Solid pizza, good beer. Live music was a nice touch. No frills, just does the basics well. Found it when trying to avoid the busy spots.

Had to come back for their mango cider, it&#39;s just that good! The little outdoor spot is lovely on a sunny day.

The team here just has this lovely, genuine warmth. They remember your name, ask how you&rsquo;ve been, and it never feels rehearsed. Makes the whole visit feel easy and personal.

First time trying their dim sum and the custard buns were the star for me. So fresh, with that perfect, warm, oozy filling. Just a really nice surprise.

Booked ahead, which was a good call as it&rsquo;s quite snug inside. The food is a definite step up from your usual takeaway spot.

Popped in for a late-night drink. The bartender was so lovely&mdash;he actually stepped outside to help me flag down a taxi and made sure I got in safely. Really thoughtful touch.

The burger was really good, one of the best in Leeds for sure. I asked for no sauce or salad and they got it right, which doesn&#39;t always happen. The space itself is nice, feels quite open and airy.

The portions are generous, and the ingredients taste really fresh. Good value for the quality.

Tucked away in the market, a nice quiet spot. The owner was so friendly and the sushi was made fresh right there. A very comfortable place for a solo lunch.

The Peking duck presentation is a whole thing, they bring it out in this wooden chest. The skin was crisp, the meat was juicy. Hoisin sauce was spot on, not too sweet. Pancakes were a bit thick though.

The grilled eel was spot on, really well cooked. Skin had a nice crisp, flesh was tender and not oily. That&#39;s what I came for. The rest of the meal was good, staff were friendly. A solid dinner.

Found this spot on a rainy lunch break. The hot pot was a solid, quick bite. Really took me back to meals I had in China. Service was fast, got me in and out. A nice surprise for a wet day.

Staff knew their stuff, especially with wine pairings. Helped us choose a red that went perfectly with the steak. Made the whole dinner more cohesive. Service was prompt and professional, no hovering.

The katsu curry here is really good. The sauce has a nice depth of flavour, and the pork cutlet was crispy all the way through, not oily at all. Portion size is decent for what you pay.

A nice little bakery in the market. Their sourdough is really good, with a decent crust. The selection of pastries is pretty solid, too. It did feel a bit crowded at the counter, but that&#39;s probably just the weekend rush.

Really friendly staff, they sorted out a booking mix-up for our group without any fuss. Got us seated quickly and gave some good suggestions on the beers. Makes a difference when service is this smooth.

The garlic knots are a must-try. The smaller ones are the best &ndash; they have a really nice crisp to them. You can tell the dough is fresh. Perfect for sharing.
