Reviews in St.Helens

Upon entering the hong sing I immediately felt the urge to phone Peter Andre to ask if the 60 minute makeover team could work their magic!. I've got to admit I'm a good looking fella maybe this is why the staff repeatedly marched up and down staring at myself and my lucky wife. Maybe they done this to check if you had ate all the food you had put on your plate as there was a notice saying that if you didn't eat it all you would be charged £4 on top of your bill for waste!. The sui Mae's where nice as I had to eat 16 of them as the rest of the food was proper rank! . I tried 2 beef courses at least that what it stated, I beg to differ that was beef? Also I pointed out to the Mrs that the bae Marie's was not turned on and maybe this was the reason they were lukewarm, to which one of my little Chinese groupies overheard and ran around turning them on. Then the Michelin star chef came out to check they were on and doing their job keeping the meals at the right temperature advised by health and safety keeping bugs at bay...hmm just a little bit late as I've lost 2 stone visiting my bathroom throne already! Besides all that if your into being stared at like a rare artifact in a museum and your struggling to lose weight get yourself down the hong sing it's great! Bring the kids!

Well today me and my friend came to Hong Sing and was disgusted! We felt uncomfortable as the staff kept watching us eat and even took my friends bowl while still eating,The plates was cold which then made our food cold, we will not be coming again.

Went to the Palace tonight what a waste of £50. The waiters couldn't be bothered, waited half an hour for a menu and forgot about a drink, you could die of thirst. Food was terrible. If your not a regular forget it, you'll get terrible service even had to wait half an hour for the bill.

Must say the food and service was fantastic. Went with friends for a night out, could not fault the place. Staff were excellent will definitely be going back very soon.

I was in there last week the food was great service was quick and friendly. Great place. My experience at the restaurant was wonderful, from the service to the food. Staff were exceptionally kind and patient and constantly checking we were happy with our food. The food was beautifully fresh, I was also pleased with the wide vegetarian options and how authentic the food was. I would definitely be back and reccomend to try it out as they do not disappoint I can assure you.

Great food, great value, great service and great atmosphere, no reservations on booking again and please enjoy. Well done to the owners and staff of the Yang Xing for providing St. Helens with a Premier eating house. Henry - July 2014

Went with the girls from work, just had my tooth out so was not looking forward to eating. I have eaten in many restaurants all over Europe (some even 5*) including Turkey, but can honestly say that was the most enjoyable, fresh tasting delicious food I have had in a very long time. Clean, friendly, efficient and Fabulous, can't wait to go again ,,,,,,yum yum.

Recently visited here good fresh food and prices are good value for money would recommend.

Had a great night at Mr Chans last night for my Wife's 65th birthday. Food and service were excellent as always. The best Chinese restaurant in the north.

Food was lovely at the time however it had been festering for a long time as there were not many customers in. We are both vomiting the next day, yay :( Never again!

Was recommended by a friend who knows my fondness for all things Turkish (well food wise anyway). Fantastic meal (went for £10 special) with superb grilled meats and wonderful accompanments of cous cous and bread to die for. Back here tonight (28th Augusr) where I will be trying a main meal and a starter this time. Best wishes John

My Wife and I are regulars at this place. Foods is fantastic, service is never rushed and the atmosphere is really relaxed. Must recommend the seafood linguine and the calves liver.

This is my family run buisness, my brother works here. I am always greeted with open arms, and open trousers. i come on all special occasions, but unfortunetly am not offered discounts, as they dont like to make it public that i am of any relation to them. because of my eyebrows. i have them plucked you see, not very well though, the left is always bigger than the right. they also meet in the middle, but lets not get into that. its a trademark. all my facial hair connects, hair to beard to mustache to eyebrows to eyelashes, which is quite the hassle. as for those woodlands down below though, sheesh.

Having dined at Chans for over 20 years I would say the experience I get everytime is 2nd to none the food is always fresh and taste's fantastic, Charlie and Loi are always very welcoming hosts and go out of their way to help with any needs you have, I do advise that you book your tables especially for the weekend as is does get busy,I look foward to each time I eat out with the wife even more so when its chans.

Went there recently with a friend, Jan 2013. Will not go back, simple food, over priced - well over priced. Service not too bad. Not the same place as it was a couple of years ago...very disappointed as i hadn't been out with my friend for a while, a big let down.

Have visited this restaurant on many occasions, and have always been impressed with the quality of the food. There is a nice ambiance, the owner(who is almost always in attendance) and his staff are very attentive and friendly.We are particularly impressed with the way they deal with the special dietary requirements for two of our usual party who are stricken with multiple food allergies. A visit here is always an enjoyable experience.

All our family use to come here with our mother for many years, sadly in 1994 our mother pasted away, I moved to another country, & in 2007 I returned to England , we now live in Liverpool we where going out for something to eat so we decided to call at the Charcoal , even though it was very sad for me, with my mother being with us ordering her APPLE PIE & CUSTARD it brought a lot of lovely memories back to me , remembering the good times we had & how very special just going for a meal with someone you love is. The meal was EXCELLENT & of course I had apple pie & custard. Now as we are back living in the North West I certainly will bring my children & grandchildren & carry on the great memories, thank you so much for making my night a night I will never forget. The staff are very helpful it is a great place to have a great meal & very good value for money.

First visited the restaurant last friday and was welcomed and enjoyed the gorgeous food, even though I was stuffed and left a bit. Decided to take the kids back on the sunday and then tonight we got a takeaway!!! the food is amazing, fresh, tasty and healthy. Staff are really welcoming and attentive. 5 stars!!!
