Eastern Delight in Cheshire West and Chester

This was our go to place for good Chinese food and their teatime special was always excellent value. However tonight was a disaster … everything had changed, the food was dreadful and absolutely tasteless. The lovely attentive staff were still there but the place was empty this restaurant was always buzzing … but back to the food, the spring rolls were cold in the middle, barbecued ribs had a very thin runny sauce which certainly wasn’t how I remembered them, not nice tbh.… chicken toast my partner spat out, main meal (chicken curry ) was ok but my partners sweet and sour chicken was the tiniest of portions but just ok and the banana fritter hadn’t seen a fryer it was just cold and limp ! So sad … won’t be returning.

Absolutely vile food. Nothing was really hot and it tasted disgusting. Without any doubt the worst Chinese food we have ever had which is a pity as it used to be good. The place was also almost empty (used to be so busy) so we wondered whether others have had the same experience and gone elsewhere.

Amazing service lots of amazing food and drinks Love this place would recommend to family and friends galore lots of fun

Ordered mixed meat meal and it was truly awful. very disappointed. the portion size was big that not a positive. The meat was either tough or full of fat. I really wanted to spit out but I am just too polite. The service was friendly but could of been better when ask for recommendations. I won't be coming back. shame meal ruined. Especially when u don't go out much.

Very slow service, long wait in between courses. Had the teatime set menu. Declined the option of coffee or ice cream as the last course but opted to take what we left from our main meal home. Bill came we were charged 50p for the container despite not having the last course. Food was bland.

Polite and helpful staffs!!! Restaurant is with traditional Chinese decoration. Food is so so, cannot compare to what we ate in Hong Kong or China 😜.

We visited this restaurant on a Friday evening. We are not from the area and this restaurant looked ok from the pictures. The only good thing about The Eastern Delight is the staff but you don’t eat them. This has to be the only place where we have had lukewarm soup - horrible! The starters were very bland and the tastiest thing on the starters plate was the pickled vegetables. We had a break in our meal before we had the duck pancakes and it was obvious that the duck had been waiting all that time as the fat on the plate was congealed and the duck was not crispy. The char Sui pork was soggy and had no red colouring in it at all. We decided that we had eaten enough and asked if we could take our two main meals with us . We were advised that there would be a charge for putting the meal in containers. When we received the bill we were amazed at a charge of £1.50 for the said containers. We shouldn’t have bothered as we put the meal straight in the bin when we got home. It is fair to say that we will not be having a second visit!!!

Nice food staff a bit vacant no baby changing had to change her on the floor in the middle of the place not good disabled toilet flood flooded and dirty

Great service and excellent food for a fair price. During a conversation with our waiter I mentioned it was my wife's 75th birthday. At the end of our meal and to our surprise, they played a "happy birthday" song and then arrived with a large sorbet of ice cream within a glass. Thank you to all the staff of Eastern Delight.

This restaurant is out of the way in Whitby in Ellesmere Port. However, it’s similar to the Chinese restaurants you find in a city because of the ambience, the quality of the food and the high service levels - all of which are very good indeed! If you are visiting Chester or Cheshire Oaks, take time to book it as you’ll really enjoy it👍

Great food good value for money. Helpful and friendly staff.

My friend and I ate here Tues eve. Our table was booked for 6pm and we left at 9.30 pm ! We’d ordered the teatime special, soup came out swiftly so off to a promising start. It went downhill from there., tables filled up but no one was being served food only drinks. Our rib course came out 30 mins after the soup, microwaved extremely hot. Another 30 plus mins later out came a very dried up tiny peice of duck. Another 30 plus mins my tough beef greasy noodle dish was served. Really disappointing food and extremely slow service/ chef. When I asked why was everything taking so long the waiter grumpily replied we’re busy. Luckily my good friend and I had plenty to talk about . We had to ask for the bill twice too. I have a feeling that telephone orders take priority.

Went to get a meal at 5pm. We was told we have 90 minutes until we are kicked out at 6.30. I was literally rushed to pick what I wanted from the menu. The salt and pepper chicken wings tasted like Indian curry powder with literally no taste and the beef garlic and chilli which I asked for to be hot hot hot was bland. The rice was cold and the hot and sour soup was not upto the standard I'm used to. I do not no what the rave is about on the reviews I was literally livid I paid 30 pound for food I could cook better myself. Will not be returning. And the old man who was serving us thinks he's funny but I thought he was cheeky and the food was a joke so there 1 Star as was bitterly disappointed.

Another fantastic meal good service good food decent prices

Lovely staff, fantastic food and service

Great food and service, tea time special highly recommended

Excellent food, service, atmosphere and value

Friendly staff and excellent food

Lovely staff. Very pleasant evening

Just had supper at Eastern Delight restaurant. Food was superb at a reasonable price with professional staff and excellent service.

Great now as it was years ago . Always enjoy the food here . The staff are amazing 😍

Never thought we'll find such a beautiful restaurant in Ellesmere port 😍 food was absolutely delicious, fresh vegetables, best meat cooked to perfection 🥰 Well trained staff, polite, helpful and good sense of humour 😀. If you want to have good time, with best food and not travel too far, this is definitely right place.

Excellent food, friendly staff, amazing gluten free menu, and the staff are well trained with cross contamination for food allergies, will definitely be going back soon

Ordered take away last night and was so disappointed. The food was very poor. I used to love the food from here but will not order from them again. It is a shame as it used to be amazing.

Me and my girlfriend came here for one of our special traditions that we do once a year and we will definitely be back sooner rather than later. We first grabbed by the atmosphere the moment we walked in, loved the décor, gave a real authentic Chinese feel, a business led by a family. The dishes felt like they were served at home, a 10/10 experience recommended to anyone who loves Chinese cuisine.

My boyfriend and I felt every meal served was a 10/10 experience. Good value of money for their tea time special, considering my boyfriend is 6” tall and I’m just a big eater lol. Even with almost a full house, service was impeccable and quick. Food was amazing, loved the chicken and sweet corn soup, sweet and sour chicken, and banana fritters (for only £1 extra). The banana fritters reminded me of what I used to get a lot back in Malaysia, so it tasted like home 🥰 I kept forgetting to take photos of our meals, just shows how much we enjoyed it! They’ve gained new regulars :)

This use to be my favourite place but the past cupple of months the standard of the food as dropped the delivery's are taking so long the food is cold will not be ordering again

Lovely staff, lovely food and surroundings!

We booked a table for 5pm on a Saturday evening. We waited over 2 hours for our main meals (we ordered a banquet) We were given the excuse that they were prioritising take away orders. Appalling service, poor food and a ruined birthday.

We have been coming to this Chinese restaurant since we were 18. We are now 65. Excellent service and food. Great staff.

Lovely food and very nice service.

Absolutely beautiful little restaurant. Came here for my mum's 40th and they brought her dessert and played a quirky little version of "happy birthday" after which all the staff wished her happy birthday as well. I would probably go as far as to say it's the best Chinese in the port. The food was amazing, presentation was lovely and the decór was authentic, giving an Oriental air to the place.

Nice but small portions and rice didn't seem fresh maybe warmed up ?

We found this place whilst searching for a Chinese whilst staying in Chester, we ordered the £22 banquet, the C&Sweetxorn soup was nice and the prawn toast was lovely on the starters my husband loved the ribs and the spring rolls to. The duck was amazing so tasty ! And then came the mains ….. I ordered salt and pepper king prawns wow they was delicious , my husband had special curry again gorgeous but best of all which my husband still can’t get over was the chips !! Yes the chips they were home cooked fresh chips and took my husband back to his childhood , he hasn’t had chips that good in 30 years a little nostalgia from grandmas chips :). Well done food was lovely if I could say one development area it would be the table it wasn’t placed in the best area of the dining room and felt a little out of the way, if in the area will defo be back

Worst take away meal we have experienced for some time The chicken in yellow bean sauce didnt seem to have any sauce if it did it was overpowered by a strange red vinagery sauce . The sweet and sour pork was soggy and had the same strange sauce the boiled rice and wonton soup was ok but the salt and pepper ribs were dried out Wont be going back!!!!

Clean environment. Courteous staff. good food. Reasonable prices. Enjoyed the Egg fried rice,Bean Sprouts & sizzling King prawn Chinese style.

We went for tea with some friends it was amazing we had the teatime special and a few drinks 👍

One of the worst Chinese meals I ever tasted !! To salty to greasey fried rice recycled water down soup need to sack the cheif

Fantastic meal as always, the staff are so polite and food excellent quality and defo a Chinese to visit. The best Chinese!

Had the tea time special banquet. Several dishes to choose from eg soup, starter and main course. Relaxing atmosphere, you don't feel as though you have to rush your meal. Lovely, thank you.

After reading all the positive reviews We were looking forward to eating at this place , but every single dish was poor apart from prawn crackers. The crispy duck was dry and over fried, rice was hard to chew, prawn tasted straight out of freezer, sweet and sour chicken was just dry chicken with red sticky sauce with no flavour. Every sauce looked unappealing and tasted like a powder mix. Supermarket Chinese food would be much better. Honestly, anyone who rates the food 4 probably haven’t had a decent Chinese food.

Great tasty food. Choice of banquets and they did do a teatime special menu. I ordered separately but banquets did appear to look nice. Huge plate of ribs for £9.99 Good value for money. Typical Chinese restaurant style some lovely pieces especially the Buddha. Toilets were dated but clean.

Another lovely evening with friends at this excellent restaurant. Been here many times and the staff and food are the best we have experienced. If you haven't been before get yourself there to sample lovely food from lovely staff.

Service was appalling, it was over one hour before being served starters and over three hours before getting the main meal. The food when it eventually arrived was excellent.

Great food, pleasant atmosphere staff are very friendly. Family run Chinese at its best. If nothing you need is not on the menu they will go out of their way to help.

The best Chinese food around 👍🏻 Love the salt and pepper squid and Eastern delight ribs. Teatime special menu is amazing value for money!! Highly recommended

Food was superb and so was the service. Overall experience was an absolute delight. Would definitely love to eat there again.

Always a fab time when I come here!

Had a takeaway here soup was nice but the main meals weren’t brilliant for the price. I ended up leaving most of my meal the meat in it was very chewy and didn’t taste good.

Lovely food, friendly staff and good prices. Recommended

Another great evening in a really great restaurant

Always good food. Great service, along with friendly staff.

Omg...this restaurant is super...cant wait to return

Took my better half for the first time earlier, booked on the Tuesday before and probably wise as it was very busy at half past six . Starters consisted of prawn crackers ,chicken spring rolls and crispy wontons to share ,mains was chicken chow mein and chicken in a hot (not ) chillie sauce ,both meal were larger than expected and struggled to finish if being honest ,very tasty and very attentive staff,only disappointment was the fact that they don't do non alcoholic beers which is quite surprising as it's sold everywhere and I do think they should consider stocking to discourage any temptation to drink drive other than that it was a very enjoyable meal.

Another fantastic experience with Matthew, Anna and the rest of the team at The Eastern Delight. We have never had a bad meal, hence why this was the first choice when we asked our daughter where she would like to celebrate her 14th Birthday. The staff were brilliant as always, the meals were delicious and not one of the 20 of us was disappointed.

A family run establishment- been in eport since I was a kid. I love it and so do my kids.

Lovely places great food well worth it

Nice little restaurant. Food was ok. Only quibble was spring rolls came out stone cold, almost still frozen

Fabulous takeaway (worth the drive!) Particularly liked the seafood twist on chicken and sweetcorn soup! They can't do payment over the phone so I had to go home and get my purse when I realised I had left without it. But they managed to keep the food warm for me and were very understanding. Lovely service and as stated, delicious food. Thank you!

The best chinese food in town and the service is friendly and welcoming!

This place is amongst my favourite restaurants! Great for a celebration with tables suitable for small or larger groups! Staff are super friendly and always make sure you’re well looked after! Food is always on point with good portion sizes meaning even I have leftovers to take home for the next day! Well worth a visit!

Fantastic restaurant excellent food and service, the food portions filled a healthy appetite

1st time we've ordered takeaway from here , sweet and sour chicken was a very overpowering taste of vinegar and the chicken was tough, Chicken chewmein had no flavour and sloppy. Salt and pepper ribs were so bland with no flavour at all , and special fried rice was ok but the pork was completely dried out. Very poor food considering its a restaurant. Definitely wouldn't recommend.

First time back here for a while but don't think it's as good as it used to be. Had tea time special and starter's are the best although a little greasy compared to the last visit. Mains are quite bland.

Food was amazing as always. We ordered the tea time banquet with Duck and were so full we had to take our main course home!

8 of us went to the Eastern Delight last night, the food, service and value for money was excellent. I highly recommend the restaurant. We look forward to our next visit.

Always good food. Great service. Friendly staff.

Great food and fantastic service, recommend highly.

Lovely food and Service. Only go to Chinese Sit down restaurant in Ellesmere Port.

Always one of our favourite places to visit. Amazing food, immaculate service and great company!

Another great night at this fabulous chinese restaurant food was absolutely delicious as usual service brilliant despite being full and staff were their usual friendly selves try it for yourselves

We do the early dinner here, great value. Food ways good.

Excellent service and food will be going again xx

Lovely resturant food was amazing staff really lovely.. would deffinatly recommended a visit there👏

My favorite Chinese restaurant which I have visited since 1990. The service and food quality is second to none. I've known the staff all this time and become great friends. The salt and pepper squid is out of this world So glad I live around the corner ❤️

Menu changes on tea time special but still OK

Really great service, decor really set the feeling of China traditions and the food was excellent 👌top restaurant 👌

Nice atmosphere. Staff are great, as is the food. Good sized portions.

Food was only tepid, the tea time special was small, duck for 4 was tiny I suppose you get what you pay for

Visited with my wife,booked before we left birmingham,the restaurant is easy to find on the main road,very good service,the menu is extensive and the fodr was really nice,we made a night of it with a nice meal and a bottle of red,a real find.The toffee banana (my favourits sweet)was really good it was worth the journey for that alone although the rest of the food was very good,we would go ahain when we are in the area.

Just loved the food so well presented and prices are good Value too.

Love to eat in and take away. Staff are so lovely and welcoming. Been going for years now. We have multiple food issues within our household and they have no problem catering for us and we have never experienced a reaction. My 5 year old loves the food (always sweet and sour chicken! Gluten and peanut free, with gluten free prawn crackers).

We ate here yesterday and had a wonderful banquet. There was more than enough food and it was cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly and helpful and could not have been better

Fantastic restaurant, great staff, lovely food. Not much else to say. Brilliant

Lovely restaurant amazing family atmosphere and great food. Left fully and happy definitely going back there the banquets are amazing.

Visited as part of our trip for 6. Great service and fantastic food. All 6 of us enjoyed the food that we were served. Restaurant very clean and high attention to c19 measures. Great atmosphere. Best Cantonese food I have eaten in ages.

Lovely food and service again will always go back

Lovely food and very good service

Dirst time here certainly won't be the last. Excellent service, excellent food. Had a lovely evening. Thank you for the birthday ice cream surprise so kind of you

I love the food so very much

Out last night after meeting up with old workmates, it must be about a year since we last met up for obvious reasons and it was so good to feel like normality is finally getting closer,a few beers outside in the sun then some food....

Lovely meal and amazing and attentive staff. Highly recommended

Best meals in this area , good service, lovely staff, and hard to beat, Really been missed during lockdown

Was treated to a lovely meal here with my brother, nephew and his girlfriend. The waiters were super professional and attentive but not annoyingly so. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and definitely come back again.

Always great food definitely worth booking in or take away excellent food and great service 👍

Nice food, very pleasant staff, customers are temperature tested on way in and the staff are very thorough with covid cleaning when people leave.

Chinese food at its best. The food is absolutely amazing, well presented in all its entirety. Visit asap.

First time tried eastern delights will definitely be visiting again. Staff friendly and was very impressed with the way the way they sanitised the card machine after each use and sanitiser accessible for customer use. The food was excellent and did not have to wait...

Really nice atmosphere , and amazing service

Food and staff are amazing Just one thing which spoilt our family night was the phone constantly ringing and staff NOT answering it I no they where take away orders on the phone however staff need to answer the phone
