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 food was amazing! Service and menu was great. Only negative is that it's quite expensive. A perfect place for a special occasion though. The set menu's in particular were fantastic!

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.

Varied, traditional, Chinese menu. We had the Wuhan buffet (bit like Sichuan). Food was very tasty, and the staff were very helpful. (Only downside - does not have accessible loos)

Although we were the only people eating, we were served promptly and didn't feel uncomfortable. We both had the happy hour menu...I had soup followed by sizzling beef with rice...my friend went for the ribs and sweet and sour king prawn. Both sets of meals were delicious...the only reason we left some was because there was a little too much for us both. A fabulously tasty and well presented meal...well worth the price, in lovely surroundings.

Very pleasant attentive staff. Barbecued spate ribs starter was delicious could have licked the plate. Main sweet and sour chicken was fine but sauce a little bland for my liking. Very good portions can't complain. Would return when next in Newcastle and would recommend. Nice atmosphere in restaurant was busy but did not have to wait long for food.

This was our third visit since finding Hei Hei by chance one day out shopping. It is also the third time we have had a great meal with a friendly service at a good price. The special menu before 5pm are great value too and are the same quality and portion size as the evening menu.
