Typical Sichuan food, very oily & spicy. If you're not a chilli lover, may try Shanghai, Hunan or Guangdong cuisine instead. The moment you walk in, the scent of chilli will hit your nose noticeably. The flavor is great. There's not much meat though. Staff are nice. There's a big parking lot at the rear.
authentic
I feel like the portions at this location at much smaller than the portions at their Capstan location which unfortunately closed. The spice level here is pretty low too. I got the spiciest level sauerkraut beef dish and it was only a tiny bit spicy. However the taste is still great and there aren’t that many authentic sichuan restaurants so I can still see myself coming back.

Based on the reviews, Ban Bu Xian Szechuan Cuisine Richmond is a favourite Sichuan spot in Vancouver. The food is well-seasoned and authentic, with one reviewer calling it the most authentic Sichuan restaurant outside the province. Specific meals mentioned include the boiled fish四川沸騰黑魚片, chili oil fish, sauerkraut beef, pork kidney with chives, stir fried lettuce stem, and deep fried lamb. However, some reviews note that the spice level can be pretty low, with the boiled fish looking spicier than it really is and the medium spice being pretty tame. The portions at this location are much smaller than at their previous Capstan location. The restaurant relocated, and the new spot seems tough for business, with lots of empty seats. The staff are really friendly. One reviewer suggests grabbing a drink from Hanlin next door to enjoy with the meal.
