China Sichuan occupies a surprisingly elegant space in Sandyford, offering a refined take on Sichuan cuisine. The restaurant immediately impresses with its generous interior, where there’s genuine breathing room between tables. The atmosphere strikes a balance between sophisticated and comfortable, making it suitable for both business dinners and relaxed weekend meals. The service deserves particular praise. Staff members are attentive without being intrusive, striking that difficult balance of being present when needed but never hovering. They’re genuinely courteous and seem to take pride in the restaurant, offering helpful suggestions when asked and checking in at appropriate intervals. It’s clear the team has been well-trained and actually cares about the dining experience. The menu itself is thoughtfully curated, featuring dishes that will satisfy discerning palates. Rather than overwhelming diners with endless options, China Sichuan focuses on quality over quantity. The selection spans from prawns to duck, with excellent chicken and sole options for those preferring milder flavors. Notably, there’s a dedicated gluten-free menu with a generous selection of items, a welcome consideration for diners with dietary requirements. This thoughtful approach ensures everyone can enjoy the full range of flavors without feeling limited to one or two token dishes. Portion sizes hit the sweet spot. You’ll leave satisfied but not uncomfortably full, which feels refreshing. Each dish arrives properly plated, and the portions allow you to enjoy multiple courses without feeling obligated to roll yourself out the door afterward. The quality of ingredients shines through consistently. Everything tastes fresh, and the kitchen demonstrates a light touch with seasoning, where flavors are clean, distinct, and genuinely delicious. The dishes showcase the natural flavors of prawns, duck, and fish, enhanced rather than masked by the cooking technique and spice combinations. Even the desserts merit attention. They’re distinctive and flavorful, steering clear of generic offerings. While portions might be slightly smaller than some would prefer, it’s hardly a significant issue, particularly after a proper meal. The desserts feel like a genuine conclusion to the dining experience rather than an afterthought. The main drawback is practical rather than culinary: parking in the area is limited. If you’re driving, plan to arrive with extra time to find a spot, or consider alternative transport options. It’s an unfortunate reality of the location rather than anything the restaurant can control. China Sichuan proves that Chinese cuisine can be both authentic and refined, satisfying serious food lovers without alienating those seeking approachable dishes. The combination of spacious surroundings, attentive service, quality ingredients, and thoughtful cooking makes it worth the trip to Sandyford, just sort your parking situation first.

The empty containers should say it all 😂 We are visiting from the states and decided on this place based on the reviews. It's not big for eating in, everyone else was picking up take-away and the staff seemed surprised that we intended to eat in. Apparently we walked into the to-go side and not the sit-down restaurant so that was our mistake. But there are a few tables and a barstool height counter round the edges and the staff were so accommodating when they realized we were firm on staying. I had the ginger and scallion prawns with fried noodles and my partner had kun-pow chicken with steamed rice. The food came out within minutes and there was nothing left, as you can see from the picture. Everything was hot and delicious and I would definitely come back!

Fabulous restaurant, professional service, impeccably clean and wonderful food. Need I say more.....

The food here is exceptional. This is a must visit for anyone looking for delicious, high quality Chinese cuisine. It's a lovely place to dine though it can get a bit noisy at times.

Pros: Food were fresh + Pan fried Prawns with Scallion portion was enough for two but had no sauce + Chicken with Cashew Nuts was delicious + Welcome chips and pickle was good + Nice staff + Vegetarian Dumplings was tasty + Maximilian Twix dessert was perfect Cons: Food could have more flavor and sauce + There was no sauce on the table by default

Small portions, high prices, nice decor, clean restrooms

Very good Chinese restaurant. Excellent service from the moment you arrive, we were there on a Thursday evening and it was hopping but the service was still very attentive. Very broad menu with loads of options. Everything was very good, spicy does mean spicy there! Also excellent beer, serving Fischers on draft, and a very good wine list. Will definitely be back.
