Old Szechuan Restaurant 老川味 - Edmonton, Alberta

Authentic Chinese food not Americanized, very friendly staff, no complaints! Best items on menu for me is the chili dumplings I prefer it over the chili wonton appetizers, the spicy fish (the one with red pepper flakes) very spicy and can feed 2 people!

I came to Old Szechuan Restaurant after all the other Szechuan places closed down in Edmonton. They offer Szechuan-style food where you get the spicy tingly numbness feeling from the peppercorn. However, their food is not very authentic good value nor a good value (portion vs price), so I’d give ... them 5/10. Read more

OH MY GOODNESS. I almost hate to post a review because I want to keep this place all to myself. The food was so good. I have been craving Mapo Tofu for a while. Honestly, I am always craving it. I was not disappointed; it was terrific. We had various ... things, including their cucumber salad, yam noodles and wonton in chilli oil, and we thought there would be leftovers. There was not. If I thought I could have licked the plates and got away with it, I would have. This is absolutely our favourite place, and I can not wait to go back. What a wonderful meal and a great place to eat.

Really good food - one of the best fish dishes I’ve had. Highly recommend this place.

This place was a journey. I had chosen them for some DanDan noodles I had been craving for weeks. The atmosphere could be considered a little “tacky” but I choose to call it “authentic”. The staff seemed surprised to get a late night table and one could argue seemed dubious ... in my ability to effectively use chopsticks, or handle any spice. When she laughed at my order and told me “it is very spicy, your lips will go numb” and I nodded acceptingly, she seemed unsure. However when the noodles came and I gobbled them up she was delighted I had enjoyed them. After clearing up the bill, she also sent me away with a gifted ice cream bar that put a huge smile on my face. Definitely recommend. Read more
