Little Yang Sing

This was my second visit to LYS, first time was excellent service, second time was poor and we actually got in trouble for not tipping!

When we arrived we seated and drink orders were taken we waiting around 15 minutes from arriving to getting our drinks and then when they arrived they had missed off a drink.

The starters arrived but with big breaks in between them being brought out so we all waited around 5 minutes till everyone had their food. 2 people from our group ordered the same starter which was put on the same plate but no one told us, as all the starters were quite big it was hard to tell if it was just for one person. Our main meals came again it took them around 10 minutes to bring everything out (there was only 7 of us) and they had missed off an order which then had to be cancelled due to the length of time we had to wait. To be fair the food was excellent and lots of it but it was pretty pricey.

It was the first time we hadn't tipped and I never realised how much chaos it would cause. Our waitress came out to take the bill and said we had done it wrong, we explained that we had chosen not to leave a tip and told her why. Rather than her apologising about the service she got really aggressive and was very rude then the manager came out and more staff. Not one of them apologised for the service it was like we were in the wrong for not tipping! if they rely on tips then I would expect them to make a bit more effort with their service. Anyway we eventually got out of their as we was feeling very uncomfortable and threatened sat there with all the staff standing round us.

I was very disappointed this time round and I definitely wont be going there again.

we went to this restaurant on sunday 17 feb and im sorry to say the food was not the best . the prawns just didnt taste good.the salt and pepper ribs were over priced at £9.90 for a starter. and when we asked for the bill the waitress kept coming back adding things to it because she had missed things off (at least three times) .

china town is fantastic and we have tried seveal places but im sorry to say this was the worse.

The food was very good and appealed in a very authentic chinese cuisine. Service was commendable and and restaurant was quite busy early on.

This i smy favourite restaurant in Manchester. It has the nest vegetarian option in any restaurant I have been to. The food is tasty and plenty of it. The service is a little slow with large groups, so allow plenty of time!

I have eaten here many times over the yeas so was dissapointed to see the notes saying all was not well. I went witha friend onthe 18.07.07 and the staff are different. the old lady who acted as mother superior and ensured all was well has gone and a young girl acts as the captain. There was a gentleman overseeing but he did not do much. Upon entering we were shown straight to the table rather than any option to wait and have a drink first. the drinks ordered came quickly and the food was hot ,pleaniful although no one came to check all was well. the table lay out was OK with chopstick rsts and heaters for the food. Overall no complaints and i would go back. It has changed and the quality is now like other resturants whereas a few years ago it was one of the best around! As such it is now overpriced

Everything is just so bad in this rest. I am extremly dispointed.

The boss kept shouting to his staff which had gave us a hard feeling.

And it is not just the atmosphere, the food taste so bad too. It doesn't worth that much money for this kind of quality of food.

i will NOT recommend anyone go to this restaurant!

We (4) Went to LYS On Sat 24thFeb 07 and could not fault anything. We had booked a table for 7.30pm and shown straight through drinks order arrived quickly and food order arrived quickly we had to wait briefly for one dish. The food and atmosphere is always excellent here and we had no issues with any of the staff.

We shall be going back as soon as possible.

We went to Little Yang Sing just before Xmas. We were there late in the evening because it was after a concert. The service was poor, and the food was very disppointing. We paid more than £30 for a plate of roast duck and a plate of green vegetable. Not only the food was expensive, it was awful. The duck was too fatty on certain parts and too dry at others. I was embarresed for choosing to take my friends there, and I will not be going back there.

This is my favourite restaurant in Manchester, and it's ridiculously better than the Yang Sing in my opinion. I go to the Little Yang Sing a lot and have tried many dishes here, and they're normally always spot on.

The service is very good and very friendly - I remember it always being but I go here a lot as I said and know the waiters/waitresses quite well now.

Great food, expensive but fairly priced and a great, friendly atmosphere.

The food was tasty and prompt. However, the service leaves a lot to be desired. We found they made us feel a bit of an inconvenience and despite ordering our food and drinks together the drinks arrived about 20 mins after the food. (After asking 3 times).
