Reviews The Szechuan Restaurant

Only one waiter handling guests, delivery and phone, so service a bit chaotic, though friendly. Really good food. Szechuan - but actually serve a huge range of Chinese food. But they do have the equipment for hot-pot.

Best authentic Szechuan and few other Chinese cuisines - Food is not modified to Western taste; it is the most closely eating Chinese Food in China. Personally, my retrospective memory of going to this place a decade ago, and the menu was only written in Mandarin, and I was the only western eating there surrounded by far eastern patrons. The staff by then (usually international Chinese students) read you aloud in their best English and explain each choice. The owner, a kind Chinese man, used to have several restaurants in Loughborough, including the missed MeetAll, to serve a 5-star Chinese cuisine (ornamented food that was almost a shame to be eaten). Currently, the Szechuan is up to date with Chinese/English menus and delivery service. This is an excellent opportunity to try authentic Szechuan cuisine out of China. Great Hot-Pot choice or "à-la-carte" off the Szechuan menu. Sadly, not a place to retake my old mum, with a more conventional western taste. Although, they can accommodate similar westernised food versions. The only downside is the cash-only requirement, knowing this to keep prices more affordable. Get cash in advance, or you can get it whilst they prepare your food order. For a more traditional Chinese food, there are abundant good choices around Loughborough. Plenty of Chinese/Asian/Fusion restaurants has been established in this town for extensive years, which I also endorse. Covid-secure improvements at the entrance with hand-sanitiser and acrylic dividers between tables currently in place make a meal inside as safe as possible. Food maintained the quality and consistency of always.

Fantastic food and service. Myself and my teenage daughter were stuffed!!! 100% Recommended

A lovely restaurant in Loughborough with an exciting menu where you are spoilt by choice and served with beautiful plate decorations with chopsticks. Well worth a visit do not pass it by on the way to town!

Hidden gem that everyone needs to know about. From the outside it doesn't look particular impressive, in fact we very nearly didn't go in thinking it wouldn't be any good. Luckily we did because the food was the most authentic and tasty Chinese food in the area. There's no problem ordering as there's a picture menu. Price was very reasonable (@@£10 per head and we were so full we could hardly walk). There's a good range of dishes and even the most fussy eater daughter of ours could find something she liked. We're going back there again in a few days. I think we'll be there quite often now that we've found this little hidden secret. If you want proper Chinese food, this is the place, spread the word!

Really authentic northern and Sichuan Chinese food. Big portion and really reasonably priced.

Lovely food, friendly staff, even let me have a dish of sweet and sour chicken mixed with a different chow mein dish! (which I highly recommend) Only downside was that the room was a bit small and it was very busy

Best place offering all-you-can-eat hotpot in authentic Sichuan style – extremely spicy but you will love it! Unlimited hotpot menu for £14.

So not your typical English style Chinese place food is more authentic. Hotpot is good and noodles are homemade. Recommended
