Excellent Szechuan food, with many different options to choose from, very friendly staff, and high quality ingredients. I was especially impressed with the double cooked pork belly and a fish dish in soup that was delicious. Their cucumber …

The service and the tastes of the foods became worse compare with last year when I visited. The sauce of the fish smells and tastes good but the fish was tasteless. I agree with the other reviews that the male waiter was rude to customer and he kept talking to another waitress which was quite annoying to us.

Taste bud overload. If you’ve never tried it go for it. But be prepared for an other world experience in dining.

Authentic Sichuan food at a very reasonable price. We were a group of 6 and had to wait 15 minutes to sit down but it was worth it. Everything was delicious but the cauliflower stir fry and the fried pork belly were amazing!

Always been one of the better regional Chinese restaurants in London although I note the dish size has shrunk while the prices have creeped up. Pretty poor service, as per most Chinatown restaurants, and cash only.

The food is good but too much oil for me. Small space but relatively friendly staff. I would go again to try their dumping.

When I saw the name of the diner, I felt really excited coz it's the name of my own city. The food, honestly, was not bad. Though the fish was a bit tasteless. However, the service we received from those snobs was terrible!! Especially a …

One of my favourite restaurants in London; serves authentic Chinese food for a reasonable price. Also serve super quickly so it’s very ideal for the ever hungry person!! Every dish I’ve tried has been really good, highly recommend the 水煮鱼，麻婆豆腐，四季豆，红烧肉，葱油饼.

Great Szechuan dishes bursting with amazing tastes of China in a small restaurant that will make you feel as if your were transported to a rural town in China. Service was also patient and friendly. Prawn, Chicken and Pork dishes were great. Lamb dish was less successful.
They have great teas too!

This place had a changed menu and possibly change of management, and the quality of the food dropped - but its great again. Very affordable, and genuine Chinese cuisine. One of the best places in Chinatown - highly recommended!

Below average. Very salty (nearly inedible) food. Service was ok. There’s plenty more options on your door step

I love the traditional spicy dumplings in broth. They are ridiculously spicy and soooo tasty. No alcohol here and simple, no messing vibe.

The best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been in London. The waitress was really nice and the food she recommended to me was great. I’ll definitely return to the restaurant in a week. Only thing I have to say that they just accept cash.

Have eaten here countless times and have never really had any complaint before. Sure, it's pretty cramped, but that's common in China Town (at least in the more authentic restaurants) due to many of the restaurants being small and very …

Ok sichuan food. Quick service but without a smile or warmth. And would not accept card payment for an 80 pound bill. Had to walk down to the local atm to get cash to pay. My local kebab house and chinese takeaway even take card payments!!

This place used to be amazing. The new menu is poor, terrible in fact. Seems like an attempt to sell tiny dishes at old prices but they've made them worse too. All the best dishes like fish fragrant aubergine, cumin lamb, green beans with mince pork and garlic and twice cooked Szechuan pork are gone. Please bring the old menu back!

Really good! Having just got off a long-haul flight I decided to go for a 'safer' option of pork fried with ginger, garlic, chilli, etc with rice. It was beautifully done and some of the best Chinese food I've had. Quite different from the …

Food is great but the turnover is really being pushed hard by waiters. They want you to make up your mind what to order in 3 minutes and leave the place 10 minutes after you pay your bill (you get the gist). So if you want fast and furious …

Highly recommendable place for Chinese food. Excellent dishes are served with a variety of szechuan flavours and spices. The service is also very good.
Try the homemade plum juice! It goes perfectly with spicy dishes.

Avoid this place.
1. Probably the worst service in Chinatown. This restaurant drive away any customers who had a meal for more than 1 hour, and their staffs are very rude. And also, when you want to add a dish, the waiter may just tell …

Simply the best authentic Chinese food I have ever had. A lot of the dishes were unfamiliar to me but the waitress helped me pick a really tasty selection. I was worried about the chilli content but it was always perfectly balanced in every plate of food.
Cash only, and not a big enough space for really large groups.
