Gourmet San is most easily identified by the throng of expectant diners queuing outside. So what's the big draw? Part of the answer can be had looking through the window - succulent chilli crab and sizzling fish whizzing between kitchen and happy diners; the rest of it, in the form of friendly and efficient service, comes once you get through the door. Gourmet San's predominantly Chinese clientele are keen on the authentic Szechuan menu, and we suggest you follow their lead. Don't ignore the more exotic options: barbecued rabbit and chicken feet are both great starters, followed by deep-fried squid with red radish. For devoted carnivores, pig trotter is a house speciality.

One of the best Sichuan restaurants in London, though I prefer their sister restaurant, My Old Place, on Middlesex street in the City.
Amazing food, Standout dishes were the dry fried beans with minced pork and stewed aubergine (much much better than it sounds). Not such great service--dishes started arriving before we got rice bowls and napkins.
Been there many times now and it's just the best in London for a taste of authentic food.
I think Alexandra had no luck, but I've never tried the take away...
Why would you go to a Szechuan restaurant and order such rubbish? the specialty dishes at this restaurant are unbelievably good. It took me straight back to China.
WARNING!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS: Worst than mall food...
I ordered from Gourmet San for the first time today because a friend recommended it. I cannot express how disappointed I am. I am actually writing this review instead of eating!!!
The things I ordered because I thought would be safe: hot and sour soup, Singapore vermicelli, King prawn curry, Sweet & Sour pork and Egg fried rice. They told us it would be an hour wait. We did not mind as we knew this meant that the food would be fresh. The driver arrived less then 30 mins later. Which means, the food was probably sitting there for who knows how long!
Review of FOOD:
Hot and sour soup:
Smells like manure... could not even have a full spoon of it. Tasted old and like burnt pepper. Absolutely disgusting!
Singapore vermicelli:
The color is orange rather than yellow and it does not have the distinctive flavor that is should have. All you can taste is the red chill peppers and the red chili pepper!!! That is it - it is so hot/spicy that you cannot eat it!
King prawn curry:
Does not taste like curry. Just a goopy sauce - More than half the box is onion and green pepper... mostly onion.
Sweet & Sour Pork:
Have had better in shopping centers. Again, more onion and green pepper than pork.
Egg fried rice:
Was the only thing I could eat, but it is quite oily.
What annoys me even more is the lady charged us more than what our menu stated. Complete joke!
The Chinese food at Waitrose and M&S are infinitely better and that does not say MUCH!
Save your money and AVOID this PLACE!!!
