Chinese Food At Its Best

Szechuan 132 continues to win the Best Chinese Food in Wilmington award year after year for good reason. Located in the University Landing Mall on South College Road, items on the menu are skillfully prepared using fresh, flavorful ingredients. Food also is quite moderately priced, especially for its quality.

All of the soups are delicious and the hot & sour soup is great – it always tastes as if it was made a nanosecond before it arrives piping hot at your table. The menu changes frequently, and some of the entrees that are memorable are coconut shrimp, chicken with cashews and orange beef. In a restaurant with Szechuan in its name of course there are plenty of spicy dishes on the menu, but there also are several entrees that are prepared in the Cantonese or Mandarin style for those who don’t enjoy spicy food.

Szechuan 132 offers brown rice in addition to steamed white rice and fried rice. They also have a good selection of tea, including flavorful chai teas. The friendly and efficient staff provides professional service and the owner is on site most all the time. Szechuan 132 has a full bar with ABC permits and offers a good selection of beer, wine and sake too. They also offer efficient take out service.
