So good I even thought the mapo doufu might turn out to be decent. It wasn't, of course. But a Sichuan place has to meet a pretty high standard before I even consider trying to order mapou doufu.

i have to say that the food at Szechuan Chef is pretty good--very tasty and great portion for price. however, i belive that the dining-out is an experience to be enjoyed not only in the sense of getting great food but also in the service. i give poor review due to the lack of service. the understaffed wait staff treat customers poorly. many times i had to wave down the wait staff multiple times before i got their attention. a stern "will be back" or "okay" was the best acknowledgement from them as they quickly passed by the table. even then, i waited and waited for the service. i have been at Szechuan Chef three times and actually had a good experience the first time. both the service and food were good, and that is why i went back. but the second visit was so horrible (ignoring; getting mad) that i was ready to walk out in the middle of the meal had my friends not pled me. i went back to this restaurant one more time to see if the second visit was just an isolated incident. unfortunately, the service was still bad and made me feel unwanted. even during the first visit, i witnessed a customer complaining to one of the wait staff--he was yelling so loud that i was sure that even the kitchen staff heard him. i wonder if they think poor service is not a big deal as long as the food is good... btw, the seattle magazine should review this restaurant again because this restaurant does not present the caliber of excellence to be noted as one of the "best restaurants" of the year.

My friends like to go there for the hot pot. I like to go there to order great tasting Szechuan dishes. I am not a Szechuanese so I can't speak on its authenticity. But I am a Taiwanese so I think I know a few things on the overall Chinese cuisine. Believe it when I say it, this is one of the best Chinese restaurant in the Seattle metropolitan area!
