Have you tried our Vegan food menu at Chung Ying Cantonese Restaurant, Birmingham China Town? We offer over 90 Vegan dishes.

Veganism has taken the world by storm, fast becoming a lifestyle that is preferred by many as a way to do their bit for animals, the environment and their health. Whilst many might think veganism is a new trend, its popularity spans centuries and has been at the basis of many ancient civilisations. Chinese cuisine includes every day vegan staples such as tofu, soy, vegetables, seitan, rice and egg-free noodles, making it a go-to for many vegans.

We are proud to offer an extensive selection of vegan dishes, designed by our highly acclaimed chefs.

‘’Excellent service and food - this place has got better! The service was excellent and we had food that was totally vegan which tasted great! The vegan share platter, chung fun with spring onions, vegan duck and pack cakes and vegan chicken were all amazing! We have been coming here for years to eat dim sum but it was the first time we had tried the vegan menu and we didn’t miss the meat at all! We look forward to booking our next visit soon!’’

Some of our latest dishes include:
Salt & Chilli Vegan Chicken Wings
Crispy Chilli Vegan Beef
Vegan Lamb in Cumin
Vegan Dry Beef Ho Fun
Vegan Yeung Chow Fried Rice

We knew we had the best dumplings in the country and now it’s official. Our Dim Sum menu has more than 100 varieties and is the largest in the country."

We use gluten free substitutes in the ingredients, eg. gluten free soy sauce. All our batter is made using potato starch and rice flour which are gluten free.

We have a separate gluten free menu with over 60 choices, in fact we think we might have the largest gluten free selection in the UK! View here - to see a sample of our gluten free menu.

Often families tell us that they take their children to eat at Chung Ying after they had such happy memories of when their parents used to take them when they were growing up.

Recently we had a reservation with 4 generations of Chung Ying fans who visited, great grandparents, grandparents, mum & dad and children and that got us thinking…… are there Chung Ying customers who visit us with an even greater number of generations than 4?
