Yum Sing Cantonese Restaurant

This place is vastly over rated and lives on its previous good reputation. I have not been for a while and revisited recently. I have to say the food is at best average. The service is not the best, the waitress seemed like she wanted us to get the hell out so she could go home and even though we clearly hadn’t finished eating seemed to want to clear our table. The prices are extortionate, best described as a rip off. In my opinion, there are far far better Chinese restaurants on high street in town where the quality of food is better, the service is good and the prices are better.

It seems Chinese food is a little out of fashion these days.. with the rise of so many other cuisines to choose from. If you want good Chinese food in Leicester....look no further, that's if you can get a table, it's very busy... I asked for a takeaway at first, but they only do one maybe two takeaways a night.. as they want focus on the restaurant. (How refreshing to hear) We managed to get a table for two at short notice and we were on a time limit as the table had been booked for later.
The place isn't massive but it was full and lively... staff are warm & friendly. Sesame Toast & Spare Ribs for starters followed by King Prawn (Ming Style) and Chicken (Szechuan style) I have to say every course was cooked to perfection and ingredients are all quality. I doubt you could find better anywhere in Leicestershire. I highly recommend this place. Anyone who has read other reviews I written will know I don't always give 5 stars... only if it's deserved.

Brilliant place! Came here as a group of 7, with 2 vegetarians. They allowed us to order the set menu but they adapted it and brought out specific vegetarian dishes separate from the meat ones but kept the same price! Lots of food for the price, and they let us take the leftovers in a bag as there was so much lovely food but we couldn't finish it all! Excellent, friendly staff and lovely warm atmosphere. I'd say it's the best of its genre in Leicester, and I'd absolutely recommend it to everyone!

This is honestly THE BEST Cantonese food I've ever had, and defo on my top 3 most favourite foods I've EVER tasted. I would highly recommend Yum Sing. I had sweet 'n' sour chicken with egg fried rice, the coated chicken was delicious and had an amazing texture, as well the scrumptious sauce which was perfectly not too sweet. The egg fried rice was AMAZING and complementary to all the tastes from the chicken. Consistently good, even for take-away!!! All round⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!

My family and I have been visiting Yum Sing for at least 10 years, the service and quality is consistent. Soon as you walk in, you get a lovely warm welcome. All the staff are so friendly. One thing that lets this restaurant down is the decor, I think they need to update it.

There isn’t a vegan menu, however the vegetarian menu can be adapted to be vegan. They even had vegetarian duck (made with Soya).

Absolutely delicious food served by incredibly friendly staff who couldn't do enough to ensure that our evening was a success. Many thanks.

Food was poor, staff were trying to pressure me into paying a service charge which isn't compulsory. Started speaking loudly saying I'm not paying a service charge maybe in an attempt to embarrass me into paying.
