This is our go to place for dim sum in Leeds. We usually go on a Sunday when it's packed with large groups of Chinese families and other nationalities. The dim sum menu has English translations for the many different types of snacks and the staff are very helpful to first timers to the Cantonese tradition of "yam cha". Our firm favourites are the delicious light fluffy Char Sui Baos with their yummy BBQ pork fillings and we also usually order a large dish of crispy stir fried egg noodles with chicken, green peppers & black bean sauce to share with the dim sum. In addition to the restaurant there's the large Chinese Sing Kee supermarket and Sing Sing bakery in the same complex. The only slight downside is that there's limited parking in the carpark, however, there is street parking nearby on the adjoining roads.
We had dim sum on a Thursday afternoon and were surprised to find the place already packed so early. We ordered nine different dim sum dishes, and overall the quality was quite good. We agreed that the best dish was the prawn dumplings — the skin was very thin and wrapped around a large, juicy prawn. The pork and prawn dumplings were also very good, as was the steamed manfold in black pepper sauce. The Shanghai meat bun was a bit of a letdown, though, as it lacked the expected soup inside. On the other hand, the chicken and mushroom rice was a pleasant surprise — a generous portion and very tasty. The prices were very reasonable, with each dim sum dish costing around £5. We’ll definitely return on our next visit to Leeds.
A hidden gem in Leeds! This is a Guangdong / Hong Kong style dim sum restaurant (served until 5:15pm) and there are two other menus which are served all day. One is a traditional Chinese food menu featuring dishes from all over China, including Sichuan cuisine and Beijing roast duck. The other menu consists of Chinese-style dishes adapted to the western palate. On Monday - Friday after 5:30pm you can get 20% off your bill as long as you opt to pay the service charge (10%). All of the food we ordered was delicious, fresh, good quality ingredients, generous portions and reasonable prices. Highly recommended!
This Chinese restaurant has an antique decor, the food is delicious, the staff are very service-oriented, and there is a wide variety of dim sum at very reasonable prices, making it a great choice for friends or family gatherings. The Chinese supermarket next door and the parking lot are also very satisfying.
Excellent food and dim sums, well priced, we had the beef flat noodles, siu mai, dumplings etc all tasted very good. Definitely worth a visit
