Rivers

Rivers occupies a prominent corner on Cross Church Street and is one of the better Chinese restaurants in Huddersfield's town centre. The kitchen leans into Cantonese and wider Chinese cooking rather than the standard British-Chinese menu, and the staff will steer adventurous diners toward the more traditional dishes — chilli beef from the full Chinese menu is a favourite, as is the plum and chilli chicken. Over 300 Google reviews average 4.2 stars, a score that reflects consistent food and generous portions rather than a single good night. There is a dedicated vegan section covering tofu dishes, spring rolls and fried vermicelli noodles. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible throughout, and the dining room is notably child-friendly. Closed on Tuesdays; open for both lunch and dinner the rest of the week.
