Szechwan Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Evansville

Jimmy Gao's is not Jimmy Jeng's Szechwan. The food is mostly okay, but every now and then I get extremely dry fried rice.

Update 12/01/2018 Went back to Gao's again a week ago. Been there more than a few times over the past year and they were decent. Not like Jeng's but acceptable.

Beautiful presentation if you look at my shrimp plate you will see how everything is visually appealing and not just thrown on the plate. The building is old. I can remember seeing it at a minimum of 30 years ago but everything is clean and...

I had forgotten why I didn’t order here again. It’s been a few months, but I used Uber eats and quickly remembered once it arrived. The noodles are flavorless and soggy and honestly just taste like they were boiled in water and veggies. The cashew chicken was the same. Flavorless, but had a strong chickeny taste to it. Probably due to lack of seasoning. I soaked it in soy sauce. The cashew chicken was more onion, pepper and mushroom than anything. The egg rolls were the only thing I’d eat again. They were amazing. Not sure if it was the noodles or cashew chicken, but one of them left a lasting bad taste in my mouth to where I might...
