Yang Sing (Manchester)
Set over many floors, with private dining facilities available for 30-220 people. Its unique charm and unequalled dedication to the palate of the connoisseur, have earned the Yang Sing a reputation as being amongst the very best Cantonese restaurants in Europe but it's still an expensive place to eat. 34 Princess St Manchester, M1 4JY 0161 236 2200 Must (Birmingham)
Described unimaginatively as a ‘must' by the Birmingham Post this relatively new chain restaurant has proved popular in the area. The atmosphere has been described as light and the menu extensive without being over the top. The food is of respectable value and as a new restaurant will need to keep it that way if it wants to establish itself in the area. Must Dim Sum Bar & Restaurant, 11-13 Newhall Street, Birmingham. 0121 212 2266 Maxi's (Leeds)
The flagship restaurant of this chain was established in 1989 and specialises in authentic Chinese food. As a result their dim sum are said to be just that, authentic. With good service and decent value it would seem that Maxi's is worth it's reputation for reliable Chinese food. The success of this first restaurant has meant that Maxi's were able to open more restaurants including Maxi's express in Leeds that has a dim sum buffet. 6 Bingley Street - Leeds City Centre - LS3 1LX - 0113 244 0552 Dim Sum (Sheffield)
A popular choice in the local area, it is recommended that you book for this restaurant. The menu is extensive although a little bare for vegetarians, but customers often leave enthusing about how cheap the meal was for the quality of the food. On a Sunday there have been queues out the door on occasion so believe the hype on this one. 201 London Road, Sheffield. Tel: 0114 255 0467. Far East (Liverpool)
This restaurant has been around since the mid 1980s and the outside appearance isn't spectacular, with a car park on its roof there certainly isn't a lack of parking. So the food must be good if it prospered in these circumstances. Open 7 days a week the restaurant has a special service on Sunday where all manner of dim sum are wheeled out on a trolley for you to choose from. Far East, 27-35 Berry St, Liverpool, L1 9DF 0151 709 3141 Dynasty (Bristol)
Dynasty has traditional dim sum dishes available at lunch time only. However in was voted one of the top 5 best by Alan Yau of Hakkasan. The dim sum at dinnertime is meant to be the best in Bristol and the staff are known for being friendly and helpful. 14a St Thomas St Bristol BS1 6JJ Hong Kong International (Edinburgh)
This seemingly modest appearing restaurant attracts many Asian customers which is perhaps testimony to its ability to cook authentic dim sum. The average price of around £3 for a dish is par for the course and the staff are said to be friendly and helpful. Unfortunately for vegetarians the choice is limited as most dishes contain meat or fish. 104 Hanover St , Edinburgh , EH2 1DR - 0131 226 6864 Saigon Dim Sum (Edinburgh)
Featured in the ‘Eating & Drinking guide 2008' Saigon recently changed the upstairs of their restaurant from a buffet to a traditional Chinese restaurant. The quality of the dim sum in the downstairs part of the restaurant surprises many. The service is questionable but is beaten by the fantastic quality of dim sum and its relatively good value. 14 South St Andrew Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2AZ - 0131 557 3737 Ba Oriental (Cardiff)
Sat right next to the marina in Cardiff bay this restaurant in a stylish place for young professionals. With a dim sum bar and a good vegetarian selection it is popular with the local workforce who want a treat for their lunch. They have an extensive wine list too but expect to pay a bit more for your luxurious surroundings. Unit 27 Mermaid Quay, Cardiff CF10 5BZ
