Excellent authentic Chinese food. This isn't exactly what you would expect for a UK Chinese and they serve up much more authentic fair here. No cash but you can pay using bank transfer. Servings are huge as well.
My only complaint is that I wish the 地三鲜 had more eggplant and less potato. Still some of the best I have had outside China!
This is a hidden gem, food is amazing, cash only so take cash. Staff are lovely. Definitely worth a visit if in York.
Surprise gem!
Don't judge a book by it's cover. On the outside this looks like a bog standard takeaway but this little unassuming place serves some of the best Chinese food in York.
You know the kind of fish & chip restaurant that has naff decor from the 70's but is always packed with pensioners because they serve a damn good fish & chips? This place is kinda the Chinese equivalent, it's stuffed with Chinese students, the decor/service is nothing to write home about and the concept of allergies & veterinarians/vegan is probably a little alien to them... but they serve damn good Chinese food.
Very tasty food, good portions, with a brief appetizer and fruit inclusive. However, 4s because I am in agreement with other posters, it is a bit expensive. Rice seems to be extra, this Mapo doufu, rice and large juice costing £12.
This is a REAL chinese... dont come looking for sweet and sour chicken and rice. You will get hot pot dishes. Blood duck pudding. Beef shin. Roasted fish. Amazing food
Food was really good and we got loads of it. You could probably share one main dish between 2 people easily, but we didn't.
This place is cash only, I had to run off and get some cash from walmgate shops.
Not a large restaurant so very relaxed in there.
Loads of different drinks to try here.
For 2 people I think total bill was £40 ish with sides, drinks and starters and we couldn't eat any more food.
Been here a couple of times and like this place , good portion sizes and quality of food , some downsides to this place - can get busy at peak times so be prepared to wait and the service can be slow , can get expensive but overall very good experiences we have had and would recommend the salt and pepper platter
I had lovely 70th Birthday meal, No frills, just excellent food xxx
Lovely place with amazing food and generous portion sizes. Staff were kind and attentive. Will definitely be returning when in York again.
If you want authentic Chinese, I mean duck blood & gizzard authentic. This has to be the best place to go in York. I had the best salt & pepper ribs I've ever had & beef noodles 🍜. Next time I'm going back for the sipcy frogs legs. I love this place & I would definitely recommend that you go 🙂.
Tiny restaurant but busy, mostly serve local. Staff is friendly on the day. Good taste. Huge portion and value price. The only downside is hard to find parking spots. Recommend from friends and now Will be returning. Keep it up.
Wow! I never enjoyed my food as much as at Chef Lu's!
Party of 3, we had lamb, beef, prawns, pork an many more and every single dish was EXCELLENT.
It was genuinely the first time I was left speechless after having a meal in a restaurant.
Definitely not an average Chinese restaurants and I will definitely be coming back!
Called in at this take away. Yesterday 5th December for. A meal and i was really surprised at the quality and taste and the portion size was a very filling one too..
i will go there again very soon
