Szechuan Spice Restaurant

"I tried this place out for the first time today. I got the Beef Pan Fried Pao, Orange Chicken, and Sesame Chicken to go. The restaurant was nice, it smelled great, and the staff was friendly. The Beef Pan Pao was soft with only a subtle taste of onion. I took a bite of the orange chicken, and I could not taste hardly anything but chicken - it was the same with the Sesame Chicken. In fact, I ate some of the orange peel, broccoli, and peppers the dishes came with just to make sure my taste buds were firing which tasted great as expected. When I went back to the chicken, it lacked so much flavor: both chicken dishes were as bland as the rice it came with. I don't plan on returning, but it was worth a try."

"Quick service. Pleasant atmosphere. Food was good and warm hot. Ample size serving for 2 people. Nice decor. Like the restaurant logo projected on the floor at the entrance. 2nd time around here and will keep visiting often."

"I really like the food at this restaurant. I’ve eaten here and gotten takeout several times. Szechuan Spice is in my top two Szechuan style restaurants in the Houston area. Looking for a Szechuan restaurant close to home, I stumbled on Szechuan Spice. I’m so happy I did. The parking lot here seems to fill up quickly but there are usually a few spaces available. The ambiance inside is mostly quiet and very casual. The staff is polite and helpful whether I’m dining in or taking out. The first dish I ever tried here was the Cumin Lamb after being introduced to it by a friend. This is a fantastic, flavorful dish and while very spicy, it doesn’t overwhelm or take away from the savory flavors of the lamb or vegetables . The cumin flavor is excellent and blends perfectly with the other spices. Another spicy dish I recommend there is the Three Flavor Pepper Chicken. I wasn’t prepared for the flavor packed into this chicken! The crispy breading hiding the succulent, juicy chicken mixed with chili’s and peppercorns was amazing! The portion size is incredible as well. Not wanting to stop the spice journey, I’ve also indulged in several fish dishes. Boiled fish in Hot Sauce, Hot and Spicy Fish, Fish Jump Out of Water, Spicy Fish Fillet with Soft Tofu, Crispy Fish in Thai Chili. Holy Mackerel Batman!!! When it comes to fish, Szechuan Spice doesn’t miss! No jokes or riddles here. Cat Woman would love all the fishies here. I really cannot decide what my favorite dish is. Cumin Lamb and Hot and Spicy Fish might be my top two but narrowly so. You cannot go wrong with anything I’ve recommended so far. Egg rolls, Cheese Crab Puffs and Hot and Sour Soup are all good as well. You may not expect to find some of the best Szechuan food in the Houston area in Pearland but you would be pleasantly surprised to find out you could be missing out. Don’t miss out! If you have no reason to come to Pearland, you have one now. Check this place out asap!"

"Really enjoyed our visit here. Don’t know tye name of the dishes since our friend already preordered, but everything was delicious. The Peking duck usually comes with steam bun baos, but here they give you in-house rice base tortillas and honestly I like this option. Feels lighter hence you can eat more not feeling too guilty. The popcorn chicken in the basket was seasoned and fried nicely. The braised fish in the chili broth was awesome. And priced really well!!!Definitely recommend!!!"

"The food here is good. We had Egg rolls - light crispy but not too much flavor. The pocket stickers are like boiled dumplings with chicken inside. It was okay, but there was nothing to rave about Basil Chicken - Delicious, very big portion and seasoned well with the right balance of vegetables to complement the dish Cumin Lamb - A must try. It would have been better if it had been much spicier, but that's a personal preference. The lamb was tender and nice. It goes well with rice, so do try. Overall the food was good and we will be returning again. The portion sizes are absolutely huge, so be ready to eat and take a to go plate home. Great value for money."
