I do however think it's more worthwhile going down the road to diamond cafe for their fried chicken pieces. It's not one huge slab of meat (actually that would probably make you feel less guilty then) but just so much better. The thing though that really made this a 3 star rating was the fried mushrooms. Avoid avoid! Especially if you've had them in Taiwan. This is not the real deal! I was so disappointed with them. I just ate them for the sake of not wanting to waste food. Probably the worst reason to eat.

I think I'm at the wrong place. My trusty phone tells me I…read moream 3 metres away from Red Chilli Szechuan Restaurant but it also says I am 22 metres away from Red Chilli Szechuan Restaurant. I was trying to go to the one Dave reviewed but I couldn't find it so I rang the phone number and they just yelled at me me, the only thing I understood was 'number 8!' which I just assumed was a Chinese numerology thing and that I shouldn't come because I would bring bad luck. Then I saw a sign in Dixon St and wandered up the stairs to a first floor place that claimed to be Red Chilli Szechuan Restaurant. So now I'm looking at Yelp and trying to work out why there are two places on it, each with the same name, 22 metres apart in the biggest city in Australia. Should I do a runner and try and find Daves place? Or not. I stay. Mistake one. Just got asked what I'd like and I had to say 'I don't know' because I couldn't say 'A completely different Restaurant please' Oh God that's torn it, tea has arrived and been poured, some into my cup but most onto the floor and the table. The menu is actually heavy. It's leather bound, about 2 foot by 4 foot and 189 pages long. I'm gonna stay - can't waste a pot of tea. I just tried to order prawns Szechuan style but it didn't work. Apparently I also have to order the sauce. In a blind panic I pointed at Kung Pao which I thought was a dish not a sauce? Other diners are starting to stare at me. Hey this tea is pretty good! Szechuan Kung Pao Black Bean Chop Suey Stir Fried Hot Pot prawns with idiot white person sauce arrives. Covered in dried weapons grade atomic chillies. Which, as it happens, are red. How do I know they are nasty? I ate one in full view of the next table to show off and try and gain some credibility. Mistake 2. So - the bathrooms are conveniently close to the dining room and, if you have to spend seven minutes restoring oxygen to your body by a series of convulsive fits, they are probably better than the main dining area, especially as the restaurant has filled up significantly. I assume that dish is called 'Kung Pao' because that's the exact noise my eardrums made when they burst. I now have a case of tinnitus that I am worried can be heard by others in the room. The prawns can be eaten if special care is taken to remove them from the plate with kevlar gloves and industrial tongs and eat them in a hypobaric chamber on the other side of the restaurant, behind a pillar where I can't even see those chillies. In walks a group of people I know. Seriously, this is ridiculous. My old friend Heydon has just walked in, presumably lost like I was. He asked if I was OK and I had to say no and could he please ring my mother. Righto, I think I am fit to try and speak with management and see if my lips still work. 'Bill preeese?' I articulate, I think. I am going to see if I can find Daves place, I just saw a tip on Yelp that you have to enter through Little Hay St. This place is good but the food is a little spicy.

I'm not the biggest fan of spicy food and hence don't go to Sichuan restaurants that often, but I…read morewent with a few friends on a trip to Sydney and it turned out to be quite delicious! We ordered a few things to share for the table. The peking duck was really juicy, but the "tortilla"-shaped wrap was a bit strange as I'm used to the fluffy white baos. Green string beans were cooked very nicely -- quite a staple of Chinese food. The fried chicken came in a bowl of half chicken and half chili -- it looks really scary for someone not a big fan of spicy, but the chili added a good kick to the chicken and made it hard to stop eating it. The highlight of the meal was definitely the fish doused in a spicy oily sauce, and again full of chilis. The sauce itself was really spicy with all the sichuan pepper but the fish itself was so tender and juicy.

There was no chopsticks or silverware on the table when we sat down. The staff was friendly and greeted us with menus and a minute later, came back and asked if we were ready before we even looked at the menu. I will say that the lunch specials are pretty good - $7.95 for an array of dishes and comes with complimentary hot tea - which is rare for Sydney. I ordered the combination noodle soup and that included seafood, barbecue pork and chicken. You can choose either egg or rice noodle. My date ordered the pork spare ribs. My soup came out in about 5-7 minutes with a soup spoon but never got any chopsticks. Asked the waitress for it and got it, but my date's food still wasn't there. It came maybe 3 minutes later, which was a bit annoying. My soup had a lot of stuff in it - meat - pork, chicken and seafood - prawns and squid and a good amount of veggies - mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, chinese greens, but the broth was a bit bland. I had to ask for chili sauce, which made it better. My date's ribs were chewy and he didn't really enjoy it. Overall this place is a bit average - glad we didn't pay too much for the food. I was full but not overly satisfied. Not sure I'd come back.

My group and I came here with recommendation from a friend of ours. The owner of the place which we call Uncle was lovely and friendly showed us our table upstairs. The menu was extensive, and while we were busy perusing the menu, a pot of Chinese tea arrived, followed by colourful drinks for the kids. Layers of bright rainbow colours excite all seven children at our table, including two of mine. I found out that kids get extra privilege here, they get free drink and dessert. We didn't have to wait long until the food arrived. Wagyu Beef Rolls with Enoki Mushrooms was a highlight, the beef was tender and perfectly paired with the delicate mushrooms right in the centre of each roll. We also had the Silken Bean Curd with mushrooms, Salt and Pepper Squid, a chicken dish and a pork dish.They were your average tasty Chinese food. Then the waiter came with a big bowl of dessert soup consists of sweet potatoes swimming in a muddy coloured sweet broth. The kids got a bright multicoloured rainbow jelly egg for dessert. All these desserts were served complimentary. Always a good way to end a meal!

The restaurant had no more than four parties when we arrived for a late dinner on a Monday night around 8pm. Then again, Lynn isn't very easy to spot if you're strolling along Castlereagh St, which may explain the emptiness. It's pretty standard to order xiao long baos at a Shanghainese restaurant. So of course, we got one order of #701 XLBs, along with #801 Shanghai Noodles with Shredded Pork and Vegetables and #805 Vegetable and Pork Wontons in Noodles with Hot and Spicy Sauce. The XLBs weren't amazing. The pork meat was bland, and the soup was very light and not as flavorful as I hoped. However, the skin was perfect: delicate and thin, yet sturdy enough to hold the meat and soup, and it had good texture. The Shanghai noodles weren't special either. I liked the variety of veggies and pork, but the dish overall needed more salt as it was tasteless and lacked any depth. The wontons and noodles in a hot and spicy sauce was a very heavy dish. Noodles had a very thick, starchy texture. Wontons were generously stuffed with a large amount of filling, mainly shredded vegetables because I didn't taste the pork, and the skin was too thick and chewy. The sauce was extremely spicy, and it irked me when we weren't automatically given water refills when our glasses were clearly empty. Lynn is a huge restaurant, so it can accommodate large groups. It's also very clean and modern. Service wasn't rude, but they certainly weren't attentive either. The only reason we tried this place was because they had a takeaway menu available at our hotel. The menu looked promising, but after dining here, we left unimpressed.
