China Town Restaurants

Manchester's
Chinatown lies in the very heart of the city, focused around Faulkner
Street, just behind the town hall and a stone's throw from the
Gay Village and Piccadilly Gardens. The area boasts superb restaurants,
Oriental supermarkets, Chinese medicine shops and casinos.

| It
wasn't until the 1940s that the Chinese started to arrive in great
numbers in Manchester, with the first Chinese resturant , the Ping
Hong in Mosley Street, opening in 1948. By 1960 sixteen more restaurants
were open and the boom continued well into the '60s and '70s. In
1962 the Willow Garden (now closed) opened with a capacity of 600,
whilst Kwok Man (1972), Charlie Chan's (1973), the Woo Sang (1976)
and probably the most famous Chinese restaurant in Europe, the Yang
Sing (1978), followed.
