About The Little Yang Sing
On George St in Manchester, The Little Yang Sing serves Chinese regional cooking across a large dining room with a designed interior. Dim sum is served alongside a wider menu that runs from crispy duck and satay chicken skewers to seafood dumplings, crab soup, and sizzling fillet steak Cantonese style. A 2 main course meal plan is offered, and vegetarian and vegan options sit alongside the standard dishes. Jasmine tea accompanies the food, and tables are served with drinks brought after ordering. A service charge is added to the bill.

Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out the crispy duck and dim sum as standouts, with several also praising the beef with Cantonese sauce, satay chicken skewers, and mock chicken dishes for vegetarians, alongside a strong tea selection. Service is most often described as friendly and quick, with staff checking in regularly and offering guidance on ordering, though portions and prices run large and slightly higher for the location. A few notes recur about specific dishes needing adjustment, like ribs that were tough to chew and crab soup wanting more sweetness. Two experiences stand apart sharply: one reviewer describes a staff member raising his voice over a table-change request, and another reports finding a dead spider in a steamed dish and says staff were dismissive and asked them to leave when they raised it, a claim the reviewer says was escalated to environmental health. Most others describe being not rushed, checked on throughout, and encouraged to return for celebrations.

“Decided to visit after our usual place was closed, it's been a long time since we visited, excellent and friendly service couldn't ask for better, always checking, was a bit shocked at £9 for a bacardi & coke, food was nice , ribs were very meat but a bit of a struggle to chew, otherwise everything tasted good, service charge was also added which was deserved as the service was great, quite a few diners in for the time of day , wasn't rushed at all, relaxed eating”

“The beef with cantonese sauce was absolutely fantastic, its so tender and umami. I recommend the 2 main course meal plan. The crab soup needs bit of sweetness and fixing in taste. The stirred fried duck is also tender and amazing as well. Fried rice is immaculate! Jasmine tea is very soothing as well. Overall rating 7.8/10”

“An amazing restaurant also for vegetarian ❤️ A lot of options available for vegetarian and vegan people who love asian food like us. Advice, order just a side rice and vegetables if you order just protein like the chicken plates because maybe it's too much then 😅 The plates are big and delicious 🤤 The waiters were always kind and friendly, and it's a clean place.”

“I visited this restaurant late in the evening as it was one of the few places still open after 9pm. The food was genuinely great, and both the waiter and waitress were very friendly, attentive, and quick with service — they made a positive impression. However, my experience was negatively affected by how a seating request was handled. We asked a staff member named Warren (an older, short man) if it would be possible to change tables as we were sitting opposite the main entrance and it was quite cold. Instead of responding calmly, he appeared to lose patience and raised his voice at me in front of other customers, saying he would let us know when something became available. This reaction felt unnecessary and unprofessional, especially for a simple request. It’s a shame, because aside from that interaction, the overall experience — particularly the food and other staff — was very good. Unfortunately, this incident left a negative impression.”
