Get Your Sweet, Sour and Spice On at the Best Chinese Restaurants in Leeds
"Many of the reviews for Wen's praise the restaurant's "authentic" dishes which have proved to be a high hit. One man left a glowing review after his first visit. He said: "Flavour was great throughout; rich and rewarding, but with enough subtleties to keep things delicate - my lamb had a well-judged level of chilli, and was lean and moist."
"Wens is a new addition to Leeds’ dining scene, and they have already made the mark with tourists, locals, even a famous critic. Taking over Hansa’s North street space, Wens specialise in authentic family Chinese cooking. The Dan Dan noodles, dumplings, and Kung Po Chicken are all musts."
"This is your chance to try authentic Chinese dishes that rarely make it to these shores. Have you ever tried shredded potatoes covered in glugs of fiery chilli oil?. Or tucked into a whole sea bass stuffed with minced pork and chilli sauce?"
"This unfussy Chinese restaurant on Gower Street, just outside the city centre, received great praise for its dim sum. One reviewer said: "Fantastic food, just as good as London and Manchester Chinatown, even better. Always freshly made."
"Pulling no punches, Cantonese outfit, Crown, is the Leeds home hot pots, dim sum and a selection of roast meats."
"If you like Chinese food, Canton Flavour is one of the best takeaways in Leeds. They don’t deliver, you have to collect, but it’s definitely worth the extra effort. Their menu is organised by whether it’s spicy, mild or fruity, so you can find something to suit your palate."
"Although customers can collect their takeaway, Monkey King Chinese also has a delivery service. Customers say that their food arrives in a timely manner and that it is always hot on delivery. Other positive points raised are the friendly customer service and the good quality of the tasty food."
"05/04/2021: Have been looking for a good Chinese for a while, and hopefully we have found it at last. The food was really good and delivery was really quick. Will certainly be using them again."
"They’re made fresh in house every day and they keep things interesting by switching up the flavours, so there’s always something new to try. Take the Lucky Charms donut for an example. This epic ball donut is deep-fried, stuffed with marshmallow and covered in vanilla fudge icing before they top it with that all-important Lucky Charms cereal to create a sweet and sticky treat like nothing you’ve had before."
"Krispy Kreme is an internationally beloved donut shop and you can get a taste of their famous sweet treats in Trinity Leeds. They’ve been perfecting their Original Glazed Donut for over 75 years, so you can bet it’s lip-smackingly good. Sweet, crisp and fluffy in all the right places, take a bite and it almost melts in your mouth."
"Whether it’s a single doughnut or a sharers dozen box, no matter what type of doughnut you love, Krispy Kreme has them."
"Resident on Coldbath Road, Manna Bakery recently extended its premises to a few doors down from its original location, transforming their grab ‘n go bakery to a lovely cafe. Manna Bakery have the best fresh produce and exciting breakfast menu items – the smell of freshly-baked bread and brownies hits you before you even walk through the door!. They have their own take on a few breakfast classics, and the flavours definitely don’t fall short."
"Local produce gets a Mediterranean makeover at this bright and breezy bistro. Classic pizza and pasta dishes are complemented by more ambitious recipes such as crayfish and chorizo risotto, and Moroccan lamb..."
"This bare, plain drinking space – stripped wooden floor, blue and cream colour scheme, Celtic cross logo – looks a bit like an O'Neill's, but the beer range is worlds away from the Oirish chain. Ten hand-pulls concentrate on Yorkshire and northern breweries, such as Isle of Man outfit Okells (owned by same people as Brigantes' parent company, Market Town Taverns), York Brewery (which Brigantes backs on to), and Great Heck Brewing, a micro much-loved in this part of the world, which produces Mo Hops (half, £1.78), a very interesting supercharged best bitter. Seven keg pumps deliver a mixture of classic continental and innovative craft beers, with a short, solid bottled menu (Nøgne Ø, Flying Dog) further ensuring that every drinker leaves happy."
"On a street that is notorious for its Saturday-night drunken revelry, Brigantes is a wood-panelled haven of peace and sophistication, with hand-pulled ales (mostly from Yorkshire) on tap and a dining room that..."
