Three of our favorites from The Sichaun - Seabass, Aubergine and Lobster. 

Move over Bar Shu, there is a new emperor in town. The executive chef from Bar Shu and Hutong in the Shard has opened a look-alike Sichuan restaurant in Shoreditch and it is excellent. Some dishes are equal to Bar Shu like the Kung Pao prawns but other dishes are actually better, including the Sichuan sea bass in chilis, and shredded aubergine with chopped, salted, fresh chili. The spectacular lobster noodle for £18 is cheaper than the burger at Burger & Lobster.
