| - My family used to come here quite a bit. Maybe we've been visiting recently on off days, but the quality of the food, from my experience, has deteriorated.
If I wrote this review based on my first few experiences at this restaurant, I would give it 4 stars... but I haven't been too impressed during my last few visits.
I love spicy food, so I personally would say that the food isn't too spicy, but I can't speak for everyone else-- A good portion of the dish is actually just chilli peppers-- which, even for spicy food lovers like me, means that the amount of food you can actually eat is less than it appears. I won't complain about that though, as the food in this restaurant is still extremely cheap. My family of 5 usually spends around $40-$60 here, with food left to take home.
There aren't really that many vegetarian options, although the eggplant and vegetarian's delight usually tastes pretty good (except during my last visits, when it was barely decent).
Nonetheless, the food is usually quite flavourful (like I said, during the past few visits, the flavour hasn't been as good), and is really authentic Szechuan cuisine. I like the spicy beef appetizer, eggplant, the crispy chilli chicken dish (forgot the real English name, but it's crispy!) and Dan Dan noodles.
The food is a bit too salty, though, and in most dishes a TON of oil is used so it can taste a bit greasy. They don't use MSG in their dishes though, so I guess that is a plus.
And no, the waiters do not speak English very well, but communication is definitely possible. And they are quite friendly, despite the fact that this restaurant is generally very busy.
There are three other restaurants that are part of this restaurant chain: Chilli secrets in Richmond Hill, Szechuan legend in Scarborough, and another one that I've never been too. Personally, Szechuan legend is my favourite, although I haven't been there in a while.
