Hung Moey Chinese Restaurant & Takeaway

This little town of Thirsk is pretty quiet...but along the Market place are numerous business' and even a couple hotels. Its dinner time, what to eat...CHINESE...!!! While this establishment is open only at select times of the day...it must be popular...as not only did i wait outside in the rain...so did a dozen other people...so, why no recent reviews? There is a dining room with a number of tables for those wanting to dine-in...but I wanted take-away ("to go") that I could enjoy at my leisure in my hotel room...in front of the TV. I was greeted by the nicest lady, who took my order... 1. Hot and Sour Soup 2. Pork Chop Suey 3. Char Sui Foo Yung, which also included Egg Fried Rice at 30p extra I perhaps waited only 15-minutes or so...back at the room, opened up my meal. First, no styro foam containers (this is a good thing)...each dish was packed nicely in foil containers which not only assisted with spill control in the bag, but most importantly it kept my food HOT (this is a good thing). Lets just offer an observation...Chinese food in the UK is not the Chinese food you may experience in America...or even China...but it was more than acceptable, and was quite enjoyable. First, the Hot and Sour soup appeared to me as having a more tomato base than I have experienced before...similar to a bisque consistency. WOW, what a wonder flavor, while having the spice edge that I like, there was also a lite sweetness...I liked this very much. Following was the Pork Chop Suey. Absolutely perfect, with a good mix of meat, sprouts, onion, carrot, etc. Also included tonight was the Char Sui Foo Yung. I thought that I knew what this dish was, but it was prepared much differently here than at home. First it is notable to say this is not a greasy fried egg foo young pancake as you would find in America...in fact, this isn't fried at all, and it is not smothered in gravy. The make-up of the dish is egg, pork and peas...perhaps another ingredient or two. This was a surprise, but, what a good tasty surprise. Contrary to the reviews by others...I had great service, prompt and courtesy acknowledged. My food was perfect...hot, tasty...very enjoyable. And the cost...quite acceptable. It should be noted that this business was established in 1965...this is a local family operation, not a commercial corporation from London...these are your friends and neighbors, show your support, they deserve your business. When I travel back this direction...yes, I will stop in, say hello and experience another wonderful meal.

What a lovely restaurant. The owners were superb, made my children comfortable, and were so friendly. The food is one of the best Chinese food I have had. The duck was a highlight. Well trained staff, with an atmosphere of pride.

What can I say besides the food is amazing and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend 👌
