For decades Chung Ying has been a landmark at the heart of Birmingham’s Chinatown. Credited as the catalyst for the development of the area it was the original restaurant in a zone that has since become a highly popular part of the city.
There are hundreds of dishes, incorporating all manner of meats, sauces and preparations. If you are indecisive and popping in for a quick lunch, you may want to clear the diary for the afternoon.
The Chung Ying team are all extremely polite and knowledgeable taking time to talk you through recommendations and any questions which is particularly useful when experimenting with new dishes.
A banquet can either crash into a series of platters of greasy lookalike stir-fries, or compose itself into a joyful spread of singular but harmonising dishes. Well Happy New Year to me, it's the latter.
The restaurant has been serving Cantonese fare at the heart of Chinatown since 1981, and is very popular with Birmingham's Chinese community - both resident and visiting.
