" Absolutely love this restaurant! The spicy fish was one of the best I've tried and showcased authentic flavors that simply cannot be replicated. The menu is extensive, so there's something for everyone. The vibe was lively yet comfortable, and I really enjoyed sharing a meal with friends there. Service was decent, though we experienced a minor wait for our food. I will definitely be telling my friends about this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! My friends and I ordered a range of dishes, and every single one was fantastic. The fish pot was the highlight — it was bursting with flavor, and with the range of toppings available, everyone could customize their experience. The interior is a seamless blend of modern and traditional, which made for a really pleasant dining environment. The only downside was I wished the service had been a bit more attentive; there were times we felt a bit forgotten. Regardless, I left happy and full. I highly recommend giving it a try!

" I stopped by Xun Yu Si Kao on a whim, and what a lucky decision that was! I ordered the spicy chicken, and while I usually don’t handle spice very well, the flavors were so rich and well-balanced that it completely won me over. The authenticity of the food is notable, and I appreciated how the dishes reflect traditional Sichuan cooking techniques. The ambiance was vibrant and lively — I really enjoyed the decor! My only complaint would be the wait, which was a bit longer than expected, but the delicious food made it worthwhile. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this restaurant! The authenticity of the Sichuan dishes is unmatched. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and of high quality. I ordered the eggplant with preserved egg and it was perfectly cooked, flavorful and delightful. The atmosphere is chic and modern, but still feels comfortable. The service was a bit slow as it was a busy Friday night, but that did not detract from the great food experienced. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
