Pretty authentic Szechuan place. The portions are generous and most of the dishes taste really good. Will recommend if you are just passing town and craving for some spicy Chinese food. Not expensive either.
Hands down some of the best Chinese I’ve ever had. Wow. I thought I was kidnapped by Guy Fieri because we ended up in flavor town. The complex flavors of these seemingly simple dishes was amazing. Egg with tomato...sounds simple but do yourself a favor and order it. The cold lung appetizer sounds off putting but it’s really good. The duck with chili and peppers (7 step duck?) was one of the best duck dishes I’ve ever had. If it’s empty when you show up don’t worry. We were the only table on a Sunday and they still crushed it. They are plenty busy with takeout orders so it’s not like people aren’t back there cooking. Big thanks to my buddy for showing me this place.
The best Chinese restaurant in CLE for my money. Great selection of both authentic and American style Chinese food. The prices are reasonable and portions large. The wait staff's first language is not English so communication is a little difficult but they are always friendly. My personal favorite is the Tian Fu chicken, crispy little pieces of fried spicy chicken, delicious!
My wife and I stumbled upon this place entirely by accident, and what a happy accident it turned out to be. The menu was a mix of traditional "American" Chinese food and some lesser known dishes. We tried the baby bok choy, a pork belly dish, and the steamed dumplings, and it was the most delicious Chinese meal we've had in downtown Cleveland.
The staff was also very friendly.
Food was really good. My only wish was that the waitress would have been a little more patient knowing we had never been there. I felt a bit rushed to order and would have appreciated a recommendation. We will definitely go back.
I have been going here for years; glad that they now allow indoor seating again. My favorite: the ma po tofu. The atmosphere is friendly and unpretentious, and the food is excellent. To my untrained palate, this seems like the real thing; if I ever visit Sichuan, I will have had a foretaste of it here.
Authentic. Great taste. Ate here during a business trip. The food, flavors, and service were all great.
The pandemic years have brought so many changes to our once favorite restaurants. Some, we have loved for years have closed, or may no longer seem appealing as if all the favored chefs have departed and nothing tastes quite the same.
It was therefore a welcome treat to stop at Szechuan Cafe for take out. It had been a number of years since I had had any food from this restaurant and I had no idea how much I would like it. I ordered a shrimp egg roll, and Szechuan beef for myself; and shrimp fried rice for my granddaughter. The food was moderately priced. The portions were fair sized. The food was excellent! My Szechuan beef was filled with beef strips and flavorful sauce. My granddaughter loved her rice which had a lot of shrimp in it and was fried well. My trip to Szechuan Cafe was not planned, but I will definitely be back again soon!
This was such an unexpected delight! We walked in to an empty restaurant and received the best General Tso's I've ever had. Crispy and glazed to perfection; we split an already reasonably priced meal and had plenty left over. Fried dumplings were also a win. Great, personable service and excellent food. Will definitely be back again.
Large portions if authentically cooked chinese food. The shui Zhu yu was perfectly balanced, just the right amount of spice. The four seasons green beans were perfectly dehydrated without scorch marks. I would finite lyrics come back for a second meal.
