Glasgow restaurant
Sichuan House at 345–349 Sauchiehall Street is a long-running city-centre Chinese restaurant that opened in May 2014 and still presents itself as Scotland’s first dedicated Sichuan specialist — chilli, ginger, garlic and mouth-numbing Sichuan peppercorn cooking in sharing tureens and burner dishes, alongside a full list of familiar Cantonese-style favourites. The official site splits the offer into three lanes (classics ‘loved on Sauchiehall Street’, broader Chinese crowd-pleasers, and traditional Sichuan) and highlights showpiece plates such as roasted sea bass in chilli broth on a table burner (£26.80), salted egg yolk wings (£16.80) and cumin–chilli roast lamb chops (£18.80). Herald critic Ron Mackenna (Jan 2015) called it sophisticated and elegant, scored food 8/10 and menu/value 5/5, and praised peppercorn-led sharing dishes, house-made noodles and seafood — with the caveat that authentic Sichuan plates come in large share sizes best tackled with company. A later Herald advertising feature said it was named Best Chinese Restaurant in Scotland at the end of 2017 (awarding body not named in that piece). Open daily noon–11pm. Business lunch is sit-in only, Mon–Fri noon–3pm (2 courses £13.99 / 3 courses £15.99). Walk-ins welcome; book ahead for parties of more than four (0141 333 1788). Menus mark heat levels and V/VG dishes; the main menu has a gluten-free section. A few minutes’ walk from Charing Cross; Cowcaddens Subway roughly 7 minutes, Buchanan Street about 11.
Last time, we were given free snacks while we were waiting, but this time there weren’t any — still, it didn’t affect my impression of the restaurant at all. The food is super delicious and the prices are very reasonable! I really like this place and recommend everyone to visit. Also, something very important for me — they have a menu with pictures, and I got exactly what I saw in the photo. Thank you so much! I preferred 3 courses for 16.99 and juice
Read on Google MapsSalt and chilli soft shell crab and chicken satay are to die for! Service super efficient and this has been the same every time I’ve visited. Decent portion size and price. Probably my favourite restaurant anywhere.

Read on Google MapsThe very best and first class Sichun food in Glasgow. The restaurant manager is a wonderful lad and this makes the restaurant super. Come in and you will know what I mean. The best of the best in Glasgow... or I must say he best in the UK.
Read on Google MapsFood portions here are massive, and is pretty good. My wife and I were a little confused about the fish with hot chilli oil, we expected it to be red and oily, but it was clear instead, but it was good regardless. They also gave us free appetisers! Service was efficient and quick, and the restaurant was clean and had a nice aesthetic. One thing to note is that the toilets may be quite dirty, depending on your luck
