According to many magazines, 十二味 is a very good 川菜 restauarnt and that is the reason that I tried the lunch on 5/3/16.

Unfortunately, the description from those magazines are wrong.

There are 7 sets available at lunch time, but when we ordered, at least 2 were not available.

We ordered
1. 担担麵 -  Much below average, it is so home-made! They simply put minced pork on top of plain noodle, served with plain soup that has no taste. It is not 担担麵 for sure, it is plain noodle with minced pork only!

2. 酸辣粉 - It is not 酸 and not 辣 at all. Its taste is so strange that I can hardly describe. It looks like but not taste like 酸辣粉. It is a bit salty, with a little bit of minched pork and pickled vegetables. It is not authentic at all.

For the service, it sucks. We ordered 2 drinks but the waiters only served us one. The remaining one was not available till the last minute even we chased several times. In the end we need to cancel it but the waiters are not happy with it and we spent another 5 minutes to settle it.

There are certainly better 川菜 in Tsim Sha Tsui and there is no point to go to 十二味.
