Canton House in Manchester

Ordered a takeaway, salt and chilli chicken, noodles, chicken curry and salt and chilli chips. Absolutely incredible. One of the best takeaways I've had. Would definitely order again

Absolutely lovely food and wonderful staff! Would highly

Lovely good, huge portions. A great deal all round

Very good indeed. The interior decoration is relatively old, the taste of the dishes is not so heavy, but the taste is very good. The price is not high, but acceptable and the service is great. Will come again.

we went there but,it’s closed at the time. unfortunately it’s not even written in the website.

Overall, the food is good but overpriced for the quality offered. Poor variety of drinks, no draft beer for example (maybe because of COVID?). The place needs an update in terms of decor (looks a bit decayed for my taste) but it's not that urgent. The atmosphere is chill and the staff was nice.

Over ordered on dimsum but ate them all nonetheless - great family owned and run business

Super friendly staff, very accommodating . Dumplings were delicious and they serve authentic Chinese cuisine . Ask the staff for their recommendations and you won't be disappointed ! Would come again. The dim sum menu and the crispy pork belly were my favorite

Last came here in 1998, it was amazing, opulent, proper night out. Today I realise they’ve been trading on their reputation and not focusing on the food and experience. Decor in need of massive updating, felt like a canteen. Food, had to wait, when it came it was warm, not hot, warm food drives me mad. Quality of food was average at best. Staff was nice. The same for the Little Yang Sing which I went to 2 months ago, both restaurants with the original owner created great restaurants, but two decades later that vision and passion for food and experience wasn’t passed for the next generation. Why did I leave it 20years? Because I moved out of Manchester and have the Choy Hing Village on my doorstep which is still fab. I had four courses banquet for £30 pp. they added 10% service. Would never recommend it.

Great staff, the venue needs investment, too much lighting and not enough intimacy. Food is good but not amazing.

Lets just say this wasnt the restaurant i remember fondly from many years ago. The setting resembled a 70's function room; (and a bad one at that!) and i half expected Basil Fawlty to walk out at any time. It appears something has happened to close the main restaurant so they are now using the upstairs section temporarily and you cant half tell... the pass was partly made out of empty crisp boxes. 2 stars as the food wasnt terrible but the dining experience was unique to say the least with some staff that could have appeared in the munsters!

Love this place. Ordered Congee and variety of dim sum, really fresh! Staff were really attentive and helpful too. Will be returning next time I’m in Manchester!

I'm sorry but this is awful. From the food to the staff to the decor to the price, this is exactly kind of place that should be closed down. Plain and simple. Good restaurants, sod that, average restaurants are losing business as long as this place stays open. We arrived, shown the table in a near empty sad vault of a room that resembled a 70s function hall. We asked the waiter what he would recommend from a vast menu (surprisingly lacking in many vegetable options, despite it's size). His reply, I've only been here 3 months, I've never tried the food. But I do like Sushi (sic). Another waiter appeared, we gave her our order, she said, I won't have that it's too Chinese, or if you like tofu, I would have the prawns and saffron (I kid you not.) In fact twice she would point out a completely different meat dish when we ordered a fish dish. Naturally, the vegetarian Ma Po came with pork, less expected was the argument with manager over whether it was pork or not. Leaving a restaurant had never been so sweet

I went to the Yang Sing last night with my family. Not having been there for some years I was hopeful that the meal would be of the high standard that I remembered. We were not disappointed. Whilst there are some alterations being made on the lower floor, the room where we ate was clean, spacious and well laid out. The staff could not do enough for us even coming to help us sing Happy Birthday to my grandson. But, most importantly, the food was simply delicious, we all enjoyed our dishes. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience. Well done Yang Sing.

The service given was excellent

Great food. Lovely staff. Top marks

Lovely place, some of the best Chinese food I've had in a long time. Snug little place with comfy decors and the host and the staff are absolutely wonderful. Would recommend 10/10

The decor needs updating.lacks atmosphere.food was ok

Really attentive staff and dim sum menu good.

Very authentic dim sum. Feels like home. Came all the way from Sheffield for some canton food. Did not disappoint. Thank you. Will come back again.

First visit back to Manchester in 30 years. The Yang Sing is a relevation. The food is to die for, the service is first rate and all the staff are attentive, and make you feel you are the only customers. Well done everyone. are the only

sorry, but it was just ok. food was nice, but not as i remembered it. went for my 50th & we had a nice time, but something was missing.

Expensive and overcooked, way too salty

We had a lovely meal here. One of our group had dietary restrictions. The staff went above and beyond to ensure the meal was tasty as well as okay to eat. (The toilets are down on the lower floor so take your jacket if you need to go.)

Great food, worth the trip to the 2nd floor

Service was good but they cannot call this Chinese food. Expensive and not authentic

Very disappointed. The duck and pancakes came after the main course. Their explanation for this was because the kitchen was closing. Food was very bland. Service very slow. Had the cheek to add 10% service charge on. Will not be returning.

Siu mai and chicken feet are good Shrimp in shrimp dumplings not fresh Skip the fried dim sum (over fried)

I can honestly say this place has gone downhill no longer worth the trip to Manchester building looks Shabby and is in need of serious redecoration the food and service is just no longer special very disappointed

food good , sad not been for years , needs a revamp No atmosphere, most floors closed . much better places to eat

Good tasty food. Really enjoyed it.

食物不差。但叫了揚州炒飯。量確是少。但有位服務很好的廣東話服務員。其它外籍也很有禮貌。蘿蔔榚偏鹹但好食。素春卷細條且貴，不建議食。

Food was delicious and service was fantastic.

They added £10 onto my bill as a service charge. Infuriating. The service was slow. We must have sat there 30 minutes after finishing. I don't like being a prisoner for the bill. The food really wasn't anything special. To be perfectly honest, I don't think it was any better than my local Chinese despite costing twice as much.

Food was ok, wouldn't say its was as amazing as we had been told.

Delicious! - great Dim Sum spot and lovely staff

Lovely food. Lots of gluten free options, including sweet and sour dishes, which is a dream for many GF people. Service was good. A little bit confusing when dishes came out, Particularly starters. We were a party of 9, and were generally well looked after. The function room was the main restaurant as they said there had been a fire and they were waiting for final safety checks. This meant no tea or coffee for afters, which was disappointing. However, the food was delicious and I had my first sweet and sour chicken in 8 years.

Fabulous food great hospitality

Fantastic service warm and friendly atmosphere catered for our individual needs food was best Chinese I have tasted..Katya was the best hist ever

Staff were really lovely and helpful. Food was delicious thoroughly satisfied 😌

Lovely dim sum, could probably get better in Manchester China Town though. However the service was top notch, would recommend for a chilled scran.

We never got to eat here so I can't comment on the food. We, a party of three, had travelled to Manchester to celebrate my 50th birthday and this restaurant was top of our list to dine at. The reception we had was so frosty and unwelcoming we decided not to eat there. We sought out Jade City instead where a jolly old time was had by all

Ordered via ubereats on 17 June. Rang to Yang Sing and they agreed to cancel order as it was only few minutes after the order was places. £48.60 was charged without getting anything. This is very bad. Updated on 9 July 2021 A lady from Yangsing contact us on 5 July and she offered to ask refund from Ubereats. We got the refund today, very helpful and efficient. Will go back again to have their delicious Dim Sum.

Went for the 5 course banquet. From the soup, dim sum, ribs, half a duck (that was crisp and succulent), a whole sea bass and a massive plate of crunchy beef - all cooked perfectly and full of flavour. Warning: unless you're Desperate Dan you may struggle to finish this meal. Fortunately the wonderful staff were more than happy to give us a doggy bag for what we couldn't manage.

Best chinese restaurant in Manchester for me

Very good Hong Kong style Dim Sum with great service.

Pretty good, really nice salt and pepper tofu.

Beautiful dining experience! Prompt service, friendly staff and delicious food! 💯 I ordered the beef dumplings with spring onions as a starter and the jellyfish with dried shrimp and vegetables as a main. They didn't have dried shrimp so they very graciously surprised me with fresh fried shrimp. The ambience is so perfect with the signature red decor and Chinese lanterns.

Dined last night , bottom level shut due to fire. Sat upstairs a couple of floors up , makeshift tables and no proper arrangement , decor etc. Service very poor for food and drinks. Crispy duck for starter was verging inedible , too dry and burnt. Not worth the money. Sea bass overcooked and chewy overpriced at £35. Special fried rice with loads of lettuce in , never had this before wasn't nice. Always visit once a year and food has been good and the service. Appears to me it has gone downhill will not be visiting again !!

We wished we had gone elsewhere. Prawn toast greasy. Dim sum congealed gloop. Service designed to get you out in 30 minutes. Kitchen trollies rattling past the entrance. Never again. Not the same place I visited one month pre lockdown.

The food is amazing the staff are welcoming and attentive.

Sadly this restaurant needs major refurbishment, they aren't cheap , so would have expected it to be much nicer inside, but carpet old and shabby and half an inch of dust on window sills. Disappointing when they had all this time whilst closed, to clean! Staff were kind and friendly however. And food medioca

Amazing customer service, exceptional food. Highly recommend.

Awesome, far exceeding any Chinese restaurant I've been too so far. The salt and pepper ribs and BBQ Duck are so delicious. Service was great too highly Recommend!

Honestly this pains me to say as I'm a big fan of the place, but totally let down in the Yang Sing on my Lads girlfriends 21st.. They've had a fire downstairs so are currently seating people up on the 4th floor. Now putting us in another room would be fine, except the room they put us in (function room) looked grotty and tired, the lighting was like a 1000watt bulb in the middle of the room, (zero thought to ambience) and decor dated and tatty.The food wasn't special as it always was, in fact I've had better from my takeaway at home. They put food on the table, forgetting half of the stuff we ordered, the staff seemed clueless, I even had to get up and tell them at one point I was not happy..No dessert offered, no coffee, just given a bill for £300+. Won't be going again..no value for money, and other restaurants kicking there arse for service.

We asked for something different, we told staff what food we like , asked them to surprise us , wow , they didn't disapoint , dim sum , never heard of it but starters were top notch & mains were bang on the money

Honestly best food I've had in awhile. We ordered absolutely loads of menu items. Kung pao chicken was amazing lovely nd spicy, salt and pepper chicken was slightly on the salty side but was great quality. Crispy chilli beef was the best I've ever had. Duck was cooked great and loads of pancakes. Spring rolls full of flavour. The highlight of the night was definitely the steamed bao buns dessert. We had hedgehog and steamed buns. Absolutely mouthwatering. Service was great but obviously with lockdown over new staff were there and were not as strong or trained as the other staff so required some assistance.

Food was good, but they have moved upstairs and the setting isn't very appealing, Be careful when ordering wine by the glass, they wanted £27 for to glasses, they did refund one of the wines as we asked for a pinot and the waiter deciced to book it down as something different. But you can't fault the food

Excellent food and service. Note that it's a trip to the second floor (lift or stairs) to pick up a take-away at the moment. Looking forward to visiting the restaurant when restrictions are lifted.

This was better than expected. We ordered a variety of dishes and every one was delicious. Will definitely order again

Manchester classic,but so sad to see it takeaway only. Praying that it opens soon.

Always a pleasure being here, food is marvelous, service is wonderful, everything is amazing! I love it here! Thank you

Tasty Chinese food from an Asian’s perspective, but they should’ve warned the prices on the menu weren’t for Asian size... Take a look at the bean sprouts, it was a side but I was like “that’s like a whole dish for a family of four” when it came, likewise for the prawn egg rice... dim sum was just right. Just imo, a little too much MSG. *** Uncle Roger should come here ***

I've not been to the Yang Sing for about 10 years. My family and I used to go very regularly but then it went downhill and we started frequenting a different restaurant in Manchester Chinatown. Anyway, we thought, we would give it another try (just for old times' sake). The service was very pleasant and the starters were nice as well, good so far. However the main was just average (about 5/10) The crispy chili beef was too "crispy" to be edible and the sweet and sour was reminiscent of a cheap takeaway. At the end of the meal, we were going to leave a tip. However, when we were presented with the bill, there was a "service charge" of nearly £10!! so we just left it at that. In summary, it has a long way to go to reach its former glory.

Alas not what it used to be. Had 4 dishes Duck and pancakes. Fabulous Dim sum platter - very watery and not much flavour going on Crispy chilli beef. Honestly the one from my local chippy is 10 x better Singapore vermicelli. Actually excellent

Had a fantastic birthday meal here, staff were friendly, food was delicious and there was plenty of it! Highly recommend

Traditional family meeting place

Average chinglish restaurant. I was hoping for some level of authenticity, however post order of mapo tofu one was sadly disappointed....

Haven't visited the Yang Sing for many years since I moved away. When so much else has changed in Manchester it was great to discover that the Yang Sing still offers great food and friendly service.

Happy relaxed atmosphere. Dim sum delicious. Very friendly staff

4 of us ate in...the won ton soup is delicious packed with lots of really tasty wontons. We ordered around 15 different dim sum. All were realy tasty and with the obligatory chilli oil went down a treat.

My favourite Chinese in Manchester. The spring rolls (and dim sum in general) are to die for. Always eat well here and worth the extra cost.

Really good for Chinese food and halal too 😊

A restaurant that is usually buzzing and deserves to be, was almost empty on a Thursday night 😭 The food and service however were of the usual hight standard. Yes, I understand and support the wish to thank the NHS workers, but sorry, the 'graffiti' on the windows..... 👎

Food was OK. The service was dire and we waited ages to be served. A group in the table next to us got so fed up with waiting, they stood up and left! I mean an hours wait between courses! Really?!

Went 08/08/2020 will not be back.Two meals sent back due to being cold waitress not interested not even an apology.|Better places to spend our money

Table booked for 8pm, had to wait outside toll 8.30pm, went inside had to wait till 8.45 for the table. Food was horrendous, prawn toast barely warm and very little prawn on them, Singapore Vermacelli too salty, chicken in black bean sauce no taste, as though the chicken had been boiled and a sauce poured over, steak and mushroom dish just about ok. Not like it usually is, must have changed the chef or something. Very disappointed.

The food was ok. The flavour was not there and lacking. The decor of the place wasn't the greatest and the quality and setting of the meals does not meet to their prices(too expensive for what it is). Overpriced. Flavourless. Will not come back.

Very poor service Long wait from 7.30 booking Food not served till 22.30 Don’t know what is the process As others were Served even came after Never going to come back again

Very poor services came at 7.30 and it is 22.13 and still waiting for main course!!! Maybe we can wait for a bit more and perhaps then we will be served breakfast!!!!

very poor service. Waited for 2 hours. Shame

Very good food, belly pork was delicious

Best Chinese restaurant in Manchester!

The restaurant is definitely in need of a full refurbishment and we were disappointed with the shredded duck

Amazing food! Great menu, friendly staff, fair prices and good service. I had the Har Kau dim sum and sizzling topside black bean beef which were both excellent and the beef was really tender and flavourful! They also have a great selection of beers and wine to choose from.

Not as good as the one in the trafford centre but still decent

Nice staff however the food was dreadful, very expensive for what it was too... only visited here because the girl I'm currently seeing booked us in and I hadn't explained to her the difference between the Yang sing and the little Yang sing... Very disappointing! 2 stars instead of one because the staff were very friendly and the bathroom is nice.

Great food and service would definitely go again

Despite all the covid restrictions this is still one of the tastiest places to eat in Manchester

The food quality was below average and overpriced

Thank you!! For making our Eid Celebrations special. The food was delicious! 💛 💚 ❤️ 💚 A true authentic taste of China 🇨🇳 💛💚. All the dishes were delivered perfectly. Thank you

Ordered via Deliveroo. Noodles with pork almost inedible due to lack of cooking and hardly any meat. Dim sum also disappointing - too greasy and lack any flavour. Spring rolls were good. But for an order worth £50, one dish being good isn't great.

a racist restaurant poor service and overly priced

Not been here for 20 plus years but it was worth the wait. Excellent food, easy to find and you can park close by in the "China Town" NCP car park. Visiting a "proper" Chinese restaurant makes you wonder why you bother with takeaways! No comparison in the quality. Recommended.

Good food and efficient service.

Had dim sum around 3pm. The food was awful and I was not surprised that we were one of the two tables in a large dining room. Won't go back.

Nice Chinese not the nicest I've ever had but could tell the quality of the food was spot on. Service was very good also.

Very authentic food, friendly staff and exquisite decor 🥢 Hand made Chinease goodness! If you're not sure if you'll like certain dishes, I highly recommend the Dim Sum menu (like tapas, if you're familiar with this)

Nice experience and food was very good

Great food and friendly staff. Can’t wait to visit again.
