I was in Liverpool to spend some time with family friends after visiting London. We planned to have…read moredinner here and supposedly is one of the better Chinese restaurants in Liverpool. The parking lot is quite large, so lots of parking spots available. There is also a supermarket located in the basement floor of the restaurant. Upon entering, I noticed it looked a bit dated. All of the lights are probably very, incredibly dusty... most likely hasn't been cleaned since the day they opened. Lots of lights, but still managed to have very dim lighting. We went for the 8 course dinner set, which you can choose 8 dishes to get out of the many dishes they offer for this set. Let me preface first that I am from Boston and definitely have had New England/Maine lobster BUT I honestly never realized how good our lobsters are. The ginger scallion stir fried lobster with yee mein was a generous portion, but taste wise I couldn't get down with it. The lobster has a bad aftertaste that kind of just lingers & the yee mein was not actually even yee mein... plus could've been more flavorful. The best dishes I found they had were the duck & the soup. I think it's quite difficult to mess up on both those dishes though, to be frank. The worst dish I had here was the chicken. Everyone at our table agreed that it was extremely dry & barely edible. Cleanliness: One thing that I am always looking for and super mindful of when I first sit down to eat at a restaurant is how clean are their utensils? How clean are the plates & bowls? etc. Plates were pretty dirty, bowls were fine for soup, & utensils-- it is a good thing they do single use wooden chopsticks. Overall, their food is not great but also good Chinese food in England is either really hard to find or doesn't exist. The Chinatown in Liverpool is a ghost town and looks abandoned , so my guess is that good, authentic Chinese food must be rare to come by.

It's not the easiest of places to find, being tucked away on a quiet street in a downstairs location but it's worth persevering as the excellent food makes a trip to the Regent well worth it. The menu is extensive and the service is excellent. I've eaten there on numerous occasions and can't fault the food. I also love the fact that you never feel rushed and you can happily spend a whole evening there without feeling pressurized to clear your table for other customers. Perhaps the only downside is the price with meals being a little on the expensive side but you get what you pay for and the delicious selection of Cantonese dishes mean the Regent is well worth the expense.

When I knew I'd be heading to Blackpool and have solo time during which I wouldn't be heading to…read morerestaurants with others, I asked a friend to recommend some spots they'd eaten at and enjoyed. Ocean Palace was one of the three suggested. When I arrived at the large restaurant Saturday night around 6:00 p.m., the place was fairly empty -- one couple, one large family with kids. Normally, this would concern me -- crowds are an indicator of good food, especially at meal times, right? -- but since it was off-season, that was perhaps to be expected, and since I had that recommendation, I went for it. The servers were professional, and the food came quickly. I ordered hot and sour soup, roast duck with plum sauce, and fried rice. Funny thing -- I somehow expected the hot and sour soup to be different than the hot and sour soup I get back in the U.S., but I guess it's the same all over. I felt as if I was at home. The duck surprised me, though. I guess I expected a dry-roasted duck with sauce either on the side or drizzled over the slices, but instead, the slices of duck were sitting in a bowl of plum sauce. Not that I'm complaining ... I was just surprised. The meat was moist, the sauce lightly flavored, not overpowering the duck. I'd definitely go back to explore a little deeper into the menu when next in Blackpool.

I had the pleasure of finally trying dim sum su's vegetarian bao buns during Chinese New Year…read moreweekend and I was not disappointed! My husband loved his chicken version too. I've wanted to try bao buns for a long while now but the majority of places do pork versions and as I don't eat pork that left me out to dry. Luckily Su caters to all and the crispy aubergine and sweet pepper vege bao buns are utterly delightful. Packed full of flavour and dangerously moorish. At around 3.50 each they aren't badly priced either. I'd need two for lunch but one is perfect for a quick snack. We went to the event stall on St Anne's Square but we're delighted to hear she's got a place on deansgate. I genuinely can't wait to try these again. Su herself is such a lovely, bubbly person. She clearly loves what she does and you can taste that in the lovely homemade food she sells.

The staff were friendly although they tended to hover over you or stand in the side watching you eat which I found a little off putting. The menu was large with lots of choices.

The meal was tasty although the vegetables in my main dish were a bit cold hence the 4 stars. With a beer and a Bailys the meal came to £30 which is not too bad for the amount of food I had. Would come back again.

My partner and I often walked past this restaurant without even noticing it was actually there,…read morethis is due to the restaurant being above a store. After we were made aware that it was a cantonese restaurant, we agreed we would try it out one night. The evening we visited was on a Sunday in April, the place was empty which put us off slightly as we seem to find that quiet places are not very popular, but we made the assumption that it was in fact the Easter weekend. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the sounds of Chinese music playing on the system is just about right to still have a conversation with the people you are dining with. I won't go into boring detail about the food, but it was delicious and cooked to perfection, we had 2 courses each and had no room for anything else. Two small suggestions would be to add toothpicks on the table, we had spare ribs for starters and had bits stuck between out teeth, also the packed hand wipes could be replaced by hot wet towels on a plate, this is not a criticism though, just a personal preference of mine. The staff are lovely, definitely service with a smile and made us feel very welcome, we have now been at least five times and the place has been a lot busier than our first time and if you need anything then all you need to do is look over to the service area and they are straight over. I wouldn't say Lou Shang was the best cantonese restaurant I have tried, but it definitely is in the top 1.

We'd heard good things about this restaurant, so when the family wanted Chinese takeaway, I was…read moreready to try this place over the old standby staple Tree View, which I really don't care for. We ordered take out on New Year's Eve, and when we called at 5:30 pm, they told us they were overwhelmed and we'd have to call back as they couldn't tell us when our order would be ready by. We had to pick up a few last minute bits from the supermarket, so we decided to drop in and order in person. Thankfully, this was the right move as we heard them tell people the same thing over the phone that they weren't taking anymore orders right now. The restaurant was packed with diners, and they told us our order would be ready in 2 hours at 8 pm which was fine. When our family arrived for pickup though they had to wait, so we think everything was just made right then which at least meant everything was piping hot and freshly made. For the 5 of us, we ordered Deep Fried Chili Chicken, Duck & Plum, Beef Ho Fun Dry Noodles, 2 Fried Rices, Salt & Pepper Chips and 1 order of chips. The bill was 35 pounds. While the food was good, the portions were a bit small. We definitely could have used one more dish for the 5 of us. I'm American, so it's a bit weird to me to order fries with Chinese food, but apparently that's a big deal here and a must. The order of chips was incredibly dinky. The order of salt & pepper chips was a bigger portion though (though my family still thought it was small, but the regular chips just came in a tiny little paper bag). The salt & pepper chips were really good though and they were probably my favorite dish I tried. The noodles needed a bit more flavor, but I do like a thick wide noodle, so that part was nice. We ordered them dry, so maybe that wasn't the go-to move here. I added a dash of soy sauce which was okay. I wanted to love this dish since I love noodles, but this was just okay/good. The duck dish was crispy and my sister-in-law said that was her favorite dish. It wasn't saucy; it wasn't what I expected, but it was okay/good. The chili chicken dish was definitely better than other similar dishes I've had in the UK. This is my sibling-in-laws go-to-dish, so I've had several iterations and they are always too sickly sweet. Thankfully, this one was not and it wasn't terribly saucy either. I liked the crispiness of the chicken, but because of the sauce it loses a bit of that crunch factor. If my husband and I were just ordering, I probably wouldn't choose this dish, but it was still ok/good. The same goes for the duck dish -- these aren't the type of dishes I'd typically get, but both were pretty alright. The fried rice was pretty standard and basic. No complaints, but no compliments either. I really liked the seasoning of the salt & pepper chips which was like a vinegar sauce with chillies. I loved this dish and I'd order this again. Anyway, I haven't been terribly impressed with Chinese food in general in the north, but this was one of the better versions I've had in the area and I definitely would be happy to order take away from here again (there's not loads of options in this area and it's definitely one of the better options).

Near Liverpool's foremost racecourse wouldn't necessarily be somewhere you'd imagine a Chinese…read morerestaurant would reside, and rather than being frequented by people of its same ethnic background it's rumoured that the owners of the prestigious 60 Hope Street restaurant enjoy some scran in there - Gary and Colin Manning, to be precise. Heck, this place does good Oriental fare, with some delicious Cantonese and Peking options and it's certainly a calming and relaxing place to be with all its minimalist white decor, again not something you see a lot of in Chinese restaurants. Still, someone's got to buck the paper lampshade trend, although all that white around such sticky sauces made me rather nervous. I didn't want to feel like a little piggy. Especially with lobster around. You might not think it's easy to get to but if you stop off at Old Roan station (assuming you're travelling by train), it's right nearby and only a five minute brisk walk from Aintree racecourse itself. The restaurant is a fairly young one, the service swell, and the owner well-renowned. I'd give it a flutter if I were you.
