Sichuan Garden Restaurant

As newcomers to Toronto the food scene is very new to us, cuz took us here as his previous dining experience had been fantastic. We have been here twice in three weeks specifically for one dish the hot pepper chicken.
They have recently renovated and had no one told me, I would definitely say the place needs an upgrade. Pointy long chair, tables with plastic table cloth considering the greasy nature of the Sichuan food. The menu is ellobrate with enough items for vegetarians as well as those who need their share of meat, pork to fish.
A party of particularly hungry people we called in for the following:

SLICED FISH IN GARLIC SAUCE: Boneless steamed fish, had this distinct flavor of the garlic and could be eaten all by itself. Makes for a great appetizer

BEEF IN BLACK BEAN SAUCE: sliced beef pieces served with peppers in black bean sauce, so well cooked, a light gravy it tastes well with the rice and as an appetizer.

CHICKEN HOT PEPPER: this was the main. Now if you like the fire of the peppercorns, only then you should venture here. It is a big bowl of chicken, napa cabbage, and peppercorns in gravy. Large portion size, must be eaten with rice or it will flame you. Lovely. Highly recommended.

EGG FRIED RICE: serves as a catalyst for the spice of the Sichuan, as the bland of the rice soothes The flavor.

The second time around we decided to explore the menu a little more and called for
MARINATED RIBS: the meat almost melted in my mouth and tastes delicious. It's a good side dish and if you are ok with bones it is a recommended item.

EGGPLANT IN CHILLI GARLIC SAUCE: I have always liked the Chinese eggplant and wanted the cuz and husband to try it so we got this as an appetizer while we waited for the food. Very recommended if you are a Vegetarian or plan to eat vegetables while here.

CHICKEN HOT PEPPER
EGG AND SHRIMP FRIED RICE: They accidently brought this out instead of the egg rice, we were hungry and kept it. Does the job.

I like the flavor of the food and for the chicken pepper we would be returning again. There is a lot that can be done in terms of tables and sitting arrangement, it stinks at times as well. Apart from that the food is great, the service was also not bad. Overall a 3.5-4/5 and does have a repeat value.
