| - Craving one of my old haunts, I decided to stop by Szechuan Express today. This place used to be one of my favs back in the day. Now, not so much.
I called ahead and placed a to go order for their Szechuan chow mein, which typically contains beef, pork, chicken and shrimp. No complaints about the chow mein. It was tasty just as I remembered.
However, now I remember why I stopped frequenting this place... two reasons.
!) For the longest, they would not accept calls from blocked numbers. I would get so annoyed when I tried to call them that I would just hang up and call Best Hong Kong (which is literally two doors down) instead. Apparently, my call went through today so I think they finally wised up.
2) The place has a funny smell to it. I'm almost tempted to describe it as a stench. I would never choose to stay and eat there. Strictly, to go only. The place is very small anyhow with only a few small tables with chairs (smaller than my living room), I know they deliver but I hate delivery.
Can't comment on customer service since I ordered to go. I walked in, paid cashier (who said hello and thank you) and walked out. Food is decent (3 stars); decor/smell (2 stars).
