We had a lovely meal in a lovely place. We would definitely go again. The staff were attentive and nothing was too much trouble for them. Downside...ladies down a flight of stairs!!

What a great find, booked for 6 o'clock (they have happy hour until 6.30 for £8.95). Nobody in suspicion that means it can't be good, how wrong was I within half an hour the place was full, You know it's going to be good when lots of Chinese are eating there. Didn't go for the special although it sounded lovely but went for the £22 set meal. Great choices, fabulous food, if I had to make one little comment it would be some of the waiters need to come across a little more friendly but all in all would highly recommend this restaurant.

Amazing food but the service could have been better. Highly recommended, especially the whole braised aubergine and great veggie selection, including vegan food. Set meal was far more than we could manage and only £18 per person

Great authentic food with excellent service at a very reasonable price. The cumin lamb, spicy fish, and pork with green peppers were fantastic but there's a great variety of spicy and non-spicy dishes, as well as anglicised versions. Definitely worth a visit. Don't forget to try the tea :)

The meal was spot on tried a dish i had never had before. the prices were very resonable for the quality of food. The staff were knowledgable and attentive. The restaurant is well decorated and plenty of room between tables. I will be back and be recommending to friends 2 small things stopped me giving a 6 Prawn crackers were extra fair enough but not even offered had to ask. No hand wipes offered after the starter which was finger food.

Nice restaurant. Food and service are of a high standard. We enjoyed our Chicken and Sweetcorn soup, and Mixed Platters. The Chonquin Chicken was a large portion and cooked nicely, and would have been even better if it had more flavour (more onions, garlic, etc.) Unfortunately I was extremely disappointed with the Spicy Hot Poached Pork which was seasoned to death - it literally had so much salt and pepper in it that it was completelty unedible. All in all, a high quality establishment, and this is reflected in the very high price we paid. Probably would have had a better experience if we had ordered a different set of dishes.

The Hei hei is our regular Chinese restaurant of choice when we visit Newcastle. The food is always the same good standard and the menu is varied and offers choices you may not get elsewhere, well worth a visit if you are in the area.

I worked in Asia for 30 years, the final 18 years I was based in Shanghai, China. Hei Hei is the closest I have seen in The North East which is typical authentic Chinese food, which I prefer to the Westernised Chinese food you get elsewhere. I can choose many dishes from different provinces in China, which many people have not tasted. I took an old friend and his wife who were pleasantly surprised at the dishes I ordered for us. I have taken former Chinese colleagues when they have been in town on business and all agree it is the most authentic Chinese food.
