Sanxia was a Sichuan restaurant in [[Locale Deptford|Deptford]]. It [http://web.archive.org/web/20191222200002/http://sanxia-deptford.co.uk/ closed down in October 2019], though as far as we know its other branches [[Sanxia, BR1 1NZ|in Bromley]] and [[Sanxia Renjia, W1T 2PP|on Goodge Street]] remained open. As of December 2019 the premises are occupied by another Sichuan restaurant called Jinjiang. The information below is retained for historical purposes. <div class="old_info"> Sichuan restaurant in [[Locale Deptford|Deptford]], with other branches [[Sanxia, BR1 1NZ|in Bromley]] and [[Sanxia Renjia, W1T 2PP|on Goodge Street]]. The decor is little-changed from [[Xi'An Restaurant, SE8 4PQ|its previous incarnation]], with plain walls, a tiled floor, and paper Chinese lanterns hanging from the low ceiling. A couple of geometric wooden screens divide up the room, making it seem a little less institutional. [[Kake]] visited on a Friday lunchtime in May 2019. I was the only eat-in customer during my visit, though the staff were also finishing up their lunch at one of the tables when I arrived just after noon, and several people came in for takeaways while I was there. Peaceful music was playing, not too loud. I ordered from their lunch menu, choosing sea spiced aubergine with minced pork (鱼香茄子; £7.20 including rice) <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/32874969857/ photo]</small>. The aubergines were cooked just right: soft but not falling apart, and rich but not greasy. The proportions of pork and aubergine were well balanced, and the sauce had a decent balance between sweet, salty, and spicy, with a good hit of ginger flavour too. The rice was fine, and the portion was just right for lunch. Service was fine. A 10% service charge was auto-added to the bill. [[Kake]]'s verdict: I'd happily come back to this and both of the other branches. Accessibility: No step to get in, and no steps to the toilets.
