Very nice service. The food was hot, my sesame chicken was very good. Random detail but my chicken was cut in small pieces which is how I like it. The pork fried rice unfortunately was a little bland. The Chinese pizza is delicious. Overall, I enjoyed it.
Don't listen to these reviewers with one star. The portions are small during the all-you-can-eat because #1 its lunch time #2 you can order as much as you want and #3 they don't want people wasting. When I go with my husband we order so much food and never were charged extra, but then again, we don't waste food. Anyway, their food is DELICIOUS. Their dinner food is slightly different than the all-you-can eat and the portions are much bigger at dinner- but for 6.95 per person - you CANNOT beat it. If you are going for the all-you-can-eat, try two different entrees because the entrees are about half size. This is the best Chinese restaurant in the Northeast. Listen to me: I am a Chinese food weirdo! I travel an hour to eat Chinese food in south Philly and was looking so so hard for a place on the same level. I am telling you this place is good. It is clean, the staff is so so friendly, and the food is great.
The food is hot, fresh and delicious. The servers are very friendly and attentive. Last Night I ate there, I drink from my water glass 12 to 15 times, and every time I reached for it it was full again. My whole family loves it there, and my daughter even goes there with her friends. When you eat from the buffet, you order from a menu and they just keep bringing it out all of it cooked fresh to order. We share around the table, i've tasted almost the entire menu, and I have yet to taste anything that I didn't like. I hope they are a big success. They really know how to treat a guest.
The food here is really good. I am a fan of the "all you can eat" option in which you can order from a large list of food and they will bring out little sampler sized amounts of the food you choose from. The amount of times you order is limitless as long as no food is wasted. I've been here a couple of times and during the most recent time the service was a little slow, but that is unusual for this place.
This is an overall great place. Really nice and friendly staff. Food is very tasty and well prepared. They are very accommodating if you have any special requests for your food as well. Their make shift all you can eat "buffet" is also a good deal.
I waited to experience Szechuan East a few times before I rated it after reading older reviews. I was told by the staff that it is new owners in the last year. I am happy with the food and service after eating in 3x and take out 2x. Yes the decor needs upgrading but I really enjoy the $6.50 "Dim Sum" style all you can eat. The vegetable dishes I had are fresh and not overcooked and the meat dishes tasted great. The young ladies working there have all been friendly as well. For these reasons I am rating Szechuan East as a good place to eat.
One of the best Chinese places in the Northeast the all you can eat lunch special for 6:50 is usually the best deal. highly recommend.
Update: This place no longer exists. Out of Business.
The all you can eat buffet is great, although I wish they didn't stop it at 4pm. I come here for the buffet as often as I can but most of the time can not make it before 4 pm. I do not order from the regular takeout menu because I prefer other chinese food if I am paying the regular prices rather than the buffet price of $6.95. I am a regular customer and they treat me right every time I walk in. Please try the dumplings if you are there for the buffet.
Great place to have a LOT of food and pay a little! Everyday there is a cooked-to-order all you can eat buffet for less than $7 per person. It's served in small plates so you can sample so many different choices. One of my all-time favorite Chinese food restaurants.
They deliver stellar customer service at this Chinese restaurant. The atmosphere here is definitely that of quitetude and tranquility. When my friends and myself dined here on 11/05/19 there wasn't too many people which is a great thing ,and the food we ordered was cooked to perfectionas well as very delicious. The ice cream and drinks were also exceptional although they could haved had a more variegated selection of those particular menu items . They even had green tea that we poured in cups to drink with our meal . I would definitely highly recommend coming to Szechuan East Restaurant to dine at .I can guarantee that I will be back to eat here again in the future .😋👍
New owners in 2019 and the food has definitely improved from what we got last time. This has been our goto place for chinese takeout over the years and looks like its gonna stay that way. Only caveat is to check your order with the price to make sure everything is as you expext. They don't alert you that what your ordered is slightly different than whats on the menu and your order costs 2$ more, even minor variations that you don't really care for.
I love this restaurant. Friendly staff, food is excellent and they have an all u can eat from 11a - 4p everyday. Not a typical buffet though, food is made freshen the kitchen as you order it.
