Szechuan Cafe - Corvallis

This place is amazing. A little background about me so that this review can have credibility. I was raised in SoCal in the 626 area where about 90% of the county's people are Chinese. I grew up with amazing Szechaun, Taiwanese, Hong Kong, Cantonese and feast like Chinese seafood dinners. I have seen my parents fight every dim sum servers so that we can sit faster. I also know the stigma for Chinese restaurants and their bad service. None the less, that's what you NEED to endure when you go a great place. Because of the pandemic, I have not seen the dine in service but even if it was terrible, this review is based on the food and food only. The food here is just great. The food is not only great but it is one of the most authentic Asian/Chinese/Szechuan food in the area. The flavor is there and the spiciness is numbing. Here are my favorites. C01 Chongqing Diced Spicy Chicken C08 Tea Smoked Duck P09 Twice Cooked Pork S02 Shui Chu Fish S10 Szechuan Boiled Whole Fish V06 Stir Fried Eggplant w/ Hot Garlic Sauce N09 Yangzhou Fried Rice A06 Cold Pig Ear Please get out of your comfort zone of General Tso's Chicken and Mu Shu Pork and try something that will give you an experience of authentic and real Szechaun food.

It is the best Chinese restaurant in town, and the food reminds of my hometown. The food is REAL Chinese food!! Loved their mapo tofu and fish and Tiepan Chicken!! Hot pot is really good too.

This place is my number one site. Of all restaurants I know I prefere it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to this restaurant. everytime I feel like having a delicious lunch, this place comes first to my mind. superb and all sorts of food and a rich cuisine.well mannered staff, and great atmosphere. Not less important, the expence is decent. I praise this place with pleasure.

I spent 1 year in szechuan province. I appreciate the authenticity of this restaurant! Liberal use of mala spice makes this place special. Highly recommend the ma po tofu with pork and chongqing diced spicy chicken. If your looking for Americanized Chinese, this may not be the best place.

Very unique dining experience and super authentic meals, though I'll admit I'm not an expert on this type of cuisine, and only have limited general knowledge from traveling through Asia for a while. That said the meal was delicious, I tried the house chicken in chili paste which was incredibly flavorful and spicy! Loved eating all the bits of meat right off the bones where the flavor resides just hoping they get some duck and other items back in stock soon, so there selections expanded again
