  Three friends decided to go for a Chinese meal yesterday 18th September 2010 and went to my favourite the little Yan Sing in Manchester, as they had no free tables they recommended we went to their sister restaurant the Pan Asia which we did. What a disaster and big mistake that was, no wonder they had room for a table of three! The restaurant is designed to be trendy/modern with televisions everywhere and a water feature wall as you walk in, but very noisy and cramped but not a problem as many basement Chinese restaurants are. I will just give one example as the whole meal/evening was a terrible experience. We looked at the menu and decided to opt for the special set menu (3 courses) as it looked tempting with a good selection for £18 each, plus £3 extra each if you opted for the Crispy Duck and pancakes as a middle coarse which we did in place of the spare ribs. The spare ribs are on the menu at £7.50 so by adding the £3.00 extra charge means you are paying £10.50 for the Duck as their were three of us, that made £31.50 we were paying for the duck. The duck on the menu is £29.00 for a whole duck, £16 for half, and £8.50 for a quarter. What do you think we got? Well not even a quarter and that was so small, dry, burnt, cold and over cooked it was inedible. We had to ask for plates and plum sauce, and wait for them, we complained to the waitress and got no where, asked for the manager and suddenly he could not understand English! The main meals were also incorrect/inedible and poor to put it mildly. I could not eat/chew mine so left it. Tables all around were complaining about service, food and the whole place seemed to be a total shambles, the staff were at best incompetent and the when we eventually got the bill they had added a service charge, we did not want to pay this, but given the problems it was agreed to just get out of the place, we had to go to the till to try and pay, after paying while putting our coats on, heard the next customer paying say, “and I am not paying for service we didn’t get any” Stay away, go to little Yan Sing, or Wings this place is the worst experience I have had in Chinese restaurant for as long as I care to remember, a waste of nearly £90.9/19/2010 10:42:52 AM
