Yang Sing

had a meal for four people,sweet & sour pork,chicken with crispy noodles,and a king prawn dish plus dim sum dishes.the staff were friendly, the atmosphere was so so,drinks were fine, the food was the real let down.portion size was small.

pork dish was over cooked,no sauce and very small portion size,prawn dish was poor,chicken dish was poor,rice was ok soft noodles were poor,dim sum were fine.I would not eat there again and having eaten at the little yang sing which was good, i was disappointed. Bill for this 110.00.

whilst on a trip to manchester recently we decided to treat ourselves, as its only once in a blue moon we get to do something like this, and splash out on a meal in the legendary yang sing. what in fact we were treated to was quite possibly the worst chinese meal i have ever experienced. and to add insult to injury, aside from the dingy surroundings and inhospitable staff, the cold, tasteless, bland mush we were served up with was charged at an unbelievable extortionate price. all in all, the worst most expensive meal i have ever had the misfortune to eat.

Having looked forward to a meal in China town since living away in Cornwall, we picked the Yang Sing expecting the best. Sadly it was far from this. The service was slow, non of the courses were served to each of us at the same time, the main prawn dish was luke warm, and when it was re served it wasn't any hotter. As the other dish was also going cold we opted for one meal between the two of us After complaining we were given an abrupt apology, told we would not be charged for the food we sent back, and given free pineapple! Nice of them not to charge for the food that we couldn't eat. There was no complementary drink, no offer of discount, or an alternative meal. They really didn't care.

firmly disagree with the previous review. had the £35 banquet and it was superb, a never ending selection of truly delicious food was delivered to the table. Had one or two members of staff that weren't totally up to standard but equally had others that were engaging and friendly. well worth a trip.

Been to the Yang Sing with friends, we are so disappointed about the food and the service we have received for the amount of money that was charged. Will not recommend it to anyone and shall not go again. Waiting staff did not even apologise for the wrongly delivered food or offer to take it off the bill, we were charged fully for something we did not order and nothing was done after a complaint with the staffs. The Yang Sing Restaurant is not at all what is advertised to be on the website. Not value for moeny with very poor service. One of the worst meals we have had!

I always wondered why this restaurant is "raved" about from the press. I've visited about 3 times over the last 15 years..... I do this because I think I must be missing something or I just happened to have a bad meal?. The place is a disgrace to China Town, there are at least 6 other restaurants that charge half the price for double the quality, I've never understood the appeal of it? I think because footballers eat there "it must be great"... it isn't. It's slightly below average. The little yang sing is much better than it's "big brother", also Pearl City restaurant may not be the most pleasing on the eye but the food is considerably better than this stuff.

My friend and went to Yang Sing last week at lunchtime.

After having heard so much about it we decided to treat ourselves. What a disaster!

We were taken to the basement, old chairs and an army of miserables waiters. Not a great atmosphere to start with.

The food was shockingly horrible and not cheap! Never again!

Spent New Year's Eve in Yang Sing, hadn't booked but managed to get a table.

We both had the New Year's Eve banquet for £38.50/head. Food was average, small portion of aromatic duck with more crispy fat than meat. Main course of seafood parcel - very small, and fillet steak was covered with jack daniels at our table and lit..all the booze hadn't been burnt off so we were left with a pretty unpleasant taste.

At one point a waitress dragged a coat through our food and didn't apologise, the head waiter was rude and looked to be bullying some of his staff.

Final bill was £120 with wine, will not be going back as the food/service was way below average.

We were recommended this restaurant by someone we trust and generally found the food to be ok (we had the set banquet for three for about £75). The dim sum was good but the main courses were pretty average. What was a real let down was the service which was bordering on rude. When it came to paying the bill the "waitress" was very keen to point out that the bill did not include a service charge and that we should pay extra. In an attempt to leave without encuring her wrath I placed about £2.50 on the tray and we fled! From reading other reviews, the chinese restaurants of Manchester would appear to be a very hit and miss affair. I recommend a visit to my home city of Lancaster to the Fortune Star on Dalton Square. Great food, lovely service, good value and never a disappointment.

Worth the trip!
