Authentic and brilliant value, especially for groups of 3 or more. Try the "Grilled Fish" (Jian Hong Yu)]]> Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:22:42 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1k4fp8/young-cheng/1y5xf81723444032 rfinean 51.511195417205 -0.13236034152964 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1k4fp8/young-cheng/1u3sz8

During Winter I love my soup, natures penicillin and a comforting pick-me up. This joint is tops, because at lunchtime you get a free bowl of the homemade stuff. Forget ordering the tea, its undainty & tastebud stomping. In one hot sip the soup will have you under its spell while you wait for your meal to arrive in double-quick time.. Made with whole ginger, greens and Sweeney Todd sized bones - they must have a vat of plenty down below - it's the dogs ball-o-kos. Service is as fast as Daphne from Heroes without the groovy haircut. The place is clean, mighty clean and the turnover quick-quick-quick. Usually full of Chinese, the soup is a cross-cultural lure tapping into something primal. The Duck and pickled cabbage is good. Most of the food is pretty fine, not top-top quality but straight forward & filling. Get there for the soup and the rest is a bonus.]]> Sat, 17 Jan 2009 14:09:53 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1k4fp8/young-cheng/1u3sz81461924038 stantoncarlisle 51.511195417205 -0.13236034152964 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1k4fp8/young-cheng/1m4gg8

Good place for vegetarians, as Young Chen has a good selection of veggie choices in the buffet - broccoli, zucchini, corn, mushrooms and 2-3 vegetarian stir fries served with rice, good quality noodles and oven baked potato slices are all on offer. The food is hot and well presented and the restaurant is always spotlessly clean which is a big plus. I have been here a couple of times and it's never packed to the brim, so the atmosphere is relaxed and laid back, although they make a point of quickly take away your plate when you've finished which can be a bit off-putting(don't worry though, you can always go back for more). They have a good selection of teas as well which I would recommend.]]> Tue, 02 Sep 2008 14:32:12 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1k4fp8/young-cheng/1m4gg81604084454 izolda chinese cheap eat good value 51.511195417205 -0.13236034152964 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1k4fp8/young-cheng/1y29i8

This was a staple of my student days.

Cheap good food (rice comes with your main dish).

Expect to get squeezed against someone you don't know. You can't snaek in the back door anymore to avoid the que in the front. Chinese have the luxury of ordering from the more interesting Chinese menu (there seem to be lots of different menus in this place).

Tip: ask for the ginger sauce that comes in a little side dish - delicious with Chinese Broccoli and tofu.

Favourite dish: Salt and Pepper Squid yummmmmmmmmmmmm. ]]> Thu, 17 Jul 2008 23:51:23 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1k4fp8/young-cheng/1y29i8460632506 alaburb crowded cheap eat chinese 51.511195417205 -0.13236034152964 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1k4fp8/young-cheng/1p39h8

Great place for a quick chinese upstairs. Fantastic bowls of noodles, meat and veg.

Downstairs I have entertained various groups of people with the crispy pigs intestines.

Once sat next to an English guy who said this was the only place that compared to Hong Kong where he spent most of his time working.]]> Wed, 02 Jul 2008 10:46:24 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1k4fp8/young-cheng/1p39h8359514213 ajwilcox lively good value chinese crowded 51.511195417205 -0.13236034152964 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1k4fp8/young-cheng/1t3188

My favourite cheap Chinese restaurant - usually near capacity full, and that's not surprising. The pork bellies being chopped & served by the guy in the window are especially tempting and I have never been disappointed by it. The fried squid is good too.

The service is speedy and efficient, the restaurant itself clean and bright, and the prices more than reasonable.]]> Thu, 22 Mar 2007 12:45:26 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1k4fp8/young-cheng/1t31881876050819 qwghlm 51.511195417205 -0.13236034152964
