Sichuan Chef in Kensington and Chelsea

Ordenado para llevar y estaba delicioso. ALERGIA: Soy muy alérgica a las nueces y fueron muy amigables al respecto. No hay ningún problema. Sin embargo, recomiendo llamarlos con antelación para decírselo. Hice eso y me dijeron que marcarían la orden y tendrían mucho cuidado con ella. 100% pediría/iría de nuevo! Buena relación calidad-precio

No eres chino en absoluto, como tiene elementos como “trota-cerdos e intestinos de cerdo” en el menú. No hay artículos chinos normales, aparte de cerdo / pollo agridulce que pedimos la versión de pollo y fue muy agrio de tener que mucho jugo de piña. También tuvimos arroz frito con huevo y arroz frito especial que eran ridículamente grasosos / aceitosos y la parte más decepcionante fue el “arroz frito especial consistió en huevo, apio y cubos de grasa de cerdo no les bromeo! Mientras estábamos allí dos grupos separados se sentaron y luego se levantaron y se fueron después de mirar el menú! ¡Ojalá hiciéramos lo mismo! Casi nunca escribo críticas, pero este lugar necesita esto! Si no estuviera en una zona tan cara con un comercio turístico de paso no estaría abierta. ¡No tengo ni idea de cómo tiene la calificación que tiene aquí y sospecho que están pasando algunos negocios divertidos! ¡Te han advertido! Por último, era caro también y honestamente hubiera preferido incluso pagar un poco más y se fue hakkasan que es milessss mejor en comida y paisajes.

No te molestes, a menos que quieras comida grasienta y sosa y un malestar estomacal después. El menú es extraño y confuso, incluyendo una gran cantidad de carne de cerdo y, supongo, artículos muy tradicionales como intestinos, trotes y tripas. No para mí. Casi 100 libras por dos platos principales, dos arroces (uno de los cuales se olvidó y se trajo después de que todo lo demás se había terminado - pero todavía se cobra por! ) y algunos fideos simples y aceitosos. Como alguien que come regularmente, no tengo problemas para pagar por buena comida y servicio, pero esto no ofreció ninguno de los dos. El servicio era mediocre, por decir lo menos. Casi se sentía como si fuera un inconveniente para servirnos! Las pocas otras mesas que entraban y se quedaban después de ver el menú (había algunas que subían y salían antes de pedir! ) parecían comer y salir lo más rápido posible. Quizás este lugar es de gustos de algunos, pero después de investigar restaurantes de la zona y elegir específicamente este en base a sus críticas, decir que estoy decepcionado es una eufemismo. Desearía no haberme molestado, haber ahorrado mi dinero y mi estómago, y haberme ido a casa con hambre.

Appearances can be deceptive. From the outside it looks ordinary, but the food, service and value for money are second to none. If you are in the area definitely pop in

If you your are in the Earl's Court or Gloucester Rd. area, do NOT go to Chinatown for your meal. I should have written a review of the Sichuan Chef long ago - now, it is always our very first stop for dinner on our many visits to London. We ordered our usual: soup (me, the wonderful chicken sweetcorn soup; her, the hot-sour soup), and shared an order of Half Crispy Duck. This was a very filling and satisfying meal. Everything was delicious. And the service was excellent and very personal! All of this meal was only 40.40 Pounds, including tip! This will be #1 for all of our future London visits and I highly recommend it.

Cibo davvero buono. Ottimi dumplings ma soprattutto ottimi noodles stir fried con gamberi . Ristorante piccolo e molto semplice, non turistico

Nourriture insipide , le bouillon aucun goût, raviolis trop cuits et fades, travers de porc secs et sans sauce, riz au bacon et céleri sans assaisonnement, crevettes poivre et sel et calamar poivre et sel plutôt des beignets bien gras et sans goût….meme ressenti sur les 5 plats servis, le pire des restaurants asiatiques ou je suis allé manger Restaurant à fuir

Our starter was certainly of a better standard than the main course dishes which were distinctly lacking in flavour. The most telling thing was how many serving plates were still half full and that we didn’t ask to take the remainder home. Not awful food but very ordinary and the restaurant itself in desperate need of some TLC. Ate at Dishoon this evening, fabulous food and the bill was less!… Very dissapointing

We go to this place several times a week, and have been doing so for several years. Needless to say, we have never been let down and are simply addicted to their food. The food is flavoursome, interesting and every time something to really look forward to. The staff, both the front of the house and the kitchen, are simply fantastic and provide an outstanding service, always resulting in a great and very enjoyable experience.

We have eaten here/had übereats over the last three+ years on average three times per week (it is clearly out of control, I know!) and have no intention of changing the frequency. Their food is engaging, intense, interesting and totally addictive. It can be very full-on, but would not have it in any other way.

Très bon, mais demandez quand même le coût du service 7 pounds pour rien en plus, ça fait quand même beaucoup...sinon, excellente cuisine , authentique

Enkelt og greit. Kanskje litt enkelt. Får det du betaler for. 2 voksne og ei på 12 som er glad i Kina mat, likte gong bao scampi.

I don’t know how the review is high. But be aware this place is not good. Food is salty and unhealthy.

Finding the right restaurant in London's Chinatown is a lottery. This one was a winner in my book. We had lunch there, and even though there were many customers on that sunny September day, servoce was fast and the quality fine and matching the price nicely.

Not good ! Rice was stodgy and tasteless. We all agreed this was one of the worst Asian meals we had ever had.

Vi var 4 grabbar som åt middag här. Tog bland annat dumplings till förrätt vilka inte alls var goda, de hade en konstig bismak. Varmrätterna var helt OK. Två åt kötträtter och två åt stekta räkor. Det hade kunnat vara prisvärt om man inte tog extra betalt för ganska tråkigt torrt ris och dessutom la på en serveringsavgift på 15 procent.

Absolutely amazing food - best Chinese quinine I have had. Highly recommend and will come back. Superb!

Popped in here after our tube got stopped at Earls Court, and so glad we did! The food was so tasty and brilliant value for money. I couldn’t see the salt and pepper king prawn on the menu, but they did it for me anyway and it was the best, by far, I’ve ever had! I only wish this restaurant was more local to me!

Food was excellent and it was not busy we got table very easily just the problem with us was need to maintain quality.

Lovely meal - Looked after my girls and I. They already want to go back. They Particularly liked the spring rolls.

This is a fairly cozy place with a good range of dishes. The service is good and so is the food. It was full on a wet Monday night which speaks volumes.

This was my second visit here after about a year and I loved it just as much this time. I left a 5-star review last time too! Delicious, hot, fresh cuisine. Lovely service and generous portions at a very reasonable price. Will be back soon.

We ordered takeout. Order was ready on time and was exactly correct. We ordered fried pork dumplings 5/5, Gongbao Chicken 4.5/5, and Stir-Fried Pork with Green Peppers Black Bean 5/5.

This used to be a hidden gem around the corner Earls Court Station. I used to go there at least twice a year since the mid nineties. When the original proprietor left to go back to Chin it still lived up to my expectations. Now for today. I ate early and the place was empty but busy with take away orders. No problem for me. I had a nice table at the entrance and the service was very attentive - no problem to deliver freshly cut Chili and Chili oil. For a starter I had chili salted squid, springs rolls and cucumber salad with peanuts. While I was early the employees/family had their pre-dinner meal which made me feel quite familiar, a "Chinese feeling". The cucumber salad was a bit bland. Peanuts added to the flavour. Perhaps more Chili would serve the taste. The squid was overloaded with batter which is usually not the case with this dish. The spring rolls were quite a portion for a starter which is not their fault of course. I would have expected them to be smaller like on the foto of the menu. They were handmade, but also a bit on the bland side. For the main I had a crispy duck with pancakes and all the trimmings. That absolutely did not fulfil my expectations. The duck was absolutely on the dry side. The pancakes were not delivered in the traditional bamboo basket for whatever reason so they were cold immediately. What a pity. For the wine I had a pleasant Rioja, called Muriel, Finca de la Villas, which I can definitively recommend. The service is pleasant by no means. But I would say they definitively can do better From the menue I learned that they also serve hotpot. Perhaps I give it a try next time. I still stay optimistic with this place. I am writing this while still sitting here. I loved the place and do hope they improve.

I loved the intimate atmosphere of this small restaurant and the unusual dishes on offer. We ordered a beef and a prawn dish with the special fried rice and all three were very generous portions. The staff were friendly and efficient and the service prompt. We wouldn't hesitate to go back.

The mapo tofu and rice was good (flavorful and quite spicy), but the Kung Pao chicken was a definite miss (way too many chilies, which overpowered the rest of the dish). Decent lunch specials, but I guess only if you get a good dish to...

Revisited after a break of several years. Quiet evening. Menu very traditional including animal intestines and trotters which I avoided. Ordered several dishes including beef and chicken. Both came shredded and over cooked so very disappointed as not consistent with previous experience. Whilst virtually empty,...

Loved this restaurant, very satisfying portions, tasty, price reasonable and service is friendly(hard to find in Soho Chinatown). We ordered many plates but particularly were impressed with double cooked pork and mapo tofu (both Sichuan regional speciality) . Hot and sour soup needed a bit...

The food arrived late, probably not the restaurants fault, it arrived stone cold, maybe not the restaurants fault, it was so greasy and of such poor quality as to be almost inedible, definitely the restaurants fault…..! £51.00 binned. Horrendous meal.

The food and the service were outstanding. We had jasmine tea, the seaweed and egg soup, the Gong-bao chicken with peanuts, and the aromatic duck with pancakes. Exceptional! Every dish was light and flavourful. The staff was really kind and efficient. They have made new...

Super yummy, piping hot food. Delicious meal. Had th hot and spicy lamb with egg fried rice and noodles. A hidden gem- will be back soon. Thank u to the staff. :-)

Four of us stumbled upon this restaurant by chance. We had a selection of starters followed by 3 main courses to share. Food was delicious. We were warned to take care with some of the chillies which was good advice. One of our group got...

Not a good experience. Had no choice but to ask for food to be taken away. I love my Chinese food and maybe my expectations are sometimes a little high but this food was not good. The fried rice was tasteless and oily, looked as...

I had my weekly deposit from deliverpoo ( they keep bringing me crap) This time I decided to have Chinese..my favourite starter is salt and pepper squid or in this case ribs ...mmm crispy and tasty ...nah this deposit came from wuhan via chernobyl..it was...

We were feeling like an Asian mean and stumbled across Sichuan Chef on Deliveroo. Ordered the sweet & sour ribs, gong-bao tofu, vegetable fried noodle Sichuan style and vegetable spring rolls. The flavours were very authentic and delicious. Loved the noodles. Looking forward to restaurants...

Their hot chicken with sichuan peppers blew my mind and made my tongue numb, as it should. Really authentic Sichuan dishes. Nice staff too.

After being shut as a result of Covid-19, Sichuan Chef has somehow come back stronger and better than before. Had it twice last weekend and ready for a repeat this weekend!

Very authentic Chinese restaurant. Polite and attentive staff. Quite and peaceful. Just what you need get away from the busy earls area. I found the food extremely tasty. I will visit again.

Yes the decor maybe dated but in these days of style over substance Sichuan Chef stands out as gem of good service and excellent food. Not had Chinese food this good in London for years. Only downside is due to its popularity with the lazy...

A great place to experience genuine Chinese food. Not the most opulent of surroundings but quality and taste of food more than makes up for it. I always opt for 54.Water Boiled Tender Beef - which doesn't sound too appetising but my, what a bowl...

Ate here last week with my husband and son during weekend trip to London. We usually stay at Earls Court and when we want chinese, for example, crispy duck we have, up to now, taken the tube into China Town. Sichuan Chef's crispy duck was...

Not a luxury restaurant but food is good. Chinese people dinning inside so, there is a good. During our time here there was a lot of riders in looking for online orders. We have ordered dumplings, duck, rice, meat, noodles, water £52 two people. Quantity...

This is a very small space. It can get quite loud when full. It is worth it. The food here is fantastic. The service is good also. Awesome chicken fried rice. The fried dumplings very good.

Very good food, great service. Tried several first’s. Chinese beer was tasty, had a dish called ants on a hill, excellent.

Friendly service but more importantly very authentic Chinese food and this is coming from a Chinese! 10/10 would recommend

Despite the vast improvement of the London Chinese food scene, after 15 years in Asia (10 in HK and 5 in Shanghai)I still find it difficult to find good basic Chinese food. I'm not speaking about the way overpriced Hakkasan's and New Chinese cuisine but...

The food was delicious. Have great service. First time here and we enjoy the food and spend a great time.

Small, quaint restaurant. Not an extensive menu but quite tasty and good value for money. Conveniently located near Earl’s court station. Quick service even though very busy. Would recommend!

Went for an early evening meal with my partner who is Chinese and her daughter who is 6. We had sweet and sour prawns, pigs intestines in chefs special sauce, aubergine and pork mince, rice and some drinks. Everything tasty, cooked fresh and hot. The...

We came here due to the reviews we read ( no reservation ) and got a table quickly . The menu is not large like in many Chinese restaurants but the food we ordered was good and came quickly .

Friendly service, good price, very good portions and great selection. I had the Peking duck and it was crispy and tasty.

Fantastic, cosy restaurant with delicious food. It was very busy for a Tuesday night, we got the last free table. The menu had a few meals on it that are seen in all/most westernised Chinese restaurants (eg in UK & USA), but the vast majority...

The meals combine freshness and range with authentic flavours and presentation that we have experienced in China. Their lower wine and beer prices were a welcome change from the surrounding pubs and restaurants. The addition of friendly, happy service ensured that we will return. Worth...

I booked a table as all I had read about it inferred that it is a popular restaurant! Myself & my husband dined at 1915 on a Friday night, staff were very attentive & helpful. The restaurant itself is quite small and as a result...

although from outside it doesnt look inviting omg the food was amazing staff friendly and attentive will def return on next london visit

Absolutely delicious Chinese food! The service was amazing, we were attended to our every need. The restaurant also plays lovely soothing music.

I love sichuan food having bee introduced to the firery flavours during my time living in Hong Kong so expected a nice spicy sichuan sauce to soak into the boiled rice when I ordered Sichuan pork. I ordered it without onions or peppers. It came...

Every time I come to London I eat there. I love the preserved duck eggs. And their Prosecco. And their lunch menus. The soup noodles are great. As is the fish in hot oil. Mmmhhh. Very friendly staff, very authentic cuisine. Good quality.

A small place tucked away on a quiet street from Earls Court. Great authentic food and service is efficient and attentive.

Absolutely the best place for spicy Sichuan Chinese food. The Sichuan chicken and fish is just fantastic. I love eating here with the family on the weekend. It is consistently good. It truly satisfies my craving for good authentic Chinese food. The waiters are extremely...

We went here in November last year and decided to come back a year later, and were so glad we did! Food is amazing and so is the service! This is definitely a gem off the beaten track!

You may notice from previous reviews that I am a regular visitor to this place. Just wanted to say that the consistency of this place is fantastic. Turned up at 6.45pm and got a table no problem but by 7.15 the place was full. Hot...

We went and found the service very friendly and helpful. The food was very nice and we all enjoyed it. We saw a lot of Asian people enjoying their meal there too. Seemed authentic and worthwhile

Absolutely fantastic Sichuan restaurant. Incredible quality of ingredients, delicious dishes with plenty of Sichuan spice but not overwhelming. Start with some smashed cucumber and go from there. Don’t miss the kung pao chicken. Service is incredibly friendly. Ambience is homely and unpretentious. Most other diners...

Earls Court is lucky to have Sichuan Chef restaurant, the one with the 'waving cat' on its windowsill. The restaurant serves excellent food with just the right touches to keep it filled with customers who are mostly Asian, so you know it is a special...

Every time I passed this small restaurant I noticed that it was frequented mainly by a Chine clientele. We ( had to!!) asked for the lunch menu inclusive of a tasteless soup and had two good portions of boiled rice with Sichuan chicken ( one...

This is a great little Chinese place in earls court. The food was very good and staff were lovely...it was just a little expensive for the kind of food. i would definitely go back

When people mention Sichuan cooking, one of the first things you learn is that the food is traditionally very hot. However, this restaurant manages to walk the fine line of using chillis without compromising on flavour. Just the right amount of heat that tingles rather...

If you are like me you are standing outside the restaurant thinking 'uh huh, this can't be right. This does not look like a 4.5 rated restaurant at all.' Don't have second thoughts! Go in and yes it's is small and doesn't look like much...

Dinner tonight at this small, hidden restaurant was great! Very authentic spicy Sichuan and great service. Nice portion sizes. Give it a try if in the area.

We were staying at the Xenia hotel and we were just craving Chinese food. They have happy hour drink prices half off up till 7 pm. We arrived 15 minuets till happy hour was over and they said they would put my 2nd on ice...

I went with a friend, we’ve both lived in China. The food was great. We had dumplings, twice cooked pork, dry fried green beans and spinach with garlic. All perfect. Friendly service.

The food was very well although the atmosphere is rather simple. Friendly staff and fast service. Stop by!

Authentic food, friendly service, great location as it is one minute from Earls Court station! Being a native of Sichuan, I come frequently with family and friends. my favorite dishes: Smacked cucumber, steamed Pork and Vegetable dumpling, steamed sea bass, Sichuan Style beef (just like...

Highly recommended authentic Sichuan cuisine. Gong bao chicken and pea shoots are excellent. Very friendly staff.

Visited here for a quick evening meal whilst staying in Kensington. Service was polite and prompt. Food was very good - not like the typical Chinese 'takeaway' food. This seemed much more authentic, full of flavour and a nice level of chili heat. Particularly recommend...

Visited this place due to the good reviews. Having travelled through China I know there is a big difference between authentic Chinese food and the Chinese we tend to have in the UK. My feeling is that the food in this restaurant is quite authentic...

We've been looking for great Chinese food in London and came across Sichuan Chef. After reading the reviews, we gave it a try and weren't disappointed. The food is delicious and the service is wonderful. Our waiter was so friendly, knew all the dishes and...

Hubby searched and booked a table for Christmas eve dinner at Sichuan chef. It is located in a nice quiet alley amongst residences. We ordered a few dishes such as Sichuan bean curd for cold starter, followed by mapo chicken, mixed vegetables, Sichuan style fried...

My oh my what a find..so many special dishes..started off with a surprising jelly fish..was just amazing..service was brilliant and food to die for..i will be coming back again and again and again

Yummy and spicy Sichuan food. Delicious!! Small place with friendly staff. Food is ready very fast too.

A Chinese friend of mine brought me in this small (maybe 8 tables?) restaurant for dinner, the service was present but not annoying, the place quiet and tranquil, the spicy food amazing and very very spicy (beware of the dishes marked as very spicy), I...

We went to this restaurant for dinner totally randomly on a Sunday evening and what a great surprise! The place is cozy and the staff is very welcoming and helpful, they directed us to a bigger table as soon as it became available and talked...

Just passing by and dropped in for an early evening meal. What an unexpected treat! Extremely helpful and friendly staff guided us through an alternative menu to the same old Cantonese fare of other restaurants and what a delight. Dumplings and home made noodles,all spicy...

Once we discovered this restaurant we've been coming to this restaurant on our every trip to London. We were recently disappointed to see the change of name and ownership. However, after our wonderful meal this week, we'll continue to visit here on each return visit....

Thanks trip advisor. I went here and the friendliest Chinese I have ever been too. Food is pricey but this is central London and I was not pushed to order pricey choices. Eating on my own ment a less posh table :( but I was...

We ordered take-out for four which included the usual beef and chicken dishes. We were guided by the exceptional TripAdvisor ratings. The food was very good and like most Chinese food dinners, there was lots left got the next day. I found the prices for...

I've taken away from this place a dozen times and it's always tasty! Although it's not on their menu the beef noodle soup is the best cure for a cold/hangover. They don't always make it but worth asking. I'll continue to go here regularly.

Great food, great service 👍🏻The staff we're very helpful in choosing our meals as we were not sure what to order. Highly recommend worth the walk

Visited the place with family. All enjoyed the food, spicy if you like, less spicy if that wanted. Place does not look great from outdoors, but forget that, jump in and enjoy the food!

Small restaurant in Kenway Road, near Earls Court Station. Following discussion with waiter I chose sliced pork belly with steamed rice. Slivers of belly were served with green & red peppers in a slightly spicy sauce - very good. Reasonably priced - will return (next...

Authentic food, excellent and friendly service in modern clean premises at reasonable prices, what more can you ask

After a busy days shopping Sue and I found the lovely Sichuan Chef where we're enjoying the great well presented food with good service and atmosphere. No hesitation in recommending this restaurant.

service is good. however, the food are horrible, amount doesn't match the price, the price doesn't match the taste. As being a chinese, this is the most rubbish sichuan food i ever had in the UK. Their food just so bad. Period.

This little restaurant was a complete surprise Real authentic Sichuan food, great customer service, not expensive, a great experience. Down to earth - so very casual but don't miss the opportunity to enjoy real home cooking Sichuan style. Fantastic. ! LAdy who served us was...

For 31 years I've been eating at this place. A change of owner and chef is always a concern but I have to say that I had nothing to be concerned about. Mr Liu is a fantastic host and within minutes of sitting down in...

I have no idea whether the Sichuan food is typical as I haven't eaten it before! Every dish was tasty I particularly loved the pickled cucumber, the mushrooms and the green bean dishes. Well chillied but not too hot! A definite for a revisit.

When we first looked at the menu I thought I had been a bit ambitious. I had booked for a group of business colleagues and wasn't sure how they'd feel about a menu including pig's ears and trotters. As it turned out we had an...

We went to Sichuan Chef last weekend as it is the sister restaurant of Sichuan Folk in Liverpool Street which is one of the best Chinese restaurants in London. Sichuan Chef did not disappoint us and their food keep the same standard as Sichuan Folk,...

Little gem hidden just to the side of Earl Court's tube station. We were here for lunch. Don't let the small size scare you, this restaurant is like eating at your (Chinese) grandma! The very nice lady will explain the dishes and recommend you this...
