Choy Hing Village - Egg fried rice and noodles

Choy Hing Village

Great Chinese restaurant in Sale that also does takeaway but bear in mind they don't deliver so you…read morewill have to go and pick up which sometimes defeats the object of a takeaway! Lots of vegetarian options if you fancy something different and almost all the dishes are tasty. For some reason I don't like the seaweed here and it's usually one of my favourite things but otherwise I definitely recommend you try this place. It's really easy to get to if you want to sit in as well, literally 1 minute from Brooklands metrolink station. Lots of parking nearby as well.

My mate lives in Sale and wanted to try Choy Hing Village as it is within walking distance from his…read morehouse and I used to work at the back of the place and saw lots of delivery vans and wanted to try the place as it seemed fresh and I had high expectations since the price is higher than a normal chinese. I haven't been to this place in about 15 years when I went for a family Christmas meal. As we were hovering outside looking at the menu deciding whether to go in and disappointed that we missed the early bird set price of less than £12 we saw that there were a few people in there as well as a birthday party. We decided to go in. The staff were friendly and we didn't feel rushed in ordering as we took our time to order and asked questions about portions etc. l settled for chinese tea for a drink as they do not serve wine by the glass only in bottles. There was lots to choose from in the menu and I settled for something even the waiter wasn't quite sure what it was. We got a mixed dim sum platter to share for starters which would have been huge for one person to eat. It contained two of the usual dim sums, ribs and one piece of steak. For the main, I ordered a seafood hotpot which came with squid, king prawns and scallops. I have downgraded my rating as the scallops weren't that fresh and the rice didn't taste great. My friend ordered duck in orange sauce with noodles. The atmosphere was great and it seemed busy for a Tuesday night and people seemed relaxed and chilled to the Celine Dion soundtrack. The food wasn't anything to write home about, it was ok and I would come again. It's hard to get excited about chinese restaurants

Yooneek - Cooking away

Stays at one star and it's really disappointing as these folks know how to do very much better…read morebecause we had much better here. It's hard to imagine how they could do much worse. I ordered a sweet & sour pork Cantonese style and it was rubbish. The pork had already been cooked to within an inch of its life before it was battered and deep fried so it was an awful eat. Likewise I had a crispy seaweed which wasn't crispy and actually unpleasant. My wife opted for chilli chicken, which was almost as bad as my food. What they do is a deep fried batter to chicken ratio with chicken very much in the minority and it's not chicken breast either. So I think that's it for this place as we've had a few lousy meals when we didn't update this review - if your focus is on producing food as cheaply as you possibly can with no expense spent you'll run out of customers.

Our go to Chinese take away - good food & they deliver…read more In Sale the take away options, like the sit in restaurant options, are few if you want something decent and edible. Even fewer of the decent places deliver and surely this is the point of a take away? If I can be bothered driving somewhere I probably have the energy to cook instead. A take away for me is the cure for a hang over or a necessity after a horrendous and exhausting day. That said onto the review. Yooneek is a standard Chinese take away. The food is good (few times slightly less so but generally reliable and tasty) and they deliver. The menu had a lot of good options and the price is reasonable. We had chicken in black bean sauce, Cantonese chicken with noodles and egg fried rice. They threw in free prawn crackers which is always nice. Everything was tasty as usual and the food arrived in 30 minutes as they said. All you need from a take away.

I am not a doctor but I know that there are certain times when metabolically the human body has to…read morehave chinese food or it will cause the owner to collapse into a coma and die. Our regular chinese was closed because I'm and idiot and didn't realise most chinese restaurants are closed on a monday. So we searched for a local substitution on our Sat Nav (we were desperate and miles from home) and just picked the first one we found, Gonbay. The restaurant has on the street parking and there were a lot of similarly sized restaurants on the same street in Altrincham, all pretty deserted. SO walking up I was a little nervous because the thought of being loan diners in a restaurant terrifies me. But Gonbay was pretty packed on a Monday night and that is because it is a teriffic little chinese restaurant with amazing staff and a really decent menu. The appetizers and dim sum had all the favourites and then some I had never heard of. We had the fillet steak wraps (£5.80) they advertised three but because they knew we were going to share them they brought out four and an extra cutlery/plate setting which was very nice. The steak was soft and wrapped around shredded vegetables, beansprouts etc you know the drill. The sauce was so sweet and salty and the quality of the meat so good I could have stopped there and been satisfied. I was feeling particularly self indulgent (self destructive) so I ordered the Crispy Chilli shredded Beef (8.50) and boiled rice for our main course. Oh my god it was just as crispy chilli beef should be, gnarled old walking sticks of unidentifiable bits of beef, drenched in sugary salty red sauce, surrounded by onions and peppers in a brief nod towards actual nutrition. I ate the whole thing. What followed was a pot of tea so voluminous I couldn't drink it and I really did give it my best shot. Possibly related to this the toilets are very clean. The staff were really friendly and funny too so that fifth star goes to them specifically. I would love to return some time in the next year but I'm afraid I've eaten all my calorie allowance for the foreseeable future :(.

I travel for business all around the world. Coming from the USA, I was in need of some Chinese…read morefood this day while in the UK. What was nearby to the airport hotel? This place is from Hell! I swear on a stack of bibles - in the name of Jesus - Gonbay was the most bland, tasteless meal I have ever eaten. It wasn't just one dish we ordered. We got 6 different dishes to share among 3 people. Each and every dish was bland, lukewarm and just awful. How can a place like this stay in operation? Take my advise - if this were your last meal before death- just die in peace. To top it all off the wait staff The wait staff were rude as they come. Avoid this place.
