The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Chinese food

“Yam Sing”? More Like “Yam Sigh” The name Yam Sing is meant to evoke cheers and celebration—but my experience felt more like a bad sitcom than a toast to victory. I ordered via their app, paid, and got a confirmation. Everything seemed fine until I arrived at the restaurant, only to be greeted by a staff member who acted like I’d just crashed their family reunion. Apparently, my order was “cancelled”—news to me, considering I had proof of the order right on my phone. What followed was a masterclass in customer service gone wrong. The staff member’s tone was as sharp as a wok spatula, and their “apology” had all the sincerity of a fortune cookie cliché. Despite my efforts to explain, the hostility continued. If Yam Sing means “Cheers,” then they need to check their own recipe, because this experience was anything but celebratory. If you want to be treated rudely, visit the Yam Sing—it seems to be their specialty.

Nous sommes passés devant ce restaurant qui nous a fait de l'oeil avec ses hot-pots conviviaux. Après avoir décidé de rentrer, on a été relativement bien accueilli et nous nous sommes régalés ! J'ai beaucoup aimé le concept : on choisit un bouillon, puis de la viande (plateau d'environ 300g) coupée très finement, et un accompagnement qui peut (ou non) se cuire directement dans le bouillon. Le bouillon était franchement excellent, tout comme les nouilles à cuire directement dedans. Ça donnait également un bon goût à la viande très fine, l'agneau était d'ailleurs excellent. On s'en est sorti pour 56€ à deux (47£), pour deux boissons et un hot pot avec deux accompagnements. Cela me semble raisonnable au regard des autres prix à Londres, et nous avons bien mangé dans une bonne ambiance. En conclusion, c'était une bien bonne soirée !

I have dined at this Restaurant several times, both food and service is of a consistently high standard. I would recommend without hesitation. Eddie Reid

Food delivery was early food was fantastic large portion and good all round experience Certainly recommend

It's very traditional, no frills place, but food is excellent and served pretty quick. Asked to pay in advance which is fine and menu is quite extensive, something for everyone. Not the most maintained of places but it it probably aimed at the student population and area. If you are looking for great traditional authentic food and not too fussy about the decor or furnishings, then would highly recommend. It's great food.

Very bland and greasy, quite outdated place and only takes cash which makes me suspicious.

Terrible. This service was an awful experience. Firstly the menu is unclear and the server was not any help to clear it up. Secondly the food was delivered cold and greasy/oily and the portions were not equal. We were over charged for our food which we tried to talk to the server about but he brushed it off rudely like it was irrelevant. To finish the experience off the delivery driver did not have any change which was not acceptable and was not very pleasant to talk to. This experience was not acceptable as they should be professionals and take responsibility for their mistakes and actions. I will not be returning and I do not recommended going here. Definitely not worth the money. Disgraceful.

Just had a meal from New Lucky View, im one fussy person but it was absolutely delicious ,we will certainly be back,think you gained yourselves another customer. The lady that served was very nice and very cheerful.

Great food. Great temperatures. Great service.

The only Chinese I will order from in Portsmouth. I lived local to them for years, then moved to southsea, tried a few different places that didn't hit the spot and now just drive to hilsea to pick up my food. Or have a delivery.

One of my favourite places to eat, the food was delicious and very friendly and helpful staff. The best service anywhere, nothing was too much and always happy to please. Will be greatly missed.

Ive heard mixed reviews but thought I would try it here and I loved it. Took about 25 minutes for food to be ready but that's normal for places! Food was good couldn't fault it. Staff were friendly aswell. Will definitely be going back.

Never had a problem with the food, however, went again tonight website said it was open, when I got there from Boxhill it wasn’t ! This is the third time in 4/5 years this has happened to me, won’t be going back.

They've changed the satay sauce recipe by adding curry to it. It now basically tastes like a run of the mill curry sauce to the point you couldn't tell the difference between chicken satay and chicken curry. Shame really as it's one of the better takeaways in Carluke but I'll need to look elsewhere now as I don't like the taste of their new satay dishes.

The food was delivered promptly but when it came it was cold and tasted like it had been reheated! I suspect it was Food from earlier left over. When i phoned the restaurant the person was Indifferent to the point of rudeness.
