We have been frequenting Szechuan Inn over the past 5 years and it has not let us down on each and every occasion. Service par excellence! I have not posted the photo of main dish but my firm favourite remains Bok Choy in garlic & oyster sauce with steamed rice.

Our first visit to this fine establishment. After entering Thatcham from Newbury concerned we had somehow taken a wrong turn into Gaza from Israel we located the restaurant. It was super busy, a good sign, but we were politely received despite our lack of booking. We had mixed, Aromatic Duck and then our mains. Everything was delicious and the arrival of the food nicely spaced and not rushed. All the staff were attentive and the atmosphere was vibrant, kicking for a Saturday night. Not a place for romantics so much but if you’re after a bit of a bubble and enjoy people watching whilst having your nosh it’s the place for you. Escaping Thatcham at turn out time was interesting but it won’t put us off returning. A special mention goes out for the owners Barnet. Yeh baby.
On Sundays they do a buffet which was £17.50 per adult. Since covid, the buffet has been table service only but you can still order as much as you want. The food is really tasty, particularly the satay chicken. The restaurant itself however is very outdated and could use some TLC.
Lovely friendly restaurant 😋 we've been coming here since it first opened many years ago, bringing all our family and friends here for good food.

Good place to eat. Staff welcoming and fully COVID compliant. All tables screened of. Excellent choice on menu. Quick efficient service. Food was excellent and arrived in good time. Portions are good and prices are reasonable. All four of us enjoyed our meal.
Wow! Haven't been here for years but it did not disappoint! Fabulous food and the staff were brilliant and very helpful! Can't recommend this place enough!
The staff are so friendly and service it’s amazing, the food is delicious I love this place so much. I definitely recommend the set menus so you can get a bit of everything. I would go here everyday if I had the money.
Great service, delicious food!! Manager great, you can really see he takes pride. This is our first visit, many more to come
My friend had organised a meal out with other friends to celebrate my birthday...
The place was extremely busy. Chose food from set menu to cater for number in our party.
Took photos of food as it was served..... It was wonderful !!
Not had a Chinese meal in 3 years so this was a real treat. Food was excellent and staff very friendly and attentive
Because it was a Wednesday. Seemed to be the only place open.
Busy evening. Lots of people dining.
We ordered two set meals which came on a central sharing plate.
Couldn't really see what we had ordered.
The crispy duck with thin pancakes was tasty.
Main course was enough food to fill.
Took some home for following days lunch.
£22.00 per person was sufficient set menu for 2.
Wine at £24.00 per bottle was acceptable.
Two people got tummy disturbance.
Generally a nice evening.
Don't begin to understand the bill and chinese language.
However working the menu back it seemed accurately priced according to the menu.
OK for an evening!!!!
I have been a patron now for some 30 years. Always excellent food and service. I visited last year 2021 with my then fiance, now my wife. We visited on Saturday 12th March 2022 The food was delicious and piping hot. The table service was first class, as always. A very warm welcome from proprietor and staff. The staff continue to wear ppe and tables are divided by clear plastic drop-screens. Super atmosphere, light background music, allowing conversion. We live 185 miles away, and happy to travel for the experience.
We ordered the set menu for four. Starters, duck course followed by mains. It was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this place.
Great food, great staff and great company!!
Peking banquet with some personal choices, restaurants is happy to change some of the dishes to suit your tastes.
What a lovely restaurant and the food is out of this world, the starter platter had so many dishes and the smoked chicken and pepper prawns are the best I have ever eaten.
The food in this place is fantastic.There are so many dishes to choose from,but the quality and presentation is superb.
