I have been there 2 times. Service has been very poor both times. The second time, two parties who were seated got up and left because no servers came back to them. We had to hunt someone down to get our chec to pay it. The food was good but not exceptional, and there were delays between portions of the meal being delivered, with my dish arriving last, approximately 10 minutes after the last of the other dishes.

Food is decent, as long as you get what ordered and it comes in a reasonable amount of time. Service is notably bad. Not poor, bad.

Wow, this food seriously exceeded my expectations. I had the Szechuan shrimp entree and the Takoyaki appetizer. The Szechuan is a cut above any other Chinese restaurants in town, owing to the higher-grade ingredients and perfect execution. First time trying takoyaki and I was really impressed - really a delicacy. If you haven't tried this place, disregard the dated, mixed reviews, and stop by!

Serving size was huge! I will say service was a bit slow for the amount of customers. Food was pretty good. I would go back.

Szechuan House has been a family favorite of ours for years. We've had good experiences both dining in and getting take out. We graviate to the more authentic Chinese dishes like lamb with cummin, dan dan noodles, and vermicelli noodles with curry. The "American" Chinese dishes like sesame chicken are also quite tasty. While Szechaun House is not the cheapest compared to others, it is the best-tasting Chinese food in Iowa City area by far.Parking: We always park in the Iowa City library ramp and walk a block to the restaurant.

Would not recommend ordering out from this restaurant. Food took over an hour to be ready. I would just say customer service is not a strong suit at this restaurant.

Are you people kidding?! This was hands down, by far, without a doubt, no questions asked the most disgusting Chinese food I've ever had in my life. It was foul tasting and rank smelling and the texture and the flavor was horrific. Where have you people been eating?! We told them it was inedible and didn't eat any of the food but they still charged us. Absolutely disgusting food. Avoid at all costs this place is gnarly. Looking back at good reviews they seem to be written by staff or family based on grammar and verbiage. Stay away! Oh did I mention the absolute non existent service? This place has nothing going for it. It's a nightmare!

Authentic Chinese food — probably one of the best I’ve had in the states. Comparable to food overseas. Highly recommend, will return when I’m in town again.Please don’t leave a bad review complaining if you’re ordering from the back page in the “American Chinese dishes” section?Pickled fish, spicy and sour potato shreds, scallion chicken, lettuce, winter melon and pork ribs soup
