The food was delicious, the portions large. The staff helpful and eager to answer questions regarding the menu and some ingredients.

Thats My Food

Two of my friends came up to me and asked, do you like spicy food? I said yes I love it so they said we’ll take you to a Chinese restaurant where you should not go if you don’t eat spicy food. So I was all up for it. This place is on Lonsdale street, very close to Melbourne Central. The first thing that I noticed on entering the restaurant was the smell of chilli in the air.

Lizzie Eats Melbourne

😱Lizzie’s first impression: first time having sichuan food in Melbourne after trying some delicious places in Sydney I was a big hunt. I came across this place that I’ve walked past but never bothered to try until now.

🍩Lizzie enjoyed: the fish in oil was delicious - they have a red chilli oil and a normal chilli oil. We opted for a red chilli oil just to see how spicy it would be but it was fine. The cold noodles were delicious and had a good hit of spice and sweetness to it. We also ordered the Kung Pao chicken which I thought was the highlight of this place - the chicken was juicy and tender but had bursts of flavour and good punch of spice! Delicious. The string beans also had a good flavour.

🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: the decor is all very old - think white parlour seats with red cushion support. It felt like an old school Chinese cafeteria almost except the staff were grabbing the food for us instead. So don’t expect anything fancy. If you don’t like anything fancy then I wouldn’t bother with this restaurant as you can see glazed oil in every dish.

🥇Lizzie rates overall: a great sichuan house which is so convenient to get to - I will be back for more!

Quite a lot of my old work colleagues would also mention about this location. And I thought – you know what, I need to finally go and check it out. And you know what? It did not disappoint. Make sure you bring cash and an appetite!. Your best bet is to get here via public transport. It’s such a small venue that you could go past it. If you are doing lunch here, I would highly recommend that you go here around 11:30am to avoid the lunch time rush. And if you are conntemplating dinner, then make sure you get here before 7pm.

Good Szechuan, Mala, Chong Qing food. Big portions. Priced reasonably. Just the spicy fish we ordered was not fresh. The fish was mushy and wasn’t good.

If you love spicy food you should come and try this place out. This is one of the best sichuan restaurant I have eaten in Melbourne. The service was good 4/5, food came out in a timely manner. Food was 5/5!! Amazing, we have dined in here more than once, we always come back here for sichuan food family dinner. You will not go wrong with the food here 👌🏼

Not a big fan of basa fish altho the flavours were superb. Ordered the clams with wasabi and the taste is interesting. But not something that you want to have too much of. Overall it was a pleasant meal.

Quite well priced compare to other restaurants in the CBD area. Service is quite quick and attentitive. would give it a 4/5 for favours and serving size. Location is definatly 5/5 as it is just around the corner from MC.

The place looks better than I expected and the service was quick. Nothing else I could give compliment. Ordered fish dish, cold mug bean noodle and fried pork chitterlings. The oil in the fish fish doesn't look fresh, and it's full of MSG as if it's the only source of its taste. compare to many other Sichuan restaurant in Melb it's just not an outstanding one for me.

This place has been around for over 10 years and recently I have been there twice because the food has improved significantly. Recommend pretty much every dish on their menu - nothing will go wrong! Whether you want spicy or non-spicy, it will be delicious. Service is always attentive and friendly! Can BYO as well.

Verdict - would return: great for sharing and various spice levels for all, still a lot more to try! Liked - dry pot chicken with bamboo shoot, portion size Disliked - some dishes need a bit more “oomph” Other comments - rolled out of the restaurant, slightly pricey but could have ordered less!

Decor is on the tacky side but dishes have a fantastic blend of flavour and texture. If your spice tolerance is high, you’ll be fine. Highly recommend the stir fried lamb. Service is also commendable so an enjoyable experience overall.

This is one of best my favourite SiChuan restaurants, also almost all my friends around me we all love with, also the most the important pint is the traditional taste. Overall i will give the 5 strar to Charming Spice !

David Wang

Very good food, authentic flavors, and huge portions! They graciously made us several dishes for takeout just before they closed, and it was all delicious. They were even thoughtful enough to cut the corner in the lid of the crispy chicken dish to prevent it from softening!

Has this place closed for good? Loved this restaurant. Spicy fish and diced chicken with ginger and chilli was a must try for spice lovers.
