The story
On Hanbury Street in London’s East End, Sichuan Folk brings the fiery, aromatic traditions of Sichuan cuisine to a city that has embraced them wholeheartedly. The restaurant earned a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026, a mark of the kitchen’s serious approach to one of China’s most celebrated regional cuisines.
The menu – not detailed in available sources – draws on the full repertoire of Sichuan cooking: the numbing heat of Sichuan peppercorns, the depth of fermented bean pastes, and the sharpness of pickled chillies. The atmosphere is relaxed and modern, with air conditioning and wheelchair access making it a comfortable choice for any occasion.
Sichuan Folk’s Michelin nod reflects a quiet confidence in its craft. No gimmicks, no unnecessary theatre – just skilled cooking that lets the ingredients and techniques speak. It is a restaurant for those who love Sichuan food and those about to discover it.
