Where is the best Chinese in Sheffield and why?

I like Happy House on City Road, local, realativly cheap, good food and good service.

Hing lung Abbeydale road,cheap & big portions.Do a "search" aswell;)

if its take-aways u mean then hong too near hillsborough football ground is gorgeous! not tried lots of chinese take aways in sheff but that is really nice and give decent portions and not really expensive either :)

Canton Orchard at Fulwood....a bit classier and pricier than most Chinese restaurants, and well worth it.

Good food, very friendly service, a delight to go to.

I used to like a place that was accross the road (going towards town) from the Palais - don't know if it's still open though.

Do You Mean The "Canton King"?
Their Portions Of Chips Are Absolutely Massive.:thumbsup:

oh im not sure freebird. when we used to use it bout half a year ago it was called hong too. on the main road just down from the football stadium... its on a corner with a little shop on the other corner :) lovely food

I couple of years ago I would have agreed with you, but recently I think the food doesn't taste of much, it seems really bland. I can't see the point of having a big portion if it's rubbish, I'd rather have a small portion and enjoy it.

Before one of you say it "It's not the quantity it's the quality"

well i haven't eaten from these since about october last year so it might of changed but i haven't tried many chinese take aways in sheff so it probably aint the best i just enjoyed it :)

I know what you are saying xchubbs1987, we can't resist going back every now and then to try it, cos it used to be so good.

Forgot to say, we now go to Blue Diamond on Holme Lane most of the time

WOK MANIA on west street! all you can eat buffett! bloody lovely! mmmmm

where is wok mania

I used to like a place that was accross the road (going towards town) from the Palais - don't know if it's still open though.

CANDYTOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!! The greatest crispy duck in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely HEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUGGGGEEEEEEEEEE portions, and cheap, and bloody tasty.

Not had chance to get there for ages, so not if it's still open, but the frontage is still up.

yes it still open went a few weeks ago

wokmania in west street. Mmmmmmm

WOKMANIA IN WEST STREET. Mmmmmm

yes it still open went a few weeks ago

Cool!!!! Have to get down there again ........

Has to be Wong Tings just off the moor in town...the most authentic chinese i've ever been to!

if it's take away you want, i'd have to say 'Lee's' H used to own the rainbow on white lane but now he's moved to behind the 'Hogs Head' pub at Hackenthorpe. Delicious. I could kill for his peking ribs. :thumbsup:

how about the one near the deepend in hillboro - think it be called 'mr tse's' or summut. it's the only chinese i've found for ages that the food actually tastes really good - decent ingredients and well cooked.

I like Happy House on City Road, local, realativly cheap, good food and good service.
Me and my husband have always ordered from there and we thought they was the best we'd had......until my husband got tucking into his beef curry one day and the meat was still raw :gag: we've not had any from there since then, its put us off!

Did you complain ?

Tried our new local last night 'Jade Garden (S35)' and it was lovely. Huge portions and very cheap.

The Prawn Crackers are spot on too.

Canton King, Middlewood Rd. Just look at the queue on a Saturday teatime!! Great portions and good food. Good staff as well, usually very quick.

Is that the one where you can't see where the entrance is and can only see the sign (think it's near oxfam)

Definitely the Hong Kong Wok on Abbeydale Road, just about opposite John Bees Autos near the bottom of Woodseats Road. :thumbsup:

Absolutely magnificent food, and at the most reasonable prices too. :clap:

For a takeaway delivered to your door I'd recommend the Golden Lee on London Road.

Our favourite meal for two costs about £16;

Starter - Pin Pun - consists of Prawn Toasts, Spare Ribs, Spring Rolls, Crispy Seaweed and those butterfly shaped thingies.

Main Courses - Chicken and cashew nuts in yellow bean sauce (yum) and sweet and sour king prawns - half a dozen each and they're fat and juicy. Egg fried rice, one portion is plenty for two.

They throw in a bag of prawn crackers.

I like Dim Sum on London Rd. I especially like their steamed chives dumplings. Mmm... (However, if they hike up their prices too much, I'm not gonna frequent it as much any more ! Bah.)

Just moved here from Vancouver, Canada.....basically the chinese capital of Canada....and I know good chinese food. I would have to say that they best chinese food in Sheffield that I have found so far is NOODLE INN on London Road. And the best stuff there? Definitely the ROAST PORK. Mmmmmm!

Golden Dragon - Moor or the one on the way down to it also on the moor (the doorways just past Allsports)!

I love canton king in hillsborough, though I haven't been to every chinese in sheffield so i don't know which is best!

Golden House at Wimm gardens is ace - I live at Loxley but often take the drive over there it's that nice.

I could just tackle some Sweet and Sour Chicken now.

Golden Dragon - Moor or the one on the way down to it also on the moor (the doorways just past Allsports)!

Golden Dragon is now called Wong Ting (I've probably spelt that wrong).

I went a few weeks back and it was excellent. Food was spot on, the place was impressive and very clean and the staff were delightful and good with my two young daughters.

Practically everyone else eating in there was of Chinese origin: Always a good sign! Recommended.

I would have said Zing Vaa but I've always had problems with their miserable (and untrusting) staff.

What do you guys think about my fav Chinese place? NOODLE INN?

Well if you are talking Takeaways then it has to be Wok this way! on South Road Walkey not only for the best name but the food is ace, well priced and the best bit is the kitchen is in the shop front so you can watch them cook your food while you wait. Lots of fresh veg and not so much MSG. Now if you are talking restaurants then I rate Zing Va, it's under the Moor near BHS. It's been there years, my mum had her 16th birthday there and she is now in her late forties. Another sign that it is a quality place is a lot of Chinese people eat there!

Canton king - middlewood rd

Big portions and great taste, what more could u ask for?

Sorry hand slipped or maybe I like them soo much I had to say it twice!

I think I know what you mean. It's the 'Fan Dim' (=rice shop) kind of style, right ? Large portions of rice or noodle dishes on a plate.

Dim Sum just up the road is similar too. Maybe portion sizes are not that great compared to Noodle Inn, but the standard is pretty high. You should also try the roast pork in Wong Ting on Matilda St.

I've yet to find a place that does it with the dark sugar (malactose) to give that seriously sweet flavour. Mmm. Now that's what I call Roast Pork. :)

Practically everyone else eating in there was of Chinese origin: Always a good sign! Recommended.
This is true. I know this thread is more about the chinese takeaway really, than restaurants. Zing Vaa, Golden Dragon (now Wong Ting), Mei's, Dim Sum, and currently Noodle Inn are indeed the only contenders. Only a handful of these do dim sums as well. (Zing Vaa, Golden Dragon, Mei's, Dim Sum). You'll find that the crowd will follow wherever the decent dim sum chefs go. ;)

Where's Mei's??

Cool!!!! Have to get down there again ........
Defo still open, I know the ladies who own it (well I've been there enough) and it's fab.

The other good thing is they happily bag up anything you can't eat so you get two meals for the price of one as the set dishes there are massive!

They took the Chinese delegation there during the World Student Games, case solved!

This post is making me hungry. I will have to start doing the Sheffield chinese restaurant tour next week.

Wok Mania on West street :thumbsup:

Great buffet. My friends and me have been 5 times now. Excellant value for money.:clap:

Where's Mei's??

Probably my fave...

In town, 19 Charles St.

Kind of diagonally opposite the Casbah or round the back of Cole Brothers, but one road over. Find the small doorway, go downstairs!

Expectations are'nt high on your first visit from the strange entry - food is great though!

definately noodle inn, london rd

Kins Kitchen... Ridgeway Rd (down from gleadless townend)

Kins Kitchen... Ridgeway Rd (down from gleadless townend)

You have to be joking ...... almost as bad as the Rainbow on White Lane ....... each to their own I suppose ........long, long tme since I used either .......

Dim Sun on London road has to be the only serious contender here. Smaller portions and a little more pricey but when you go there look around you !!!! you may well be the only non-chinese person in there - that has to be a good reference. Choose carefully and be nosey about what the chinese people on the next table are ordering - they know how to make food go further and how to mix different food groups - I would choose this one every time. Do think that the lady in charge ought to go to "smile" classes though

if it's take away you want, i'd have to say 'Lee's' H used to own the rainbow on white lane but now he's moved to behind the 'Hogs Head' pub at Hackenthorpe. Delicious. I could kill for his peking ribs. :thumbsup:


Nice food and lee is the friendliest man ever

For take away and a resturant for us its Hei Moon (Old EXcelsior) Middlewood Road the new owners are great and so is the food :thumbsup:

TIM PO MOOR
Near waitrose petrol station on london road.
Good portions , everything they do is cooked fresh.

Excellent friendly service.

For a great chinese curry or chow mein New wok master on wordsworth drive is gorgeous, and their chips are beautiful. It is take away only but well worth a try!!!

I didn't think much to the jade garden S35, Their curry tasted like a mixture of a bad curry and a chip shop gravy.

The one on middlewood road next to the kfc (sameside) is really nice too and the portions are big! Not as good as wok master though!

The popularity of the all-you-can-eat places does seem to show that Sheffield folk arent ars*d about quality as long as there is lots of quantity...

theres only one chinese in sheffield whats worth eating and it called kins kitchen near gleadless townend sweet special currys and they do em in cardboard like the proper chinese meals should be in ridgeway road it is.:thumbsup:

GOT TO AGREE WITH YOU HAPPY HIPPY
Candytown is definately the no.1 for quality taste. I feel it is a bit minty but you get what you pay for.
Jumbo for all you can eat is cool as is Wokmania.
Wah Lin up pitsmoor is very cheap but nice, the chicken wings in honey is damn nice..

Oh I'm gutted as I was in Singapore in the summer of 2004 and would have loved to have known about this site.

I will have to bare it in mind next time I travel through there.

Candytown is totally awesome. Has to be the best Set Menu Selection in Sheffield!

I know good resturant in Woodhouse called the Lotus House an old stone built building.

can anyone reccommend a takeaway/delivery in the city centre? Walked up west street other day but had to settle for a curry in the end. not a bad thing mind! shahibs very good btw, even chased me down the road when they forgot my chipatis!!

Wattsy - Have you tried the 'Golden Star' chinese takeaway in woodhouse? If not then do so as it is simply amazing. 'Akash' the indian takeaway next door is also fabulous!!!

Mr Skinner- Hui Wei in the old Glossop Road baths do take away. IMO they do the best chinese in the city. Unfortunately I dont think there is a discount on the eat in prices though.

Is Candytown open for lunch?

It certainly is :D

has anybody tried these ones?

zing vaa:thumbsup:

Simply Chinese At The Rock in dronfield:thumbsup:

these are three of my favorites

zing va is ok but I always feel like I'm imposing on their time and each time we have gone felt like they were waiting for us to finish so they can give us the bill.

Hi

If you are not bothered about going to a restauarant and want an amazing take away, ring China Garden on City Road.... it is the best chinese food ever.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: WOK THIS WAY THE BEST EVER.:banana: :banana: Well if you are talking Takeaways then it has to be Wok this way! on South Road Walkey not only for the best name but the food is ace, well priced and the best bit is the kitchen is in the shop front so you can watch them cook your food while you wait.

I like Canton Wok on Woodseats. Reasonable prices, fairly big portions and the food is gorgeous. :D

Hui Wei on West St. - Posh(ish!) and you don't need to eat for a week beforehand... One to impress a date.

Canton Orchard at Fulwood....a bit classier and pricier than most Chinese restaurants, and well worth it.

Good food, very friendly service, a delight to go to.

Ade

Not convinced it was worth the extra, personally.

Went to Noodle Inn last week...very impressed

not sure if its strictly chinese but same sort of food

where is wok mania

Don't go to wok mania, chinese buffets are never as nice as going to a proper chinese restaurant because you can tell they are done on cheap. The meat is like jelly. Great place when your hungover and not bothered though.

My hubby loves his chinese and this we think is the best place, a bit posh, lovely service, very good price. Never felt like they were rushing you but you don't feel like you can just sit and have a few drinks before your meal.

I agree with some of the other posts that Zing Vaa in the Moor is the best - I don't even like Chinese food but theirs is gorgeous, and I think it's MSG free as it never disagrees with me. Go before 6pm for the bargain set menu - about 6 quid for soup, mains and desert.

Mei's is a superb Chinese restaurant. Good sized portions and excelent quality. It's not too cheap but not too expensive either.

Highly recommended

(If you go try the honey and lemon chicken and salt and pepper squid)

Address: 19 Charles Street

It's been there 20 plus years but is easy to miss, very good if not in Candy Town's league

Candytown is good for dinner
as for lunch, Hui-Wei in West Street has some new lunch menu that sounds pretty good

go along london road, the place that used t be called mao's is great- bit different and looks posh but is still cheap!

Noodle Inn on London Road for authentic Chinese food. Salt & Pepper Squid mmmmm! also a bit further along on the other side Dim Sum. Slightly more expensive but a little more up-market eating environment

I really like Mei's on Charles St in town.

Noodle Inn

:thumbsup: China Town in Woodhouse Village V.V.NICE never had a bad meal (you can eat in or Takeaway)

I've tried quite a few...Wokmania is probably the most consistently good quality buffet, although Jumbos and No.1 do have their moments (if you visit during the more expensive evening meal times) and are also generally good. Candytown is pretty good, although the only time I ate I bit into what I thought would be sesame prawn toast and found it to be sesame prawn spam!!

Zing Va is good, but has never really grabbed me. The feeling that they think they're doing you a favour by allowing you to eat there can be offputting.

There's a fairly reasonable takeaway near me, but I'm buggered if I can remember it's name!!!

Been to Jumbo for lunch a few times over the Christmas holidays, consistently good. Dunno what the little desserts are called that come in squares on a very small saucer but they are superb

CANDYTOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!! The greatest crispy duck in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely HEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUGGGGEEEEEEEEEE portions, and cheap, and bloody tasty.


I second that! Any of the duck meals there are mouthwateringly good :)

candytown is the best:D :thumbsup:

RESTAURANTS

For quality chinese food.....NOODLE INN cant be beaten....

For Atmosphere above average food WONG TING

For party bookings CANDYTOWN

For chinese but different JABU FONDUE

THE WORST is TIM PO.

THANK YOU I KNOW COS I HAVE TRIED EVERY CHINES RESTAURANT IN SHEFFIELD...

I love Wong Ting, especially the lunch time dim sums, I could have those every day :)

Hehn's on Langsett Road Hillborough - 15 minutes from order to delivery, the best chow mein ever and lemon chicken mmmmmmmmmm......

Wok Mania (West Street) we walked out of just before Christmas - it was dirty, no salads or starters - paper napkins lying about in the pools of choc. fountain on the floor. Picked a main course, it was cold - not even lukewarm. As the waiter brought the drinks we just left - would not EVER go back there again. It would have cost £10 a head to stay:o

Must admit I havent had too many great experiences with the chinese restaurants in sheffield, and personally those buffets like Jumbos and wokmania just don't qualify as having food let alone chinese cuisine.

Went to Dim Sums last sunday heard many good things bout their dim sum... after the meal was left feeling like id chugged a bucket of grease, mebbes an off day?? heard v. good things bout Zing Vaa though might try it out.....

Try Candytown I've never had a bad meal there in 20 years!

Sorry to say but Mei's restaurant was awful went their Saturday night Service was shocking the girls were sat round the corner chatting so had to go up and order, food came and the chicken was not cooked, asked if it could be cooked a little more obviously had been heated in a microwave so ended up leaving it. Only other people in were a group who were friends of the owners...never had a bad Chinese until now...avoid really not worth it Candytown on London Road much nicer excellent service fantastic food and great value for money

Wong Ting on Matilda Street (off the Moor) ( What used to be the Golden Dragon) This is excellent. There are always lots of Chinese people in there, and they should know.

Canton King/Hong Too at hillsbourgh :thumbsup:

well, mind me to say that CANTON KING, is one of the worst take away in SHEFFIELD. i used to work part time there, and the way they prepare the food is really disgusting. Remembered that there was once a box of chicken curry dropped onto the floor, and guess what, the owner just picked up all the chickens and cook again with new curry sauce.

make me feel like vomit.
( what is the point of having extremely big portion but the cleanliness is in terrible condition):loopy:

THE WORST is TIM PO....

I quite like Tim Po - but then again - I'm a namby pamby veggie...

There is only one Chinese restaurant to win the arugment of best Chinese restaurant ...

CANDYTOWN OF COURSE !!!!

take away is wok this way in walkley, cooked in front of you all fresh and nice
i love it and the name!

For take away I like Wok This Way and when there is a group of us we go to Candytown, but tomorrow just two of us want to go for a meal.

Are there any Peking restaurants in Sheffield? I've really missed Peking style Chinese food since I moved North.

China Garden on City Road are yummy!

i hav tried many chinese restaurants and take away. i think Mc China in Sutton in Ashfield is worth to try. they have the best Thai cuisine, which is 99% as nice as the 1 i tried in Thai. Cant really remember the address, but should be 1st Floor,Market Place, Sutton In Ashfield. really worth a try.
Thanks:)

by the way, anyone tried korean food before ? the kimchi really nice, but i can't recommend any restaurant yet in england.

I went to Dim Sum on London Road last night. Been meaning to go for months but just never seem to get round to it. Tried some of their dim sum then had a beef and chicken dish (can't remember which as I was a bit tanked by then). Definitely recommend eating there. Very authentic style and reasonably priced. I've got to say that in my opinion it's the best Chinese I've been to.

Also agree with other posts; Candy Town is very good, as is the Canton Orchard and Wok This Way (for take-aways). And anyone who claims Wok Mania is good really wants their head (and stomach) examining.

atm 1st place jewel city 1 retford road

put your views on here

China Garden on City Road.:thumbsup:

Canton wok on chesterfield rd, woodseats:love:

Red Ruby at Fulwood

Try the silver pan at the bottom of staniforth rd on attercliffe.Brilliant food.:)

CANTON KING on middlewood road, hillsborough & MANDARIN PALACE on firth park road, firth park :hihi:

Not Wokswagon on Halifax Rd apprently.:suspect:

Canton King on Middlewood Rd - Hillsbro, by far the best with the biggest portions you have ever seen.

:-)

Hing Lung on Abbeydale Road:headbang::clap::thumbsup:

Ill have to put in a second vote for China Garden on City Road, their food is fantastic.

Ill have to put in a second vote for China Garden on City Road, their food is fantastic.

Thirded! Though I still miss the one that closed on Sheldon Rd about 5 years ago.

Wild Rice and Noodle inn on London rd are great too, and don't make your heart beat wildly after all the added crap!

New Hing Lung for me just ordered yum

Trouble is that they all sell the same crap bought from that chineese wholesale place by the student flats near Bramal Lane.

Simply Chinese @ The Old Cart & Horses, High Green.

Simply awesome.

Trouble is that they all sell the same crap bought from that chineese wholesale place by the student flats near Bramal Lane.

How do you know?

I'd go with the Canton King too, their portions are enormous and lush! I'd have also gone with the earlier vote of simply chinese except the last thing we had from there was rubbish....I was gutted :(

Canton wok on chesterfield rd, woodseats:love:


I once had their house special fried rice from CW & it wasn't anything near as good as Hing Lung on Abbeydale Road for portion size, tastiness & value for money Give HL a try.

Noodle bar on London rd. Not greasy, plain yummy :)

Hu Wei on glossop road, me and our lass went last week had a set menu and i never do that but it was excellent

wok master - wordsworth drive....:love:

dont know what its called but its on bradway shops next to S17 coffee shop. They do the best Kung Po chicken in the world!

Most Chinese resturants offer a take away service even if they dont do delivery or advertise it.

So my top 3 has to be East Ocean Cafe, just off the moor and next door to Tai Sun Chineese supermarket which Neeeeeek probably thinks is also full of crap lol.

Wong Ting, just up the road from Tai Sun and on the other side (good for Dim Sum on a Sunday lunchtime).

Noodle Inn on London Road

dont know what its called but its on bradway shops next to S17 coffee shop. They do the best Kung Po chicken in the world!

Top Chef



........................

Its defintitly not the Mayflower on Lane End!! it needs shutting down, its dirty, smells and the staff are ignorant!

The Chinese on Buchanan shops (opposite chaucer school) next door to Nayabs is lovely. There beef and green peppers in black bean sauce is divine! :love:

Hu Wei on glossop road, me and our lass went last week had a set menu and i never do that but it was excellent

Great place, but not a takeaway (AFAIK) ....

My vote goes for Wok this Way in Walkley (not the unrelated one in Ranmoor). It's seriously fantastic, and if you go in the place itself, you get to see all your food being cooked before your eyes by the fiery chefs.

Candy town on london road next to the small sainsburys also near waitros petrol station, its bit expensive but beautiful food and they have been established over 20 yrs.

Wok this Way at Walkley/Commonside is fantastic. Been to alot of chinese take aways in my time, but this one has really fresh ingredients, all cooked in front of you. No stodge or frozen/limp veggies in sight. The range of sauces - schezuan, black bean, satay, kung po etc are all good.

wok wonder in dronfield:thumbsup:

Wow, no one has mentioned Chan's in Millhouses. The best. They use fresh ingredients (not a load of msg) and their food tastes beautiful.

canton king on middlewood rd order for one and feed five.

Another vote for Wild Rice here...

ive got to say that rainbow on white lane gleadless is brill only problem is they dont deliver as they are always busy anyway!!

TBH, I don't think China Garden is that good at all. Dunno if it's the city road one I mean though.

Wok This Way - the Ranmoor version seems good to me.

Definately the Canton Kings in Hillsborough.

As mentioned above the food is wonderful and the portions have to be seen to be believed.

I cant believe nobody has mentioned Wok this Way at Walkey? :loopy:I have tried most of the above but this wins hands down!

You even watch them cook it - and i dont mean like canton king through the beaded curtain - its on a different level!:love::love:

wok wonder in dronfield:thumbsup:

that gets my vote, can't beat wok wonder

Mange on Heeley Green, good food and very generous portions

I think someone did! :)

Canton King is amazing!!

Wok this Way was sending the Sun Kong out of business when we were living in Walkely - we never tried them as we'd have felt too guilty about abonding our old favourite.

No we use the Hong Kong Garden (or could be kitchen??) at the top of Ecclesall Road nr HSBC.

Has anyone tried the Abbeydale Road one by the new Vets - we keep getting offers through our door for them>>

So, what's the recommendation for delivery in Fox Hill area? There is one just at the top of the hill but I didn't think it was great.

Used to get from Xang Sung Lea (sp?) on Middlewood road but they seem to be closed now.

I go to Hing Lung on Abbeydale Rd. every week, that place is great. Been to Candytown, brilliant - also really like Tim Po, been there several times, was suprised when someone posted earlier that they liked Candytown but not Tim Po.
Need to check out more places though, Wok This Way in Walkley seems to be getting some good reviews.
Went to Golden Dragon years ago (is it called Wong Ting now?) when my parents were visiting, I wasn't feeling that well that day, so just had some rice and stir fried veg (which was very nice) but yeah my folks and I were the only people in there who weren't Chinese, and it was totally full.
Must go back and check it out properly.

My vote goes to Wok This Way in Walkley...flippin' lovely!

As for the Canton King (Hillsborough), I've only been there once. Portions were massive, but the food wasn't brilliant.

I really like Hong Kong Garden on the top of ecclesall rd, next to HSBC! really nice food! always go on a friday and get special fried rice and deep fried chilli king prawns....proper tasty, and you can see the chefs cook 2! they do a 10% student discount, which is good 4 me!! :D.

We've just ordered from Angel on Chesterfield Road, and It was really nice. The Kung Po Beef was nice and spicy, the chow mein was fresh and crunchy, the basic chicken curry was wolfed down by its recipient, and the Thai green curry was very tasty. Portions are large too.

£10.50 for four main meals (I'm always tight and make my own rice!), and a small delivery charge isn't bad for four full tummies, and not having to cook it myself, especially as it tasted good!

It's not a restaurant but a take-away. The WILD RICE on London is wonderful. Though I am not a fan of any spicy food, I love their chilli spiced squid. Yum yum, indeed.

ooh yum this sounds good

Blimey! somebody asks about the best Chinese in Sheffield and we get a tsunami of suggestions from restaurants to corner shops selling bottles of soy sauce and chip butties.

Shall we talk restaurants for a minute?

Best Chinese restaurant in Sheffield? - Sorry, there aren't any. That's the sad fact. If you want a good Chinese restaurant you have to go to Manchester and visit the Yang Sing for example. That's a proper Chinese restaurant - of which there is nothing in Sheffield that can come within a grain of rice of it.

If you're not too discerning and don't mind "mixing it" with a few dozens social ne'er do wells under the influence of alcohol, then CandyTown on the bottom of London Road is cheap and cheerful and will help cure a Chinese urge. "Top Wok" used to be decent (on the Moor) but on my last visit there it was distinctly average - is it still in business?

The Canton Orchard is the poshest one and prices reflect this. Unusually for a Chinese restaurant it has a decent wine list and reasonable decor. The food is...err, ok. It appeals to people who live in big houses at Ranmoor - that's it's main reason for being.

Get on the train and go to Manchester is my advice. There's a proper Chinatown there with loads of choices - none better than Yang Sing.

i go to uni at manchester and haven't not found one good chinese restaurant in china town! if you want a good chinese in sheffield i would suggest dim sum (london road) and hong kong garden on top of ecclesall road. yum yum yuuuuumy!

well, not wishing to be rude here, but usually University students are not the best recommenders of restaurants due to the fact that the poor souls live off a pittance and can't really afford to splash out on an expensive meal.

I don't know the places in Sheffield that you recommend and I'm glad you've suggested them because I would be genuinely interested to give them a try.

All I would say about Manchester's Chinatown is:

1 Manchester has got one - Sheffield hasn't. Advantage Manchester.
2 The "Yang Sing" on Princess Street has been independently acclaimed to have the best "Chinese" food outside of Hong Kong. That is some accolade?

I'd suggest you try the Yang Sing sometime when you are feeling flush, or even the "Pacific" which does Chinese and Thai.

And if you are telling me that the takeaways you mention in Sheffield are better than these then I will not just buy food from them, I'll buy shares in them.

By the way, I am from Sheffield. I have no affinity with Manchester whatsoever - but, credit where credit's due eh?

ha ha you'd be surprised! either you havent been to university or you went a long long time ago. anyway, sheffield does have a china town, although it is unofficial and doesnt have an arch. and why are you going on about manchester? this is called "sheffield forum" for a reason, and this thread is called "best chinese in sheffield" isn't it? as far as chinese places in SHEFFIELD go, there is a wealth to choose from, and id be very surprised if you have tried them all. stop being so anti-sheff and support our city's entrepreneurs!

Well I know what I'm having for tea tonight! Rainbow at Handsworth here I come... (aww it's 16 hours til teatime :()

Happiness, London Road

Well I know what I'm having for tea tonight! Rainbow at Handsworth here I come... (aww it's 16 hours til teatime :()

Mmmm... just finished my tea! :D:thumbsup: (looks for big fat smilie rubbing it's tummy!)

I'm Chinese and we always go to Wong Ting or Zing Vaa with the family or Noodle Inn on London Road for cheaper eats (plus their portions are huge). I always figure the best places will have more Chinese people in... if that makes sense

For those people that recommend CANTON KING is either sick or have problems with their taste buds. Their portion is big, but crap. they are also the take away that visited by health and environmental people due to lack of hygiene.....

THERE IS NO ANY NICE RESTAURANT IN SHEFFIELD. Manchester's YANG SING is good or MCCHINA IN SUTTON is great.

went to Dim Sum this lunch time I'd forgotten how nice it is and what good value. I rarely check the bill but today I noticed, half a dozen portions off the dim sum menu a pot of tea £23.00 for the two of us.
The place was full, I was the only customer with round eyes.

So Dim Sum on London Road is no good in your opinion?

i never say taht DIM SUM is good, but, to me, it is just moderate. the menus of DIM SUM are more to western style, which is not that authentic of typical chinese.

Have you tried Hui Wei on Glossop Road? Its in a league of its own

so... in summary... the best chinese in sheffield is the one that's nearest? ;)

If you go to Dim Sum again, ask for the chinese menu, you will have to ask Tina to translate for you.

The Zing Vaa is quiet, civilised, with efficient and discreet service and consistently good food. I really, really hope that it will survive the Moor redevelopment.

I like the New Zing Vaa takeaway on Ecclesall Road. They have some Thai food on the menu too. Feel really hungry after reading this thread, and could just eat a chinese takeaway!

Jumbos In The Town Center

You have got to be kidding me. Dim Sum's menu is Westernised? :roll:

I think people need to distinguish the type of chinese food that they are after, and the type of establishment that they want to dine in, or order from.

To me, there are 3 categories:
1) take-away food, which have typically very British-adapted recipes from ye olde
2) dim sum + chinese restaurant with SE Asian cuisine. i.e. mainly Canton-based cuisines with a few other region thrown in.
3) specific regional chinese cuisine restaurant
e.g. recent bloom of Sichuan places like the "Red Chilli" restaurant in Leeds and Manchester which the Taiwanese students will court, and some Mandarin students will find expensive, but will grudgingly pay for cos it reminds them of their food back home.

Dim Sum is a good 2). Their dishes originate from Canton with some other variation of other regional dishes thrown in. Many places in Manchester will also be the same too. "Glamourous" also have one or two very niche dishes which is of very niche ethic origin. Some people may not actually know this, but I do know this, cos my grandmother used to make them, and she told me of the origin of it.

Yang Sing has a very very good reputation once, but then gain, it is courting more of the Western taste, than the chinese taste, and really regional cuisines. That is also why they are losing business too. Their dim sums should be rivalling Glamourous or even Tai Pan. If you notice, many dim sum chefs jump here and there around different restaurants in Manchester any way. You can always tell this is the case just by tasting the food in the restaurant, if you order a typical har gow (prawn dumpling), you know where the culinary skill is at. :hihi: Well, that's what one of my oldie in my family tells me.

A lot of chinese restaurant in the UK will follow the style in HK, maybe mainly because many owners are either descendents or migrants from such area, or that the chinese diners are from such areas because HK used to be a British Commonwealth country. If you go abroad to somewhere in the US, the chinese cuisine may be based on a heavier chilli style, because of the origin of the owners.

Personally speaking, I think Dim Sum is a good place to eat, but the service is indeed bad. Noodle Inn is a very cheap and cheerful place for many chinese families to go to. That is maybe why you see so many chinese familis there on certain days. It is indeed very economical, but it isn't one of the top chinese restaurant with decent culinary skill, let's say.

Wong Ting could've been a contender of the likes of the typical restaurant in Manchester, but their chef needs to pull up their game. I don't think he understands the local taste. You can tell he isn't from the UK. Or maybe he's trying to hard. I find odd ingredients in the most typical of dishes which I don't think should be in there. A lot of the dim sums in the UK came from very fresh basic ingredients without much in it. I found something like bamboo shoots in a prawn dumplings. Why? I understand that the practice may be so in HK, and other countries, but it's an odd one.

Yang Sing used to do great dim sums... but a lot of the chinese crowd in Manchester now don't go there at all. You lose the crowd either by raising your prices, or that your standard has dropped. I remember talking to one or two old chefs who used to work in the industry that either people don't care about the standards any more, or that peple are too keen to court the changes too quickly without knowing the basic of the skills.

It's a shame. From another generation on, there'll be nobody to pass the culinary skills on. I still think that dim sum skills is hard to learn, and that dim sums up North still beats London's Chinatown. London's Chinatown is a joke, and it is a touristy place. Even though it used to have a lot of chinese people going there for its food. Most have left, and decent chefs have gone elsewhere where their skills are more appreciated.

What I class as a decent restaurant and reflect the kind of chinese food that I was brougt up with? I'd recommend Ocean Treasure in Oldham. Which is part of the Chi Yip group, and you can still see the seafood swimming before you. That is a typical seafood restaurant which you get in HK's coastal areas. http://www.chiyip.co.uk/otweb/OThome.htm It's a naff website, and the restaurant is in an obscure place, but it has a fantastic chef. The food is also cooked very fresh too.

Wow Bago
I had to read it twice, I have a short attention span.
I have the impression that the chinese as a nation have eaten out at restaurants for much longer than the british. We started, especially in the north, in the sixties. I would guess that in 1960 there were less than 10 restaurants in Sheffield, probably 5 or 6 being Chinese.
When you talk about chinese food you were brought up with, do you mean at home (England or HK) or eating out.

Rumour has it that a chinese paedofile has opened a restaurant on west street. Pokum Young they call it.

Sorry...

Well, I do come from a family of restauranteurs as well. I think that the chinese culture is a lot about food. I think that chinese tend to live to eat. (Okay, it's a tad extreme in China... ) I'm trying to think whether the chinese do eat out a lot in general. Can't say I wholeheartedly agree with you, but when I think whether I go out and eat a lot, I have done. :( It's actually a travesty for me, because in HK, people pride themselves to have a homecooked meal! >.< ! A decent restaurant in HK will offer something of a high quality cuisince, because your average housewife can cook so well. Over here in the UK, I think the chinese dine out more for the social aspect to see another chinese face or frend or something like that.

When I was talking about chinese food that I was brought up with, I was talking both of the type of food that only my family cooks, and also the kind that I find in restaurants only. As I grew older, I learnt that there is a huge variation in style by region. You kind of pick up this as you go along. There are certain food that I class as restaurant dishes, and some which are considered as homecooked styles. I guess I go by the convention that is used in HK too.

A lot of the cuisines in the UK is not of a chinese culinary creme de la creme kind. They are average type of recipes, with some modification and careful detailing. What I will give credit to Yang Sing is that it did once used to be a bit of a cutting edge kind of restaurant, but in recent years, I don't think it has still got the same title.

I do think that Manchester is still a better place for chinese food than the likes of London though.

So do I, we go there a lot, I consider the Zing Vaa the best in Sheffield

for take aways red lion on london road godd all round, beighton wok good food and service.
for restaurant i say Zing Vaa on the moor well nice

the other day I posted somewhere a comment that if you don't have something good to say about a restaurant then don't say anything, In that vein I've got nothing to say about Jumbo.

Well done for the merge HappyHippy

As I said

Chinese takeaways open, close and change ownership all the time so new threads are always good. Also lets a takeaway be recomended for some good service they have done recently which isnt mentioned in an older thread.

Hope your ego got something from closing the thread and not reading it first!

Hi

Does anyone know if Marble arch the Chinese karaoke just off the moor is still open and what their number or email is?
The contact details on their website don't work and i really want to book my 21st there and its in 3 days!!!

Help!

I have used both Holin Royal and Wok's-Up and loved the food from both.

The ribs are full with meat instead of (what most places give you) fat. The chicken is absolutely wonderful and as my husband says the beef is spot on!
I was very dispapointed when I found out Wok's-Up was closed and very reluctant to go anywhere else as my standards are set! Now, you tell me your up and running again! :love: You have just made my day and I can garuntee you I will be placing an order tonight!!!
In all the years I have been eating chinese food I have never met anyone who is a better Chef than L3gan! :thumbsup: I even thought of having you cook for my wedding but unfortunatly you weren't available! :mad:

I'll speak to you later when I'm placing my order! I hope you have seaweed on the menu still!!!

Wokmania on West St.

Just for future reference you should know:
Hui Wei - by Simply Chinese (it's the same place) ;)

Wokmania on West Street is really good, cheap and chearlful, though not really chinese, more oriental

Oh sorry, you don't mention on this post that you work there, funny that!!:suspect:


Ha ha! Just read his other posts where he's trying to recruit someone. I could never plug Wokmania, even if I worked there!

the best Chinese in sheffield is:
Takeaway = New Loon Fung on Birley Moor Crescent.
Restaurant = Flaming dragon in Valley-centertainment as they have an all you can eat buffet plus a teppanyaki bar and all fresh and delicious!

In Woodseats it has to be Canton Wok. 10% discount if you collect it. They even know us when we call up every Friday night now!! and normally can figure out half our order. Might try out some of the other areas!!

Me and family like the Golden Dragon (I think its called) on the junction of London Road and Abbeydale Road. They are advertising a great lunchtime meal deal, but we haven't tried that yet. Takeaways are excellent and huge also. There is also a resturant which is really nice food but a little basic on the decor though always welcoming and a great atmosphere. Wok mania is good too but my kids struggle to find stuff they enjoy - being 4 and 6 they can be a little picky though they both enjoyed the salt and pepper pork, it was quite spicy too, my partner struggled.

The One on Chesterfield Road, opposite the pool place... i dunno what its called but YUM!!!

The best chinese restaurant in Sheffield has to be Noodle Inn on London Road. Fantastic , authentic food, great value and fantastic friendly staff. Highly recomended..!

Right then, somethings just needs to be clarified, I've been to MOST chinese places in Sheffield.

For food in a restaurant, its ZING VAA in the Moor but the place is a little dark and miserable. Go on a sunday where they go Dim summs going. Second choice for food would be Dim Sums on london Rd.

For takeaways around city centre, WAI HONG is a very good all rounder for portions, price and quality. Its on the main stretch where the Post office is.

There's the one in Crosspool v near a GT news, that's good as well but its out of the way a lil bit for most

The best chinese restaurant in Sheffield has to be Noodle Inn on London Road. Fantastic , authentic food, great value and fantastic friendly staff. Highly recomended..!

Yes Noodle Inn is highly rated and I doubt anyone will give it anymajor negative feedback.

My only annoyance at the place is that you can't chill out there as staff is always on ya back trying to turf pple out as soon as you get your food

Top Chef in Bradway. Best I've tasted anywhere and great service. Also heard from a supplier that the kitchens are spotless, always nice to know!

The phoenix on staniforth rd ( takeaway) is extremely nice, we have ordered a fair few times in the past few months and never been dissapointed, good portion sizes, fair prices, prompt delivery time, great customer service when ordering, and their food is brill nice tasting. Overall 10/10 from me:) i know you have been discussing restaurants but i thought i would mention it as it is really great:)

Hing lung Abbeydale road,cheap & big portions.Do a "search" aswell;)

seriously amazing food, couldnt agree more, my mum has been using tha chinese since she bought our house over 25 years ago! staff are friendly, and its great value

best chinese ever, wont go anywhere else :)

Dim Sum - very good Cantonese style rich food and deserts (London road)

China Red - Authentic Sichuan super spicy food (just off the Moor)

TinTin - Good selection of northern style dishes, not too pricey, try their Chinese kebab skewers! (London road)

Noodle inn is really nice.
they do meals that fit around oriental people and english people.
its a relaxing environment and informal.. so no need to posh up

Canton Orchard at Fulwood, top nosh!!

definatly zing var at the bottom of the moor

Hi All,

am looking for a recommendation please!

I live just off the Wicker - where is a good chinese to order takeaway from?

In particular we tend to order a selection of hot starters (for ease often whatever the set mixed starter is) and crispy duck.

Tried the Red Lion on eccy road and was dissapointed.

Thanks!

Noodle Inn in London Road, not expensive, quite nice : )

I went to noodle inn recently and we were in there for two hours!! the worst service ive ever had in my life. It took around 30 mins to get some soup out to us. Then another 30 mins for my partners food to come out then I had to wait another 30 minutes after that for my food to come out?? didnt get it. Wont go back although food was quite nice.. abit bland but the portions were huge, only redeeming factor. I prefer vietnamese noodle bar for eating out and wild rice for a takeout.

For me, Noodle Inn is def the best place!! I go there often and food is always of generous portions and of top notch. I've never had too wait too long for food at all. In fact, I think it comes too soon sometimes! Cheap as chips as well and u get free desert! But yeh, if u r wanting to spend a gud few hrs there, then it prob wont be the place to go. But it is a business at the end of the day and at a price of £6.50 for a main dish (trust me, 1 main dish is all u need!), u can't really complain.

Takeaways would be Wai Hong on London Rd and Wok This Way (fantastic name!) in Ranmoor!

The only really poor place I've been to is Canton Orchard. The food was off and is in need of re-decorating. The patio outside is really scenic and beautiful tho.. ideal for summer.

Pha68 for eating out, Wild rice for eating in

Hui Wei on corner of Glossop Road / West Street, failing that, Noodle Inn on London Road!

Dim Sum - very good Cantonese style rich food and deserts (London road)

China Red - Authentic Sichuan super spicy food (just off the Moor)

TinTin - Good selection of northern style dishes, not too pricey, try their Chinese kebab skewers! (London road)

I went to Dim Sum - lovely food but the service was awful but still asked if I wanted to give something for the service.

A Chinese friend of mine tells me that an upstairs restaurant on Matilda Street is good.

sun kong on woodseats. Mmmmm yummy. :)

also golden dragon in town. :)

Zing Vaa (Next to GT News) on the Moor, but the staff there make the visit unworthy =/

Anyone recommend a good restaurant near handsworth, going out Saturday night but was really disappointed by Flaming Dragon last time we went

I would agree with Zing Vaa, top deals at lunch. Also Hui Wei on West Street. Noodle Inn has been recommended. I also rate Pho 68 but that aint really chinese!
