Only Yu - Review - Chinatown - Manchester - The Infatuation

"A small entrance in the heart of Manchester’s Chinatown belies Only Yu's sprawling, two-floor maze of clinking crockery and lazy susans. Green tea is poured into china cups as you’re confronted with the challenge of tackling the extensive Cantonese menu, and the buzz of large groups of students and families in conversation fills your ears. The good news is, Only Yu excels in two key areas, dim sum and seafood, so focus your ordering there. The sea bass steamed in ginger and spring onion comfortably feeds three people, and the flesh arrives opalescent and tender. Know that fried dim sum and cheung fun are only served until 5pm, so go at lunch to experience the signature seafood cheung fun. Its appearance is alluringly candy-like, almost the colour of tuna sashimi, and it's even more satisfying to eat. photo credit: Tajda Ferko photo credit: Tajda Ferko photo credit: Tajda Ferko Pause Unmute" - Joel Hart

honestly the best in town! My family and I go there regularly – more than twice a month – and every single time, the food is amazing. It’s always fresh, full of flavour, and served hot. We’ve never been disappointed, not even once. The char siu is especially good, with generous portions that are perfect for sharing. The atmosphere is lively yet welcoming, making it a great spot for family meals. Consistently great food and service – no wonder we keep coming back!

Recommend this place 5/5, Can't even count and be sure of how many times I've exactly been here for! It's rather simple to me, consistency throughout the months, and quality plates as always. Whether I am going there with my family, or would it be ordering a takeaway three roast rice for myself, or going there with colleagues in a group of 8+ people, I still enjoyed the time having a pleasant meal there! To be honest, the waiting time for a table and plates is minimal, can make a reservation beforehand to prevent the hassle, and even if it gets a bit busier during weekends and lunchtime, it was worth the wait regardless 😋 👌🙏🏼Staff are very kind and friendly, the heartfelt service is very well received.

Firstly, the atmosphere here is very cozy and it seems like a hidden gem, with cute decorations in the restaurant and a chill and relaxed vibe. We ordered black bean chicken feet, roast duck over rice, prawn and chive dumplings and the rainbow crystal parcels. The chicken feet were soft and melt in the mouth with a delicious sauce, not chewy or gristly at all. The duck was the best roast duck I've had in Manchester, the skin was deliciously crispy and it was so juicy and tender with a rich flavour. The dim sum dishes were also very good. The value for money is great, our meal cost under £40 for a really decent amount of food! I'd definitely recommend coming here and I can't wait to try more of the menu.

I went yesterday with my best friend and a few of her family members and I absolutely loved it! We could not stop eating. The food was top level quality. We will go again today because we want to eat as much of the dimsum from this place as possible while in Manchester. Also great service and lovely atmosphere a great experience all round.

Great place for lunch - and dim sum!! My wife wanted to try some Chinese food and THIS was the place! We had the 1/4 crispy duck and crepes, shrimp, pork and beef dumplings and tea. A wonderful tasty lunch for two people!

As a Cantonese, this is probably the most authentic food I’ve ever had in UK.. you can taste that it’s all handmade dim sum (hence be a little patient for the dishes to come). Very attentive service and very reasonably priced.

Had a very enjoyable and authentic lunch here. The staff were very friendly and speedy and the food itself was absolutely delicious. If you want an authentic taste of Chinese cuisine, then look no further than Only Yu. I shall be returning to sample so many of the other things I didn't get to try. The only down side was having to wait to be seated, but that was due to the fact that the place is so busy which, for me, is a good sign. However, the wait is worth it.
