“ A traditional decoration Chinese restaurant with a long history. The food is very authentic. Staffs work hard and friendly. Fair prices, really good portion size. Will be back again, although I am 1:30 hours far away ”
“ Went on the recommendation of a local oriental and it does not disappoint, it looks and feels just like walking into a good food establishment in Hong Kong. Staff are friendly and attentive without feeling like stalkers, seated swiftly, even my aged mum in her wheelchair and service is swift and efficient. Decor feels right, washroom is clean and well maintained, the food (Dim-Sum) was excellent, as good as Hong Kong! The food comes quickly and is cooked to perfection, my only gripe is that I live over 220 miles away and can only visit every 3-4 weeks. ”
“ Would absolutely recommend coming to try the dim sum here. We tried 7 different dim sum dishes, and all were very tasty. Our favourite was the duck egg custard buns. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only criticism being they didn't come back to us to check on us after serving food. However, this did not take away from a great overall experience. The place has an authentic feel, and all our food was delicious. We will definitely be returning to try more dishes. ”
“ The dim sum in this restaurant is authentic Cantonese style, which brings back memories of Cantonese dim sum for customers. It is delicious, rich and moderately priced. At the same time, the service staff is warm and friendly, which makes people feel warm. ”
“ First time here and didn't disappoint! Just a little bit pricey then London, but if you want a decent dim sum in York! Go to Maxi's. Great service, good selection and friendly staff's! ”
“ First time here, called in for a cheeky pint and a takeaway, after a long day, food was excellent, service was good, food service quick almost didn’t have time to drink our pint, and piping hot when we arrived home 15mins later, will certainly call again and definitely recommend this place. We ordered the delightful 179a Crispy Chilli Beef and the melt in the mouth 187 Beef with ginger and spring onion with a portion of egg fried rice to share. The meals were hearty portions and extremely filling ”
“ The food was absolutely delicious. The roast duck was perfectly cooked with crispy skin and tender meat, full of flavor. The king prawns in oyster sauce were cooked to perfection, with a rich and savory sauce and veggies that complemented the prawns beautifully. The yong fu fried rice was another standout dish. Not only was the food excellent, but the service was also top-notch. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic Chinese meal. ”
“ If you are looking for authentic Chinese food, this is the place to go! Food is excellent, full of flavours and very tasty! Portions are for sharing - typical asian sharing dishes you put in the middle of the table to share and we even bag leftovers to take home. We've been here many times and always want to go back even if its a 40 minute drive! I highly recommend! You won't be disappointed! Little pricy but definitely worth it! Interior decor is nicely done - red colour for Good luck! One suggestion, don't sit at the back near the kitchen as it is rather noisy with staff going in and out of the kitchen, the bells ringing, and dishes being cleared. Atmosphere is nice to see with lots of Asians and especially Chinese people and tourists - always a sign of good food! Keep up the consistency of the delicious food chef - 5 stars to the chef! ”
