Ying Chow Chinese Restaurant

It’s full of bustle and constantly turning people away. Last time we went they ran out of salt n pepper flounder. But they had it this time, along with a great scallop dish, excellent sat n pepper tofu, and perfect greens. House wine was cheap and very quaffable. Table limit is 1 hour 15 - but everything turns up in no time. It is not a place for a quiet thoughtful chat over slow dinner! Great though.

One of the best Chinese restaurants in Adelaide. Have been going there for years, always consistently good - run by smart Chinese who know about good customer service. Simple, no fuss, no attitude, & so reasonably priced. Love it.

The favourites are the Shallot Pancakes to start with. Deep fried shredded beef is sweet & crispy - so moreish. BBC = Broad bean, Bean curd & Chinese chutney - my absolute FAVE - can’t get enough of this one. Granny's Bean Curd Clay Pot With beef mince has a nice gentle chilli kick. Salt & Pepper Squid on this occasion was a tad average - unusually so. But overall, the meal was a total feast enjoyed by the family. Can’t wait to go back.

This is an Adelaide institution and rightly so. No fan-fare, simply great food. Even on a Monday night expect to be turned away if you haven't made a booking. The tea smoked duck, red pepper prawns, salt & pepper tofu and BBC are non-negotiable when I visit. Consistently fantastic!

We always eat here, especially late nights with friends. Typically very busy with great food, highly recommend the Tofu with Minced Pork Stir Fry, Tea Smoked Duck, Bok Choy with Garlic, and Steamed Oysters with Ginger & Shallots. Must try if you are in Chinatown Adelaide and craving for some quick and delicious Chinese food. Best to book in advance rather than walk-in.

My favourite Chinese restaurants in Adelaide. I always get the Salted Fish Eggplant with a bowl of rice. It's not on the menu book, it's on the wall. However all other dishes have been delicious when I tried them but I stick to what I love. Fast and friendly service. Reasonable prices. Conveniently centrally located in the city. Can get busy at night so prepare to wait for a table for a group.

On a date with someone I just met I haven’t even eaten yet but I got 1 litre of wine for 18 dollars . Foods probably really good. Really good hospitality and workers seem happy and enthusiastic. Good communication. Telling my wife and kids about this place !

The food was delicious, especially the shallot pancakes. Maggie was really friendly and gave us great recommendations, making our visit enjoyable. 😁

Had a lovely dinner here last night! We ordered the dumpling soup which was incredible (highly recommend), mixed veggies, roast duck and the flounder. Everything was excellent! The fish took a bit longer to come out but definitely worth the wait!

This place delivered the goods, as good as the reviews 👌 friendly staff, awesome food and a cool vibe to relax and enjoy some of the best food in Adelaide and make sure you book a table it gets very busy 😀 😋

Crispy beef is very tasty. Sticky pork taste like version of Humba in the Philippines. Deep fried prawn is nothing special.

Just found my new favourite Chinese restaurant. Portions not that big and better make reservation ahead specially in the weekend/public holiday.

Excellent service and meals. I checked Google reviews and went by recommendation, and wasn't disappointed. I highly recommend 👌

A very classic Chinese restaurant with great dishes. We came here hearing about the duck and it did not disappoint! The duck was crispy on the outside and had a great flavour to its flesh. I believe it very good value as my partner and I had a very good fill. Highly recommend coming here to eat the duck.

Great joint. Fantastic service. Highly recommend getting a booking so you're not disappointed, but that's just testament to how popular this place is. Red vinegar pork ribs are amazing.

I cant believe how good is this restaurant is!!!! I have no words to explain how tasty the food is. I tried the salted eggplants and it’s amazing, if you are a eggplant lover you should try it here. Oh dont forget to order a deer meat as well. This is one of the best place in Adelaide. Please make a booking first before you come or else you will have to wait more than 30m.

It’s like eating dinner with the Chinese grandad you never had. 5 stars.

I have been eating at Ying Chow for over 10 years, and it’s my favourite Asian restaurant in Adelaide. They make the best EShang chicken I’ve never ever tasted anything like that before. Great service good staff would recommend 1000% to anyone that likes Asian cuisine

Located in the heart of Chinatown, there’s plenty of options around, the reviews on google sold us. Food came out really quickly and was made with high quality. We came in without booking and they moved tables around for us, shortly after it started to get packed to the point that they had to turn people away. Glad I got to try this place on my work trip to Adelaide. Highly recommend.

My happy place, eshand chicken, steam buns with satay sauce, red pepper beef 🍲

Best Chinese food in Adelaide. Went back with my kids after almost 10 years and the food was as good as I remembered. Qudos to the chef. The tea smoked duck is the star dish
