Sichuan Popo

Stopped by for a late afternoon snack. It’s okay. Noods need way more flavor. Chef needs to double the chili oil, soy sauce, and black vinegar. Dim sum was pretty good. Not a bad lunch spot, but there’s more flavor to be found elsewhere. The lady next to me got the dry stir-fried beef ho fun. That looked pretty legit. Makes me think this place is run by Southern Chinese masquerading as Sichuanese. Would explain the mild flavors and dim sum offerings! Service was fast and friendly.

This is the better branch of this chain. Great tasting Sichuan food. The mini hotpot is so good, but then so are the dan dan noodles, the Chongqing noodles, and spicy beef noodles, and some of their cold starters. The menu is huge. The dumplings are the only things that are just average. There are so many restaurants to try in London but this is one we keep coming back to.

I had the ‘mini hot pot’ (Mao Cai), and would massively recommend it! They suggest at least 4 toppings, so I went with enoki mushroom, fish balls, squid, and the hand-pulled flat noodles. The hot pot broth was rich and spicy (you can choose the spice level to suit you), sweet, sour, with a gorgeously rich and buttery aftertaste. You get a generous amount of toppings too, and I was happily full afterwards. I was desperate to try some of their steamed buns so I ordered a portion to takeaway too. All the staff are super friendly, and I love the modern vibe of the restaurant. I will definitely be back for more dumplings!

It was very warm and comfortable. We've seen this Chinese restaurant for a while and finally have a taste. The food was amazing i would say, we ordered the chicken with sesame sauce and the Beef tripes for starters. And then the deep fried fish fillet And pig intestine noodle for main. They are all good and I wish they could more spicy🤣🤣

Wow. The food here was simply incredible! It exceeded my expectations. Really authentic and delicious si chuan food. I usually find si chuan food a little bit too oily for my liking but the food at sichuan popo hits differently. Every dish was so well balanced and incredibly flavorful. We will definitely be back for more. I 100% recommend checking out this restaurant!

This was hands down one of THE most phenomenal Chinese meal experiences I ever had! I had the Biang Biang noodles with beef. The beef was cooked to perfection and the noodles were very very satisfying. The service was very attentive. I came back just three days later for another meal, this time all vegetarian and it was just as delicious. I don't rave about any old restaurant. This was a special find and I will be showing it off to my friends. Highly recommend.
