Something for everyone, and pleasant, efficient service from the friendly staff, who were busy keeping everything topped up. We all love the icecream machine! Recommended.

The house special fried noodle is a good option for you to have all the ingredients into a single dish. Crispy noodle is highly recommended as you may find it interesting if you seldom have Chinese cuisine. For fried rice, I guess Yang Chow fried rice would be a better option if you are not an egg lover.

NOT SAFE FOR STRICT VEGETARIANS. I have previously loved this place but having visited last night, I have been put off returning. First, our order was wrong but it was very busy so this wasn't an issue and we happily waited for the correct meal only to find a piece of chicken in my vegetarian sweet and sour meal. I believe due to the mistake they had given me sweet and sour chicken and just picked the chicken out, which as a vegetarian is rather disturbing to me. Imagine if it was an allergy? Could have been a much bigger disaster. This was my original review: Gorgeous food that was presented beautifully in a very visually attractive establishment. Staff were wonderfully polite and attentive. Social distancing measures in place, staff wearing face shields and/or masks and service was swift. Definitely recommend & I will be visiting again myself ๐Ÿ‘

Ever since Ho Lee Chow closed during lockdown we have been looking for a special Chinese restaurant, we have just found it!! We decided we'd pop in for lunch, before heading off to Manchester for a concert, as we wouldn't be back till late. Alas, the concert was cancelled, but fortunately we decided to treat ourselves and go for our meal anyway. The restaurant was quiet when we went in, at about 1:30pm, but the service and the food were absolutely first class. We just ate off the Happy Lunch menu, which I thought was very comprehensive for a restricted, cheap meal and we were more than happy with the meals we were served. So much so, that we've decided that we must hurry back one evening to have a proper meal, and really soak in the atmosphere of this cracking restaurant.

Although food wasn't replaced as fast as what was needed there was still plenty. The food is delicious and the price is amazing at ยฃ11.95 per head. Some Thai, Malaysian and Singapore dishes too.

We visited this restaurant a few days ago after many years visiting Southport and walking past.This time we chose to disregard the outside view and look at the reviews.Seriously guys you need to upgrade the outside to attract more people.The food was outstanding as was the service. The following day we were passing buy and overheard people commenting on how โ€˜scruffyโ€™ it looked. I told them not to be put off as we were from the outside.5 stars given for food, ambience and service, well done. We will definitely be back

When we decide to grab a takeaway we usually go for convenience and therefore choose a local takeaway business. This time we decided to try Straits Kitchen as friends and family had recommended it. The service was impeccable, order placed easily due to a well informed menu, the recipient of the call made it very clear as to time to arrive and phone when you park up, they asked you to stay in car and brought everything out to you (COVID measures) which we thought was appropriate. The food was delicious, very tasty and filling, nothing was wasted. The sauces with the meals tasted fabulous. We had boneless pork ribs in Cantonese sauce, duck spring rolls with hoisin sauce and shared a main meal chicken in garlic chilli sauce. We truly recommend Straits Kitchen fir those looking for tasty food and great service.Thank you Peter and Donna.
