Delicious! We’ve been getting takeout from here for over five years. Our go-​to items are the General Tso’s chicken, chicken lo mein, sweet and sour chicken, Singapore rice noodles, egg rolls, and won ton soup. Also extremely friendly owners. A great place!

Excellent Chinese food. I love the hot and sour soup. The food here is consistently good and I’m never disappointed.

I’ve been looking for a good takeout Chinese restaurant since I moved up here 7 years ago. Szechuan Delight is easily the best and has gained a loyal and repeat customer with the quality of their food, delicious flavors, and great service. This is the only restaurant I now order from for Chinese takeout.

Not bad. Decent value for the price. Egg rolls and spring rolls were good, as was the wonton soup and crab rangoon. The chicken in the Hunan dish was a bit on the dry side, although my spicy beef was decent.
The drawback is the location, as I had several different people wandering around the parking lot when I got there and walked back outside to someone eyeballing my car and walking a circle around it. It’s not like I drive a Ferrari and someone is appreciating it.
Maybe it was a random night, but I wouldn’t send my girl back here alone to pick up an order.

Not bad at all. First time delivery. The food arrived in the estimated 45 minutes. The wings were very good. Foo yung which can be easily ruined had a good flavor; not too salty or greasy. Singapore noodles had just the right amount of heat. I’ll order from them again.

The best take out place… hands down! Great chicken wings! Their brown sauce with the beef and broccoli is dynamite. Prices are reasonable as well. This place is truly among the best Chinese take out joints in the nova area.

I have been enjoying SD for probably 20+ years. I have never had a bad meal. I can’t think of another take-​out Chinese place that is better or its equal.

Best takeout in the area. The hot and sour soup as well as the chicken lo mein are my favorites. Been going here since I was little and never disappoints.

I’ve been coming here since I was a boy. Best carry out in the area hands down. I’ve even taken leftovers to work and had coworkers ask me where I go once they’ve tried. My usual is combination fried rice, beef w/​broccoli, and Kung pao chicken & shrimp. Their General Tso chicken and Kingdom Chicken are also really good.

Great food! Great service! This little family owned restaurant is nice and humble. No MSG in their meals which is quiet comforting and doesn’t lack flavor either! I would recommend their Hong Kong style crispy noodles with the chicken and mixed vegetable white sauce, my favorite!

My favorite Chinese in the area– or, well, anywhere! We moved here about 5 years ago and tried numerous Chinese delivery places that were okay… Nothing of note. After trying Szechuan Delight, I was ready to stop trying other places and throw away the multitude of other delivery menus! I love that you can get plain lomein– I order that with the steamed veggies and its perfect together. This weekend I tried the General Tso’s bean curd (also mixed with the steamed veggies!) — it was heavenly. The General Tso’s wasn’t greasy AT ALL, it even seemed healthy (relatively of course). Steamed veggies seem like the «how can you mess that up?!» kind of thing. But some places coat them in salt and pepper or some kind of sauce, Ick. Not here. They make them the same way I’d make them myself. Oh, the spring rolls are by far the best of all the delivery places too.

Tried most of the places in the area and this is the best when it comes to Chinese food. Staff is always nice, food is always great and the prices are decent.

Tom and his wife serve up some consistently good Chinese food. Best General Tso and Orange Chicken in NoVa. Crispy light batter and big chunks of white meat. Also, the Hunan fish filet and crispy chicken are yummy as well.

The place isn’t much to look at nor are the people quite welcoming. I don’t mind it because their rice is delicious. Someone else who wrote a review wrote that it has a smokey flavor to it, and it does! I get the chicken wings and rice here and the smokey flavor is amazing. No idea what it is but it’s different and I’m a fan.

I miss this place. I ordered from here all the time. I never had an issue with my food and it was tasty. It was always hot and fresh. The General tso was made using chicken breast chunks, huge chunks. The noodles and everything else was on point and never disappointed. I’m glad this place was there when I lived in that lousy areA.

Best Chinese food I’ve had in a long time! This place opened my eyes to the wonderful was that is general tsos tofu! This is the first time I’ve seen a vegetarian version of general tsos anything so I was excited to try it. It did not disappoint!
The veggie spring rolls were lacking in flavor. I’d skip those if I were you. Highly recommend this place though for a quick dinner.

There aren’t a ton of good Chinese places near me, but this one has officially become my new go-​to Chinese place. I got the Kung pao chicken combo with fried rice & an egg roll, crab Rangoon, a spring roll. The Kung pao chicken is delicious. Not too spicy but enough of a kick that makes it really good; it was also piping hot when it got to me (I think the restaurant is only a few mins driving from me). It’s also a generous portion of rice and chicken and veggies. Really good.
The crab Rangoon wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but it was still ok. The spring roll was really good — not greasy like some other places. Egg roll — just as good.
Plus delivery was fast and very polite. I’ll definitely be ordering again!

What we have ordered here so far is really good. The fried rice has a smoky flavor that I have never tasted in fried rice before but it is yummy! The «go to» for my hubby is the General Tso’s Combo. I have had it before too and really liked it. The chicken pieces are huge and flavorful. My «go to» is the Chicken in Hot Garlic Sauce Combo. Has a bit of a kick and delish. We have had many dishes here and would order any of them again. I am allergic to shellfish so I wish they had egg rolls without shrimp but I can suffice with the spring rolls.
P. S. We are waiting for our delivery as I type :-D

The only place I’ll go for Chinese food! The food is ALWAYS good. It’s clean and the staff is very pleasant.
I usually get the lo mein. It’s my favorite. It’s soooo delicious. My daughter gets the Orange chicken or general tso’s chicken. I’ve sampled both and they both are really good. I’m sure that if you go here you won’t be disappointed.

I was lured to this dining facility due to the cheap prices and I needed something inside me quick
This is your typical fast food Chinese joint. Szechuan Delight is tucked away in the shopping center. Traffic is terrible in this part of town so be ready to wait and fight for parking spots… very busy
