Went for dinner last night. Had been here twice before and it was quite good and reasonable. Last night the food was disgusting. Three of us had peking shredded pork which was revolting, we barely touched it! Another had a lamb dish which tasted like it had come from a dirty kebab shop-terrible. Another had a king prawn dish which was swimming in MSG.
Spring rolls were the best thing to come out of that place. The staff repeatedly brought the wrong food out, i.e. we asked for two portions of prawn crackers, they brought out 2 crown beers? I suspect we paid for all their mistakes too, and we never did see those prawn crackers. We will never be back!

For those who love chilli, the fish hot pot is a must try. Prices and services are typical of Chinatown.

Overall, Red Chilli Sichuan is an ok restaurant, but certainly not spectacular. We had booked before arriving, and because some of our party were slightly late, asked the waitress if we could possibly wait for a few minutes to order. She informed us that the next booking for our table was 2 hours later, so we would have to order asap. I thought this was a bit rude, and felt compelled to eat quickly lest the other patrons be kept waiting.
The food was alright, but I wouldn't rave about it. One of the chilli dishes was virtually inedible, it was so hot, but there was little warning on the menu.

This is the review for the Burwood branch as there is no listing yet on eatabillity. This inner west sister restaurant is located opposite Westfield Burwood on Burwood Road.
Three words - Hot hot hot. Even the 'one chili' option is hot. Tried the lamb hotpot ($28) and 'one chili-rated' sliced pork with leeks ($16). Way too much for the two of us. The hotpot itself could serve four people. Food has a lot of chili oil so wear clothes that don't show splatters as it can get messy. Constant flow of people coming in and out and luckily there are two floors. Lots of people leaving with containers of leftovers.
As for the box of tissues on the table, that's to wipe off the perspiration from your brow! A table of five guys near us started stripping off their clothes as they were eating, that's how hot the food is.

It's very nice place to taste the original Sichuan hot food. My best one is cold noodle, it's very similar taste to what I ate in Chongqing. Really hot but I like it. I'll go back definitely. The price is not cheap but big portion. We ordered too much. Be careful when you order.

Reasonably priced with great tasting food. The half chilli and half chicken soup hot pot was delicious. A note to those who can't handle chilli, their chilli is chilli!
Service was appalling though, with not much of a welcome and many stare downs. However, food was still good!

Visited red chilli last night, when we arrived we were the only caucasians in the restaurant which we knew was a good sign. The service was a bit difficult as not too many of the wait staff spoke English, however, everyone was friendly and attentive.
For starters we ordered the steamed dumplings with Pork and Cabbage and the steamed corn bread (Wotou I think). Both were amazing especially the super sticky and sweet, corn bread which I had never tried before.
There seemed to be many traditional and quite out there Sichuan dishes on the menu, however, for mains we played it safe and ordered two medium-hot dishes, the Kung Pao Chicken and Beef shreds with onion and capsicum. Both were delicious, however, quite hot. Luckily the chillis are cut into large chunks and easy to avoid if it is all getting too hot for you.
Overall the place looks like a typical Chinatown restaurant with paper on the tables and very dodgy bathrooms but the food was different and very delicious.

I've been here a few times. The food has been consistently excellent, although the service is far from warm and friendly. It's also difficult to have a conversation in this restaurant because of the uber high noise level. Having said that, this is the best Szechuan food I've had in Sydney. Even my Chinese friends highly rate this place.

I went here for a friends birthday and left it in their hands to order for the table. My friends say it is their favourite chinese in the city and they particularly enjoy the attentive service. I could not tell as it was a sunday night and the place was quietish.
The food was excellent and was quite different to other styles of chinese food sampled. We had a dish of skewered chicken and vegetables dunked in a chilli oil liquid which once finished cold buckwheat noodles were added and eaten. Unusual and not what I would have associated with this cuisine. Delicious none the less and an exciting variation. The hot pots and noodle dishes were tasty and not as spicy as I had been warned so was pleasantly surprised.
All in all a nice experience and excellent taste for the city. Recommended.
