"Compared to other places that I have lived, and despite Sheffield 's otherwise flourising dining and takeaway scene, the selection of places to get good Chinese food for a reasonable place in Sheffield; especially around the London Road area, is certainly lacking. When I was looking around London Road for a quick portion of rice though, I thought that I should try one of the proper Chinese establishments rather than my previous choice, Yum Yum ; this was cemented by the fact that Wai Hong offered a simple egg fried rice for a lot cheaper than anywhere else I could find. The dish took a mere few minutes to prepare, as it was early in the evening and I was the only customer they were preparing food for. They gave it to me, curiously, in an open kebab shop style takeaway box, instead of the usual Chinese foil containers or the recently mass implemented plastic cartons, which felt like an odd choice of container for rice. However, I got it home, and it tasted good on its own, but when I mixed it with the curry that I was cooking already it was simply delicious and a great deal better than I would expect from most of the other local takeaways for rice at least. So my partner and I decided to visit a few days later to get dinner. It is odd that hte Meal for One options are £5 each, but the Meal for Two options area almost £20; the mathematics do not seem to quite add up here. We each went for a different Meal for One and shared the profits. The rice was as good as previously mentioned, and the spring rolls that both meals contained were also quite good though the same as one would get anywhere else. My partner 's main was, I believe, some kind of sweet and sour chicken dish, which she enjoyed though I thought was fairly average. However, we both really enjoyed my beef in black bean sauce; I do not order the dish often from Chinese takeaways, preferring something a little more adventurous, but we both enjoyed it. It was very flavoursome and I would even go as far as to say that it was one of the best versions of the dish that I have ever had though that being said it was nothing mind blowing and I do not order the dish often. All in all, Wai Hong is very good value for money and worth a visit. Especially if you are bored with your own local takeaway, which in the North in general seems quite likely, Wai Hong is certainly worth the trip. If only their menus were more extensive, they would perhaps warrant a five star rating, but one can only dream."
