It's not the easiest of places to find, being tucked away on a quiet street in a downstairs location but it's worth persevering as the excellent food makes a trip to the Regent well worth it. The menu is extensive and the service is excellent. I've eaten there on numerous occasions and can't fault the food. I also love the fact that you never feel rushed and you can happily spend a whole evening there without feeling pressurized to clear your table for other customers. Perhaps the only downside is the price with meals being a little on the expensive side but you get what you pay for and the delicious selection of Cantonese dishes mean the Regent is well worth the expense.

The staff were friendly although they tended to hover over you or stand in the side watching you eat which I found a little off putting. The menu was large with lots of choices. I decided to got back to the 80's with the classic lineup of chicken and sweet corn soup, ribs and king prawn with fried rice. The meal was tasty although the vegetables in my main dish were a bit cold hence the 4 stars. With a beer and a Bailys the meal came to £30 which is not too bad for the amount of food I had. Would come back again.

The beauty of this place is as well as eating in you can take away, I think that must be where they get a great deal of their business from. As far as I know this is the only Cantonese restaurant in Middlesbrough, personally I found the food to be amazing and since then I have eaten in several other Cantonese restaurants. When we eat there the restaurant was fairly quiet but it was early in the evening, my favourite dish without a doubt was the crispy duck, I have never tasted duck that was this nice. Everyone I have spoken to raves about this place, I have never heard any bad reviews, quite the opposite everyone claims it is the best off they have ever tasted. This is perhaps why their takeaway option is so popular. Price wise I found it to be quite reasonable for the quality of food. The staff were very polite and accommodating, I would definitely recommend anyone that has not eaten here to give it a go.

Full dim sum menu, with some Sichuan and even some Macau dishes. It's attached to a large Asian food market. Very 1930's Hong Kong style. The entry is at the back through the car park of the food supermarket and parking can be complex so make sure you check the parking rules! They have brisk service (authentically Cantonese) do you will need to be firm when ordering, particularly on Sundays. They have a wonderful busy, bustling atmosphere especially on weekends. Standouts: Solid har gow and wonderful, fragrant prawn chive dumplings. Cuttlefish dumpling is the delicious stand- out along with the choy with ginger. Excellent refreshing fresh jasmine tea!

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 then said did they do a can of proper coke hurry yes. But they wanted 3.35 for a can ok coke and when j pointed out a can is 250ml a half a pint I was told it's the managers pricing.

I would say…read moreit's the best I've found thus far (but still a bit far off from my favorite Chinatown haunts in Los Angeles and New York-- perhaps because it's Cantonese as opposed to what I'm used to). The restaurant is very well presented and the staff friendly. And it is a relief to see a Chinese restaurant owned, operated and staffed by Chinese people. But i still do often wish I could have some of what they're eating as opposed to what they're serving their guests... Have the salt and pepper squid for an appetizer (although I'd eat it as an entree!)-- light, flaky and well-seasoned.

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.
