Shu - West Hartford

After living in China for two years and recently making the move back to the states I was craving some spicy Sichuan food. Being in Connecticut (probably one the least adventurous areas on the culinary spectrum) I was shocked to find a legitimate Sichuan restaurant in the Hartford area. Shu is by far the best authentic Sichuan food around. The dishes have the perfect degree of heat (Sichuan food tends to be spicy) and true to the style of the Sichuan region. If you're new to Sichuan food, you can't go wrong with the Dandan noodles 担担面, Spicy Chicken 辣子鸡, Poached Fish 水煮鱼, or the Double Cooked Pork 回锅肉 (All classics). If you're looking for truly authentic and delicious Chinese food, this is the place to be.

We enjoyed our meal very much and the service was friendly, relaxed and accommodating . We will be coming back.

Hands down best Sichuan in the area. Spicy, crunchy, chewy, sweet, awesome.

Just move from NYC . This is The best Chinese food I ever eat .

One of only 3 authentic Chinese restaurants in the Hartford area, along with their sister restaurant, Han Restaurant. When I first started going here, I was the only non-Chinese in the restaurant. That's a good sign when the majority of the clientele is Chinese.
