If you’ve left your New Year’s resolutions at the door, along with the promise to yourself that this year really was going to be a ‘new year, new you,’ then worry not… There is another chance to start again, but not before eating your body weight in delicious food! We are of course referring to Chinese New Year which begins on 28th January and will be marked with a huge festival taking place in Newcastle on Sunday.
This year celebrates the fire rooster, with love, wealth and luck predicted for many. So what better way to celebrate the good news than with some delicious food? In no particular order, here’s our top five Chinese restaurants for a memorable New Year in the Toon that will leave you Wonton more!
Inoodle
Kicking off the list is Inoodle which has received a big thumbs up on Tripadvisor for its authenticity. Its reputation can be attributed to the highly skilled chefs and their theatrical performances as they prepare tasty meals and hand-made Lamian noodles right in front of your eyes. Feeling adventurous? Try the pork intestine with wonton noodle soup!
La Yuan
La Yuan may be young, opening just at the end of last year, but it has already made waves as a must-visit spot. The restaurant provides a unique concept dining experience with a beautiful array of Szechuan flavours on the menu. Looking for a distinct experience? Try the authentic tea ceremonies presented by their very own tea guru.
The Orchid
The Orchid receives high scores across the board for its quality food and great atmosphere. Visitors praise the friendly and prompt service while the varied menu also receives top marks. Can’t decide what to have? The revolving tables means you can sample a bit of everything and even nab the last bite if no one’s looking!
HeiHei
Another Szechuan contender, HeiHei is noted for its consistency, with delicious dishes from starter to dessert. Also praised are the large portion sizes so there’s no worry you’ll be going home feeling less that satisfied. In a hurry? The efficient and friendly service means waiting times are kept to a minimum.
King Neptune
A staple haunt in China Town for a number of years, King Neptune is a triple threat offering great service, attractive interior and great value for money. One TripAdvisor user commended the staff who took the time to teach her family how to use chopsticks. If you’re on a budget then go for the banquet options which will certainly give you more bounce for the ounce.
