Authentic and wallet-friendly Northern Chinese and Sichuanese joint in the heart of Wanchai seemingly unnoticed by non-Chinese. Often a line out the door at dinner times. Cozy place that seats maybe 20-25. Claims to be Sichuanese but has the Chinese name for a courtyard house, found in old school Beijing neighborhoods called Hutongs. Serves Northern Chinee and Sichuanese fare and does well at both.
Shui Zhu Yu (pictured below), the fiery numbing traditional fish and noodles in a spicy broth was a strong effort but not on par with nearby Yuchuan Club, but did not leave anyone complaining...or hungry. Di San Xian, a classic Northeastern dish consisting of stir fried eggplant, potato and peppers was cooked beautifully and would not feel out of place in any kitchen in Northeast China. Suan la tudou si, another northeastern Chinese dish of sour and spicy shredded potatoes was more on the sour side with a slight kick, as in most places; potatoes were slightly crisp and served slightly below room temperature. Lovely.
