About Ying Wah Bar & Restaurant
Woolton Village's go-to Chinese, and locals have been filling the room for over 20 years by some accounts. The ribs draw the most consistent praise, followed closely by the duck, spring rolls and sweet and sour chicken — order a banquet and the table covers most of what people rave about anyway, with portion sizes that leave little room for regret. The recently renovated dining room is clean and relaxed, the kind of place that works equally well for a family dinner or just drinks with friends. The drinks selection runs wide enough to include soft drinks for kids alongside the bar options. Staff — Simon, Lauren and the team get named — are the sort who can't do enough for you, and that warmth is what keeps people coming back week after week.
