The Szechuan Restaurant

Great tasting, authentic food!

Best authentic Szechuan and few other Chinese cuisines - Food is not modified to Western taste; it is the most closely eating Chinese Food in China. Personally, my retrospective memory of going to this place a decade ago, and the menu was only written in Mandarin, and I was the only western eating there surrounded by far eastern patrons. The staff by then (usually international Chinese students) read you aloud in their best English and explain each choice. The owner, a kind Chinese man, used to have several restaurants in Loughborough, including the missed MeetAll, to serve a 5-star Chinese cuisine (ornamented food that was almost a shame to be eaten). Currently, the Szechuan is up to date with Chinese/English menus and delivery service. This is an excellent opportunity to try authentic Szechuan cuisine out of China. Great Hot-Pot choice or "à-la-carte" off the Szechuan menu. Sadly, not a place to retake my old mum, with a more conventional western taste. Although, they can accommodate similar westernised food versions. The only downside is the cash-only requirement, knowing this to keep prices more affordable. Get cash in advance, or you can get it whilst they prepare your food order. For a more traditional Chinese food, there are abundant good choices around Loughborough. Plenty of Chinese/Asian/Fusion restaurants has been established in this town for extensive years, which I also endorse. Covid-secure improvements at the entrance with hand-sanitiser and acrylic dividers between tables currently in place make a meal inside as safe as possible. Food maintained the quality and consistency of always.

We moved in Loughborough area in November and since we discovered this little gem is our to go when we feel like a cinese night. It Never disappointed us, portions are big and prices are very reasonable, when we do delivery, they are also very quick. Thank you 😊 we love all your dishes.

Only one waiter handling guests, delivery and phone, so service a bit chaotic, though friendly. Really good food. Szechuan - but actually serve a huge range of Chinese food. But they do have the equipment for hot-pot.
