Yangtze Chinese Restaurant

[ThailandTommy]

Sometime ago someone recommended 'The Yangtze Chinese Restaurant' I may have the name wrong as it was only mentioned to me in passing.

If it exists can anyone give me the address or recommend a good authentic Chinese restaurant?

Thanking you in anticipation

There is a place on Thannon Chang Klan just past Sridornchai in the Chang Klan Plaza. I don't know the name but it was recommended on this forum. I went there and I didn't like it and it was very expensive. The food, to me, was more of Thai-like food with a Chinese twist. No Cantonese style chow main or anything like that.

There is another place on Sridornchai close to Thannon Chang Klan. I also don't know the name of that one but it looks good and I'll give it a try some time.

Comment: For fabulous Chinese food, look no further than Yangzi Jiang: this recently opened restaurant is set to join the ranks of Chiang Mai's finest eateries. Located in an elegant old home just off Nimmanhaemin Road, Yangzi Jiang offers superb, authentic cuisine in an intimate setting. The restaurant interior is stylishly decorated with black glass table tops and a dark parquet floor complemented with vivid splashes of red, while staff members are friendly, quietly attentive and attractively dressed in crimson mandarin collar uniforms. The menu offers a wide selection of classic Chinese dishes, including dim sum, barbequed suckling pig and roasted Peking duck, as well as more exotic concoctions for the adventurous palate, such as steamed chicken feet with chilli sauce, Mexican abalone, Japanese scallops, and fish maw in rich broth. Prices are on the high side, but the quality of the cuisine makes the spend well worth it.

I liked it a lot, but I also liked some of the dishes at the place that Electrified mentions not liking.

I also thought that Yangtze Chinese Restaurant was better than the huge, famous one on Sri Don Chai Road in the Night Bazaar area.

My wife and I have just returned from having a really nice meal at the restaurant, service a little better than most Thai run establishments, the food we had was exceptional and very good portions, all in all, a good value for money restaurant, would recommend it and will certainly be returning.

Thanks again for the information.

I find the Citylife food guide useful, but there seem to be few reviews, Charlies fish and chips only has 1! It would be great if reviews were posted there, which would make them easier to find, unlike TV.
