Szechuan Chinese Restaurant

We just returned from dining at this restaurant and we loved it! It is located in a not-so-promising strip mall, but it is definitely worth stepping inside for a delicious meal. We ordered from the Chinese menu, not the Americanized one, and we were very impressed with the authentic textures and flavors. The wontons were exquisitely delicate, not doughy like the ones in so many local Chinese eateries. My husband ordered a shredded pork entree that he saw on someone elses' table, and it was very good. I asked the owner/mgr. for his recommendation, and out came a piping hot deliciously crunchy chicken with chiles dish. We also ordered fried rice, but afterwards we decided it really wasn't necessary...the food is so flavorful that white rice is a perfectly fine accompaniment. The service was friendly, fast, and efficient. We will definitely go back...we can't wait to try more dishes from their menu. Would certainly recommend this restaurant for people who like authentic spicy Szechuan cuisine.

Also called Szechuan Ace. It is the best Chinese food that I have ever tasted!!
We keep going back to the restaurant every summer when we visit NJ. The staff there now know us! The best thing is the boiled peanuts/bean sprouts as appetizers(you might have to ask for it-not all the tables get that appetizer-complimentary one). All the dishes we have had are excellent. The Wontons in spicy oil are a must. Ma po tofu, chengdu chicken, three cup chicken are all excellent. The shredded beef with green chilli is so good that I can fly from Ca for that:). They have recently added shredded chicken with green chillies and that too is excellent. Spinach with garlic is great too.
