Szechwan Express — Restaurant in Taylorsville

Easily the best Chinese food I've had. Their prices are fantastic for the portion size and they are extremely quick with making the food fresh. Their delivery is almost always very fast and the same guy delivers it each time. He is literally the sweetest guy you will meet without actually speaking to you. I believe the restaurant is family owned which is really nice. The size of the actual dinning space is fairly small, but cozy, so it's best to do take out or delivery. If it's just 2 or 3 people you should be good to eat in. Almost every item on their menu has a alternative meat counterpart, which is great because everyone can get a meat that they like. I basically have only tried their chicken dishes because chicken is my favorite meat.

-I love their Sweet & Sour Chicken which has chunks of cooked onion, bell pepper and pineapple in it.

-Their Cashew Chicken is super flavorful and the best thing to order if you prefer salty over sweet. It has a lot of extra sauce in it which you can pour over the plain white rice and it makes the overall meal more filling.

-Their Chicken Pon Pon is excellent, but costs a little more than the other dishes and I'm not sure why.

-The Lemon Chicken is easily the best lemon chicken I've ever had and also comes with extra sauce at the bottom of the container which I put with my rice also.

-Their Chicken Moo Goo Gai Pan is very savory and honestly reminds me more of soup.

-Their Sesame Chicken is pretty good, but there are these little noodles at the bottom of the container that have an interesting texture and that soak up the extra sauce.

-Both the Chicken with Broccoli and the Chicken with Peapods are very tasty, but I prefer the Cashew Chicken.

-The Orange Chicken is different than any other orange chicken I've had before because it is shaped differently and thus it cooks differently. It is still tasty, but it's not my favorite dish of their's.

-Their Chicken Lo Mein is the second best lo mein ever had and it is ordered with every meal.

-The Chicken fried rice is a must if you don't like plain white rice.

-Recently tried their Egg Rolls for the first time and they are very scrumptious.

-The Fried Wontons are very plain. They are essentially a fried chip you dip into a sauce. They still taste okay, but the Cream Cheese Wontons are far better.

-With every dish you order you get a good size portion of white rice and because we get so much extra white rice we haven't ordered the chicken fried rice in a while just to save a little extra. The sauces from every dish really...

If I could give 5 stars for service, I absolutely would. They were such nice people and were very friendly, but unfortunately, the friendliness can't make up for the lack of quality.

I'm not sure if this is a Utah thing or if it was simply their ideas, but some things were too different for my liking. The ham fried rice was okay. I'm used to egg fried rice, so it was a little different eating ham fried rice. It also was missing a little bit of flavor too. It just seemed like boring rice really.

We ordered a combo which came with 2 cream cheese Rangoon. Those were the spotlight of the meal. The egg rolls were not pork egg rolls. They were vegetable spring rolls and had weird water inside which made them really not taste good. I was really looking forward to those nice greasy fried egg rolls with cabbage and pork, but alas. The won Ton soup is less than stellar. It was packed full of vegetables which seemed good, but again, it had no flavor. It tastes like cabbage water. The worst of all was the won tons themselves. They were soggy chicken dumplings. They were not made of the typical won Ton wrappers, but more like bao bun dough and the meat inside was soggy flavorless chicken.

The kung Pao chicken was really the only thing we ate aside from the crab Rangoon. They were heavy on the peanuts and veggies and it had a good sauce to meat ratio.

Outside of that, I really can't recommend going to this place at all. Which I hate because they really were so friendly and made me think this food was going to be sooo good. I don't think Utah knows Chinese...

This is probably the best Chinese place I've been too. I'd rate this a high 4.6/5 ... my only grievance is that they use the pre-battered chick pieces ... they literally make all of the sauces... I ordered Gen. Tso chicken, sweet and sour, orange, and lemon... the sauces were really good ... sweet and sour sauce might be premade...but for sure all of the other sauces are hand made...when we ordered the family stopped eating their dinner and everyone contributed to making the meals...this place could easily be better if they made their own chicken rather than the pre-made pre battered pieces... I do recommend this place and hope that they will change their process for the chicken to be like the orange chicken...they could easily get to 5/5 and be busy non stop ... I spent $74 on 3 adult meals ($16 ea) and 2 combos ($10 ea) ... they have places for people to sit and eat...but those accommodations are not the best...no soda fountain...no water... and I'd prefer to sit down and eat it while it's fresh...still better than 90% of other Chinese...
