Pleasantly surprised. The century egg dish was my favourite, the chilli sauce paired excellently with the creamy egg. The beef hot pot was yum also with slices of beef that have that soft Chinese restaurant texture I love. It was on the oily side but you kind of expect that. There were lots of Asian diners so you know you are in a legit Chinese establishment. The sweet chilli chicken was also yum, it didn't taste like Western sweet chilli, a bit more subtle.
半年前吃的了，年夜饭当然要吃中餐！说起来都不好意思了，快两年了还是第一次吃水井坊，点的麻辣香锅和麻团，俩人一顿没吃完，打包带回去了，配了饺子第二天又吃了一顿真正的年饭。感觉像是火锅底料炒的吧，油很厚，牛油吧可能？洗锅都挺费劲的，不过是好吃的哈哈哈！重口味当然好吃，就是太上火了不能常吃……
You know it is the best restaurant in Canberra. The spicy pot is a good choice if you can eat spicy food. Stir fried beef slices with sweet and sour source and stir fried pork in Peking source are amazing. I eat there at least once a week.
I was craving dry mala and this satisfied my craving. I ordered medium spicy level and it wasn’t really that spicy. If you really can take spicy food, you should try the spiciest level.
An excellent Chinese restaurant. Food was extremely flavourful and portion sizes were generous. Only criticism was it took some time for my companions main to arrive after mine had. Apart from that, very happy with the food and service, I would recommend a visit.
Nice place! The food were really good and we all enjoyed the seafoods. The services as nice as well. Definitely recommended to go for a meal!
try some special food from this shop, they r all amazingly tasty, the roasted duck is one of my favourite, n also they cooked the seafood like lobster, pretty professional, just right on time, the meat is not too tough，still keep the fresh original flavour !!!!
Everything was flavourful , good customer service, quick and efficient. Highly recommend Boiled Choysum with wheat and stir fried green beans.
I eat the dinner special here 3-4 times a month - my go to dish is the ma po tofu. Occasionally I'll get their famous hotpot beef and hot pot fish. Food and service is consistent and the prices are very reasonable.
Food was amazing. Had the hot pot fish and fried rice and they were delicious and nicely presented. The waiters were professional and their service was great.
As a Sichuan food-lover, I finally found the place which best suits my stomach. No word could express my feelings when I tasted the dishes. Every time when I think about Sichuan food, the dishes were always came to my mind after I came back from Canberra. However, a new branch restaurant has been set up, and the dishes in the new branch restaurant tastes as impressive as in Canberra store.
we tried the dry hot pot. it was very spicy but with the coke, it was very very apetizing! We also had the dumplings with sichuan chilli sauce and it was so good!
cheap！very cheap！so yummy！
i travelling this city，my parent want eat hotpot fish，find this restaurant，order 6 dishes only $130！！！unbeliveble！and i want say the food is amazing！perfect！
Had the lemon chicken which is very crunch on the surface and juicy in the middle. Lovely presented and served. The dry chilli chicken is very good as well and so good to with sparkling drinks!
Dry hot pot is so goood!!!! Fish ball with crab toe is my favorite and the pickled chili fish is awesome as well! Friendly staff and good atomosphere!
its very good sichuan restaurant in the town， every time went there are busy😊😊😊
the service here is very good， everyone make me feel im home👍👍👍😍😍😍😍
very traditional Si Chuan restaurant, my favorite dish is deep-fried chicken cubes with dry chilli, stir-fried celtuce. reasonable price and good service
i visited my friend last week and this is a best shop i had dinner in in Canberra. The spicy mixed pot is very good with lots of selections. wish to go back there some other time.
I like to eat spicy food, and I think it is a good place for me. I think the hot pot beef is very delicious. Meanwhile, I think this restaurant need more tables, as I do not want to wait.
So, I think people should book the seats at first.
i really love it，We ordered pickled beef tendon with millet pepper, fish fillet hot pot, stir fried asparagus lettuce with sliced pork and stone pot braised beef brisket.
The stir fried asparagus lettuce (celtuce) with thinly sliced pork was a refreshingly non-spicy, non-oily counterpoint to the fish hot pot and was a perfect addition to our meal. This rated a 4.5.
The beef brisket dish was well made, but I

I love Redchillis and I have read some of the bad reviews and it is hard to belive given that I have visited this restaurant on more than 4 ocassions and not once have I had a bad experience. So I truly recommend it to everyone. The food quality and taste are amazing and they have never dissapointed. I personally recommend the hot pot beef , strong recommend for spicy lover~
a Nice meal in RED CHILLI RESTAURANT 🌝🌝🌝🌝
The price is affordable
Usually costs $30 for per person
RECOMANDED：HOT POT BEEF！！！😻😻😻😻😻
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
This was an excellent meal in a what has been a wonderful gastronomic tour of Canberra.
A busy, bustling restaurant with modern classic Chinese decor complete with fish pond, well dressed staff and great tasting food.
We ordered pickled beef tendon with millet pepper, fish fillet hot pot, stir fried asparagus lettuce with sliced pork and stone pot braised beef brisket.
The pickled beef tendon was the first dish we received and was excellent, with a refreshing vinegary taste combined with the heat of red chillis. This was a great start to the meal and rated a 4.5
The hot pot fish was cooked perfectly and had the distinct chilli oil heaviness of Sichuan food. The sliced wombok complemented the fish well. This dish rated a 4.5.
The stir fried asparagus lettuce (celtuce) with thinly sliced pork was a refreshingly non-spicy, non-oily counterpoint to the fish hot pot and was a perfect addition to our meal. This rated a 4.5.
The beef brisket dish was well made, but I found the flavour somewhat one-dimensional. In my view, the aniseed flavour was a little too dominant and didn't allow for the bamboo shoots to add much to the dish. This may be personal preference since I am not familiar with this dish. It rated a 3.5.
It is really a good place to eat Chinese food, really delicious; the environment just like a traditional Chinese restaurant.one thing is that you should put more tables in your restaurant, I don't want to wait everyone !
Props to the service, and the BIG smiles brought along. The food speaks for itself, so if you haven't had a bite of REAL Chinese food, this is the place to be.
Good food and service.
Tea smoked duck is so nice although it is not boneless. Tea smoked duck seems like one of the chief's sepecial dishes in the old menu. I hope more people try this lovely food.
The foods was amazing here, we ordered Ma Po Toufu, special fish and asparagus lettuce, all dishes were so good! Have to try, best recommended
Was quite a nice place and still has the Sichuan flavor to it. Great place to eat, especially dinner! Overall this place is must try and customer service was great
Really a nice restaurant for enjoying chinese cuisine. The food there is delicious and spicy and is definitely the authentic sichuan style cuisine.I like the lamb and the hot pot fish very much, it is absolutely the best choice if you like chinse food.
The food's gorgeous and so hot ! We ordered kongpao chicken and it's sweet and spicy, definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends and the service is so sweet.
Great place to go if you like Chinese food, especially spicy food! Really fast service and fast response to your request! Always packed with people, so you'd better make a reservation before you go there.
Delicious! If u like hot and spicy, good try.
Kung Pao Chicken is my favorite. Spring rolls is crispy and sour and sweet sauce has a little spicy.
Tried on the 2nd of Feb 2017. didn't know they have a Canberra shop before. opposite to the melbourne building. I've tried their other shops in Sydney, and this shop do the same thing. Not much difference to sydney branches, but surprisingly to have one in Canberra.
saw they sell bento boxes at lunch time, which is a thing not doing in Sydney.
If you love or want to try some traditional Chinese dishes, it should be the best choice in Canberra. I really love the Chef's Special Fish with dry chilli, amazing appearance, spicy enough, and remarkably delicious.
Had a really great supper here with my friends!
You know when Chinese new year comes, we Chinese students studying in Australia always want to find someplace where we can enjoy authentic Chinese dishes. A friend of mine who has lived here for years recommended this restaurant to us so we went here for dinner yesterday. We ordered shrimp dumpling, hot pot fish, Kung Pao Chicken, asparagus……and I have to say, I had never tasted such authentic and delicious chinese food since I came to Australia.——That's what real chinese cuisine should be like and some of them even tastes better than what I ate in China.
If you guys want to taste real authentic chinese dishes, just come and have a try.
Tried this out with friends last week. It was so GOOD - the food and the services!!! Would definitely come back. Spicy chicken dices with dried chilies is a MUST TRY.
very good restaurant，especially for its hot pot，love it. To be honest，i am very into the hot pot fish and the wonton with chilli ，really delicious. Moverover， the restaurant have a full Chinese meal menu with photo so that we can choose the food.They were fantastic! we came back again the second night to eat them again.
good service，food was amazing!!!
Make reservation before you go this restaurant if you don't like waiting a long time when you hungry ! It's very popular! Very nice people and very delicious food! My best favourite food is dry hotpot, it's amazing!
It’s always packed with people who look like they know what they’re choosing and it’s got great energy. Feels like you could really be in Sichuan Provence. When the Canberra Food Bloggers had a night out there (a little while back) they were generous and keen to please. I liked that!
Always busy and fast service. A great range of dishes to choose. The Chef special fillet and deep fried chicken was awesome. A nice staff recommend some popular dishes to us and tell us they have 10 chains throughout Australia. Overall we have a enjoyable night in Red Chilli.

A very popular place for spicy Sichuan food and hot pot. The flavour is good but not as good as before. The speed of service is very fast.
Really not a fan of chilli but after reluctantly followed friends to lunch. Now I am converted. Chilli flavours were subtle not unmanageable. Well flavoured and balanced.
Spicy and delicious. Been here heaps of times. The chicken in chilli (the whole plate of dried fried chillies) is just unreal. Popcorn chicken in a hot salty peppery dry delight of a dish. King po chicken, the dried beef entrée (can't remember the name exactly) are other highlights. Other Szechuan favourites are also good. Just slips in behind spicy ginger as my fave Canberra Szechuan.
A wonderful experience! We had the hot chilli wontons and the fish Sichuan hot pot with a bottle of house Riesling. Everything was delicious. The hot pot was huge and super tasty. We only got through half, so we took the rest home. Can't wait to see what it is like a day later. We had taken a bottle of wine as it was BYO, but the waitress advised us there was a $10 corkage so we thanked her and chose a lovely Riesling from the wine list. The whole meal was delightful and the bill was $70 (including the bottle of wine). Great value! Will definitely go back and want to take friends.
Food was great but most of the staff can't understand English & the female staff need to act like they want to be there,
Oh the funniest thing was we only ate half our rice & when the waiter cleaned our table they just took it out the back & toped it up & reused it I saw this with my own eyes I was sitting at the back near fish tanks & had a clear view.
I loved it! The decor was amazingly beautiful, the staff where lovely and the food was so tasty! Amazing flavours i'd recommend giving it a go
I enjoyed my meal yesterday, was pretty tasty and spicy!
Waiter and waitresses are polite and prompt.
Food came out very quick too, 4 courses came out with in 25min of ordering..
Definitely recommended..
Not bad. It was a busyy day for the restaurant as it was mooncake festival. We came with a group of 10. They were really busy and gave us a small table. But they were quite accommodating as we requested for a larger table when another table vacated after about 15 minutes., The chinese tea was too diluted, so they were quite stingy with that. We found the food pretty good but they were more suited for people who are used to the chilli oil flavour. Almost all the dishes we ordered were drenched in chilli oil. But compared to spicy ginger restaurant across the road , I prefer this place. Some food was a hit, such as a chicken chilli oil and fish chili oil dish, but some food was pretty small in serving size such as the hot rock salted chilli chicken dish which came in a handful of little chicken with bigger portion of dried chilli accompanying it.
Excellent food, vegetarian spring rolls, Chinese Bread Fried and Steamed w/condensed milk and green onion pancakes for entree. Followed by Kong Poa Chicken w/peanuts for main course.
All the meals were delicious. Customer service was under the pump as it was full - and I don't think that is a bad thing.
Will go again to try something different
New favourite Chinese restaurant in Canberra!
Tengjiao Chicken
General Tso's Chicken w/extra chilli
Hot Pot Beef
A 'wow' meal!
🤤🤤🤤😍😍😍
Authentic Sichuan food so be prepared for the spice and chilli!
The food here is beautiful and crisp. Quite a variety of choices and it’s popular among the mainlanders too. This place is also great for group bookings and you can hire out a little private room. But it might be hard for the kids to eat such spicy food.
The ambience and atmosphere adds to the authentic experience. Definitely a good place to come back to.
Good costumer service, so delicious thank you 😊 😋 yum yum 😋
Excellent spicy Sichuan food, staff speaking manners can be improved with training, lovely decor and reasonable prices for most dishes, expect higher prices for seafood.
My family loved the salt & pepper soft shell crab, Sichuan intestines with asparagus lettuce, ma Po tofu. I personally found the intestine dish a bit too salty for my taste though the intestines and veggies were delicious otherwise.
There are non spicy dishes as well so if you have someone with a weaker stomach, get them the soupy or broth dishes.
The Chinese steamed and fried bread dipped in condensed milk was absolutely delicious. Great for young kids if they are fussy over other food.
The restaurant has a licensed bar.
