"very good if they like authentic szechuan kitchen. ambiente: well, not much really. a kind of worn and shroff in the greatest dead and once alive john 's watertower. szechuan koch has replaced the friendly but boring shanghai noble house. I ate at snh quite often, this is a completely different place and I feel a real step up where its traditional menu serves, something in short supply in portland. <br/ <br/ service: friendly, very casual, limited speech and servicing, definitiw not highbrow.<br/ <br/ eat: eierblood soup is prefabricated in a large boiler, not to write home. where this place shines, is located in the top of its main dishes. <br/ hot spicy special hand grass noodles are thick, white and chewing, clear handmade and tasty. spicy, oily as someone would make home. fried rice is full of garnel, fish and tinted fish, not mumie, good quality. <br/ double delight mushroom bark- amazing, juicy mushrooms and much bark, they will not ask 'where 'the bark ' they don't chintz here, this is a rich and tasteful, but not spicy dish. this is the real deal, they better like cumin when they order this dish, its rich and heavy preparation.<br/ <br/ again if they want to hack suey, chow my, egg roll and a flower suppe, they are at the wrong place. if they want a real tase of szechuan, they go for it."
