Szechuan House reopening soon

UPDATE 10/22: New location across from Timonium Fairgrounds now in construction opens in Fall 2022. Bigger, better, more cool things like a fast casual pickup side, outdoor tables, deluxe sushi bar. There's a FB group Friends of Szechuan House with all the up to date developments, pictures, videos. The old location at York/Seminary review: Zero-BS, super tasty stripmall Asian restaurant, ranging from what they think suburbanites want to what they know Asian customers want. Long-time efficient staff. This is the best Chinese restaurant in Baltimore. Chinese and Taiwanese families come from far away for the Peking duck, which is high-quality Amish duck from Lancaster. If adventurous, pass the American Chinese items for the "Countryside Taste" dishes. Uncommon appetizers like paper-wrapped chicken (soy-sauce wings in foil), scallion pancake and the house-made dumplings are good. The staff picks and cleans bushels of fresh snow pea pods and string beans every afternoon so get Szechuan stri

Peking Duck has nice flavor. Good plum sauce, but most of the fat had to be carved away by us. Service was great and the vegetables, especially the sweet potato tips were delicious.

Since we're not within the delivery area and it's tucked away in the shopping center, I'd never heard of nor seen this business until the article saying it was going to close after 28yrs in business. I read the reviews and decided I had to try it. It did not disappoint...but you know what DOES disappoint, HILL MANAGEMENT CO for not renewing their lease. We got our food to go and drove home (20 minutes) and it was still hot. One of the best egg rolls and hands down the best Hot & Sour soup around here. We got the Crispy Sesame Shrimp and even though it was hot, as to be expected the shrimp got a little less crispy in transit...but a quick zap in our own oven and they were PERFECT. So sad I will now miss this place....but we plan to get takeout a few more times before the legacy ends.
