What Linda Michelsen likes about Sichuan House:
One of the best hidden gems in all of Melbourne!! I love it here! Can’t go past their spicy beef with the crispy coated lotus root pieces. The flavours really pack a punch with the Sichuan kick. A Melbourne institution. View all feedback. What Maureen C doesn't like about Sichuan House:
Had heard rave reviews of the cumin ribs spicy dishes. Ribs were such a let down. Deep fried then covered in an overly salty cumin mixture. Sweet sour pork had a number of pieces that were just the batter with no pork filling, Kung pal chicken was truly the most disappointing. When the peanuts are larger than the chicken pieces there’s a problem. Couldn’t really find much chicken in the midst of the nuts other bits. View all feedback.

Excellent food, fast service, reasonable price. I had pepper beef, wife had kung pao prawns. Both were tasty, spicy, complex, and delicious. Highly recommended.

If you enjoy sweating and getting down and dirty to Szechuan cooking, may I introduce you to my all time favorite Szechuan restaurant in Melbourne, Sichuan

This Sichuan restaurant in Melbourne has received mixed reviews from customers. While the food is praised for its authentic flavors and spice levels, there are some concerns about the service and atmosphere. Some customers have experienced long wait times and unprofessional behavior from the staff, while others have enjoyed the no-frills dining experience and value for money. The portion sizes are noted to be large, so be prepared to take home leftovers. Overall, this restaurant is recommended for those who enjoy spicy Sichuan cuisine, but be aware of possible issues with service and facilities.

The place to go if you like spicy food but even anti-spicy people will find delectable dishes to share. The menu isn't always clear on which is spicy or not.
