| - I have been here three times in total, and all of them invites from family friends, all of them with prospective romantic partners.
So I don't know what Szechuan is supposed to look like, but judging from the décor, it looks like any other Chinese courtyard restaurant. Wall seating, round tables, and semi-private dining rooms. But as friends and family gathering goes, it's always the round tables. These tables seat a party of 8-10 comfortably. There isn't much to say about the décor, it's traditional Chinese, but nothing is emphasized, and I never understood why they must display the giant fish tanks?
The service is expected as a mid scale restaurant, professional and pretty fast. I always left the ordering to the "adults," as these are pretty authentic selections. One can also go by the photos provided for some of the dishes, but I recommend bringing someone of in-depth knowledge with Chinese food. I had some breaded straw fungus, it was probably my favourite dish. The fish here are popular, as well as the lamb soup. Every time coming here we end up ordering over a dozen dishes, all to extend the duration in the establishment allowing for maximal awkward conversation.
What is this, the 'bring you sons & daughters so they can be forced acquainted' capital of Toronto? I always imagined meeting my parents' choice of an ideal Woman at a bigger than life restaurant in China, or the hotel lobby of the Shangri La. But I guess this place would suffice.
From a future parent's perspective, this place isn't romantic. There are modified cars out front in the parking lot, Chinese kids with whatever latest trend of hairstyles that is going around Pacific mall nowadays dining beside you, and not a lot of privacy. The food is good, but get your priority straight!
Perhaps the staff here could use more identifiable uniforms, as someone from my group ordered more napkins from a girl who didn't work here.
I try my hardest to judge this solely as a restaurant, but my experiences here were all awkward, and inauspicious. I think my parents should understand that if they are to hitch their kids with their family friend's, then they need to actually select a venue where their children can actually get their 'game' on. My game is played in Yorkville, not Scarborough. I can't bloody well seduce while shoving a bowl of rice and greasy mushroom down my throat.
Szechuan Legend, where potential arranged marriages become highly awkward experiences.
