Unique nice food. Fresh hot, well served. Large portions. Try the curiously tasty chicken...and any of the special rices. I will be back to try more

Got a private room, good furnishing but sparsely decorated. As expected of a Michelin star place food was excellent though serving nornal for a Chinese restaurant. Lots of dishes, portions a bit small compared to nearby area. Pork belly in clay pot with sour veggies was way too salty, the only dish most at the table didn't like or finish. Mapa tofu a bit overcooked. Ice cream with mochi ears was nice finish.

Really a gem.
Be careful not to over order.
Dumplings are fantastic.
Spicy fish is great and easily for two. String beans where supper.

This place is a fantastic Sichuan restaurant! 🍴 Cafe China 🇨🇳 offer a fantastic selection of authentic Chinese dishes! 🍽️ Definitely try the Pork 🐖 Buns, Shumai dumplings 🥟, Kung Pao Chicken🐔 (be warned that this and most of the entrees are spicy 🥵). Staff 👨‍🍳 is friendly, welcoming, and professional! Service is quick and the ambience 🎶 is wonderful! The place is beautifully decorated. 🛋️ I wish I knew about this place earlier!

Good place, with many tasty food options. I’ve tried pretty much everything on the menu. I must say that I recommend the stewed beef short ribs over some rice. It’s very good. It’s kind of small inside and very busy, but the service is very quick. Definitely will want to make reservations.

Amazing Sichuan cuisine. No wonder the restaurant has a Michelin star. Food was very good , service was very quick , waiters and waitresses were very polite. Will visit again.

Dan Dan Noodles - 7/10
These noodles had great flavor and a nice chewy texture but it wasn’t spicyy. I’m glad they have non spicy options for those who can’t handle the heat, but I think the spice was really needed to pull the dish together.

Spicy Fish Fillet Box - 9/10
I wasn’t super hungry when I ate here and the food was still delicious! The coating was flaky and crispy while the fish was soft. It definitely gave me the kick I was craving and they did not skimp out on the portion. The chinese cucumber were okay, and the dumpling I could have done without.

Came here looking for an authentic Sichuan dining experience and certainly wasn’t let down. Ambience was great but since we were moved up to their upper floor it did seem a bit crowded at times. Apart from that, however, the food was delicious, perfectly spicy and flavorful. Hugely recommend the fish and three pepper chicken.
