We've been enjoying this restaurant for years, and the quality of everything is superb. They offer traditional Sichuan food and there is a huge variety of dishes and ingredients that are not typically served here in the UK. We live hours away from London, but always come to this restaurant every time we go into the city.

I had dinner on my own and because i only had short time to dine i paid my order early before i finished eating to save time. When i stood up to leave I was asked bluntly by 2 waitressess if I paid already, the tables near me were all at earshot which was very awkward. I had to show my receipt to prove that i paid. No apologies given just said "don't worry about it " which is really unprofessional and very rude. This is the worst treatment a restaurant can give its client very rude.

The Sichuan is a bustling, busy restaurant with a great atmosphere. Unfortunately we were half an hour late for our table but the lady we spoke to was very kind and accommodating when we called and still kept a table ready for us when we got there (thank you!) The food was incredible, with generous portions and tasted great. We also loved the friendly service, which was very efficient too. Will definitely be coming again! Whilst I highly recommend every dish, my favourites are the Sliced Beef served in Boiling Chilli Oil, and Chicken in a Pile of Chillies. Delicious!

The Sichuan is a wonderful, family-owned restaurant serving delicious, authentic Chinese food. The chef, Zhang, comes from Chengdu and is a master of Sichuan cooking. We greatly enjoyed the Hand-Tom Aubergine with chopped satled fresh chilli - savoury and moreish. Other stand-out dishes were 'Gong Bao' king prawns with cashew nuts and celery; Boiled fish in sizzling chilli oil (the fish was so tender and contrasted beautifully with the zing of the chilli, the mouth-numbing szechuan peppers and soft bean sprouts) and the beef with Sichuan pickles, needle mushrooms and wild pepper (an enticing mix of savoury and sour with tender strips of beef). Service is warm, friendly and attentive. There are a good selection of beverages to suit all tastes. Delicious, refreshing teas, beers and fine wines. We will definitely be back.

I was so happy to find Chinese food as authentic as this, having lived in China for a couple of years in the past. I've found it surprisingly hard to find the good stuff in London, but The Sichuan is the real deal! I only tried the chef's special fish (whole roasted fish) on my first visit, but since it was SO good I will definitely be returning soon to see if the rest of the menu stacks up. Great value for money, the service was great (all the staff were super friendly), couldn't recommend this place more.
