What Mizuki F likes about Memory Or Sichuan:
This place is pretty nice and idk why the rating is so low. Food is good and fresh and nothing wrong. Friendly staff and didn’t charge a lot for service charge and takeaway boxes. Will visit again View all feedback. What reef runner's doesn't like about Memory Or Sichuan:
The restaurant was cold as only 1 heater was working and we had to sit there in our coats. Staff were cleaning around us while we were eating, spraying disinfectant and doing washing up at the bar. Not all dishes were hot, had to send back some prawns, which they then heated up in the microwave. The chilli squid tasted like the oil was old or reused and the plates they gave us were wet. We were made to feel unwelcome... View all feedback.

Found this restaurant. Served a rather authentic Chinese flavour. Will come back again.

The Memory of Szechuan in Reading offers a unique dining experience with excellent service. Despite some mixed reviews about the food, the atmosphere is retro and the staff is friendly. While some dishes fell short, such as the Szechuan food not living up to its reputation, others like the braised sirloin with potato impressed diners. The hot pot, especially the shrimp and beef lobster, was a highlight for many. The staff, particularly a handsome server, went above and beyond to ensure a fantastic dining experience. Overall, this restaurant is recommended for those looking for quality food and exceptional service in Reading.

Eating is very tasty, but I would give the service 4 stars as it is not at the level of cooking.
