Szechuan - Santa Barbara

I gave only 3 stars because they have at least 2 dishes that we can usually rely on- the Wor wonton soup and Szechuan shrimp. Unfortunately this time we ordered the Honey Walnut Shrimp and the Fried Rice. The Honey walnut shrimp sauce is what ruined the dish .. the consistency was of a thick mayo/condensed milk based sauce, it was very unbalanced, gooey, thick, and very distasteful in texture and flavor and did not resemble honey flavor in the least. Sad to say but Panda Express makes their Honey Walnut Shrimp way better. I really expected this dish to be better than the fast food version... the rice was very oily. We were really disappointed and feel sad to write this but it was bad enough to have to say something. I doubt if we will be back : sorry for the review but just being honest about our experience.

We ordered 2 servings of Beef Chow Mein for pickup today for dinner. Got home and started eating. Tasted something plastic-y, thought it was just residue off the containers or something. Wrong, the burnt plastic flavor continued to mount and we had to stop eating, leaving most of it uneaten. I am not sure how this is acceptable. Whoever cooked tonight: do some investigation into how something in the ingredients of beef chow mein got contaminated by plastic. Cooking in an unwashed new wok? Burnt oil? Hot ingredients kept in unsuitable plastic for too long? Please figure it out because it was unacceptable, not to mention at the base level it was otherwise flavorless. My stomach does not feel good and I think I might end up sick.

From out of town and wanted chinese. The prices made me think this would be high quality authentic chinese food. It's just your average take-out with 3x the price. If you go in expecting this, then you'll be fine.

Yesterday my husband and I ordered Kung Pao Chicken, first of all they didn't put enough meat as they used to plus I found a hair on it. I feel so disappointed

Every time I 've ever eaten in or ordered to go, I 've been very pleased. Restaurant is clean spacious despite it 's small location. Food is delicious, cooked to order and reasonably priced. They also provide home delivery which is less expensive then using delivery app service. I 've never hesitated recommending this restaurant to local or out-of-town friends.
