Absolutely fantastic experience at Haidilao
Hot Pot Birmingham! I came with my wife and
son, and everything was perfect – fresh
ngredients, tasty broths and excellent service.
It was my son’s birthday and the staff went
above and beyond: they surprised him with а
fruit salad and candle, sang а birthday song
and even gave him а gift. Не was so happy!
А special thanks to our waiter, Miracle – truly
outstanding: kind, attentive and full of positive
energy. Не made our evening unforgettable.
We left with big smiles – highly recommend
this place and we’ll definitely Ье back!

Went there recently to celebrate my son’s graduation. I have been to China many times and have to say, the Hot pot was pretty authentic. Tasty and a good heat. A few options like duck blood was missing… But a great evening location.

A very chilled night. Great service and no one in a rush to move us on even though it was a Friday evening.

服务员kiki姐长得漂亮，人也特别温柔，有问题会立刻帮我解决。菜品新鲜，味道好吃，一秒梦回国内。

On a trip to Birmingham, decided to try out something new and went to this Hot Pot restaurant just outside the Bullring. Was greeted most enthusiastically at the door by the hostess and this continued throughout the meal. Ordered from the provided electronic tablet and was soon presented with the broth and the various ingredients that you then add yourself to cook within the broth. The two different broths we chose were tasty and all the produce to add was of really good quality. There is a sauce bar where you can mix your own dipping sauces with guides on what to add for the required taste, which is a great idea. Food is part served by a robot serving machine, which travels up and down the restaurant. Great experience and great food. Would like to return again to try out other elements of the menu.

Didn’t know they have halal options! The lamb and chicken were halal when I went there. Service is amazing as always and food is super high quality! Really enjoyed it and will definitely come back for more 🙂

We got the buffet for dinner and it was around £38.99

We visited this restaurant randomly for hotpot for the very first time, and it was a fantastic experience. The ingredients were fresh, the broth was rich and tasty, and there was a wide variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables to choose from.
A big thank you to Leo, who helped me a lot with the menu and guided me through the whole process since it was my first time. He was patient, friendly, and made everything so much easier to enjoy. The service and atmosphere were excellent, and I’d definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try authentic hotpot

Πολύ ωραίο μπουφέ με μεγάλη ποικιλία φαγητών. Βρήκα ότι δοκίμασα πολύ γευστικό. Η τιμή είναι νορμάλ: £20 ανά άτομο χωρίς να συμπεριληφθούν τα ποτά.

We celebrated a birthday at Ming Moon and it was such a fantastic experience. The buffet was absolutely delicious so many choices and everything tasted amazing.

What truly stood out was the atmosphere: fun karaoke, lots of laughter, and the most amazing staff. A huge thank you to Olu and Marigold your kindness, attention, and warm smiles made the day so special. You made everyone feel so welcome!

If you’re looking for a great place to celebrate or enjoy good food with friends, I highly recommend Ming Moon. Can’t wait to visit again! ❤️

Came for the dinner buffet at half 5, we were seated and drinks orders taken straight away. Sooo much food to choose from, constantly being replenished. Really enjoyed it and will definitely be back soon!

Lovely buffet would recommend to anyone who loves Asian food, amazing buffet for dates, family outings or just if you feel like a cheeky buffet. Wide array of options and really lovely live cooking sections. Highly recommended!

The food and atmosphere were both excellent me and my girlfriend really enjoyed the meal and the setting. However, the service was disappointing. When we politely asked to change tables, the server responded with visible frustration and even raised their voice at us, making us feel like we were being scolded rather than served. It was uncomfortable and completely unnecessary. We were simply trying to enjoy some quality time together, but the staff’s attitude made us feel rushed and unwelcome. It really detracted from what could have been a perfect dining experience.

Food was delicious and plenty of choice. Staff very friendly and polite. I will definitely be returning

The buffet experience at your restaurant was sumptuous and explosive, having to try different kinds of dishes and finding the tastes so perfect and delicious was lit for my partner and I . Would definitely recommend to others and be back again . However, the strawberry cocktail was a less for me considering the alcohol concentration being too high and that kind of killed the fruity flavor for me .

We celebrated my birthday over the weekend and decided to have dinner at lulu wild. The experience at best was surreal. Even though we were a few minutes late for the appointment we were taken to our table right away. The atmosphere was aesthetic and lively. Love the low lights and decor. The service was excellent with both providing high quality service. The food was incredible- this is the first time we had the wontons and were blown away by the taste. They have a wide selection of dim sums, bao and wontons. The mains were also good especially the noodles were one of the best in the city. They are very particular with their allergy specs. We made them aware of our shellfish allergy and after placing our order they came back and told us one of the wontons might have traces of shellfish and helped us choose another starter. Prices were a bit on the higher side but definitely value for money given the quantity and quality. Lulu made my birthday special with a small complimentary dessert. All in all a perfect end to a perfect day at lulu wild. Must visit!

Ps. I do feel they should add more options In their mains.

Went out for my boyfriend’s birthday and decided to do the bottomless. Food was excellent, especially the duck rolls and stir fry chicken in black bean sauce. Service provided my Megan was amazing. Would definitely recommend. Food was great and service was incredible. Thank you lulu wild 🙂 xx

The food was actually so insanely good, I celebrated with my girlfriend for my birthday and this great staff member Kristian gave respectable and kind service to us. The drinks (Lychee Martini and China Gold – 2 absolutely beautifully made drinks) were made by him and I was actually impressed. Best lowkey atmosphere and honestly made my birthday experience great. Also the Wok Fried Rib Eye in Black Bean and the Stir Fried Shredded Chicken Noodles were absolutely bangers. 10/10 would recommend to go again

We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary at Lulu Wild and had an amazing experience. The shared steamed dumpling platter was a perfect start, with fish, chicken, scallop, and vegetarian dumplings all delicious. We also loved the Firecracker Squid.

For mains, my wife had the Wagyu Beef while I enjoyed the Spicy Prawn Coconut Curry with cashews and basmati rice beautifully cooked and full of flavour.

The food was outstanding, presentation was elegant, and the service was warm and welcoming. A perfect spot for a special occasion!

Went for the Saturday bottomless brunch to celebrate a birthday, service was very quick and Dilip was really great as a waiter, no shortage of drinks and food was amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Went there with colleagues for Brunch on a Thursday. It was really calm, atmosphere is great and pretty. The food was good, we went for the brunch menu. My main was chicken and the side of noodles was massive. Both tasty. I got a mocktail that was also tasting good. Overall great experience and the staff was nice.

We went for a birthday meal on Friday evening (6pm). It wasn’t too crowded or busy at that time. Food came out quickly and it was nice, everyone enjoyed their food. This is my 2nd going and I will go back again. Kashan was our server, he was really nice, polite and attentive to our needs as a table (5 of us). On the booking form I did click on the birthday option but they didn’t do anything, so not sure if they offer anything for birthdays. The place isn’t the cheapest, everything we ate and drank came up around £200 for 5 people.

Buffet Island offers great value for money, delicious food, and a wonderful atmosphere. It’s a place I would happily recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch Chinese buffet in Birmingham. They had a vast selection of delicious food. However, for me, the prawns were a definite highlight – perfectly cooked, succulent, and full of flavour, it was hard not to go back for seconds and thirds. The dessert bar had a variety cakes, paired with creamy ice cream, which was the ideal end to the meals. The restaurant has a warm and inviting feel, making it a comfortable spot for a family dinner, a meal with friends, or a casual date night. Adding to the pleasant environment were the staff, who were consistently nice and friendly, always ready with a smile and quick to clear plates, ensuring the dining experience was smooth and pleasant from start to finish.

I love everything about this place! ❤️ The atmosphere is amazing, and so is the food and service! ️ They even have sushi and an ice cream machine! It’s been a tradition in my family for ages that if it’s someone’s birthday, we always go over there, and I think that just goes to show how much me and my family really like it! 5 stars, no explanation needed!

Haven’t been here for a few years.

The food was amazing…..it was hot and topped up continuously
Everything was lovely

The place itself was very clean and staff would wipe up any spills immediately

Staff were very polite

A really nice place to eat
Would definitely recommend

We will definitely be going back here.

食物款式多，好味，有三文魚刺身。
生日會有一件蛋糕及播生日歌！
地板不是十分乾淨，可再改善

是英國中部少有供應三文魚刺身的餐廳，其他食物以中式熱盤為主，味道不錯
唯泊車車位較窄較少，衛生一般

Fantastic establishment with a vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere although it can get slightly overwhelming when very busy but otherwise great. The food was fantastic and freshly cooked and the staff are very polite and welcoming. Would highly recommend for people who don’t mind a bit of volume on busier days and want a warm welcome followed with tasty fresh food.

第一次在英國食到一間有三文魚刺身既餐廳 食物水準佳，食物keep住熱辣香脆，新鮮。食物味道佳，選擇眾多。員工服務有禮，十分欣賞，值得推薦。

This is the best restaurant, everything is fresh and full of flavour, it honestly puts Chinatown to shame. I’ve been here several times and I’ve never been disappointed. I appreciate that they always find space to fit us in despite how busy they get! All the staff are friendly, welcoming and attentive. I think the prices are very fair considering they have high quality products. I am a picky eater yet I clear my plate every time I come here . Already planning my next trip here

Cosy, clean and friendly family-run place. Lots of regulars always coming in and out. Food is deliciously tasty, generous portions and very reasonably priced. A go-to for comfort food Asian style!

Easily the best chinese food in Brum! Incredible friendly service, the crispiest chilli beef and chicken I’ve eaten, and overall super tasty food that the camera doesn’t do justice. Make sure you order the honey soy wings!

Will definitely be going back to this hidden gem!

What an absolutely fantastic experience at Wok Chi! From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional and went above and beyond our expectations.

We had just finished shopping at Waitrose and came in with some ice creams that needed to stay frozen. When we asked our host if they could store them in their freezer, he was more than happy to help and handled our request with such politeness and warmth.

The host’s food recommendations were spot on – everything he suggested was delicious and perfectly suited our tastes. What really impressed us was his attention to detail: when we ordered wontons, he thoughtfully provided an extra one so they could be divided equally between us. It’s these small gestures that show genuine care for the customer experience.

The food quality was outstanding, and the entire atmosphere was welcoming and friendly. The staff clearly take pride in what they do, and it shows in every aspect of the dining experience.

We’ll definitely be returning to Wok Chi and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for excellent food paired with truly exceptional service. It’s rare to find a restaurant that combines great cuisine with such thoughtful hospitality.

Can’t wait for our next visit!

First time I visited and I must say the food was impressive. Service was timely really good. The food was outstanding. Although there is a small amount of tables, booking is advisable.
Visited again and the food / service was fabulous

I visited with an old friend for an overdue catch up a couple of nights ago and we really did choose well. From the moment I walked in (my friend was parking the car) Alfie the owner was smiling and friendly offering drinks and water. The food was stunning with some of the best gyoza I have ever eaten and the crispy beef is perfect. We also ate squid and scallops with prawns which were delightful. A small restaurant with a genuine emphasis on excellent food and service. The wine kept coming even after we had paid the bill which was very generous and after a lovely chat with Alfie he helped me into the car as I’m waiting for a new knee!! All in all a wonderful experience which will be repeated very soon. A gem on the high street.

Warm welcome by the owner who politely seated us at our table. Food was very nice and served to us promptly, the plates looks amazing especially our favourite dish the lime seafood rice. The ramen was very authentic and flavoursome. We definitely recommend it

Honestly impeccable. The staff was nice and attentive. The food was SO good. They have a very large menu with set menus, vegetarian options and more. The Mango Pudding we had for dessert was a bit too simple but definitely recommend all the rest. We shared a starter, got a main and dessert for around £20 pp.

I had pork noodles, my wife had crispy pork with rice alongside Wanton Soup. With pepsi as the drink. The drinks were great 500ml in tall glasses. I liked my pork noodles, the portion is massive and it’s best in buffet. I had to take it back in a doggy bag. The crispy pork was lovely too. My wife thought the wantons in the soup were not seasoned enough and it did feel.like this. The service was good and felt quick.

Salty Fish & Chicken Rice was delicious & tasted fresh and was well cooked. Service was quick and friendly. Portion sizes were decent and prices reasonable. The only slight negative part was the male toilet, the door lock handle needs fixing. Overall, a nice experience.

여러 중국음식점을 가봤지만 여기가 1등입니다. 주방장의 내공이 뛰어납니다. 고기는 입에서 녹을 정도로 부드럽고 간이 딱 맞습니다. 디너 코스를 먹었는데 맛과 양 모두 만족스럽습니다.

A great little restaurant in china town. The service was efficient and prompt and the drinks and food came out in good time. Great tasting hot food. We sat out in the terrace which was like a nicely done up garden verandah with lights and fans. Great all round

I recently visited Chung Ying in Birmingham and was pleasantly surprised by how well they cater to vegetarians—especially when it comes to dim sum. As someone who often finds veggie options to be a bit of an afterthought at Chinese restaurants, Chung Ying was a refreshing exception.

Their vegetarian dim sum menu is genuinely thoughtful, not just the usual spring rolls and tofu. The standout for me was the vegetable cheung fun—silky rice noodle rolls filled with perfectly seasoned mushrooms and greens, drizzled with a sweet soy sauce that tied everything together beautifully. The vegetarian siu mai and spinach dumplings were also excellent: delicate, flavorful, and clearly made with care.

What I appreciated most was that nothing felt like a compromise. Every dish was well-balanced and satisfying, with textures and flavors that made each bite interesting. Even the dipping sauces were spot on, complementing the dishes rather than overpowering them.

The setting is classic and bustling, which adds to the charm, and the staff were friendly and helpful when I asked about which dim sum were vegan vs vegetarian.

If you’re vegetarian and love dim sum—or have felt left out at traditional dim sum spots—Chung Ying is absolutely worth a visit.

Exactly what I hoped for craving some good Chinese food. Lots of vegan & gluten free options. Fast service. Good size portions. So yummy. Friendly funny staff. Would recommend for sure, especially if you’re vegan or gluten free.

Got the Special Curry with rice, Large portion of the Four Meats and a side of egg fried rice and salt and pepper chips.

The Special curry was easily the best ive ever eaten, The four meats yet again were top tier and despite the angry reviews about people saying it’s served cold, that’s how it is meant to be served and that’s how it is best eaten. If it had been heated up it wouldn’t have been as nice as it was so just accept that fact and stop complaining. Salt and Pepper chips were fresh and tasted perfect, aswell as the rice.
Top notch

After more than ten years of regularly lunching and dining at this restaurant — over at least 150 visits by my count — I am disheartened to say that tonight’s dinner was the worst experience I’ve ever had here.

I used to be a loyal and satisfied customer, with even my most recent visit last weekend being decent. But what I encountered today was simply unacceptable. The roasted pork was visibly burnt and had a harsh, bitter flavour that overpowered the dish. The stir-fried chives with egg barely contained any chives at all — what few there were had been overcooked beyond recognition, and onions were used as a poor substitute. The dish bore little resemblance to the appealing photo on the menu.

To make matters worse, the Chinese tea was stale and unpleasant, with a musty, almost spoiled flavour. The accompanying vegetables were fibrous, yellowed, and extremely difficult to chew or swallow. The only redeeming item was the fried rice, which was just passable.

I genuinely hope this was an isolated incident, but unless there is an honest explanation or some acknowledgment of what went wrong, I no longer feel inclined to return. The experience was not only disappointing — it was physically distressing. I had to leave the restaurant before finishing the meal due to an upset stomach, which is something I’ve never experienced here before.

For a place I once trusted and frequently recommended, this has been a very unfortunate and upsetting decline.

Came here with four colleagues and we all ordered the four-meat dish with egg fried rice. The service was impressively quick, and it was great to see all the food freshly prepared and cut right in the open kitchen—you can watch everything being made.

The food was delicious and generously portioned, especially considering the amount of meat you get. Great value for money!

I sometimes come here to buy duck to take away, and sometimes we stay to eat at the restaurant because our child really loves the duck here, even though it takes me two hours by train to get here. In the past, the sauce was always served separately, but this time the duck was brought out on two plates with the sauce already poured on. Since our child cannot eat the sauce, I politely asked the man if he could change one plate for us without sauce (especially as they didn’t ask me beforehand about putting the sauce on). However, the man spoke in Vietnamese with unpleasant words and a rude attitude, making it seem as though it was my fault for not saying something earlier. I was only making a simple request, but his manner was very unfriendly. I also don’t know how he translated this to the younger man, but instead of having an enjoyable meal that our family had been looking forward to, we ended up feeling uncomfortable and unable to enjoy the food because of his attitude.

Very good HK style BBQ restaurant. Friendly team. Payment take cash and Chinese RMB. I always get takeaway whenever in Birmingham.

Surely not the best cantonese style cuisines, but truly good enough to worth the quids. Consider trying the succulent roasted duck. Dont forget to bag up the sauce for your home meal next day.

愛吃燒臘的我倆光是看到上菜就開心極了，開吃後更是興奮，就是這個味道，叉燒、油雞、燒鴨、燒肉，樣樣對味，皮酥肉嫩，加上油蔥醬，好吃到不行！

Wunderbar duftende und herzhafte Brühe, zart geschmortes Hühnchen und handgezogene Nudeln.
Der Pilzsalat war die perfekte Vorspeise, und die gehobelten Kartoffeln mit rotem Öl definitiv interessant. Die Vorspeisen sind groß genug zum Teilen. Sehr faire Preise und freundlicher Service – wir kommen gern wieder!

Busy small family restaurant with exceptionaly good noodles. I ate Deznou stir fried chicken with original flavour ant it was excellent apart from the fact that crushed chicken bones were in my food.

Braised chicken is a must-try! The biangbiang noodles are also fantastic and the perfect chewy texture. Even better with black vinegar. Love this place and the friendly staff!

The highlight was definitely the fresh-made noodles they were delicious, with a perfect texture and rich flavor. The quality of the food stood out, and you could tell it was freshly prepared. Beyond the great food, the service was excellent. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and l’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic, flavorful noodles and great service.

Very quick easy cheap incredible food.
Noodles are tasty and great texture and fresh.
Tried a cold and hot tea, cold tea was the one for me. The soup was really good also.

Visited here before the theatre for some hand stretched noodles and to try some Dezhou chicken. The restaurant is very small but service is fast. Noodles are super tasty and the Dezhou chicken melted like butter and was so full of flavour. This is a must visit spot if you are in the area and love noodles

Humble noodle shop in Birmingham Chinatown …Authentic Hand Pulled Noodles with Excellent melt in the mouth Braised Chicken..Tofu Veg Biang Biang noodles were delicious as well..Homely and friendly service..bang on the buck.

在一段英國旅行之後，真的很需要吃一些中式美食，價格經濟實惠，店員也很客氣，食物的素質也都不錯。

Un restaurant japonais qui ferme a 20h. Arrivés a 19h50 nous avons été reçu et prévenus que la cuisine fermait. Il fallait manger vite.
Accueil froid et service un peu bâclé pour que l’on parte. Les plats étaient cependant bons. Pas eu le temps de prendre un dessert. Prix normal !

This is definitely one of my favourite restaurants in chinatown. The food is always great and the service is nice, welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere is lovely and food is well priced. I highly recommend you try this place out as it’s very well maintained and accessible to all kinds of people who want to visit

Traditional HK style yum cha. Foods are really good and always busy. My first choice for yum cha in Birmingham.

Everything we ordered was delicious, we shared 3 dishes and perfect. People is very nice here

服務員沒有禮貌。

請求要一張鄰桌沒用到的椅子放置剛在街市購買的新鮮蔬菜，一個簡單要求被服務員即時拒絕。四人枱不能有五張椅，四位客人必須坐四人枱，即使有其他吉枱吉椅亦不可用，解決方法是把新鮮蔬菜放在地上或放在枱上。我們選擇用半張四人枱放置剛買的新鮮蔬菜。

食品質素亦比以往差，其中點了一碟蟹肉乾燒伊麵，得到的是蟹柳絲加洋蔥絲炒油面。

I had a wonderful belly filling experience at Ken Ho! Their dim sum is absolutely delicious, and every other dish I tried, especially the soup, really hit the spot. After a long and tiring day, the food here gave me the boost I needed and left me feeling relaxed and satisfied. The atmosphere is perfect for gatherings with friends or family, and the chefs clearly know what they’re doing. The staff were friendly, helpful, and cute. If you like this kind of Chinese food, you should definitely come and give it a try!

Well, the chair did give me a bit of back pain, but I’m hanging in there, haha!

味道還不錯的港式餐廳！每個份量都超大～主食像是炒飯等等，若沒有很餓，可以三個人分著吃，如果很餓，可以兩個人分！味道都不錯 其中牛柳是糖醋口味，滿喜歡的～～只是他們有一道飯上錯了，最後端上來時，我們說真的吃不下，已經非常飽，服務員就端走～但結帳時， 雖然送錯的餐點沒算錢，但卻把沒吃的錢加上了！？後來提醒後才更改金額，送錯的就算我們的。希望店家不是故意的。畢竟服務和餐點都不錯呢

因為店休星期三嘅關係,今日終於有機會試到。不過,真係食物嘅質素有啲失望,但價錢比酒樓優惠。

香煎蘿蔔糕 ：還好
燒賣 ：夠實,但個人覺得味道比較淡
叉燒腸粉：腸粉夠滑，不錯不錯
XO醬豬扒炒麵：脆麵底,但完全沒有XO醬味道,可能太多芽菜關係,令整碟麵太多水分

老闆娘服務不錯，可是樓面比較不專業，戴著耳機工作

Kinda love this place, food was nice and the price was amazing. Friendly no fuss atmosphere too. And they had puer cha too so that’s a win in my book

Visited on a weekday. A small Chinese restaurant with not too many tables. Better reserve one in advance for holiday dining. Dim sum food was generally good. But fried noodle appeared too salty.

This place appeared under staff.

I love the fact that you get your own pot of soup so you don’t mix with your parties and you can also choose your own soup base. It’s very affordable for an all you can eat hot pot. Great customer service, the owner was so friendly and accommodating. The only negative thing I found here was that they don’t have a great selection of toppings and I noticed some items weren’t as fresh anymore (mostly vegetables as well). Nonetheless it’s still a great spot to pig out with your friends.

Got steamed dumplings and server who took our order moved very fast and was friendly. The food came at a reasonable time and the food tasted very good.

The issue occurred when we went up to pay. First we randomly got charged for tap water. When we questioned it, the server (who was on the phone) didn’t fully even listen to our question then just said okay never mind it and lowered our bill but it still was more than what was expected so we still pointed to where the mistake was and the server said okay mistake and told us she gave us the bill for a different table. While still on the phone she gave us a new bill (which was still wrong) because we were in a rush we just paid and left.

Did not take card, only bank transfer as well. Experience ruined by the end, we just wanted leave as soon as we could. Shame 🙁

Found this place via a spontaneous Google search and my word…it’s probably the best Chinese that I’ve personally eaten at. My girlfriend and I ordered a variety of Dim Sum and a plate of Beef Ho Fun each and the Dim Sum was the best Dim Sum we have eaten, whilst the Ho Fun was full of flavour and the texture was gorgeous.

I would highly recommend a visit to this place!
