Quick info
About Yiu's Garden
Yiu's Garden is a takeout restaurant in Northampton, at 237 Birchfield Rd E, with a menu of 11 dishes centered on familiar Chinese takeout staples. The menu is built around chow mein and fried rice, giving the spot a focused, everyday takeout identity rather than a broad, multi-cuisine lineup. Chicken Chow Mein and Special Chow Mein anchor the noodle side, while Yui's Fried Rice offers a named rice dish that stands apart from the standard fried rice offering. Because the format is takeout, meals are ordered and taken away rather than eaten on site, making it a practical option for weeknight dinners and quick lunches. The compact dish list keeps ordering straightforward, with the two chow mein options suggesting a focus on variations within a core specialty.

Customer Review Summary
Yiu's Garden is repeatedly praised as a top Chinese takeaway in Northampton, with many reviewers calling it the best in town and loyal customers returning for years. The chicken chow mein and egg fried rice come up as standout dishes, and several describe the food as fresh, delicious, and consistently well cooked, with short waits for collection. A few reviewers note that phoning the order through is the better option, as the line can be busy. On the negative side, one reviewer reports receiving reheated food rather than freshly cooked, and another describes a special occasion order where the chicken was undercooked and the rice and noodles lacked flavour. Portion sizes also draw comment, with one customer finding the quantity of pork balls, prawn crackers, and rice excessive for a single person. One review details repeated phone calls being answered then cut off, leading that customer to stop using the business.

“Was struggling to find a decent Chinese takeaway in the Abington area of town. My search is over. Lovely food, couldn't fault any of the dishes we ordered and you can pay by card. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended.”
- Peter Marsh
“They should ask if the meal is just for one person. 12 pork balls for example is a bit much for one person. A bag containing several dozen prawn crackers is a lot for one - a dozen would be a lot. As for bean sprouts and rice, a container half the size would.”
- Andreevich
“Amazing place, excellent service, clean and tidy place, kind and respectful staff, delicious food and not much for waiting time . Totally recommend”
