Ying Wah is a family run Chinese restaurant at 11 Woolton Street in Liverpool's Woolton Village. The restaurant opened in 1974 and has been in the Ng family since 1978, giving it a long connection with the neighbourhood and generations of local diners.
The kitchen prepares food fresh to order and offers a broad selection of familiar Chinese dishes. Dim sum and starters can lead into crispy duck, seafood, meat and vegetable dishes, while rice and noodle choices make it easy to assemble a meal for sharing around the table.
Vegetarian and gluten free sections help diners navigate the menu, though guests with allergies should still speak to the restaurant before ordering. The range covers lighter plates as well as richer fried, roasted and sauce based dishes, so groups can balance flavours and textures across several courses.
A licensed bar serves cocktails and other drinks alongside the food, and a function suite provides space for private celebrations. The combination of established family ownership, experienced cooking and a full dine-in service makes Ying Wah a traditional neighbourhood restaurant rather than simply a takeaway counter.
Address: 11 Woolton Street, Liverpool L25 5NH, England
