Fantastic food, been going there for 40+ years. The interior has now changed, a lot, but the friendly atmosphere, lovely staff and amazing food hasn’t. One of the best Chinese restaurants around.

Fantastic experience. Visited on a Sunday and it was extremely busy. We didn't plan on coming here so didn't have an reservation, but they still accommodated us group of 4. Next time we will book! After a short delay waiting in the bar area we got shown to our table. Have to mention their Expresso Martinis are top standards. Overall we all had an amazing evening at the new Ying Wah.

I took wortip like a starter and roasted duck with orange sauce. It was awesome! I suggest it if you want a traditional Chinese meal!

Great food, great staff, fairly priced, nice little building, not much in the way of parking but there is a small carpark across the road and on street parking but it gets busy so plan ahead. This place is without doubt one off the best chinese restaurants in Liverpool, worth checking out for sure.
