Blue Ocean in St. Helens

Really disappointing takeaway cost £79 to feed 5 of us and slimy overly wet food eg special fried rice - missing a dish also - no care re presentation in boxes and included battered? fatty barbecue spare ribs - honestly awful ! Will not return - shame as previously had decent takey from there . Maybe chef issues but once bitten twice shy I’m afraid.

Really good Chinese buffet! Good family feel to it and not expensive either. Family run and nothing is too much trouble. 👍

Food is always perfect and very large meals. Affordable prices would recommend

We haven’t been here for a long time and out of nostalgia we came here last night. It used to be a very tranquil space but not so much now however, it was the food that let the place down. We opted for set menu D at £42 each the hot and sour soup was ok but the dim sum was not good looked and tasted like was from COSTCO, some strange options like the rolled beef and the spring rolls it took a while to decipher what these were made of sauces/dips that accompanied were unusual and not in a good way I’m afraid. Crispy duck was fine and only course I enjoyed. Meals that followed sizzling steak ginger spring onion fatty, chewy and Szechuan chicken meat seemed incredibly processed/manufactured which matched the rest of the courses. Not sure there are actual chefs here. We mostly had our cutlery and dishes thrown onto the table literally by a young waiter who definitely needs some help with service delivery/etiquette other staff were efficient and polite enough if seemed somewhat stressed. Overall not a pleasant experience and we won’t be returning.

Not proper chippy chips or fried rice , looked and tasted like it had all come out of a freezer, in fact there was no taste to the rice and wasn’t fried . The chips where steak cut chips just threw in the fryer. Very disappointed , have used this chippy before but never again
