An absolute culinary treat in authenticity. The fresh soya milk is a must have; simply the best I have tasted. Cannot come here and avoid this and pairs perfectly with the youtiao (Chinese fried dough sticks. The fried rice with the salt and chilli chicken and beef in black bean is an absolute steal at the price. The chicken steals the show and the black bean sauce ties it all together. Lastly, the pan fried buns have a deletable, juicy filling combined with a textural sensation in your mouth, due to the crispy bottom and slightly charred top.- Service

Good inexpensive hearty food. I recommend the all day lunch special. Two dishes and rice or noodles for £7.50 add a can of coke for £1. This is a Chinese cafe serving home cooked style meals. Don't expect fancy service or doting waiters. Love Soya Express for what it is.

Order the hot and sour beef noodle and it hit all the right spot with perfect spicy and sour. The fried dough sticks and home made soy milk is very authentic. Would go back again as price are reasonable with good portion. But cash only option, so remember to withdraw some cash before you enter.

It’s no exaggeration that this cozy unassuming restaurant is a real godsend where you can get excellent Chinese food here in the city centre, mainly stir-fried dishes but also some real good noodles and soy milk. Is there anything the talented chef cannot do? Their servings are generous, really amazing value for money. Hidden gem serving heartwarming delights.

Very tasty and affordable it could be better if they accept card payments. Quick service. Wide range of foods and drinks. Soya milk is great The pan fried buns (image attached) were so good. Crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Nice beef fillings too.

Really incredible value! The cleanliness is sublime, food is top notch and great value. I was really surprised by the quality of the pork and prawn dumplings and the freshly made soya milk. The only downside is that I live in London but will definitely visit this place again when I’m next in Sheffield. Highly recommended!

Just came here but already loving how clean it is and prices are super affordable. We just got fresh soy milk which is amazing and the right level of sweetness 🤤. Will update when food comes out.
Edit: Food came out and as expected it was delicious!! It didn't taste heavy at all. We got the 2 mains lunch deal with sweet and sour chicken & chicken and chilli with fried rice, and pork and prawn dumpling noodle soup. So incredible fresh and tasty. I need to move to Sheffield 🤤🤤🤤I ordered take away from this asian restaurant. I got the spare ribs in black bean sauce and mapo tofu with pork mince with rice. Was £16. The spare ribs was very tender and the sauce was mild. The mapo tofu was spicy as expected and I loved it. Excellent chinese cuisine! Reminder: they encourage cash payment so please being cash.

The café is clean, the food is excellent value, and they have a designated vegetarian section to the menu. Vegans can be catered to (not sure if the noodles are vegan). Pictured is vegetarian ma po tofu with fresh noodles, which came to £5 total - deliciously chewy and fresh! The lady who runs the shop is friendly and helpful.This is the best food for money that you can get in Sheffield in my opinion. The food is great, comes fast and the price is unbelievable amazing for the amount of food and flavour that you get

Excellent authentic Chinese food. Definitely recommended. Don’t get fooled by the name, this ranks among the best restaurants for Chinese food outside of China!
Great little take away or eat in. Authentic Chinese and also some for the more western taste. Lovely staff too. Very good value.

Tried the Chinese breakfast, which is hard to find in the UK, and this is the best version I've stumbled upon. The warm fried dough - a kind of unsweetened elongated doughnut - went nicely with fresh soy milk and well-made pot sticker dumplings. The menu is clearly laid out in English and a meal sufficient for two came to a little over six quid (note it's cash only). Will return for the lunch / dinner menu, which also looks enticing. You're not paying much for the cafeteria-like decor, but the utilitarian interior reminded me of breakfast spots in Taipei, and it would be a fun, affordable place to go with kids.- Service
