Mayfair Chinese Restaurant

Frankly, I can't believe that i'm the first person to write a review for this place. A chinese…read morerestaurant called Mayfair has existed on this site for many years, and was the first chinese that my mother visited back in the 60s, and I have been visiting it for at least 20 years. In this age of all-you-can-eat chinese buffets, Mayfair makes a refreshing change (because it isn't one, as most new Nottingham chinese restaurants seem to be). Firstly, the decor is no-frills. Clean and simple. The place has a very informal atmosphere. They are not licensed, so you can take your own alcohol, which automatically makes for a cheaper bill. There are plenty of off-licenses nearby, so this system works fine. The menu is fairly standard chinese fodder, with a few unusual dishes thrown in for good measure. Occassionally there will also be an additional 'specials' menu, where new and more unusual dishes appear. The food is always good quality, and always arrives hot. Portions are generous, and Mike the manager is very helpful and friendly. I have recommended this place to many people, who have in turn recommended it to all and sundry. Pricewise, Mayfair represents fantastic value. I often go with friends, and we all have a soup to start along with some other mixed starters to share (ribs etc), and then we all have a main course with rice or noodles. When the bill comes, it seldom works out at more than £11 per head. It gets very busy on Friday and Saturday night, so book ahead to avoid disappointment. I love the friendly, informal, unpretentious nature of the place. Great to visit with friends, and they can cater for large groups if needed to. I probably would not recommend it if you fancy a romantic and intimate night out, or if you value decor above food and value. The only reason I can't bring myself to give this place 5 stars is because the speed of service can suffer somewhat at peak times, but for me it is always worth the wait. My recommendations? The king prawn and sweetcorn soup (although i've been told the hot and sour soup is exceptional), the salt and pepper spare ribs (dry, but spicy and delicious), and the squid in szechuan sauce. If you live in Nottingham and love chinese food but haven't tried Mayfair, where have you been?!

Lovely, local and charming. Road worn, we were looking easy and fresh. It delivered on both…read morepoints.

An excellent Chinese restaurant in Eastwood. This restaurant operates on an all-you-can eat basis…read morewith a twist all the food is cooked to order and there is table service! No messing about going up to a buffet counter, just order with your server what dishes you would like next. Chicken Satay is excellent, as is the pork. In fact, all the dishes are cooked excellently and are very fresh. Don't go overboard on ordering dishes however! Also offer takeaways, of which I believe there is an offer along the lines of 3 dishes for £10, so long as one dish is a rice. A must visit for anyone in the area.

Sadly I found myself the only diner in the restaurant but still I went in to give it a go. Strange…read morethat they had to switch the music on to create the atmosphere as it looked like they were alarmed that I had walk through their open door. Once I was sat down (so many empty seats to choose) I was brought a drinks menu that had certainly seen better days a food menu which just listed the options for the all you can eat and a poor attempt for prawn crackers. They looked like the ones you would get out of a bag at Tesco not the big light but crunchy ones I get in my local Chinese in Bristol. So on to the food to start I ordered salt and pepper squid which was actually rather nice however I made a mistake and ordered salt and pepper beef as well. The beef came out like pork crackling and was vary salty compared to the squid. For my main I thought I would go for something with a bit of zing so ordered Chicken in lemon sauce and pork and mushrooms. Pork and mushrooms were good however the chicken was battered, hard and crunchier and the sauce resembled lemon curd not nice. I had some egg fried rice with it and there was just something about it that didn't seem like my locals egg fried rice. It was like the rice had been over boiled and the egg was added at a later stage and I doubt neither components had been fried at all. I know this seems harsh but I tell it as I find it and the most bizarre thing of all us the tables were laid out with spoons and forks........hello excuse me where are the chop sticks of do the people of Nottingham not have an ability to use them!!!!!!!!
