Outstanding Food and Exceptional Service – Highly Recommended! A truly fantastic dining experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely superb, beautifully presented, full of flavour and prepared to an exceptionally high standard. What really made the evening special was the outstanding service.

Not only is the food at Yibu amazing, the owner Janet is an absolute delight. She stopped by our table to see how we liked the food and we had a lovely chat with her. Get the dumplings and the duck rolls and the popcorn chicken. It is all so delicious!!!
