Red Chilli Sichuan Restaurant

I am a fan of Sichuan food, Red Chilli Sichuan is a real Sichuan restaurant.
They have four restaurants in Sydney, I have been to three of them. The best is their Chatswood restaurant, but it’s not on the Unilocal.I would give five star to them. Burwood is the 2^nd on the line. The food is good, but it’s pricy for what you got. Nice seating, clean, good service. Good location, right in the front of Burwood Westfield.

Very good for a sweet and spicy meal. If I had to pick my favourite it was definitely the green beans. The meal is very salty but also very good

A few years ago, my boyfriend came home with a bunch of friends smelling really bad… was that garlic? Chilli? Farts? I was not happy with the smell invasion, even as they told me about this «awesome chilli place» they ate at. I refused to join them the next 2 times they went (and kicked their smelly a***es out of the house!) and then I finally caved and went along — and I found what I was missing!
This restaurant is a place where some dishes are served in a bowl full of chillis! I mean hundreds of them! I highly recommend looking at the other tables as you squeeze through to get to your table, because it might help you decide on some great looking dishes!
We usually go for what would be considered mild in this place, but is medium or hot anywhere else:
Salt and pepper king prawns or squid — doooooo it! It’s the best, and I recommend mixing all the little leftover chillis, shallots, and salty bits with just plain rice once you’ve eaten the prawns, yum! Better than any sauce! It’s not a cheap dish, but we never don’t get this.
Kung pao chicken — our usual mild dish. It’s tasty, it’s got just a hint of spice. If you are not sure of your chilli eating ability, it’s a good option.
Hot and sour soup — we pretty much always get this. You can order 4 serves in a huge bowl with a ladle, and share it around. I often get hot and sour soup at other places that is not even hot at all — but this one has a bit of spice to it.
We normally get the above 3 dishes, and then experiment with one really hot dish. It’s kind of a wimpy strategy, but ensures everyone can actually eat the food!
There are a fewer cons to this place, that stopped me giving it the 5 stars the food could easily earn:
They put tea on the table without asking, and then charge you if you drink it. WTF?!
They charge for the steamed rice — I have no problem with this if it’s on the menu, but it isn’t.
You will probably have to wait a while at peak times. And get ready to aggressively defend your position in the queue, because I have experienced people trying to push in. They probably need a better queuing system actually.
You will smell like spicy food! So it’s better if everyone goes, then no one notices :)
But despite these cons, we still go here when we need a spicy fix — it’s an overall great place to eat, I recommend you try it!

Red Chilli Sichuan Restaurant must go through at least a tone of chili sauce a week. If you enjoy sweat inducing spicy food, this is the restaurant for you. Like all Sichuan restaurants, Red Chilli specializes in all things tongue numbing.
Last week, a group of friends and I decided we were up for the challenge, and headed down to Burwood to see if Red Chilli lived up to its favourable reviews.
We ordered the lamb hotpot, cold clear noodles, lamb ribs, stir fried pork with rice cakes, and a few other dishes. Everything was pretty good, especially the lamb hotpot, which was huge and could easily feed three people. The lamb ribs, which enjoy a three-​chili rating, were heavenly… or maybe that should be hell-​y, because these tasty little morsels will take your tongue on a journey to the fiery depths of hell. It’s great.
The service is fast (and sometimes friendly), and the meals are reasonably priced. Just over $ 100 fed a table of five, and we had leftovers! The restaurant is quite cramped, but this is just part of the experience.
So enjoy, and don’t forget your tissues– your sweaty brow will thank me.
