View Full Version : Best chinese for set meals in sheffield? mikeys_1989 01-10-2008, 16:32 i wanna go for my 19th bur Zing Vaa was crap the last time we went any recommendations? x blossom2 01-10-2008, 16:49 what about wok mania on west street, or jumbo ( near tj hughs) i have heard both are nice. mikeys_1989 01-10-2008, 17:00 i dont want help yourself stuff cos its always rank i HATE wokmania and the one at ponds forge tram stop they are rubbish is candytown still going? i remember that one being ok Lozzybee 01-10-2008, 17:07 I went to a place on London Road Called Noodle Inn. Its a quiet very small place n Meals are big but only about £5 a course I hope that helps. Not sure about there set meals to be honest but meals in there own are cheap the snowman 01-10-2008, 18:24 I'd reccomend Noodle Inn too but for a party I'd say Wong Ting on Matilda Street (more space and large tables for parties). PuressenceUK 01-10-2008, 21:12 what about wok mania on west street, or jumbo ( near tj hughs) i have heard both are nice. You heard wrong. The Canton Orchard in Fulwood used to be good but haven't been in ages. WhiteHawk 01-10-2008, 21:14 Simply Chinese @ The Old Cart & Horses, High Green. Absolutely magnificent. Theres also a Simply Chinese on West Street but I'm not sure where, I think its next to The Swim Inn...... Theres one at Dronfield aswell. catbot 01-10-2008, 21:48 I'd reccomend Noodle Inn too but for a party I'd say Wong Ting on Matilda Street (more space and large tables for parties). +1 :thumbsup: Cardboard 02-10-2008, 16:08 Candy Town is awesome for set meals....Mmmm mmmmmmm mikeys_1989 02-10-2008, 16:09 finally someone who agrees sod bloody noodle bars i wanna go for a family meal -_- gosh is candytown the best though? myriadmike 02-10-2008, 16:20 That one opposite Candytown on London Road is amazing. So is Dim Sum a bit further up. Noodle Inn is my fave though, may have to go this Sunday actually, massive belly-busting meals, the crispy pork with egg fried rice is my fave for sure. chinaski 02-10-2008, 17:17 Wong Ting is better than candy town. But anyway, why would your family want to sit with an arrogant obnoxious teenage git like you? But if they do, go to wong ting. ;) mikeys_1989 02-10-2008, 17:25 im not arrogant or obnoxious i just wanted some info on set meals in chinese restaurants not noodle bar things v_v didnt mean to come across like that -_- jellybellybean 02-10-2008, 17:48 Candy Town is delicious! We always go there as a family and order set meals! I wouldn't go anywhere else! the snowman 02-10-2008, 17:51 They don't just do noodles they do all sorts at Noodle Inn (http://www.noodleinn.co.uk/), see the menu. But space is limited as I said. Wong Ting is the best for a party as it's so large and the food is great. (My partner used to work there too so know it's clean in the kitchens or we wouldn't go) chinaski 02-10-2008, 18:13 im not arrogant or obnoxious i just wanted some info on set meals in chinese restaurants not noodle bar things v_v didnt mean to come across like that -_- Only joking Mikeys! I go to Noodle Inn most weeks the food is that good, but it's not a place you'd go for a special family meal. I'd really plump for Wong Tings (used to be Golden Dragon) and if you want something a bit more different (duck tongues) ask for the traditional Chinese menu. mikeys_1989 02-10-2008, 18:15 OOOOOH im always up for traditional weird stuff ;o cheers me thinks wong ting it may have to be pinklady 02-10-2008, 18:16 Candy town, i havent found a resturant to match it yet ......... yummy yum yum the snowman 02-10-2008, 18:31 Just an interesting note I'd like to make. I have always loved Chinese food but after meeting my partner who is Malaysian I no longer eat the set meals I used to (chop suey, chow mein, spare rib). She pointed out the different tastes most English have to the Malaysians. When we judge a resturant we look for different dishes on the menu to the bog standard ones and also the Chinese / English ratio eating there. Noodle Inn and Wong Ting using only have 1 or 2 tables, if any, which have no Chinese there. So when selecting the best Chinese in Sheffield (it's been done on here many times) taste comes into it. So if your wanting a typical English persons Chinese meal some resturants are best but if you like to be more exotic (try chicken feet for example) others are the best and there is no one true best because of this. When we eat out with her Malaysian friends everyone orders a dish and we all just tuck in and share them out. So I always order nothing so I'm trying new stuff. If I ordered I'd order something I know. Tried so many dishes now and can't belive some of the stuff you can get. chinaski 02-10-2008, 19:14 Absolutely agree snowman. Had beef tripe last time i was in wong tings and it was delicious - kind of. Can't get to grips with chicken feet though. Had them twice now and i still can't figure out wether you're meant to eat the things or suck the cartlage off them. Any chance I could borrow your missus for the night? the snowman 02-10-2008, 19:23 Absolutely agree snowman. Had beef tripe last time i was in wong tings and it was delicious - kind of. Can't get to grips with chicken feet though. Had them twice now and i still can't figure out wether you're meant to eat the things or suck the cartlage off them. Any chance I could borrow your missus for the night? I tried Chicken feet at home 1st and with no sauce so hated them. But then had them in Tai Wu in Manchester and really liked them. All the food I've had there tastes better than any resturant in Sheff (IMO lol), but only had Dim Sum there. I eat it in Wong Ting but it's not as engoyable. The Beef Tripe is good in Wong Ting. Oh, you bite some off the feet and mix it around in your mouth and then spit out just the bones, the rest is all eaten. So who are you? Born here, moved here, chinese origin? Oh and m or f given the intro gag lol chinaski 02-10-2008, 19:33 I was born here. And I'm male, unless I post on the parenting section and suddenly I seem to become female. My OH is from Mauritius, but they don't really do offal. I'm just a huge fan of offal, and discovering the Chinese/ oriental love of it it's like discovering it all again. (Eating raw tripe or chitterlings with malt vinegar is ok for a while, but after 30 years of it you kind of start yearning for something a little more. And maybe you start to wonder wether it's actually a little safer COOKING it first). And I love your description of eating chicken feet. Did you get that off the back of a listerine bottle? Will have to try again now . . .regards the snowman 02-10-2008, 19:48 OK your male, post edited lol. I like Offal too but it can make me runny in some resturants. I like your "Chinese / Oriental" slash. I used the word Chinese instead of Oriental as that's how most people refer to the oriental. But agree it's a generalisation. Intrestingly again, crispy duck is very popular with the typical english but is popular with the Chinese too, but not so much with other oriental countries. |
