Authentic old Canton style food! Would love to visit again when I go Newcastle next time.

Authentic Cantonese food . It was delicious and fresh . The restaurant itself could do with a bit of modernisation but bizarrely it added to the charm

Good Cantonese style cooked food here! Service is pleasant and fast. Restaurant is located on the first floor just a stone’s throw from Newcastle China Town. My opinion the food here is better than many of the restaurants in Chinatown.

Many years since I'd been here. Had forgot just how good the food is. Place itself still a but run down, but the food is still full of flavor and large helpings. Packed out with Chinese families. All 3 of us left vegetables and rice as we were very satisfyingly stuffed after a starter and a main course each which we each devoured!

Stumbled across this place on a hungover Sunday afternoon. I’m not local so I didn’t know where to eat. But my god was it a good choice. Hands down the best Chinese I’ve ever eaten. Once I walked in and was offered a Chinese or English menu and the place full of Asian families enjoying Sunday dinner i knew I was onto a winner. Super clean open kitchen too. We stuffed ourselves and didn’t feel overly full or thirsty like you do after a Chinese. All the meat was fall off the bone tender and fresh. Duck was amazing.

Mid 2023: Dim Sum just like, maybe, better than Hong Kong’s restaurants. Every dish is heat and delicious. The big boss is always looking to help in the restaurant. He giving sweets to my daughter every time after I paid the bill.

Late 2023: As the cook was gone to another restaurant to work, the food quality changed to lower. The boss has gone also. Most of the staff gone.

@ 91A Percy St, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RW, United Kingdom (Near the Haymarket Metro)

A friend from Hong Kong decided to bring me to his FAVOURITE restaurant. According to him, some of the 'Dim Sum' dishes here were better than the ones served in Hong Kong.

1.Cheong Fun wrapped around Fried Crispy dough
- This was the winning dish for me. The cheong fun is made there and then by the chefs, and cheong fun dishes are only available till 4pm.
-a bowl of soya sauce is provided. Just pour it over the cheong fun, and relish the soft exterior with the crunchy interior.

2.Salted Egg Bun
-The defining test of this dish is the melting yellow salted egg that oozes out after a bite. Here, that's exactly what happened.

3.Beef Hor Fun.

This was a most satisfying meal. I'm certain that I'll come back for more soon.
