Chinese 203 in Stockport

First time here. Really tasty food. Good service. Enjoyed it.

If there was zero stars, I will give to this establishment. We're black people with children taller than their ages. The owner doubted us and doubted our children when they innocently also told of their ages. We thought it was a joke initially, but the owner was asking us for proof of emails from primary school teacher to satisfy herself of my children's age. Even when shown, she still doubted and was asking for school's report. She insisted my 3yr old son is in Year-1. Basically, labelling us as liars. We got up and left. Disgusted and will never return to this restaurant. The treatment left a bad taste in my young children's mouths and spoiled my daughter's birthday celebration, which was the reason we wanted to eat out in the first place. Lady owner, you should be ashamed of yourself. We didn't eat, so can't rate the food. However, the environment was rubbish, anyway. We will stick to patronising our trusted Cosmo in Manchester City center, the next time we fancy Chinese food.

Food quite good felt a bit rushed but generally nice place. Would recommend

First time going I thought it was really nice food and hot, will be coming again especially when I’m hungry. The staff were nice. Fav was spring rolls, wonton

Really nice food, staff work really hard & are very nice & friendly, bit noisy for me tho, I think we went at the wrong time, very busy time 6.30pm on a Sunday, but we really enjoyed it

Food was fantastic as was service.... only thing that let you down and was annoying rude was when you charged us full price for our 10 year old son and did not believe he was 10... even questioning him(not us) what school year he was in. Ruined a perfectly good evening..

Really good food, nice staff and enjoyed the surroundings.

Been here several times ,very good value for money, food is very fresh and hot ,service is also very good ,what I would say from our experience this evening felt rushed didn't get breathing time between courses,wasn't like that when I have been before, hopefully next time will have a bit more time !!

Booked same day for a table for 2. Decided to go for a later time of 8. 30 so we weren't rushed which worked well. Service is extremely good, food arrived very promptly and freshly cooked. The food was good for the price although I think I would have preferred to pay a bit more for a higher quality product (hence the 4 stars for food). Overall a good experience and would recommend.

Was a verry nice place plenty of choices quality was good only thing I dint like was how some staff hover around you

A good concept, eat as much as you like but ordered at the table. Small plates of tasty freshly cooked food. Service was quick so don't expect to linger when you have finished, it's a busy place and they need your table! Book ahead but expect to be seated at a smaller table if they are fully booked, five at a table for four etc. Drinks are very pricey.

Small restaurant with limited seats but well worth trying. All you can eat buffet but different is you order off the menu and they keep bringing it as long as you want it. Downside - small so limited tables and room Upside - all food is freshly prepared and well presented. Staff are very friendly.

beautiful food. Great atmosphere and lovely staff

This is probably my 3rd or 4th visit here, over the last few years. Whilst we've never been disappointed, sometimes our experience has been 'average'. On our last visit we thought everything was VERY VERY GOOD ! we enjoyed all of our dishes, thinking they were better than before. Everything seemed to be perfectly seasoned. There can never be any argument about value for money, as long as you bring your appetite. We're looking forward to our next visit already.

Was looking for a Chinese buffet in Manchester City Centre. However I then stumbled on this restaurant. How grateful am I that I did. This was by far one of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever had. There concept of all you can eat but serving you as you order. Rather than wasting food using a normal buffet style. The only negative I could put down. Would be that it is very small. I think they would benefit massively from a larger premises.

Simple and straight to the point, The food was piping hot, delicious, and arrived quickly. Some complained about the £20 per person price, but compared to JustEat, it was a bargain. The friendly and efficient staff added to the enjoyable experience. Plates were cleared swiftly, allowing us to move on to the next dish with delight.

Food was nice lovely friendly staff .fabulous service

Amazing food ,cooked fresh , polite friendly staff who go the extra mile, cant fault the place

It is all you can eat. Good food.

This has got to be the best all you can eat Chinese ever. Forget the big ones in Manchester City centre. The staff are amazing and always make sure you have everything you want, and the service is very quick.

Amazing! Food delicious, and fresh to cook! Very good quality meat. Love the idea to order off the menu which helps reduce waste rather than traditional buffet. Good selection on the menu. Staff excellent! Service very quick. Will definitely return!

Been looking for a new go to chinese for a long time and hate travelling into city centre and found this 1 on Google. So here we are Great concept. First where starts a good mixed of starts a selection from all the menu made it very simple and easy as we went as a group of 7. Starters where served quickly and where of great quality. We all ordered several mains dishes and again served quick and hot although some dishes on the not so meaty side. Sides where great and great quality. Overall service was quick and friendly staff where polite and smily all in all definitely worth a visit and will go back. Plenty of on street parking however possibly need park down the road few min walk away.

Excellent experience, the service was very welcoming and helpful with allergies and vegan dishes. Everything we had was delicious. Highly recommended!

This was our first time here and it didn’t disappoint We was seated and served starters and drinks quickly and then our main course orders taken which arrived quickly aswell Everything tasted fresh and very nice 😃 We will be returning soon for a second go

A superb addition to Davenport high street. The decor is great, the staff couldn't be more friendly or helpful and the food is delicious, freshly prepared from an extensive menu.

Superb food and service. Great value

Excellent customer service, staff member was excellent specialy nikki, excellent food. Me and my Mrs enjoyed the food and hospitality. Highly recommended place to eat Chinese. SHEERAZ

Could not fault. Great service and lovely food. £55 for 2 adults with 2 drinks each. Will definitely visit again 👍

Really good we booked on line for 4 of us,its classed as an all you can eat menu(so not as much food wasted I guess).You pick what you want and they wizz off and bring it out nice and hot! Staff friendly and efficient.You have I think an hour and fifteen mins so order you drinks top speed and get weaving :-)

Really great food, shame about the absolutely rude staff who think shouting at customers is normal etiquette, would never return here on that basis especially when we were such a large group of people who spent a large amount of money.

Love the concept and quality good enough to return .

Excellent place! Choose off the menu for sit-down service, smaller portions but as much as you want. Delicious food, excellent service and great value. Even the alcohol isn't overpriced!

Great food, freshly cooked. Small size portions so you can try a couple of different dishes. Lovely combination starters too.

Really lovely place for Chinese Buffet. You choose, your food brought to the table. It's served hot and tasty. You can order more, great way of trying different dishes. Staff attentive and good service.

Excellent value for money Fast service Lovely food Friendly staff

Have been here a few times now and the food is incredible, I cannot fault it at all. The service however was disappointing - we booked a table for 6 and one person was ill and could not attend. So we got moved from our 6 table onto a 4 table with someone added on the end of the table - we were squashed in and asked if we could have the original table. We were told the table was already booked out to someone else (even though that was our original table) the whole two hours we were there the table of 6 was unoccupied - so do not understand why we had to be crammed in with not much elbow room and plates on top of each other. Really disappointing - especially after being lied to about the table being booked and remained unoccupied the whole time.

We went for the first time this evening the staff were lovely, the food was lovely. Great price and love the idea of getting to try different things. Sadly the wait staff had a little trouble with one of the tables. Overall it was a lovely experience and will certainly be coming back

Called in on the off chance and was lucky to get a table, which is a good sign, had a really good meal, all served freshly cooked to order, favourites for me were the Singapore fried rice, chicken curry & the crispy chicken in hoisin sauce. Friendly attentive staff, always happy for me to order another dish. Will definitely visit again but maybe book next time to avoid disappointment. Thank you for providing a great dining experience.

Great staff and service excellent food on the all you can eat menu . Recommend .

Top quality all you can eat sit down restaurant just order whatever you want and it comes to you freshly cooked

Really nice, only small you need to book, but great food and service

Amazing food cooked fresh for each order. Arrived later than usual slots but still got full time and not rushed out door. Very friendly and can see why they've had to increase price from when they opened

Excellent service,delicious food, and all at a real bargain price. For only £22 per person, you can order as many starters, main courses, and side dishes as you can eat! The hot & sour soup is a must! In addition, you also receive prawn crackers and the obligatory fortune cookies afterwards. However, the drinks are not included in this price and are an additional cost. The standard price for a pint of lager is around £4,so it is fairly cheap compared to most pubs. The staff are friendly and very accomadating, and they work tirelessly to meet their customers' needs. The car parking spaces are limited, so make sure you get there early.

By far the best tasting all you can eat Chinese I've had the pleasure of eating, and at £22 a head was definitely worth coming again and again.

Best Chinese food we've had in years! Glad we found this place, friendly staff and good service.

Awesome food! Lots of choice all hot and fresh! I'll be back!

We had booked a table, got to the restaurant and was shown to our seats. It was super busy and we knew why after seeing great reviews. As this was my birthday meal we were super excited. After ordering and eating our starters we were asked to move tables so they could fit more customers inside. I thought this was a bit off considering we were sat comfortably and this has never happened at any other restaurant I had been to. After being asked to move we were put in a corner which was no issue until they asked for my boyfriends chair where he was sat opposite. Meaning we both had to sit next to each other. We were essentially boxed in a corner. The staff found it difficult to come to our table to take our orders. The table next to us were asked to hurry and finish their drinks, the staff brought their bill over whilst they still had wine left to finish as they needed the seats. The food was nice, but being asked to be moved twice and the time checking/ whole service being rushed ruined our first experience.

Once again great meal and service - chicken & sweetcorn soup / mixed starter / king Prawn in Black bean sauce with egg fried rice / special chow mean Ps Please can you open a branch in Reddish !!! 😆

203 is fabulous there is a good selection on the menu and the small plates allow you to try several meals. The food is cooked fresh to order and everything that was ordered was delicious. All the staff were pleasant and polite and nothing too much trouble we will definitely be back

Fantastic food a lovley and fresh lovley atmosphere with great service 👌

The best Owner and staff of a chinese RESTAURAUT the food is absolutely deliicious one of the best chinese I have tasted. And also very clean They have air conditioning but its only ever on very low thats my only negative if you call it that . £22 to eat what you like in 1hour 50 minutes Super friendly staff very attentive nothing is too much trouble .BEWARE YOU NEED TO BOOK ITS SO POPULAR .

Been a few times now this place is excellent fabulous staff and food but beware book a table as we seen at least 5 lots f people being turned away its so tasty and brilliant food and popular :)

It's 2023 you should have some vegan options... I went there with my family and we had to leave as we were told they don't do any vegan food. It's not like we have high expectation just few options would be nice to have when we live close by.

Food was top quality for the price very tasty and good value for money we will definitely be back !!

Awesome best chinese food that I have tastied in a very long time £22 eat as much as you like order as if you was in a usual restaraunt off the menu for one set price Usually order chinese tea myself and jug of tapm water with ice

Great take away from here. Quality cooking.

Went for 2nd time with my g/f, not disappointed at all, food comes out pretty quickly, only prob is my partner is a smoker, so she nipped out for a quick drag after starters, and mains were already on the table when she got back, just feels a little rushed, but still can't fault it, won't stop me going back, because the food is really nice.

Amazing, delicious, hot, fresh food!! Will definitely be going again, the service was great. Very friendly and air conditioned.

Takeaway was disappointing in fact it was awful. We’ve eaten in before which was really good but decided to get a takeaway this time as it’s not worth it with children at £20per head. The shredded beef in ok sauce was dried out and only a tiny pot of sauce came with it so with rice the whole meal was like eating sand! Previously ordered same dish and the shredded beef came in sauce so completely different this time. It was like eating left overs!

Most dishes were very good - I didn't really have complaints. Parking seems easy in surrounding streets. It is worth the price.

Love the food at this restaurant. Always a bit noisy and rowdy sometimes but overall service great and food lovely

Fist time here with my 2 brothers service was poor the staff came over while I was eating say you have to be out soon we just sat down and started to eat which I found rude when we had 40 mins left its like they had a attitude which I don't find polite so I won't be going again 💯👍😎

What a fantastic little restaurant,great food as much as you can eat,great value.

lovely place. The staff are kind and attentive. Will definitely go again.

Amazing! When you hear "all you can eat" you often expect okay food and service. Chinese 203 bucks the trend. The staff are so friendly and attentive, and the food is wonderful. Between 6 of us, we tried a lot of different dishes and not one disappointed. Definitely worth a visit. Remember to book too, this gem is well know so can get busy!

Amazing restaurant food out of this world staff friendly and helpful a must go and try

Amazing food and quick service the food tasted really fresh. really good value for money too

Really good. Nice food and nice play in general

Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. It's an all you can eat little chinese for just £20 per person, and the food is cooked fresh for you when you order it. No food drying under those trays and under those hot lights. They catered brilliantly for vegetarians. They couldn't do enough for my vegetarian partner! Brilliant service! Thanks, guys. highly recommended. I will definitely be going back here!!

Efficient friendly service, great menu, good food and clean restaurant...definitely worth a visit.

Tried here after seeing quite a few people recommend on Facebook. Great experience! The food was hot, tasty and fresh with plenty of choice. Hubby is still raving about it now, 2 days later! Will definitely return and soon.

The wings in ok sauce we're great. All the food was served fresh to order. I wouldn't hesitate to go back

Loved it, fantastic and friendly staff, food was great!

Can't knock it for a 20 pound all you can eat, that you order off the menu when you want. Prefer this to any other buffet style.

Went For my daughter in laws birthday,excellant service,food,price and atmosphere.We had 4 young children including a baby,yhey are verh accomadating. A** SERVICE,WE LOVE IT HERE YHANKYOU!

Nice clean place. I think you need a big appetite to make the most of the cost per person charged. If you have paid a deposit make sure that you check your bill as it was not taken off our bill until we pointed this out to them!

Beautiful food great staff great price 👍

Great food and as much as you want!

Great service and lovely food x

First visit , impressed with the food and service

Make sure you phone before arriving. Otherwise you may get turned away as happened to another couple, it is THAT popular. You get an hours free parking outside. We took 75 minutes, thankfully no traffic warden. Onto the food, what can I say but top notch! Chicken sweet corn soup was so nice I ordered another smaller portion. Big mistake! The starters almost filled us up before the main meal. Ordered rice with main meal but couldn’t manage it all. Next time we will ask for a very small portion of rice. 10 out of 10 for everything. Only drawback is Carlsberg £5.10. Little on the dear side but loved the food. We are still full 3 hours later. Maybe starve yourself ALL DAY!

Managed to get a booking here. Glad I did, food is absolutely beautiful, just wish I could've eaten more!! Will definitely be booking again!!

Great service and nice staff great food will go again

Beware vegetarians, some of the supposedly veggie spring rolls and all veggie samosa had meat in them so open before eating. The main and sides were really nice though (had broccoli side, veg in black bean sauce and salt & pepper chips)

food ok, but not really chinese restaurant quality…more like takeaway we prefer chinatown

Absolutely lovely food and great service. Would highly recommend. Thanks 203

Food was piping hot loved it . Definitely be back soon

Awful food, cold, chewy chicken and beef, not tender at all. Cramped in like sardines too because the restaurant is far too small for the amount of people that were in there!!

Omg what a lovely place... me and my family went last night to celebrate my birthday. The staff are amazing so welcoming, so friendly and the food... wow! Amazing! We all had a lovely time. Thank you to all the staff for making my birthday celebrations so amazing 💜💜💜

Great value for money, food was lovely came fast and fuĺl of flavour

This is an excellent take on the all you can eat buffet idea The food is freshly made to order rather than you help yourself and the portions are small so you get to try plenty of different choices. I also like that they don't tolerate food waste which is something I hate about buffets and good that they care for our environment by not wasting food. Compared to other all you can eat buffets it's slightly on the pricey side but the quality is really good so it's worth that little extra however for the price I do feel they should offer duck rolls as part of the starter options but all that said I would definitely return.

Excellent food alot better than regular all you can eat buffets as they deliver it to your table fresh

Absolutely wonderful experience. Staff friendly and helpful. Food was AMAZING; fresh, tasty and lots of choice. Booked our next visit already

It was amazing, totally recommend. Hot food served quickly by really polite staff. Will definitely be going back!

I recommend that you book in advance as the restaurant is very popular, food is very high standard, The service was great and very attentive without being overly pushing, my advice is not to overdo the starters, tempting as they maybe as we found that we were feeling full towards the end of the second main meal , as advertised you can have as much as you can eat but very sensibly the rule is eat all that you ordered first before ordering more . Didn't get the feeling of being in a Chinese restaurant as decor and background music not Oriental but thoroughly recommend the food and service.

All you can eat deal with choices freshly cooked to order.

Great service, booked for early evening , not been before but food was great and served hot, took advice of staff and had a variety of mixed starters and a couple of mains each. We all enjoyed our food and will certainly come again. Drinks were reasonably priced .

10/10, the staff were friendly, the food was fantastic & all of the dishes we tried were unbelievable, although the honey roasted pork was out of this world & has to be up there with one of the best things I have ever eaten . Thank you Chinese 203 for a great experience.
