Yinjibar in Kingston upon Hull, City of

Excellent authentic Chinese food. I was with friends from Hong Kong and they were amazed with the taste and quality of the food. We returned for dinner again the next night!

Advertises that they make sushi but when you come to the restaurant it turns put they dont make sushi,be careful dont waste time

Hemos estado en Yinjibar varias veces ya que nos gusta el sabor y la autenticidad de la comida. Sin embargo, fuimos con un grupo de amigos el sábado 28 de septiembre y queríamos crear conciencia sobre un tema muy grave. Pedimos albóndigas de cerdo picadas como pedido adicional y estaba a punto de comerlas cuando noté que había pequeños trozos de langostino dentro de ellas. Soy alérgica a los mariscos, así que podría haber estado extremadamente enferma o peor si me los hubiera comido. Señalé la situación al camarero y se disculpó, pero nada más. Tampoco me ofrecieron un reembolso. Estoy escribiendo esta reseña ya que me preocupa que alguien más pueda estar en la misma situación y no notar las gambas. La alergia a los mariscos es extremadamente grave y los ingredientes deben aparecer claramente en el menú.

Excellent meal and very delicious credit to the chef.

A really neat little location thats slightly off the beaten path in Hull with some very nice dishes, a small but well made dim-sum menu and food thats both served quite quickly but with generous portion sizes. If I have any downsides, the menu itself, while expansive, is a bit on the messy and confusing side. Theres also one or two items that dont eat quite as well as the others (such as the bamboo wraps having a very gelatinous sauce). The rest ordered though such as the Char Sui pork buns, the Honey lemon chicken and the Udon noodle soup bowls are very much worth the money spent on them.

Good size options, really tasty food and crazy quick service. The soft shell crab 🦀 and ginger and spring onion king prawns were a highlight

Had a great meal. Got to try chicken feet, which were amazing. Overall great experience. Only minor thing was needing to request chopsticks but it's understandable so that peoe don't have to embarrass themselves asking for a fork.

Amazing food!! Great service, we will be back again for sure!! Thank you!

Well done on traditional Chinese food. So innovative to add truffle in traditional fried rice, bring up new experience in fried rice with seafood and barbeque pork you couldn't resist.

Delicious, authentic Chinese food. Came out piping hot and were good portion sizes. Attentive staff. Able to pay by card. Would recommend.

Not fancy but great food love this place

Fantastic food, although vegetarian food very limited. What we had was delicious. The service was excellent!! One negative, is that because it's small, it only takes one diner in the room to be a loud, projecting talker to make it almost impossible to hear other people on your table.

This is a pretty tatty place on a Hull back street. Food was good and portion sizes decent but boy was it expensive. Our total was £66 for two including one alcohol drink each. Main dishes were around £13 each. You’d not be paying much more and in many cases less in the South East. There is a bloke who recently reviewed this place on here who tells us in a patronising manner that negative reviewers are overly picky and that we somehow “don’t understand”. This is of course rubbish. He’s wrong. Overall not great.

This has to be the best value Chinese in the area. Portions very good and price spot on. Food all fresh, hot and tasty 😋

I have read through the reviews and conclude that most of the negative reviews are from people who have never eaten a Chinese meal outside of the UK. The dishes coming from Chinese takeouts in England are adaptation to suit a western palate. When thinking of dishes that get adapted, try fish and chips or a sunday roast in Spain or Thailand. Not the same as our fine Chippies produce. This restaurant serves food typical of non-tourist eateries in Hong Kong. And it does so very well. If you prefer the British Chinese meals, go to another place. The decor is aging, but I don't go to eat to study the walls of where I'm eating. My only gripe with the place is that like so many Chinese establishments worldwide, they only take cash.

Good sized portions. Quality fresh ingredients and great tasting 👌🏼 I will certainly be back when staying in Hull. 19th Feb 2024

One of the best authentic Chinese restaurants I have been to.

Authentic vibe really good food

First of all the staff are very friendly and welcoming , a family feel to the place , the food is lovley , served hot and fresh , I would recommend just about everything , reasonably priced ,always leave with a full stomach

Always good authentic food here. Very reasonable too. Not posh inside but the food makes up for it.

This is by far the best Chinese restaurant in Hull. As of 2024 they take card payments too. You might find it on the other side of the road as at the time of writing Google maps have the restaurant on the wrong side of the road. Yes still wrong location on Google Maps I will try again only 1 in 6 corrections I make are put up. Lot of work for little progress. This has limited pescatarian and vegetarian options but a discussion with the staff will increase the options. The menus has been scaled back since Covid but is still excellent. Visit and enjoy the atmosphere

Cute place if you are craving some nice traditional chinese food. We were visiting the area and found this nice place on Google Maps. I am vegan so I asked for a nice tofu with vegetables dish. It was really tasty. ✨✨ The only con was the final bill, prices are higher then expected. Thank you✌️

Good sized portions. Quality fresh ingredients and great tasting 👌🏼 I will certainly be back when staying in Hull. 19th Feb 2024

One of the best chinese takeaways in hull

Me and another family member got really bad food poisoning

Went tonight 2/2/24 6 of us each having different meals, 1st class service ,no complaints whatsoever, definitely will be returning

Four of us booked a table for a Saturday evening. As others have said, the decor leaves something to be desired, not a massive issue as the food was lovely. Two big problems would stop us returning: we were the only people in there and it was £50/couple which wasn’t good value for money given the decor and the lack of atmosphere,

Booked a table after going to hull new theatre. Very quick service. Starter was really good then it went downhill from there. Rice was tasteless, noodles were tasteless and cold and sweet and sour was tasteless chicken in an awful thick heavy batter. Had a lot of Chinese meals and this was one of the worst. Won’t be returning. Terrible .

Friendly staff, amazing food. Very quaint and authentic. Hidden gem

The best Chinese in Hull. Never a bad meal

We had a really delicious meal here yesterday. We were in Hull as we were watching a show and needed to eat early. I’d read the reviews and decided to give it a chance… I’m really glad I did. As others reviews say - don’t be put off my the dated tired and drab cafe interior! The service was great for us, we ordered, they brought the drinks then the food, we ate, they checked everything was ok, they brought the bill! The food was delicious! And the portions huge! They now take card payments (as of last week apparently) Well definitely go again.

Excellent authentic Chinese food.

Their website did not state cash only. My husband walked for 30 minutes trying unsuccessfully trying to find one. Totally unsympathetic to our plight. Had to pay back.

Excellent meal. Well-marinaded meat in a nice thick sauce with chilli and plenty of veg. Was just what I wanted and it didn't disappoint.

Made a reservation for this evening, read reviews, sounded great,ordered starters which were nice, tried meat dumplings, didn't think much, batter extremely soggy, ordered beef an fried noodles, wasn't impressed with the beef, strange consistency, wouldn't go again, plus only accepted cash, and bill was in Chinese, had no idea what been charged for, it was expensive!!!

Great place to go , just 2 minutes from Hull New Theatre. Very good food, fairly priced and the staff are first class.

Once upon a time this used to be a good restaurant not anymore

The food is good, always hot and fresh. Served with a smile but unfortunately the cash only policy is ridiculous and outdated. They lose so much custom for being cash only. The other problem is you never know if it will be open or not, they NEVER stick to the advertised times. Very disappointed.

very good chinese food with fairly price.

Just discovered this little hidden treasure tucked away down Charles Street. Beautiful restaurant, high quality delicious food , good value and super, friendly professional service. The young man behind the bar can't do enough for you and you're always assured of a pleasant welcome. Highly recommended if you're visiting the Hull New theatre or bars in the area. We will definitely call again, Highly recommended! Terry and family .

老板非常善良热情，非常建议在这里品尝中式海鲜，由于新鲜的食材，简单的烹饪方式就能获得最好的美味。在英国吃过最好的清蒸鱼。

I really don’t understand all the positive reviews. The food is average at best and the service is really poor. Bland food and very overpriced. Considering the other great options nearby, I would avoid.

A hidden little treasure in the heart of Hull. If you want good food - you must eat here. Decor not great but the food is amazing

Booked in advance. Service very polite and quick. Ordered Dimsum and prawn toast to start. Both delicious though guessing the Dimsum is bought in frozen, especially the char sui buns. King prawn fried noodles and chili beef for main course. I think the fact that they were so big meant we enjoyed them less. Both courses were very big and would easily have fed two. In my case the chili beef came in a lake of sauce and oil which some may like but I didn’t. I suspect this is a style of chinese good we’re not used to in the UK. It reminded me of what you get in HK. Nicely cooked but too much of it. Service was excellent and very friendly and they were clearly busy, including with Chinese families.

Came in with my mum for her birthday we had 2 dim sum which was nice but the main meals were inedible. Apparently beef satay is meant to be half a bag of sugar in the recipe in each of the meals. Never coming back here ever out of principle. Waste of money proper Micky takers.

Food was great, sizeable portions & tasty. However the place looks tired and could do with a revamp. They also accept cash and card.

A last minute tip in a local bar and an outstanding recommendation

Extremely good chinese food, big portions, freshly prepared.

Very good food , at a reasonable price. Not many customers were in when we visited

Myself and three friends were struggling to find some where for dinner. We went in without great expectation. What a pleasant surprise. This obviously family run restaurant gave us the best Chinese food we have tasted. Everything was so good. The lamb stew, beef with black bean...everything. Great value as well. I will go out of my way to return.

Lovely old school style Chinese with fantastic staff and amazing food, only draw back is its cash only!

Went out on a date night with my boyfriend and it was amazing. The service was amazing, staff were really friendly. Definitely suggest this place if you're looking for somewhere quiet. It was my first time trying the shrimp and pork dumplings but for first time try, I'll be coming back for sure!

Food was bad tonight not as good as it usually is... Maybe food from the day before

Beautiful Chinese food, definitely the best in town. Service is mediocre but the quality of the food makes up for it.

Definitely some positives. Single staff member was lovely, good , atmospheric premises. Quick. Great noodles which appeared freshly cooked and tasty custard buns. Looking at the menu I was excited to order the roast duck. My expectation was traditional on the bone, tasty warm duck with crispy skin. I didn't mind it was off the bone but it was luke warm and soggy. I'm not used to the sauce over it but looking at the way it was around the edges I suspect it was microwaved. The dumplings, although freshly cooked, didn't feel traditional either. My final bit is - cash only? In a city, in 2023?

Was told about this place and what lovely food cooked here, we did book a table over the phone a week before, but we wasn't told it was cash only!! What place these days are cash only, i wasn't told this on the phone, but was told where the nearest cash machine was, luckily i did have enough money on us. Now the food was lovely and served quickly with lots of choice on the menu. Our opinion on the place was it's not really a restaurant, more of a takeaway where you can eat in, tables and chairs very basic with no atmosphere, this is somewhere i won't be making another visit to.

Excellent Authentic food at great prices.

A great place for Chinese food and I highly recommend it.

I love this fabulous restaurant! The food is delicious and beautifully presented. The staff are very attentive and are very customer focused. Highly recommend.

Amazing food. Simple and delicious. Please visit!

Was so good, had to go back for more

Small restaurant excellent food service was very good to. Ideal for a or theatre meal as it’s just around the corner definitely returning.

Superb food with great service. Cash only!

Meal before the theatre. Good food and fast service (they are used to theatre folk here). Good varied menu

The food is amazing!! I would definitely recommend Yinjibar to anyone. Really good priced. The staff are extremely friendly and very professional. All the food is freshly cooked and tastes amazing. Worth giving it a try.

The food is delicious and the staff are so friendly

Always go there and it is amazing 100% recommend.

Ordered many times during lockdown, service above and beyond, great menu ..... so good food. Planning to eat in once lockdown finished

Terrible food. We got duck dumplings and squid for starters and they were greasy and tasted bad - don’t recomend. Beef hotpot as a main which was the only good thing. Salt and pepper beef which was not worth it. The chips were bad as a side. Boiled rice and fried noodle sides were fine. Inside is terrible. Seating, tables etc. not great at all. On top of that it was very cold. A few of us had to keep out coats on. I could have forgiven everything if the food wasn’t so bad. And the prices arnt cheap either. Really not worth eating here. I must say the service was absolutely lovely. I like that the servers still wear their masks. And they are very polite. I personally think there was an issue with the bill on their end but the party felt it would be rude to ask. So I do wish they would do a proper bill.

A real hidden treasure within Hull!!! Excellent, authentic food which tastes superb!

Very interesting menu . It was delicious what I ordered a Peanut Dish(chicken).

One of my Favorite restaurant in town. Good food 😋. This time chicken corn soup with generous chucks of chicken. Singapore style vermicelli and some steamed pork dumplings.

Very good atmosphere, wonderful food

Best Chinese food in all of Hull! Highly recommend!

Friendly, efficient, good food and service. Takeaway prices for dining in . Could do with some background music to hide private conversation. Will return. Booking advisable as only small. Cash only currently

Proper foods best in Yorkshire!

Superb food, great portions, excellent service

Upon arrival, several drunken staff members were shouting loudly in sn adjacent part of the "restaurant ". The duck curry which I ate left me with 2 day cramps and diarrhoea. The waitress clearly did not want to be there, and the guy on the desk spent his time counting cash. Terrible atmosphere in the place. I've been to some dives but this took the biscuit. Visiting the city for a weekend break for my anniversary. Ruined our Saturday night. Avoid like the plague!

Lovely little restaurant, came highly recommended by locals. Great service and very authentic food. Although the portions are enormous!

Delicious fresh tasting yummy Chinese food. We ate here a few months ago and had a banquet, tasty and good value. This afternoon, we returned to try the rest of the menu. Squid cakes, steamed ribs and pork dumplings from the dimsum menu- all delicious and fresh. For mains, seafood with veggies, and salt and pepper beef, both really tasty, good sized portions. Really enjoyable food, friendly efficient staff. Highly recommended

Superb food every time and fantastic service

Absolutely amazing food, certainly one of hulls hidden gems!

I have always loved Yinjibar and it is a restaurant/take away we return to time and time again, but sadly our last visit may be our last ever. We popped in for lunch and as we order the same thing every time we visit we...

Used to visit here regularly for the food more than the atmosphere staff have always been efficient but not over friendly we visited on Saturday night after booking a table found the menu greatly reduced and a lot more expensive £8for prawn toast starter is a bit much food was ok but not a patch on what it used to be

Menu altered a lot not the variety they used to be and staff not as friendly as before

Do not expect a restaurant environment but do expect some fantastic food lovingly prepared at great prices

Special black bean sauce was amazing

Excellent food and always a great service.

Amazing restaurant, fish is sublime and rest of the menu is also brilliant. Well worth a visit!

Family run restaurant, excellent food.

Service was excellent and the food was delicious. Would definitely return.

Very nice food. I have king prawn sate and it tasted lovely with plenty of prawns. The food was great value. However the beer was a little expensive in my opinion. Please note they are a Cash only business which is unusual nowadays.

Exellent service and the food was delicious and plenty of it

Always good food and lively atmosphere with friendly staff.

Went here on Thursday 27 January. 6 of us for birthday 🎂 . We got a banquet starter followed by our mains prawn curry was spot on as was prawn and ginger spring onions .everyone enjoyed there meal we had drinks 🍸 and found it very reasonable definitely be going again

Google shows that they open from 12pm.Came here , drived 1h and only to stand near the shop like and idiot to be informed that they open only from 15:00 🙂

Nice traditional Chinese restaurant

Always a good choice as eat in or take away. Vast menu of tasty fresh traditional Chinese cuisine. Not the most stylish place but the food and service make up for the decor. Beware it's cash only! But worth every penny.

Great little Chinese no frills restaurant for quality food cooked to perfection that would be hard to beat in this town

Amazing service, great food. Not your usual Chinese takeaway food. This is much more authentic and so tasty. Love eating here.
