While I'm a fan of this place…read moreit's been quite some time since I've been here and once again I found the food that I opted to eat just superb. I had some perfectly cooked squid and I gave the giant warm water prawns they were served together with a miss, opting for fine papaya salad. I also had the chicken coconut soup and was it ace. I go fir this every time and I don't think I've ever had better. The cook tops this soup with fried noodle which adds a texture and taste and I added fresh coriander and sliced red chilli; the chilli slices are soaked in white vinegar and boy it enhances the flavours. I ask had chicken satay skewers with a lush peanut sauce (though I'd prefer it thicker) then to mains. I tried a stir fried mince pork which was really tasty as was the Thai green curry. I put some more beautiful squid into the green curry sauce rather than the meat in the green curry. I added some coconut rice to my place and it too was so flavourful. We took a break from eating for a while and then had fresh pineapple, watermelon and some of their banana cooking in a syrup. All in all it was very enjoyable and I can't wait to eat there again

As always the staff are humble yet attentive, consistently asking if you 'enjoyed your food.' I did refill my plate more than once, obligatory I think at buffet type restaurants!

Also there are 3 choices of broths which are prepared and served fresh : I had the spicy pork noodle with all the extras my partner had the red thai chicken soup, mine won in the taste test. We also tried the satay chicken with peanut sauce and the vegetarian red thai curry which was surprisingly good with a real kick.

Sadly, several of the foods just sat in metal containers and congealed, or were "slightly warm" at best. Even the chips. It wouldn't take a lot to keep the food fresh/replenished, or at least give it a stir now and then. Much of the food however, was perfectly stored and kept hot, it's just a shame that it wasn't consistent throughout, meaning that the quality varied, and left me unsatisfied. HOWEVER... the desserts were lovely! Fruit, cake, jelly, rice pudding, popcorn, cheesecakes, mousses and jellies, a self serve ice cream machine serving excellent quality milk ice cream (complete with sauces and sprinkles), and... A CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN avec MARSHMALLOWS! Woo! Although the food was hit-and-miss, the desserts were fab, and for the price, it's hard to complain!

I have been to Teppanyaki restaurants in the past and have always enjoyed them - having the food cooked in front of you adds an entertainment value which is great fun. The staff in here are great - the service i cannot fault at all. From the moment we arrived they were polite and gave us time to look through the menu in the small bar area before showing us to our seats. We asked the waitress if we had the set courses, would we need a sushi starter as well? She said no, and mentioned that the set menu would easily be enough food. I appreciated her honesty as i was just about to spend a further £18 on 8 pieces of Nigiri Sushi and California Rolls. My scarf kept falling off the back of my chair when people brushed past me, and the waitress kept picking it up and placing it back on my chair. This must have happened 5 times - very kind. We both opted for the 'Teriyaki Kyoto' set teppanyaki menu at £24.95 each. This consisted of Zensai, which was a small starter dish of some wontons and spring rolls. A choice of either Sirloin Steak or Chicken Fillet cooked on the teppanyaki grill and egg and vegetable fried rice and stir fried vegetables too. We both opted for steak and the waitress was right - this was plenty of food. Our chef was polite and our food was served quickly.. the rice and stir fry veg was particularly good, and the steak was cooked how i like and was juicy and tender. However, the chef went crazy with the soy sauce on my steak, and whilst this is fine for some people, this made my steak very salty. I can't help but compare this place to Sapporo Teppanyaki - where it's only £21 for a filet steak cooked with rice, veg and potatos - so i found this restaurant particularly expensive in comparison. And like i said, whilst the chef was polite, there wasn't the same entertainment as there is at Sapporo - which did leave me a little disappointed. But, all in all, the food was nice and it's a nice restaurant.

The menu is limited in the sense that it is meat + rice + sauce but it all tastes so good you won't care. And there are actually tons of different meat and sauce to choose from - we had beef, duck and salmon. I went with a big group and it is definitely a special occasion restaurant. I spent much more than I usually do but it was really good fun and some of the sauces made it taste incredible. By far the most entertaining part of the evening was our chef. As we watched him it became clear he didn't speak much English so he made all the animal noises relating to what he was cooking at the moment. Quacking and mooing galore. Rest assured there was nothing lost in translation: both he and his food were a big hit with me and my friends.

To me the clean lines, white leather upholstery and blue lighting made it feel cold and sterile, almost intimidating. Yet after a couple of Stolichnaya Vanil and Tonic cocktails served by a very friendly bartender, somehow the colour scheme felt calming and tranquil. Funny that. Once I was sat down, it only got better. This Cantonese restaurant and Dim Sum bar offers high quality cuisine and great service. We started off with a mixed plate of dim sum and a couple of steamed char siu bao (sweet buns filled with barbecue pork, and a personal favourite of mine) to share, which were practically inhaled by my table in seconds. For my main I ordered Pacifica sirloin steak, a twist on a regular sirloin as it's prepared in the wok with onions, straw mushrooms and oyster sauce. The meat was cooked perfectly medium rare as requested and for £12 was a healthy size and premium quality. Absolutely no complaints. My friend ordered the hot and spicy Sichuan mussels which were the talk of the table: served with crushed ginger, garlic and chilli sauce, they had some kick to them. Somehow, with cocktails and wine included, our bill came to less than £30 a head. You didn't see any of us complaining, it could have been twice the price and we'd still have been happy!

It was nice to see Steamed Glutinous Rice in Lotus Leaf on the menu - I just find food wrapped in leaves fun! Based on other reviews, the fact that dim sum is this small chain's speciality and the general madness of trying some Thai style in a Chinese restaurant, I'd suggest you stick to the dim sum here, there's plenty to get a decent meal. Having said that, bf tried a chicken dish (I think the one with cashew nuts) and really enjoyed it. I would say overall this would be the best place to eat in the Trafford Centre, although the Korean restaurant Wokooshii nearby is good too (probably not coincidentally, as it's owned by the same family).

On a mothering Sunday I taketh the mother bear for an evening of dining and .... well, more dining. The much visited haunts such as Rice and Tampopo were brimming full of folk passionately munching away on their spoils, which led us to a conundrum. Where to go, where to go? My last visit to Yang Sing involved not full on consumption but a mere passive eating experience when I turned up late for a meeting (resulting in finger dipping and friendly fire on plates of accommodating dinner acquaintances) So... sensing a weakness in the queue length we parked ourselves outside the aesthetically pleasing exterior. The aromas that magic carpeted their way from the kitchen unto our nostrils did excite the rumble in the stomach jungle much, after we'd convincingly devoured the menu with our eyes. After a 15 minute wait we were seated by the most polite gentleman ever to walk the face of Yang sing Cathay. Only a few seconds elapsed before I began waving impatiently at the nearest waiter... (My stomach now staging a full on rap battle in sound effects) The food here was arguably the best Eastern restaurant food I have consumed.... wait for it.....*Gathers American accent momentum* Period!!!! I'm not sure whether it was the empty stomach talking or what not, but the four mains we ordered between us were healthy in proportion and delicious in content(tion?). The Beef fried rice I had were rich in texture yet not too oily.... El Madre went Chicken Kung Po on us whilst the other two mains were: shredded fillet steak with spicy yellow bean sauce and the Taiwenese sizzling chicken.... The Kung Po chicken was tender and very loving towards my tastebuds... The sizzling Taiwanese chicken thighs clothed nicely in egg fried rice went down a treat also.... However the show stealer was most definately the Shredded fillet steak... I cannot remember all the ingredients (there were red peppers) that ignited the tonguelar sensory glands ..in fact I cannot remember much aside from the intense culinary pleasure of this dish... I cannot recommend highly enough... With Mains ranging from £9-£13 you're looking at a dinner for two with drinks @ anything between £30-50 depending on the hunger scale you're operating at.. which isn't bad considering the high quality of food on offer. Trafford Centre despite the quantity of eatery options is in fact not so varied in terms of what is on offer. Yang Sing Cathay however has at least provided another option for me aside from Tampopo, Rice and the ever present and reliable Nandos. So indulge your yin and YANG & SING and purrr like a CAT wHAYyyyyyyyy (now put the capital letters together and you've solved the puzzle for where you should dine next time you're in Trafford. Simples)
