"The Convoy Street restaurant has been on the strip for a decade, serving up traditional dishes along with modern favorites. Standouts include the beef with king mushrooms and dried red pepper chicken, made with small morsels of crispy chicken thighs spiked with scallions and hot Szechuan peppers, as well as the counter stocked with various cold appetizers." - Helen I. Hwang

"In Convoy Village Shopping Center, the modest restaurant has been cooking up homestyle dishes for years. As the name suggests there are tons of spicy dishes here but also more mild dishes like beef rolls. Popular spicy entrees include mapo tofu, crispy chicken with dried red pepper, and spicy fish filet." - Helen I. Hwang
"As part of Chowbus's San Diego launch, I noticed Szechuan Chef is one of the 30+ local restaurants featured on the platform; Chowbus focuses on independent, mom-and-pop spots, conducts blind taste tests before adding new eateries, and provides services like photography and marketing. I can order dishes and snacks from Szechuan Chef (or multiple eateries in a single order) with no additional fees, choose delivery within the current range from Poway to National City with fees varying from free to $4.99, or opt for takeout and be notified when my order is ready. Chowbus also offers a Chowbus Plus membership with free delivery on orders over $15 and other discounts." - Candice Woo
"Danny Chen also runs the longstanding Szechuan Chef on Macadam." - Adam Levbarg
