Review Szechwan Chinese Restaurant - Orinda

We have found a new favorite appetizer, the Lettuce Cups! Last night I had the Fresh Chow Fun noodles and BBQ Pork made in their kitchen...delicious! I like and have tried almost everything on the menu. The food is very tasty and it's served hot. Fast and friendly service, reasonable prices.

From the home made pot stickers to the orange slices at the end of our meal, everything was amazing. The honey walnut prawns had the right amount of mayonnaise and it was not overly sweet. Perfect balance. We also order the BBQ Pork Chow fun with steamee broccoli, salt and pepper prawns, and tomato prawns. They were all so delicious. The food was not oily at all. This is my go to place when I'm in the area.

The ownership changed over but the food remains excellent. Always a friendly and clean place for a family meal. We start out with the pot stickers and sizzling soup. The Singapore noodle with shrimp, pork and steak in curry sauce is a must try.

My girlfriend showed me this Gem of a restaurant years ago. Her family has eaten here since old ownership. Well I'm happy that not much has changed food wise. They are still making delicious food and offering amazing service. I love this place and everyone is so friendly.

Fast and delicious! The Hot and Sour Soup is amazing! Went here again and as always, fast and delicious! Had the sweet n sour shrimp.

Get your daily dose of kindness, along with the best food. Everyone here is genuinely welcoming and friendly. Consistently delicious flavors, quality ingredients and generous portions. My favorite has always been the Hong Kong style chow mein which I ask for without meat. The vegetables are bright and crisp; the noodles are a combination of crunchy and soft with a lovely gravy and everything always arrives piping hot and fresh. I can't stop eating those noodles even if the portion is extremely large! I also highly recommend the Kung po tofu which is delicate and soft inside yet crispy outside served with peppers and peanuts. Our newest favorite is the lettuce cups made with tofu instead of meat. This dish is addictive- the tofu is cut neatly into tiny cubes and served along with onions and spices and is of a chewy consistency; perfect to accompany the very crisp, neatly trimmed lettuce leaves. Grateful is the word- to have this wonderful restaurant in our neighborhood.

This restaurant has been one of my favorite Chinese restaurant for the past 20 years.. having been out of state for some months..I went back to order my favorite dish. "Szechwan shrimp".. it has a delicate thin batter and deep fried in a hot oil (peanut) which makes it a very fine palate treat..this time however my take out order came as "sweet and sour shrimp". It has a very thick heavy batter, deep fried in a less than desirable oil. When I confronted the order lady of my observation. She claimed that it was my order. Evidently both dishes are prepared and sold as one dish. When asked if it was the same ownerships she claimed that it was. The gentleman who previously took my order(probably the owner) was no longer there. Bad experience..bad food as well as being lied to

A delicious find on my way home. Wonderfully attentive and friendly phone service (due to covid-19). When I arrived the food was almost ready and I didn't have to wait too long. The szechuan lamb, s&p wings, and orange beef were awesome!! I will definitely order here again when I travel on hwy 24.

No MSG is used in the dishes, which include tasty hot-and-sour soup, sweet-and-sour pork (cut in small pieces and not overly sweet), and Szechwan beef (deep-fried meat punctuated with bright green peas).
