The best restaurants serving Chinese food in East Midlands

“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.

Used this Chinese takeaway for years now. Have to say the service and food is consistently top draw. Sometimes frustrating that they will only take cash (must be casino nights 😂) but that’s my only grumble

Bland, bland, bland. Never had such a tasteless Chinese. Maybe it was just a one off but should never happen at these prices

We should have read reviews before placing an order. The food was extremely bland and was barely warm. Would definitely not use again.

Great takeaway best in Mansfield xxxx

The food is disgusting. I do not recommend

Very friendly staff, quick and helpful. You can’t complain about the food, there’s a nice variety on, and always stocked up. Only complaint was that it was very cold sat in the restaurant, the tables are glass top so these felt even colder. But general service and food, couldn’t complain for a nice, local buffet. Affordable price too, there was 3 of us adults, and for 3 x buffet and 3 x soft drinks it come to £59 and a few pennies which I think was affordable for £20 each, all you can eat. Thank you! Would visit again.

Very disappointed ordered a prawn curry, this brown wishy washey water came out .I asked if this was a curry. She said it was . I have never seen a dark brown thin water chinese curry before. Disgusting. Alec

Bamboo and water chestnuts king prawns Came with no water chestnuts Wasn’t told Starter pancakes rolls was terrible Poor

Not been here for a while. Excellent service, phone the order in and was told when it would be ready, I arrived 5 minutes early expecting to wait, it was ready exactly at the time stated when I ordered.

Absolutely brillant everytime we go. Food is always cooked fresh to order. Staff are always polite and friendly. This time there was 30 of us but normally me and the Mrs go every couple of months.

Unbelievable flavour big portions very helpful a reasonable priced. We come from le2 to pick this lovley food up 😍 would recommend any one with Chinese in mind to give this a go ,

dreadful spent good money on a takeaway , was bland, tasteless, poor quality all round, feel gutted that you spend hard earned money on a meal which hasn't been prepared as nicely as you would expect, must be improved, sorry to submit this poor review

I phoned my order through at 6:20pm to be told there was an hour and a half wait. I said yes, that’s fine. I was then told the food would be ready at 7:45. We arrived on time to collect our order, expecting a small wait as there usually is on a Saturday night but I didn’t expect to be waiting for a whole hour! There were lots of disgruntled people waiting for their food and being told to wait however many more minutes, then I spoke to a man who had been told to collect his food at 8:15, half an hour after I was told ours would be ready and he was given his order before us! How is that fair? Although our food was good, we will not be returning. I would rather drive a few miles further to collect our food on time than stand there waiting for a whole hour! It could have been cooked in an hour, without the added hour and a half on top! Disgusted.

While visiting friends here, I suggested that we have a Chinese takeaway. This one is very close by were my friends live, we ordered a selection of dishes from the very comprehensive menu. And we certainly wasn't disappointed with the amount and the quality of the food. Would have given it 4.5 stars but had to give four stars. Certainly recommend this establishment and definitely use again next time we are visiting our friends. And good value for money .
