Found in 1947, Wan Lai Yuen (詠藜園四川菜館) offers authenticated Sichuan food. Throughout the years, I have visited the restaurant a few times. As I recall, dinner can be quite pack and don’t expect much services. Recently, I have visited the restaurant twice for lunch and to my surprise, it wasn’t pack and the staffs were a lot friendlier in comparison. They offer 2 types of dan dan noodles (擔擔麵); “Signature Dan Dan Noodles” and “Special Dan Dan Noodles w/ Minced Pork & Peanut Sauce”. I personally prefer the special one cause the added meat and peanut sauce enhanced the flavor. Another house specialty was xiao long bao (小籠包), where the thinly made flour skin were filled with the right amount of meat and soup. If you like spicy food, can also try their pan-fried chilli peppers (虎皮尖椒) as not many restaurants in Hong Kong offer this dish. As for dessert, you can’t go wrong with their red bean paste pancake (豆沙鍋餅).

I have been to Wing Lai Yuen long ago and have a good memory of the DanDan noodle here. Years passed by, and when I looked this place up on Google Maps, I was surprised to see those bad reviews about this place, especially regarding the attitude of the staff. When I visited it last weekend, I found the reviews are so true. The cashier seemed to have a terrible mood and shouted at us from the moment we stepped in. We can't feel any hospitality, and the staff is not even trying to settle us in, even though we are a group of 8. We ordered several dishes to share. We found the food mediocre and nothiny Wowed us. Dandan noodle (擔擔麵) is ok but not the best i have ever had. Xialongbao (小籠包) is also just ok but not the best I have ever had. Chilli oil with dumpling (紅油抄手) is not very flavorful. Pan fried meat bun (生煎包) has very little meat and quite dry. Boiled fish with pickled cabbage (酸菜魚) is too salty and very little fish. After this lunch, I mentioned this restaurant to a friend who lives in this neighborhood. My friend also said she only went to that restaurant twice and never step in again as the staff's attitude is too bad.

Just alright, it's quite cheap but quality is not as good as expected. Average only. The spicy beef stir fried to go with the wrap is way too oily, doesnt have enough favour either. Tam tam noodle in peanut soup base wasn't special, handmade noodle was quite smooth and chewy tho. The deep fried bun is way too oily too, didn't fried good enough. Soy milk has a weird taste probably because of the plastic cups they use and clean. Sauce for the chicken cold dish wasn't good enough. So won't come back again unless very hungry and being nearby.

I visited with old store quite a few times, when I lived in Diamond Hill. I moved, they moved. Saw this shop a few days ago, prompted me to come here for lunch. Dan Dan noodle (modified version) tasted very good indeed. Saw many interesting dishes on the menu, that I need to gather some more people to return here in order to refresh my memories. Verdict: My stomach says YES. I shall return.

Although it is not in a tourist location, still many people queue up long time to get a table. Weekday maybe better. We tired some less popular dish, such as the Chinese ham and bun, smoked fish. Amazing . The ambience is bit old, I am glad I have came before they moved to a new location .

Came here before our hike to Lion Rock Peak. Its a small local restaurant serving Shanghai and SiChuan food. Absolutely recommend their Dan Dan noodles (擔擔面), Xiao Long Bao (小籠包) and tofu with thousand years egg (皮蛋豆腐). The price was reasonable and the portions quite big.
