Pros: Food is better than the reviewsThe scallion pancake is basically perfectionThey’re open until 11pm on weekends and they deliverCons:I got the chicken with asparagus, and it was a much smaller portion than I expectedMy takeout felt light and I asked if they included rice.. she assured me they did. It turns out they forgot the white riceGood enough to go back. I never realized how important rice is until I didn’t have any.

It was very good. Ordered chicken with garlic sauce med spicy but didn't taste any garlic, just the chili oil. Mongolian beef was very delicious. Staff very helpful with explanations of menu items.

I wanted to like it here, but the chicken in our meal was so low quality we didn't end up eating it. The food is priced well and our apps/beers were good, but I truly couldn't bring myself to eat the meat.

Really solid Chinese place that does much better than those generic Chinese spots. Most Chinese restaurants are the same and they all serve the same 'cisco A + B = Chinese' ingredients. Szechuan Spice is great simply because they have dishes you can't get at a lot of other places. Their Szechuan hot pot is fantastic.

Very nice place. Good food and good presentation. Could do with a 'seat yourself/wait for seating' sign

Diverse selection of food and most of them I liked. Try their crispy beef and mapo tofu. Don't remember the name of the item exactly but there was a seafood dish with shrimp, crispy noodles and potato that I really enjoyed. The server was really nice too

My husband and I love this place. Their spicy food is *actually* spicy! So often I go to a place and they've got a rating scale for spice and it doesn't hold up at all. They don't pull any punches and it's great to walk away feeling like my face has burned off. I love spicy food! If you do too, I can't recommend them enough.

Green onion pancake does not have any green onion but it is very tasty. Beef noodle is waaaay better at my Huong kitchen. It's unpredictable what veggies you are going to get in the beef noodle, but it is acceptable. They should do a little better and they could be a much more Delicious restaurant

Chicken with double pepper chilli was great. The right amount of Szechuan pepper and one of the few places where spicy actually means spicy. 🌶️🌶️ Is perfect if you like spicy.

The tofu and bean curd dishes are very good. I'm not even a vegetarian but I always get these! Every dish I have tried here has been very good, I have tried about 15 different dishes. It is not low-quality Chinese food. Thank you Szechuan Spice !

A lovely, small Szechuan/Sichuan restaurant on the edge of Uptown (near Huge Improv Theater), they have a wide selection of both Chinese-American dishes and traditional Chinese fare. Amazing quality with gracious and helpful wait staff. Their lamb dishes are phenomenal!They also have free parking across the street: a welcome bonus, especially in Uptown!

I thought this place was very nice. The inside decor was nice. And the whole atmosphere was appropriate for this restaurant. The food was very authentic and it reminds me of my trip to china. If you like this spot I would recommend Magic Noodle in saint paul, now that place is a 5 star. Otherwise great experience.

Start with the Shanghai mini juicy buns, you won’t be disappointed! Next time I will ask for more spice on the Kung Pao tofu.

Usually we dine in and always try something new and delicious. We’ve never been disappointed by a dish here. We ordered delivery for the first time recently and it was also amazing. Favorites include steamed veggie dumplings, eggplant, green beans.

Great food and not expensive. Good ingredients. Not too spicy or salty but flavorful. Variety of dishes to suit the taste of different races snd ages. Family friendly. I love xiao long bao, sesame beef (crispy and light..divine!), and authentic szechuan dishes. I always have a great time there most of the time. However at one time the xiao long bao are not fresh. I ordered 2 sarvings and one was as great as usual; the other was kinda sour. So I guess I was unlucky on that day. But all in all, this is where I would recommend friends to eat for China styled Chinese food..

First of all happy Chinese New Year!! We went for noodles for Chinese New Year and it was as delicious! The texture of the noodles was a little softer than expected but the sesame sauce what on point! Beef was great soft, tender, little heat from the chilis, over all dinner was delicious will come back soon!!!

We were amazed at the variety and complexity of the dishes we tried. Many of which I had never heard of before. Stir fry dishes were each unique in their own way. Had the Shredded Duck with Ginger and was surprised to find a generous amount of tender, tea smoked duck with delicious sauce and a prominent but not overwhelming ginger taste. The crab balls are a must try! Crunchy exterior with sweet, soft crabmeat inside. Sweet and Sour Fish had bite sized pieces of flounder in a slightly sweet and very savory sauce. It was absolutely delicious! Pehaps one of the most creative menus I've ever seen in a Chinese restaurant. We will definitely be returning!

Our first time here. Courteous and food came quickly. Portion is pretty generous and reasonable price. We ordered 2 Szechuan dishes, one fish dish and one cold beef slices. We thought they were so so. Feel like something was missing. Food is a bit at the salty side.

Food was alright. I tried the Dan Dan noodles since people seemed to like it. I have it 4 stars since the service was good. We were greeted right away and since it wasnt busy we picked our seats

Questions & Answers

Sichuan is a province of China with a distinct style of Chinese food. Sichuan spice is usually used to refer to the Sichuan pepper known for its spicy numbing effect.

I don't believe that they are, although I would call! This is one of my family's favorite restaurants. They have exceptional food, as you may already know.
