Most Disliked
While Yipin Bashu receives much love, some detractors mention the challenge of navigating a predominantly Mandarin menu, which can feel like a bit of a lucky dip for first-timers. Having limited English descriptions can sometimes make ordering tricky for non-Chinese speakers.
A few patrons have pointed out that not every dish pleases every palate; those who prefer milder flavors might find the spicy options overwhelming. This restaurant lives up to its Sichuan reputation, and while many enjoy the heat, it might not suit everyone’s taste.
The casual layout, while friendly, has also drawn comments about noise levels during busier hours, which may affect those seeking a quieter dining environment. Lastly, some guests wish for more vegetarian options beyond the standard offerings.

I had a nice meal here! The fried fish was nice and crispy! The salt and pepper flavour was great with the egg fried rice 😋 I also ordered a vegetable noodles as well by request because it originally has meat in it. Thank you for this change 💕✨🌈

First time coming here and was surprised by how good the dishes are. This place specialises in Szechuan dishes (meaning very spicy) and everything we ordered tasted delicious. We would definitely go there again and try out other items on the menu.

Real authentic food. A lot of the menu is in Mandarin so it is a bit of a lucky dip at times. Flavours are so good. Dan Dan Noodles are a must.

As a chinese, this is some very authentic Sichuan food and what a gem in Coventry. Fast serve and great service, plus there is no service charge! Menu price is by no means expensive (i live in London). If you are Chinese or local looking for some real Chinese food, this is a place worth visiting. If you just want some Chinese food catered to local style, you probably will not be overwhelmed. Anyway for me, I'm definitely coming back to Coventry for this again :)
