The Sichuan

Considering it is Chinese New Year we did understand that the service may be slower than normal which is fine so well done still on service it was super busy. The food was AMAZING, great flavours and felt very authentic in comparison to most Chinese's in the UK. Would highly recommended if you want to taste real flavours rather than just a fried salty taste you would expect from other restaurants/takeaways. I had C3. ‘Gong Bao’ Prawn on Rice (contain hazel nuts) and the C7. Braised Beef Brisket on Rice, both were very yummy!

The food was delicious and everyone had a great time! The service was really friendly and I will certainly consider going again. Would definitely recommend!

It is a very enjoyable experience, and really like the fried fish. Strongly recommend this fish. Of course I will lead my friends to come back again. thanks.

In general, I'm not good at spicy foods, however, the foods at this restaurant were so delicious and excellent that I could eat everything. The interior is spacious and clean, and the staffs are friendly and experienced. I sincerely recommend this restaurant.

Food options are not as many as most Chinese restaurants, however, the taste and dining environment are better than mostly of the restaurants in China town.

Very good food. Had a nice dinner. It was a good experience and very reasonable price for the 7 of us. Highly recommended and will come back to this place

The food is consistently of outstanding quality, the dishes are original and authentic, the atmosphere is relaxed and buzzy and the service is friendly and attentive. Never disappoints. The whole deep-fried seabass with sweet and sour sauce is a masterpiece.

Decent service. Food blah compared to Sichuan Chinese we have had before. Disappointed. Would not go back again. Was surprized after all the good reviews online.

Great food, but ambience leaves a lot to be desired. Very cold, constant draught from front door. Door also banged every time guests arrived or left and/or went to washroom.

Fantastic food. Well recommended. Very flavoursome and beautifully prepared. The entire team agree that the food was great. Thank you very much. We will be back!

The Sichuan is always my favorite place for lunch, however, today was a bit disappointing. The dishes were cold and too salty. I hope the kitchen and chefs will be able to keep the quality of food. Staffs were nice as always.

Dumpling was cold. We were rushed to complete the lunch within 40 mins as the reason was that the restaurant was fully booked. We found out later they gave seats to clients with no booking. Very confusing

The food is terrific and the service is very efficient and friendly.

First time to this restaurant- wasn’t sure what to expect from a Chinese restaurant in the city but it was perfect for what I wanted. The right balance between great food and good service. Like other have said, there is plenty of spicy choices!

The restaurant were very attentive to our needs and the service was very good. The food was served quickly and we were helped with our choices. It's not cheap but the food and service are good.

Food was tasty but a lot less spicy then expected. If you really like it spicy, let them know before you order. Overall, pretty good.

Been there twice before and enjoyed the food. Took a friend there this time and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. Delicious and very satisfying! Amazing to have a restaurant that serves yummy Sichuan dishes in The City!

Boiled Beef in Sichuan oil, does not sound good but one of the best dishes on the menu... It is a huge portion to feed two people easily...

Unfortunately the heat of authenticate Sichuan food was missing and the numbing was toned done. These dishes themselves otherwise had good flavour, were well cooked and large in size compared to Hong Kong where I come from. When we asked about the lack of heat in Mandarin they apologised profusely and admitted that they assumed we were British and had served the local toast variation of the cuisine rather than the authentic taste. I can understand that many Brits would find Sichuan heat challenging but I think customers should be given the choice of the degree of authenticity that they can take.

My favorite lunch place, chongqing noodle is the best. Spicy wan ton also very nice. It’s busy at lunch hour so better to make reservation in advance.

Absolutely amazing food! Been here a couple of times and loved it both times.. Would definitely recommend the fish in chilli oil as something special to try out!!

The staff were all very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The atmosphere was great and the food was very delicious. I would come here again in future¬!

great veggie options, good service, food arrived quickly as we were in a rush

Food is very delicious, and the service is very efficient. We celebrate the birthday of my foreign boss, and the whole team is very enjoyable. Many thanks, and will come back again!

Food was delicious and tasted fresh. The restaurant could really do with a complete refurbishment. Staff not very attentive, stood around bar on phones not really paying attention to customers

Love this restaurant. Consistently great food and excellent service. The Sichuan pork green beans are amazing and so is the spicy Sichuan boiled beef! Try them

Overall a nice authentic restaurant that serves a wide range of Szechuanese dishes. I would recommend the cold chicken dish and stir fried potato strips.

So refreshing. Was planning to go to hakkasan or Y ming but decided to do something a bit different. Every dish was delicious and different to normal chinese. I have had sichuan before but the dishes on the menu were well guided between mild and nuclear so we found a good balance easily. Some old favourites on there (eg peking duck) also if you want some familiar fare. Service was very quick and friendly. Will be back!

Super busy on Friday evening. All our orders came correctly. Not all the dishes are spicey. Deserts did not sound nice but actually were. Very reasonable prices- ie under 30£ a head.

Good service and nice food. Really convenient as we were staying just round the corner. Service was very quick but we weren’t rushed to leave at the end. Would definitely go back. Thanks!

Taste is very nice! Not expensive Vest Chinese restaurant in London . It was third time to visit here. Every time I am really surprised by delicious food.

The food was excellent and the service fast and efficient. We were constantly asked if we wanted anything else and even the little things were not too much trouble. Good atmosphere too. We were a party of 3 and went during the lunchtime session.

We found one of the waiters rude and dismissive. Then the bill was wrong twice - the food was excellent but that soured the experience for us.

Nice authentic Chinese food. A bit off the track maybe but friendly staff.

Foods are delicious, not very spicy, like the fragrant chicken in a pile of chilli and the dry-fried green beans with mince pork. The only thing was the tea, not enough tea leaves in a tea pot for two people which made less taste.

Fantastic authentic food! Best in London and great service too! Great for a large group as portions are large so sharing advised. Go for the more unusual dishes - you won’t be disappointed!

Equally as good as back in China. Simply fantastic food coupled with great service. Would highly recommend The Sichuan to all and will be coming back soon.

Everything is delicious. I bring some foreigners to try this restaurant for the first time, and it is amazing that everyone likes the food so much, and they are all eager to come back in the near future! Many thanks for the good service.

Very good food, reasonable price would happily visit there again. Good selection and variety of dishes and no problems the day after as well!! Very enjoyable!

We really enjoyed the very delicious food, and the service is very efficient. We will absolutely come back again. Many thanks for this good choice.
