This restaurant has been around for ages, even earning accolades such as Gordon Ramsey's Best Chinese Eatery. However, management has apparently changed and the owners fell on hard times recently. You can't really tell the restaurant has had problems, however. The food was excellent when we went and the service was outstanding. We ordered the tasting menu, as we'd never been to Yu & You before and wanted to try a bit of everything. Prices are a bit high for the area, so maybe save this place for a date night. There is a full bar and plenty of dishes to choose from. I think our favorite dish was the lobster, but honestly everything was lovely. We had a lot of extra food as well, so it was nice to take our leftovers to-go for a cold Chinese food breakfast in the morning ;) Definitely recommend this location for those in the area. The food is high-quality and it's a fun place to celebrate or spend time with friends and loved ones!

We came along to try the place as it had won Gordon Ramsay's Chinese Restaurant of the year 2010…read more The restaurant was quite busy, mainly because of a large party group. The overall impression is that it is over-staffed by young inexperienced staff. As a consequence basic service is very good, but if you ask a question, they have to go and get an elder to sort it out. The menu was rather uninformative: there are only three pork main dishes for example but only one gets a description Honey Roasted Char Sui Pork served with fresh greens. We ordered Thai Style Crispy Pork (no further description). What we got was something that looked remarkably like sweet and sour pork with extra chilli. Four of us had a selection of appetisers (Crispy Wan Ton, Seaweed, Sesame Prawn Toast, Salt & Pepper Ribs); Crispy Duck with 11 pancakes (doesn't divide by 4); Thai Style Crispy Pork, Fillet Steak Cantonese Style, Stir Fried Chicken with Black Bean sauce, Egg Fried Rice and Soft Noodles. The dishes were all tasty, but some of the vegetables were perhaps a little under-cooked: almost raw. Again the service was good: they allowed us to change Steamed Sea Bass for Thai Style Crispy Pork, and allowed us to change the Egg Fried Rice to a mixture of rice and Soft Noodles. The food was good, not the best Chinese I've ever had, but definitely amongst the best: my problem is the cost. I don't know if it has gone up since winning the Restaurant of the Year accolade, but it is certainly very dear now. The winning menu is available which includes a Wagyu (a.k.a. Kobe) beef dish and costs £80 per head. We chose something more modest: the above banquet for four people, a bottle of water and a relatively modest bottle of wine came to a substantial £170+ bill. Individual dishes don't seem too dear, but it all seems to add up rather alarmingly. The restaurant has a slight night-club feel with a large bar area and strange choice of background music and a good sized car park. Overall: a good meal, copious inexperienced staff, expensive bill. If it was better value it would be 4*, as it is three will have to do.

Last time I went through it was for a birthday and we ate at the New Welcome Restaurant, this is a Chinese and a take away also. I'm really keen on Chinese food so I picked the restaurant. It's not an overly big building but it seats enough people and always seems busy. They offer some decent dishes and ever give you 5% off your meal if you spend over £30, which most people will if you are in a group. The food was great and the staffs was nice, I found it a little expensive but I guess they don't have the same competition as Manchester so they can charge that little extra

The staff were friendly although they tended to hover over you or stand in the side watching you eat which I found a little off putting. The menu was large with lots of choices. I decided to got back to the 80's with the classic lineup of chicken and sweet corn soup, ribs and king prawn with fried rice. The meal was tasty although the vegetables in my main dish were a bit cold hence the 4 stars. With a beer and a Bailys the meal came to £30 which is not too bad for the amount of food I had. Would come back again.

We went with Happy House as it was the highest rated on justeat.com (yeah, I cheated on yelp. Sometimes these things just kinda happen. I'm sorry. I'll try harder in the future.) and we were not disappointed. With Manchu Wok in Manchester being a staple, I was keen to find a replacement. The portion sizes were great- we shared 2 soups, 2 starters and 2 mains between 3- and actually only ate 1 of the mains between the three of us as the starters had been so generous. The hot and sour soup we got was good- not too salty (often a problem) and it had loads of tasty morsels floating about. The crabmeat and sweet corn soup had large chunks of crabmeat in it. The prawn toast was far better than Manchu Wok- nearly at Fusion standard. It had a thick layer of prawn-y goodness and wasn't too greasy. And we got 5 pieces, which is pretty decent. The salt and pepper ribs were well tasty. We got more than 10- some big, some small- all full of flavour despite being not that spicy. Barring one or two they were really meaty. Came with peppers, onions and chillies. We shared a new special chow mein- it came in a large tub and one portion easily filled the three of us after all those starters and we shared the second one for lunch between the three of us again and will all e full until dinner. It comes with good, fresh noodles, loads of veg and loads of meat- large bits of chicken, beef and amazing prawns- by far the highlight of the meal. Seriously those prawns! They were really well cooked- not at all hard or chewy- just really tender and soft. Sadly only two or three prawns in the dish but if you were having this to yourself or between two/ three that's still a prawn each! Super tasty. Price was pretty good and delivery was quick- plus they gave us free prawn crackers. Everyone loves a freebee! Going to have to explore the other takeaway joints but I have a feeling we'll be returning to Happy House.
