Legendary Chinese restaurant is set to reopen its doors

Family behind famous City institution set to revive its fortunes

ONE of the owners of Manchester’s Yang Sing restaurant has revealed plans for the future of the business a year after closing its doors.

Currently, the building on Princess Street is being used as a temporary space for an indoor Christmas fair whilst renovations and development continue.

Yang Sing was first opened in 1977 by the Yeung family and quickly became a go-to destination for Mancunians and visitors to the city centre. What began as a small family affair grew into a venture which set the standard for Chinese restaurants in Manchester and beyond, welcoming guests including Sir Alex Ferguson and David Cameron.

The building underwent a £250,000 refurbishment in 2017 but in February 2021 a fire broke out in the basement kitchen, resulting in a number of repairs and in December 2021 the restaurants owners decided to close.

Speaking to the M.E.N, Bonnie Yeung, co-owner and daughter of co-founder Harry Yeung, explained that the family had been taking its time to bring the business back.
