Young Cheng (Shaftesbury Ave)

Young Cheng, for the price, is the best chinese restaurants I've been to. I only tried the Shaftesbury one though. I never have spent more than £7 with service. It's great !

I don't care about the service for this range of price. It is efficient enough and quick.

Pizza express's service is not better. (their food neither) still much more expensive

The atmosphere is just what want when you go to a good value chinese restaurant...

As a group of eight we were seated upstairs on a large table. The place was busy but lacked atmosphere and the waiters need to cheer up, they looked miserable. The service was efficient and the food arrived in good time. The quality was generally disappointing and seemed to be the standard batter rich and sweet style of an average Chinese take away. The chicken and lemon dish was not good. The singapore rice noodle dish had way to much pepper or spice added which spoilt it. Would I recommend it - no

This Young Cheng is one of three quite distinctly different Young Chengs. The one on Wardour Street is the buffet branch, though they also do a la carte, and the Lisle St do a range of dim sums as well as a slightly different menu to this one.

This branch is the busiest and at lunchtime you should expect to "share table". In return it does a free bone soup, and a main plateful of rice or noodles with a long variety of possible options. Service is busy and efficient, the ladies must be fit as chairs and tables quite close together. The place is crowded by Chinese people and local workers. It is a good place at lunch for good fast wok cooking and usual barbecued meat and rice options, plus some malaysian recipes. I do not recognise the review of an £8.90 minimum charge and a meal including turnips listed below, but have only ever been here at lunchtime for the lunch menu, which is very good value.
