Szechuan Gourmet 川味坊 is a szechuan in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Philadelphia; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in Pennsylvania are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.
The business lists hours on 2 days of the week. Typical hours are 12–11 PM. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm.

Philadelphia is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Philadelphia follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Sesame chicken and general tso chicken were both really tasty. I've tried several Chinese restaurants since we moved here going to find somewhere decent (I'm a bit of a Chinese food snob and most places nearby are not too my standards) and this place meets my criteria. I will say, no they don't seem to have wonton soup, and they brought out cups for tea so I was expecting complimentary tea but they never brought any. TLDR: Food is good. No wonton soup, crispy noodles, or complimentary tea.

I was craving authentic Sichuan food that reminded me of my hometown, and this place came up as the closest option in my search. The photos looked amazing, so I decided to give it a try. Parking was a bit tight, but that’s understandable for Northeast Philly. I really enjoyed the dry pot fish I ordered. The glutinous rice cake was a pleasant surprise—I didn’t expect to find a dish from my childhood memories here. Both my husband and kids loved the food and are already asking to go back in the future.

Ever since the new Szechuan gourmet launched, everything’s leveled to an unbelievably authentic Szechuan food, highly appreciated by people coming from Szechuan. I personally visit this place regularly now, nothing that I ever ordered I would dislike. They are the only authentic Szechuan restaurant, I’m confident to say, among pretty much all eastern U.S. just simply looking at the way they process their ingredients and material, so descent! Now you feel no worry to order things like pork feet, pork kidney and liver, as they cleaned them quite nicely that you won’t smell or taste anything funny.

This restaurant has hole-in -the-wall vibes. It's in a slightly sketchy neighborhood, but in the inside feels like a different world. Parts are nicely decorated, but there's also Xmas trees for some reason. The food tastes very good and authentic. That being said, I asked for less spicy because I'm a weenie with spicy food, so I don't know how spicy their food gets. But they get the numbing flavor right. My favorite was the clear noodles with chili sauce. They were fresh, slightly spicy, sweet, squishy, chewy, and well balanced.

I can approve that the taste of Sichuan is very authentic here. The spicy and aroma definitely match up. I love this place, and the only reason why I dropped a star is due to the things that have sold out. Attempted to order a fish and a couple of items on the menu, but they were sold out. I recommend getting the tofu on the hot plate. I never had tofu like that before, and it didn't disappoint me. My other recommendation for this place is to look at the menu ahead of time and call in to reverse certain things like seafood, fish, or roasted meat/sausage so it wouldn't be sold out when you tried to order!
