    Don't be intimidated by the plates of peppers. The spice more numbing than burning. Be careful of sauce splash damage. I would recommend the fish dish if you have a lot of people in your group.

    Reading the tips I wonder if I went to the same place. Service isn't great but food is awesome. We (7 people) got the Schezuan dinner and it was delicious!

    Very authentic Sichuan dishes! It's a little spicy but not too spicy. Try the fire cracker chicken or the fish dish with the red chili's :)

    Huge portion sizes, no need to have starters and mains as the mains are big enough to share! Beef Mongola had great flavour, spring rolls really crispy but spare ribs were average.

    All spicy dishes are great as the name implies including all the Sichuan usuals. And the pea shoots!

    It is authentic Szechwan. And it has plenty "dirty meats" like livers and pig ears. (Personally, I like the house noodle.)

    Service is less than friendly and a little slow. For the Spicy inclined: tiger skins and chicken with exploding peppers.

    I don't know what the f^ck everyone is talking about. The food is phenomenal. Really the only problem is they ignore you unless you're with a party of 17 old Chinese people.

    They have just one high chair, so if you need one ask before committing.
