    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!

    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.

    We had a very good evening on our first-ever visit to the Sichuan restaurant. The food was interesting and tasty, the service very good and the atmosphere was lively without being too hectic. We'd definitely go again.

    Wasn't as spicy as I was hoping and a few dishes lacked depth like Mapu Tofu. Some other dishes were great though including the cumin beef.

    Excellent! The hot and sour soup was to die for. Many of the other dishes looked wonderful, too - and we will most certainly be back. I lived in China for almost ten years and this is amongst the very best restaurants of its kind outside China I have visited - and very reasonable with it.

    Very friendly, helpful staff who made us feel very welcome. Food was delicious and came very quickly. It was quiet in there on a Saturday at lunchtime - hope it does well during the week as it's a very good restaurant.

    We love this place. It's right next to our office and it does a good job of presenting authentic cuisine at reasonable prices. Great and discerning wine list, also eminently affordable. Very popular, we're not alone in loving it, was already packed when 7 of us turned up for lunch at 12.30 today. If you're passing or keen to eat Sichuan cooking in an atmosphere of friendly excitement without paying the earth this is really worth checking out.

    Food was delicious and priced reasonably. Service was efficient. The only reason why I have not rated 6 is because the beef from the beef in chilli oil dish seemed a bit off. The texture doesn’t seem consistent with the same dish i’ve Had here before and other Sichuan restaurants. As a result my stomach feels a bit funny this morning..

    An incredibly good restaurant. Food not the least bit greasy. Most dishes will leave your mouth tingling with a numbing feeling so be warned. Aubergine is cooked more ways than you could imagine. Service superb, even when restaurant is at capacity.

    We really enjoyed the food which had that authentic mainland Chinese flavour. My wife who is from Xian always moans about the quality of Chinese food in England but she thoroughly enjoyed the dishes. The beef was particularly flavoursome.

    Good food, terrible service - was really impressed with flavours, bit pricey though - and the 12% service charge was a joke due to the restaurant being empty with very inattentive service...

    This is my FAVOURITE Sichuan restaurant ever! The food is so spicy and delicious. I have been to most of the Sichuan restaurants in London and this one is by far the best. Service is quick and variety of food is excellent. Their dumplings in chilli oil is a must. I've been here 7 times already and will be coming back again.

    We were not happy with one of the dishes ordered. We raised our concern with the waiter, but the manager came over and started an argument with us. He sounded quite insulting - saying that we picked up on their cooking for the sake of not wanting to pay for that particular dish. He also rushed us to pay the bill and leave the restaurant. This is simply not an attitude to run service-oriented business.

    Superb authentic Chinese food and great service - really good fun sharing dishes with colleagues on our table of 10. A few dishes familiar to western tastes as well for the less adventurous. Spicy means spicy so be careful!

    Lovely tasty food - and lots of it - my guest and I both took home what we couldn't eat - excellent friendly and attentive service and a nice atmosphere. Food was a tiny bit oily - hence the 4 stars not 5.

    I went as part of a group of 12 for a late lunch on Saturday. The restaurant was able to arrange one large round table in a private area at the back of the restaurant. This was a perfect arrangement and most suitable for conversation and the sharing of dishes. Service was friendly and efficient , and we all enjoyed the food. The wines were also good, and when the bill arrived, we all thought it was value for money.

    The Sichuan is a brilliant show case of one of China's most interesting cuisines in the heart of London. If you have never tried the deliciously numbing effect of Sichuan peppercorns before you really must! I took a colleague who claimed not to like Chinese food and she loved it, realising that what she didn't like was the English sweet sticky Chinese. Go go go!!

    This restaurant has stepped up its game - the Szechuan fish is particularly delicious. The best Chinese in this neck of the woods without a doubt.
