    Authentic Sichuan food conveniently located in the City. Do not miss the stir fried lamb with cumin. Bookings recommended because when we went last night on a Monday in January, the restaurant was surprisingly busy.

    first time visiting this restaurants, we work locally at Moorfields Eye Hospital and it was a ladies night out! absolutely love the food, amazing, the restaurants was very busy too, service was not bad they were very busy, the ambience of the place could be a little dimmer, little too bright for my liking, but Food 10/10, we definitely be back

    From the moment we walked in, we were made very welcome. Comfortable seating, tables not too close together. Lovely waitress. Food absolutely delicious, and very fairly priced. We will definitely return.

    Our star dish was the lamb with cumin. Smashed cucumber was nice and hot. Acoustics are not great if you are next to a raucous table. Decor is nice, much more handsome than a standard Chinese.

    The food is delicious and as far as I can tell the most authentic Chinese restaurant I've ever been to. Get the dry wok lotus root!

    Excellent Chinese restaurant. The food was great at reasonable prices, the services was attentive without out being intrusive. I booked a table for 2 on spec as I needed to find a place quickly for dinner and was very pleased with my experience. It is certainly a restaurant I will go back to.

    This is one of those places that you REALLY don't want to share the good feedback about because it will become too busy! But I have to be honest and say that the food, service and prices make it an absolute gem in the City. Please don't visit!

    I have been a couple of times at The Sichuan 5 or 7 years ago,at that time enjoyed tge food and thought it was a lovely Chinese restaurant. The food was 100 % delicious,this year decided to take my friends there for new years eve. I was curious to see if the food was still the same,after so many years. Sure enough it was amazing,my friends and I enjoyed the food and the service was good too. Thank you to the chief at the Sichuan for cooking so well and thanks to the waiters for a great service. Happy New year 2024

    Best Sichuan restaurant in London and quite possibly the best Chinese too. Have eaten here several times and the food is always excellent with lots of interesting choices. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the place is always buzzy and busy

    Good food (but not excellent) and service but a bit disappointing that the lunch special options seem to have vanished from the menu. That said it was still reasonable as an a la carte menu choice for where it is in the city. The person I was treating appreciated the food, particularly the beef he had (which he said was the best he had eaten in a Chinese restaurant). Busy but not too busy so that was great.

    Excellent food, staff is friendly and have good advice on what to eat. Comfortable environment. The Man and Wife offal salad is so damn good, and the auxiliary materials add the needed hot and cold slap to your taste buds.

    A real hidden gem. Outstanding casual place to eat. Could not fault a single dish, consistently good quality every time I go here. Have been with friends, family and on business.

    I went with a native Chinese and we both agreed that the food was authentic and very good. We found a quiet corner and were pleasantly surprised as to how long we stayed.

    My first time eating but definitely not my last. Excellent service and delicious food. It was a bit noisy as the tables are quite close together but not enough to distract from the food or the conversation

    Such a great restaurant - friendly service and excellent food. It was so good that I returned the very next day to eat here again! The beef black bean was a highlight.

    The food was superb, the prices very reasonable and the service was very good despite the restaurant being very busy as it was lunchtime. I recommend this as a good place for a team lunch.

    Dumplings and salt&pepper tofu were quite nice. The mains (Sichuan Pork Belly and Gong Pow Chicken) very average.
