Cathay Garden in Sefton

Excellent food found this restaurant it was fantastic. The manager and staff made us welcome. Best dim sum in southport.

Probably the worse chinese food ive ate in the world. Hate leaving negative reviews, but i cant imagine anyone who dines in here could say anything positive. The waitresses where nice and friendly but the food was damn awful

It was very quiet when we arrived at this restaurant. But then it was a Thursday evening. There was only one other table occupied with two men when we arrived and in fact during the whole of our meal. We ordered a G&T each then set about finding something to eat. We finally settled on mixed starter of spring rolls, ribs and prawns and sesame toast all of which were very greasy. Then for our main mushroom fried rice, seafood chow mein and lamb with spring onions and ginger which was very nice. We washed it down with some Chinese tea. The service was very good but really it would have been better with more people in restaurant so you didn't inadvertently eavesdrop on the only other conversaition in the room.

The Menu is confusing with so many items. My partner and I decided to have prawn toast nice but burnt in the bottom. Chicken and sweetcorn also Crab meat and sweetcorn soup was Nice. Both had Chow mein. It's Dry. Lots of onions. King prawn nice perfect and beef was excellent. The noodles is crunchy but fine. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Very outdated rooms. Comfortable chair. Banna fritter is very tasty. Good Green tea. It's clean. I spill tea all over the table! Also I spill sour sauce on my shirt. Oh dear. Staff was helpful to clean up the mess. Ha Ha. The food is excellent value.

Worst Chinese I’ve ever eaten all went in the bin came in a soggy wet box all the sauce had spilt all over everything. Do not order

Visited with 5 friends last night and had a great experience as usual. Everyone is always so friendly, helpful and attentive. The food is lovely and the portion sizes are very generous. I had the crispy duck and then sizzling chicken satay and both were gorgeous.

Food was ok but delivered late without explanation or apology. I ordered early and it was only 4 items so cannot understand the delay. Will not order from here again.

Delicious food, great service and private parking Fantastic!

Had three meals delivered. There was no flavour to any one of them except the chicken fried rice. The duck was cut in big chunks, it tasted as if it was boiled. No flavour at all. Not like it use to be.

Didn’t even recieve my food yet said delivered

Went with a close group of friends on Saturday evening,politely greeted on arrival and led straight to a table. The restaurant is very clean and hygienic and also the toilets were modern and spotless. Service was excellent throughout the meal and came with a smile,nice people.We chose a banquet and was pleasantly surprised with what we got and all was cooked beautifully and tasted fresh. Price was very reasonable.I would definately return here given the chance and hope to in the future. Thanks👍

I had special fried rice. The mixed meat was very dry and tough

One of the meals delivered was very wrong. Tried in vain to contact them but got message that their answerphone was full then it hung up. We tried again and again in vain and ultimately had to complain to just eat.

absolutely gorgeous 10/10 perfect.. Two very full people sat here. very enjoyable thank you

Popped in on Saturday night, our meals were great (beef curry/Thai chicken) and service was good.

Decor a bit dated but banquets still excellent!

Was absolutely disgusted with this food. Horrendous quality. Absolutely inedible. Total waste of money.

Delivery time not advertised on ordering and then estimated 1.5 hours and still late

Rice tasted stale, Chips were soggy, sauce spilt in the bag, some food was cold.

Food was cold on arrival and very dry ate it as was getting late. Wouldn’t recommend

An absolutely beautiful meal to celebrate Chinese New Year this evening. So delicious, very fresh ingredients and piping hot on arrival. We recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for high quality Chinese cuisine !

Should be much better from such a long established Chinese in southport

Had a late delivery food was cold not very good won’t be back

Very disappointed with the food chips cold rice and the beef curry warm but not hot and all the other items went in to the bin

Bought a takeaway.. worst meal I’ve ever had .. capital spare ribs .. are cold and just covered in normal gravy .. Sui mi .. disgusting.. spring rolls were the only decent thing .. Definitely would not recommend.. and for sure will never go back 🤮 very poor in deed ..

Food was great. Just a bit late. It's a Friday evening though so I can understand it being busy.

Really poor quality food and very late and cold

Come here alot when staying in southport. Restaurant bit old fashioned in style but the food and service is amazing 👏

Took my order online but when I arrived it was shut.

Absolutely rubbish experience. Over an hour late and the food was greasy, cold and some of it was burnt. I had phoned the restaurant to try and a) find out where my food was, was told it was on the way and yet it took 45 mins to get me! and b) get edible food… to be told they would not be sending out anymore food but would offer £5 off on my next visit! Won’t be returning in any capacity. Such a shame. I would also like to add that the staff were really unhelpful.

Easy to order, food arrived promptly and hot.

1st time I've been here and wont be the last absolutely gorgeous food

Food quality gone down hill, used to be on of your favourites. Won’t be ordering again.

Food was hot and tasty, will definitely be ordering again.

Just awful not worth the money at all

Good quality and tasty food delivery was earlier than expected all round very good experience 👍

Great service, good wine and food Reasonably priced 👍

Went there one weekend evening in a group lovely food very good service

Not worth the price. There are nicer places to get a chinese from for much cheaper. Food was below par. Chicken tasted weird. Portion size was rubbish compared to other places. Disappointed to say the least.

Girl on phone was amazing very good at her job but food was shocking. Never be coming again unfortunately

Sent a message to Just Eat on Saturday 11 Nov following delivery of order. Both Soups were awful, and were not eaten. Main dish was also inedible. Tasted like it was burnt. Asked for a refund for soups and main meal. Ribs were dry with very little meat. Phoned restaurant and told them but was told to tell Just Eat. Still waiting to hear back from Just Eat.

The best Chinese food in Southport

Don't bother ordering for delivery. Order through Southport Eats. Food was 15 mins late and had not been insulated so everything was cold. When approached through Southport Eats they were not willing to refund and have made no effort to contact us to apologise. Will not be ordering from them again.

Food was luke warm and no taste. Always order from here but wasn't nice at all

Was a lovely takeaway, delivered very quickly. Generous portion sizes and tasty dishes. Thank you!

We have not been to Cathy Garden for some time, the staff have changed and seem indifferent. The draught beer had a wierd taste to it so i just left it.The crab and sweetcorn soup is chicken and sweetcorn soup with cut crabsticks added. They forgot to serve the spring rolls with the auderves, after clearing the table they brought out two spring rolls, no sauce and no plates to eat off. We did not get the finger bowl with warm water and lemon as other customers did. The cucumber, chopped spring onion, hoy sin sauce came out with 6 home made pancakes. Then the bones with what was a poor excuse for duck arrived, we managed to make two very small rolls each ( any smaller and they could have passed for cigarettes). To our amazement no one thought we might need plates to eat off, so we asked and got plates. When the mains came incredibly they brought plates first but then asked if we needed cutlery ? Over all this was a very disappointing meal and some where I would not return to or recommend.

Char sui meat was dry, hard to chew, over-cooked and wasn't fresh. Chicken foo yung was bland and the chips greasy. I thought I'd try a different Chinese takaway from my usual, but the basics and quality of this meal was not good at all.

Can't comment on atmosphere as I had a takeaway but food was great and hot very happy

Takeaway was cold and waiting in the just eat container even though I said I would collect at 7pm. I arrived at 6 45pm and it was lying in the bag. Food was unbeatable. Will never visit again £35 wasted

Food is good. But in the holiday season, on a Saturday night, despite us ordering just after they opened (17:25), the food was estimated to arrive between 18:30 / 18:50, but arrived at 19:40ish; over 2 hours after ordering. I called half and hour after the expected delivery time and our food was still cooking. They were just busy, which is good for them. But had we known how long it would actually have taken (been given a realistic delivery time) we wouldn't have ordered. It's not like you can cancel after ordering with Just Ear so we just had to wait it out.

Cathy gardens Southport my wife ordered food last night Over £40nearly two hours later still not come rang them up they said would look into it and ring back which they did not after another twenty mins a just eat man came I said to him been waiting over two hours for the food he said he picked it up quarter an hour ago the whole food was cold rang them back the manager said complain to just eat it's a bad service never use them again

Fab food great selection fair prices excellent service highly recommend.

Had a party of 12 people here including kids, everyone loved there food

Our order arrived over an hour and a half early. It was then replaced on time. Excellent quality as usual.

Their description of the food does not match the reality. Sui mai were horrible, not as described. Hardly any chicken in main course. Loads of duck-great- too few pancakes not so great

Ordered roast crispy pork, duck, curry sauce, salt and pepper chips egg fried rice and a kids box My grandson (4) ate one chip and no more. The duck was ok as was the rice and the curry sauce. But the rest was dry and overcooked. I’ve not had food as bad for a long time. Complained to the waitress and she apologised, But it’s not her fault. I suggested she pass on my comments to the cook. Maybe it was because we ate at 18:00. Dried out food from the previous night??? There was no apology from the cook and I was not offered any discount Needless to say we will not be eating there again.

I'm not so bothered about the late delivery. It's to be expected on a weekend. However it was not as stated it was missing items and certainly never had to add salt and pepper to an s and p dish before. My little treat and can't eat it.

My food hasn't been delivered 😡😡😡

Definitely worth the extra couple of quid compared to a dedicated Chinese takeaway prices. By far the best Chinese I've had in a long time

Great food great service very accomdating

The food was amazing. The staff were so attentive and gave us 100% service. We would highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to going back soon.

Called restaurant to request update after 90 minute wait. Lady on the phone very apologetic, but when the food did arrive, it was the completely wrong order. Very disappointed.

Food was not very hot, and had spilled over in bag!!

Fantastic service and delicious food.

Absoulte dreadful service never going again . Tell lies and say it 5 mins and was another hour

The staff are so friendly and attentive and the food was delicious! Thank you for such an enjoyable evening and for making my mum's birthday very special. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful food. Will use again. Many thanks

2nd time I've ordered. Both times an issue with my order. Won't be using again

Grumpy delivery driver. Moaning at me as a road was shut like that was my fault? Food was shocking. Cold, burnt and stale.

Great service great value excellent food

Can’t rate the staff high enough went with my disabled mum and family for a meal they couldn’t have been any more helpful. The food was lovely very big portions yes the decor is tired but the staff and food more than made up for it. We weren’t rushed it was a great experience

food very poor quality order messed up not the food what we used to and what we actually ordered. never again

15 mins late past the latest time given. Completely cold, had to use the microwave to warm it all up. Terrible delivery service. Would never ever buy from here again. When 2 people are spending almost £50 you deserve better than this.

Lovely food.great service, will definitely be back 😀

Such a shame. We’ve never had any issues. This was 2 hours from ordering and the food was cold and over cooked. This was our go to restaurant to order take away. Hopefully it was a one off.

Stale prawn crackers, half full rice, soggy food - overall very disappointing.

Food spilt and massive bone in soup

Had a lot better food elsewhere at a lot cheaper price overated, the windows want washing they are filthy.

it's like going to a close friends house for dinner, friendly and the food is perfect

Missed off a dish so had to wait a further 25 mins and food was poor

Children's meals was lovely kids proper enjoyed it thank you so much

This restaurant has very friendly and helpful staff, they couldn’t have been more accommodating. There was an abundance of food, too much really which was well presented and tasted great. Overall good experience and fairly priced.

Twice a week take away client Gone! Food quality has collapsed very poor Sorry won’t be back

duck skin doesn't crisp... it's soggy. Sorry so bad in the forst time

Meat was dry and reheated. Rice was sweet. £27 for 2 dishes was very expensive and something I won’t be spending my money on again.

A forgotten gem. Chicken cashew, crispy duck and pancakes, service is great. They are very thoughtful.

Not like it was. Gone back to quantity not so much emphasis on the quality. Been going for well over 30 years now. Obviously changed hands once or twice.

Delivered exactly on time. Lamb hoisin pancakes were delicious, and the Honey and Black Bean sauce was really nice and also great for dipping. Chow mein was a good portion. We will definitely order from here again!

Can't complain duck and pancakes were really good.

Love duck pancake really very crispy prawn on toast so nice highly recommended

Fabulous food , nice and hot , arrived on time Very happy customer

Food was burnt and over salty. Main meal was inedible

Food was burnt, soggy and like warm at best! Very disappointing!

Soup was thin and salty, prawn crackers were dry and stale. Chips were soggy and greasy, chicken rice was seriously overcooked and dry. The chicken satay had 5 small pieces of chicken in. The only thing good was the bottle of coke!!! Asked for a refund of just eat.. they sed as I have no photos no refund! Well not again

Food was terrible cold, no taste restaurant was no help 😕

Always had good food with a very friendly service

Main meal ok ? Starter combo awful

Delicious food delivered on time!
