The guy who took my take away order got it wrong. When I told him , he got angry and insisted I had asked for the wrong dish. Very rude and also patronising. I will not be going back there.Parking: Some free parking

We came here as a family to have an evening meal. We booked a table at 8pm, and had to wait on arrival to sit as we were the second sitting. It was 8.35pm before they took our food order. They did try to keep things moving but it was a late finish.We ordered the mixed set meal and the food kept coming. We don?t live locally and I thought it was quite good value for the quantity of food. The food was not always hot as it came out, and generally was quite sweet.The staff tried very hard and were very friendly.

Food was good, cashier had no banter and looked like he didn't want to be

Overall happy with the food, service and atmosphere.Parking: Limited free street parking, which gets filled pretty quickly. Not unexpected for a town centre location

We hadn?t been to the Szchuan for sometime but was really looking forward to it. I think the chef may have changed as it was good but not fantastic as normal.

This restaurant can't get enough praise for their food and atmosphere . Every dish was cooked fresh and the tastes were amazing. The restaurant is clean and tidy with lots of space around the tables so you don't feel crammed in. The waiters are all kind and make your custom feel valued. Also, there is no service charge ! I have been twice and will return soon. ?

Our first visit to this fine establishment. After entering Thatcham from Newbury concerned we had somehow taken a wrong turn into Gaza from Israel we located the restaurant. It was super busy, a good sign, but we were politely received despite our lack of booking. We had mixed, Aromatic Duck and then our mains. Everything was delicious and the arrival of the food nicely spaced and not rushed. All the staff were attentive and the atmosphere was vibrant, kicking for a Saturday night. Not a place for romantics so much but if you?re after a bit of a bubble and enjoy people watching whilst having your nosh it?s the place for you. Escaping Thatcham at turn out time was interesting but it won?t put us off returning. A special mention goes out for the owners Barnet. Yeh baby.

Booked for double birthday, party of 7, nice big table and plentiful prawn crackers before we ordered. Super friendly staff, one in particular (presume owner) was so cheerful and made sure everyone was having a good time. We went for a set menu, blimey, so much food! Starter selection was good, although not keen on the crispy basket things, not my taste. Duck was good, pancakes a plenty so didn?t run out. Nice breaks between courses as well so you could let the previous one go down before the next. Main dishes were great, the Thai curry was fantastic as were the king prawns. So much food there was enough left to box up for the teenagers dinner the following day. Meal was finished off with an ice cream with umbrellas and candles for the birthday people, and everyone in the restaurant was encouraged to sing along (courtesy of the owner!). Embarrassing? Maybe if it had just been us celebrating but it seemed every table in that night had a birthday so it was sung at least 5 times, all good fun!

We used to go to the Schezwan a fair bit but haven?t been for a while. Last night we decided to have a take away and was ultimately left disappointed. The prices seem to have increased a fair bit, but portions have pretty much halved. The food we received was absolutely doused in oil, so much so that we couldn?t eat most of it (curry, satay, black bean) we didn?t even get a complimentary bag of prawn crackers or bottle of drink like we used to after spending near on £70. Unfortunately have been put off by the place now and has gone right down hill. Will not be back.

Wow! Haven't been here for years but it did not disappoint! Fabulous food and the staff were brilliant and very helpful! Can't recommend this place enough!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a step into the restaurant so the staff made a ramp so I could get in...absolutely brilliant!

Was saying at a local Travelodge over the weekend having travelled down from Scotland. Read the reviews and thought it sounded tasty - very disappointed - curry sauce thick and gloopy - chicken chow mein was tasteless - prawn crackers tasted stale - not what I expected at all from reading the reviews - it was Takeout not sitting in restaurant!
