Yuet Ben in Liverpool

Very good Malaysian food !! The waitress helped us a lot and was super nice

Soup cold,rice cold was taken away and micro waved. Food bland. Atmosphere like a cafe not a restaurant won't be back

Think under new management..firstly no atmosphere. Feels like cafe not a restaurant. Soup arrived cold . Onto mains rice cold which was taken away and micro waved. Food is very bland nothing special. Sorry won't be coming back or recommend

Booked a meal on Friday 13th of September. It appears that the restaurant has closed down. NO CONTACT HAS BEEN MADE. Very poor. Only by accident I found out the restaurant is now closed.

Baked ribs best thing on the menu Really good chicken sweetcorn soup 😃

Traditional 'British' Chinese restaurant

Wonderful food and service 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Yuet Ben was ok but nothing special. Soup was nice followed by small portion of ribs (definitely overpriced for the quantity). Main course was ok, nothing wrong with it but nothing special either. Restaurant had no atmosphere at all. Would not return.

Very small portions and not very tasty, very overpriced and overrated , beer was overpriced and no atmosphere , very expensive for simple food

I had been highly recommended to this restaurant for my 20th Anniversary. Upon arrival we were greeted by most friendly staff who cannot be faulted in this report Upon being seated I ordered a bottle of rather expensive Rose which was promptly delivered at the correct temperature. We ordered the Set meal D at £29.95 per head, which we found suitable for our private celebration. The meal for 2 consisted of Crispy Duck, Salted Dry Ribs, Spring Rolls and 2 main courses. The quarter duck between us was delivered and was so overcooked no duck was available to eat We were very hungry and ate this "Crispy Duck" which was really inedible. I informed the manager who apologised saying the chef had actually left this in the oven for too long. She said she would put a couple of ribs on extra. 9 overcooked ribs arrived, which we ate half of them before bringing these to the waitresses attention. I was told I should have complained earlier. My arguement was they should never have left the kitchen in this state. No Comment. Then came the Spring Rolls which were frozen in the middle. By this time we disappointedly asked for the bill saying we didn't want the main course. We were charged for the wine, quarter of a burnt duck and burnt ribs £49.00. We paid and left the restaurant with no apology.. this is the first negative review that I have ever given, but this was a dining nightmare for us both. Ps. The waiting staff were very embarrassed. .

Horrible cooking. Burnt duck, dry af. Fried rice tasted like stale cooking oil and drenched in soy sauce. Just horrible.

My first visit here and my wife's first time in many years, as she often came here when she was younger. We had prawn toast and ribs for starters, and beef with carrot and crispy lamb for mains, washed down with a nice bottle of white wine. The lady who served us was very good and was very friendly, the food was excellent, with good sized portions and very reasonable pricing. Towards the end of our meal the owner Terry, who also cooks the food came over and introduced himself, he was very friendly and showed a true interest that we had enjoyed our visit to his restaurant. We can honestly say our visit was very enjoyable, and will definitely be back for seconds. Highly recommended.

It's an ordinary Chinese restaurant but it's very well located, the quality of their food is perfect, there's plenty to choose from on their menu. I give a rating of 5 out of 5, I recommend this establishment.

The Yuet Ben is a Liverpool institution for good reason. Not only does it serve the best Chinese food in the city, it is also the friendliest. An absolute delight and highly recommended.

The oldest Chinese restaurant in Liverpool was a pleasant experience. The food was good and the service was excellent. The price was more than I expected and for that reason I will not be returning. On the other hand, I would recommend at least one visit to anyone else.

The staff were on the ball, we had a couple of vegetarians and they brought out a seperate menu for them. They were very accommodating. Can recommend the dry ribs as a starter and the chili beef & carrot as a main course. All the food was tasty and piping hot.

Amazing place to working, eating and spend fantastic time ❤️❤️Terry and Teresha they are so much lovely kind beautiful people❤️ I'm so much proud that I'm working there I'm so glad thank for Everything high recommendation for this UNIC PLACE CLIMAT AND PEOPLE. TAKE care Natalia ❤️

Fifty years since our last visit!! Still the gold standard in Chinese food, after all these years. We were once their best customers when it first opened—-at least three times per week. Travelled far and wide since then. Still outstanding

After a Chinese New Year visit, we decided to eat in Chinatown late Saturday afternoon. Only 2 Restaurants open and, we picked the best! Although the portions aren't the biggest, they are the best. Its been years since we've had a decent Chinese meal. The Welcome was good and the service excellent 👏 It will be our 'Go To' from now on.

My husband & I have been here a few times we took our friends there last night & the meal & service was fabulous.We always get such a warm welcome from Theresa,Terry & their family & staff,they work so hard but nothing is a trouble to them.We’re looking forward to coming back soon

Delicious superior taste and quality with good service too. Will recommend and return.

First time visit after my brother and his wife have been visiting for decades and I can’t believe I hadn’t been here sooner, everyone agreed the food was delicious, the staff/owner was lovely. We will be making this our go to Chinese restaurant in Liverpool City Centre from now on.

The lamb and leek dish is a must! Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and very friendly hosts. Definitely recommend

We have eaten at The Yuet Ben for many, many years and have never even once been disappointed. We have also had many take aways ( collections) from there and they have been brilliant too. The food is second to none. We visited the restaurant last night with our young grandchildren who won’t eat any other ribs apart from ‘Terry’s ribs ‘ !!!….’ they have got very good taste, they are amazing !! As usual all of the food was superb, freshly cooked and swiftly served by great staff. We finished with the toffee apples which definitely deserve a mention ! We have been patrons of this restaurant for many years but somehow you never seem to think to give your favourites a review - I am rectifying this now and I would advise anyone to go and visit Terry and Theresa and enjoy some wonderful food which is always consistent. You are in for a treat !

This has been one of my favourite restaurants, anywhere in the world, for over 40 years!

Had a great night in Yuet Ben staff wonderful, attentive and great fun. The food absolutely tasty and excellent the best ever. The friends who were with me enjoyed it also. Thank you 😊

Lovely Chinese food and friendly staff made us feel very welcome

Best Chinese food in Liverpool.

I went to the Yuet Ben for a family party for 17 people including 4 children. The whole experience was awful. No tables were ready and at one point the person who seemed to be in charged asked if it would be ok to sit at two tables across the walk way. We had to wait 2hours for our main meal. The food was ok but nothing special. This restaurant is living on its past history. After this awful experience we had a £52 service charge!!! Please dont waste your money here there are so many fabulous places to eat in Liverpool.

Disappointing overall experience. Burnt crispy duck - registered this, but staff generally disinterested and in no way sympathetic or apologetic. Long (abnormal) wait for food. Soured an exciting weekend trip to Liverpool.

Really tasty food and good value for money. Excellent service

The food was tasty but they don't have much variety on choices.

Came early on Friday 12 Nov, been trying to get here for ages, well worth the wait, food is absolutely amazing, Terry and his team are very welcoming, be back for sure!

Great food! Make sure you try Yuet Ben dry ribs

We had our best ever Chinese meal here last week. Can honestly say we enjoyed every mouthful. The starters were amazing - especially the spare ribs and crispy duck with chilli sauce . We had Menu B but swapped the chicken for King Prawns and that was such a good decision as the Prawns were cooked to perfection. Just wish that I’d had room for dessert as my husband thoroughly enjoyed his .Meal was very reasonable and we had a lovely view of the lit up gate. Can’t wait to return to Liverpool again so that we can visit this restaurant again.

This place continues to serve outstanding food. Come here every trip back home. Never anything but excellent.

As ever the food is wonderful. Best ribs in the world. Terry's food is always top notch. Been regular customers since 1978.

Absolutely fantastic food with incredible service. Excellent value & highly recommended. I believe this is the oldest Chinese restaurant in Liverpool and there is great reason for it. The prawn toast was very delicious and freshly made. Highly recommend asking for their own made chilli oil which was scrumptious. The spicy lamb was tender and full of flavour. I asked for it to be extra spicy which they kindly obliged. The prices are very reasonable. The service is very friendly and the chef & owners greet & interact with you. Highly recommended

Love this place, the ribs are THE BEST 👍🏻

Best Chinese food ever ! Every time I am back home in Liverpool I make sure I come here. You must try the ribs. I have been to the supposed best all round the world ....not a patch on the Yuet Ben

Beautiful food and fantastic service, would highly recommend 👌

Amazing food, wonderful service.

Lovely setting with great views over the Chinatown gate. Lovely curries (we had garlic prawn, blackbean beef, hot spicy chicken and sweet sour fish. Egg fried rice was lovely. Prawn toast wasn't our favourite but was fine. Prices reasonable and the deals for two look like good value. Nice elegant setting, lovely manager and good curries. Interesting vegan menu too

The food was beautiful, i totally reccomend to eat here👍

Visited for a take away, picked here as they have a full separate Vegan menu. Loads of choices which isn't always the case at a Chinese! The sweetcorn soup is AMAZING! Can't wait to go back and have it again! The whole meal tasted super fresh and for a take away it tasted clean, not greesy at all. Highly recommend. Staff lovely too

Great service and very happy with the food! Will definitely go again.

Outstanding meal and excellent hospitality, well worth a visit!

The food was disgusting hair in my food and was cold and when I asked staff to get me fresh food they said no because they made it fresh which was a lie

Gold standard absolutely gorgeous food cannot be beaten - perfect for the whole family to enjoy for any occasion. Worth the journey from Wirral and will definitely repeat.

Been going here for many years. Food still excellent

Our first visit and will certainly be back very soon! The food is simply amazing. Lamb with Leeks especially good. Service very friendly and we were to made to feel very welcome. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed dinner at this very friendly restaurant. The ribs were good and my son loved his crab and sweetcorn soup. They had run out of chicken, but during these covid times that could be easily forgiven. The crispy chilli beef and crispy lamb were soooo yummy. The service was very friendly - thanks for a lovely evening!

Went here on a trip to Liverpool and had a lovely meal. They have a great vegetarian menu. The shredded tofu and hoisin is recommended. The crispy rice also is lovely and something i've never seen in any other restaurant

We had a wonderful trip down memory lane and called into the Yuet Ben for tea on Saturday. The food was fabulous, the staff are so nice and accommodating. All Covid Restrictions in place , hand sanitizers and wide spaced tables . Please support this fabulous restaurant, you won’t be disappointed!!

The vegetarian menu is great. Shredded tofu and hoisin sauce is recommended. As is the crispy rice and tomato sauce. Never seen it in any other restaurant before.. delicious.

La promesa de un menú pequeño me llevó a creer que lo que hacen deben hacerlo bien. Las sopas eran el mismo producto homogéneo que puedes conseguir en cualquier comida para llevar de la calle. Las tostadas de gambas parecían tener una pasta sabrosa debajo de las semillas, pero estaban demasiado fritas, casi quemadas. El arroz frito de carne mixta era un arroz frito con huevo promedio con algunos fragmentos de carne bastante sin sabor, y gritaba desesperadamente por condimento. El pollo con cereza agridulce fue lo más destacado: húmedo con una salsa picante y una masa crujiente ligera. (No tengo idea de si hubo cereza involucrada, pero estaba sabrosa). El pato en frijoles negros eran unos trozos de pato con una salsa espesa de frijoles negros que dominaba cualquier otro sabor.Para ser justos, fue una noche tranquila y cómplice, tal vez no estaban en su mejor momento. El servicio fue amable y cálido, gente realmente encantadora luchando en un momento difícil. Les deseo lo mejor y espero que esta honestidad de las reseñas les ayude a mejorar su juego para sobrevivir.

?? Así que la semana pasada decidimos ir a Liverpool por un chino. Reservamos Yuet Ben en Upper Duke Street. ¡Todo lo que puedo decir es que la comida era magnífica y ciertamente un corte por encima de su restaurante chino promedio! ?????? Comenzamos con Spring Rolls y Sesame Prawn Toast, seguido de Crispy Duck. Luego vinieron las costillas, un poco desordenadas ya que estaban cocinando un nuevo lote, ¡pero vale la pena esperar! Estaban simplemente deliciosos, tiernos y sabrosos. ¿Para nuestros platos principales teníamos pechuga de cordero crujiente? y Hot and Spicy Lamb, ¡ambos eran simplemente hermosos! Fueron acompañados de arroz frito con huevo y Chow Mein. El propietario Terry amablemente nos trajo una copa de vino de postre Muscat para completar nuestra comida. Recomiendo encarecidamente Yuet Ben por su comida de excelente calidad.

Nice food lovely staff will visit again

Después de que nuestra mesa en el restaurante de al lado había sido regalada ya que llegamos un poco tarde (y muy decepcionados) terminamos probando Yuet Ben y estamos muy contentos de haberlo hecho. De hecho, después de comer allí, nos alegramos de no haber podido ir a la puerta de al lado, definitivamente obtuvimos la mejor oferta. El personal era encantador y muy acogedor y, a pesar de la situación actual, no tuvimos ningún problema para conseguir una mesa para dos sin reserva. La camarera fue amable y conversó con nosotros sobre nuestro viaje a Liverpool. La comida tenía una excelente relación calidad-precio, nuestra comida más barata en Liverpool ese fin de semana. Compartimos un cuarto de pato crujiente y panqueques como entrante y fue más que suficiente para dos, ¡delicioso! Luego, para los platos principales, teníamos pollo en salsa de frijoles negros y pollo en salsa sate, ambos con arroz frito con huevo. No nos podemos quejar de la comida en absoluto. Ambos platos principales estaban deliciosos. Normalmente no elegiría la salsa sate, pero me alegro de haberlo hecho, ya que estaba tan deliciosa, un poco picante pero perfecta. Las raciones eran abundantes y nos fuimos bien y realmente satisfechos. ¡El 100% recomendaría este restaurante y desearíamos que esto hubiera sido parte de nuestro plan original!

I had a very good meal here last night, and the service was excellent!

Amazing food and really friendly. 100% recommend going there.

Thank you for a great night. From the moment we entered we felt like 'Honoured Guests.' Food and service was faultless and all at a fair price. First, but certainly not the last, visit to a great restaurant. Visited 24/08/20

Nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos desde el momento en que llegamos. El servicio fue excelente y un miembro del personal explicó en detalle en qué consistía cada plato a un cliente sentado cerca. La comida era perfecta y, para mí, la cantidad justa.En resumen, gracias por una experiencia maravillosa, nos sentimos como 'huéspedes de honor' y definitivamente volveremos

Superlative food, excellent service - what more can I say!

Visita de regreso después del encierro, reservado para el cumpleaños de Dave, como siempre, Terry y su equipo se aseguraron de que la pasáramos de maravilla. ¿La comida estaba tan deliciosa? como siempre, generosas porciones cocinadas a la perfección. Los mejores chinos de Liverpool. No puedo agradecer lo suficiente a todo el encantador equipo familiar, ¿siempre nos haces sentir especiales con un servicio al cliente increíble? ¿Me encanta tu hermoso restaurante? todas las pautas gubernamentales en su lugar perfecto? muy recomendable para cualquier ocasión. ¿No puedo esperar a volver? gracias Sibelle y Dave?

Best meal I've eaten since lockdown..... fabulous food, brilliant service... i hope everybody orders a takeaway and keeps Yuet Ben in business...can't wait to book a table xxx

Después de haber disfrutado de las comidas aquí durante muchos años, decidimos darnos un capricho para llevar, ya que actualmente este encantador restaurante ofrece esta instalación los jueves, viernes y sábados por la noche. Pedimos Banquet be y viajó a casa de forma ordenada y cuidadosamente empaquetada y lo disfrutamos mucho. Porciones de tamaño decente y sabores encantadores. ¡Y las famosas costillas de Yuet Ben, por supuesto! También quedamos impresionados por los procedimientos de higiene implementados en la recolección y la capacidad de pagar en línea al realizar el pedido, lo que lo hace fácil y seguro para todos. ¡Gracias Yuet Ben! ¡Un rayo de sol gourmet en la situación actual!

Amazing food as always! Three very happy customers! Terry and Theresa are both lovely and I would reccomend the Yuet Ben to any one!

Honest tasty food in a lovely setting

Used to come here frequently years ago but since moving away this was the first visit for about 11 years. I must say it was as good as I remember. The service was excellent and so friendly. The food was amazing and the bill for three people was so reasonable. If you want excellent food and service then look no further.

Nuestra tercera visita a Liverpool y no podíamos perder una tercera visita a Yuet Ben, esta vez en compañía de nuestra sobrina y su esposo de Australia. No nos decepcionó la calidad de la comida y el ambiente. El servicio de Emma era insuperable, era muy acogedora y amable, un verdadero activo para cualquier restaurante. Gracias.

If you want to taste authentic Chinese food served by friendly, welcoming staff - look no further than the Yuet Ben. Decor is warm and inviting. Spotlessly clean. Well done Terry, Theresa and Emma. Can’t wait to return - a lovely evening.

As we were staying near Chinatown it made sense to go to a Chinese restaurant one night. This place seemed to have more customers than all the other places put together so seemed the best bet.My fiancee was delighted to have chicken in yellow bean sauce as apparently you can't get it too many places these days, while the beef sate was also good. Service was a bit slow but I think that was because so many people came at once (and they seemed a bit short staffed).If you're looking for a meal in Chinatown this is where I'd go.

I love coming here as the do a really lovely vegan banquet. It is not expensive and the service is great.

Do not visit Liverpool without coming to this restaurant. Terry and team are amazing and cannot do more to make you welcome. Great fresh cooked food, tasty and well presented. This restaurant should have Michelin stars!

The chicken cashew is like no other. Love it!

Great food great service will definitely go again..

Great food, lovely staff,and great service

Nice meal haven't been for a long time. I will be back.

Delicious food and great service. The ribs were a particular favourite with our group

The meal and service was excellent. I ordered the shredded beef and my wife ordered the chicken in black bean sauce, both with egg fried rice and prawn crackers. Very light and tasty and clearly made with fine fresh ingredients. Highly recommended.

Lots of good looking restaurants in China town in Liverpool. Went for this place. Delighted with out choice for loads of reasons. Amazing welcome, smashing waitress from Liverpool who chatted with us about attending the match. Really felt she went the extra mile for us. Food was Devine. Spoke to Terry (the owner) and he made us feel like a regular. My son went for the speciality sweet and sour cherry chicken and he was delighted- I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Toilets immaculate. It is located directly opposite the stunning Chinese arch which we had some photographs taken. Thank you everyone and your chao chao dog is absolutely gorgeous- a real princess!

Great atmosphere, great chef & food

I have visited this restaurant a few times over the years, with my friend and nevery had a bad meal yet. I am vegetarian, going vegan, and gluten free as well. One of the things I love most about this restaurant is the lovely, friendly staff who always greet me with a warm welcome and go that extra mile to accommodate my special dietary requirements, very often adapting dishes on the menue to make them suitable for me. Nothing is too much trouble and I can trust the recommendations as they will spend time ascertaining what foods you like and basing their recommendation on the information you give them. A small, established family business, the quality of the food and the service is excellent. I believe this restaurant provides outstanding value for money.

Really pleasant and efficient staff, tasty food, reasonable prices and good atmosphere. Hope to go again sometime.

The food is outstanding. Have never been disappointed. The actual restaurant can be quite noisy on Saturday nights because it gets so busy and sometimes groups can be loud. Service is good. Best Chinese food in the city for me.

Delicious food, friendly staff. Had one of the set menus which at £20 was a good deal. Would recommend.

Very disappointed visit gone down hill big time portion very small prices high and taste poor chow mein sent it back The owner not interested says that’s the way we do it no customer service

Delicious food, excellent service. Small menu so everything is done well! Would recommend!

I've been here a few times now and I think it's one of the best in Liverpool.Great food and a warm atmosphere .I'll be back before Christmas.

The staff are really lovely and they did seem slightly understaffed. The food was ok. The decor is nice. I would come back for the staff but not for the food.

The Tuet Ben is the oldest and best Chinese restaurant in Liverpool. Ideally placed and walkable from the town centre

It's several years since we visited this long established Chinese restaurant. The food remains a culinary delight and together wityh great service and a friednly environment you just can't go wrong. The hot and sour soup is probably one of the best you will taste while my wife said her prawn toasts were just about perfect. She said the same about her prawns and cashew nuts while I tried the chicken in crispy rice in tomato sauce which was lovely and would highly recommend.All in all It was a lovely meal with no complaints.

Excellent restaurant, basic but spot on

Great place to eat, friendly staff, service is excellent and food is to die for.

Just a Chinese restaurant unfortunately

Have not eaten here for about 30 years so it was nice to go back with friends mid week in September.

The very best Beef Chow Mein on this planet

We visited because this restaurant because it featured in an episode of The Hairy Bikers TV show. The guys were blown away with the food served here and so were we. It's situated right outside the gate of Chinatown and this makes it a fantastic location to enjoy the best Chinese meal you will ever have the pleasure to eat. Nothing was too much trouble for Theresa and Terry and we can't wait to visit again the next time when we are in Liverpool.

5 of us visited here midweek to round off a gentlemens afternoon touring some of the old pubs in Liverpool. We chose the Yuet Ben because of its long standing reputation and looked forward to an excellent meal. We decided to go for the £20 banquet. I have to say the service was friendly but slow and the food was rather bland and expensive for what it was. The ribs were dry with no sauce, the cispy duck was also fairly dry and there wasnt much of it. The mixed parcels and chop suey rolls were poor and lacked any flavour or quality. The main courses were a little better, particularly the beef in blackbean and the fried rice and noodles were excellent.
