" I came to Tasty Szechuan on a recommendation from a friend, and I was not disappointed! The dry fried ribs lived up to the hype. They were crispy, flavorful, and had just the right amount of spice. I also tried the Mongolian beef, which was also quite good, though I found it slightly salty for my taste. The restaurant is quite casual, and there was a bit of a wait during the lunch rush. However, the food was definitely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the worst experience at Tasty Szechuan last night. The ribs were dry and the service was abysmal. I waited over half an hour for my food, and when it finally arrived, it was not what I ordered. The staff seemed disorganized, and communication was poor. The environment felt uninviting and could really use some cleaning up. This spot used to be a favorite of mine, but I can't see myself returning after this. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had the dry fried ribs again, and wow, they are still the best. I also tried their house special fried rice, and it didn't quite match the ribs but was decent. The restaurant is usually busy, which is a good sign, but it can feel a bit cramped inside. The service is hit or miss; my last visit, the staff was very nice, but they did mess up my order slightly. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place if you're a rib lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for the best dry fried ribs in the area, look no further! I've been a loyal customer for years and make it a point to stop by whenever I'm in town. The flavors are authentic, and they really know how to cook the pork to perfection. Just remember to ask for extra chili peppers for that added kick! The only downside is the atmosphere - it's very casual and could use some sprucing up, but it’s worth it for the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the reputation of Tasty Szechuan for ribs attracts a lot of people, I personally found the experience underwhelming. The ribs were average and the flavors were lacking, leaving me wanting more. The environment felt uninspired and the decor could use an update. Service was okay but didn’t really stand out. I might give them another chance, but so far, not impressed. " (*Curated Review*)
