I have visited Dainty Sichuan many times before but this is my first time reviewing it! The spicy beef tongue and heart included some numbing spice. i found this to be the spiciest of all dishes. The crispy Sichuan duck was definitely crispy although i felt the meat was overcooked. The cumin lamb slices would be my favourite of all the dishes. Spicy and full of flavour with no overpowering lamb scent. The fish flavoured pork threads had a sweet and sour flavour which helped give your tastebuds a break from the spiciness. The fried pork slices were super crispy. The food here is consistently cooked to a high standard.
Delicious spicy Sichuan food, perfect for a cold autumn evening. Must orders include hot and spicy fish slices, stewed lamb ribs, spicy lamb kebabs, and tofu threads with leek. The service was very attentive and when a vegetable dish came late they gave us an extra generous portion. Not cheap but definitely high quality. Seemed to be a popular place too.
Good quality authentic food but quite expensive.
Ambience average, run of the mill asian restaurant.
Service was good, staff attentative and polite.
The sichuan dishes such as the sichuan fish, the chili chicken, the shreded cold chicken, the cold chili noodles etc. are spicy and flavourful. Service is pretty quick and the waitstaff are friendly enough.

Ever since visiting China, I have fallen in love with Sichuan food and I was delighted to find a place close by in the Glen waverley area.
Although I can never make sense of the menu, I do enjoy taking a gamble when ordering and so far it has worked out rather well. I have however worked out that the daoxia noodles are thick hand made and hand cut noodles and are a must try! On this occasion I chose the biang biang noodles($12.90) which come with minced pork, veggies as well as egg+tomato. There was a lot of noodle(too much in fact!) and it gets filling fast as the noodles are quite heavy. The dumplings are also very nice and portion sizes in general are rather generous. Do note that the cuisine in general is quite oily and spicy but that is why I love it so much!
The restaurant is frills free in both interior and service. It can be difficult sometimes to know who the waiters are as they are all dressed in casual. Service is quite friendly but some of the waiters can't speak english and were unable to take our order.
Great authentic shanxi style restaurant. Biangbiang noodles is a must try. Maybe too oily for some people.
Pork burger was great, crispy bread and lots of pork. Again, quite oily.

Had a craving for some Sichuan food but didn't want to go all the way into the city for it. Found a local place at Glenny and booked ourselves a table.
The staff were friendly, most if not all the waiters were bilingual/multilingual. As it was our first time there, we asked for recommendations. We ended up ordering the beef on toothpick, the oxtail tomato soup, the boiling fish in golden basin, the chongqing chilli chicken, the smoked pork and cauliflower wok, the potato noodles with pork threads, the mapo tofu and the tofu shreds with leek. FYI - we dined with a large group...
When you don't bite into the peppercorns, it's great. But the minute you sink your teeth into those fiery peppercorns. Game over.
For me, the stand out dishes were the beef on toothpick, the boiling fish and the pork and cauliflower. The potato noodles and the tofu and leek dish weren't great. I wouldn't order them again.
I would and I have gone back again. Basically, if you're gonna go to Shaanxi then don't be expecting mild food. They clearly serve hot Sichuan food. It's all over the menu. If you're into your Sichuan, then this is not a bad place to visit.
A Sunday gathering around a round table with plenty of shared dishes to dig into family style is a great afternoon well spent, and we chose to do that at Dainty Sichuan in Glen Waverley. Admittedly I've been a bit dubious and hesitant about Sichuan cuisine. I'm not a fan of that numbing pepper spice and whilst I enjoy heat and spice, my poor tummy sometimes doesn't. But Ling loves this place so we were ready to give it a go.
Spicy, aromatic and full of flavour. The dishes were quite plentiful and worth the prices paid. The service was also acceptable with attentive waiting staff and dishes were relatively quick in arriving despite the busy dinner.
I'm not one to love Sichuan food but it's really good here! Make sure you go for the lamb skewers, the eggplant dish, the pigs ears and the fried chilli chicken! All a winner in my books!
