What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Dee Yi is praised for its generous portions and authentic Chinese cuisine at takeaway prices, making it a local favorite for value and flavor. While many enjoy the friendly service and pleasant atmosphere, some reviews mention concerns about the restaurant's decor and cleanliness, and a few have found specific dishes to be less than satisfactory. Despite mixed feedback on the dining experience, the food quality for takeaway remains a strong point for many patrons.
"Glad I finally got to try this resturant after always walking past it. We went in at 12 to order for takeout and I recommend calling in advance. The wait was around 30 minutes but we did order a lot. For 6 people it was £70-80 which was reasonable price for large amount.
Resturant looks like from the inside and has a good vibe. It’s 20% more than menu price if you eat in and each person has to spend a minimum £10 if you eat in.
The duck was excellent and all the dishes were large portion can not recommend more!"

"Very quiet restaurant (I was told they are very busy on the takeaway side), large car park a few metres away, two young waitresses were nice, food was pretty good but not amazing, prices were good, I have paid double in similar restaurants. I would eat here again."
Ethan Robinson
