Szechuan Dynasty

  My wife and I order from this restaurant on a (perhaps overly) regular basis. It's family owned and operated, inexpensive and fairly consistent in quality.  the bulk of their business is take-out and delivery, so the dining room is usually pretty empty.  Some may consider the service speed to be a little on the slow side, but I think that's a product of our hurried lifestyle.  I prefer to sit back, relax and enjoy one dish at a time. If you want it quick, order take-out, but if you want it at it's best, enjoy it in their quiet dining room and be patient.
  
  The lunch specials range from $5 to $6 and include soup and fried or steamed rice!
  
  Our favorites on the menu are the Crispy Duck (boneless, crispy half-duck atop plenty of veggies in a savory brown sauce), Moo Shu Pork (pork, cabbage and other veggies stir fried in a slightly sweet sauce, served with tortillas and plum sauce), Singapore Rice Noodles (slightly-spicy curry rice noodles with chicken, roast pork, shrimp & veggies), the Hunan Crispy Whole Fish (a whole fish, fried crispy and served with spicy hunan sauce) and our guilty-pleasure is the General Tso's Chicken (sweet/tangy/spicy fried chicken served with steamed broccoli).  
  
  Parking on Elmora (metered) can be tricky, so I recommend you park on one of the side streets (free) and walk an extra half a block.
  
  While there's really no such thing as truly authentic Chinese (and many people would run in fear if they ever found it) to be found in Elizabeth, Szechuan Dynasty will satisfy most people's cravings for their favorite take-out dishes.

  This is a small family-run pan-Asian restaurant with a little bit of everything.  I went on a not-so-busy Thursday evening for dinner.  Even with the restaurant mostly empty, service was slow and inefficient.
  
  The food quality is terrible and not worth even the low prices this restaurant has.  I noticed most of the business on this night was from take-out orders as opposed to patrons eating in the restaurant.
  
  The sushi is sub-par.  The only good thing about it is that the rice to filling ratio is good.
