Pros

Szechwan Express is a hidden gem for those craving authentic Szechuan cuisine. The restaurant's menu boasts a wide variety of traditional dishes, including spicy options that will tantalize your taste buds. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. The service is also commendable, with friendly and attentive staff who ensure that your dining experience is pleasant.

Cons

Some customers have reported that the food can be a bit oily, and the atmosphere is not exactly upscale.

It's so hard to find good Chinese food wherever you go. Fortunately I found this place. I ordered 2 shrimp fried rice and two spring rolls. Delicious! I can't wait to return to try something else!

Easily the best Chinese food I've had. Their prices are fantastic for the portion size and they are extremely quick with making the food fresh. Their delivery is almost always very fast and the same guy delivers it each time. He is literally the sweetest guy you will meet without actually speaking to you. I believe the restaurant is family owned which is really nice. The size of the actual dinning space is fairly small, but cozy, so it's best to do take out or delivery. If it's just 2 or 3 people you should be good to eat in. Almost every item on their menu has a alternative meat counterpart, which is great because everyone can get a meat that they like. I basically have only tried their chicken dishes because chicken is my favorite meat. -I love their Sweet & Sour Chicken which has chunks of cooked onion, bell pepper and pineapple in it. -Their Cashew Chicken is super flavorful and the best thing to order if you prefer salty over sweet. It has a lot of extra sauce in it which you can pour over the plain white rice and it makes the overall meal more filling. -Their Chicken Pon Pon is excellent, but costs a little more than the other dishes and I'm not sure why. -The Lemon Chicken is easily the best lemon chicken I've ever had and also comes with extra sauce at the bottom of the container which I put with my rice also. -Their Chicken Moo Goo Gai Pan is very savory and honestly reminds me more of soup. -Their Sesame Chicken is pretty good, but there are these little noodles at the bottom of the container that have an interesting texture and that soak up the extra sauce. -Both the Chicken with Broccoli and the Chicken with Peapods are very tasty, but I prefer the Cashew Chicken. -The Orange Chicken is different than any other orange chicken I've had before because it is shaped differently and thus it cooks differently. It is still tasty, but it's not my favorite dish of their's. -Their Chicken Lo Mein is the second best lo mein ever had and it is ordered with every meal. -The Chicken fried rice is a must if you don't like plain white rice. -Recently tried their Egg Rolls for the first time and they are very scrumptious. -The Fried Wontons are very plain. They are essentially a fried chip you dip into a sauce. They still taste okay, but the Cream Cheese Wontons are far better. -With every dish you order you get a good size portion of white rice and because we get so much extra white rice we haven't ordered the chicken fried rice in a while just to save a little extra. The sauces from every dish really come in handy.
