However, its beef stew soup noodles is the best and most authentic Asian food that I have had in the past 2-1/2 weeks in Norway and now England.

No matter: the server graciously pointed us to our seats and we were greeted with a basket of light-as-air puffed rice crackers with three dipping sauces. The menu is standard Thai: noodles, curries, rice dishes. What they do, they do well: my order of pad thai (complete with nice-sized prawn) hit all the right notes, while their green curry packed a pungent but not overwhelming heat. Definitely recommend if in the area

A brief history of Chinatown favourites…read more..... I was introduced to real Chinees food - I mean proper Chinese food, not gwailo-style, westernised stuff - in the late eighties, by my old friend Ronnie Chan. Ronnie and I would go weekly to Win Wah on Portland Street, an astoundingly cheap place where dishes cost £3-4, and I learned very quickly to use chopsticks (out of necessity - otherwise Ronnie would have eaten all the grub before I had any chance). Then Ronnie moved back to Hong Kong, Win Wah disappeared, and I was in the wilderness. After some years of searching, I found a new home at Wong Chu. Cheap, no-nonsense, with high-quality offerings - the noodle dishes, and the duck / pork / squid were always spot-on, I wandered the streets, checked the menus, and tried the other places - but always found myself returning to Wong Chu, because it was cheaper and better than the competition. I dined there hundreds of times. One Saturday morning in 2001, I opened my newspaper and saw the headline "Hacked to Death by Triad Maniacs". It was Mr Wong and his family. I'd seen Mrs Wong go through her two pregnancies, watched her kids scurry excitedly around the place, and I was devastated. But the restaurant re-opened, now managed by Mr Wong's adult daughter from a previous marriage, and continued to deliver great dining..... for another 5 or 6 years. Then it went into a sad decline - I have no idea why - and by the end, it was a pale shadow of its former self. Back to the wilderness. Now I have a new home in Chinatown. As good as Win Wah & Wong Chu at their respective peaks, with the same format - no-frills, low-end prices, but great quality, a relaxed and friendly informal atmosphere, and a menu of Hong Kong-style Chinese dishes that are a world away from the MSG-laden gwailo junk that's so ubiquitous in UK Chinese restaurants, Fu's is the real deal. Welcome home.

A blink and you'll miss it gem. Not named after whoever that damn person Mr T was referring to when…read morehe got annoyed, Fu's is instead a traditional Hong Kong style café with a huge amount of hot, yummy options including your usual szechuans and sweet and sours, chow meins and hoi sins, and they're all lovely enough, but what you want to try here are the more unusual, authentic dishes. My favourite is the fish stew, done hot pot style and just so delicious you'd happily force yourself to eat too. Combos and sauces you might not have encountered before are the order of the day here and the creativity pays dividends. The secret trick here is not to be given the blue menu. They'll automatically pass it on if they think you're English, but it's the red one you want; that's what harbours all the wonderful stuff. The drinks are interesting too, especially the traditional Hong Kong iced tea, it's uber refreshing. And with wicked prices and smart service to boot, this is one gem you should ensure won't stay hidden long. Get stuck in.

Relatively new place opened in Stockton Heath in Warrington. If your after Chinese buns, cakes,…read moretea, noodles, stir fry etc then this is the place to go. Wide selection of Chinese buns aka bao. Since opening they have started doing more savoury things like wonton soup and Singapore noodles. They have different set meals / offers. For £5.95 you get one tea - green tea, Jasmine tea etc and 3 "bao" from a choice of about 10. Good value as the buns are big in size. The buns taste just like the buns you get from Chinatown. The noodles were big too. Bigger bowl than expected. I have Singapore noodles which had a good portion of chicken in it. Looking at menu, they do lots. Also saw photos of the Chinese birthday/wedding etc cakes they do. If you have never had a Christmas "birthday" cake your missing out. Check out their web site for the menu to check out everything they do and all the deals. Also check out the gallery and the different cakes. They also have a loyalty card - get 10 stamps and get free soup, noodle or stir fry. Three of us went and we are almost already half way to a free dish. You can a stamp for liking on Facebook or following on Twitter. The place actually won a best business in Warrington award.

As far as I know, they have four shops at the moment. One is in Heswall, one in West Kirby, one in Oxton and one in Hoylake. This is positive news for anyone that lives on the Wirral, as they have a 5 mile delivery radius and this pretty much means you can order a Flame and Wok to anywhere in Wirral. Their boxes of noodles are delightful, as are their salt and pepper chicken wings and salt and pepper ribs. I would also recommend their spring rolls and their sweet and sour chicken with noodles. They are quite pricey compared to other Chinese takeaways based around the Wirral, but you're paying for quality and that's what you get.. every time!

Put down that flyer about a circus you won't go to and watch the show. Your eyebrows will be quite safe. The ordering is as quick as the prep, the 'wok' side of the menu (noodles and rice dishes) divided into three stages: noodle type, filling (chicken, beef, prawn etc) and spice, in escalating degrees of heat. Each of these ingredients within each 'stage' has its own corresponding number; perfect if you're too hungry to talk properly. As for the 'chop' component of It all, you pick your ingredients for a wrap, with extras such as duck rolls or Thai fishcakes available to supplement your folded tortilla if it won't touch the sides. The price isn't too shabby either. You can expect to put chilli and more on your tongue for around a fiver - a nice alternative to pizzas and burgers, with a sense your lunch hasn't been lying around since breakfast.

So it was one of those nights where it took aaaages to decide where to eat..despite living in…read moreManchester with millions of places to choose from..a bit like Netflix I guess.. Anyway we had originally settled on Red Chili on Portland Street because their menu looked divine online...however do not expect a warm welcome if you turn up at 9.30pm...Expect to receive a cold scowl and shoulder to match instead..so we left.. Anyway back to this place....Mooching through China town we thought ''hey lets try here'' the odd name certainly intrigued us... Instantly a cute waitress beckoned us in, pleasantly handing us a menu and guiding us to a table...each table was simply set with Chinese bowls and chopsticks which gave it that humble feeling... The menu in all honesty offered you items you would find on any Chinese menu, except for the odd fancy Sea bass dish.What grabbed our attention was the set meal where you could choose 3 items EACH from the starter menu, quarter of a duck to share , a main meal and rice/noodles each and a dessert....all for £24 ....bargain.. I was quite concerned how we were going to demolish this all...I mean my handbag was big that night..but the potential doggy bag was not going to fit... The starters to my relief were manageable , there were 4 pieces of assorted dumplings, dried seaweed, one chicken kebab and two hot and sour soups...which came in cute little glass casserole dishes.... The dumplings were like any other, but the soup ...tasted quite OXO cubey....very heavily flavoured in beef stock... The duck flew in next, to which a really polite waiter lovingly shred it in front of us... I admit I broke my Pescaterian diet because it looked so good...plus ducks live on water right? The mains , again ...these did not stand out...they were like any other Chinese Takeaway but the excellent service and friendly atmosphere ...made this special.. By the time we tried to eat this...there was no room for dessert and we were the last ones there..So I thought it would be polite and let these lovely people go home... Overall this place is really good value for money, I think it would be ideal for a large group to meet here and dine. as there would be no quibble about the expense.. The staff are just so genuine , and approachable..I think foodwise this is a three star,,,waiter wise I gives it a four...

Unassuming from the outside and oddly named, BBQ Handmade Noodles King serves delicious food at…read morevery reasonable prices. They also serve beer (ordinary lager) in jugs, which is excellent. We asked if one jug would be enough for our party of 3, to which the faultless response was "that depends how thirsty you are". As my visit here was about a month ago, the finer points are now lost in my memory. The stand-out dishes (the ones that I find myself daydreaming about) are the deep fried aubergine and the cold garlic belly pork. Give me a pile of each of these and I'll be very happy. Don't take squeamish companions here (or do, if you want to scare them). The menu is replete with various types of offal and organ. We ordered some lamb's ovary which was tasty enough - I'd order it again as part of a selection of dishes but it doesn't linger on my mind quite like the aubergine and the pork. The eponymous handmade noodles are delicious - thick and slightly chewy, in a delicious broth. Ours came with beef cooked with garlic and ginger, which was great. We ordered some baby squid skewers but had to make do with 'adult' squid as they had none. This was the main disappointment of the meal - so tough and chewy we struggled to maintain our dignity while gnawing through it. The seasoning hadn't permeated the squid at all and just left a greasy yet chalky residue on my tongue. Boiled rice was, you know, whatever. It's not something I ever personally choose (feels like a waste of time, money and calories) but it was sort of added to the order in a "and how many portions of rice would you like?" way. Food and beer for three greedy, thirsty people came to around £40. I would eat everything again other than the squid and would love to go back to try some more exciting and unusual dishes from their menu.
