The Sichuan

I was disappointed that the food did not really have any wow factor. It was either very plain or very salty. But the exception to this was the ribs which were outstanding.

Food was fantastic, staff are lovely. Highly recommend for those who enjoy authentic Chinese food. Green beans and aubergine dishe are both worth a try.

Friday lunchtime. Excellent food, excellent service - Lesley is brilliant - excellent value. will definitely recommend and definitely be back. Thanks and see you soon. Mike, London.

Excellent food and customer service as always... No doubt the best chinese food in London. Green beans, cumin beef, red chilli dumpling are a treat...

I went with my girlfriend for a dinner for two. It was our second time there. Food was good standard and waiters were friendly and attentive. The only less than ideal situation, was that they had to keep open the main entrance door to keep the steam out/keep the place cool, and we sat quite close to it, so it was quite draughty and food got cold quickly.

Great Authentic Sichuan Cuisine. Big portion with good price. Would recommend it to anyone that wants to try real Sichuan dishes. Would definitely visit again.

The best sichuan food I've ever eaten. Portions are generous and the chef's skills are exceptional. We particularly enjoyed the deep fried beef with cumin, the gong bao prawns (huge and succulent) with cashew nuts and celery, and dan dan noodles - accompanied by a Chilean merlot. Wonderful not to have to worry about MSG and to know that the flavours were all authentic.

Very good place for a business lunch. Attentive staff but not overly so. Excellent and authentic Szechuanese food all carefully prepared with some Cantonese dishes available on the menu as well.

Great food! All sorts of tastes to try out; not just spicy options. Restaurant was flexible with us pushing our reservation back. The place was busy when we got there and service was prompt throughout. Will be going back soon!

We enjoyed the food, which had that proper Sichuanese flavour. The menu is large and offers everything from very basic veg dishes to more exquisite specials.

Great food and service. Will be back again to eat. Also was amazing value. Would recommend the grilled fish it is absolutely delicious but has a bit of a kick to it.

Authentic Chinese meal with a nice restaurant ambiance. Staff accommodated our booking and every request. The only disappointment was the prawn dumplings, which I do no recommend ordering.

We had a variety of dishes and each complemented with each other, and they were all delicious! The grilled fish was definitely worth having and the sliced lotus pieces was another highlight. Will be back to try more dishes from the extensive menu.

Excellent spicy Sichuan food with very good waiting staff. Best to tell them to stagger the delivery of dishes because if not and if they are not busy the whole lot arrive at once.

We booked our table online and when we arrived at the restaurant the accueil was warm and friendly, the food was sublime .very delicious and enjoyed every bit of it and the red wine was good. The service was excellent and will definitely go back at Sichuan. Thank you.

Really Great food. It's cvertainly best to share lots of dishes for the full experience. Very nice and attentive service. I would definitely come back.

Awesome , great food , love it every time I go there , food and service , most authentic Sichuan food that I have had

Some of the most authentic Sichuan food in London. The beefin chilli oil is delicious. The staff are very friendly, would always recommend this place.

Delicious food, reasonable prices, and fairly good service although the bill including the optional service charge was 48.40 and we paid 48 and the woman chased us for the 40p. That was a little weird.

Fantastic restaurant, authentic food and lots to choose from. Have been 3 times now and always really enjoyable visits and delicious food. New Chinese local!

Very good. But Xmas rush meant all a bit rushed. And here is another twenty five words and some more to plrase website. Oh nearly there

The booking is smooth and nice. Food is great even for Chinese although I prefer it to be less greasy. I would use this booking service again

Great food and service. As a group of 8, we went for lunch and the whole party was pleased with the quality and quantity. I will definitely be coming back here for the Seabass, which we didn't get chance to have. Overall, a wonderful experience and great value!

Service was great and very polite. But food had far too much chilli. Food was of excellent quality....my mouth is still on fire... ruined the food. I would have rated 5 if food wasn't so chilli hot...

I recently visited the Sichuan on a Tuesday night, it was still busy enough to have a good atmosphere and the food was timely and tasty, spicy in all of the right places.

Mostly excellent food. Squid and soft shell crab in particular, as well as sweet and aour fish. Aromatic duck was ok, a bit dry, probably should have stuck to Sichuan dishes. Staff were lovely. Definitely a welcome addition to the Chinese eating scene and better than anything in Chinatown.

It has got quite busy during a lunch time and there were some mix up with the orders. My friend had a first bite without realising that she was eating a wrong food. Also the dim sum that we ordered as a starter came very late, almost after we ate the mains. Staff are friendly and food quality is generally good, but some improvement is needed.

Authentic Chinese restaurant with plenty of spice. The whole sea bass is highly recommended. A great meal for celebrating Chinese New Year. Kung Hay Fat Choy

Good location- rare Chinese restaurant in City. Nice place especially if you get the higher zone tables with lovely view. Delicious food if you like proper Chinese food not Chinglish food. Warm service. Recommend the fish and chicken especially.

The restaurant is located close to Moorgate Station and it is always crowded with many customers. Why is it? Foods are delicious and served in a quick manner. Prices are reasonable. by a city worker.

Lovely food, lovely staff!! A bit noisy due to a party in the back, and also a little cold as the front door was kept open. But the food is worth it all.

Great. The crispy fried pig intestine is a must. Would encourage them to list it on the menu. Gong bao chicken also brilliant. Look forward to my next visit.

My first time there and the food came out very promptly which was good. I've been to a few Sichuan restaurants in London and I will rate this the lowest...but I may need to try more dishes there. The dan dan noodles in particular had the taste but the soup was very thin and clear, which is not what we expected. I will definitely go back and give it a go a few more times though.

Good service but great food. Great selection of dishes, each one we tried was full of flavour! New favourite local when I get my Chinese cravings!

Welcoming staff. Efficient service and a huge choice of very tasty dishes. Old favourites, plus dishes with a subtle twist. We enjoyed our extended lunch and would highly recommend.

Great service, great food. The food is authentically Chinese - the Pig's Ear salad is the best as is the beef with green beans. We had an amazing evening and I can't wait to go back for seconds and thirds!

Great, authentic Chinese food, and cheap with it. Doesn't look like much on the outside but the real deal inside. Try the fish fragrant aubergine, and dry wok lotus slices.

We went for a farewell gathering for a colleague to leave for another job. There are many people during the lunch time. We ordered in advance so had hardly any waiting. the food was well cooked. environment was great for a cold overcasting day. good place to catch up with friends for lunch!

This was the best Sichuan cuisine we've had in London. We appreciated the complexity and intensity of flavors, the precision of the cooking, and the warm and friendly service.

Apparently the chef who got the good reviews is gone, very disappointing food. Staff friendly but could not make up for soggy salt and pepper squid! Served on large plate of almost raw onions! Imdifferent spring rolls. Signature dishes that got the good press reviews mainly ont in menu. Washout.

delicious food, friendly staff, clean and beautiful deco, quite and nice environment, reasonable price. definitely the first choice of Chinese food in the neighbourhood. will come back.

We rate the food a 4/6 but Staff was unprofessional and eating crisps, wrestling one another at the service counter - for all of the guests to see.

Good service, very good food and good value for money. The menu offers a wide choice and every dish we ordered was well prepared and presented.

mmmm great spicy fish. very quiet on a saturday due to location. but do check out. great Sichuan food and reasonable prices and friendly staff.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch in this very pleasant restaurant. Menu is outstanding and has great clarity to avoid incorrect ordering. Service was friendly and food was tasty and plentiful. Looking forward to extending my experience to an evening meal. Would definitely recommend to others.

V high quality cuisine. The restaurant accommodated a large group v professionally, with a warm welcome. V good value for money. Order the special fish dish!

Really amazing food. We had difficulty deciding which ones to go for! And overall it was also good value. Service was good: helpful and friendly.

We really enjoyed our meal at The Sichuan. The food was really great and the waitress was very friendly and efficient. The salt and pepper soft shell crabs and the hand torn aubergine salad were delicious and we enjoyed the house speciality of grilled fish. With many other exciting and interesting looking dishes on the menu, we'll definitely be back. Very good value for this part of town too.

Fantastic food at great value. Would recommend if you want an authentic Sichuan experience - the best cuisine in all the regions of China! (Especially if you like it spicy - absolutely delicious...)

Table was not ready and some dishes were better than others (and we waited a long time for rice so had to eat most of the food without it), but service was fun.
