Hometown Memory Szechuan Cuisine — Restaurant in Town of De Witt

Food was excellent! Keep in mind that this is a very authentic Chinese restaurant. The staff, for the most part, does not speak English. My wife is Chinese and we travel over an hour to go there for authentic food.

Review was almost dropped from 4 stars to 1. We went there a few months ago and we ordered our food and sat down. When the food came out the dish I had ordered was wrong...completely the wrong dish. The chef actually argued with my mother-in-law that the order was correct and that I ordered the wrong thing. It ended there but another chef overheard and made the correct dish and brought it out to us. The chef who argued with my mother-in-law was visibly upset but overall the restaurant came through in the end. This was not a situation where the two dishes could be mistaken, one was a sort of chicken and peanut dish and the other was like a seafood...

Update 2024: the food is as good as ever, and the new waiter speaks perfectly good English. There is a large picture menu to help you decide what to order. You should go!

Till we The best and most authentic szechuan food between NYC and Buffalo's 'Home Taste.' Probably even better than home taste. As with any restaurant seeking to replicate the experience of dining in China, the service and atmosphere are not prioritized - the food is. Wow, was the food good. Mala dry pot, sliced fish in chili oil, hot and spicy shrimps all on point. If your idea of Chinese food is general cho's chicken on a white tablecloth with effusive service in English, you may not like this place. Myself, I will return whenever I'm anywhere close...

Can't overstate how extremely good this place is. The place is hard to find. When you get inside it's packed with Chinese people and the husband and wife team who run the place don't speak English, so I relied on menu pointing, pantomime, and other patrons translating here and there. All those things are how you know a place is going to be good, and omg this food is AMAZING. I was so sad when I was full because I didn't want to stop eating, the food is that good. Really captures the authentic szechuan flavor profile without killing you with spiciness. Please go here, treat...
