You get fast service, really nice food. very posh inside with really nice chinese decor. Would recommend. But note u need the dosh as its pricey for food, they add on an extra 20% on top of the price if you eat in but you get treated like a princess when you go in. You can also get a takeaway as well but you need to collect, they do not deliver.

I can't believe this place has only one review!…read more Since switching assignments and being in Newcastle this has quickly become a regular, you just can't beat Dim Sum. The plus sides... Dim Sum, glorious and well made Dim Sum. I truly believe it's made on site as the same orders vary quite a lot between visits... they are always consistent enough, but definitely change... that can be good and bad depending on your view, but I can't say I've ever been totally let down. This place is best suited for a group of adventorous friends who aren't scared to order a bunch of small dishes and share... my personal favourites include the Prawn and Chive Dumplings along with the Pork and Prawn Dumplings, along the lines of Sui Mai. Even when I haven't loved something here I usually chalk it up to personal taste, as with the Cheung Fun (a little too bland for me), I saw a Chinese lady beside me order two of them and scoff them up with delight... to each their own! Still, the Smashed Prawn Dumplings, Deep Fried Squid with Garlic, Salt, and Pepper, and so many other things hit the spot that I can't fault misses that are down to me ordering off of the beaten path. :) Oh, the Steamed Barbecue Pork Buns... just the right size and balance of flavour! (These are simple but often go wrong, not so here.) A tip, don't be scared to ask for a sauce... a few dishes come with their specific type, but a lot of the Dim Sum dishes could use a sauce of some sort but they don't tend to offer unless you ask... their happy enough to bring some over though when asked. I haven't ventured to the mains, other than the starter Deep Fried Squid with Garlic, Salt, and Pepper (with extra chilli, naturally), because I find it too fun to have variety and the mains look rather large... what I have seen looks good however, and there's normally large groups of people going for mains at various tables so I assume they're good. The only other down side is twice the pints have just seemed off so it may be best to stick to bottles (the pints aren't Asian as it is), BUT, that could also just be a fluke and/or down to me so I'm not ready to really knock them for that and I certainly haven't stopped going! The place itself is accessible from an elevator on the main street of Chinatown... how mysterious and a bit fun! (OK, fun is relative, but it's still kinda cool.) It's perfectly fitting, larger than expected, and generally pleasant so no real complaints there/ The staff are friendly enough and have even begun to remember some of my orders so they're definitely paying attention! I have to go five stars here because I feel like I would be a hypocrite to do otherwise... I've gone here so much, it speaks for itself and I'll be very sad to say goodbye to this place when I migrate next for work. If you don't like Chinese food or Dim Sum then obviously this won't be for you, but if you like Dim Sum then hopefully this place will rock your world and become a regular of your own.

The food was excellent and more than plenty. All for £16 per head is amazing. Bottled beer was Tsing Tao (?) at only £2.50. We will be there next CHristmas definitely.

The beauty of this place is as well as eating in you can take away, I think that must be where they get a great deal of their business from. As far as I know this is the only Cantonese restaurant in Middlesbrough, personally I found the food to be amazing and since then I have eaten in several other Cantonese restaurants. When we eat there the restaurant was fairly quiet but it was early in the evening, my favourite dish without a doubt was the crispy duck, I have never tasted duck that was this nice. Everyone I have spoken to raves about this place, I have never heard any bad reviews, quite the opposite everyone claims it is the best off they have ever tasted. This is perhaps why their takeaway option is so popular. Price wise I found it to be quite reasonable for the quality of food. The staff were very polite and accommodating, I would definitely recommend anyone that has not eaten here to give it a go.

Not a bad thing at all and the food they gave me was tasty enough Chinese tea is plentifull, muchly welcomed as the lonely contractor in another city. It has that city cafe feel that calling it dingy would be unfair as it's clean and well looked after if not the most stylish cafe ever. A chinese restaurant that serves food to the chinese has to be a good placed to eat with plenty of traditional dishes including chicken feet etc. No alcohol is served here but there are other places for that and I would be more than happy coming here for food on a regular occurance. Careful tho as it's cash only, so don't get caught out like I almost did and the pricing was great as well. Highly recommended

Delicious food. Plenty to chose from. There's vegan, vegetarian and meat options. There's also a…read morenice variety of fresh salad (including a gorgeous prawn salad with prawns, lettuce and Marie Rose sauce), fresh fruit and dressings for the health conscious. There are also options for those who aren't too fond of Asian cuisine but have tagged along with others who are! There's pizza, chips, rice, chicken nuggets, cooked veggies, apple pie, sponge/cheese cakes, ice cream etc...the list is quite long! The soups are immense as a starter. Today, Chinese pork soup and also chicken and sweet corn soup was available on the menu. I tried both! Hmmm very tasty. I mixed Sriracha sauce into the pork soup to give it some extra kick. There's plenty of condiments on offer. Including sriracha sauce, dot sauce, sweet chilli, mayo and ketchup. There's also hot sauces to pour onto your rice or chicken balls (or whatever you like). There's Chinese gravy, sweet and sour sauce, curry sauce and (I think it was) Cantonese sauce. I filled some of the tiny soup bowls up with the sauces I liked and took them to our table to dip our food into or pour it over our dishes. The staff are very polite and very accommodating but not over-baring. You aren't made to feel rushed in any way. Nor do they watch you whilst you plate your meal up!!! Would definitely recommend. It wasn't too busy today (it was a Wednesday afternoon), so even though there was five or six tables in, the atmosphere wasn't buzzing. There are much nicer places to visit nearby if you're after a vibrate buzz and somewhere more upmarket. Having said that, in my opinion, the prices and the delicious food are just too good to miss! It's cheap and cheerful. Thank you to the staff, for a Lovely visit with my Mum and for making us so welcome.

I love the food, but I am disappointed that they only have seafood on offer for the evening pricing bracket. The problem is that the staff have poor english and I find myself asking them to repeat themselves, which makes me feel rude if I ask more than once. Also if I am wanting to purchase alcohol, they need to take my ID to a manager (out the back) to check that it is okay. I do not feel comfortable with someone taking my driving license.
