" Szechuan Chef has a cozy vibe and really good food! I tried the cold mixed beef and was blown away by the flavors. Portions could be a bit better, though; I wish there was more! Still, I've recommended this place to all my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place offers some of the best Szechuan food I've had in Portland! I ordered the mapo tofu, and it was beautifully spicy. The portions are generous, and the prices fair. However, I did notice that the service was a bit slow during my visit, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars overall. But the flavors make up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here with my colleagues on a Friday night. The atmosphere was lively, but the service was a slight letdown as we had to wait a while for our food. When the dishes finally arrived, we were all amazed by the authentic taste! The spicy string beans were a particular favorite. Overall, worth the wait, but I'd manage expectations on timing. " (*Curated Review*)

" This has been my go-to spot for authentic Szechuan food since forever! The mix of spices and flavors in their dishes keeps me returning. My favorite is the cumin lamb, paired with perfect amount of spice. A must-try if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently hosted a dinner here with friends and everyone was impressed with the food. The portions were large enough to share, and the flavors were spot on! But the service felt rushed due to the busy environment. Nonetheless, I will definitely return for more of their authentic dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fan of Szechuan cuisine? Don't miss this restaurant! I enjoyed every dish I tried, particularly their fish with Szechuan peppercorns. Everything was seasoned well and made with fresh ingredients. Even if the prices are slightly on the higher side, it’s worth it for authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Szechuan Chef is my favorite go-to place for spicy food cravings! Their Chongqing chicken is the best! I had a great dining experience, and the environment feels very welcoming. Servers were attentive and quick to take our orders. " (*Curated Review*)
