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.

Fortune Inn is a Chinese restaurant and takeaway near the railway station in Pickering. The…read moreentrance opens into a comfortable area where you can wait for your takeaway; this is also where the varied and well-stocked bar is also situated. The restaurant is masked from this area by a lacquered screen depicting birds, flowers and the countryside. The restaurant itself is fairly large with a good variety of tables to suit any sized party, round tables near the window. The décor is dominated on the wallpaper and pelmets by Chinese Dragons and framed small ornately designed teapots dotted around the walls. The menu is vast for both drinks and particularly the food, with a variety of set meals for two, three, four or five persons. What is staggering though is the price, on average about £10 for a main course, with some much more. The set meals represented good value for money though, but we didn't fancy the combination of dishes. We ordered three dishes and a portion of rice. For the money the food needed to an excellent and we weren't disappointed, it was exquisite - beautifully presented, perfectly cooked and very tasty. The mixed vegetables and straw mushrooms were cooked to perfection. A brilliant meal, but the prices may prevent us being regular visitors, which is a shame, food is rarely cooked this well!

The food at Sky Chinese Cuisine was so good that we ended up coming here twice during our trip…read more Every dish tasted like it was prepared by a master Hong Kong chef. On our first visit, we ordered the pork intestine soup, which had an incredibly rich and flavorful broth packed with generous portions of meat and ingredients. The garlic string beans were another standout, with obvious wok hei and a perfect char that brought out their flavor. We also ordered the clay pot bean curd with lamb, and the combination of savory, comforting flavors made it one of our favorite dishes of the meal. The next day, we came back specifically for dim sum, and everything we tried was excellent. What makes this experience even more memorable is how we found the restaurant in the first place. We were originally planning to eat at Neptune's next door, but when we walked in, the owner asked if we had looked at the menu and whether we were sure we wanted to eat there. She explained that their flavors were geared more toward Western tastes, and when I asked where we could find authentic Chinese food, she immediately pointed us to Sky Chinese Cuisine. That recommendation turned out to be spot on. The biggest downside of this place is the ambiance. The interior feels dated and a bit run-down, and it certainly isn't somewhere you'd visit for the atmosphere. But once the food arrives, none of that matters. The quality, authenticity, and execution of the dishes more than make up for the lack of polish. If you're looking for outstanding Cantonese-style Chinese food rather than a fancy dining room, Sky Chinese Cuisine is absolutely worth the visit.
