168 Szechuan Restaurant

"The salt and pepper chicken is very good. So is the combo fried rice. I have had food from there about twice a month for over the last two years. I was disappointed a couple of times. Once the S&P shrimp dish was totally BURNT. I had to throw half of it away. I only pulled out the next morning for lunch when I realized it, so they didn't compensate. But the food is a hit 9/10 times."

"Great food in a small corner, no dine in since COVID but the food is always so amazing. Def recommended!"

"This is the only place I LOVE getting food delivered from. The portions are great, and the food is delicious. I always go for their mapo tofu, boiled fish filet with spicy sauce, Indian curry shrimp fried rice, and cream cheese puffs. ♡"

"I just moved to Houston recently and 168 Szechuan is my go-to Chinese place! Their food is such great quality, taste amazing and so much food per order. I always have leftovers. They have really fast service as well. Definitely recommend."

"So... this place used to be called 168 Beijing and I remember the food being good and it’s been a while since I had it. I was on this side of town so I stopped to get an old favorite, or so I thought. I ordered a simple meal of beef with broccoli, the lunch portion. It also came with a small wonton soup and an egg roll. Pretty standard Chinese food order. I ate the soup and egg roll first because I knew I wouldn’t finish everything and thought of saving some for later. The soup was meh. The egg roll was an egg roll, nothing special. Then we get to the entree. It seemed a bit off, but I was starving so I dug in. The brown sauce was very jelly like and thick. Some pieces of meat were tough with burnt edges and a few areas were cold but I thought mixing everything up would make a difference. Boy did I think wrong. After my third bite, I finally put my finger on it. I was not eating freshly cooked Chinese food but rather Chinese food that had been prepared in bulk and then reheated. I asked the hostess could fresh food be prepared to which she replied, “The manager is not here so there’s nothing I can do. But I will try to go talk to the chef.” After she disappeared into the back for what seems to be maybe 30 seconds she returned and said, “Yea there’s nothing I can do. Sorry.” I quickly gathered my things and left everything on the table. I’m actually writing this review in my car so I know I’m mad. I typically give reviews a couple of days to get my thoughts straight but, nah. They are going to get this heat. If I could give them 0 stars I would. If you’re looking for quick Chinese food, keep looking. **Also I should have known something was up because nobody else was dining in. Let me remind you all this is LUNCH TIME!"
