Ma La Sichuan Menu

Ma La Sichuan is a Chinese restaurant at 37 Monck Street in Westminster, close to the centre of London. Its cooking explores the breadth of Sichuan flavour, balancing aromatic spice, chilli heat and the numbing quality associated with Sichuan pepper rather than treating every dish as identical.

The menu includes recognisable regional dishes such as mouth-watering chicken, mapo tofu, gong bao chicken and sea bass served in sizzling chilli oil. Crispy aromatic duck, sweet and sour ribs, salt and pepper squid and black pepper rib-eye beef broaden the choices for a table sharing several contrasting plates.

Rice and noodle dishes make it equally practical for a more compact meal. Classic Sichuan dan dan noodles sit alongside braised beef noodle soups, stir-fried noodles, udon, Singapore rice noodles and fried rice, with vegetable versions included among the options.

The restaurant accepts table bookings and also offers collection and delivery, though advance reservations are recommended for dining in. Guests who are sensitive to spice or have allergies should speak with staff because recipes may contain ingredients such as peanuts, sesame, egg and soya, and the level of chilli can vary by dish.

Address: 37 Monck Street, London SW1P 2BL, England
