  “One of my go-to Chinese restaurants in London! The food is always consistently good, authentic and full of flavour. Highly recommend the spicy chicken feet, chilli rabbit and beef ribs — all super flavourful and perfect with rice. The Mao Xue Wang is also very generous with plenty of duck blood, tripe, luncheon meat and intestines. We always order the mapo tofu and dry-pot cabbage too! Great portions, authentic flavours and proper comfort food. Definitely a reliable spot when you’re craving Chinese food in London! 🌶️🥢”

  “Came here for a CNY dinner. We had Sea Bass with Bamboo Shoots and Chinese Pickle in Sour Soup, Mapo Tofu, Sichuan Boiled Beef, and Fried Chinese Sweet Cabbage with Salted Pork Belly. The boiled beef had that classic numbing-spicy flavor but it was not as punchy as i expected Honestly, it’s authentic Sichuan food and everything tasted good, but not the best i’ve had in the UK. I still prefer Shanghai Shanghai in Nottingham for that stronger flavor ★ Final rating: 3.5/5 ★ Worth trying if you’re in the area but i wouldn’t go out of my way for it 👀”

  “Really enjoyed my visit to Jin Cheng Alley. Every dish we ordered was well prepared and full of authentic flavors. The lotus leaf beef bone was the highlight, and the pig trotter soup was incredibly tender and comforting. Friendly service, generous portions, and I’ll definitely be coming back.”

  “A very authentic Sichuan restaurant. The dishes are spicy and delicious, and the desserts are also great. The spicy shrimp and tofu pudding are particularly wonderful.”

  “If you’re into authentic Chinese flavours, this spot is a must. Everything we tried was full of flavour and felt super comforting , the kind of food you keep thinking about after. The atmosphere is cosy and relaxed, perfect for catching up with friends, and the service was really friendly too. Definitely one of those places I’d come back to when I’m craving something hearty.”

  “Absolutely love this place! The food is consistently delicious and full of flavour. The fish-fragrant aubergine is perfectly balanced, and the lamb soup is rich and comforting — great with spicy dishes. Every visit ends with at least two bowls of rice. Highly recommend for spice lovers!”

  “Really tasty and authentic Sichuan food. I haven’t seen dishes like this elsewhere in London. The service was really fast. The Sichuan boiled spicy sea bass and the double cooked sliced Iberico pork were delicious. Portions were large and perfect for sharing so this ended up being a very affordable meal. Highly recommend.”

  “Tucked behind an unexpectedly beautiful façade, this Chinese restaurant is a refreshing departure from the usual. The interiors are thoughtfully designed, blending warmth with understated elegance to create a space that feels both intimate and polished. While the menu centres around Sichuan cuisine, the spice is remarkably well balanced - assertive enough to deliver depth and character, yet refined enough to remain approachable. Each dish expresses spice differently, layering heat with fragrance, texture, and complexity rather than overwhelming the palate.”

  “Reasonable size restaurant but if going before 8pm definitely need to book as it gets very busy! Large menu and range of vegetarian options. The signature noodles were massive and sooo tasty! Generous size portion and packed with flavour! The braided eggplant is another must try dish, left us wanting more! Everything we tried was delicious and would highly recommend.”
