Chows Eating House in Cheshire West and Chester

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.

Authentic! 10/10 service! One of the best Chinese I’ve had outside Manchester! I’ve travelled all the way from Manchester to see a friend and we decided to come here. Best decision we’ve made that day lol.

Food excellent service 👌 chandler lighting very pretty needed carpets changed very worn dirty toilets only one for men and one for ladies needed great attention poor would visit again if cleanliness was improved

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.

Booked for a birthday meal for 4. I was disappointed to find that our table was in what felt like the bar area away from the main dining room. The tables were high stools, there was very little atmosphere and somehow felt like we'd recieved a lesser experience whilst paying the same, for future references it would be nice to be told in advance so could decide if was suitable. Would have really struggled if one of the party had mobility issues and couldn't get up to the table. Food was delicious and service was impeccable. Just a shame about the table and lack of heads up about the high tables in the bar area.

Best hors d’oeuvres I’ve ever had!

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.

Always welcoming, food delicious, attention to detail excellent. Enjoyed lovely meal with friends, service excellent, however when bill was accidentally 60pence short the way it was asked for was decidedly rude. This evening's meal was excellent, no issues with bill.

Fantastic food with fast service and great value. Really enjoyed our evening there and will be visiting again soon.

Visited again last week , all as usual, a special occasion to be enjoyed and shared with friends. Food is exceptional and a great atmosphere, staff offer warm hospitality and courteous service , even asking after our children and grandchildren whom they have known for years . Not cheap but exceptional experience and good values .

Mr Chows was, as always, a pleasure to visit. The food was fantastic, staff friendly, and attentive. It's a lovely place to visit for a special occasion.

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.

Been visiting Mr Chows for around 30 years and the service and food is still excellent 👌

Absolutely amazing start to finish, food was was amazing staff were so warm welcoming nothing was faultless highly recommend. Mr chows we will back 1000000000%

Outstanding meal ! Staff were friendly, helpful, professional; led very effectively by Tina. Nothing was too much trouble for them.

Fantastic food and lovely location

Just ordered takeaway, for my family, probably the worse, I have ever had ,really bad ,just , all gooey ,no taste ,just poor £160 ,wasted, money straight in bin.!

Food was amazing, sauces tasted like they had been made from scratch & the service was quick & friendly

Fantastic little restaurant, over looking the Dee estuary. Staff can't do enough for you. Especially Tina.

Been a few times now and always happy with the food but this time something has changed. Food arrived unusually quick too which was worrying. Prawn toast used to be like thick and crunchy but now soggy And thin, crispy duck was tough and dry abs seemed small portion with less pancakes. Looks like a management change has taken place because the prawn crackers weren’t complimentary either. Staff looked a bit fed up to do overall not impressed and unlikely to be going back. Restaurant also changed time of booking on the day with no explanation.

Another birthday meal today. Both good and service were excellent as always. Nothing was too much trouble.

My favourite restaurant. Chows is amazing the food, service and ambience are unbeatable.

I’ve always got the same take out dish for years, Chicken yellow bean, but tonight it was tough overcooked chicken, and definitely not worth the £13 price tag! Years ago it was yellow bean cashew nut, I completely understand why the cashew nut isn’t in it anymore, but it used to be gorgeous, not anymore! It used to have a beautiful flavour, with celery, and chicken in. Definitely won’t be ordering again, which is sad!

Very expensive and the food was average at best. Atmosphere is great though.

What can I say other than Wow we booked in on 10th to celebrate Chinese new year the Year of the Dragon 🐉 the food the staff the atmosphere were all absolutely amazing 👏 the staff were so polite and attentive we had an absolutely amazing evening the dancers and kung fu was amazing highly highly recommend cannot recommend any higher

Loved the food. Great atmosphere. Staff very nice and helpful. Why the 2 stars??? Well at double the price of any other Chinese restaurant we won’t be heading back. I’ll go to a different Chinese and pay half the price.

Superb food and service. Went for my son's birthday. It's excellent, but we knew that because we have been before.

We have had the pleasure of eating in with family on all our special occasions over the last 20 years and with friends, and now regularly as a take out as well! Food is by far the best and service incredible.Cannot recommend highly enough.

Had the restaurant booked for nearly 2 weeks only to be told that on New Year’s Eve they’ll only be serving banquets at £60pp. Not good customer service

Lovely staff, fantastic food, wonderful location

My wife said it was a little expensive, probably the best Chinese I have had in a long time.... That's probably why!

Love this place. Food is always hot

Had a lovely family birthday meal there tonight. Amazing food and the service was really good. Definitely will return 5 ⭐️

Must be the best Chinese restaurant on the Wirral. Update Sept 23. Thank you for taking an interest in, and looking after my Mother recently, she is as pleased as I am impressed.

Great food although arrived very quickly so unlikely to be fresh. Staff are very functional and lack personality. At 9pm as we were eating, staff member were hoovering the carpet next to us. Not great.

Delicious food! Great service too

food is great, but just too expensive. we ordered a take out and they charge exactly the same as you would pay to dine in. we would order from here much more frequently if there was a bit more of a push for take outs.

Had a delicious meal , shared platter starters , main was king prawn sweet and sour with jasmine rice, Malaysian chicken curry with noodles and beansprouts ...The atmosphere was relaxed, staff friendly and attentive. We will definitely eat here again.

Excellent service. Fab food. Lovely staff.

Had an excellent meal last night to celebrate our sons anniversary food was delicious service excellent as usual wod highly recommend

Superb food, always love this place. Went for son's birthday as it is his favourite place. It didn't disappoint.

Maybe the best Chinese meal we've ever had, chose from the gluten free menu and it was perfect. Beautiful decor with chilled atmosphere and gorgeous views over the estuary. Well recommended if you're in the area.

A great afternoon everything was 5 star

Excellent food and service bit pricy had to park 800yds away.

One of thr best Chinese by far no headache, no indigestion and no dry mouth. Excellent service and so attentive. The food was hot tasty and plenty

Had heard brilliant things about the food, but while it was very good (soup, ribs, and duck were excellent), some of the other starters were nothing special. Quite pricey given the quality of the food. That said, the staff were superb and a great location.

Consistently excellent quality food , a warm welcome and all in a great meal ending in 4 clean plates . Shout out too , to the attentive staff who looked after us well but not intrusive .Well done Chows!

Excellent meal. Service is amazing they really do look after you.

This place is beyond high quality!!! They were absolutely packed when I ordered a collection that only took 30mins to be prepared. I'm extremely picky, but this place is incredible!!! The blackbean sauce had 0 extra oils or grease, the sweet and sour chicken was crispy and perfect, duck spring rolls were stuffed full and crispy also, egg fried rice was top tier...it even came in a fabric bag with pockets for crying out loud!!! I felt like I was treated with care, time, affection, love and all this with a takeaway? Blown away guys. I'll be coming back like a boomerang from this day forth! Omg make sure you save some for the next day 😋😋

Fantastic food and great service. Always go here for Boxing day and treats for Mum.

First time visit loved loved it gi gi was amazing food was fantastic

Wonderful - best Chinese we’ve had for years. 👍🏻

The best food hands down 🔥🤌 Staff are so nice and always check in appropriately They actually have the best cocktails, there is this crazy good Malaysian one you need to ask for

Been a Chows Eating House customer for over 20 years. Treated very special friends to an evening in Chows Meeting House on a chilled out Sunday evening. Was as amazing food, service and environment as always. Thank you 🙏 x

Excellent food, lovely restaurant and great service!

Absolutely amazing food and service. Lovely restaurant. Highly recommended.

Yet again this place never fails to impress us 🤩 The best Chinese food you can eat and we'll worth paying for 🤤 We introduced this to our best friends who couldn't say anything but nice things about the food and portion sizes. Highly recommended for you all to visit at least once to see what we're talking about. One down side to the menu changes is we miss the sizzling cast iron plates for the crisply lamb in black bean 🤤🤤🤤🤤 10 /10 again.

An excellent meal with efficient staff and clean and pleasant venue. We visited on Thursday evening with friends. It was as part of their Golden Wedding celebration. We enjoyed each of the meals and the atmosphere was very pleasant. No loud music made it easy to chat with friends. It was a little more expensive than our usual Chinese but it was worth the difference.

First class meal, staff, chef as always. We had a lovely time.

This has got to be THE best or or one of the best eating places on Wirral. We went before Christmas and the food was out of this world, fantastic drinks menu.The staff and service was outstanding and the restaurant itself was so clean with a lovely atmosphere. We will definitely return very soon ❤️❤️

Absolutely love it here! The staff are amazing never had a bad experience.

We had a party of 6 all loved their choices.

Brilliant, food tops service very good 👍

Had a lovely banquet group of 16 people

Recently dined at Chows - amazing food and service. Highly recommended!

Mug I could give 100 stars I would. If there was a better word than amazing I would use it Food extremely fresh Staff so friendly and work so hard Lovely location in park gate Loads of food Couldn’t say one dish was better than another as it was all out of this world. Connected with the Lilly pad cafe at water world also amazing and same owners and highly recommended also

Really dissapointed booked chows months ago for new years eve and they have just called me to say it doesn't say on website but they are only serving banquets at £60 per head that night. Feels strange they have only just mentioned that as they didn't say this when they called few weeks ago to confirm my booking. I have now had to cancel not a happy lady.

Delicious food, excellent service! Cannot wait to return

Food is unbelievably good every single time, service is always amazing, special thank you to Helen for always making us welcome!

Food is lovely , but I'm afraid prices are extortionate don't think we will be going back £90 for 2 to eat .

I booked a table for 7 guests it was a special occasion and I specifically requested that we be seated in the over 21's restaurant, as I did not want to be seated in the main Restaurant. They text me back immediately confirming this. . A week later I changed my guest number to 9 and again they reconfirmed. On the evening when I arrived along with my guests, they had our table placed in the main restaurant, and said that they had no note of my request. Then changed their story to say that they could not accommodate 9 guests in the over 21's restaurant anyway. . I was left standing with my guests in the middle of the main restaurant, whilst the staff were just flapping around not knowing how to handle this situation. Obviously they were unable to rectify the problem. Out of desperation I rang The Ship in Parkgate who accommodated us, and saved the evening. I haven't even had the courtesy of an apology from Chows. Very unprofessional and discourteous of you Chows. !!

Chows is an amazing restaurant. My favourite place. Love everyone at Chows plus the food is fresh and delicious.

Love this place always fantastic food. On pricier side but you get what you pay for.

Absolutely delicious food in a fabulous comfortable environment with the most amazingly friendly staff. Will definitely return soon. Thank you Chows.

Nice decor, friendly service Very normal food but very overpriced Food tastes nothing more special than any takeaway restaurant. Fried not crispy enough Curry very “gluey” and “powdery” kind Sweet n Sour Chicken too much sauce…

Went to Mr Chows with my mum for tea. Had starters & Seabass each main , desert etc all fantastic!!! Such a lovely place with amazing staff & service. Looking forward to going back 😀

Outstanding. Hats off to Chows. Fabulous early Birthday celebrations with family. Service and food second to none. Chows Birthday cake was absolutely delicious - Thankyou so very much. See you all again soon

Fantastic restaurant and service, the food was amongst the best chinese cuisine I have ever had, such an array of flavours. Friendly and attentive staff. Reasonably priced aswell. Will definitely be going back.

Nice restaurant with some cracking food. We had vegetable fried rice which was amazing, along with salt pepper mushrooms. They tasted great ! Also crispy vegetable noodles, sweet n sour chicken. The food is really good - not typical Chinese restaurant this is top end. Staff were friendly and helpful. Restaurant is directly on the front in Parkgate - parking can be an issue. Having been here before a few years back this has to be 5/5 worthy of a visit. PS book ahead as they hardly have space

Lovely place to eat staff couldn't do enough for you food was excellent

Fantastic family meal, well worth it

Food very nice but nothing really that special and extremely over priced !!!

The food was really good, best Chinese i've had in a long time. Would recommend Chows to anyone looking for a great atmosphere as well as great quality scran.

My favourite restaurant. The food at Chows is fresh and delicious. The Chows team are amazing, each and every one at Chows, is lovely and they provide the best consistent service that i have ever encountered in any restaurant. Its my go to restaurant, whether it be for a quick meal for two on my way home from work or a big party. Chows in Parkgate is the one for me.

First went there fifty years ago !!!! The food and quality of service have always been excellent. Not cheap but great !!

As always had a really good takeaway.

I was underwhelmed. First visit ever. Nice food but very overpriced. Good quality but can get better for far less money. Sorry

Swe had a banquet for 3, the food was tasty and arrived in very good time. Staff were incredibly attentive, so would happily visit again. 👌🏿

Fantastic food as always, great atmosphere with staff very professional and friendly. 👍👍

Oh dear. I've lived on the Wirral for over 30 years and this was one of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever eaten in. However, I've not been for many year's until last night......... I was surprised at the menu change - no starters - just sharing platters at £18 per head - I have to say the platter was lovely but nothing outstanding - as good as you would get in any restaurant. We skipped my favourite crispy duck as we thought the £32 cost was a little too steep. We then ordered the mains. I went for king prawns with vegetables served with noodles. The menu didn't say you couldn't eat the noodles - they were used to serve the food in and were hard as rock. The dish was bland with very little taste. My friend ordered chicken which was reconstituted and slimey - again without much flavour. His girlfriend ordered the vegetable vermicelli which was OK but without much flavour either being just veg & noodles. Without the chilli sauce and soy sauce it would have been the blandest meal ever. The highlight came with the bill - which came to a staggering £155 for the three of us. I accept there was alcohol on the bill - 6 bottles of beer - 1 prosecco - 1 vodka & tonic + 3 Irish coffees, but it was an expensive Saturday night out!!! Looking at other reviews maybe they were having a bad night, but my wallet has asked me not to go back to check. I am also not in the habit of leaving poor reviews - rather leaving good ones as its easier to moan than praise. But I feel Mr Chows crown has certainly slipped and I shall be ordering my Chinese food from the many takeaways and chippies in the area in the future, that in my opinion provide better quality food if not atmosphere.

Always a good meal with attentive staff and good choice of meals/banquets. Lovely location on the Dee Estuary overlooking North Wales. Popular restaurant in the area for good reason. Worth a try.

The best on the Wirral by a long mile

No taste to the food and very pricey don't know what people rave about

Went for my wife's birthday meal last Friday and we were very happy. Great staff, very attentive and delicous food!

Wow , just had a lovely evening at chows . Secluded seating so we felt safe away from crowds. Lovely welcoming staff. Then the food , well this was one of the best Chinese meals we have ever had , amazing .

Went for my 60 birthday always go my birthday. I was surprised to see the relaxed Koi pond gone. The main dining room looked smaller. The food although good didn't meet previous visits and 10/10 standards.. Excellent attentve service Overall I was disappointed with the changes felt the magic has gone.

We booked our family christmas party and the restaurant was very accommodating with our numbers as they changed a few times. Meals were amazing and service was great! `we will be back soon. Thank you
