Absolutely loved my experience at Szechuan Empire! The food was incredibly delicious and bursting with amazing flavors that truly satisfied my cravings. Michelle was super friendly and provided excellent service, making the visit even better. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic and tasty Szechuan cuisine! Five stars all the way!
I was hired to photograph just a few of this restaurant dishes. I learned they have been operating for over 30+ years as a family business. Mrs. Lin who is an owner has told me that she remembers serving children who are now parents and she is NOW serving their children. Talk about full circle. Their food is authentic and delicious. I had tasted the happy family reunion and the walnut shrimp. SO GOOD!!! The general tso chicken at most chinese restaurants is deep fried. Not here. It is not deep fried and it is so good and just enough spice. Such a delight. This place is busy with carry outs during the pandemic and I see why. It is because they are truly authentic and care about what comes out of the kitchen. I highly recommend this place. Also check out their Coomer location too. 14 and Haggerty.
Stopped in Szechuan Empire for the first time. I tend to like Chinese restaurants that have been around for a while and this hit the mark. I was greeted by a cheerful waitress who told me that I could sit anywhere I would like. The power had gone out in the area so they were very busy with take out orders. I ordered two meals because I always like to take extras home. I ordered beef fried rice and Thai basil. Both were cooked perfectly and received a generous portion of both. What I liked about the beef fried rice was that the beef was actually cooked with some char, not just boiled before and thrown in at the last second like most places. I would definitely eat here again and will do so whenever I am in the mood for some good Chinese food.
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
