Chung Ying Garden is one of the biggest Chinese restaurants in Birmingham.

They do superb dim sum for lunch. Very wide range of choice and pretty affordable. We pay usually about £10 a head.

I have mixed experience for main dishes: some very good, some very very average. If you want to enjoy the place to full, I am afraid you have to know how to pick the dishes. My tactics are to avoid the most common Cantonese dishes that you normally see at the Chinese takeaway and go for more adventurous one. It is usually rewarded. (This advice, of course, for those who find Chinese takeaway food boring).

To me, the major set back of Chung Ying Garden is the decor: it is very dark and some parts look rather shabby. But, some friends do not agree with me, so judge it by yourself.

And, don't confuse Chung Ying Garden and Chung Ying: the latter is not as good as CY Garden and even shabbier.
