Parkgate is such a little gem on the Wirral and Chows Eating House has one of the best views over the Dee estuary. The food matched the view and the service was exemplary! After seeing that I was celebrating my birthday, the staff kindly marked the occasion with a cake and traditional gongs. A memorable day in every way. Thank you all at Chows.

Excellent food and lovely service. There was an issue when reserving our table so they kindly gave us free dessert. All servers were very hospitable and friendly. Best Chinese food I’ve had.

It was just OK. Definitely not the best Chinese meal we’ve eaten. Started off with Chicken and Sweetcorn soup which was nice enough, followed by a plate of Hors d’Oeuvres, these were quite nice apart from the ribs which were a little too strong for myself and my wife. We followed this by crispy duck, which was burnt. There’s crispy duck and there’s crispy duck but this was beyond crispy. For the main course we had chicken fried rice and chicken with mixed vegetables in a birds nest basket. Whilst it looked nice enough, it was really salty. Sadly we won’t be going back to Chows Eating House but we had read and heard good things about Chows but sadly, for my wife and myself, it was a complete let down, I definitely would not recommend it.

If you want fab service from people that are attentive but don't push you.. A gorgeous, classic, clean, atmospheric and authentic place... Food that you think about for days after because it's fresh, exactly what you ordered, and then some. Food you tell people about. Chinese tea that flowers in front of you! Not many places around like this anymore. Go for it.

Great food as usual. Remember to take a packet of wet wipes with you as they don t provide finger bowls or heated towels. This seems a wrong decision as you have to go to the toilets to wash your hands after eating sticky ribs ! Come on Chows, don t spoil your excellent reputation for the sake of a warm towel.

Not been for many years , treat for my husbands birthday , we had the set starter for two , didn't read the menu properly as I thought it was £26 , for the two of us , £52 for the starter , which cost more than our main meals , then a service charge added . Very very expensive for what we had , can't say it was worth the cost . Won't be returning.

We have been visiting Chows eating house for about 20 years. Very disappointed on our last occasion, very expensive £125 for two of us, no alcohol on the bill just soft drinks. The service was not the best, I don’t think the waiter/waitress spoke to us once other than when we ordered!! When you are paying that much you expect the service to go the extra mile.. The food was nice, nothing special though. Very disappointed- that will probably be our last visit!

Food was nice and service very pleasant although they seem to be very fast to take your unfinished food away 🤣 ( I just needed a moment break) The only criticism would be to prices that is why only 3stars. 3 spring rolls £9 Small starter platter for2 £26 Slightly too expensive for what it was and probably that’s why we were the only people there.

I’m a longstanding Chow’s customer and am genuinely grateful this is on my doorstep. If anyone visits the Wirral, I recommend Chows, or more likely, take them there, knowing that it’s great quality. There’s a great variety of food meaning you can have both really impressive, standout dishes and crowd pleasers too. The service is always warm and friendly. As a massive plus, they offer a vegetarian menu, and a gluten free which is suitable for coeliacs. This is so highly unusual for any restaurant and they deserve a massive amount of praise for this - one of the many reasons I keep coming back.

Called into Mr Chows to purchase a gift voucher to the value of £200. No welcome or greeting from the 2 members of staff that dealt with me ,in fact one of the said ‘ you can do this on line ‘ l am so glad l didn’t. I simply asked have they got wheelchair facilities only to be told the only entrance is up 3 steep steps no ramp available you will have to lift the wheelchair up the steps . No disabled toilet which made me decide this restaurant does not care enough to facilitate disabled people. When l questioned this ‘ l only work here’ l asked to see the manager who was not available. Found this unacceptable and could’ve been dealt with in a more courteous manner . Would not recommend this restaurant although did not have the chance to comment on the meal .

Gorgeous food. Really nice and fresh. I loved the salt and pepper king prawns, and my boyfriends favourite was his main which was a chicken in spring onion and black bean sauce. And he said the duck spring rolls were amazing and really well filled with the meat. Lots of good vegetarian options too as I am pescatarian and don’t eat meat. Sweetcorn soup was delicious! We will be back. It was a little more on the pricy side but the portions are very big I think they are sharing portions. And the bill wasn’t as much as we thought it would be. If you order what you want separately it most likely will work out cheaper than getting the banquet. As there was only two of us a banquet didn’t see worth it so we just ordered what we could manage and what we wanted and it was perfect!

Went there on a recommendation & I have to say, I've had better Chinese food. It was expensive for what it was. Plus, I'd booked for us to have a meal in the champagne bar but we were put in the restaurant. We had a table for 2 with 2 large parties either side of us who were really noisy. When I checked to make sure we were at the right table because of booking the bar, we were told that they can't always accommodate requested bookings & that they had put us there so that we could see the sunset out of the window as it was an anniversary celebration. Hardly romantic stuck in the middle of 2 large groups! So, not a great experience & we won't bother going back as there are much lovelier & more reasonably priced restaurants on the Wirral we can go to.

So drove from liverpool at rush hour took us 45 minutes to get here but always like to try new places based on recommendations. Staff were so lovely with our children this really does make a difference and the main reason I will come back. Food was really nice. It was over priced but service made up for it, no car park so bit stressful trying to park if ur not from the area. The best thing about it all is that we was not rushed at all this is.the main thing as when people eat out they want to be out for more than an hour when the bill is costing alot. The staff here really are so chilled and so polite they let u relax and enjoy a drink without being rushed whitch makes such a difference

During lockdown my husband and I have had many takeaways, all of which have been of the usual exceptionally high standard. Great care has been taken to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable and they take all relevant precautions in these difficult times. Chows are as accommodating as they can possibly be and nothing has ever been too much trouble. Thank you to all the team at Chows for providing such wonderful high quality food- we can’t wait until you’re able to open so we can come for a big family meal at our favourite restaurant!

We visited Chows on Sunday 20th December.On arrival we were told they needed our table back in an hour and fifteen minutes!This despite no time limit being specified when we booked.When we protested we were shown to" another table" by the side of the toilets.During our meal several people visited the toilets but none wore a mask to walk there through the restaurant. When we challenged our serving staff on this we were told there was nothing they could do. We note that today it was announced that Cheshire will go into Tier 3 on Saturday!The food was no better than adequate (food from the Imperial in Heswall is better) and expensive. The wine is the best feature of Chows.In these perilous times it is not good enough for restaurants to pass the buck .Keith

It all started so badly. Our table for three adults (over 21 is specified on their web site!) was a bench with three stools in an alcove with a speaker in a corner high up and bright white Xmas lights all around. It was cramped, hot, noisy and uncomfortable. Fair play to our waiter who eventually moved us to a table in the window which again had high stools rather than chairs, after an hour we were again very uncomfortable.Chows is renowned for its food. We started with a sharing plate of Dim Sum which was excellent with the exception of a tasteless samosa (hardly Chinese).Our main course choices of crispy beef, Kung Po king prawns and another king prawn dish together with Chinese greens side all suffered from a total lack of seasoning and taste. Whilst they are to be commended by a lack of MSG it is unforgivable not to use more garlic, ginger, chillies etc.We had 5 cocktails, the lychee martinis were excellent as was the old fashioned. However, when you serve a premium gin and tonic it should arrive neat with bottled tonic on the side...ours arrived already mixed.A disappointing evening and I cannot forgive the uncomfortable seating and bland food.I last ate here about 15 years ago when it was top dog. I will not be returning.Despite our very poor experience I felt sorry for the COVID impact to their business and paid in full the £130 bill with a cash tip on top.

During lockdown we had a set menu to be delivered to our house. This consisted of sweet and sour chicken, beef in blackbean sauce and Malaysian chicken. Whilst they were all stunning, the Malaysian chicken was incredible!! It was £45 for everything, including delivery (and 2 large portions of rice). The portions were very generous and would easily feed a family of 4. Fantastic value in my opinion.

Due to the current Covid circumstances we had a banquet from chows eating house to take away. We had Banquet A and costs £24 per head. For £72 for the whole meal we weren’t overly impressed. I thought they may have lowered the price slightly as taking away and not dining in the restaurant should be charged at a lower rate (my personal opinion). The chicken and sweet corn soup to start was lovely as were the spring rolls, ribs, crispy won tons and prawn toast. All of these very delicious however we weren’t given a huge amount of these. The mains were also nice but nothing special. You can get much more for your money in other local Chinese restaurants. Ive dined in Chows eating house before and much preferred eating in the restaurant than taking away. If they lowered their prices I’m sure they would get a lot more custom.

We were recommended chows eating house from a friend. Upon arrival the staff were very attentive and friendly we were shown to our table and proceeded to order our wine and food. They have a great selection of vegetarian meals which pleased me very much. The food was very good the only reason we are not giving this place 5 stars was the fact that the staff insisted on pouring the wine something me and my husband like to do ourselves and my main meal which was a tad too salty. But what really impressed me was the managers response to my meal. She couldn’t be anymore accommodating. She stated that next time we come in if I mention that I don’t like anything too salty they will cater to my needs. Will definitely be back, well worth the drive.

We were a group of 4 friends who decided to visit Chows as we hadn’t visited for some time. I made an online booking 4 weeks before for a Saturday night at 8 pm. We arrived on time and were shown to what could only be described as a high bar table with 4 high stools. There were two of these tables tucked round the corner from the main eating area by the bar,, the other one occupied by two people. We asked to be moved to a round table for 4 like other groups of 4 who were already seated. We were told there were no other tables despite a similar size group arriving just after us and being shown to a round table in the main eating area. I asked one of the staff why we had been allocated this particular table she told me that I must have requested a high table when I booked! Having revisited the online booking form there is nowhere to put such a request, even if I wanted to. We decided to leave as the table was not only uncomfortable but extremely cramped and definitely not suited to a banquet, which we had intended to have. What a disappointment which was made worse by the staff member telling me that I must have requested the table which I clearly did not. Booking in advance obviously doesn’t get you a decent table. Very sad that we were not able to sample the food and even sadder that nobody really cared, no attempt to accommodate us elsewhere or even an apology.

Spent a couple of hours and had one of the best meals in a long time. Best Chinese Restaurant in the Wirral! Definitely recommend.

I had been told by several people that Chows was a really good Chinese so was really looking forward to our visit. I was disappointed by the lack of choice on the menu. Our start was good (the mixed platter) but the main I chose was not what I expected. I ordered King prawn with Cantonese sauce, which I was told was a sweet sauce. This sounded fine, but then when it came, the king prawns were already battered and deep fried before being smothered in this sweet sauce. The others with me were impressed, but I will stick with Chinatown in Manchester.

Birthday treat for myself. My daughter drove me so I was able to have a few tiger beers. We had the banquet for 2. It was amazing, great service, we were full midway through the main dish.

We went to Chows Eating House in Parkgate on Sunday afternoon. I booked a table in the Champagne lounge to have a Dim Sum platter, which is like tapas style, and drinks (other usual drinks are served aswell as champagne). The lounge was stunning and cosy, booth style tables as well as high tables looking out at the views.

Never been before and had been warned that it was overpriced. Well my experience was shambolic. Wrong drink bought to the table and a lot of problems to sort it out as they wanted to charge me for it. Then wrong meal on the receipt which by surprise was more expensive than the one ordered and delivered. Finally got the correct bill. Give it a wide berth not worth the money!!

I have visited here a number of times and never had good service.But this has been the worst by far, my self and my family went for my mums special birthday and I couldn’t of chosen a worser place! We was rushed out the restaurant before we had even finished are food. We was shoved in the corner away from everyone else and just felt very unwelcome over all. The food is nice yes but the staff need to work on there service skills I will not be back here again!

Having wanted to eat here for such a long time we booked for last sunday evening hoping the food would live up to the reputation of this place. We received a friendly greeting and were shown to our table immediately. Staff were very pleasant and attentive. Unfortunately we found the food very average we chose the special hors de ouves menu @ £28 pp. This consisted of soup, a platter of various starters followed by a (very) crispy duck and pancakes course. To be honest we were full after all this and did not need to order a main course. Although we did not feel in any way that we needed to complain about the food it did not have the wow factor that I was hoping for and it was quite expensive as most banquets are. I dont think we will return.

The menu is very extensive and describes the food excellent. Unfortunately, the description in the menu does not match the actual food. Value for money is not right.

This was my second visit to Chow's, so I was really looking forward to it! Sadly the expectations did not live up to the previous experience! There was a large group of us, and we had a nice big table that we could all fit around, although personally I found the chairs to be a bit dated and uncomfortable! We had already pre-ordered our food, so not a long waiting time to tuck in! We ordered a banquet for roughly 10 people, food was delicious right up until the mains, the food is of an excellent standard, I just found variety to be lacking! Twice throughout the meal i had to repeat myself, firstly ordering a drink, which I shouldn't have to do, the floor staff should be aware and offer to get more, secondly, I wanted to have more rice, not only was it out of reach, I had to leave the table to find some assistance!

The atmosphere was very good and the service first class unfortunately the food was disappointing.The soup was bland and some of the ribs were quite fatty however the duck and pancakes were very nice.Moving onto the main courses we found the chicken was quite fatty and some dishes tasteless.

Chows has always had an excellent reputation, but they are exceeding their previous high standards, and I have been very impressed with my last couple of visits. They even produced a cake and firework! Thoroughly recommended.

Excellent service, fabulous food in a positive and welcoming atmosphere. Extensive food and drinks menu. The Parade at Parkgate is a lovely setting and I would totally recommend Chows Eating House. It is one of the nicest Chinese restaurants I have had the pleasure of eating in.

This was the first time I’d visited here after hearing good things, we weren’t let down at all, the food was all really good and they catered very well to my wife’s allergy. I’d go as far as saying this was the best Chinese I’d ever had.

Always have great food and great time. Excellent venue for Birthday with family. Just a little on the expensive side. We chose one of Banquet E which was probably a bit too much food but gave us the opportunity to try as wide selection of starters and main meals as possible.

After having a not so good experience a few months ago we decided to give Chows another go and we were so impressed. The service we received was amazing and nothing was too much of an issue. The food too was absolutely delicious. All 8 of us had a great time and will be back! Thank you Chows for the effort you put in to resolve our previous situation and make us love the place again. We will be back!

My wife and I had the most delicious meal to help celebrate our Anniversary. The night began with a large 4x4 vehicle vacating a parking space directly opposite Mr Chows front door, very convenient with rain imminent. We were warmly greeted by Helen the manager, and taken care of by Nick, our waiter. The drink and foood choices taken, we had time to take in the ambience of the restaurant and were amazed at the efficiency of the staff taking care of varying sizes of parties ranging from 18th birthdays to graduation students, never the less our party of two was looked after in the same caring way. At the end of our evening Helen and Tina invited us for a glass of champagne in celebration of our Anniversary bringing a wonderful night at Mr Chows to a memorable close, thank you.

This was our 6th or 7th experience of Chows after moving into the area 5 years ago. We don’t go regularly as we have been disappointed each time. The only reason we have gone back is that the restaurant has a very good local reputation and we have thought that maybe we have just been unlucky and we should give it another chance. However, our visit last week confirmed to us that we have not been - it was our most disappointing visit to date.

Myself and another 3 family members went for lunch today and just felt very unwelcome from when we entered the door. They were more bothered in the bigger groups than us. Food was nice but the price for what we got was a lot more than we expected.

I had a most wonderful evening at Chows Eating House on November 28th to celebrate my birthday with family and friends. The food was beautiful as always and the staff so kind, polite and considerate. I was surprised to be presented with a birthday cake with fireworks and the staff's best wishes towards the end of our meal! My friends, family and I had not mentioned the occasion for our visit that night to the staff, but the waiting staff must have correctly gleaned that it was my birthday. Thank you for the generosity of spirit from the staff that made a great night even more memorable. Thank you to all the lovely team at Chows Eating House! I thoroughly recommend Chows for great food, a lovely selection of wine and superb service and atmosphere.

I haven’t been to the Shanghai in many years it brought back a lot of family memories. We came here for my Dad’s birthday and I was pleasantly surprised how the quality of their food has remained consistent to how it tasted when I was a kid. Even the building interior hasn’t changed (I think an upgrade is needed) The staff were very friendly, our waitress was very cheerful and checked up on us often. We ordered Banquet B and shared a pot of Chinese tea. The food was great with a nice variety of dishes on each course. The shared platter for the starter was my favourite it was perfectly presented and had something for everyone. If you’re looking for a Chinese restaurant in Chester, this is the place to go.
