Golden Szechaun Restaurant - Saanich

They offer good typical Sichuan-style Chinese foodNothing extraordinary.

Small restaurant causing a line up most of the time.

The food here is simple and delicious comfort food.

This is a bright clean restaurant. Prices vary from very high to moderate and the menus has a vast selection of dishes. I quite enjoyed the stir fried tofu and greens along with a bowl of rice. The sauce was mild and added a very nice subtle flavour to the dish. Service was good.

I walked into this restaurant and was asked what kind of tea I would like, so I told the waiter the name of the tea. I was then handed a menu and as I flipped I found that a pot of tea was between $6 to $7. I was thinking may be it was only for certain specialty tea. So I asked the waiter when he dropped off the pot of tea and he confirmed that yes it's $7. I dropped my jaw. Some Chinese dim sum restaurants charge $1 to $2 per person for tea but for this "special" restaurant they charge per pot. If you come with a big group that's probably ok. If you come by yourself just for a $10 lunch and paying $7 for tea its absurd! The waiter said even for dinner they also charge the same amount for the tea. I am 99% sure none of other Chinese restaurants charge for tea for dinner. Well I was told to bring my own tea or just ask for water next time. But this tea charge was not disclosed to me when I sat down. It's a rip off to me. Next time? No next time. There are too many restaurant options in Richmond.Food quality - fried noodles were too greasy but the taste was good and noodles were quite chewy, The pork with soup small steam buns had very thick skin that I didn't eat the skin.
