Sichuan Palace

Good for the price
Can smoke inside 👍

The food is okay. The place is kinda small.

We found 2 cockroaches! One was inside the Pakchoy plate serving and another one was during our meal came from under the table.. the surprising part was the staff response; the lady servant seems unbothered with that and another guy who seems like their manager or smg, he said “ooh, it still another 2 days time for our pet control to come..” wth…. Definitely will never return to the restaurant…..

Went here on a Tuesday afternoon, nearly empty except for one other person. We were a party of two.

Atmosphere : meh okay, nothing special but there are a lot of mosquitoes, mind you that this is 12.30 PM. 5/10

Service : nothing special, i had heard of bad reviews regarding the service but it's just meh. 7/10

Food : food is okay, it's pretty good. We had the malaxiangguo, you have to order from a separate menu, no yen sui. You have to order it separately for an extra 58 or 68k. Nothing special from the malaxiangguo. 6/10. Portion sizes are also okay, considering the price. It should have been bigger

Price : we ordered pork belly, 2 maling meat, a fishball, pokchoy, 1 egg noodle.2 ice teas. Costs us 501.000. CRAZY PRICES for such cheap ingredients.

I don't get why other people don't mention the crazy prices for the alacarte hotpot/malaxiangguo. If you had ordered the AYCE it might have been a better deal.

We had actually been put off by the prices but we wanted to try the place so we gave it a shot, but oh boy what a waste of money.

Except for the crazy prices, this place has decent food i guess.

4/10. Will not come back. Ever.

Ordered :
Beef Mapo Tofu 5/5
Perfect! Love the taste.

Malaxiangguo 5/5
The best malaxiangguo i ever ate in Jkt.
The taste is similar with malaxiangguo from China.

Buttt....very expensive
Total bill 480k for 2 people.

Regular patron of Sichuan Palace at PIK and Gajahmada. The food is always excellent.
However, the management must improve the queueing system during peak hours, i.e., Saturday or Sunday evening.
I was dining at Sunday night and about 80% done. By then, some diners are already standing by my table side. That is very unpleasant experience and was completely a turn-off.
The restaurant should impose the rules that all patrons should only queue/wait in the designated area, not wandering into the restaurant and disturbing other dinners.
Very disappointed!

The queueing system has improved considerably. So now, it is solely on the food. The most authentic Sichuan style restaurant you can find in town.

The COVID protocols are imposed. Traffic has improved but has not reached pre-COVID level.
It is a good place to enjoy icy cold beer accompanied by spicy and crispy Chongqing Laziji (重庆辣子鸡).

one of the best malatang in town,
authentic taste, a bit pricey 249k for ayce, and tbe beef quality is not that good, but totally worth

Nice sichuanese cuisine, but hella spicy and quite expensive as a chinese food. Portion is good for sharing.
