This is the first Sichuan restaurant I've tried in HK (so I'm not really sure how this compares to other Sichuan restaurants), but it is authentic!
As the other Yelper mentioned, this restaurant's style is like private dining. Instead of your regular full menus, their entire menu is on a one-sided piece of paper. It works like this: it is $300 HKD per person, and for a table of 2-3 people, you get to pick 2 appetizers and 3 main courses (4 main courses for a party of 3). Each additional main course costs $100 HKD. For larger parties, the price per person is still the same, but the number of dishes you get increases.
The food was pretty authentic. You taste and feel the numbing Sichuan peppercorns in their dishes. These were the dishes we ordered:
Sliced spiced beef and tripe (appetizer; 夫妻肺片) - It was good!
Cold edible tree fungus (appetizer) - A good balance between vinegar and soy sauce in the wood ear mushrooms
Sautéed chicken cartilage with spicy red chill (main course; 辣子雞軟骨) - This was delicious! They twisted the original dish (made with small pieces of chicken and bone) with chicken cartilage instead. The cartilage is then stir fried with lots of peppercorns and dried chili peppers. You basically get a dish piled high full of chilis, and you dig through the dish to find the small pieces of chicken. The chicken cartilage had a crunchy texture and it was quite fragrant.
Fish with preserved vegetables (main course; 酸菜魚) - Authentic and yummy!
Stir fried bean threads with ground pork (main course; 螞蟻上樹) - Literally meaning "ants climbing up a tree", this dish was overly salty for our liking. Too bad.
Sautéed shredded potatoes in spicy and sour sauce (main course; 酸辣土豆絲) - The potato slices weren't thin enough for my liking, and the dish would have been better if the potato slices were less starchy. This one's a miss.
All in all, this place serves up authentic Sichuan dishes. Although some of the dishes could have been better, they make up for it by executing the good ones really well!
Note: Cash only and don't expect a good ambiance. When you walk into the restaurant, you won't find a reception of any sort, but just tables. Heck, I don't even think I saw a sign above their door. Their service is really friendly though!
