River Sichuan Restaurant — Restaurant in Hong Kong

Most disappointing restaurant I just HAD to write an English review to warn any tourist that plans on going to this restaurant. First off, none of the dishes are authentic at all, they replaced chili with ground pepper which just destroyed the flavor, there shouldn’t be spring onions in this dish, there should be Sichuan peppercorn and anise but none of them are in it. They called themselves authentic SiChuan food but they used literally all the wrong ingredients that they could possibly use. I don’t see any ingredients that are supposed to be in the dish, the fish are supposed to be boneless but they aren’t, so they might be fooling tourists but certainly not us. Honestly I have no idea how they got that much likes, but I know my SiChuan food and that is nothing SiChuan whatsoever. We didn’t even finish the food because it was so bad, we just the paid the bill and left, the lady at the counter saw that and didn’t even want to give us the receipt for proof because she knows that we’re gonna write a very very very bad review about our experience, we had to demand it from her. There’s some sneaky stuff right there I’m telling ya. Strongly NOT recommend this place if you are looking for proper and authentic SiChuan food, this is NOT the place...

You can't miss River Sichuan Restaurant if you take the SYP escalators.Inside you will find their house pickles and Spicy Chili sauce that they make!

The only thing that sucks is the greasiness of the floor otherwise it is a great place to dine.

I was impressed with the noodle choices on the menu as there were so many to choose from and you can even go meatless.

They had lobster with salted egg yolk!! Imagine that!

Turtles too if that is your thing.

The Yibing noodles are a must as I have not come across any other joint that serves it.

These noodles are more commonly known as Yibing ran mian, Yibing fire noodles or Yibing Burning noodles.

They are so popular that you can find this flavour for some instant noodle!!

The essential ingredient is Sichuan yacai which is some preserved veg from Sichuan.

You toss the noodles together and eat.

For mains had the chicken which was just bones but the gravy was lovely.

The celtuce was crisp with a sweet nuttyness but a bit salty.

Finished with the Sichuan Jelly which is classic dessert to...

Here I go again. About to rate a place that I actually enjoy myself. Which means possibly I am setting myself up for misery cause there might be a queue or a book ahead situation. It's a secret spot known to the minority. The ambience is cool for a 4 person sit down and I actually recommend this number....it's a place to share a meal or as me and my wife did....selfishly eat between ourselves. How was the food.....well it got 4 stars for flavour...I don't give out 5 cause it's less believable and any restaurant with 4 means they have something and you want them to keep expanding. We'll the food was beautiful....it had flavour was perfectly spiced....it was generous and it came in the prefect time. I highly recommend it...and I shall be returning with friends to share...
