Sichuan Garden - Brighton and Hove

We ordered the Chinese hotpot, in contrast to other places for hotpot, they in the round everything charged. we spent pfund per head for a basic hotpot meal, very disappointed!

The restaurant was beautiful and affordable, and the food was fantastic. There was a good selection and the portions were well-sized. The flavors were rich and delicious, though some dishes were a bit spicy for my taste. It's a lovely place to try something new. The lamb Peking duck style was delicious and tender, I couldn't stop eating it. The staff was polite and friendly, making it the best budget-friendly meal I've ever had.

The restaurant was surprisingly quiet for a Friday night which should have warned us really! The service was very slow and the staff found it very hard to understand what we were ordering even when pointing to the chinese translation in the menu. Once the...food arrived we were really unimpressed. The rice was clearly nuked in the microwave and the chicken was slimy. In addition, we ordred duck pancakes, the pancakes arrived and fifteen minutes later the rest still hadnt. When we asked the waitress was very confused and said that we only ordered pancakes?! Who orders just pancakes? It was a shame as the decor in the restaurant was very mice and the drinks were reasonable but the food just wasnt up to standard.

We went here on a Saturday night the restaurant was fairly busy. The staff were very friendly but we ordered starters got the duck which was warm not how duck should arrive on the bone especially for for a quarter. We...ordered a soup which arrived with the main course one of the main courses dishes did not arrive even after we asked several times so we gave up with that dish. The food was flavoured with lots of pepper chillies very average. The drinks were warm overall a very disappointing meal.
