" My friends and I went to Szechuan House last weekend for dinner. The ambience is great - modern yet comfortable. We ordered a variety of dishes including their famous spicy crispy chicken and dumplings. Most of the dishes were good, though a couple felt a bit greasy. The service was prompt, but with minor issues during the peak when the restaurant was quite busy. Overall, I would still recommend it for the authenticity! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family loves Szechuan House! Each time we've visited, we've enjoyed the great service and delicious food. The spicy lamb dish was incredible; flavorful and tender. I do wish the food portions were a bit bigger for the price, but the quality more than compensates. The restaurant tends to get busy, so I'd recommend going during off-peak hours if you're looking to avoid a wait. Will be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, Szechuan House surpassed all my expectations for a Chinese restaurant! Their mapo tofu was an explosion of flavor and the rice was fluffy and well-cooked. The atmosphere was vibrant, with beautiful decor and a comfortable setting. The waitstaff were friendly and knowledgeable, making great recommendations. This is definitely my new go-to spot in Iowa City. " (*Curated Review*)

" The flavors at Szechuan House were delightful and truly authentic! I loved trying their unique dishes like the dry pot chicken. The waitstaff was extremely helpful in guiding my choices and ensuring everything was perfect. The only downside we experienced was the noise level as it fills up quickly. However, the food quality makes it easily overshadow any negatives. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had such a great meal at Szechuan House! The flavors were on point, and everything we ordered was superb. I loved how authentic everything tasted but thought the portions could have been a bit larger. The waitstaff was attentive, making sure our drinks were topped off. I can't wait to return and delve deeper into their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" We came to Szechuan House for dinner last week and it was a fantastic choice! The food was incredibly flavorful, especially the lamb dish - it was spicy and authentic, true to what you'd expect from a traditional Szechuan meal. The service was very attentive, even during dinner rush, and the atmosphere was lively yet cozy. Overall, a delightful experience that we can't wait to repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a decent meal at Szechuan House. Though they promote authenticity, I found the flavors to be slightly toned down from what I was expecting based on some reviews I read. However, the service was warm and the environment was pleasant. I might give it another shot with different dishes in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
