Ermei Sichuan Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

Very authentic Chinese sichuan food. The spicy level can be adjusted which I was looking for a level up spicy and it did very well.

The first Chinese food I had when traveling to London was very delicious. The pickled fish was delicious, the squid was also delicious, and the griddle-pot sausage was also very delicious. Very good!

It is Superrrrrr tastyyyyyyyyy :))) and I will definitely come again and aging. A hundred -percent-recommended restaurant to go :) located in china town, super nice location.

The stir-fried dishes are delicious, the fried squid is authentic, and the mapo tofu goes well with rice. It is a very delicious Chinese restaurant and I will bring friends here again next time.

Tasty food, authentic Chinese restaurant to dine in China town with friends. Will definitely visit again sometime soon!! Highly recommended.

Very delicious and great atmosphere! Recommend the fat intestines, salted crispy rolls, griddle chicken, fried shredded potatoes, pickled fish, and mapo tofu. They are all very authentic!

Wow! So Tastyyyyyyyyyy!!! Very delicious!!! It’s so delicious! I will definitely invite friends and bring 30 people over to try it! !

The food in the store is very delicious, the shape is very beautiful, and the aroma is very unique. It is the most delicious food I have eaten. I will come to this place again in the future.

Great place with great Chinese Sichun style food in the Chinatown. A must go! We ordered a signature dishes including bamboo steamed pork steak, boiled beef, and both are very nice.

Good food in a nice setting. Great location. Ordered 辣子鸡 （spicy numbing fired chicken, could be spicier ) and Garlic Eggplant (a little too sweet) , and Dan Dan Noodle. Thanks to the management for the soy milk for the review.

A zero would be more appropriate. My 'fragrant chicken' main course consisted of minute particles of overcooked crumbs (possibly containing chicken dust) and, what seemed to be, finely diced linoleum. My wife's noodle dish was tasteless and lukewarm. The staff obviously recognised us as single-visit tourists and were totally disinterested. AVOID.

The environment is very nice and the taste is top notch. Chestnut chicken is delicious

Overall we had a good meal at Er Mei. The ambience inside is nice. We had a booth bench seat which was comfortable. The table is nicely set with a white tablecloth. The background music was louder than I would have liked, but not so much that you couldn’t have a conversation. We ordered Dan Dan noodle in a broth, which was a new take on the dish I hadn’t had before. The broth could have been hotter when served, but was flavorful. We also got spicy sweet fried aubergine. It was flavorful, perhaps a bit too sweet, but solid overall. The final dish was the fried spicy chicken (la zhi ji). This one was solid. Personally I would have loved all the dishes to be slightly hotter with more numbing spice, but that is a minor quibble. Thanks to the management of the restaurant who gave us a free soy milk in exchange for reviewing the restaurant.

Food is OK, portions are quite generous. As is often the case in Chinese restaurants in Soho, 12.5% is already added to the bill for service but this element of the cost is not displayed on the very uninformative bill one receives. Instead, if paying by card, one is invited to add a tip by the machine: they seek to gouge a tip on top of a tip!

I ordered sweet and sour pork and pickled fish, and the store gave me a cup of milk tea for free🥰🥰This kind of authentic Chinese restaurant is really needed in the UK. I am really happy to eat the taste of hometown, and the store staff can communicate in Chinese, which is very convenient!

The dishes are rich, the service attitude is good, and the dishes are served quickly. The dishes are not expensive and the portions are large. I recommend everyone to try it.

The location is great and the ingredients are fresh. There are many kinds to choose from and the dishes are generous. Hygiene is great!

Excellent Szechuan restaurant with a really packed and hard-to-choose-from menu. We ended up ordering some cold black fungus, some morning glory with garlic (fantastic), a grouper cooked in spicy broth (fiery but delicious, and so much of it) and pig kidney (so flavourful!). Heat level is high, but we’re accustomed and thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Nice service with some friendly banter. Recommended!

Roast duck with pancakes, Szechuan chicken and rice were good. The pumpkin dessert is good too when they have it in stock. Hot and sour soup wasn't good. Clean and modern looking place. Service is brusque but no different to elsewhere here. They did tell me that service charge wasn't included which was not true sadly!

Been here twice and the food is very nice!!

Three brushes, chestnut chicken, many soups, sufficient taste, tender chicken, very unpleasant. The spicy fat intestines are clean and clean, but the oil is too ruthless, and the taste is crispy instead of elastic teeth. Mapo tofu is delicious. Drinks sent by the event are good.

Great proper Chinese food! I had a portion of dumplings and a crispy duck with thin steamed pancakes and it was all delicious, I will come back to try more specialities, thanks for the good service too!

Super good. Very fancy Sichuan Restaurant. The food here today is delicious and the service attitude is also very good. I am very satisfied. I hope to come again next time!

Wonderful place for hot and spicy food in winter!

The restaurant environment is clean and tidy. The portions of the dishes are generous, especially the pickled pepper beef and twice-cooked pork, which are spicy yet delicious, and the rice is also quite fragrant.

Fresh, beautiful food and friendly service

Wow, I’ve been in London for so long and it’s my first time coming to this place! The pickled pepper bullfrog is so tender and tangy—I just loved it. The spicy chicken is bursting with flavor and the perfect level of spice! The milk tea is also smooth and refreshing. I’m definitely coming back for more!😆😆

I ate there on the night of November 10th and it tasted okay. But today I started to suffer from food poisoning after eating their delicious fungus. I had vomiting and diarrhea.

The food was really tasty, although a bit salty but still liked it. We got the small dan dan noddle soup, morning glory and pork belly. The service is really nice and fast. I would recommend!

Expensive and bad food, the best was the rice

SERVICE CHARGE SCAM!! Be careful. They will try to charge you service charge TWICE. This is the second time they have tried this. You ask for the bill and they provide a poorly written piece of paper with a number. I got them to confirm 3 times that service charge is not included. I then said I would only pay if they provided a printed list of items with prices. They were easily able to get this from the till. This showed they had already charged for service charge. AWFUL!!!!

Very nice food and perfect level of spice for those spice seekers~

Good tasting foods. Not too spicy as Shicuan food.

SERVICE CHARGE SCAM!!!! Be careful here they will try to charge you service charge TWICE. This is the second time they have tried this on me. You ask for the bill and they provide a hand written form with just a price. I specifically asked does that include service charge they said NO. I asked the manager she said NO. So I requested the full breakdown of all what we ordered and service charge was already included. I will never return. WATCH THESE PEOPLE

After studying the endless restaurants of Chinatown, we ended up pushing the door of this establishment which apparently made no mistake, once inside the atmosphere transports you to the Sichuan region in China!!! For the dishes and in terms of "spicy" you are served, the chicken was succulent, like all the other dishes, the service is fast and organized, the bill is well deserved...

Lovely food, efficient dine-in service. Definitely one of my favourite Chinese restaurants in London.

The spicy chicken at Er Mei s outstanding! The chicken is perfectly cooked, with tender, juicy pieces coated in a sauce that's both fiery and flavorful. The heat level is just right—not overpowering, but enough to give it a satisfying kick. If you love bold, spicy dishes, this one is a must-try. Highly recommend for spice lovers! The staff is welcoming and attentive, creating a warm atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

You will like it for sure if u do like spicy foods. The portions are huge and the service from the little brother and big sister is great. I’m addicted. It’s a great experience. I’ll come back next time.

It’s delicious😋, the portion doesn’t look big, but it’s very filling and satisfying. It's really cold right next to the door. They wrote menus, helped with reviews and delivered drinks, but in the end nothing was delivered.

Thé food was horrible. We started the plates but we couldn't finish them because it was so disgusting. Plus it was very expensive.

Came here last night. Food was decent and the place was full of Asians - which is a normally a good sign, though not cheap. When settling up, the waitress asked if I wanted to contribute a tip (even though 12.5% service charge is added). I asked them to clarify if service charge was already added, to which the waitress replied that they don’t receive a share of the service charge fee. And as it happens, since this month (Oct 2024) it’s now a legal requirement for service charge to go to staff. So my gripe is probably more to do with management - unless the waitress was fibbing as a way to squeeze me!

The aroma is fragrant, and the taste is fresh and layered. You can feel the unique spicy flavor of Sichuan cuisine in every bite, and it goes very well with rice. The spinach soup is refreshing and relieves greasiness, and adds a refreshing touch to the rich Sichuan cuisine. Both dishes were unforgettable.

The Sichuan-flavored beef is very spicy and delicious. The spinach soup base is made of preserved eggs and Sichuan peppercorns. It tastes very fragrant and the vegetables are very tender. The white rice is a huge bowl. Recommended for those who stay here 👍🏻

They are acting rude to delivery riders.

Set menu A was good with the crispy duck and pancakes included for over 4 people.

I tried this restaurant 10 years ago and did not return as I thought food was pretty average. Having seen the good reviews here last night I decided to go back as I thought it might have improved. I ordered the grilled fish and did not even bothered to take a proper picture. Sea bass was small and very chewy and the chilli sauce is just salty, diluted and very much lack of flavour at £38. I think Jingli in Chinatown still serves the best grilled fish (last tried a year ago). I do not dine at Chinatown much these days as most restaurants have gone downhill and become very expensive. It is obvious especially comparing the fresh fish/ingredients served in restaurants like Wright Brothers to what I had at Er Mei…huge difference in quality.. ridiculous. Will never trust the review here and return to this restaurant ever.

Spicy chicken, boiled beef and dry pot cauliflower are highly recommended! literally my best Sichuan Chinese restaurant in London!

Always our go-to Sichuan restaurant in Chinatown. Always so so good!!

The food is very authentic. It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten such authentic Sichuan food overseas. This time I tried the fish-flavored shredded pork and Maoxuewang. Will try other dishes next time

Very delicious authentic dishes! We wanted spicy and oily and that‘s what we got.

First time here, as we don't go to London often. My wife is Chinese, and I've been to China several times, and eat Chinese from the wife all the time We both agreed, the food was very good, and we had enough left over for a doggy bag We had sea spiced aubergine, water boiled beef, ma po tofu, fried noodles with beansprouts, and spicey fragrant chicken The beef was very soft, and the chicken was so crispy Will definitely be coming here again

Because I had children, I didn’t order spicy food. The spring rolls are fried well, very crispy, and the short ribs taste very European and American, with an orange flavor. The local three delicacies are very hometown, the others are so-so

First time to come, but find a little bit disappointed. Not really fresh meats, fair service.

It's delicious ~I like Sichuan traditional cuisine, the spicy chicken is the best. 🥵🥵The drinks are good too, the milk tea here is not very sweet (most milk tea in the UK is too sweet for me)

The spinach soup is very sweet and delicious! The spicy chicken is delicious! The pumpkin pie is soft, glutinous, sweet and crispy on the outside! Come to eat next time!

Amazing food and service so friendly / warm - best in chinatown!

Nice atmosphere and the food is not bad! Tried some spicy pork rib soup and it’s quite tasty! The staff is also friendly. The pricing is average.

Excellent blend of flavours, thoroughly recommend. Best enjoyed in larger groups, dining family style.

The first time I got off the plane, I came to Emei immediately. The quantity is huge and affordable, and the dry-pot pork intestines are top-notch, and they are still so delicious! There is now an event to give out milk tea, please like 👍!

Very good and delicious food here!

I came here to eat with friends and ordered bullfrog, chicken pot, green beans, and dandan noodles. It was really authentic and I basically finished them all. Highly recommend the bullfrog, very spicy.

The best Chinese restaurant that I visited with my husband in the city of London, we visited it twice and both nights we left satisfied.

I have been eating Chinese rice quickly since I came to London for 2 weeks. It is very delicious👅, delicious, quite spicy🫡🫡🫡, the price is not bad, and it is very delicious! ! ! ! Miss the taste of home wwwwwww

Ordered rajogi and mapo tofu fried rice. Very delicious! Rajogi is a bit salty, but it’s okay to eat with fried rice! A delicious mapo tofu restaurant!

The food was good, the reason this is not a lower score. Our service was below expectations. It was weird but still slightly understandable that they have a minimum spending of £15 for each person, but the attitude of not informing us first and then straight up turning his back and said no like about to kick us out, was some bs. Next time perhaps practice on your communication skill a bit more before someone actually walks out. Maybe you don’t care, but keep practicing like that, you might have to care one day.

The service was so so bad, staff were rude

The food is great! It actually tastes really, really good! Really authentic Chinese food like this is really hard to find. The portions are such that it fills you up very well. A service charge will be added to the invoice. That's totally normal. It's also in the menu and you know what's going on. But it was strange to me that afterwards they explicitly and repeatedly asked for a tip. I thought that was included in the service charge…. but it is not. The service charge is there for everyone and you should give an extra tip for the waitress... we did that. But if you do that, you simply have to add 25% to the actual price. Still, it's worth it because it's really delicious! 🖖🏽

We were waiting in a queue and some known people (to them) came who got priority. The strange thing is they didn't have a booking as they asked us the waiting times. It is a true example of favouritism. The receptionist was very rude as we caught her lie. I will not recommend it as we should stop promoting these kinds of acts. I wish I could leave a review lower than this Sorry, I'm really disappointed.

Very good food, even for me where I love our Polish cuisine, I recommend set B

Wonderful food. We went two nights in a row, which is a big endorsement considering the variety of options in London. Delicious hotpot and entrees.

The jewel of London's Chinatown. Sichuan food is very spicy and can be spicy, for those who like it, this place is exquisite. Non-spicy options are also good.

Excellent, authentic spicy Chinese food. I’ll be back and bringing friends.

Great place for dinner in China town!

Very delicious, spicy Szechuan food and v helpful waitstuff. The ambience was very nice too. Would recommend!

the food came so quickly and it was so good and authentic !

Sichuan cuisine is very delicious, even better than restaurants in China. All of the various menu items were delicious, and the mapo tofu mixed with rice was also very delicious. This is a spicy Sichuan restaurant that I definitely recommend to anyone who goes to London's Chinatown.

Pretty nice place, but I wasn’t lucky to have a really dry chicken in breading. It was so dry that my jaw hurt from chewing it. I don’t want to come back but I hope other food should be good, because I see a lot of pleased people there. Payed 20£ for big portion of chicken and a bowl of rice

The food is very good, the rice is delicious, the restaurant environment is also very good, the service attitude is also very good, the drinks are also great, a great experience

First, I like the serving lady here! She’s very friendly and constantly asks if we like the dishes. Dish-wise, recommend their “Numb & spicy fish”, and the starter “drooling chicken” that is spicy and savoury, perfect company for rice:))

Amazing Sichuan cuisines! Try the grilled fish, trust me a Sichuan girl! The golden round hooves and hairy blood are also awesome😋

Wow, I’ve been in London for so long and it’s my first time coming to this place! The pickled pepper bullfrog is so tender and tangy—I just loved it. The spicy chicken is bursting with flavor and the perfect level of spice! The salted egg yolk shrimp balls are crispy and creamy, just amazing. The milk tea is also smooth and refreshing. I’m definitely coming back for more!😆😆

We had 4 people, but we didn’t have to wait for the table for too long. The food was very good with perfect amount of spiciness. The dishes are fairly priced and discounted dishes were also very good😉 It’s a perfect spot for Chinese food with friends! 🤩🤩

Er Mei Sichuan is a great spot for tasty, spicy food. The flavors are bold, the dishes are delicious, and the vibe is laid-back. Perfect for a fun meal with friends!(人 •͈ᴗ•͈)♡☆there are half price dishes, there are good.

Even on a weekday evening, there was a wait of about 10 minutes. 4 people ordered 4 menu items and paid about £20 per person. The stir-fried eggplant was especially sweet and delicious 👍 I think people who like spicy food will like it ☺️☺️

Excellent lunch here, and the best service we've had so far in central London. Tasty, quick and reasonably priced with good portion sizes. Spent about £22 each on a couple beers and a starter, main and rice to share. We had the pork and prawn wonton soup starter, and we recommend the stir fried beef with chilli and peanuts. The beef is crispy on the edges and tender in the center 😋

Beware ⚠️ They over charge you if you don't double check your bill. When the bill comes it's the total amount and not the breakdown. I only realized later that my bill shouldn't have been this much for what I ordered.

Disappointed. The seating is uncomfortable. The service was very cold and unfriendly from the beginning. They somehow forgot half of the order, and we waited 10 minutes for several rice bowls with the meat already on the table. I ordered standard rice while they brought me egg-fried for double price (which looked more like boiled with mixed eggs). They didn't accept the complaint. When we asked to pay, the waitress started to immediately remove the table cloth before us, uncovering the mess under it. Seriously? The 12% service charge is mandatory even though we asked that we do not want to pay it.

Emei Yipai's Sichuan cuisine is absolutely remarkable! The Golden Pork Knuckle was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and perfectly balanced, leaving you wanting more with every bite. The Mao Xue Wang had just the right level of spice, with a rich flavor and perfectly cooked ingredients that made it truly satisfying. The restaurant has an elegant ambiance, and the staff are warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. Whether it’s the quality of the dishes or the overall dining experience, it’s top-notch and a must-visit for Sichuan food lovers!

recommend! The Sichuan restaurant in Chinatown is very authentic and tastes good The service is also good. The environment is bright and clean. Recommended to come.

Good service, the price is reasonable. Around £20-30per person. Taste is fantastic, especially spicy food. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to eat spicy food.

Very nice sichuan food and great restaurant, taste so good. Highly recommend the fortune soup and milk tea. Service is excellent and very friendly. Will recommend to my friends and try other dishes next time.

absolutely amazing food and service was great too - will certainly be returning :)

Absalutely lovely, definitely coming back. Had hot pot for two, the broth was so full of flavour and all the ingredients were tasty. The sitting area was comfortable and staff were very helpful. Food arrived quickly in no time. Wet facilities were clean and tidy.

The Sichuan restaurant in Chinatown is easy to find, has a lot of menu options, and the waiters are very enthusiastic. I ordered grilled fish, and there were quite a few side dishes in it, and you can add other side dishes.

Mala grilled fish. The fish is mackerel so very distinctive flavor. Nice if you like mala food. Not that spicy.

Good restaurant with good decorations and good food. Grilled fish is awesome. Would like to come back

Walked in on Monday, and the atmosphere was nice. Mildly spicy instant hotpot tasted like not very spicy but flavorful. It costed us more than 40 pounds and I didn’t think it was worth the value.

Highly recommend for this restaurant in Chinatown, delicious food and nice services. My favourite dish is steam pot, they have got many selections I can choose. The environment is really good as well, very mindful, very demure.

I recently dined at Er Mei and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment you walk in, you are greeted by a warm, inviting ambiance that perfectly blends modern elegance with traditional Chinese decor. The staff were attentive, friendly, and eager to accommodate any request. The menu offers a wide variety of options, from classic dishes to more adventurous choices, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Portions are generous, and the presentation of each dish shows great attention to detail. Overall Er Mei provides a dining experience that is both authentic and innovative. Whether you’re looking for a casual meal or celebrating a special occasion, this is the place to go. I will definitely be returning soon!

The grilled fish is huge and tastes great
