Oriental City in Leeds

first time visit,we had.dim sum and couple dishes. they were ok.

Starter dimsun tasted old and rubbery. Main course sweet and sour chicken no better. Waitress stuck a a fork through it in her opinion decided it was ok.Sent it back but was given the full bill They couldn't give a toss Will not be going back. Will not be returning .In my opinion zero

The receptionist / The manager got the Bad Attitude to serve . She is very Rude to the guest . Food is bad . Not allow to book a table while I saw there is a booking list in the restaurant. Her voice is loud and unwilling to ask my answer when I talk to her. It’s very unpleasant to have this kind of dinning experience. Dirty Toilet . Not recommended to others !! Worst Restaurant Ever !!

As someone of Chinese heritage, I would not recommend this place. Been here for an hour and people before who arrived have got their food.

Reasonable prices and delicious food

Cola is the best waitress in Yorkshire!

We went to have dinner a few days ago and the service was extremely awful! One of the male staff was extremely condescending and rude to us. Really soured the mood and we did not have a good time.

The satay beef pot was disappointing. Fish with whole garlics was okay. The beef offal pot was pretty standard.

Leeds is a long-established Cantonese restaurant.

Fantastic food with good topping and delicious best ever. Thanks to the chef and thanks to the owner of the restaurant and We are impressed 👍

Had a lovely meal today good atmosphere and service not been for a few months but won't leave it so long before we go again

Pretty good food was nice huge place

Best dinsum and Canton Chinese in town!

The supermarket under the restaurant is fantastic for oriental food. They have almost everything you could need. Very friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant is one of the best Chinese restaurants I have visited. Authentic Chinese food. I would highly recommend a visit here.

Had lunch 17th Jan Friday 2025…. Ordered 8 types dim sum n seafood wet noodles to share. Good portions but today the Chef over salted all the dishes. We did not enjoy n gave feedback. Owner …please check that your chef is not unhappy??

The best dim sum in town and great service

***龙年 Year of Dragon 2024/2025 Dim Sum Rat European AWARD for Best Yum Cha Atmosphere*** 点心 鼠 Dim sum Rat thoughts: Oriental City is a traditional dark wood interior restaurant. Full dim sum menu, with some Sichuan and even some Macau dishes. It’s attached to a large Asian food market. Very 1930’s Hong Kong style. The entry is at the back through the car park of the food supermarket and parking can be complex so make sure you check the parking rules! They have brisk service (authentically Cantonese) do you will need to be firm when ordering, particularly on Sundays. They have a wonderful busy, bustling atmosphere especially on weekends. Standouts: Solid har gow and wonderful, fragrant prawn chive dumplings. Cuttlefish dumpling is the delicious stand- out along with the choy with ginger. Excellent refreshing fresh jasmine tea! Not Strongest: Fried squid is not so crispy, a little greasy Service: Excellent, but weekends especially can be very busy and you may need to check on dishes

Food is authentic and prepared well and fast. Great menu and variety of dishes, for all tastes. Situated on 1st floor above bakery, next to large oriental supermarket. Parking terrible, there simply isn't enough, even with small overflow car park. Supermarket attached all authentic imported foods, great selection and variety. Staff are friendly and helpful and very efficient. Expect to wait at busy times for restaurant if you haven't pre booked. Not the most glamorous of venues and it's showing its age somewhat.....however it's the food that matters, and you will not be disappointed, it's fresh, quick and great size portions. Reasonably priced. Well worth a visit. Enjoy!

Great place for dim sum, love the decor inside and good dishes too. Fast service and the place is huuuge

Many selections of food on menu. Foods are ok.

The best Dim Sum in Leeds, excellent quality and service!

The best chinese food on Leeds! The price is affordable and the restaurant is a cozy place.

The female assistant manager has a very bad attitude. She has no service at all. She is extremely rude and will not help her in the future.

ordered takeaway from here, but the food looked nothing like the picture in the app. It felt like I received an entirely different dish！

It's been a long time since I went for Yum Cha with friends since i don't live near any chinese restaurants. The main car park isn't very big but we found parking easily on side streets. We didn't have to wait more than 2 minutes for a table even at Sunday lunchtime which was nice. We were served quickly and the food arrived quickly and tasted great. Prices were very reasonable too. My only minor gripe was that it took a long time to get the bill. But it was a minor thing from which otherwise was a nice trip. I'll definitely be back.

Food was bad, I have stomach problems after my dinner there, waitress rude, dirty toilets and expensive for the experience

The steamed pork buns were pretty good but the other food was very bland, though it was fresh and in big portions. The service was good and the surroundings were quite nice. Perhaps they do some tastier dishes but I won't be rushing back to try them, based on what we had.

Incredible dim sum at amazing prices. Honestly, £5 per dim sum with free parking in Leeds city centre is incredible , especially given the quality of the food. We treated ourselves to a 2-meat dish of pork and duck and bloody hell, it was amazing (we are both from Hong Kong and it was like stepping back home). Even though it's a 40 minute drive from home to here, we will be back. Heck, the supermarket on the ground floor is an added bonus too.

Decent food. Can't complain. Been a few times over the years.

Love coming here for dim sum, especially the cheung fun and fried prawn dumplings. Service could be better but that's just usual for an authentic Chinese restaurant :)

Food was absolutely delicious 😋 1st time coming to the restaurant will definitely come again.

This is a traditional Chinese restaurant that serves not only side dishes but also dim sum.

Hot takeout here, roasted meats were soooooo good, rice is perfect big portions. If you want authentic Cantonese food this is it, coming from a local ;) brings me back home ( HKer approved 💛)

Absolutely amazing place, beautiful authentic Chinese surroundings, amazing food and great service. I will be coming again

I just had lunch here today, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. We ordered dim sum including the rice porridge, but it tasted like it had gone bad. When we brought this up to the waiter, he initially insisted that it was freshly made today. However, after we asked him to try it, he agreed to cancel it. Aside from the porridge issue, the rest of the food was decent. What really ruined the experience, though, was an unpleasant encounter with a waitress (or manager, whatever position she is in). When we checked out, we realized we had been charged twice for dessert. I went back to ask for a refund, but the waitress, with a very tough and unfriendly attitude, suggested I take a dessert to-go instead, which I didn't want. After I declined, she became extremely rude and gave me the money back without returning my receipt. She acted as if I was causing trouble, when in fact, they had just served me spoiled food earlier without any apology. It’s frustrating and unacceptable to be treated like this, especially when the restaurant made the initial mistakes. To top it off, I now have concerns about getting food poisoning from the bad porridge.

Great decor and ambience, very very good dim sum! Highly recommend!

Lovely Chinese Restaurant very near to Leeds City centre. Tasty meals and great ambience.

Been here a few times for dim sum. Great menu, quick service, old school dark wood decor and delicious food! A little bit out of the way from the city centre but worth a trip.

I lived in China many years... I was really hoping to eat real chinese food. Very good service. The food is good but far from being authentic.

The unpleasant experience, terrible service attitude. Is mistake worth launching?!

They do not serve halal food or have any halal options, this has been confirmed. Even though google say that there are halal options

The best Chinese restaurant in leeds , the Food is delicious, and the staff are welcoming , there are Halal options like seafood and chicken . I will upload what we ordered , which was all great and recommended from our side Special thanks to our waiter Ms Fong and all staff

Worst experiance ever! Avoid at all costs!!!!!, staff are very rude and don't have basic customer service skills, i was told the food will take around 15-20 mins to prepare after 30 mins I asked how long will it take and I was advised that the chef is not working in a very abrupt / rude way like they was angry at me for asking, finally after 1 hour the food came.. It was below average, this food is not authentic or fresh, it tasted like it was frozen and microwaved, after waiting soo long and paying alot I had high expectations but was left dissapointed. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS JOKE OF A RESTAURANT!

Food was lovely well cooked loads of options just the waitress was rude rushing my colleague luckily the boss sorted it out

The bald headed with glasses was abit rude! Didn't even acknowledge us when we came into the restaurant and walking out! The food was good, lots of variety of selections! The price is reasonable, cheaper than most Yorkshire's dim sum! If I live in Leeds it would be my go too place! Next door is the bakeries and next one after that is the Supermarket! 3 in 1 not bad!

Very hit and miss. Had the most amazing meal in the restaurant but when I ordered takeaway it was terrible.

Authentic chinese food, top notch and fancy deco. Great to dine at.

Great variety of Cantonese and Szechuan Chinese food

Nicely designed restaurant with a good car park. A good menu serving the usual restaurant/takeaway away favourites. If you want to try the ultra authentic Chinese dishes then you should ask the staff for the Chinese menu. Such cool things as Casserole, beef brisket, tripe, frogs legs, crispy pork belly and many more. But I wish they had green ginger scallion sauce available as condiment. Fair prices. Good portion. Take away containers easily available. Dim Sum available at lunch/day time, not at night. Staff are friendly and efficient. 5 star.

Only ordered for delivery once from them so can’t say for sure this painful experience is reflective of their usual quality. But I guess I’ll never find out. I was weirdly angry when I saw the food I ordered. Utterly outrageous, on every front, from taste, quality of ingredients, to presentation. Deep fried wanton is not wanton at all. Just deep fried folded flat dough with some stale unrecognisable flat stuffing. Sautéed scallop is not sautéed at all, just some over flavoured frozen scallop oddly soaked in salty pak Choi soup. It should be a crime to sell anyone this kind of ‘food’

Favourite Chinese restaurant in Leeds

I've been going here for years, and the food is always great. Love their dim sum menu with loads of choice and love their char siu chow mein and the lamb black pepper dish 😍

We went for Dim Sum which was all very tasty. Particularly loved the wonton and the bao buns which were delicious. Very good service. All very clean and friendly. Would definitely love to go again and highly recommend it. Was so happy to get a second visit here when I was in Leeds. The food is still just as tasty and prices very reasonable.

Love the food here, always my go to!

Fantastic experience. Food is top tier. A good mixture of traditional and western Chinese dishes available and all taste fantastic. Service is friendly, attentive and make you feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door. The best Chinese restaurant in Leeds.

Great place, order al a carte and was reasonably surprised, would go again and order a sharing dish.

Dim sum is delicious with buried duck tongue

Authentic Chinese......rare these days

High quality canton style dim sum. But difficult to find a parking spot

Improved so much!! Food and service is great. They’re parking downstairs and you can grab some Chinese groceries whilst there.

Food was very greasy, also got a parking fine few weeks later daylight robbery

Given a warm welcome, seated quickly and the waiter took time to talk us through the dim sum menu and make recommendations. The food arrived quickly was fresh and tasted great. The dim sum was a good option.

First time in 14 years since I've been to this restaurant. Food was amazing, portions a good size and very reasonably priced. the place is very clean and staff friendly and knew their job well. Best Chinese restaurant in Leeds.

They can't even bring three meals at the same time had to wait 25 minutes.in between my meal and my wife and Daughters then the waitress saying they was on there way But my Wife and Daughter had walked out by this time If you are Chinese you will get served FIRST

Delicious and authentic dishes including a wide range of dim sum.. Friendly, efficent and prompt service... Worth the 10 - 15 min walk away from the town centre.. Attached to a cash and carry so you can pick up ingredients on the way out!

The food was pretty good, the people I was with said it's normally better but it was still nice food. The service was pretty bad we kept having to ask for things multiple times as they seemed to have forgotten. Dim sum isn't always available.

Food is not too bad. Got a parking ticket with my meal though. I was parked at their car park, but there is a 1 hour stay limit. It is unreasonable to expect our family to finish our meal out in an hour.

Traditional menu and food. Really good quality

If you want English Chinese this restaurant is well above average, tasty and great. However, if you want a taste of real Chinese ask for the traditional or dim sum menu (dim sum for lunch especially Sundays) and enjoy

Great Chinese restaurant, one of the best of its class

Visited today for Sunday dimsum also had crispy roast belly pork, duck Cantonese crispy noodles and veg as main and it was all delicious. Dim sum was fantastic best I have ever eaten. Service was fast, efficient and very friendly. The atmosphere was brilliant lots of families, couples and people on their own enjoying lovely food. Was my first visit here but will be visiting every time we are in Leeds.

Authentic, tasty Don't read this - just go

Very good food, service a touch slow.

A really nice local restaurant close to town and with its own parking area too! Great for banquet dinners and dim sum lunches. Highly recommend, the cash & carry downstairs is also great for grabbing much needed Asian supplies.

The Worst Chinese Restaurant in Leeds Extremely dissatisfied with the hygiene standards; found a maggot in my food which is utterly disgusting and unacceptable. Immediate attention to cleanliness is required!

hygiene issue disgusting food and service

Every dish was too salty for me, especially the peking duck that was soaked in soy sauce ☹️ which was a shame because the way it’s made was perfect for my taste.

Absolutely shocking food, an overall poor experience and will not be eating again.

Tasty Cantonese dimsum and dinner, reasonable price, great environment. A real authentic Cantonese Chinese restaurant 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻!

A very rude waitress who only likes to serve English speaking customers

The food is good, there's 10% service charge

The atmosphere was really beautiful and calm and I was pleasant surprise to know that they perform weddings at the venue which was really beautiful and the staff were super friendly and accommodating.

Been going here for years, quality is mostly excellent. Some dishes a bit hit and miss - depends on what chef they have on the night. A bit pricy for some things but overall decent value.

This has to be the best dine in Chinese restaurants I've ever been to. The restaurant itself is stunning, the layout and decor is 2nd to none. The staff were all very friendly and polite and the food was out of this world. Loved every bit of it, so tasty and plenty of it. I work these ways a lot so I can safely say.... I'll definitely be back 💯

Gorgeous gorgeous place, look, feel and atmosphere, and the staff. Went for first time as birthday treat, really difficult to find authentic Chinese restaurants. Will be back many many times. 谢谢

The food is good... Parking is a hit and miss.

Food is always fresh tasty and quite frankly brilliant whether take-out on sitting in, if I had four thumb's it would get four thumbs-up 👍🏾 Just had a special family meal and they made teddy bear 🐻 ice cubes for the kids, even I was jealous!!

Food was great but some staff were very rude.

Delicious and good service, will definitely go again.

Beautiful restaurant, lovely staff amazing food

Enjoyed to have Chinese food there as usual. Amazing food and excellent service, free parking is a bonus.

WOW first time today 26 Jun 2023 I have special fried rise with curry sauce and it was amazing the meat was spot on and the rice was very fluffy it was all just rice for me thank you all so much 😊

Amazing Food Fantastic Service & Staff are friendly & helpful. Highly Recommend this restaurant.

Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. Staff are so open, friendly & helpful and the food is EXCEPTIONAL. I thought I'd had good Chinese food before, I was so wrong. The flavours are such a huge step above even a great takeaway it's amazing. Coming back as soon as we can. Thank you for such a great meal.

Great dim sum experience. On Sunday lunch, it was very busy. Personally I really enjoyed pork pastry!! The spacious restaurant. However, the parking space is limited.

男员工很礼貌，友善。但是其他几位女员工的服务态度很差劲。不知道是不是我们用普通话交流的缘故，对我们爱答不理的。明明还在吃，轮番过来问我们吃完没有，可是比我们来的早的一桌并不去问。等结账的时候，我只是因为不知道所以问优惠政策，就回呛我说这已经给你们因为现金支付打过折了。真的很失望，再也不想去这个地方了。

Great place. Food exceptional. Normally great service, think they had new inexperienced staff this last visit.

Amazing food, dim sum is reasonably priced and delicious. Good portion sizes too.
