Szechuan Gourmet

I order from Szechuan Gourmet bi-weekly for my spicy fix, and I have a few faves: Crispy Lamb with Cumin and Fish Fillet with Napa. They are super hot and super delicious! I'd recommend this place to all my friends!

I just ordered the the Stir-Fried Chicken Breast w/ Mixed Veg lunch special and was upset at the lack of vegetables. There was A LOT of chicken, a few carrots, 3 snow peas, and some mushrumps. The dish looked really unappetizing - it was very white and slimy - but it tasted surprisingly good. Since I ordered for pick up, the whole thing only cost me $8 and it came with egg drop soup (also tasty). I might try reordering from Szechuan Gourmet, but I think I'll choose something from the 'most popular items' list next time.

I went to Szechuan Gourmet with a friend because of their 2 star nytimes review and the fact that I can walk to lunch from work on 42 street.. I just made the connection that I don't need to order mediocre Murray Hill takeout anymore. The flavors are so unique - if you like spicy, this the place for you. There are lots of uncommon items on the menu that are worth a try, but if you would like to stay simple, items like the Chicken and Broccoli are really flavorful. To top it off, I ordered at 5:02 and the food was at my door at 5:16. In addition, if you dinner order is over $20 you get free spicy sesame noodles!

Best szechuan food I've had. Delicious, really spicy, and the large portions reheat well. Delivery is reasonably prompt, and I've never had anything missing yet.

It doesn't get any better than this for Szechuan food in midtown. As the lines at the restaurant attests, the medley of heat and flavors are amazing.

Make sure that you stick with Szechuan specialties. The Double Cooked Pork lunch special is great.

Delivery is relatively fast, but avoid noon on Friday which seems to be peak. We like to order right at 11:30 when they open for fastest service. Highlights for delivery are smoked tofu & celery, spicy cucumbers, dan dan, crispy chicken w/ green chiles LS, mapo tofu LS, 10 ingredient mai fun, pork belly w/ leeks LS, pork with braised tofu LS, etc.

Terrible delivery service. I waited more than 1 hour while my office was 10 min away. Called the restaurant and the person was very impatient

delivery estimate was 15-30 minutes and over the course of 2 hours, whenever i called to check on it, they kept saying "the boy" was on his way. when i finally asked to cancel the order, they would not do it so i had to call seamless to take care of it. very very rude service.
