Yan's Restaurant — Restaurant in Alnwick

This was a regular go-to place for me, so-much-so that my friend used to joke about my obsession with Yans. Tonight that changed. I always get the same thing, Cantonese pork and a portion of soft noodles, which comes to around £8.70, which is the correct price on the menu.

The interior decor was also disappointing too. From the previous reviews we were expecting better things. All in all a very below average experience. We travelled over from Seahouses and wasted time and fuel. We will order a takeaway from the local...
