Chinatown — Restaurant in Sheffield

Went here with one British friend and two Hong Konger friends, as they have recommended it.

And they didn't disappoint. The service was second to none; prompt without being overbearing, friendly and welcoming.

We were there at 630pm on a mid week evening and the place was already busy but not packed and the atmosphere was lively yet enjoyable - the place had a nice buzz about it as we entered.

As for the food, we decided to order food we would usually get from a Chinese restaurant, and then compare, so our Hong Kong friends got the chance to introduce us to some absolutely delicious authentic Chinese dishes.

All the food arrived together which is what we asked for and it was very prompt and perfectly cooked. We had a table with a glass spinner on so we were easily able to pass dishes around and try bits of each of the dishes.

It made for a brilliantly enjoyable evening and before we knew it it was 11pm and time for us to be off.

Highly recommend this place; I'd walked past a few times but never been in as it appeared very authentic, but I need not have worried, as I said earlier the staff were incredibly welcoming and the place had a great mix of nationalities dining there.

We each had a starter and main course, two of us had two pints of Cobra, another had a pint of Carling and the fourth a lot of Chinese tea. The bill came in a smidgen under £100. Excellent value for money.

Definitely...

!! DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU HAVE SPECIAL DIETARY REQUIREMENTS - THEY DO NOT CARE !!

Ordered a vegetarian dish from their vegetarian menu, they ended up serving a dish with seafood.

What’s worse was that the seafood was at the bottom of the bowl so we didn’t noticed it, until at the bottom when I took a bite of what I thought was fungus turned out to be prawns.

To make matters even more complicated, I have an allergy towards shellfish so the prawns have caused mild rashes to form. The taste, texture and the idea of having consumed seafood made me throw up the entire night and this morning.

The carelessness and negligence of the chefs in this restaurants is dire. Completely disregarded customers’ dietary needs, Did not even formally apologised and made a waiter apologise, whilst making the excuse “at least you’re not overly allergic, pretty fresh and chewy right?”

To disregard a vegetarian’s feelings and to further emphasise on the texture and flavour of the prawns disgusted me to the max.

!! WILL NEVER RETURN AND WILL NEVER...

I'm extremely disappointed with my recent visit to this Chinese restaurant. The service was appalling, and the food was subpar.

We ordered a meal that cost around £12.50, but the staff seemed to find it amusing. Instead of guiding us through the menu or offering suggestions, they laughed and walked away. When we tried to clarify with the manager, he spoke to the staff in a different language, making us feel uncomfortable.

The manager then informed us that they have a minimum order requirement of £15 per person, and if we didn't meet that, we'd have to take our food to go. The tone was condescending, and it felt like they were making fun of us.

We reluctantly took our food to go, and when we ate it at home, it was a letdown. The dish had no flavor, and it seemed like it was cooked with the intention of discouraging us from returning.

Overall, the service was unfriendly, and the food was unappetising. I would not recommend this...
