Chung Ying in Birmingham

Asked for Thai king prawn and got Chinese curry sauce with prawns just because you added coconut milk doesn't make it a Thai Curry!

We visited for dinner today for our wedding anniversary and it was a really nice experienceWe would specially love to say thank you to Raymond our lovely server who was smiling all throughout, made us feel very comfortable and recommended great dishes. He really made our day and we were very happy with the service and food.The portion sizes are good and value for money.

We had a fantastic dim sum lunch here today. After a short wait for a table, we were taken to a nice corner table. The order was taken by a really attentive and helpful staff, who when asked about food allergies took the trouble of finding out if the items contain the allergens we mentioned.The food was simply excellent - each item was really tasty. We had a wide range of steamed and fried items, with some main dishes, and genuinely enjoyed every single one of them. The servers were prompt, courteous and very helpfulA very different experience from the neighbouring restaurant where we were asked to leave when we enquired about food allergies - the reason why we ended up in Chung Ying, but that's another story and another review - do look up.Anyway, had a brilliant dim sum lunch - look forward to visiting them again soon.

I have never been disappointed with the food from Chung Ying and it is a regular venue for me and my family. There is an extensive menu with loads of really unusual dishes worth trying. I During lockdown, we used the take-away service and are now spoilt because it's in a different league to our former local take away.We visited 3 weeks ago with some foodie friends who were up to Birmingham for the weekend - they were blown away by the variety, presentation, taste and quality of the food.A veggie friend initially didn't want to eat anything as she said that Chinese restaurants aren't traditionally great - but when she saw the pages of vegetarian and vegan options - she soon changed her mind!I'm an avid meat eater but the aubergine dishes are divine.I'll be back soon.

Chung Ying has been the culinary centre-piece of Birmingham's China Town for as long as I can remember. It look's awesome from the high street. Pundits rate it as one of Birmingham City Centre's best restaurants. Is it any good then?If there is hype, I have high expectations. When I was seated in the outdoor portion of the restaurant I began reading the menu. This consisted of 4 sheets of A4 paper with a long list of popular British Chinese menu options. I felt underwhelmed.Service was at a gentle pace, humble.Food was served piping hot, cutlery was arranged in the classic British Chinese way. If you do want drama added to your experience I would recommend ordering a sizzler dish. The quality of the food was excellent. The presentation was ok. Portions were good and value was excellent.Chung Ying is traditional and social. For me, it was less about the food and more about the old fashioned experience. It made me reminisce about the "good ol' days" enjoying Cantonese food with family,

The best Chinese Restaurant anywhere, ever. If you visit Birmingham you must eat here. The dim sum is Michelin quality and the service is fast and efficient. Main dishes are always tasty and portion sizes are generous. I have been visiting Chung Ying (and previously Chung Ying Gardens) for over 30 years, never had a disappointing meal or negative experience. A real gem in the centre of China Town, and a must try for Asian food enthusiasts.

Nice restaurant to enjoy some delicious traditional Chinese Dim Sum and other main dishes. We came on a Saturday for a quick lunch, service was very prompt, food arrived hot, staff was very friendly.Only disappointment this visit, was some of the food wasn't as good as before. But we still enjoy coming and would recommend coming for some tasty food.

The venue is a little dated, maybe tired in places but the food was great and the staff were both efficient and pleasantThe portions are very generous, our eyes were definitely too big for our bellies. Several of the main courses ( I'm looking at you lemon chicken) could easily be described as sharersReasonable prices top off a satisfying experienceThe menu is vast, so I'll certainly be coming back to try more

Absolutely delicious, best meal we've had in a while. We had a selection of the vegetarian and vegan dishes and enjoyed every single one. The mock duck pancakes and the spicy vegetarian dumplings were a highlight. We'll definitely be back ❤

A Chinese restaurant that serves a lot of varied dishes, and it also has a dim sum menu. I came here for a Saturday lunch and while it was busy, they still had some seating available. We booked in advance, but they didn't seem to have our reservation, but fortunately were still able to seat us.Service, while quick, was a little abrupt, but you can forgive them for the price we paid as 7 dim sum dishes only cost around £35, including tea for 2 people.They serve most of the dim sum dishes you would expect. While they are unlikely to be the best dim sum you can try, I can't think of another dim sum restaurant in Birmingham that has the choice they offer.So if you're craving dim sum, it might just tide you over and do the trick for you. Just don't expect to be blown away.
