The Sichuan Restaurant

"The Sichuan is a big Chinese restaurant on the City Road that’s made for banqueting. This isn’t a let’s-go-and-grab-something-together place for just you and your mate. This is an en-masse kind of restaurant. ‘Wontons and dumplings everyone, yeah? Dan dan noodles? Yeah that mapo tofu looks good. And the Sichuan beef?’. You get the idea. The Sichuan gets pretty busy, day and night, so it’s worth calling ahead." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"Cold, overwhelming, brutalist—those are all words we’d use to describe both the Barbican’s architecture and ourselves before 8am. But we’d never use any of those words to describe The Sichuan on City Road. To get the most out of this big, family-feel Chinese restaurant, come with a group. That way you can order everything from wontons to Sichuan beef to braised pork belly. Plus, if you’ve been looking for a way to get your mate who considers Keith Lemon to be the defining artist of our generation to come and see an actual exhibition with you, The Sichuan’s dan dan noodles are a compelling argument." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
