Yin Li Sechuan Restaurant

Overpriced, oversalted, and oily. The waiter apparently thought the menu contained nuclear launch codes and would not let us browse the items while we waited.
You are better off eating from the stands on the street or the covered market nearby.

We tried pot luck going to Yi Li before a concert just around the corner.
BBQ duck was tasteless, cut into small pieces so you couldn’t see where it came from. Jelly-​like Hoisin sauce on the thick, uneven pancakes allowed you to swallow. Pork ribs also tasteless with a few bits of shallots and chillies on the plate. Chinese spinach was served in a greenish, MSG (?) goop the likes of which I have never seen before. Fish awaiting their fate stared at us through the algal blooms in their tank.
Luckily we had some wine to dull our senses. That was fine.
When it came time to pay, there was a queue of 10 people with one cashier jumping between her register, calculator, and paper orders she couldn’t read.
And the floor was sticky.
We were really sorry for the couple next to us who had travelled all the way from Israel to experience this embarrassment to Sydney tourism.
Luckily Sting and Paul Simon made up for sad start to the evening.
Highly NOT recommended.

Service was slow and the food was not good at all. If I could have gotten my money back I would have.
Pleasant atmosphere though and staff that really did seem to want to do their best.

Wandering around Sydney Chinatown discovered this little jewel. I haven’t had any good Szechuan since LA and PHX. so I decided there was only one prescription for the remedy; more Szechuan Peppercorn! They delivered on the authenticate taste. My tongue and lips were tingling and numb. A great little stop before heading over for the fireworks show on Sat. Night.
