Yangtze Noodle Bar

Great options, they do snack boxes in small, medium and large, where you can have a selection of what’s on offer, such as ribs, chicken balls, rice, noodles, curry, chips, sausages etc.
I love getting their honey chilli chicken with noodles. Be warned, the portions are HUGE, I’ve never managed to finish one and quite frankly the portion could easily do two people!
Reasonable pricing. Drinks available are fizzy drinks in tins and bottles, plus bottled water.

The food is okay in a pinch but two things bother me. 1) Dishes that aren’t meant to be spicy, are, and 2) some of the staff can be quite rude, or act like you are inconveniencing them by wanting to order their food — God forbid!

I could probably go on about the greatness of this Chinese for about an hour or so. It’s that good! Yum yum says my tum! I love it! I used to work in the Abbey Centre and on my lunch break I’d more often than not head here and get their snack box, which is, in my opinion, the best buy. You can try a little of everything from what’s on offer, though I find I can never finish it in one go, I always keep half of it for my tea, now that’s good value for £5! (I don’t know if they do it anymore, but they used to offer 10% off for staff who worked in the centre — try it, it might well work!) I have tried a number of their other dishes which have all been deliciously tasty. If you’re around the Abbey centre at lunch time and fancy some top notch Chinese cuisine then head to Yangtze and try it out, trust me, your taste buds will be well and truly tickled!

Great food, you’ll find it gives your local chinese a run for its money. Service is super-​quick too, being a noodle bar in a shopping center that’s hardly surprising though. Of particular note is the ‘Weekend Specials’ they do. You basically get a ‘bit of everything’ which amounts to a mountain of food, all of which is pretty delicious. Price for such a meal is £4.80 which represents excellent value for money. These are available normally from Thursday-​Sunday, but in the run up to Christmas are available everyday.
I would equally recommend the rest of the menu. These are people who know chinese food! Small criticisms are, few of them speak English very well, or at all, so if you have a problem or a complaint it can get a little frustrating trying to communicate that to them. Secondly, you will get a plastic knife and fork during busy hours, these are terribly inadequate and break quickly.
All-​in-​all, a worthy 3-​stars from me: D
