| - The name Szechuan EXPRESS should be a hint to everyone who rips this place apart, that they are a business that focuses on quick service Chinese food. Based on the exterior of the building, you should not have super high expectations. A more "dive" style restaurant, this place is great for cheap Chinese food, conveniently located in a college environment. More authentic than other places, you can't beat the prices that range from $5 and up. They also offer more than 150 menu options.
While they offer General Tso's chicken, egg rolls, and other Americanized dishes. I haven't tried them. I know people can be very reluctant to try new dishes but step outside of your comfort zone and for such a cheap price, what do you have to lose? For example, ??? (salty pepper chicken), ??? (3 cups basil chicken), ??? /??? (seasoned beef or chicken). These dishes do not come in the styrofoam containers that most dishes will receive. They come in a plastic bowl with a clear top.
If you go at peak hours, it can be very hard to find seating. But take a look around and see that the reason you can't find a seat is because of all the Chinese people eating there. That should indicate to you that the food is decent, even for them. One of my Chinese friends eats here almost every day. As others have said, look around what they are eating, and if it looks good, just ask what the dish is.
Order in Chinese and you'll get a small discount.
