Sichuan Folk

Cash only . Recommend: Gong Bao chicken (nutty & sweet), salt & pepper calamari , green beans with pork mince . Twice cooked pork and spicy lamb were tough and too spicy , and dumplings better elsewhere.

Go as a group, order multiple things and share for the best experience. The aloe vera juice goes really well with the food. Make sure to specify extra spicy if that's what you like.

What they say about the great service and the signature dumplings is true! The prawns with cashews and the braised aubergines in soy sauce are delicious.

The Mapo Tofu was delicious as was the fish fragrant aubergine . Great service. I’ll be back to try more of the menu

Sichuan Folk serves up some of the best Szechuan food in London. The spicy pork buns , and the dumplings are highlights, but if you're a large party, go for the hot pot with all the trimmings.

Authentic Sichuanese cuisine in central London! everything was delicious especially the Ma Po Tofu (麻婆豆腐). Highly recommended.

Dumpling sauce is good. The skin can be thinner but overall it's very tasty. Ma Po tofu is also yummy.

Great for “real” Chinese food in the Sichuanese style. Vegetarians ask for mapo tofu or sea-spiced (yu-shiang) aubergine but be sure to ask for them without meat. Give the cloud ear fungus a try too!

Being out hang for Chinese food for so many time, this time is the most wonderful, big amount of food and excellent service

Everything is delicious. Particular thanks to the fantastic waiter who guided a few of our party who didn't fancy the more adventurous dishes through the menu.

Authentic Sichuan food . Get the mapo tofu , dongbo pork knuckle , and spicy oil fish . The manager is super friendly and will give u great suggestions too.

Excellent hot pot and the service was amazing! Not rushed like other Chinese restaurants !

Very authentic Sichuanese food. Service was fast and efficient. We particularly enjoyed the mapo tofu and beef with pickled chillies!!

Get recommendations from the waiters , they really guide well . Tofu with tofu skin was disappointingly bland, spicy cucumber starter was surprisingly delicious, portion sizes are really big.

I got a take away from those guys just because of the dumplings , which were great! However, I was slightly disappointed with my Beef with Pickled Chili - very greasy and in my opinion..overpriced.

Cheap and cheerful Chinese just off Spitalfields. Very authentic . The signature dumplings are a must.

fantastic food and very friendly polite and hospitable staff . highly recommended

Delicious dumplings . Good service - and not just for a Chinese restaurant !

Great food! Just get there before 2:30pm for the lunch special .

Food is superb and reasonably priced, a real treasure just off brick lane

Instead of smashed cucumbers in garlic sauce please expect just sliced cucumbers in sauce made of chili paste . Helpless.

Usually cash only but one of the few real authentic Chinese restaurants in London.

PROPER Chinese food . Tasty food. Good service . You can't really go wrong.

Lunch menu for 7 quid and you get a seat and service

Amazing dumplings . Great authentic Chinese food .

Some of the best dishes I’ve had in London, amazing stuff

Good mapo tofu (request extra spicy ) and decent green beans .

Whole grilled fish - dumplings and crab are amazing!

Good hot pot with spicy broth and plenty of Sichuan peppercorns .

Authentic Chinese food . Dare the real spice! Enjoy!

Leave the ordering to the waiters . Unbelievably nice service and great food!

This place is not helping my diet! Food is sooo good I dream of it at night.

I can recommend the Sichuan folk cold chicken appetiser but you will have to take the bad service with it ... They will try to hard sell you additional dishes and give then mini rice portions.

Have the dried spiced beef appetizer - a jerky-like treat to prep your palate.

Tried 4 things and they were all very tasty

helpful staff and amazing Szechuan-style food.

Great dumplings , great everything!

The shell-on prawns are fantastic

Signature dumplings , twice cook pork . fried green beans were the best.

Don't hesitate to ask the waiter for advice when hesitating.

Ask the waiters for tips on more authentic off-menu dishes. They are wonderfully keen to impress.

Authentic food good service

Found the food both 1) too oily and 2) not spicy enough.

Chinese authentic food

the signature beans are so decent

Lunch special - fried stuff with rice and 'free' soup for £5.50

dumplings and green beans !

Don't go there, service is as lame as the food. We had hot pot and was expensive and just oil on oil. I'm 100% sure that the positive comments are not real.

this place is legit
