Little Yang Sing in Manchester

We keep going to China town in Manchester, thinking of trying somewhere new, and we keep ending up in The Little Yang Sing, and it never disappoints. Food, ambience, and service are all great. (But we'll have to try somewhere else next time!)

I had such a disappointing experience here last night. We were really enjoying the food and the service, until I found plastic in my main meal and the "boss" did NOT deal with this well. He sent his staff over to take our food away fast, and they started to clean the table around us while we were still sat there finishing our drinks and waiting to pay. He took the cheapest item off the bill and that was it, no actual apologies, just argumentative mutterings about how he doesn't know how it got there (almost insinuating I planted it? LOL). We would have been returning customers, had he dealt with this better.

Excellent. One of the best restaurants in Manchester.

Lovely Chinese Food Choices, Service & Venue. To Celebrate Family Events & Memories. Thank You

The food at this place was a new experience and I very much loved it. I’m coming back soon

The food is delicious and the prices are suitable for two people

The food was awesome. Customer Service was 1 star, everything was so rushed and no one payed attention to us. I may go back again because the food was amazing.

We arrived at 5:30 for dinner and had a wonderful experience at The Little Yang Sing. Service was FLAWLESS, the food generous and full of flavours (we had the kunpo, mushroom fritters w/ satay sauce, and veggie dumplings). I would 100% recommend this restaurant and its lovely atmosphere. Thank you! Thumbs up for all the veggie options, it’s quite rare to have so many options. The only downside: we felt that the director was being quite harsh on the employees (talking to them rudely and giving them a lesson in front of the clients). I am a waitress myself and have always appreciated when my managers explained an error calmly and in private.

Brilliant restaurant loverly atmosphere will continue to visit went with family and noticed various age ranges present x

Stopped off here for dinner before getting the train home and thought the food was absolutely lovely and great service too.

Classic meals at a favourite venue.

The food in here was loverly......... Just the service was pretty slow, took almost 40 mins from when we were sat down to when they took our drink order, ( there was only four of us). If they i proved there service, I would come again

The food was really nice even though it’s extortionate. But service from the manager was awful and he was very rude. Table sizes are tiny but he won’t put you on a bigger table even when the place is almost empty because you’re just a table of 2 which made no sense. He was rude to his staff as well who were nice.

Nice , no complaints … just nice ✌️

Loved this place. Great food and run like a well oiled machine without losing its charm. Might be some of the best Chinese food I’ve tasted. Love that they specialize in not MSG.

One of the best food here it is really good

Looking for a place to have dinner while walking around China Town we found this place and were delighted. Incredible price-quality ratio and a lot of quantity! We made some baos to share (very large) and a plate each, some noodles and a rice with chicken and vegetables. We couldn't finish it and took it to go and had the leftovers for dinner the next day. We will repeat if we return to Manchester because the food is very good, adequate service and a very spacious place with enough room for quite a few people without being overwhelming.

This is the 2nd time we've been here and, although there was a 30 minute wait, we didn't mind as it was Saturday night so to be expected. The staff never stopped and worked so hard throughout the time we were there. The food was amazing, in fact it may well have been better than the last time we came, if that's possible. The gyoza is to die for and the only downside is that it can't be bought as an entire meal as we could've eaten it all night. The setting and decor is lovely and it's obviously very popular and for good reason. It is expensive but as we don't eat there all the time, we see it as a special treat.

We had the banquet for four. A detailed and varied selection. Great taste and friendly service . Thank you

Fantastic chinese banquet. So much food had to bring half home. Services is always good.

I have been to Little Yang Sing a number of times and it’s consistently great service, atmosphere and delicious food. It also has a vast menu to choose from. Highly recommend.

What a great find. Highly recommended, great service with friendly staff and fantastic food. I tried the banqueting menu which was incredible but it beat me and couldn't finish! (They of course offered to package it up to take home). Loved it! Would be great for groups or 2 people.

Good food and good service. A very pleasant experience. I’d happily pay for this out of my own pocket.

Exceptional food, exceptional service. Went for the banquet with a group of 10 ppl. Would highly recommend

The staff was friendly and welcome. The restaurant wasn't overly busy for a Sunday evening, which was nice. Service was hit and miss depending which waiter. Ill manner by taking plates when not everyone was finished eating on the table. The decor was nice and the atmosphere was ok. The food was nice and a good portion, slightly overpriced but understandable as it's in the city centre.

Great food great prices. Great service all rounder 😁

Very good food and lovely service. Would recommend.

Food was really nice. Service was good. The staff were really polite and friendly. Would definitely recommend for couples night out or even family meal.

I've had a few poor experiences in Chinese restaurants but my visit to Little Yang Sing has restored my faith in the cuisine. I had C' Weed special to start which was seasoned fried cabbage (C'wed) with sesame prawn toast and coconut balls, all so tasty and amazing. My main dish I chose Kun Po Prawn which was again very tasty. The quality of the food was really very good, service was amazing as well which surprised me after recent experiences elsewhere. It may be expensive but it's worth every penny, can't wait to go back and try the Dim Sum.

If you want a good quality Chinese meal with no fuss and speedy service then this place is for you. Every dish we tried was delicious and the portions are generous. The menu choice is vast, something for everyone.

The food here is always amazing whether you eat in or get it delivered. It was my dad’s birthday and we sang to him. One of the waiters heard and brought over some ice cream with a sparkle in it and played happy birthday to him. This was very unexpected and lovely of the staff!!

Large selection of dim sum. Fresh seafood and good duck.

Lovely meal here great service.

atmosphere and decor nice inside restaurant toilets are soso food lemon and honey chicken was good but duck was dry overcooked and tasted like 2 days old cooked

I first came here 30 years ago and it's still a fantastic choice if you enjoy Cantonese style food. The vegetarian selection is enviable.

I thought that since the prices are high, the quality of the food will also be high, but this is not true. Chow main is a mistake, Salt&Peppers chips are the worst I've ever eaten, they don't use spices in this restaurant. I don't recommend it, I lost time, money and nerves... my dinner ended up in the bin.

Shoutout to Michael who offered and helped us debone the fish by table side!! They also offer steam fish dishes by fish fillets for those that don’t want to see the head and tail (we requested for the whole fish). Loved the beef stir fry noodles, wish it were the flat wide noodles but this hit the spot. All portions are on the larger side and delicious.

Fun meal out with colleagues. Food was excellent and it was a great decision to have one of their summer banquet menus which had several courses and loads of variety. We had duck, pork, chicken, lamb, fish and vegetable dishes and all were spot on. Didn’t try anything that I didn’t like and this was great experience for me as I tend to choose the same things when I eat Chinese. Restaurant was very busy when we arrived around 9pm so probably need to book. Service was very attentive and they were quick to bring more drinks and table water. We were last to leave and they were patient with us until around 11.30 when they advised that they were closing (Thursday night). If I am ever back in the area I’d eat here again!

absolutely gorgeous hot and melt in your mouth salt and pepper ribs

Amazing meal, honestly the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Staff were polite, service super quick even though it was a busy Saturday evening. And the place was so clean! Would come back to Manchester just to visit here again!!

never received my order which was over £30.

Went with work colleagues for a evening meal and it was amazing, my food was top notch. The pork fillet in spicy bean sauce was very good 👍

The food is incredible, quick and polite service. Will definitely return

The barbecued pork tasted very good and went very well with rice. I also ordered a tofu vegetarian dish, I forgot what it was called, but it was a waste of time. But the attitude of the older female waitress with short hair in the store was very average. It was the first time I went there and I didn’t know what to choose, so I asked if she had any recommendations. Her attitude was very perfunctory and she felt a little bit unwilling to take care of it. She said no, and then I went to serve others, and my friend and I were shocked where we were.

Very good food which is a surprise as there are few Chinese dining here probably due to the fact that it is more expensive than many other restaurants in Manchester's Chinatown. Better to book but even then you can sit in the foyer and wait for a table whilst being ignored

Great place very efficient great food

Nothing more to say other than one of the best Chinese restaurants in Manchester, possibly the UK.

The duck was dry... sometimes its better. Juicy and the color is lighter. I liked the other stuff, but only ate a little of the duck.

No sauce with 2 servings of dumplings..

Now that's what I call food! Would highly recommend the Lemon and Honey Chicken as well as Beef with Black Bean Sauce. Two fantastic dishes that made us decide to come back in the future. Can't wait to do so.

A bit more crab would be nice....

Enjoyed the food. Very nice. Efficient and friendly service. Would return.

Cold, grumpy, patronizing. There’s really no other way to describe the service we received from a lady we presume was the owner or manager. Most of our party wanted to leave but we stayed due to time constraints. The Har Kau and Siu Mai from the Dim Sum were a welcome upside. But the Duck with Garlic and Spicy sauce was overly sweet and not at all spicy. The restaurant itself is a pretty cool space. We opted out on the 10% discretionary tip.

Never had the pleasure of dining in. Always use collection or deliveroo. The food is always amazing! Have recommended to anyone who seems to be listening, even if they didn't ask.

Nice place, good food and friendly service. Good size portions - noone was hungry when we left!

Avoid if you want authentic Chinese food. The food are customized to fit the western people diet just like Panda Express but worse. Ordered 麻婆豆腐and it’s sweet and sour. Imagine how disgusting is that.

I recommend the chilli chicken kunpo style, soo good 👌🏻also the staff was very nice, will return thank you!

Worst food I have ever had the displeasure of tasting!!

Worst tasting food I have ever had the displeasure of tasting!! Not even the worst Asian food but all flavours from around the world this is by far the shitest by far!!!!

Fantastic place. Great food. Good service and very pleasant staff. Will go back again.

Really good food that hit the spot

Passing on vacation from France 🇫🇷. Open late. Very welcoming. Hearty meal, really very good. Meat chicken shrimp rice very good. Perfect service. I recommend. 🙏

It wasn’t even delivered I want a full refund

We have never been disappointed by the Little Yang Sing and today was no different!

Great place for great authentic food.

Quality Chinese restaurant in China Town with wonderful atmosphere and amazing Dim Sum.... highly recommended 😁😋👍

Not been here for a few years & what’s happened !?! Decor is nothing like it used to be & weird painting on the wall looks like random rolled black paint ! We were told on entry that they needed the table back in an hour & a half which we were fine with but oh my god, all the waiters were basically running around and we had our food thrown at us each course including the drinks !!! Quality of the chicken in my Cantonese chicken was poor, worse I’ve had anywhere in a long time. Would not come here again, there are far too many better Chinese restaurants in Manchester

Food was overpriced and not as ordered. Which is a shame as I’ve been here before and liked it

The menu suggest every other Chinese restaurant but in here you will get the very best examples of the staple dishes you find in a British Chinese take away. The only thing that fell below their high standards was a tough pork rub in the starters. Service was also excellent. Just be careful, after dinner here your normal take away will just be a disappointment.

Recently came to this restaurant for a family meal and loved every single moment of it! The food was delicious! The atmosphere was incredible! The staff were very helpful and friendly! We had the Blooming Blossom banquet and we enjoyed every single meal that was included in it! 100% worth the money and will definitely be back when I can! Thank you Little Yang Sing!

Disappointed by the quality of the roast duck. Its old and dry. The rest of the dishes were fine.

Has to be one of the best in the city. Excellent food and service. Good wine list and brandy served as it should be.Value for money.

The salt and pepper pork chops are to die for so are the salt and pepper ribs! One of my favourites ❤

Too many tables crammed into the space. Food was passable, nothing special, service was dreadful. Far from the experience we expected. Won't be back.

Honestly mane, it was mid at best. After perusing the lovely streets of Manchester, my mates and I were in the mood for a cheeky Chinese. Did some Reddit research and found this place to be the spot. Unfortunately the service was bad, the food was worse, and hints of loo traveled across my snout more often than it should have. I would not recommend based on food quality and price. Don’t get the Szechuan chicken, or the bean sauce dishes.

It fine. Nothing more. We visited here yesterday during a visit to Manchester. The high Google review score is what drove us to visiting. The restaurant itself looks nice and service is fine. Food is average and is expensive for what it is. Be careful of the service charge. We were charged a 10% discretionary service charge but had no option to not pay it.

I thought the food was ok but not worth the money

Amazing food as always, bit of a whiff of loo when you come in but ignore that, the food is just outstanding

Best Chinese in Manchester! Been going for years! Nothing even comes close

Ordered from here through Ubereats on Wednesday 28th February and it gave me the worst food poisoning of my life. Do not order from here unless you want to spend 2 days violently throwing up every hour

As a foodie with a fondness for China town in Manchester and a penchant for authentic Chinese cuisine, my experience at Little Yang Sing was a mix of highs and lows. Arriving as a solo diner on a business trip, I found myself sandwiched between two fellow solo diners. To my left, a disgruntled chap lamented about his hour-long wait without any food. However, the swift response of the manager, who promptly apologized and took action, impressed me. Opting for a selection of dim sum to start, followed by quarter crispy duck and spinach in sauce, my order arrived promptly, perhaps spurred on by the urgency created by the neighboring diner's complaint. The service, particularly from Lisa and Chris, was impeccable, with a dedicated water server ensuring my glass remained topped up throughout the meal. Reflecting on past visits, I reminisced about dining here during my university days in the late 90s when it was known as "Little Sister" or something akin. While the nostalgia was palpable, the similarity in prices to those in London left me slightly disappointed. Despite this, the overall experience at Little Yang Sing was positive, with its efficient service, delicious dishes, and a touch of nostalgia making it a place I would consider returning to, albeit with the caveat of managing expectations around pricing.

Had a birthday lunch here and the food was great. Im gluten intolerant and never thought I'd be able to eat Chinese food again, they have an extensive range that caters for my needs and it doesn't feel like a compromise. Been along time since I've enjoyed a really flavoursome meal. Our waitress was very funny

Food was quite tastless and head guy was very rude. Wouldnt go back! Paid nearly £30 for rice, so overpriced!!

Very good service but food could offer more value for money

Very nice but it was very expensive for what it worth. Not enough quality of food, the staff was friendly.

Food arrived piping hot and was good as ever. Delivery driver very friendly as well

Great Chinese restaurant in the middle of Chinatown. They have an extensive vegetarian menu with so much choice. Tofu and garlic in spicy sauce was amazing. Fantastic service too. Still thinking about the salt and pepper bean curd... 😄

Had the dim sum platter with a group and it was great. I’m usually unsure about what to eat when I go to Chinese, Cantonese or East Asian restaurants more generally but I felt that that was a good choice!

Went here with a work colleague and 2 customers on Monday 12th of Feb - despite it was a Monday night, it was still busy - which is always a good sign. Food was excellent, with all 4 of us agreeing that it was the best Chinese food we had in a long time. Defo worth a visit.

App told me to collect at 6.35 I went in but it wasn't ready. Restaurant was busy, so I waiting then asked again at 6.50.

As always lovely food from the Little Yang Sing

Visiting Manchester for three days and this restaurant was recommended to us before we arrived. It didn't disappoint, excellent food, attentive service. Wow what a find, can't see we'll find a better place to eat over the next two days. Please congratulate your staff on the service they provided.

The food was amazing quality, the service was incredible and a 10/10, definitely will recommend, best Chinese restaurant in Manchester honestly!

Had my 55th birthday meal in here,food spot on.

Great food steamed dim sum are amazing. Best Chinese in Manchester china town. Restaurant is wheelchair accessible need to use lift from street level. Plenty of blue badge parking available locally.

Absolutely delicious! Well worth it! Thanks

Típica comida china pero de mucha calidad. Comimos arroz con pollo, cerdo agridulce y un plato de distintas carnes y especias. Postres exquisitos

Such tasty food 👌🏼 would defs order here again!

Best vegetable chow mein I’ve ever had! Service was amazing too, we arrived super late and they stayed open for us and were really attentive. 10/10 recommend Portions were also big so I took home the leftovers Salt and pepper chips were a bit weird though, they were almost sugary, not bad just different.

Crispy noodles £8-55 ridiculous
