Long's Chinese - Calgary

My favourite Szechuan restaurantCrazy spicy! Love the numbing peppersThis is not for the weak spice eaters.

Since adopting a vegetarian diet; this has become one of my go to spotsThey have several stir-fry vegetable dishes that are to die for.

I have been reading about this place on a few of my favourite blogs and thought that today was a great time to go for it.

Insanely good!. Just amazed to have a place serving the real deal Szechuan food that doesn 't hold back the spice in a neighbourhood that 's rich with lots of great ethnic options but with horrible Chinese food. Diced chicken with peanuts (it 's called Kung Pao elsewhere), dan dan noodles, eggplant with garlic sauce, basically every bite I 've had here has been mesmerizing.<br/ <br/ Ignore the fake review from 'Max ' as there is NO FRIED RICE on the menu here aside from on one lunch combo- you 'd never have ordered it for a table because it 's not on the menu. I hate the shills but even more hate the one-review wonders who post lies slagging a new (at the time) restaurant that everybody in Calgary should be rushing to. <br/ <br/ This place is my top new restaurant for 2013- yes, it 's that good.

Dream come true. No more need to head up to Szechuan Restaurant on the TCH to get the real deal. Ridiculously hot, amazing value food. Get the lunch special- I tried the shredded pork with garlic sauce yesterday, owner told me this a specialty in her home town and it was heaven. Comes with rice and forgettable sort of corn and egg drop soup but the main is fantastic and not what you'll normally find on 17th.<br/ <br/ This place has a big stone wall in front and is pretty easy to miss- don't miss it, it's fantastic.
