There's a real garden in Sichuan Garden as soon as you walk in, but then theres no water below the bridge, which makes me wonder if this restaurants has changed hands since it opened or if the owners just got lazy.
We ordered:
- dan dan noodle: a bowl of noodles (no broth) in spicy sauce (so good!)
- minced garlic sauce pork: this is a cold dish with fatty meat dipped in garlic sauce...it leaves your breath smelling like garlic for the rest of the day, but it's so delish!
- water cooked beef: beef and nappa cooked in numb spicy broth : good, but not the best i've had even in toronto
- numb spicy pigs blood and cow stomach with lots and lots of yellow bean sprouts: the flavour was great and the cow stomach was very fresh, but too much yellow bean sprouts
Very authentic Sichuan/Szechuan dishes and my mom is super excited about coming back! -

You want some authentic Szechuan food? Come to this place. Probably the best Szechuan food I've had in Toronto. The lunch specials are amazing; cheap and so yummy! Their Kung Pao chicken is a must order!

I love eating spicy food, especially sichuang style foods. I especially love kungpao chicken, and I can just say, not many places does it right. I've tried many other sichuang place uptown, downtown, midtown. This place by far has the best kungpao chicken IMO. It's sichuang dish is pretty authentic.
Lunch special is awesome for UT students to take a break from work/school. $5.5? i think for a dish, unlimited rice, and soup of the day (either spicy sour soup or egg drop soup). Just great to go with few friends and share few dishes.
Dinner has no special menu but has other great selection such as spicy bean sauce fish, sichuang style noodle, maopao tofu.
I don't know man, if you are a fan of sichuang dish, you have to try it out at least once. I know the location is not great. The place looks old with out-dated decorations from the 80s? or older. But the food is definitely up to par. Recommend! -

Enter: Sichuan Garden. Through the green doors, and over a bridge (!?) into a rather bare-bones establishment. From the looks of it, in another life, Sichuan Garden was once a club of some kind. I judge this from the 'bar' area where the cash register is, above which is a ceiling where a light-cover in the shape of stars is attached. Some 90s-riffic starlight action went down here, no doubt.
The service... both times I have visited, we were served by the same waiter, who treated us very decently, and seemed to believe us when we requested they, 'Bring on the spice!' He was even able to give us a hand when we described a favourite dish or ours-- he made it happen.
My favourite dish, ma po tofu, was very good. I recommend that one, for sure. I wouldn't bother with the dandan mian... basically nothingness (but, cheap).
Three stars because they charged $1.50 for a single bowl of rice (is the standing rule that you get charged if your skin is the same colour as the starch?)Listed in: Cruisin' Spadina

Wow! This place has the best chilli garlic eggplant - ever! And the Spicy fish?! ZOMG!
A Chinese friend recommended this place and when we went we were the only non-Asians in the restaurant.
The quantities are huge and the prices are affordable.
Will be going back many many times! -

The lunch special is too die for. 4.99 set meals with a wide variety is good but I would only make it out for lunch

Good duck cooked in beer sauce. Kung bao fish was also good. Very busy place.
