The best Chinese in St. Helens - oh yes - by a country mile. The place is not the most highly…read moredecorated in the town but what it suffers from being sometimes barren it more than makes up for by providing absolutely quality food. They have an offer on every Sunday where between 1-8pm you can go and pay just under 6 quid for all you can eat. The drinks are ridiculously priced but since you are eating your own bodyweight in food for next to nothing I dont really think you can complain. The owners have recently purchased the property next to the original Golden Dragon and have 'knocked through' so that the place has doubled in size. This is perfect because it is now possible to sit away from the screaming kids and their disinterested parents who sometimes frequent the place when it gets busy. There is also a downstairs section for when the main eating rooms are full. The staff are always very friendly, the service is excellent and I could not recommend the place highly enough to anyone looking for a nice Chinese in St. Helens

Food is good, nice atmosphere so can't complain about that…read more But I can complain about seeing the manager pick up a napkin from a customer's table to clean up a spill on the floor and then throwing the used crumpled napkin back onto their table. Very unhygienic

As part of a restaurant chain, this isn't much different than your average chinese buffet!…read more Massive open space with lots of seating - maybe a little too big! A good variety of chinese dishes and desserts - if you want it, they've probably got it! Nice touch of a 'make your own' teppanyaki area, which is freshly prepared in front of you. Freshly made pancakes also avaliable. Food is probably not as fresh as it could be, and is usually warm rather than hot. Is also quite expensive than your average chinese, could probably get same quality elsewhere for cheaper!

The service was prompt & polite and the decor was well maintained and easy on the eyes. There is nothing remarkable at Mr. Chans but you got exactly what you were expecting and for that I give 3 stars. Just as importantly I would happily go back when I'm working in the area again. X = You've gotta be kidding me XX = trying but not reaching the standard expected or advertised XXX = achieving the standards expected/advertised however high that might be XXXX = they're doing something special here, above expected standards of service XXXXX = WOW! you gotta go here!

The service was nice enough, friendly and quick and the prices where competitive with other takeaways in the area but I wasn't impressed with the food. It just didn't taste very nice; it was greasy and had little flavour. There isn't any parking at the front so you have to park in the pub car park across the road and walk over. It may just have been an off day but I wasn't impressed.

Fantastic Chinese option for Pudlians and Mancunians alike!! This pace was an absolute find for me…read more Set in a very much traditional Cantonese restaurant decorum. I was expecting bog standard city to entertain me. I was pleasently surprised!! Th restaurant offers an extensive a la carte menu which includes decent marine collection of the likes of Dover Sole, Turbot and Sea Bass, Lobster, Mussels, Soft Shell Crab and Oysters. Good start eh? It gets better as well as traditional Cantonese Style cooking the menu throws up some decent surprises in the form of some Thai and Malaysian Dishes. How do you like them apples Mr.Diner??!! Ample car parking space coupled with a decent value food options make this place a step apart from the other Chinese eatery options!!
