Szechuan Gourmet Restaurant

Not the neat Chinese I have ever had, but so far haven’t found any better. Takeout and delivery only and the family who runs it is very nice. Been going here for 6 years now.

I order a large combination fried rice BIG SURPRISE they only add 4 small portion of chicken and 2 shrimps the res was only rice I never go back to this place

No way am I ordering here again. Gourmet? I don’t think so. The wonton soup I got was tasteless and boring, and the crispy noodles were yellow and slimy. I don’t know how I managed to finish it all. The egg roll looked fat and disgusting. I ordered a combination lo mein with pork, shrimp, beef, and chicken. Um, where was the meat? Apparently nowhere, unless you want to count one nice sized piece of beef and chicken and little pieces of shrimp foraged somewhere in the tupperware. The noodles were extremely greasy and and had a terrible after taste. And to top it all off, it was an expensive order ($ 12 for 3 items? I could get that for $ 10). Okay, the price maybe wasn’t that bad. But my stomach said NO and it ran right through me.
They were kind enough to leave a menu, but the survey says, I won’t be ordering from them again.

I like this place. Quick and easy and very friendly. I enjoyed the crab wonton. General Sao chicken is very tasty and fresh. Delivery comes fast and hot. I’d eat here again for sure.

Very good Chinese.
I had the triple delight with fried rice.
It was quite good.
This is take out only.
The best Chinese I’ve found in Manassas.

I had a coupon for this place. I thought it was a restaurant but it is strictly a carry-​out or delivery place. My wife and I both got the hot and sour soup and I got the orange beef and she got a chicken dish. I used to work on a mainframe computer which supported IBM’s Time Sharing Option or TSO and so it was nice to see General Time Sharing Option on the menu!
The food was very good. The only place I ever got better hot and sour soup was The House of Dynasty. My orange beef was very nice. I think it too was the second best I ever ate. We got no duck so I can’t comment on their fowl meat.
I’m sure I will go back to this place.

We got the Duck and it was the worse in life! It was like chewing rubber. I’m sure they gave us a 10-​days old duck that was reheated more than a couple of times. I could not believe they gave that to us as paying customers. We called to complain — they asked us to take the duck back & they’ll refund us— so we did. That was inconvenient & we almost got sick! Never again! Just say you don’t have duck instead of giving your customers old meat! I wish i took pictures but I totally forgot! Gross!

The food was overpriced for what we got. $ 6 – 7 for each small meal. The quality was bad. Duh. I get that it’s a fast food takeout place. But in my defense the meat (the pork and beef in two desperate dishes) was dry, flavorless, and tasted old. The dishes themselves were drowning in an unflattering sauce. They only redeeming quality was the general Tso’s chicken. That was pretty good. Other than that, I’d say no to ordering from here again. Not worth those small few bucks. Food was done pretty quick though, but that in itself is kind of a red flag. Makes you wonder how long the food has actually been «ready».

Based on other reviews I decided to take a chance and I’m glad I did. I’m also very picky about my chinese food and often fine what other’s consider «good» is below average to me. Szechuan Gourmet was very good! The general tso’s chicken was the best we’ve had anywhere and I’m not a huge fan of general tso’s chicken in general. It was spicy and flavorable without being overly sweet. The fried rice was good and the pan fried noodles were about average. The servings were HUGE… just as others have commented. This is definitely my new go to place for Chinese.

I am kind of obsessed with Chinese take out. I consider myself to be somewhat of an expert, in all fairness; I could eat Chinese every night of the week and probably never get sick of it. Let me start by agreeing with the other reviews, if you are looking for inexpensive takeout, this isn’t the place for you… there is no $ 5.99 dinner special here, however, every penny is well spent. I adore the kung pao chicken and shrimp combination. Chicken, shrimp, onion, peanuts, sauce… bam! Flavor explosion without it tasting like a salt lick. Also, the portion size is insane. I can eat at least two, sometimes three meals. The Crab Rangoon is to die for. It doesn’t have an overly sweet filling and it is never greasy. I’m also a fan of the chicken and corn chowder, this paired with an eggroll is fantastic when you are feeling pretty blah. As long as you order delivery you will spare yourself the downside of this place, I made the mistake of stopping in one night to pick something up and was a little sketched out by the building. It’s a counter, a few office chairs, a 1980’s commercial drink cooler, and an itty bitty fish tank with about 600 little fish babies swimming around. It isn’t the cleanest place I’ve ever been, but the food is stellar so I’ll just remember to let them bring it to me from now on.

This is one of the better chinese restaurants in Manassas. I order from them a few times a month, and always get what I order. It seems that businesses like these thrive from reproducing the same homogeneous but ambiguous recipes. These folks do it better a little less greasy, not as overly overly salty.
Their service is good. The delivery driver can speak to the vernacular. Their prices are slightly more than the competition, but the quality and quantity justifies as much.
