Sijie's Wanchai rival, also has been covered by the blogs but somehow escapes most people's attention. Splits opinion among my Sichuanese friends as to which place they prefer. I'm slightly partial to Sijie - probably because the proprietress there is so energetic and hilarious. Yu Chuan is tucked away in a side street in Wanchai in between Queens Road East (about halfway between 3 Pacific Place and the Hopewell Center, but on the opposite side) and Johnston Road on the first floor of a small building. Place is a bit fresher in looks than the old Sijie location, with cleaner looking white floors, a large tv playing in one corner, but only about 6 or 7 mostly large tables. The beef tripe here isn't as good as Sijie's but the kou shui ji, cold chicken appetizer is much better. Favorite dish is the cold Sichuan noodles. Other tasty dishes, like Sijie, include ma po tofu, shui zhu yu "Mandarin Fish in Chili Oil" and the stir fried green beans.
