Tai Pan Chinese Restaurant - lobster with "yee mein"

Tai Pan Chinese Restaurant

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.

Although we usually have more than just dim sum - ordering a few as well. Whether its a rice dish, noodle dish, maybe some veg too. The quality is always pretty good and the food comes quick. The restaurant has a car park which is handy as well as the large Chinese supermarket on the ground floor.

We dined around 8.00 pm on a Friday night and the restaurant was half full. The staff seemed to…read moreknow everyone dining other than us. We ate as follows: Spicy/Salty Mushrooms - Divine Crispy Seaweed - Just as we remembered it Noodles with beansprouts - Fantastic, light and tasty Sea Bass with Ginger and Spring Onion - Divine, light and flaky Crispy Shredded Beef in Cantonese Sauce - Too much sauce, the beef was not crispy, the sauce was delicious but half the amount would have done and this is how we would order it next time. All washed down with cold sake and house white. Too much food for 2 but we ate it all! Service was flexible and friendly. The bill came to $85 - the quality was more than worth this.

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.

I popped in to The Kitchens the other day to catch up with Jimmy (Nasi Lemak) and got chatting to…read moreSue who runs Dim Sum Su. Her passion and energy for what she does is amazing and extremely contagious! I'd already got some Fried Chicken to go from Jimmy but looking at the food Sue was making and hearing her tell me all about it, I couldn't not have some, so I opted to go for something I've never tasted before as appose to my usual Dumplings that I get all the time from anywhere that will do them! I went for a Pan-Fried Duck Bao - honestly, go and get one for lunch, you won't regret it! In fact, speaking of lunch, Dim Sum Su do a great £5 meal deal which gets you a Bao, Fries and a Drink - amazing!

Wow! Thats the…read morefirst world that springs to mind, and is by far THE BEST Chinese Restaurant I have been to bar none. When first seeing the outside of the building you are greeted with a oriental themed front, with an overhanding roof and two guard lions outside. Once through the double doors you come across a cozy layout, with roughly 8-10 tables of varying sizes. Not a huge place the layout used to comply with a local public house, however the decor is great with glowing red windows (obviously behind a fake wall) and great decoration throughout. Seating is ample and the ambiance isn't overpowering. Service Is great, the people are helpful and attentive without being too nosy or prying... which on occasion is a fine balance. Drinks were offered as soon as we sat down and menus handed out without a fuss. Food This is sit down buffet style menu though please don't be put off with the word 'buffet'. Your meals are all freshly prepared and served to you as you would a traditional restaurant. For £13.95 per head you get ample choice of starters and main courses. Myself I have tried almost everything on the menu (not in one visit!) and I absolutely love: Crispy Seaweed (Fried cabbage usually) Barbecue Ribs Salt and Chilli Ribs - vegetarian option - the vegetable mix with lettuce wrap. Oh and the soups are great too: The Crab meat and sweetcorn soup is my fav Main courses are all what you would expect with the addition of Thia Cuisine too. Again I loved: Garlic and Chilli King Prawns with Egg Fried Rice ( Prawns are butterflied) In conclusion if your in the area this is a great place to go and well worth a visit! p.s. limited parking at the front, otherwise parking is on the street which can be busy at times.

Only ever used this place for take away so can't comment on eating in. Usually have Chicken in…read moreHoney with Chilli and boiled rice really good food and always speedy service.
