"I didn't do well in my A-levels so I worked in a Chinese restaurant - in September, I'll have run it for 36 years"

Spanning a little over 12 acres, Chinatown certainly punches above its weight.

There are countless excellent restaurants, karaoke bars, bakeries, and even a pagoda within the boundaries of the grid nestled behind Piccadilly Gardens. All of those businesses are cheek-by-jowl to one another, helping create a feeling that it is a buzzing centre inside a bustling city centre.

One of the area’s best-known and most-loved restaurants is Little Yang Sing. It’s now owned by Warren Yeung, who is 65.
