SquareMeal Review of Yang Sing

Silver Award

Critically acclaimed since opening in the early 1980s, Yang Sing has long been synonymous with good Cantonese cookery in central Manchester. The dining room is vast, and the menu similarly lengthy. The restaurant specialises in dim sum, and a sharing platter didn’t disappoint: cuttlefish cake was coated in crisp panko breadcrumbs; steamed Shanghai-style pork dumpling had been enriched with black truffle; and steamed prawn red-root spinach dumpling tasted fresh and light. Appetisers, however, were hit and miss: salt and pepper pork belly ribs seemed under-seasoned, while a steamed scallop with premium soy and green bean vermicelli was salty (although not unpleasantly so). Mains courses delivered bags of flavour: double-cooked crispy chilli beef was chewy and slightly sweet with a good balance of heat; spicy lemongrass chicken was tender and fragrant. With its brisk, understated service, large tables, and good-value banqueting options, Yang Sing is especially suited to larger groups.
