WE VISITED THE YANG SING ON A TUESDAY EVENING
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Nov 22 2006
We have been back on numerous occasions. The reason because everything about the restaurant is top class. The food the service is fabulous. O.K maybe slightly more expensive than other restaurants of the same ilk but really worth it. We travel from liverpool just to go to the Yang Sing.Any special occasions thats where we go. In fact we will be there this evening. The restaurant has 2 floor our prefered floor is the lower,just seems to have more umph about it and maybe because thats the floor we first used.

I have been to the Yang Sing several times, both before and after the rebuild following the fire. I have been the host and a guest and always had a superb time. The staff are friendly and always seem to be smiling, however busy and under pressure they may be. The food is superb and the service efficient. I have never felt 'rushed' as is common in many restaurants. I will return as often as I can as every visit is a "special occasion". Both my wife and I are disabled but they have always made us most welcome. The TV documentary made during the rebuild and refurbishment was one of the best adverts for Manchester and clearly showed how committed the Yeung family are. They deserve the success they have, every bit of it and I recommend anyone who wants to eat the best in Chinese meals, to visit the Yang sing once. After that, you will want to return.

I had read and heard a lot about Yang Sing before my partner and I made the trip to Manchester and booked in. It was supposed to be especially good for veggies and the cuisine authentic. It has an excellent reputation. So we were looking forward to a superb meal. I have to say we were disappointed. The menu is pretty extensive and the service attentive and considerate. The waitress, Iris, advised us on our choices and encouraged us to order only as much as we needed rather than overspending. This was refreshing, but unfortunately an indication of what is a fundamental problem with the restaurant's approach to food and its clientele. Basically, the restaurant is set up to serve large groups - at least four people, but preferably six upwards. Each serving is huge and therefore relatively expensive, especially the fish dishes. If you are a couple eating at the restaurant there is no option to have a small or half portion so that you can have a mix of say, four or five different dishes as you would if you were ordering as a group. Therefore we ordered two huge bowls of noodles and beancurd in a spicy schizuan sauce and it was far too much to eat between two and we were soon sick of both. The beancurd was supposed to be fried, too, and it clearly wasn't. Frankly, it was enough to put me off beancurd for life. The sauce was pretty unsubtle and I can't imagine it was in anyway authentic. In summary, the restaurant shows signs of complacency and should start thinking about the individual customer who might be out for a well-cooked meal rather than a homogenous production line of large groups out on the town.
