I am extremely disappointed with this store and their chosen parking management service, UKPS Ltd. I received an unfair parking charge despite being a customer at Wing Yip supermarket and upstairs Chinese Restaurant, and the notice was even sent to the wrong address, causing delays and preventing me from responding within the appeal period. When I submitted an appeal, UKPS completely ignored it, only for me to later receive a notice from a debt collection agency, adding even more stress. For those who want to visit this restaurant, be careful and reconsider, cause you will RECEIVE A PARKING CHARGE that cause you 100 POUNDS for parking even you had a meal and shopping there!!! read more

TL;DR - A super supermarket for those ingredients you might find hard to get elsewhere. I've intended to vist Wing Yip a few times - the building is enormous and dominates the road, but on a previous visit I was unable to find the entrance. Turns out you have to go round the back (it's signposted for the restaurant, but the supermarket is here too). First up - social distancing, since it is 2020 after all. This is all handled really well - lots of signs about wearing face masks, antibacterial gel as you enter, marks on the floor for 2m distancing and screens around the checkouts; payments can be contactless; staff wear masks and gloves and even pass you your receipt in a plastic box. I'd say they're doing a better job than most shops full stop. OK, on to the produce - as you might expect you can get lots of ingredients for Chinese cooking here but there's so much more as well, with most east-Asian cuisines catered for from Vietnam to Japan. There's also a substantial amount of fresh meat and veg available, plus chiller and freezer cabinets as well as your store-cupboard staples. There are also appliances and things like crockery for sale. If you're running a business, there's a substantial cash and carry section at the far right of the store. Manchester has a few specialist supermarkets like this, but I think Wing Yip wins in terms of breadth of offering. read more

Wing Yip is a fantastic Chinese super market up on the Oldham Road - it may seem quite a far way to go but is only 5-10 mins walk from the Northern Quarter and there's also a large car park at the back if you choose to drive. The aisles are filled to the brim with quality sauces, pastes, spices, herbs and general ingredients that will make a tasty feed in all Asian cookery. They have loads of hot sauces (something that my wife can't get enough of) and are always a good place to go if you're after something that little bit more exotic. There's live fresh fish, loads of frozen cabinets selling seafood and meats and you can buy crockery and implements for making great Asian food at home. Just watch what time you go - it was rammed on the Fri afternoon I went and even with all the checkouts staffed I prob had to wait 15 mins to pay! read more

Holy Chinese Supermarket Batman! But not just Chinese. Here you can buy Thai pastes, a Japanese sushi kit (complete with bamboo rolling mat PEOPLE! Okay, I bought one), sample Indian and even grab offerings you wouldn't find anywhere else like Singaporean and Malaysian. There's a whole cash and carry part of the store where you can take away giant catering crates of stuff. No wonder so many of the restaurants in Manchester yoink their ingredients from here. They look after their customers too. Free parking? Oh yes. Cooking utensils for the perfect Chinese? You betcha. Spices, teas (teas! You know how much I love my herbals)? In spades. Oh and there's plenty of traditional stuff too to bewilder Westerners... mmm, pig fat end. And the best thing of all? Fresh fish and seafood as well as a range of frozen produce. Giant slabs of meat. Live lobsters. Fresh eastern veg. A bakery within. It's got the lot. The only thing I haven't found there is bubble tea, but good god they have the ingredients for it. I've never seen so much 'steam for 5 mins' black pearl tapioca! Note: I've never seen it ever. Next time we go we're picking up a bamboo steamer. Did I mention that when I move house, this, and Aldi, are to be my closest supermarkets? Joy! It's going to be an interesting time of culinary experimentation. Thank goodness for ma swankeh new kitchen. I love cooking Chinese, Thai, Malaysian (ohhh, the satay) and Indian. It's wholesome, it's fresh, and highly tasty. I think anyone reading this should happily revel in the unfamiliar and experiment with some great ingredients from this superb supermarket. You won't be disappointed. And a big shout-out to the snacks, too. Pick up some of the BBQ-flavoured little shredded wheat snacks and instantly wonder where they've been all your life. read more

A hypermarket of oriental wonder! This huge restaurant, bakery and food store is just opposite my work so I couldn't believe I hadn't been before. I was looking to try the bakery for lunch and wasn't disappointed. There is a really good range of little buns and pasties. The flavours were all very tempting, I went for ham & egg (amazing), beef satay (my new favourite thing) and a custard one for dessert. The value for money was great with 3 items for around £4, much better then my normal spend! I also browsed the main sections and the food is ready reasonably priced. The tofu was half the price I pay at Sainsburys. They also have a great selection of crockery and utensils as well as cook books. I've already been back to buy sauces and pickled ginger. This is going to change the way I cook! read more

I completely love this place. Wing Yip is a huge Chinese cash and carry that serves Manchester's many Chinese restaurants. As well as industrial sized bags of rice and noodles, you can delicacies like crab's claws and frog's legs too. Oh, and things that don't sound a bit scary too, like amazing chicken dumplings and tasty dipping sauces. Not everything is in industrial sizes either, so it seems ok to pop in and just buy a reasonably sized bag of something exciting. At the back of the store you'll find a fishmongers, and also a small counter serving awesome Chinese pastries. I have no idea what's in most of them, but they're really delicious and 100% better than Greggs! You can drive in and park in their car park which is dead useful as it's often really hard to park on the Oldham Road. Wing Yip has its own restaurant up above the cash and carry. One day I'm going. read more

This is hugely popular Wing Yip supermarket near the city centre. Expect lots of local chinese stocking up for their restaurants and takeaways, but also open to the general public. Its a big warehouse with pretty much everything you need for chinese and asian cooking. They also sell cooking utensils such as pans woks and steamers, a variety of wooden and imitation ivory chopsticks and the like. Buy in bulk or individually for your needs. Of the main Manchester chinese cash and carrys. Parking is never an issue here. read more

Wing Yip is an Oriental wonderland! It's catered to the public, Chinese residents, and Chinese restaurants and shops for over 40 years and continues to be incredibly popular. You can get anything you could imagine here in regards to Oriental cuisine, from sauces and dumplings to Chinese, Korean and Japanese sweets and treats, and from live lobster and crab to cooking implements from both home level to industrial level. This time round as well as buying some old favourites and new sauces to try, we got some Korean biscuit snacks, Japanese Crisps, and Chinese milk candy, as well as some small ceramic bowls to replace our ugly plastic versions of the same thing, and even a cooler bag to finish off with. Service is friendly and efficient, and they pack your bags for you and even wrapped up the bowls in newspaper first. The venue is easy to find due to its distinct exterior, and is easily accessible. It also has a free multi-story car park, an on-site restaurant, and a fresh bakery within the store. DEFINITELY one to visit if you've never been before. Even if you're not into Asian food, it's worth a look for all the other things you can buy, such as fresh horseradish and durian fruit in the fresh fruit and veg area, and the English food offerings too. read more

Well if you are fanatic about Chinese cooking this is the place to come! Stumbled upon this place whilst on the way back from walking dogs at Manchester dogs home. We saw the massive pagoda that is outside and became curious as to what it was. This supermarket is absolutely massive and has a huge car park and restaurant above it named 'Glamorous', which is advertised with the HUGE pagoda with WING YIP written on it. It seems to be only a secret outside of the Chinese community as when we got in it was pretty heaving, and this was on a Sunday at about 4pm. There are a massive variety of sauces, noodles, crisps, fruit and veg, fish, meat and pretty much everything else! All in exciting foreign packaging which we both had no idea what most stuff was, which kind of added to the experience. There is a huge range of pre-prepared Chinese foods frozen and fresh, like pork rolls, dumping and huge bags of frozen fish. There is a massive warehouse at the back for wholesale and buying in bulk which we didn't go into, but looked like a Chinese foods version of the Ikea warehouse. The thing which knocked a star off for me, was that there was a minimum spend of £10 on card which wasn't advertised anywhere apart from on the till in miniature writing which was slightly irritating. Its also not especially cheap which we expected, having gone to another similar Chinese supermarket on upper brooks street. read more

I'm the type of person who gets stupidly exited whenever I go into a supermarket in a foreign land (Hiperdino in Fuerteventura is my Mecca),but really, I don't need to go abroad,I can just go to Wing Yip and get my fix of to quality eastern fare. We don't go there as often as we should,but when we do,we have a tendency to splurge,and splurge good! If our freezer at home was bigger,it would be bursting its door with goods from here,as it is I normally have to make do with several packs of the Salt and Pepper chicken wings (A particular favourite of mine if we are getting a take-away),and Ange likes to go there for the Pork Buns and to top up her supply of Sriracha (A Thai hot chilli sauce,try it,especially the flying goose brand). The staff are really lovely and friendly too,which is of course, always a plus. read more

Preparing for job interviews is not fun, which is why I am taking a break, since I have been slacking on my reviews! I have been looking for an Asian food store for awhile and bookmarked a couple that I saw here on Yelp. I forgot about them until I ran across my recipe for Jiaozi (dumplings/potstickers) and decided it was time to make them again. I suggested that we go to the Asian food store first as I usually find that I can find other ingredients that I would normally get at a regular store... and sometimes a bit cheaper! It isn't difficult to find... huge pagoda out front! There is free parking for customers, but I have a feeling when the place is very busy, it might be difficult to find parking. There is also a restaurant on site, which we will have to come back and try another time. Mr. Snarky grabbed a shopping cart and mentioned how it was more like a shopping cart in the U.S. I assume that meant fixed back wheels? Anyhow, the moment I entered I was like a kid in a candy store. Mr. Snarky was trying to keep me on task, but I had to explore! If you are looking for dishes, rice cookers (omg the rice cookers!), cooking equipment (for your own kitchen or an industrial kitchen), etc. they have it all and for really reasonable prices. I bought two bamboo steamers, just over two quid each (including the lids) as I thought we could have some steamed dumplings as well... not to mention my cheapo rice cooker didn't come with a steamer insert so this was a must! Walls of soy sauce, vinegars, and chili sauces offer so much variety that you may have trouble picking one! I had a soy sauce in mind, however, they didn't have it on the shelves. It wasn't very surprising as I didn't think they would carry much for Filipino items, although I did find a few Filipino brands... just not the ones that I wanted. However, I must have picked the right soy sauce as it has a similar flavor to the one I wanted. At this point you must be thinking I'm nuts, but yes, I am picky about soy sauce... even rice, but they really aren't all the same. There are walls of instant noodles... yes they may be intimidating because you don't know what flavor they are, but try them, they are miles better than the Pot Noodles at your regular grocery store. You can buy condiments, seasoning, rice, veg, and meats in industrial sizes, or you can get them in smaller sizes for your own kitchen. Personally if we had storage space, we would have bought a large bag of Jasmine rice because I am always running out of rice! I do like the huge selection of frozen items, particularly the dumplings. While I was making dumplings from scratch, I have not yet learned the way of the Xiaolongbao (Shanghai Soup Dumpling), so I decided we would grab a package of those and have Dim Sum. I noticed that they also have Mantou and other steamed buns, although I didn't see any Baozi, which I would have grabbed up. I love that there is a small bakery at the back of the store. I had to restrain myself, but they had Youtiao (a fried dough, not sweetened, but they did have one that is sweetened) and something that looked like Shaobing, but I didn't see a label so I can't be sure. There were loads and loads of chillers and freezers of meat and seafood. Sure there were some unusual bits, but they also have the usual cuts of meat that you would find at your local store. We found huge racks of ribs for a reasonable price and the next time I make ribs, we'll probably go here to get them. I found dumpling and egg roll wrappers... loads of different sizes. I was a bit surprised that I couldn't find Chinese Yard Long Beans in the veg section so I ended up having to go with regular green beans, but at least they had something that I could substitute with. They also had beautiful selections of Bok Choy and Napa Cabbage. And... I got a huge piece of ginger for 91p. I told Mr. Snarky that I would never be able to use it all and he said, "But it's 91p!" So now I am looking for recipes using ginger... lots of it! Also in the veg and fruit area, they have tofu, various cakes made with Pandan, sushi, and eggs. They also carry the 'Thousand-year-old Egg' or Century Egg (a preserved egg) and Salted Duck Eggs. They have staff to bag your items, makes me feel like I am back in the U.S.! There are loads of great ingredients here, from the exotic to the everyday ingredients. While I will still need to check out some other stores to see if I can find some of the more specialist items I am looking for, this store is a great start. read more

As far as Chinese supermarkets/wholesalers go, Wing Yip have really got it together. They have four of these huge supermarkets in the UK, all with free car parking and easily accessible from the motorway. The Manchester branch is part of a Wing Yip business centre which also houses a Chinese branch of HSBC bank and other Chinese businesses - a bit like a self-sufficient Chinatown development. It is on the huge size for Chinese supermarkets, with a wholesale warehouse to the rear of the store and various Chinese restauranters doing their weekly shop. But almost everything is available in small sizes as well as large; it's clean, modern, efficient, authentic - so check it out! As well as an infinitude of noodles, spices, and Chinese vegetables for making things from scratch, they stock a huge range of jarred sauces and other prepared foods to allow the less experienced chef some shortcuts. Also, cooking equipment - woks, cleavers, balloon whisks, etc - a bakery, fishmongers, butchers and a Chinese crafts shop. If you wanted to put on a Chinese-themed dinner party - or even an elegant meal for two - the amount of choice available at Wing Yip will allow you to make a better job of it. Note: Although this is not a great area for scenery or indeed strolling around after dark, checkout the Vnam restaurant across the road from which is starting to win some awards. read more

An absolutely massive Chinese supermarket with nearly everything you could want, but at the same time surprisingly limited in some of their variety. If you're mainly looking for dry goods, or shelf stable stuff (think: sauces, noodles, crisps, etc.) they've got aisles and aisles of the stuff. You can spend an hour trying to figure out which new Asian snack you want to try, and still be second-guessing yourself as you leave. Their refrigerated and frozen sections are similar with tons of goodies that can be stored long-term for when the craving to reheat and eat hits you. I was disappointed with their fish and produce sections, though. I've been here several times and not once have I even been tempted into considering buying the fish. It smells strongly of dead fish -- "hey, wait a second," you say in this conversation I'm making up in my head, "it's fish, of course it's going to smell like fish!" Yes, I agree with you, but having been to my fair share of fish markets I'd like to think I can tell when it's a good or bad smell. This area of the market is the bad wouldn't-eat-that-if-you-gave-it-away smell. For the size of the market their produce is surprisingly limited. They have a decent selection, but you won't be able to pick up your weekly fruit and veg from here alone. The store is kept nicely lit and clean, which is always a plus, and though I've only had limited interaction with staff they always seem friendly enough. If you come on the weekends, they sometimes do free samples so you can try some of the goodies you'd never think of purchasing...this is dangerous though, as it led me to buying 6 bags of Taiwanese crisps I never would have considered getting before! For those wanting to drive, they have a large parking lot and a generous amount of time you can park while you shop (if I remember correctly it's over an hour, possibly 2). read more

I went into this huge Chinese supermarket this morning and had to restrain myself. I did not want to be carrying a 3 litre jar of sweet chilli sauce or a bag of rice bigger than myself around town for the next 2 hours. I was successful and left with only a bottle of cold green tea, and it was only the standard 500ml. I'd previously been into the Wing Yip in Birmingham, but this one is much bigger. Unlike many Indian cash and carries this one is sparkling clean and very spacious. You can buy everything you'd possibly need for Chinese cooking here and they also have Thai, Singaporean, Malaysian and Indian sections. I was very tempted by the 2.5 litre tub of Patak's curry paste as I always seem to get through my little jars so quickly. It was certainly good value at £8 for a tub which would last me at least a couple of years! They stock a really wide selection of goods, including many of which I don't have a clue what they are. The Chinese jelly certainly looked interesting. There were about 20 varieties of coconut milk! The final aisle stocks rice cookers, pans and very scary looking knives and there is also a small in-store bakery which opens at 11am. According to the receipt Wing Yip is 'All the Chinese you need to know'. This definitely was not the case when I was in China, but although there was a lot of Chinese being shouted around between the hundreds of staff stacking the shelves in this supermarket, I heard them helpfully locating the beansprouts for an English man. Next door is a Chinese restaurant and a Chinese branch of HSBC and across the road are several other Chinese shops, which makes this area Manchester's unofficial second Chinatown. read more

Pop in for a pork bun from the in house bakery. Little pillows of porky pleasure! (Honey ones are ace too) Also great place for little pressies for goodies. All kinds of random kitchen inspiration. read more

I am obsessed with this place! Yes, it does have giant servings of its products, but it also has normal human sized portions too, at really great prices. Really great. There's ridiculous amounts of choice too, which makes it ideal for anyone just starting out their expedition into Eastern cuisine. There's also a smaller Ho's Bakery based inside as well as a little trinket shop. The service is superb and you'll get no choice in the matter about someone packing your bags for you. A word of warning: don't take in any carrier bags or oversized handbag, you'll have to give them up on the door - worth it though, it leaves your hands free to grab m some oriental bargains. You also need to spend £10 to use your cards, don't see that being a problem either! read more

Its a Big Chinese supermarket with a few other Asian items in it. You can get everything from a new work to a live lobster to cook in it! Firstly if you just want a few small things take note; The minimum spend on card is £10 and if you buy the shop in shop ( Ho's Bakery ) its cash only in there own shop. As mentioned you can buy everything you need to open the next national chain of restaurants. Large catering packs of Spring rolls to 5 litre tubs of Chilli Jam. It seems cheap for some items but not for others. It has developed over the past few years for more of a supermarket like any other but with a oriental twist. As I sit here writing this about a week since i crossed its threshold, I could honestly say id be happy to go back in now even if it was busy as the staff are all so nice. Even you ask the silly questions like do you sell prawn crackers; By the way they do in the thousands! They have a warehouse section at the back with cans of beer and soft drinks along with other bulk food items . So if you need 240L of cooking oil or 10L of shrimp paste then you will be fine. Small note - be careful as its a bulk buy shop normally for business, not all prices include the VAT so look closely at the label to see the VAT added price. Worth a trip too. Have a look at the dim sum section :) read more

Gargantuan selection of frozen, canned and fresh foods of the Asian persuasion alongside every accessory you could possibly need to cook or launch your own restaurant with. Wing Yip is a national chain of stores, and this Manchester store does not disappoint. Free parking, a restaurant upstairs, Ho's Bakery within and also the Arts Centre (the larger shop of which is in China Town) to pick up a waving cat ornament while you are there. The vast freezer chests host an array of raw seafood, dim sum, a million things I cannot remember the name of and the occasional bag of chicken feet. If you are catering for the masses, dive straight in. There seems to be a steady stream of special offers and handy free magazines / recipe booklets as you go through the check outs....write a list before you come, but dont stick to it. By the time you are pushing your trolley out of here, you will be planning the most epic feast of your life. read more

Having the Chinese family the general pattern is that we pick a restaurant/supermarket place to be obsessed with for a while and this is the current supermarket of choice, a little secret from one Chinese family to the rest of Yelp... I don't really know why this pattern occurs, there's no usual rationality to my parents in terms of this choice. I imagine it is the huuuge choice, the accessible location on Oldham Street and the mighty good car park and general acres of grounds this place possesses. Oh and value for money is normally high up on the agenda. I've started to venture into Japanese tastes and cooking and Wing Yip sure did deliver. Made a smashing meal from my purchases last night. From one Chinese person to you all...this place is the rave for the time being. Definitely one for exploration and experimenting. read more

It is a bit out of city centre but you still can manage to go. It is massive Chinese supermarket, cash n carry place. The shop are very clean ( I think it is the cleanest of all Chinese supermarkets in Manchester) and very enjoyable to see all mysterious products( sometimes you can find rare items such as frog leg etc..) I can easily spend hours in the shop. They have fishmonger, butcher, bakery and little girlie shop too( which sells stationary , accessory etc) I can find fairy good amount of Japanese foods too. The only downside is some items are so expensive compared with other supermarkets so you would better to go other supermarkets first and if you cannot find it, you can go there. They also sell other pan Asia foods too. read more

Excellent Chinese cash and carry. Got nothing to do? Then pop along to Wing Yip and have a good mooch. I challenge you to spend an hour in there and not go Oh look at this!! I bet you can't. There are so many weird and wonderful things to see, I went browsing and came home with 2 bags full of stuff! Looking for that mystical oriental ingredient for your recipe, forget Tesco get to Wing Yip, buy it there not only will it be fresher (its busy stuff moves quickly) but normally it is cheaper too. Planning a family party? Have a look though the frozen food for nibbles / finger food. Planning an authentic meal? Get on Google get some recipes and go shopping! read more

I find this chinese supermarket/cash & carry excellent. It's huge & there is loads of choice also lots of items that you can't get elsewhere. The prices are good/average & I find lots of food is cheaper than other supermarkets I have visited. As well as food they also have a good range of kitchen utensils & crockery. You can even get live crabs & lobster if you wish. There is a chinese bakery & a little gift shop as well as a 'chinese arts' shop located within the supermarket. There is a huge car park which is safe & secure. There is a restaurant but I can't comment on the food as I haven't eaten there but it did smell lovely & they ahve a good 'business mans lunch' offer on during the day . Overall a good shop with friendly staff & well worth a visit. read more

Here at Thrifty Towers we've become obsessed with any food the far east and have books upon books of authentic recipes that we lust over. Half of these recipes call for ingredients we've never heard of or cannot track down as part of our regular shop. We have started making regular trips to Wing Yip and I can't fault it (well maybe the parking is a bit hectic but walking or weekday trips will help you avoid that). The items in store are fresh, well priced and plentiful. Staff are on hand if you are struggling to find something you need and they'll even pack your bags for you at lightning quick speed. read more

If you live or work in the city centre of Manchester, you often have to do your food shopping in the centre too, which is both a pricy and often painstaking process. This is an awesome place for those who fancy themselves a dab hand at Asian cookery. It stocks foods for restaurant owners (in bulk) and for those who want to do a regular shop of rarer ingredients at a good price for dinner parties et al. Yes, it's a little out of the way, but you do get to shop in peace. i've yet to see the place on par with the craziness of Asda Eastlands! The prices in Wing Yip AMAZING. Take for instance a can of coconut milk. In the city centre convenience supermarkets you're looking at around £2 per can. In Wing Yip there's about 4-5 different brands all prices around the 70p mark. Pretty good going eh? The only thing I'd warn the ladies about is that they don't allow you to carry your handbag around with you, and ask that you leave it for safekeeping in a little office near the entrance. I'd either stash your bag in the boot of your car or just bring your money in your pocket. Oh, I love this place! read more

After going on a wander I found myself inside Wing Yip Chinese supermarket. It is full of all sorts and wonderful things which I had know idea what to do with but it was still an experience! They sell a lot of wholesale goods to restaurants as well as having a great selection of things for the public. I got loads of great veg as well as some new beers I had never tried. If you happen to be in the area I would definitely recommend checking it out! read more

I am a sucker for any asian supermarket whether it be for spices or fresh produce. For spices I usually visit a little shop nearer to home purely for convinience but whenever I am at this side of Manchester I usually make an effort to visit here. This place contains all of the produce or utensil you could ever need to cook authentic asian meals at home (or business). They also cater for trade as they sell larger packs of most things. You can buy what look to be decent kitchen knives and cleavers as well as good quality basic woks and turners - make sure you season them properly and they will last ages! Not sure on the quality of the meat but it seems ok and well priced. The veg is usually of decent quality and I have never walked out of here without buying anything. The little bakery inside serves up some nice little treats as well - especially the coconut cakes! They are amazing! If you are looking for asian cooking equipment then head over to Wing Yip. read more

I have been here a few times with my partner, we went this weekend and they were doing demonstration I tried the pad thai sauce with egg noodles and veg it was lovely the sauces were on offer so I got the pad thai stir fry sauce and a pineapple sweet chilli which was lovely as a dipping sauce or on salad. The meat is quite reasonable too they had some chicken thigs reduced £1.75 so we got a bargain too. They have lots of different sauces, spices, meat and fresh fish read more

Do not eat here!! The food was fatty and greasy. Waitress split soup on us and we were charged to cut a birthday cake

You're spoilt for choice when it comes to Chinese supermarkets in manchester, but Wing Yip is one of the oldest and best. A wide range to choose from, easy parking and reasonable prices. Definitely a place to visit once in a while to restock read more

This is a brilliant Chinese cash and carry. If you are a keen cook, and like to make authentic dishes you can get the proper spices and other ingredients here that the chinese use in their own dishes. As the other person said, I think it is great that most of the prodice is imported because it is genuinely authentic! I havent been to the restaurant there myself but I hear that it is damn good food! read more

Wing Yip is a Chinese food cash and carry open to the public and it is fantastic. They sell all the raw ingredients for Chinese recipes and would be great for someone who is a fan of Chinese food. As well as selling whole duck (including the head), most of the food is imported. They have a small shop selling Hello Kitty and other Chinese novelties but you should go there for their restaurant- the Glamorous Restaurant. It is very big and, well, glamorous with chandeliers and live lobsters in a tank. Highly recommended. read more

this chinese supermarket is one the most expensive ones in manchester.. I certainly would not recommend this place. The prices they charge are like ur local corner shop For such a large organisation its daylight robbery!! read more

Wow. Talk about your crappy service. I mean really...wow. (Before I begin I must be clear that this review refers to the restaurant upstairs, and not the supermarket which Wing Yip is famed for.) But wow, back to that service. A friend and I were feeling a little wobbly after a night out and decided to pick up some take out to take the edge off. She is both Chinese and an excellent cook, which means she knows good food, and really knows good Chinese food. We ambled up to Wing Yip having checked out the menu online and were ready for some sticky goodness. We went up to the hostess counter to place an order and were met with some pretty nonplussed waitresses who gave us menus and told us to sit down, no one came over to see what we wanted so we went back up to the counter to order, from a menu which seemed vastly different to the one we'd checked online. The guy who we spoke to seemed deeply deeply offended at the suggestion that the menu online was different to the one we had been given. He *literally* scoffed, shook his head and walked away. When we did place an order with him several minutes later, he was again offended that we didn't order rice as we had some cooking at home. Seriously shocking service and seriously nothingy food. Sorry Wing Yip, it was a Wing Yop. read more

Wing Yip is a Chinese cash and carry with its own restaurant. The food here is cooked to very high standards with fresh ingredients and although I do not choose to eat here with friends or for special occasions I have as part of my cash and carry shopping trip. I find that the staff are helpful and that the food arrives hot. There is a good menu with a wide selection of food. The place seems clean and the same can be said for the cash and carry. Wing Yip is a good place to visit if you like Chinese food and it is also worth ordering something from the restaurant than you have never had before and then buying the ingredients from the cash and carry and making it yourself at home. 4 stars! read more

Went here last week as i normally go when i run out of the curry powder ideal place for me only 2 mins away, But i was shocked to see a big black rat running under the shelf's not a clean place to shop god knows what other things might be in there let alone what maybe in the restaurant that's attached to the warehouse bit. read more

A large Chinese supermarket offering goods for both professional Chinese restaurants and takeaways or for individuals doing their regular shop. There are a couple of in-store shops separate from the main store. A seller of imported ornaments and other nicknacks and, my favourite, a bakery selling freshly baked goods brought in. You can eat these in or out of the main supermarket. The supermarket often offers warm, freshly roasted ducks in boxes to take out for about £14. There's also usually a selection of fresh pork or other baked buns. There's a butcher/fishmonger who offers live crabs or lobsters. I often see very fresh langoustines, sole and other fresh fish. The butcher commonly offers individual chickens (including the occasional black chicken) and huge whole belly pork sheets for low prices (empty your freezer and stock up) The butcher counter mostly stocks pork or chicken products. They also stock well priced red and white meats both frozen and fresh in large fridges.I usually buy a pack of skirt beef and store it in the freezer for making beef stir fries. There are walk in refrigerated rooms for the pro sized packs. A great variety of frozen dim sum is also there to tempt you. dont be scared. You really need to empty your freezer before coming lol. Besides the dim sum there are well priced packs of many fish and meat products including some I'm too big a coward to try. Wing yip also have a row of refrigerators offering fresh dim sum, vegetables, sausage, noodles, dried fish etc. be brave, try the chickens feet in black bean sauce with chilli! Check out is a dream. Usually there's the cashier plus someone there packing for you. I've been shopping there for years. At one time paying by card meant being accompanied to a single card machine at customer services. A while ago they got terminals fitted at all their tills so its a lot easier. (Shopping bags must be checked in when you enter the store but you can carry your handbag) If you get hungry you can snack at the bakery inside, or go upstairs to the Glamorous restaurant. The problem with the glamorous is it can get hugely busy (at weekend it is when I go) . I opt for their dim sum or 3 meats with ice/noodles which you can order from the staff or from trolleys that tour round the restaurant. For 2 of us it usually costs about £30-£35 which is quite expensive for dim sum plus drinks at lunch time but we've always enjoyed them. read more
