Ying Chow Chinese Restaurant
Ying Chow
A popular Chinese restaurant on Gouger Street that has been open for thirty years, known for its generous portions, affordable prices, and constant queues.
Ying Chow has been operating at 114 Gouger Street since 1994. The eatery is small and simple, with walls adorned with awards. It is known for its generous portions and affordable prices, often drawing queues outside. Signatures include E-shand Chicken, spring onion pancakes, the broad bean and tofu dish with Chinese hot and sour sauce (affectionately dubbed "BBC" by diners), tea-smoked duck, black pepper beef, and sizzling venison. Reservations are accepted but seating is tight; it is recommended to book ahead and allow extra time for waiting, especially for larger groups. The restaurant is located a few minutes' walk west of the Central Market and Chinatown. It operates mainly in the evening, though exact hours vary by source.
Opening hours
Dinner from approx. 17:00 until late, with lunch service added on Fridays; sources conflict and some mention Sunday closure, so calling to confirm is recommended
