Advantages: Everything about the food and service

Disadvantages: Parking nearby may not be easy

It's good to see the Yang Sing back in Princess Street, following the disastrous fire over a year ago. The premises have been refurbished, and it's now more spacious. They are going from strength to strength - the Yeung brothers featured in a TV series recently. They have also started to sell takeaway meals, which you get packed a handy box. I haven't had one as yet, but it's a great idea, and will make a change from the butties.

The Little Yang Sing has always been my favourite Chinese restaurant. Their dim sum, many of which get cooked at your table, are superb - I'll remember the crabmeat parcels forever.
I'm afraid I've never been that adventurous, usually stuck to the old favourites (prawns and cashewnuts and their delicious, subtle, fried rice is a typical choice).
It's not very cheap: for this kind of main course (with dim sum and Chinese tea) a bill for two might be around £30.00 - I have always felt it is worth it.

They will cook you a banquet meal to your requirements - which means you get course after course arriving at your table. Once I was in a party and ordered this, and it included ostrich, in a rich sauce, which I'm told was the best dish of the meal. I would still recommend the restaurant to non meat eaters, though.
Expect this to come to around £25 per person or more.

The staff are extremely polite and attentive, and children are welcome. It can get very busy, so my advice is to book in advance.

Well worth a visit - and ideal for a special occasion.
