A good selection of different dishes, not run of the mill dim sum. Service exceedingly slow, especially waiting for dim sum, but mains came out fast when we chased. Two dishes were incorrect but still delicious. Server denied they were incorrect and told us it was what we'd ordered, but steamed dishes and fried are quite different. VERY loud.

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.

Yuet Ben is a family-run restaurant, and it is clear to see from looking at the website alone that…read moreit is a popular one. Situated in China Town near to the Gate, it often goes unnoticed sat quietly on the corner. However, Yuet Ben is not like the majority of other Chinese restaurants in the area that stay open til 4am and cater mainly for drunks. Yuet Ben offers gorgeous food at good prices and it is obvious they take pride in everything they do here. The sense of family extends to the customers, even if it's your first time here, and it is somewhere you always mean to go back to but, if you're like me, you keep forgetting. With a fair few celebrity fans as well, this Chinese stands apart from the others and is worth looking into on the odd occasion you might actually want a proper Chinese meal and not a pissed-up beer quencher.

Saying that, it's still cheaper than your average Chinese restaurant, at around £9 for an all-you-can-eat buffet. I strongly recommend going in the early evening, around 6pm just as the dinner buffet starts as the food is fresh. Later in the evening, it does seem like the food has been sat there all night and has dried up. For a bargain meal in a large group before a night out, this place is great - later on you'd better have had a few drinks before you eat here...

The way to gauge the quality of a Chinese is by seeing how many Chinese people actually eat there and this place is full of Chinese diners.

Ma Bo's is, probably like all the restaurants along Chinatown, a very family orientated restaurant, this place just feels it more then most - the fact that granny sits in the corner telling off her children helps. To describe its decor as simple would be too simple, I can't imagine that the place has had a lick of paint since 1964 but the aquamarine walls and fading Chinese prints only add to a surreal timeless quality like it belongs in the Paris of a Bertolucci film - the music when I was here was great, some sort of 60s Chinese stuff, not your usual stereotypical muzak! What I mean is that even going to the toilet is a bit of an adventure and feels like you have been transported to the clutterred hillsides of Hong Kong. I came with my family and once my Da and I had ventured through the tiny kitchen, along the narrow dark passageway out back and to the outhouse, there was no way my mother would leave her table! But it just adds to the sensation that you're round at someone's house which can only be a nice dining experience. The fact that I noticed lots of other Chinese eating here could say a lot about the place.

Local Liverpudlians intoxicated and singing in Cantonese, what can possibly be more entertaining. The interior is very unique indeed. Feels much like Crouching Tiger hidden dragon, an oriental wonderland. It is very spacious and went through a major refurbishment at some stage in the near past. On a different note, I am pleased to report though that the service is excellent and the food is not bad either. The menu features well prepared dishes come to you from all the major Chinese regions, ones deserving special mentions include Cantonese and Szechuan delicacies. You can either choose from the a la carte menu or gorge yourself on the rather large banquet. It really is a case of escapism with this restaurant because as soon as you step out into the real world you will feel slightly underwhelmed.
