Szechaun Express Restaurant in Thatcham

Reviews

1. Benjamin Pattison ★★☆☆☆

   This Chinese was once great but of now terrible! Started with spare ribs which were really good. The main was sweat and sour which tasted like vinegar, battered prawns which tasted like banana oddly (guess it’s the batter). And egg fried rice which was almost glow in the dark orange in colour. Also the man at the reception is very grumpy ! ☺️ Sorry but I won’t go back now.

   Hands down this place does the best chilli beef in the world. It’s unreal! When ordering chilli beef at other restaurants or takeaways.. it pisses me off because everywhere sucks compared to Szechwan express. I have come to the conclusion it’s pretty much pointless due to the fact that Szechwan express have set the standard way to high. The other food is also very good but to be fair I just mix everything with chilli beef and I always ask for extra chilli beef sauce. Also the chicken satay, bbq ribs, smoked chicken, salt and pepper chicken and the chicken balls are 10 out of 10! But trust me.. Definitely try the chilli beef

   Awful. Everything was soggy. Spent Christmas Eve looking forward to it and very disappointed with it all. Nothing good to say about it other than it was disgusting

   Set Meal, too much sugar on Crispy seaweed and very dry ribs, far too much uncooked onion, other than it was ok and you get plenty

   You can cook better at home, the rice was yellow full of oil and tasted nothing. I don't normally write bad reviews but to people who want a treat do not waste your money here. Cooked quickly tho

   Hot sweet and sour sauce instead of szechaun sauce. The dish is 90% raw onions and paprika, the smell of onion is overwhelming. Ordered rice on a side but none was given. Crispy beef is not crispy, rather sticky and hard. Came here on a friends recommendation, sadly won't be returning:(

   Delicious. I loved the crispy chilli beef - huge crispy bites of joy as far as I'm concerned. I loved every mouthful as did my friends. And there was enough for one more portion the next day. Wish I lived a bit closer.

   This is the best Chinese take-away I know in the area. I live about 11miles away, but I am quite prepared to drive here for an excellent meal. Service is courteous and quick, and you can watch your food being cooked through the glass partition, which shows the beautifully clean kitchen area. Apart from the excellent dishes on offer, you can order from the superb restaurant next door, which however may take a little longer as it is cooked there. I have been coming here for years, and can truthfully say that I have never been disappointed! Prices increased recently, but still good value.
