We were looking for Chinese restaurant and we came across this one and we wanted to give it a try. The food is great specially the noodles which were freshly made and they were perfect …. The food has a Sechuan spicy authentic flavor and we really loved it. The service was good and waitresses were attentive and friendly. In terms of price, it is very affordable and the portions are really big and will make you full. I definitely recommend it to people who are looking for authentic Chinese and specially Sechuan Cuisine but be advised it is spicy and yummy.

Szechuan Chef is a must-stop if you’re in San Diego and love real Chinese food. Everything we ordered was bold, fresh, and full of flavor, but the deep-fried kidney beans were the surprise standout — absolutely addictive. Crispy, savoury, and impossible to stop eating. Service was quick and friendly, and the portions were generous. Easily one of the best Szechuan meals I’ve had. Would come back just for those beans.

The flavor and quality of each dish we had was genuinely top notch. Probably the best authentic style Chinese food I've had so far. We had the chef special fried rice, chili oil wantons, Dan Dan noodles, dried red pepper chicken and fish fillet in thickening hot chili oil. I've always wanted to try real Szechuan food so I could experience the Sichuan Peppercorn that numbs your mouth. I have to say, after all the hype, I really didnt like the experience of the overwhelming numbing and somewhat zingy/tangy/citrus flavor of the peppercorn. My wife and cousin didn't like it either. To be clear, I love to eat extremely strange and difficult foods that most people would never even try. The service was attentive and the food came very quickly, though the server spoke almost no English, so you won't be able to ask questions or make adjustments. Which is fine, but you just need to be ready for that. If the food didn't have the Sichuan Peppercorn in it (some dishes don't, like the chef special fried rice, which was amazing), it would be the best Chinese food I've ever had.
