Long Lines, But Worth the Wait

by marisa 17 at Citysearch

So, you want to sit down at a restaurant but, you'd rather have something besides American food or Korean BBQ? Well make sure you stop by Szechuan Gourmet. It can get a little crowded so call ahead if your group is large. We had only 3 total so we were seated within 15 minutes of getting there. Their lunch specials include Soup (Egg Drop, Wonton or Hot & Sour) and the portions are decent. Oh yea, I almost forgot they serve rice with all their lunch specials. I had Sweet and Sour Chicken and it was typical Chinese food, nothing special but still worth the wait and price. I should have tried something more exotic but, I couldn't make up my mind. If you don't mind a little rudeness from your server and want to get some GREAT wonton soup in your tummy, try this place out. It's not ideal to take your clients here, but, I will recommend it for a sitdown lunch with your peers!

too hot, too spicy

by OBMan56 at Citysearch

I tried the szechuan food here and it was too spicy. I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be like that. I don'r think I will go back again.The service of this restaurant was okay.

• Cons: spicy

beware the 56 St. restaurant

by CeCeS at Citysearch

Within hours of making my first charge purchase from the 56 St. store, a huge and mysterious payment was charged to my card to Western Union.

As a result, I had to cancel out the card, am not sure if I will get my money back (over $700), and had to have the bank go through a two-week investigation.

Since this has never happened to me before and since it coincided with Szechuan Gourmet -- is it a coincidence?

• Pros: nothing is worth this hassle
• Cons: credit card problems galore

The Food is not fresh

by mh1040 at Citysearch

I ordered the Stir Fried Fish Filets w. Mixed Veggie and it was horrible. The dish was either sit in the kitchen for awhile or was defrosted from the freezer. I personally will not return.

My Favorite Chinese Restaurant

by aldo2002 at Citysearch

No atmos and sometimes they run out of beer but otherwise this place is a great little resource. I love tons on the the dishes and I've always found US chinese food (much like US indian cuisine) to be awfully poor next to their UK counter-parts (don't hate me). This place is solid, cheap, nice and the service is fine. Put it on your radar.

• Pros: Toungue Tripe, Cold Noodle, Vinegar sauce fish
• Cons: airport decor (but what did you expect)
