I've been coming to Chung Ying Garden for many years, as a family we used to eat here every Sunday…read morebut past few years it has only been few times a year. It is a popular place with the Chinese as they do serve a traditional menu as well as the westernised menu. I came here on Saturday for a wedding reception upstairs, the wedding couple had four tables booked with 11 courses! The car park is pay n display but was full so I parked at the Arcadian. The food was good, and it was the first time they served half lobster each person, normally its stir fry lobster with ginger n Spring onions. The others on my table were new to Chinese banquets so I explained alot to them as they expected 'proper' Chinese like the takeaway lol, they did enjoy it though but maybe not the shark fin soup. My friend said the shark fin filaments were not real. So I hope this was chosen by the couple and not the restaurant! In the other room, after we had finished, was a 18 year old party and another group were on a hen night! So it's a busy evening! Due to its location you can spot famous people like I have spoken to Alf Roberts from home and away and seem John barryman in here!!!

Just average. Went…read morerecently for the first time since I was a kid and felt like the whole place was a little tired. Big selection on the menu so best to go with a big group as I wanted to try more dishes. Food was good and portions large but the prices were higher than I'd expected. In reference to the previous reviews on an early Friday evening there was an almost 50:50 split of east Asian and caucasian diners.

This time I chose the Bouillabaise and a side of French fries. The Bouillabaise was delicious with just the right amount of liquid. The fish was flaky and the prawns were tender. Unfortunately I felt that the squid was a little overcooked. It was served with fresh bread. On this occasion I stuck to water but have no doubt that the wine would have been great. The staff were polite and efficient, and even partook in a joke or two. As far as chains go, this one gets a thumbs up.

If your in the mood for some good French fair and are close by give this place a shot, friendly staff, affordable prices, in the middle of Birmingham..... Cheers

Please don't be fooled by exteriors…read more.. As its name suggests, it's Star Anise's job to add a bit of spice to Mere Green's culinary landscape.This place presents a functional image, rather than going for a gimmicky take on Chinese food culture. Why? Well, it's because the food does all the talking. It does everything to a tea, the detail has brought me here again and again. I'm salivating as I write and think about the fried rice and the yuk sung is one of the tastiest dishes I've ever eaten. In fact, I could order a whole feast of sides from this Chinese and never feel like I'm missing out on something more special. Shhhh... the crunch of the lettuce leaves are calling me. Parking outside shouldn't be a problem, but make sure you look both ways as the sweet and sour smell may make you lose your concentration.

Fast, friendly service, great takeaway food..... but isn't that pretty much what you'd expect?…read moreWhat, if anything, gives Star Anise an extra boost? Firstly, despite the main road location, its setting within a commercial strip that useful 20 feet back from the traffic means parking outside the door is simple. It's not something that similar ventures in Sutton can boast. A clear view into the busy kitchen is also welcome, if only for the sense that in terms of freshness and hard work, it has nothing to hide. And while it may seem a small thing, there is ample, comfy seating while you wait, complete with a table to spread out the choice of national and local newspapers available to browse. Finally, staff make a point of checking your order before taking payment and again when you leave. It's a place to which you'll likely return, once given a go. Recommended.

It is what it says on the label. No more, no less. Noodle bar in name and noodle bar in nature…read more The restaurant is actually up the stairs and much bigger than the store frontage lets on. Clean. Staff zipping around. The menu has a range of classic Cantonese dishes; salt pepper squid, kung pow chicken and the like. Although the focus is around the ABC noodle dishes. Choose you meat (A) choose your sauce (B) choose your noodles (C). Wait a little less then 10 minutes. And BAM -- big bowl of noodles. The two of us walked out well fed for just under 15 quid. Decent. It's not the most exciting food in the world. But you didn't come here for that, you came for a quick bulk of meat, veg and noodles; and in that way this noodle bar excels.

It serves rather good dim sum and yumcha special dishes as well as having an all you can eat buffet too. There's also a steamboat "da bin lo" style buffet as well. Dim sum is ordered on the strip paper and the one is in Chinese but you can ask for an English version. The portions here too are suffering from credit crunch shrinkage. At times, you see more of the plate than the food but it's still good.

You enter this restaurant through a beautifully carved Chinese Pagoda and you're instantly transferred to the world of Chinese cookery. From tappenyaki to Yakitori, dim sum and barbeque grill this place has every imaginable Chinese dish. My friends and I have been using this place since it opened in 1998. The best way to enjoy Wing Wah's is to opt for the buffet. This way you can experience every dish and you can keep filling your plate until you can eat no more, go on I dare you.

Stopped in here for lunch while driving from London to Liverpool on a gloomy, rainy day because I…read morewas craving noodle soup and the reviews were incredible. It was set about 15-min from the A6 but wow was it worth the detour! They have a massive menu with foods from all over east Asia. We decided to share a starter of salt & pepper short ribs. The husb opted for Singapore noodles (his favorite) and I was going to order spicy combination noodle soup but was recommended to try the Spicy Tom Yum Noodle Soup the was on the specials board. I love tom yum so it was a no-brainer to take the recommendation. The short ribs were delicious. Perfectly fried so they were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and they were covered in a delectable salt, pepper, garlic, and onion topping. (chef's kiss) The Singapore Noodles were a healthy portion and OMG the meat was SO TENDER. Sorry for yelling, but I needed to make sure everyone understood. Sometimes meat can be overcooked slightly and a little chewy, but they have perfected the art of meat here! The Spicy Tom Yum Noodle Soup was brimming with ingredients and was massive! The combination is their house mix of meats and seafood. Again, the meat was INCREDIBLY TENDER! The seafood was plentiful and also cooked to perfection. I was able to stop myself from stuffing it all into my face so I could wrap up a third of it for future me. I found both dishes to be decently spicy and the server let me know that both were level 1 spicy so I'll definitely kick it up a notch next time I'm back. I think the husb will happily stay at level 1 . The chefs come from Hong Kong and we gave our compliments to the chef over the short wall separating the kitchen from the dining area. This place is now a must-stop for us when we drive from London to the North and it should be for you too!

Asian fusion? Chinese crossed with Japanese and a side of vietnamese?…read more It's a bit hard to pin point the exact origins making up Wofon, but that's what makes it such an exciting treat. There are three steps when ordering -- choosing your noodles (or rice), topping and sauce. Noodles vary from the traditional Japanese ramen (wheat noodles), Udon (thicker wheat noodles), or perhaps a classic Chiense Dan Meen (egg wheat noodles). The toppings selection varies with Wofon special (selection of meats, prawn, roast pork), mixed seafood, or roast duck, for example. And lastly, the sauces. Selection can be Chinese Szechuan spicy, curry, or Japanese teriyaki. What I love about Wofon (aside from their amazing cheap prices) is that there is such a plethora of selection choices. You can order soup noodles one day, mixing noodles another, mixing rice, or wok fried rice. The selections are completely endless! I also strongly recommend the spare ribs with barbecued sauce as a starter. And the banana with vanilla ice cream as a dessert. And for £2.50, you can't beat the price. Enjoy!
