Lao Sze Chuan 老四川 20 Paseo Drive, North Bethesda, MD 20852

"This was a beautifully decorated restaurant that could have put more thought into menu composition. Several of our lunch choices were too sweet even compared to American Chinese takeout places that I order from or eat at. Service was decent but you have better options in the area."

"I have ordered take out from here in the past and recently ate in at the restaurant in a large group. When ordering take out I thought the food was good, but overpriced. However, when eating in the restaurant, I found the service, presentation of the food and environment of the restaurant to all be excellent, certainly many levels above your average Chinese restaurant. This is probably why the food costs more. So I would only recommend this place if eating in as you will not get your money's worth of what the restaurant has to offer from takeout. My favorite dishes were the never forget chicken, four flavorful cold dish platter, dry fried shredded beef and sweet and sour Mandarin fish."

"The interior is beautiful but the food was not as tasty as it was presented. We had Peking duck and the flavor wasn’t even close to wow. The presentation was nice and the atmosphere nice. The dimsum was good. The cucumber salad was also good. It seems like a fancy place to spend money and have ok quality food."

"The environment as soon as you walk in is stunning. Big tall ceilings, large round tables for many guests, big bar area. Everything felt luxurious from the gold on the chopsticks to the restaurant name on the plates. I read mixed reviews about the drinks but they seem to have fixed it. Previously you would have to get nice cocktails from walking up to the bar, but now they give you a drink menu to order directly from your table. You can see the drink menu in the pictures of my review! The drinks are all very strong! The food is all very flavorful and fancy. I would 100% recommend to others and am already planning my next visit here because the large menu has me already wanting more"

"Delicious! A little bit pricey but the portions are generous and the food is great. The ambiance is also very nice. I recommend coming with multiple people to try as many of the dishes as possible."
