The Mandarin Restaurant in Newcastle's Chinatown has a lunchtime menu, 5 courses for £5.60, excluding drinks.For this, you get a soup, two starters, a main course (beware, rice or noodles are not included and must be bought for £1 extra, which gives a generous portion for two) and a dessert.
As you can see from the outside photo, the whole restaurant is decorated in a very traditional style. It was also listed in the Egon Ronay RAC Guide in 1996 and 1997.
As far as I am aware, this is one of the older restaurants in Stowell Street, and the experience has obviously paid off for the owners and staff. The service in Chinatown's many restaurants has never been less than very attentive and professional, and The Mandarin is no exception.
The Mandarin has a very large array of different "banquets", becoming more and more expensive as the courses become more numerous and extravagant. That being said, the lunchtime £5.60 menu is very reasonable, and is served between 12 and 1530.
