Chinese food in Sheffield

Regional cooking, Hong Kong cafés and a strong city-centre cluster.

Sheffield has a varied Chinese dining scene across the city centre, with notable restaurants around Westfield Terrace, Devonshire Street and Trippet Lane and further depth around London Road and the Glossop Road/Broomhall area. The mix spans Hong Kong café cooking, Sichuan flavours, halal Chinese food, hot pot, noodle specialists and Malaysian-Chinese menus.

The range works for both adventurous diners and people looking for dependable classics: dry pot and whole grilled fish can sit on the same shortlist as sweet and sour, black bean, salt and pepper and oyster-sauce favourites.
