Inside Manchester’s new canal-side dim sum restaurant with bao, dumplings and cocktails

Another addition to Manchester’s buzzing food and drink scene has opened its doors this week. Following in the footsteps of fellow Liverpool eateries Maray and Bold Street Coffee, Yum Cha has travelled down the M62 to set up shop, bringing small plates, roasted meats and Chinese tea along for the ride.

Already well-established on Liverpool’s Lark Lane, Yum Cha has finally opened its doors at Kampus, the city centre neighbourhood situated just a stone's throw from Manchester Piccadilly train station. Set up by brothers Adam and Neil Wan, their casual and contemporary take on traditional Chinese classics has won over the Liverpool food crowd with its colourful steamed bao buns, freshly roasted Chinese meats, and flavourful rice and noodle dishes.

Adam Wan, Yum Cha co-founder, said: “We’re properly excited to open the doors and let Manchester taste our big plates, trademark roast meats and dim sum to die for. Our home at Kampus is perfect and we’re proud to be joining the community alongside the likes of Nell’s, Pollen and The Beeswing.
