Food is awesome but the service is iffy. Sometimes it's good and sometimes they treat you like you are something stuck to the bottom of their shoe. I think it depends on which waiter you get. Nonetheless, the food is good. Szechwan Palace over in Phoenix used to be one of my favorite restaurants. I love spicy foods! However, the past couple of times the food has been overly salty or not as tasty. My parents informed me of Szechwan Garden and said I HAD to try it. Rumor has it that the chef from Szechwan Palace left and opened up Szechwan Garden, but I have no idea whether this is actually true or not.
I must say I definitely was not disappointed. Excellent flavors and it is much closer too. I can't say that it tastes exactly like Szechwan Place used to, but it is up to par. If you go you must order the 'cold platter' trio combo. Go up to the front display and you can visually pick what you want. My favorite is the spicy beef tendon. As for dishes, I recommend the Kung Pao Chicken, very flavorful. If u can, go for lunch, the dishes are cheaper than dinner and they are still very decently sized. My parents go here like 3-4X a week and say the hot pot is amazing too, but I have yet to try it.
