Taste of Szechuan

As we enter, we instantly recognize/remember the location formerly being an Elmer's restaurant! Flooding of childhood memories enter our minds, giving us hope that this experience will be good... So! We order the crab rangoon, fried shrimp, General Tso's chicken and Mongolian Beef (lunch specials). Crab rangoon: very crispy and the filling is ample; the sauce that comes with it ruins it. The sauce has ginger in it, paired with the cream cheese from the filling, creates a "mold" or "mildew" taste. Poor poor sauce choice. Fried shrimp: My personal test of a restaurant's skill. They failed. Definitely the most interesting looking fried shrimp I've seen, but as soon as I bit into it...disappointment. The batter is what I call my "whoopsie" batter. It's gummy. Not something I'd serve at a re

Taste of Szechuan is a family-owned restaurant that serves up some of the best Chinese food I’ve had in a long time. The orange chicken was perfectly crispy with just the right balance of sweet and tangy sauce, and the salt and pepper fish was absolutely fantastic! Light, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the large portions, so you definitely get your money’s worth here! The dining room is spacious and comfortable, making it a great spot for family gatherings, parties, or group events. Friendly service, delicious food, and unbeatable value — I’ll definitely be coming back to Taste of Szechuan again soon!

Look, I get it. The holidays. Really busy. You weren't prepared. I really do get it that's why I was willing to wait 45 minutes to have my order taken. That's why I was willing to wait 3! Hours for my food. But when you served 5 tables who came in after me, before you served me even a bowl of rice. I couldn't even get a water refill. I was literally shaking from low blood sugar and that's not an issue I have. You might not know that you can change the settings on your delivery app to slow orders down. Those sales are important but you make less money than your in house guests. I have enjoyed eating here in the past so I'll likely be back and I hope next year you're better prepared.

Wonderfully fresh and authentic food and outstanding service! We had the cucumber salad (thanks to the owner for this thoughtful birthday gesture), pan-fried potstickers, mixed vegetables with garlic sauce and spicy popcorn chicken. This new restaurant is in the old Elmers on 82nd….We can’t wait to go back and try different dishes!

Almost missed the restaurant, but we are glad we spotted it. Food: taste and portion are definitely better than the price. Service: The server is attentive. Atmosphere: Inside is spacious, clean, and quiet. We will be back again as it's worth the trip from Vancouver.
