Chung Ying Cantonese Restaurant is a long-established dining room at 16–18 Wrottesley Street in Birmingham Chinatown. The restaurant has served the city since 1981 and remains focused on Cantonese hospitality, with a broad menu suited to family meals, group occasions and relaxed dim sum visits.
Dim sum is one of its defining strengths, covering steamed, fried and baked dishes that can be ordered for the table. Dumplings, buns, rolls and seafood preparations give diners a wide choice of textures and fillings, whether they want a light selection or the beginning of a larger meal.
The main menu moves through roasted meats, seafood, poultry, beef, vegetables, rice and noodles. Crispy aromatic duck, sweet and sour fish, prawns with chilli and garlic, black bean dishes and stir fried vegetables illustrate the familiar Cantonese combinations available alongside more elaborate set menus.
Dedicated vegan and gluten free selections help mixed groups find suitable choices, and the restaurant also offers takeaway and delivery. As soy, wheat, shellfish, nuts and other allergens appear across Cantonese cooking and shared preparation areas, guests with allergies should confirm their requirements directly with staff.
Address: 16–18 Wrottesley Street, Birmingham Chinatown, Birmingham B5 4RT, England
