Hi, Sichuan food lovers, Cumin pork ribs is back again! We will reopen on this Thursday 18/06 and do takeaway. You are welcome to visit us. Thank you for your liking us. See you soon.
A little tricky to find, but what a little gem. Food was amazing, staff were nice but hard to wave down for service during busy times. I will definitely go back again soon.
One of the best hidden gems in all of Melbourne!! I love it here! Can’t go past their spicy beef with the crispy coated lotus root pieces. The flavours really pack a punch with the Sichuan kick. A Melbourne institution.

Absolutely love this Sichuan place! Hidden in Corrs lane with not the most appealing decorations it still stands as a traditional Chinese eatery in Chinatown. We ducked the huge line in front of shanghai dumplings and decided to dine here and trust me it wasn’t a mistake at the slightest.
Ordered:
4x rice bowls
Sichuan boiled fish fillets $28
Free range Sichuan chicken $13.50
Xiao long bao (12pcs) $10.80
Review:
Despite the unassuming decorations the food and service was outstanding. With the generous, cheap proportions we were surprised at how delicious the food was. The fish was delicious, tender but then boiled and absorbed all the spicy, mouth numbing Sichuan flavours. The bean sprouts underneath gave a great crunch, we found the soup however to be a bit oily but that is what Sichuan is know for, its known for flavour and we can’t complain. Chicken was served cold but showered with a unbelievable amount of Sichuan seasoning it was so flavourful and delicious it was heaven when paired with warm rice. The xiao long Baos filling was nice and packed flavour but wished there was more soup, hoped the skin was a little thinner but after all they master in Sichuan cuisine.
What is the first thing that come up when you think about Sichuan food? For me OIL OILY VERY OILY.
This is because they are famous for that. This place is different. Yes they do have oily food (if you choose to order one). Otherwise, its more to spicy yet delicious.
Must order:
Cold noodles
Yu Xiang Eggplant
Cumin Pork Ribs
Work Fried Chicken
Seafood Soup (to balance)
If you are one of the person who are traumatized with Sichuan food (I was), trust me, the must order above would change your perspective on SIchuan food.

I love coming to Sichuan house with colleagues for dinner !
The food is just so delish, and of course has a kick to it!
I love the spicy cold noodles, and the veggie mapo tofu is amazing. The menu is huge so you are bound to find something for EVERYONE!
Located in Chinatown is this restaurant that’s known for its cumin pork ribs and other Sichuan delicacies. It has a slightly upscale seating and can get busy during dinner time. Here’s what I got:. 1. Spicy Green Bean Jelly Noodle. Spicy green bean jelly noodle ($7). A small starter dish of jelly noodles made from green bean. It has a silky texture and is served with a blend of chili topped with crushed peanuts. The taste of the chili has a close resemblance with the Indomee seasoning.
Very authentic and delicious Sichuan food! We’ve basically tried most of the dishes on the menu by now and it’s great every time. It’s also very affordable and portions are generous. Don’t expect top notch service but the staff are friendly enough (just very busy with limited people on shifts).
Delicious and spicy Chinese dishes to be enjoyed at this place. Service is quick but not exactly plesant. It's an in and out sort of restaurant and you wouldn't want to be there for too long anyway because the wine's no good! Food is very very good though.
Have been going to Sichuan House since 2007. Always love their food, everything's always great.
Highly recommended dishes:
1. Sweet & sour pork
2. Cumin pork ribs
3. Kung pao prawns
4. Stir fried five spice tofu & chives
5. Mapo tofu (best to eat with yang zhou fried rice)
6. Sichuan cold noodles
7. Spicy dried tofu
8. Spicy beef
9. Fish in spicy soup
10. Stir fried shredded pork with tea tree mushrooms
My go-to place for Sichuan cuisine.
Highly recommend their toothpick beef, cumin pork ribs, spicy fish soup and green beans. Fair price and the portion is big.
OMG we are out of lockdown and can finally eat Sichuan food. The last place we tried such delicacies was in Hong Kong two years ago. We went for the Chongquing chicken, chilli beef on toothpick "skewers" and fried green beans with minced pork. Our only mistake was not ordering the beans with chilli/schezuan pepper.
The beef was dangerously good. The fight was on between me and my wife for these delicious morsels. My desire for chongquing chicken got the best of me however and I got 4 less pieces of beef as a result. Authentic, cheerful, tasty and affordable!
Highly recommend crispy duck, pork ears and the steamed chicken in spicy sauce. The food is delicious.
One of the OG Sichuan restaurants in Melbourne. Their taste is authentic! So good, would definitely come back here again next time. Have been coming here for Sichuan foods
We love Sichuan House and go out of our way to visit every time we travel to Melbourne. We always take away some dishes for our friends and family to enjoy aswell. Favourites are the Cold Noodles & Fish in Spicy soup. But we enjoy lots of dishes and always try something new as the menu is so extensive.
I've been waiting to come to Sichuan House for years - totally worth the wait. The food was so good - cumin pork was next level. The customer service was amazing - they were so caring with us and my 7 month old daughter, trying to make her laugh and entertain her. Very sweet. Highly recommend.
