Szechuan Gourmet Restaurant

$70 down the drain. I came to try this after one of my favourite food content creators recommended it. The food was definitely not fresh (week old food if not longer). The chicken wings were rock hard, the crispy ginger chicken was bitter and burnt, all of the food consisted of the same seasonings there was no difference in flavour. This is TERRIBLE and a WASTE OF MONEY. DO NOT COME HERE!

We have been eating at this restaurant for over 18 years and the food has been consistently good over that time period. Service is very polite and quick, the food is delivered to your table piping hot within five minutes of placing the order. We especially like their house chilli sauce and the green tea. This place continues to be a family favourite.

One of my favourite Chinese food restaurants in Toronto. I used to go to a place on College st. near Spadina many years ago. The place closed down and I could not find it again. Just recently I happened to mention the place to the owner and it turns out that he owned the other place. Lucky me! The service is great! I love their hot and four soup. Fantastic! I love most of the dishes with shrimp or seafood. Their Green beans are legendary. Just the way I remember them from years ago. My friend loves his ginger beef dish and everything else he had there. We go there almost every Sunday. And, the prices are great! Highly recommended!!!

Was inspired by Chef Dev on Instagram to visit. Ordered one of the items that he had ordered - the crispy ginger chicken, mixed fried rice and fried wontons. The chicken dish consisted of boneless pieces of chicken, deep fried and slathered with ginger soy glaze. It tasted amazing with the fried rice which by itself was a bit dry for my liking. I found the wontons also to be a bit too dry because they were really small and deep fried. I will definitely go back to try the crispy chili shrimp. Service was excellent. The place itself was very cozy and clean. The interiors were well lit and maintained. The servers packed our leftovers which is a huge plus for me.

This place is very good and has been serving the community for many years. Best to go with a large group and share a bunch of different dishes.

Whenever we come into Toronto from Ottawa, we always come here for at least one meal! The restaurant is more spacious now that numerous tables have been removed due to Covid restrictions. The vegetarian spring rolls are the best spring rolls! No other Chinese restaurant spring roll compares. They put a small red dye dot on them to marl they are vegetarian. Other dishes we enjoy are beef with cashews, honey garlic spareribs and loo mein noodles. Friendly staff and lots of free parking in the parking lot in front.

Szechuan Gourmet is highly regarded and was recommended to my parents by their friends. They were so amazing that they have since gone back twice before recommending and taking me there. It was easy to see how this place is so popular. The server did a great job in recommending some dishes and they were all delicious. We got the spicy curry beef spring roll, dry sautéed Szechuan crispy shredded beef, the hot spicy chicken, vegetable fried rice and house special fried noodle. Every dish came out within minute of order and tasted so fresh and full of flavour. Each dish had intense flavour and was so enjoyable. The spring rolls were not the usual thin small spring rolls you find at most places, but very big thick spring rolls deep fried to perfection. The shredded beef was by far my favourite dish. The servers are also very personable and chatty. They have passion for their job and strive to give each diner the best experience. I can’t wait to go back to Szechuan gourmet again and I highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious Chinese food.

For a chinese restaurant, they have good customer service. We were served by an older guy and he was very patient with our questions. The food came within 15-20min of ordering. We ordered Szechuan fish, General Tao Chicken, fried rice, fried noodles and bean curd dish. I loved the fish dish the most. The serving size was large, there were 5 of us and we had to pack 2 boxes of leftovers. For the 5 dishes we ordered, the bill came to $70 with taxes. Really reasonable prices.
