Once again, Szechwan North didn't disappoint. We had a wonderful dinner with excellent service. We even had some entertainment- they must have hired someone new to deliver food to the tables. He kept trying to give the food the folks in the booth next to us ordered. We all had a good sense of humor about it, and ended up meeting some new people. It was a lot of fun.
Checked out another good Chinese place in Glenview. It didn't look like it would be much, another Chinese restaurant in a strip mall but it was better than the usual to be honest. Szechwan North has a menu of classics and is suitable for many tastes. Get it mild or hot or however one likes it. There's plenty if healthier options and the prices aren't bad for the big portions. A place looking like this from the outside may cause one to be skeptical, but it's what's on the inside that counts. In all honesty the inside isn't that impressive either. The impressive things include the food though. Big menu. There's a fairly okay amount of options for vegetarians. It's about $13 for an entree. Kind of high but these are big portions. Got us some of the tofu entrees. I got the Salt And Pepper Tofu. Certainly tasted like it had these seasonings in it. The tofu was very crispy, having a tater tots kind of texture. Got to say it's one of the better options around here for Chinese. It's open daily which is pretty rare for Chinese restaurants. The menu is full of spicy and even flaming hot options for both meat eaters and vegetarians.
