minkey Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 My vote goes to Wok This Way in Walkley...flippin' lovely! As for the Canton King (Hillsborough), I've only been there once. Portions were massive, but the food wasn't brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyhippy Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 We've just ordered from Angel on Chesterfield Road, and It was really nice. The Kung Po Beef was nice and spicy, the chow mein was fresh and crunchy, the basic chicken curry was wolfed down by its recipient, and the Thai green curry was very tasty. Portions are large too. £10.50 for four main meals (I'm always tight and make my own rice!), and a small delivery charge isn't bad for four full tummies, and not having to cook it myself, especially as it tasted good!

public Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 It's not a restaurant but a take-away. The WILD RICE on London is wonderful. Though I am not a fan of any spicy food, I love their chilli spiced squid. Yum yum, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DippyDore Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Blimey! somebody asks about the best Chinese in Sheffield and we get a tsunami of suggestions from restaurants to corner shops selling bottles of soy sauce and chip butties. Shall we talk restaurants for a minute? Best Chinese restaurant in Sheffield? - Sorry, there aren't any. That's the sad fact. If you want a good Chinese restaurant you have to go to Manchester and visit the Yang Sing for example. That's a proper Chinese restaurant - of which there is nothing in Sheffield that can come within a grain of rice of it. If you're not too discerning and don't mind "mixing it" with a few dozens social ne'er do wells under the influence of alcohol, then CandyTown on the bottom of London Road is cheap and cheerful and will help cure a Chinese urge. "Top Wok" used to be decent (on the Moor) but on my last visit there it was distinctly average - is it still in business? The Canton Orchard is the poshest one and prices reflect this. Unusually for a Chinese restaurant it has a decent wine list and reasonable decor. The food is...err, ok. It appeals to people who live in big houses at Ranmoor - that's it's main reason for being. Get on the train and go to Manchester is my advice. There's a proper Chinatown there with loads of choices - none better than Yang Sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DippyDore Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 well, not wishing to be rude here, but usually University students are not the best recommenders of restaurants due to the fact that the poor souls live off a pittance and can't really afford to splash out on an expensive meal. I don't know the places in Sheffield that you recommend and I'm glad you've suggested them because I would be genuinely interested to give them a try. All I would say about Manchester's Chinatown is: 1 Manchester has got one - Sheffield hasn't. Advantage Manchester. 2 The "Yang Sing" on Princess Street has been independently acclaimed to have the best "Chinese" food outside of Hong Kong. That is some accolade? I'd suggest you try the Yang Sing sometime when you are feeling flush, or even the "Pacific" which does Chinese and Thai. And if you are telling me that the takeaways you mention in Sheffield are better than these then I will not just buy food from them, I'll buy shares in them. By the way, I am from Sheffield. I have no affinity with Manchester whatsoever - but, credit where credit's due eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
