168 Szechuan Restaurant in Houston

I always receive flyers from this restaurant on my door. I finally decided to try their menu. Not very satified. My orange chicken had more breading than chicken. The orange sauce was scorched with a burned taste. The hot wings was not hot and the sauce was unknown. I gave three stars because the delivery service and the fried cream puffs were good.

Ordered take out. Chicken was so dry it was inedible. Literally chewed on one bite for several minutes and could not break it down enough to safely swallow- worse than jerky! The whole dish was this way- I’m guessing it was cooked a week ago or more and reheated multiple times. And it wasn’t just me, my 15 y/o and 11 y/o couldn’t eat it either. I returned to the restaurant with the plate to show them how dry it was and explained it was impossible to chew. I asked for a refund or a different dish. They were not apologetic at all and refused both, saying they could only give me the same thing I originally ordered and would tell the chef not to cook it so long.

So I was referred to try this place, even thou the reviews were not so good we did. My wife's plate was the mushroom beef with zucchini and it looked really great but it was was pretty good. Very large portions. I on the other hand ordered the flat rice noodle with beef. For starters it had a overwhelming taste of bean sprouts and I like bean sprouts but this sprout was strong. As I got into the plate I noticed that they were really tight with the beef. All in all if you want a quick Asian meal that is def a twofer ( two for the price of one) go for it. Noodle plate was $9 and mushroom was $12. But if you want the real deal I suggest going to Lucky Dragon in China Town and save a few bucks.
