Daren WilliamsMarch 9, 2018Cash only. Recommend: Gong Bao chicken (nutty & sweet), salt & pepper calamari, green beans with pork mince. Twice cooked pork and spicy lamb were tough and too spicy, and dumplings better elsewhere.
Shaileshwori SharmaJune 4, 2016Go as a group, order multiple things and share for the best experience. The aloe vera juice goes really well with the food. Make sure to specify extra spicy if that's what you like.
MaríaAugust 8, 2015What they say about the great service and the signature dumplings is true! The prawns with cashews and the braised aubergines in soy sauce are delicious.
- Sichuan Folk serves up some of the best Szechuan food in London. The spicy pork buns, and the dumplings are highlights, but if you're a large party, go for the hot pot with all the trimmings.
- Olly StedallJuly 19, 2017Authentic Sichuanese cuisine in central London! everything was delicious especially the Ma Po Tofu (麻婆豆腐). Highly recommended.
Gene SooMay 15, 2016Dumpling sauce is good. The skin can be thinner but overall it's very tasty. Ma Po tofu is also yummy.- Morgan RoderickJuly 2, 2019The Mapo Tofu was delicious as was the fish fragrant aubergine. Great service. I’ll be back to try more of the menu
Great for “real” Chinese food in the Sichuanese style. Vegetarians ask for mapo tofu or sea-spiced (yu-shiang) aubergine but be sure to ask for them without meat. Give the cloud ear fungus a try too!
Stuart WilkesMay 22, 2013Everything is delicious. Particular thanks to the fantastic waiter who guided a few of our party who didn't fancy the more adventurous dishes through the menu.- Awon GoldingJuly 4, 2013Authentic Sichuan food. Get the mapo tofu, dongbo pork knuckle, and spicy oil fish. The manager is super friendly and will give u great suggestions too.
Rosy RongNovember 1, 2013One of my favourite places to eat in London. Super friendly staff. Make sure to get the green beans with mince and boiled fish slice.
Maryam FarrukhApril 15, 2019Being out hang for Chinese food for so many time, this time is the most wonderful, big amount of food and excellent service
Faye DFebruary 9, 2016Excellent hot pot and the service was amazing! Not rushed like other Chinese restaurants!
TeeJanuary 2, 2015Very authentic Sichuanese food. Service was fast and efficient. We particularly enjoyed the mapo tofu and beef with pickled chillies!!
Iva Las VegasSeptember 6, 2015I got a take away from those guys just because of the dumplings, which were great! However, I was slightly disappointed with my Beef with Pickled Chili - very greasy and in my opinion..overpriced.
CharlotteNovember 22, 2013Get recommendations from the waiters, they really guide well. Tofu with tofu skin was disappointingly bland, spicy cucumber starter was surprisingly delicious, portion sizes are really big.- M WDecember 2, 2014Cheap and cheerful Chinese just off Spitalfields. Very authentic. The signature dumplings are a must.
Igor TonkikhApril 22, 2017Instead of smashed cucumbers in garlic sauce please expect just sliced cucumbers in sauce made of chili paste. Helpless.
Puppala DupiMay 22, 2017fantastic food and very friendly polite and hospitable staff. highly recommended
Delicious dumplings. Good service - and not just for a Chinese restaurant!
Phil HJanuary 17, 2016Usually cash only but one of the few real authentic Chinese restaurants in London.
Jason R. CoombsJanuary 12, 2014Have the dried spiced beef appetizer - a jerky-like treat to prep your palate.
Wai ManNovember 5, 2013I can recommend the Sichuan folk cold chicken appetiser but you will have to take the bad service with it ... They will try to hard sell you additional dishes and give then mini rice portions.
Leave the ordering to the waiters. Unbelievably nice service and great food!
Bradley WoodAugust 29, 2013PROPER Chinese food. Tasty food. Good service. You can't really go wrong.
Stephen MastersApril 3, 2012Ask the waiters for tips on more authentic off-menu dishes. They are wonderfully keen to impress.
Dario MolinariApril 11, 2015This place is not helping my diet! Food is sooo good I dream of it at night.
Skandy OthmaniMarch 23, 2017Don't go there, service is as lame as the food. We had hot pot and was expensive and just oil on oil. I'm 100% sure that the positive comments are not real.
