Wu Shuang Cafe

My top go-to place whenever I visit Birmingham. I enjoyed their new mango sago smoothie so much!! So refreshing and tasted absolutely spot on The clay pot aubergine was nice as well, went quite well with rice Good portion overall, great value for money.

I went with my son. We are English and wanted somewhere authentic. We were not disappointed. It was lovely and the atmosphere was very family friendly. . We had lovely clay pot chicken and my ribs were lovely too. Waitresses very friendly even though they were busy. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing place with lots of good food and decent service. The crispy squid is mouth-wateringly aromatic and is a true delicacy to be had. The XO noodles and sirloin steak with rice are extremely delicious and what I would 100% recommend!! The hainan chicken rice too is good, but not as good as the former.

I was throughly impressed with this Chinese restaurant’s food despite my initial impressions expecting it to be mediocre. Under recommendation of my close friend I decided to visit this specific restaurant in the Birmingham Chinese district. Staff can speak both Cantonese and Mandarin which is a good sign. Firstly, I will provide some criticisms on this restaurant despite my 5 star rating. I found it disappointing that the Char Siu (BBQ Pork) was sold out on both occasions I visited. But this can be considered a good sign as it indicates its the best selling dish in the shop. I also found their salt and pepper chips to be somewhat too dry and underwhelming in comparison to their other salt and pepper dishes. But I will overlook this considering how good everything else was. The most impressive dish I will comment on is the Salt and Pepper Tofu! This has the perfect chinese 5 spice ratio, and the soft YET crispy battered tofu which is extremely hard to make and keep together is the best I’ve seen prepared here in the UK. Not many places actually put batter on tofu prior to frying, which is good to see it made this way as it can allow for softer tofu to be deep fried. The secreted juices from vegetables and chilli balance it out very well enhancing the overall flavour ultimately making the salt and pepper dish not dry & well balanced! I highly recommend this dish! Fried Squid, although its a small portion and I’m not a huge fan of seafood, is one of the best tasting and well prepared I have had in the UK! They used calamari to make it so the squid is not chewy at all and is soft with good texture, well battered as well. Excellent starter dish! Salt and Pepper chicken (not on the menu) is very similar to the tofu review above but slightly more dry, not the best but is definitely made well for Midlands standards. The Beef Ho Fun (Rice Noodles) is very tasty with authentic taste but was on the greasy side of the scale. They used a little too much oil when making this dish which could have been balanced with the use of water to reduce the dryness. Regardless, I cannot fault the taste and quantity of beef used. Definitely one of the best available in Birmingham midlands area. Overall, if you want an authentic chinese, this is definitely one of the options you can visit whilst in Birmingham city centre. But of course expect to pay London prices being in the city centre! Its certainly cheaper at a Chinese Takeaway!

Delicious and authentic Hong Kong style cafe food. Polite staff especially a waitress called Cherry. Looking forward to my next visit

This has been my go-to restaurant when I’m craving some authentic Cantonese food. The environment is similar to local cafes in Hong Kong (茶餐廳), they even play Cantonese pop music here. Large selection on the menu for both food and drinks, also appreciate that they provide tea sets here.

Revisited for a weekday dinner treat. Loved it. Great food and flavour, friendly people and hearty dishes. Happy belly. *** First time visiting and the food was great. Authentic taste of Hong Kong (as authentic as you can get all things considering). For those unaccustomed to the cha chan teng food culture, this is a place to experience it without having to fly to the other side of the world. Friendly service and cosy place to eat. 10/10 would come back again.

I've been a loyal customer of Wushuang for a long time, and whenever I crave cha chaan teng or stir-fried dishes, it’s my go-to spot! My absolute favourites are their dry beef ho fun and sliced pork crispy noodles. Sometimes, I switch it up with their baked rice dishes, which are also quite good. If you’re in the mood for fried rice, I highly recommend the salted fish and chicken fried rice; it has an amazing wok hei flavour that’s hard to beat. When it comes to drinks, their iced milk tea and red bean ice are top-notch. They also offer a delightful mango sago pomelo dessert drink, which you don't often find elsewhere. However, I’d suggest skipping the Hainanese chicken rice; it’s not their best dish .
