Barshu Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

This place was great! It's apparently the oldest Sichuan restaurant in London, and it has aged well. We wanted to order absolutely everything, but managed to restrain ourselves to just 4 dishes - fish flavour aubergine, cumin lamb, the chilli chicken you can see (can't remember the exact name), and the hotpot with luncheon meat (also not the exact name). Everything was great, definitely too much food for 2 people but they happily gave us boxes to take it away. The flavour was amazing - the balance of flavour was fantastic, and the staff checked with us on the spice level (we asked for spicy!). Overall I would happily recommend this place, and will return. Thanks to Rollindeep on tiktok for the recommendation!

Lightning protection, this restaurant's unique garlic white meat is worse than garlic carrots. That fish fillet soup is better said to be dead fish carcass soup. At the same time, if you bring your own drinks, the clerk will tell you to charge 1 pound/person after you place your order.

Nice and authentic Sichuan food!

It was so bad. I didn't even take a sip of Heytea and still had to pay a pound for the service. They only told me this after I ordered. If they had said it earlier, I wouldn't have come in. The fish slices were very fishy and the garlic mud white meat wasn't good either. I didn't see any meat, it was all carrots.

The service is incredible from Oscar and everyone in the team

Great place, great food, we found it walking around soho, and looked through to see this amazing looking food,they gave us a table for 2 although they were busy we didn’t wait, bit of a strange order system, they gave us sheets to tick the boxes for what we wanted but didn’t explain it to us Anyway we sorted it very fast, the waitress was very helpful and friendly, the food came out nice and quick, and was very fresh and hot, some of the dishes coming out for bigger tables looked fantastic, we had beer,hot sake and plenty of very nice dishes ourselves, no complaints at all, we will be returning in a couple of weeks for certain, thank you

It's very unpalatable. The fish is smaller than a palm. It's hard and small. It's impossible to eat. Does anyone know? I've eaten here many times before and never encountered this situation! After sitting down, I asked for water three times, but I turned a blind eye to the first two times. If I wanted to complain to the staff, I just said there was no foreman! Who knows?

The tastiest Chinese I've ever had. Extensive menu includes many regional cuisines like Schezuanese and Taiwanese, but I'd say the menu was so long, almost too long. The customer service was excellent, really friendly waitors and waitresses, and the atmosphere was so nice. I'd say it was all a little too expensive, however I think it was worth it (once in a while).

They served great food here, the dishes are very tasty, good potions and great prices. We'll definitely come back here.

Excellent Sichuan restaurant on the outskirts Chinatown with a wide range of authentic dishes absolutely packed with flavour and spice. I visited with a large group of friends and the staff kindly served us in a private room. The staff in general were some of the best I’ve had being very kind, accommodating, and helpful during the evening. We order a wide array of dishes from the whole menu to sample a wide breadth of their offerings. Stand outs were the braised pork shank, dry wok frog legs, dry wok prawns, mapo tofu, Dan Dan noodles, and Chongqing noodles. However, every dish was genuinely packed with sizzling flavour that I’m sure there are many more excellent dishes we did not try. The only thing to note and only negative is that many items are quite spicy. Specifically, items labelled “authentic spicy” or described with “numbing sauce” will often contain many Sichuan peppercorns which can cause a very sharp numbing sensation on the tongue if bitten into. These aren’t necessarily intended to be eaten so you should try to avoid picking them up when eating from the dishes but they are quite common so be aware. Another way to account for this is to order plenty of non-spicy dishes to balance out the overall flavour profile. I would highly suggest their aubergine sesame paste and century eggs which were excellent vegetarian dishes. The price is also very reasonable. Not cheap but the portion sizes are very large and generous and you definitely pay for the flavour. Overall, I do believe that this could go up to a 5 star on a revisit with a little extra care in ensuring a more balanced flavour experience. I will definitely come back and this is an absolute recommend!

Large pieces of yellow beef stir-fried with green peppers and onions. The peppers are thoroughly fried, and the beef slices are very tender and have a sweet texture. The waiter was not familiar with the food and couldn't answer the questions and couldn't make recommendations. Will stay again.

You can also eat authentic Sichuan cuisine in London! When you walk into the restaurant, you instantly feel like you are transported to a Chongqing restaurant. The design of the arches and window grilles gives you a strong Sichuan style! The boiled seabass uses fresh seabass, the fish fillets are tender and boneless, boiled with dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, and then poured with hot oil, the aroma explodes instantly!

The restaurant is right next to London's Chinatown, and the location is great! Recommended by Michelin from 2007 to 2025, the Spicy Overlord Elbow is a whole pork elbow braised until tender, with a rich aroma and overflowing gravy. Served with spicy soup, it is simply a paradise for meat lovers!

Food is good, service is good. It is an excellent place to try the authentic sizhuan dish in London. Be careful it is spicy and you will love it. Only thing is that the grilled fish is fried and not grill.

I recently dined at Brashu and was extremely disappointed with the service. The food was average at best, but what really ruined the experience was the way they handled my payment. My bill was £42, and I gave the staff £50. However, they never returned my change. I politely reminded them, but they ignored my request, acting as if nothing was wrong. This is completely unacceptable and feels dishonest. A restaurant should be a place where customers feel respected and valued, not taken advantage of. I wouldn’t recommend this place based on my experience. There are plenty of other restaurants with better service and more honest staff.

Compared with 2016, the food and service have dropped a lot. Although many people still come, the reputation is really accumulating day by day.

Our second time visiting - thumbs up to our waiter who was both amusing and competent. Food great although hard to go back to the office later without a nap!

Fund vibe and interesting food, but almost too spicy! Good value for money though.

Great vibes, great food, great location. What more do you need? Perfect rec for people looking to try an Asian restaurant featured in the Michelin Guide in London!

The taste and environment are average. The shredded potatoes had no flavor when they were first served. I ordered a lot but they were not very tasty. The sweet and sour pork knuckle tastes pretty good.

A very good experience in this restaurant! High quality cuisine with Sichuan flavors and very friendly service. All in a superb environment.

It tastes terrible. They are all fake meat and seasoning packets. The service is very poor. No one cares about it. I waited for a long time for water and rice. It is very noisy and there is a queue. It is also very expensive.

Dear foreign friends, Chinese don’t want to eat unfresh Chinese food, we all feel nausea, don’t cheat by them. They use unfresh Chinese food. They just reheat it. And they charge so much for it. Not a very good experience. First of all, the grilled fish we ordered was served in 5 minutes after ordering, and it felt pre-made. Secondly, when I wanted to ask the waiter about the food, the waiter said it was on the menu, you can see it yourself? ? ? What kind of attitude. Oh my god, they also charge me service fee? ? ? Whoever wants to be bullied, go ahead.

The pork there is just so amazing! Totally recommend

Very Authentic! I will give it a five star for the service experience and the food! The pork belly dish is amazing, I really like it and recommended it

The takeaway is too much. The Maoxuewang material for 35 is just a little bit. Overpriced, so little food for a 35pound takeout dish, the portion for eat-in is normal but when it comes to takeout it’s half the size.

Fantastic food!!! Very authentic Chinese Sichuan cuisine. My favorite restaurant in London so far. Highly recommended! The service was amazing, atmosphere was great.

DISAPPOINTED NOT RETURNING. Ordered the sea bass that was over like £32. It should be sizzling hot with the thick sauce but it wasn’t. It was like warm because I think they just brought out the fish that was already sitting there. Because it came 10min after we ordered with the fried rice. Fish- luke warm Fried rice - way too much oil Fried rice was just covered in SO much oil. It was unpleasant to keep eating. Sickening. Not enough prawns either for the price you pay. The server upstairs didn’t take care of us and didn’t explain how we order using the paper to tick the numbers. Overpriced for the quality of food & service. Updated March 2025: such a rude, passive aggressive response. Just admit your low level customer and food standards. You call yourself Michelin star restaurant

Worst dining experience ever! Not one of them! I was told that take-out drinks could not be brought in. When I tried to communicate with the waiter, I was directly interrupted by the main person in charge on the second floor - a fat man with black-rimmed glasses and silvery white hair. ! What a bad attitude! Rude words! In the end, they forcibly charged me 1 pound of so-called milk tea (corkage fee?). Isn't this a form of bullying? ? What makes us most sad is that we are even from the same country and should be our closest compatriots. Facing the world with such an attitude, I feel ashamed for you!

There are cheaper spots in the area, and you could argue they offer a better value proposition. However, the food here is exceptional and authentic. The service is good and it’s well worth a visit if you like Sichuan cuisine.

The service is a bit slow, we have to write down our orders ourselves on paper.

Magnificent to eat at a price a little less expensive than the average in London.

It tasted terrible, not spicy at all, and the fish fillet was too old. The taste of all the dishes made my throat choke and I couldn't eat any of them. If you are not from Sichuan and Chongqing, please don’t pretend to be Sichuan and Chongqing cuisine.

How old is this? It’s still not allowed to bring your own drinks. If you bring in the Heytea you just bought with your friends, we will be charged an unknown fee. This kind of overbearing clause has been rectified in China a few years ago. I can’t believe that I can still choose this kind of restaurant among the Michelin recommended restaurants in London. The taste is just average, without any special features of Sichuan cuisine. It is a standard Gui Lao restaurant. Anyone who has been to Sichuan will not say that this is authentic Sichuan cuisine.

The food was delicious, but the service was terrible. The waiters didn't pay attention to anyone. It was too noisy, too noisy, too noisy.

The grilled fish is a big portion and very tasty. The spicy chicken is moderately spicy. I will come again next time.

Great food and atmosphere. Staff were sometimes distracted and took a while to get back on requests but the restaurant was very busy. Overall really nice food and price

Every dish is too salty, menu has a large variety to choose from but everything tastes similar. Service is average not attentive.

Canned Beef Brisket: Very delicious, goes well with rice, and tastes like home. Highly recommended. Maocai: Specially added potato slices, fat beef and duck blood, even if the amount is added, it is not too big... not much duck blood... but the taste is okay, quite satisfactory, but the lunch meat inside is very shredded... Fish-flavored eggplant: The fish-flavored eggplant tastes very good, but the texture of the eggplant is too poor, not soft at all, and the eggplant skin is difficult to chew. Brown sugar glutinous rice cake: The taste is okay, but this kind of thing is difficult to make and tastes bad. Ordering was really troublesome... The waiter just gave me a list and a pen without mentioning the serial number. After writing the name of the dish on the list, I asked the waiter if it was okay to write it this way. If there were any problems, we could re-write the name of the dish. After getting repeated affirmative answers, we were able to order the wrong two dishes... Fortunately, it didn't affect anything in the end. The atmosphere was average.

My first meal in London was a very bad experience👎 The food was a bit salty, the service was totally lacking, and the price was too expensive. It’s not worth coming here a second time.

Every dish was overly salty. Crab was overly fried and hard. could not smell or taste the crab inside.. the chilli chicken had mostly chilies and hardly any chicken. Portions were huge, meant for sharing

The fried rice was tasteless !! We were so dissapointed !!

Food was some of the best Chinese food I have had living in the UK for 54 years. Real Szechuan cuisine without holding back on the peppers or chillis

It's a nice place to visit for Szechuan cuisine. Service is excellent.

There is nothing wrong with the environment and food, but the service attitude is really bad, very bad, very bad. If you want to come here and be treated coldly, you can come here and experience it. It is very interesting. The service is totally terrible, if you want terrible services u can try this

The family members said that this restaurant has been here since they came to London in 2007. It was a restaurant that they thought was delicious when they were students. I went there twice after arriving in London. The first time I ordered the elbow, it was quite delicious. The stewed elbow was tender enough, the portion was large, and the sauce was more homemade. Maoxuewang is not very tasty, just average. As for the other dishes I ate, I felt that most of them were semi-finished products prepared in advance by the restaurant to facilitate the speed of meal delivery, and the taste was really ordinary. The environment is much better than some Chinese restaurants in Chinatown, and the service is OK.

Booked a table and when we show up, table is not ready and they asked us to wait for further 30min

I had the pleasure of dining at Bar Shu, a restaurant renowned for its authentic Sichuan cuisine and even recommended by Michelin – and it truly lives up to its reputation! The experience was absolutely wonderful. The Sweet Chili Chicken was an absolute highlight, perfectly balancing sweet and spicy flavors that left a lasting impression. The noodles were a standout as well, cooked to perfection with bold and delicious flavors. We also enjoyed the Gyoza, which were delicate and flavorful. To round off our feast, the Fried Rice was fragrant, well-seasoned, and an excellent complement to the rest of the dishes. Beyond the amazing food, the staff were incredibly helpful, friendly, and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was beautiful and clean, with a warm and inviting vibe that added to the overall experience. Bar Shu offers an incredible journey into Sichuan cuisine, showcasing authentic dishes with exceptional quality and care. The Michelin recognition is well-deserved, and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable Chinese dining experience in central London.

Was the most outrageous experience we had in a restaurant in London. First, there is nobody to explain about the dishes, they , give you a menu with a list of no less than 138 dishes and you have to sign whatever you like to order. We chose 5 dishes that looked nice, and received the worst food in the city. It started with a boiled chicken with its skin on it, no taste at all except a red oil on it. Then there was a jar of gray colored aubergines that we had to cut them to smaller pieces by our own. The pick was as we got a huge bowl of unbearable hot soup with unrecognizable pieces and it in addition to some boiled pieces of a white fish, and the other dish which supposed to be prawns but was fried in so thick batter that again was unrecognizable, suffered from the same unbearable taste which left in the mouth for hours. The plates which the waiter collected after that "meal" were almost untouchable, but that fact did not raise any question, or other reference, and of course the bill was full, even despite that we did not touch the food. Nobody cares here. A shame.

Nos encanta Barshu pero cada vez que hemos ido la comida se ha vuelto más salada y salada. Esta última vez, los platos que nos encantan eran demasiado salados para comer. Poco apetitoso y definitivamente malo para su salud!

Yesterday, I went with friends to Barshu Restaurant to enjoy some delicious food! This well-known Sichuan restaurant is always my go-to for gatherings! . I used to always have the braised flavor, but this time I tried the "Yuxiang" flavor. The sauce paired with the meat’s fragrance was so delicious, bite after bite, it really makes you want more. . The scallops were huge and super fresh. The vermicelli on top absorbed the garlic and scallop aroma, making it very flavorful. . The pork stomach chicken soup came in such a cool serving vessel. The chicken was tender, and the pork stomach was cleaned really well. With the addition of red dates, it was super nourishing.

I visited this restaurant with a friend, and I absolutely loved every single dish. This Chinese restaurant offers excellent hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere. While everything was fantastic, my favourite dishes were the Braised Pork Shank in Fish Fragrant Sauce—so tender, with a perfect balance of spice and sweetness. If you enjoy sweet and chilli flavours, this dish is a must-try. I also loved the Baby Cabbage in Chicken Broth, which had a delightful umami flavour that paired beautifully with the natural sweetness of the cabbage. Five stars for the food, service, and atmosphere. I’ll definitely be returning!

The food is something different here! I liked the aubergines with sesame paste! Amazing taste. Their signature chicken dish had a distinguished flavours. The chillis are defos not for eating! Felt like a puzzle when picking up the chicken pieces. The portions were quite big! The staff were amazing and very helpful. I would give 3.5 starts but no such an option. My note would be for the excess oil in food.

This is my favourite restaurant ever. I regularly go and dying to go every time. Best Sichuan food in London

The food was fine but just did not have enough mala flavours, this used to be the best Sichuan restaurant i had tried in London, but the food was toned down massively this time; to the point that I could barely taste the Sichuan pepper and chilli in the dishes. I was very disappointed when I expected a flavour explosion of numbing spice.

Delicious grilled fish paired with beer ~ I’ll try other dishes next time💕

The portions are generous, the flavors are excellent, and the braised pork knuckle is half price！

The pork knuckle is amaaazing. Portion is huge. Definitely recommend this place and the poke dishes. Great material and perfect seasoning. My absolute favorite in the China Town area💎

Great food and atmosphere, one of the most authentic Sichuan restaurants in London! My friend loved it and said it was the best Chinese food she’s had. We ordered the spicy pork shank and mapo tofu, the pork shank was huge and super tender, the meat just falls apart easily and the skin is so well cooked, usually I don’t enjoy eating fatty part of the meat but the pig skin didn’t taste fatty at all, perfect with rice. Both dishes were seasoned very well, no wonder they had Michelin stars before. Plenty of vegetarian options too (mapo tofu was under vegetarian section, not sure if the minced pork was fake meat). We couldn’t finish all the food and were very full. Highly recommend if you like Sichuan numbing spicy food.

Saw a friend recommend this restaurant online so had to check it out. So glad we did!! The portions were much bigger than expected, and incredibly tasty!! We got cumin lamb, beef ho fung noodles, pork fried noodles, vege fried rice, smacked cucumber salad, and sweet and sour soup. Staff were helpful and extremely friendly. You order by choosing/ticking on a sheet of paper, which is good for ordering whenever you’re ready. They were very busy on a Sunday afternoon, but good at turning the tables quickly for the new customers. Will go back here!

I am from ChongQing and have been living in London for over 9 years. This is the best Sichuan restaurant in London , hands down! I have been eating almost everywhere in London. Gottatry their seabass dishes, lamb ribs etc

Great place for Sichuan food, extremely consistent. The seating can feel crowded at peak hours though but super worth

Great authentic Sichuan food! We were a group of six and we enjoyed all our dishes. Our favourites were the mao cai, the spicy roast duck and the sea bass fillet. Service was wonderful - all the staff were lovely but special shoutout to the wonderful Winnie, who went out of her way to make sure we had a great evening. They even offered to wrap our takeaway boxes in cling film! Everyone left satisfied and happy - will definitely be coming again!

I rarely, if ever leave negative reviews of places but this time it is warranted. We ordered a vegetarian dish and was served a meat version by mistake. Fair enough mistakes happen. When this was pointed out they, after some time, brought a fresh version. It seems as though they only replaced part of the dish as it still had meat in it. This was totally unacceptable. Yes they took the price of the dish off the menu. It felt like a cheek to be charged anything after that. If you are vegetarian or vegan avoid this place (and similar).

In our opinion it was inedible given how spicy it was

Truly one of the best restaurants in London. The food is out of this world delicious. Two weeks after I visited, I’m still thinking about the food. Can’t wait to go back! Thank you Barshu

Pure flavors, soup no. 28 is delicious!

Chinese barshu. I’ve had it twice, always with friends. Sichuan food is not very spicy and not very greasy Anyway, my Mexican and Turkish friends like it very much. Michelin recommended list, the overall taste is okay, you can’t go wrong if you treat people to dinner, the food is served super fast The decoration is in Chinese style and the waiters are all Chinese and can communicate in Chinese.

The waitress didn’t tell us the food portion was too big or that it was too spicy. She even raised her voice when we informed her that it was too spicy.

Horrible experience. Staff that doesnt understand the cuisine with zero experience.

Everything delicious, fast service, good atmosphere

Decent Chinese food but SO SALTY. I had to down two glasses of tap water and I was still thirsty. The food isn't as good as it used to be, and the "whole fish" is actually half a fish.

Una cucina di livello, piccante ma senza esagerazioni. Spettacoloso il piatto di pollo ai tre peperoncini. Buone le verdure.

The food my husband’s family had was absolutely incredible. However, I will note for vegetarians and vegans, there is literally nothing you can eat. I mentioned I was a strict vegan and could not eat chicken powder, meat stock/broth, oyster sauce, etc. The server asked the chef if any vegetables could omit these (they all come with it even when labelled), and the chef said it was impossible. They told me the only thing I could eat was the fish, which I obviously could not eat. I was bummed about not being able to eat the food, but I’m very grateful that the staff took the time to check with the kitchen and took my request seriously, which doesn’t always happen. Bottom line, food is incredible - but vegans and vegetarians should absolutely go elsewhere!

Muy buena cocina de Sichuan con un gran ambiente y muy buen personal! Probamos un par de platos y los tamaños de las porciones eran bastante grandes y muy sabroso.

Amazing food. Good value for money.

Something was missing! There was never a smile on anyone’s face while serving or taking orders. Just felt very unwelcomed. Food was just put on the table hastily without explaining what’s beef and what’s chicken / pork? When asked the servers weren’t sure! We went here for my husband’s birthday as it is a Michelin recommended restaurant but very disappointed. Won’t go back unfortunately.

E' doveroso premettere che la cucina proposta da questo ristorante a Soho, a pochi passi da Piccadilly Circus, non ha niente a che vedere con quella solitamente offerta dai ristoranti cinesi in Italia. La cucina dello Sichuan è considerata la più piccante della CIna ma il ristorante offre ottime tapas che permettono di apprezzare una vasta gamma di sapori ma consiglio molta attenzione nella scelta dei piatti a chi non è abituato al piccante. Ottima cucina e prezzi in linea con Londra.

Riedhammer Christian, head of the TSV Kala Tennis department, goes there regularly. Will be OK.

NIce place, very busy and we had to wait a while for our booked table - we did get a compimentary drink for this though. I thought the food was good but not amazing.

I had a disappointing experience at Shui Yue Ba Shan tonight. We waited for 15 minutes, only to see four girls who arrived after us seated first. When we finally got a table, we were told we had only 45 minutes to eat. The staff preferred chatting over serving customers, and it took 5 minutes for anyone to take our order. As soon as we set down our chopsticks, they took away our unfinished food and brought the bill without us asking for it, even collecting our water. I've visited this restaurant four times before, but this was the first time I encountered such poor service. It's hard to believe this place is Michelin recommended; if I could give a zero for service, I would.

First of all, Sichuan food is really authentic😋, but today I had dinner with my boyfriend, and there was a tall and strong waitress with heavy makeup. She had a very bad attitude and a smelly face. She was really rude when she served the food and threw it away. I asked her if I wanted to add water or vegetables. He ignored it, but he was chatting with other people nearby and laughing loudly. Shuiyue Bashan is considered a Chinese restaurant in London with good hygiene, taste and environment, right? ? Can't we recruit some normal waiters? I suggest uu who want to come to eat try to avoid this waiter... The experience is terrible👎It's so annoying and I hate this job, I'd better stop doing it soon👎👎

As a Sichuan native, I declare this to be my favorite Sichuan restaurant in London! Love it! The flavors are authentic, and it’s clear the owner uses high-quality ingredients. I felt very satisfied after the meal! The service and atmosphere are great, and it's conveniently located in the city center. I highly recommend it, and I definitely will try more other dishes next time. I’m jealous that people in London for having such a delicious Sichuan restaurant! 😋

Very delicious! Highly recommend!

Amazing! Some of the best Chinese food I've had in years, massive menu with tons of options, perfect service and great location. Just be aware the spicy food can be VERY spicy 🔥

If you love Shezuan food this is THE place in London! Still craving the chilichicken...

Service is poor. Food is excellent. Extremely expensive. £50 per person without alcohol.

I've been there three or four times and the food is pretty good, but the fat and tall waitress on the second floor is really outrageous. Pouring water and pretending not to see it, serving wrong dishes and letting the guests bear the responsibility, ignoring guests who speak Mandarin, etc... It's very, very uncomfortable, and complaints have been to no avail. I really, really don’t recommend that you come here to accept the bad news. There are many other Chinese delicacies with delicious food and enthusiastic service. I've been there three or four times. The food is quite good, but the tall, heavyset waitress on the second floor is truly outrageous. She pretends not to see when pouring water, brings the wrong dishes and expects customers to deal with it , and ignores guests who speak Mandarin, among other issues. It's really frustrating, and my complaints have gone nowhere. I definitely do not recommend coming here to get upset. There are many other Chinese restaurants with delicious food and attentive service.

A fat waitress on the second floor has a very bad attitude! It's not an accident at all. My friends and I came here four or five times in a month, and every time we ran into her, we were so angry! I won't serve you if you speak Chinese. I asked for water before and was not given water. The foreigners who came after me took the initiative to pour water. This time I asked for payment and waited for more than 20 minutes. When they came, they threw the bill on the table. My friend asked her what she meant without even thinking. I replied and asked her to apologize. She said to her colleagues, "Why should I apologize to them?" But the manager on the second floor was really nice. Even when the wrong dish was served, we were charged according to the original order! Really nice~ I originally thought this meal would taste better, but it was different. It had more rude and racist ignores. It made my good mood today like a moldy pickle.

Background It is one of the few establishments in London that authentically showcases Sichuan's bold and fiery cuisine. During my time in London, it was my go-to spot for Sichuan food. Ambience The ambience is adorned with subtle Chinese artwork, adding personality to the two-floor space. Service The service is efficient, but staff could have been more friendly Food/drinks A standout dish is the spicy grilled fish, an epitome of Sichuan cuisine’s punchy yet nuanced character. Other must-try items include dan dan noodles and salt-and-pepper squid. Overall it isn’t the cheapest option in town, but the authenticity and quality of the dishes make it worth the splurge occasionally

Very tasty food, decent prices and we would return but terribly short staffed and inexperienced. We had to wait 20min for our booked table at 530pm. When we were seated, they greeted us by saying we needed to be out in 90 min but then they never gave us menus or order sheets. The food quality made up for the lack of service.

It's the king's elbow that I've been longing for, and it's true to its name. The whole thing is really big, and the four of us almost couldn't finish it. Soft and smooth, chopsticks gently peeled off the bone, the cortex part of the melt in the mouth, the meat is clear but not firewood, stewed super tasty, the soup can not be missed, promise me must be a mouthful of rice a mouthful of meat, the juice overflowing, to ensure that you eat the belly of the big round satisfaction, eat still want to eat!

☔️ London has a lot of rainy days, drinking soup is the best way to maintain health. This time I ordered pork belly chicken soup, pork belly and chicken fresh aroma are all in, the soup is refreshing but rich, drink the whole stomach are warmed up.

I have been twice to Barshu now. Both times have been amazing. I need to make a little side note that I used FirstTable for this and had 50% off the food bill with this, in that way it is a no brainer to visit this place. The quality is great, and the service is amazing and attentive. When the sun started to break out and hit our table, the waiter immediately came over to offer to pull down the blinds a bit so it wouldn't blind us. I think if you pay original price for the food, it will just do it justice. The price for the area is alright and you won't be disappointed, in comparison with some of the other Chinese restaurants in Chinatown.

When you first open the menu you will see the quote “China is the place for food, but Sichuan is the place for flavour” and as soon as we received the first dish it made so much sense. We ordered the signature grilled seabass, special fried rice and Dan Dan Noodles each dish was just so flavourful, it was spicy but addictively spicy! 🌶️ Lovely discovery in Soho!

Food was amazing. Restaurant was super cool. Service took a while. I think they were short staffed, but it happens.

Best sichuan Restaurant in town

Really nice food！quick service！authentic Chinese Sichuan cuisine

Amazing taste and service!! Well located in the heart of London China town with fascinating vibe and decoration, highly recommended for friends gathering and couple dating. Food was amazing too, very authentic Sichuan cuisine bringing you back to China with first bite!!!

Very good authentic spicy roasted fish!!! Spicy crispy and delicious 😛
