Chung Ying in Manchester

The nicest Chinese food I have had in years ⭐️ I would highly recommend ⭐️

Food is excellent. I had the salt n pepper spare ribs as a starter and i highly recommend them. Later came the sweet n sour king prawns and that dish was first class.

Our first visit, 26.08.2020, will definitely not be our last to this little jem that hides itself away in a group of shops at the side of a busy road.Friendly, attentive, staff welcome you as you enter a nicely decorated restaurant with a pleasant layout comprising alcoves, a secluded area and the main dining area.Service is extremely efficient, with none of the clock watching so prevalent in other restaurants, even in quiet periods. (maybe some waiters and waitresses wrongly believe that keeping customers waiting suggests a higher level of quality to their service. Having been a waiter in some of the UK's top restaurants I can assure them they are mistaken, and the Golden Kitchen can teach them how service should be performed.)The food is fresh, hot, and delicious, served by staff who want you to enjoy your meal and presumably prepared by kitchen staff who share that desire. Presentation is adequate and without pretense.Unfortunately this extends to the presentation of the bill, with no attempts to offer hand towels, mints or fortune cookies but the cost of the meal reflects this fact.Our meal for two, ignoring the current eat out to help out discount, cost far less than the same menu at two of our favourite chinese restaurants which only partially explains why we will be making the short trip to the Golden Kitchen a regular occurrence from now on.For some reason we recieved egg fried rice with our main course instead of boiled rice but that didn't harm our meal at all.The beer list could be improved, as could the choice of wines, but that's not why people got to restaurants, that's what pubs are for.---------‐‐---------------------------------------------------------UPDATE December 2021.The service at this 'local chinese' restaurant has somehow managed to improve beyond the high standards the staff and owners set themselves when we first visited over a year ago.Not only are the staff willing to change menu items, but actually encourage clients to mix dished and sauces to the clients preference.The Golden Kitchen is a true gem and its good to see the client base supporting the restaurant in the 'covid' period which has forced the closure of so many places.I am surprised that there aren't as many locals eating here as one would expect and so far we have never had to wait for a table (although we tend to book in advance we also drop in without booking).If you're in the area and fancy a relatively inexpensive chinese then this would be my recommendation.there are other restaurants within a 15 to 20 min drive (this is technically suburbia but given the amount of traffic it might as well be the city centre!) but non of them can offer the cuisine, service and value for money that this charming little restaurant gives to all of its customers.

Ordered for take away. Food was superb. Definately restaurant quality. Portion size was good, Loved every mouthful and will be back again soon.

Really impressed with everything from Golden Kitchen. Arrived on time and piping hot/still crispy. Based upon another review, we ordered the Aromatic Crispy Duck and it's one of the best I've ever had from a takeaway. My veggie spring rolls were incredibly tasty and not a hint of grease on the crispy pastry. The ribs were full of flavour and the Beef and Black Bean was really balanced and tasty (black bean can often be overpowering), with nicely tender beef. Both fried rice dishes were also top notch. This will now be our regular Chinese takeaway!

Definitely the best Chinese in the area. We dined in and it's a lovely restaurant inside with great service. We had the mixed starter, along with salt and pepper ribs and spring rolls, and all were delicious. I love salt and pepper and the flavour and texture here was one of the best.Crispy duck followed and it was excellent, well presented and cooked perfectly. We had crispy chilli beef and sweet and sour chicken to follow. The beef was a bit too crispy for my taste, but the flavour was great. The sweet and sour was nicely balanced and very tasty. Our eyeballs we're bigger than our stomachs though and we had to take a few bits home with us.Overall very tasty food, will definitely come again.

This was our first order from this Restaurant. We ordered the combination starters, fish with ginger and spring onion and Cantonese fillet steak, with egg fried rice.The food was exceptional, definitely restaurant quality food. We will definitely be back. A little more expensive than our usual take away, but this was reflected in the quality of the food. Worth every penny.

Nice food 😋 We got delivered buy used the website which doesn't give you an ETA.
