The food here is authentic Chinese, not some Americanized version of Chinese. The place can get pretty full. I was there on a Thursday. If you can go at off hours, it's better. What I ate was outstanding, and I would happily return. Price was reasonable.

In my four years as a student on Princeton campus, there hasn't been another restaurant remotely close to SC House in terms of the consistency of their offerings and also the deliciousness of their food. The lunch specials that run M-F from 11:00-2:00 is so so good. the 土豆丝 is absolutely to die for. the restaurant may be a bit of a walk from main campus especially if you are not coming from the engineering quad, but wow, is the walk worth it every time. the free 蛋花汤 that comes with every lunch special entree order is great, and each of the specials are very affordably priced. I highly recommend the rattan pepper fish, the kung po chicken, and the lamb with cumin. outside of these options, I also highly recommend trying their pork belly entree (if you are coming for dinner) or their egg tofu dish. prices are not as good for dinner portions but I think if you are eating potluck style with friends it's worth it. service is solid - the staff make sure your waters are filled and that you are waited on properly. food comes out decently fast and the bathroom at this establishment has always been clean when I visit (probably over 20-30 times at this point) SC House also does a great job offering catering discounts to student groups so that aspect also deserves a shoutout. Will sorely miss this little chinese restaurant when I graduate this coming may.

Sadly I did not take any food photos at my first sit down dinner here. In typical fashion of a Chinese restaurant, the food was served fast! The place is cozy but food was good. I am giving them 4 stars based on the speed to delivery and the variety of foods served on a chilly Princeton night! The service was good. Price was also very reasonable!

Good authentic and Americanized Chinese food. Most dishes are spicy, so you'll be a bit limited in what you can eat depending on your spice tolerance. There are also nicely priced lunch specials, which come with rice and soup. The sauce that the scallion pancake comes with tastes very good- soy sauce and vinegary (and maybe garlicky). The employees are efficient. Inside has seating, as well as "outdoor" seating in a pseudo greenhouse

I ordered delivery from Schouse while in town for business, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. I don't have high hopes for food scene here since I'm spoiled with the Bay Area food options and qualities. But I'm glad I tried Schouse, and I've bookmarked it in case I'm back here again in the future. I ordered the pudding tofu with beef and boy choy with mushrooms. Both tasted great and they also honored your special requests for food prep. The pudding tofu with beef has just the right kick, and the beef is very flavorful, the tofu is silky and has a great soybean taste as well. The boc choy was also well prepared, not too greasy either. Great Szechuan food in the area, and I definitely recommend checking it out!

Schouse continues to provide exceptionally tasting food. The food is among the best Chinese food, I've had in the area. Everything is so flavorful, prepared to perfection, and absolutely delectable. (The only caveat would be the egg drop seaweed soup, which came with our lunch special. It was not good at all, but I'm keeping my original rating, since the entrees are so good) I've never had a better tasting pan fried chicken dumpling! For main entrees, I've had Shredded Pork in Garlic Sauce, Kung Po Chicken, Broccoli with Chicken, Eggplant with Garlic Suave. All are outstanding. Please note the number of chili peppers next to each dish indicating level of "hotness"! Although, we went with more mainstream entrees, the majority of the options are very unique and not ones I have seen on other Chinese restaurant menus. Hot and Spicy Diced Rabbit, Shredded Pig Ear, Duck Blood Soup, Spicy Frog, and Sautéed Pork Intestine to name a few are among the very unique offerings on their menu. If you are an adventurous eater, this place has got your number. Since, I only eat chicken and seafood, my offerings were limited, but I would return here without hesitation! There is outdoor dining as well as a large inside dining area. Service is efficient.

Delicious Szechuan restaurant on Nassau Street in downtown Princeton. Very authentic, many dishes I would not eat, but had a delicious lunch there! Looking for someplace really good and dropped in here for lunch. I can tell you the inside is beautiful and very charming. A very authentic place for Szechuan food. I'll be honest and say that there were many things on the menu that I would probably never eat. And I'm pretty, adventurous! But I bet they're all delicious! I settled for a more familiar fare with their beef and vegetables meal. I did not order from the lunch menu which had lots of choices that would easily suit my palette. I ordered off the menu. It was a big serving and came with delicious rice. It was extremely delicious and for a beef and vegetable dish about as good as it could get. It's obvious the owners take great care in the restaurant and put lots of pride into their work. Highly recommended for authentic Szechuan in downtown Princeton.
