Blue Diamond Restaurant in Rochdale

We hadn’t been for a while. It was interesting to find it didn’t seem to have changed in years - the same great service and food. The ground floor room is a little on the small side so it can feel a little cramped.

Great food and service and well priced. It's a bit like travelling back in time but if you want a good value Chinese meal I'd recommend it for sure.

Warm welcome from lovely staff and a party of 16 were treated to great food and perfect service....highly recommend...

Excellent food! The staff are really attentive and the food & drinks are so reasonably priced. I always come here every few months.

Very nice ,small,family restaurant with good food

The Lady seemed to not be very happy at all, very few staff, - one of the staff looked like he had just woken up. Food not too bad, but very expensive and small portions. I think the owner has given up - (previous people very good.) Even the waving cat has given up - needs a battery I suppose.

Brilliant service and excellent food. Would highly recommend this restaurant. Top night out with friends.

Great staff,amazing food would defo recommend 👌 👍 😋

Ordered delivery, food was drenched in garlic and only that. Spent £36 and half of it has gone in the bin. Salt and pepper chips... just garlic and onion on them. Salt and pepper chicken with chicken that resembles popcorn chicken from a sweaty stall. Vegetable chow mein that barely had anything to it. Just disappointing.

Just ordered blue diamond, £35 pound spent! Salt and pepper chips! Soggy and tasteless, salt and pepper chicken wings! Soggy and tasteless, special chowmien! 2 prawns, 2 slices off pork, don't think any chicken! £4.50 for a carton off curry whish was like water! Fuming is an understatement!! I'll never order from here again.

Great restaurant 👌 The food was gorgeous, the staff was 💯💯💯💯. Definitely be back xxxx 11 of us and everyone was served at the same time . Fantastic 💯💯💯💯💥💥💥💥

Great food and friendly staff served up excellent food. Would highly recommend it.

Great friendly service every time we visit. The staff are very welcoming and professional. Food is very nice. Nothing is too much trouble.

Ordered a take away... I don't think I've ever written a review, i normally just put it down to a bad experience and don't order from them again, but I felt I needed to write something. We've ordered a takeaway and spent £80.00. The portions were that small I thought our main meals had been forgotten ! I had to switch the oven on to warm the kids chips. The food was dry and not appetising at all. And very expensive.. tiny silver tray of beef in ginger ? ( thought it was a starter my husband had ordered ) £9.60... small tray of seaweed £6.50. Never again !!!!!!

Foods great, service was slow but friendly, it's not the cheapest but very good quality, definitely worth a visit but be mindful there is very limited parking

There is no getting past the fact that the dining room is dated and could use a makeover that said the food was deliciously scrumptious. It is worth a visit to sample the culinary delights that await the hungry traveller.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, but most of all great service and great food! Definitely going back again

We been there last 20 years, always been fantastic food, service. Owners always friendly and kind to help. Yesterday we been for my son BD 5 adults and 2 kids.... We did not find owners there, staffs said they go for holiday. Right.... Food is terrible, presentation is could not be worth.... All dishes (starters and main) coming in one go, but not for every one. Orders been taking wrong.... Size of portions just a couple peases diving in full plate of something, which is not possible to call south.... Just apologise every single step.... Waitress look like first day working.... etc... Long story short - all night we are all 5 adults and 2 kids have a bad stomachs...... 👎 Never again. And never recommend it to anyone else.......

Fried rice almost no meat at all. Spare ribs was vile, almost made me sick being Undercooked in middle and fatty and slimey. Sweet and sour probably the worst ive tasted for a while. Only thing that was not a fail was the duck even though it was very small. Wont be reordering but seems a shame as most of the sit in reviews look great

Lovely restaurant, pleasant atmosphere, food was good but not especially hot

Best Chinese I've had in the OL region

All the family love it here. Great treatment and the food is great. The Grandson has been going since he was little and at now 15, still loves it. It also does take away.

Always excellent food and service is impeccable

Never disappoints, been here many times, service excellent food always beautiful.

We have ordered several takeaway meals from here in last couple of years. Have always been extremely happy with all aspects of them, and happily left good reviews on Just Eat etc. However, tonight's meal was nothing short of terrible. Beef in black bean sauce ... uncooked peppers, half cooked onions. Tough beef and thin watery sauce. Kung Po chicken ... little peanuts, bulked out with so much carrot and so little chicken, it could have been a vegetarian dish. The dim sum was good though.

The chicken noodle soup was nice but the beef and brocolli had an unbelievable amount of garlic in it. It was so overpowering, it should be renamed garlic, beef and brocolli. Won't be eating there again.

I love Chinese food and eat it quite a lot. I often choose restaurants rather than takeaways as the food is normally better. This was disappointing. I had pork and cashew nuts and boiled rice. The pork dish was loaded with garlic which is unusual but I like garlic. Other than that it had very little taste at all. Completely unseasoned, gloopy and bland. The pork was thin and so soft it might have well have not been these. No texture whatsoever and the cashew nuts were similar. It’s not very often I don’t finish my meal but didn’t even get past halfway. Not a one star as the staff were nice.

Amazing restaurant with friendly staff and delicious food!

We could have sworn this was a "Cantonese" Restaurant. What an utter disappointment as we have eaten here in the past when it was run by the original "older couple" who we have acknowledged many times in COSTCO whilst shopping. They were not there ... and left the kitchen to be run by youngsters who have a completely different menu to what we were accustom to ... and so ignorant when my partner complained "I just tell the kitchen" is not a response to the utter disgrace of a Special Chow Mein which was like soup served on the smallest plate available. The Spare Ribs we noticed two ladies next to us were served traditional spare ribs whilst we had the "knuckle ends". We took some home for the dog who turned her nose up. The red sauce is still on our fingers a day later. Very very sorry youngsters, this is no longer our choice of venue. £65 cost was irrelevant in this review. Hopefully we will see the "old couple" in COSTCO again one day but we will have to find another place to eat.

Really nice place. They treat you very well. The waiters are very pleasant and polite. The prawn crackers are out of this world. The food was super tasty. And I love how the place is decorated. We booked for 6.30 and we were the first customers in. But it soon filled up and the staff seemed to have everything under control. Going again for valentines day

Absolutely fab great food great staff highly recommended definitely be returning soon

A friend took us for my friend's and my birthday, the food was superb, the service was faultless, the smells intoxicating. I had sweet and sour chicken with boiled rice and chips half and half. Generous portions. We had the little spring rolls as starters and no dessert WELL I had a birthday cake so we had a slice of that. Can't comment on the price because it was a gift, but when we asked, he said he was pleasantly surprised.

Ordered takeaway NYE. Fancied restaurant food rather than just takeaway food and glad we ordered. Quick delivery and enjoyed all the dishes delivered.It’s more expensive than a normal takeaway however the standard of food was much better and we will def be ordering again.

Been going now for over 20 years wouldnt go anywhere else its the best !!!! Michael is a star lovely family couldnt do enough for you. Had food when travelled around and nothing compares .

Disappointing sadly. Had better for half the price from a takeaway in Harrogate recently. Overcooked duck, boiled bland chicken. Overpriced.

Visited Sunday night , food is excellent, customer service was top notch . Starters were very good , crispy Duck was A1 , 3 main courses all very good . Good menu , all good 👍🏻

Lovely food - to eat in or take away. Cosy tables so best for smaller groups and got to be quick to get the on street parking but always been able to find a spot. I love the small family feel of it as you can tell everyone cares and is hard working. Very attention staff, (I think it’s the mum) is amazing at shredding the duck, just watch! Would recommend so many things on the menu. Love it here. Busy but not over booked. After moving I still drive over from saddleworth to visit. Thank you for having such a excellent restaurant. Have always recommended you xx

Had the banquet for two - delicious, decent portions. The duck was really excellent . Could not fault the impeccable service. Really enjoyed my evening.

Absolute tastelsss, then eat a rib, but a second and realised they weren’t even cooked feel sick, coated in the batter I wouldn’t have even seen it if it was in the first one

Great place good food and very helpful staff

What a treasure of a find. My family have been looking for a good Chinese restaurant that is close to us for some time and Blue Diamond didn't disappoint. The food was fresh and the portion sizes were good as well. Also the service was impeccable and very attentive. I would highly recommend this place to friends and family! Thanks for a great time!

Food was unbelievable as per usual, couldn’t fault it. Staff extremely friendly and service was great. Can’t wait to go again.

First time order lemon chic lovely fresh but basic no garnish . salt and pepper King prawn and fried rice ,needed chilli rating as was way too hot and unfortunately for someone with mild taste buds was absolutely inedible an a waste of money not to mention a big disappointment. sweet and sour chic was the best of 3 as very tasty, lots of veg and garnish and perfect sauce ,delivery on time . definitely needs more food ingredients info and chilli ratings.

Ordered for the first time tonight and certainly won't be the last. Be trying to find a decent Chinese takeout restaurant for years and we've finally found one! Food was authentic, fresh and so tasty! We tried dishes we hadn't had before including crab and sweetcorn soup, sizzling beef and cashew nuts and more. Delicious! Polite delivery driver, can't wait to order again! Thank you Blue Diamond! 😊

Gorgeous food and great staff would highly recommend

Yet again another excellent meal at the blue diamond. The food is spot on and staff very pleasant and helpful. You definitely won't be disappointed

Best Chinese I've had in a long time

Would put zero stars if I could!! After getting home from a very long journey last night I decided I'd treat myself to a nice takeaway. What a mistake that was! I placed my order via just eat and was pleasantly surprised when the delivery time said 20- 30 minutes. After waiting an hour I decided to give the restaurant a quick ring and just check on my order. Without even asking for my name the person started telling me my food was not late. When I was given chance to speak, I explained that I was just inquiring about the time and it was not a problem. I then gave my name to be told (by an extremely hostile young man) that my food wasn't ready because the delivery man from just eat had not turned up so, "it wasn't their problem," and I, "can't have my food." I asked if he could cancel my order through the just eat app as it had cost a small fortune (£20 for 1 Singapore fried rice, chips and curry sauce) and I clearly wasn't going to be getting any food. He said absolutely not- he couldn't and it was my problem not his. He then hung up the phone and phoned me back a couple of minutes later to inform me my food had actually been sent with the driver 45 minutes ago and again, it was not his problem that I didn't have it. Eventually my food turned up. I am sorry to say this was not the end of an eventful evening. The food tasted 'not quite right' and not very pleasant however I was so hungry at this point I decided I try to eat a little bit. I have been extremely ill all today after eating the food and really regret ordering from this restaurant. They will not be having my custom again!

Not been in to dine for a couple of years - but I'll be back soon. As I remember previously, fantastic food, quick and friendly service. Best Chinese food I have had in ages.

Placed an order on Uber Eats totalling nearly £40 and the portions were a total rip off. They were so small it didnt feed two people. Be careful as the takeaway isnt the same quality as going into the resturant. Very disappointing!!!

Best Chinese restaurant in Rochdale

Order cancelled after waiting almost 2 hours, rang restaurant and they didn't care

Great food just a bit crammed in

Wow ordered a takeaway for a change...fantastic food!! All hot and fresh, great welcome when I went to collect and the lovely lady even chucked in a couple of chinese beers for home. Brilliant

Amazing everytime ! Customer service can't compare its top ! Cosy /beautiful artworks/nice setting/clean !

As allways a good meal.very enjoyable

The staff are so friendly. The owners are polite and friendly. The food is excellent. Lovely and clean worth a visit.

Absolutely vile food would not order from there again. The sweet and sour tastes like vinegar, the chicken is awful and bland

I’m pretty easily pleased to be honest and I’m also pretty easy to annoy. The food was pretty bland. The price for a dated little Chinese is ridiculous. The service isn’t bad to be honest. The prices of the wine is scandalous. What I don’t understand here are the reviews giving it 5 stars? Have you people never actually eaten anywhere outside of Oldham road! Never in a million years is it anymore than 2/3 stars. People who rave about places like this do need to get out more.

Another lovely Chinese meal enjoyed.x

Lovely welcoming staff. Lovely restaurant and great food reasonably priced. Have eaten in and had take outs and it is my favourite Chinese restaurant by far. Would definitely recommend 😁

Absolutely shocking value for money. Extremely small portions. Low quality. The prawns did not even smell that good.

£20 for chicken fried rice chips, curry and three spring rolls...can't eat it it's going in the bin...soggy rice ...squidgy chicken and the chips weren't great but the most edible thing on the plate...still starving after waiting about 45 mind for the deliver...will not be ordering again and definitely will not be recommending

This is the HALF crispy duck I have just received through Uber eats, £18 for this duck, absolutely disgusted is an understatement, I would have walked back there & demanded refund if I didn’t have grandkids here

Amazing food and lovely staff, always an enjoyable visit!

Disgusting food, portions were small for the price and the food was either tasteless or tasted off. End up binning 90% of it

Lovely Chinese meal, friendly staff and efficient service

I enjoyed the food and the staff were very friendly, prices reasonable too!

We decided to celebrate our first day back with a meal here. We decided on a meal for two and it really was delicious and beautifully cooked with very friendly staff. Perfect place for superb Chinese food.

Excellent delivery and notifications spot on time, Just Eat well done. Food brilliant and so tasty, best restaurant quality and supperb presentation. Couldn't ask for a better meal on Saturday night or any other night for that matter. Good discount as well.

Rip off. Way too expensive. Don’t get me wrong the food is nice and service good. I like the place it’s just too expensive and quite often the regulars are noises

We regularly use this restaurant during 15 years. We never can say any thing bed about quality of food or hospitality. Always friendly staff. Thank you very much, friends, for your work!

Upon arrival i found the restaurant small , the combo starter was £6.80 each and what you get is a total rip off and it came cold. Half of duck was dry and was overcharged for drinks we didn't have but didn't check receipt till we got home. Dont recommend at all . Not a good experience 😕.

Love this place! Lovely staff, great authentic chinese food when eating in or taking away. Does not look much from the outside but lovely and cosy and immaculately clean in side. House wine is like rocket fuel which is always a bonus :)

Went there in a group of three for a banquet menu. Duck pancake were very dry and not enough sauce. Sizzling lamb were okay. The food did not taste fresh and look sad. The place is outdated. It is a family business. They were nice, friendly and helpful but sadly not the food. It is a shame really.

Had a great meal here, food was delicious and the staff very friendly! Will be back again very soon!!!

We had booked a table for 19.30 .. waited 20 minutes to be seated as it was very busy .. once seated had to wait again to order (with it being busy) once ordered . We had a lovely meal .. staff was nice and friendly and trying their best to accommodate everyone's needs as quickly as they could

Always excellent service, and food is always exceptional.

Lovely family meal, introduced the kiddies to Cantonese tastes. The staff were brilliant and very accommodating for our newbies to this food culture. They were engaging, enthusiastic and the food tasted as amazing as always.

We've been going here for years. Always lovely food & friendly staff.Our grandchildren love it too!

superb i have been going over 20 years Just the best !!!!! amzing food.

Had a very good meal with friends. The menu was extensive and the food was good. We will be visiting again.

An excellent local restaurant with a great tasting menu and friendly staff. I've been visiting this place since the late 90's and the food never lets itself down. Super tasty bean curd in Szechuan sauce is a must with a bowl of rice or chips. throw in a couple of drinks and two starters and the bill never exceeds £40. Try it - it's fantastic!

Blue Diamond is a great restaurant, old skool chinese food and great service. The Morris family have been going here for years, would highly recommend it.

Nice food friendly service good value

Amazing food and the staff are so friendly... never had a bad meal there , the staff cant do enough for you .. 😁

Fab food great friendly staff Best crispy beef anywhere takeaway always nice and hot when you pick it up

Delicious food, efficient and courteous staff, will definitely return xxx

Went to the Blue Diamond for a meal and noticed the sizzling hot plates have shrunk in size but the prices are the same ! They are even using the old larger wooden bases which makes it look even worse! Avoid paying more money for the sizzling hot plate dishes here as not worth it

We are fans since 1998. It's not fancy and quite small so fills up pretty quick. If you want a quieter meal go early or late on a weekday. Food is unbeatable though. Salt and pepper chicken, crispy duck must try.

Excellent service and very helpful staffs. It's a casual and small restaurant and the food portions are small.

This place is a happy restaurant always had good service and do take aways The staff are always pleasant and the food is fresh cooked and lots of it ,,,,, enjoy

It's friendly, welcoming and great food.

Small but very nice, great choice of dishes on the menu, food excellent and reasonably priced. Well worth a visit

Fabulous meal tonight. Staff very friendly and attentive. Restaurant has a really nice atmosphere too. Will definitely be returning.

The blue diamond is the best place for a Chinese meal in the area. We always go there for the excellent food and friendly staff. We visited Wednesday night and the place was full so what does that tell you

I love this restaurant friendly relaxed place beautiful food highly recommend x

Smashing place, lovely food, service brilliant.
