    Def one of the best Chinese in London! A great combination for party of 3 includes: garlic cucumber, green beans with mince, cumin lamb, chilli dumplings, dandan noodles and kung pao chicken + 2 rice

    One of the best Sichuan-style Chinese restaurants in London with a reasonable price. Much better than many similar restaurants in China Town.

    Awful/Laid back service but the food is great - you know you've found a good authentic spot when it's this way!

    The cucumber dish is amazing, as is the hot pot. The service is dodgy but for that hit of chilli and szechuan pepper, this is a great place to visit.

    Sea spicy aubergines, fried chicken with cumin and chilli and sliced beef in spicy oil - all amazing! House wine is good and a bargain.

    Authentic Szechwan - very tasty and full of spice. Staff seemingly couldn’t care less. Cash only

    I don't tend to like chinese food very much but this place is definitely worth a visit. The food is extremely interesting... Ears & feet to tripe, belly & intestines all with chilli +++

    Truly superb. What a find. Go for the big broth stews - we had the fish one, it was perfect.

    If you are in the area and want spice come to Chilli Cool. If you want better food go to Red N' Hot in Euston

    Don't bother giving the waiter the name or number of the dish you want, he insists on seeing the picture of every thing. Odd!

    Used to come here often about 2 years ago, came again today and the food tasted off, we couldn’t even finish half the meal, overpriced and claims that their card reader is “broken”

    The hot pot was disgusting. Paying good money to cook our own dinner in dishwater. But, the precooked food was delicious. Particularly the aubergines. Go, but choose wisely Little Grasshopper
