Ma Bo Restaurant in Liverpool

Ma Bo Chinese restaurant in town Liverpool is in the Chinatown area, room number 4, right from the Chinatown gate. It's a small shop with only one room and there are quite a lot of people. - Red pork dumpling noodles, 7 pounds, gets 5 plump dumplings. Comes with 7-8 thick pieces of red pork. Clear soup, mild flavor Asian food is the most delicious. Eat hot with a medium spoon. Eat and warm your body and relax your belly.

OK so the atmosphere isn't amazing but the food is consistently excellent. This place is a deserved Liverpool legend. Dang good & very reasonably priced.

I went on a Friday evening and there were a lot of customers. Not only is it cost-effective, but it's really delicious. Next time I go to Liverpool, I have to visit again^^

Seafood ingredients are not fresh,

Probably the best Chinese restaurant experience I've had in the UK. Food was delicious and the staff were super friendly, and very polite. Would return if I was in the neighbourhood.

Fantastic restaurant... Spotlessly clean... Friendly staff... A fabulous selection on the menu...

amazing food. staff and service was good. price was decent deffo going to return.

Been coming to this place for over 40 years, plain looking place. But beautiful tasty food, crispy pork and char siu fried rice, hanbao shumai gorgeous! All good xxxx

Maybe some of the interior is old but it's well kept . I call it clean old . Food is good . I wish it would open again soon. I don't like to see businesses close down.

Been here a a few times wanton soup i go for enough for 2 people.

Been going here for forty years always a great authentic chinese meal. Wanton noodle and duck soup best ever

Is MaBo closed? Went sat 29th Aug 20 at 6pm, looked like been closed for a while. So disappointed! Website says open. Hope this isn’t an end of era!

Went here last night and have to say I loved the food, absolutely delicious

Been there many years ago we stopped going there when the plates went smaller ND price never changed so we did not go there anymore.

Absolute classic of a place, part of Liverpools Chinese history

Lugar cerca de la catedral, familiar y platillos bien servidos

Fresh tasty food in a traditional styled Georgian house, looks a bit tired from the outside and inside but don’t let that put you off

Ordered the banquet, great tasting food and amazing value.

Old building, more like someone's house but the food was great.

El peor restaurante chino en el que he estado. Soy de no dejar nada en el plato nunca y no he podido terminar nada. Todo con una salsa muy desagradable. Y he pedido rollito de primavera y ha sido imposible ni con salsa de soja. No se lo deseo ni a mi peor enemigo.

Excellent still best on china town best wonton soup

Nothing changes in 30 years ... inc bathroom .. best food cx

It was ok but i had the feeling that they treat people as tourists all the time i was looking for authentic experience didn't get ot been given knife and fork summed it up 🙄

Best Duck I've ever had in my life!

Great Chinese kitchen, return visit after near 20 years and food is just as tasty.

A pot of chinese tea, prawn crackers, chicken and sweetcorn soup, ribs, egg fried rice, char sui bean sprouts and a chicken and mushroom dish all for £12. Nice food, no frills, great value.

Can't get better wonton soup in the UK

Recently given a "0" star hygiene rating from the FSA. Avoiding for now

Was freshly cooked!staff is bit slow but still can recommend it to people 🤩😘

I read that it was the first Chinese restaurant in Europe, for sure it was not. Good or just ok , cheap, service very bad, they barely speak English so it was impossible to communicate with the waiter

I love the Ma Bo! Housed in Georgian China town, the decor hasn't changed for decades. The food is superb home cooking style, generous portions and inexpensive. We took some champagne and had a really fun dinner. This place is a landmark restaurant in Liverpool.

Simple Chinese restaurant, serving large portions of good food and cheap too.

BEST PLACE EVER for a Chinese Dinner!!!!!!

Very nice staff and friendly staff and good food. Wait was a little longer than I would have liked but they made up for it with very large portions. Would definitely go again

I first ate here 43 years ago Still just as good The wanton noodle soup with Fishballs the best

great noodle dishes and excellent duckling

I have been going to the MaBo for 40 years. It has not changed. Good or bad? I still like it.

Nothing fancy here . Basic set up, old school Chinese restaurant, and the food is excellent, well worth a visit. 👍👍

Love this place first time was when my nan took me only ever have won ton noodle soup then even now still delicious and still the best for won tons since I tried many restaurants in Liverpool and Manchester even kowloon and Hong Kong..

Reasonable price. Acceptable food.

The grumpy service was part of the charm, particularly enjoyed the bathroom.

Great place, a basic workers cafe with a wide Northern China menu. I can recommend the wantons and the ho fun noodles and the near perfect alt and pepper squid. Be nice to Ma and she will look after you.

The food is alright. We had sweet and sour chicken and prawns with fried rice. But it is a tad expensive. Also, the interior is ghastly and staff barely speak English.

Food was really grim. Service pretty bad. The place hasn't been decorated in 30 years. You'd expect it to be cheap right? No... it was extremely overpriced. 80 quid for 3 of us. Ma Bo? Ma No

Very dated decor, which is fine if the food is great. The food is not great. It's not terrible, but neither is a nut allergy. Ambitious pricing - £80 for 3 of us. Dishes served cold Stingy on takeaway boxes. I enjoyed the brisket noodles. Shouldve gone next door. Or anywhere else.

I've been going here since I was a youngster, it's definitely the best AUTHENTIC Chinese restaurant in Liverpool. If you want real Chinese chefs cooking real Chinese food then this is the place, from the inside it even looks like a Chinese restaurant you'd come across if you were ever in China.

I've eaten out a lot, and all over the world. We're talking Ecuador, Thailand, Vietnam, all Malaysia, Japan, over Europe. But never have I had a meal quite as completely lacking in any virtues as the one I endured at Mabo. Firstly, I was feeling pretty thirsty having explored Liverpool and wanted some water before coffee or beer. No free tap water. This in the UK is just horrendous... I mean why? For me that's instantly a terrible sign. The woman serving us looked on with a silent look of contempt as my protests waned. Ok, no water for us... Never mind, I'll just have a coffee. Me and my friend order some stir fried noodles from the sour faced matron, mine's with duck, his with chicken. I thought "hey, we're in China town, the meal costs £8.50 and the place hasn't spent much on decor, so its probably gonna be really nice low budget food!" First comes the coffee: standard small instant coffee with milk. No worries, coffee isn't particularly chinese, it will probs cost £1 or something. Then, the stir fry.... Noodles, briefly fried with some frozen sliced vegetables, then drowned in what can only be described as gravy. I kid you not. Noodles and gravy was what was served. Chinese stir fry? £8.50? This was nothing close to the many delicious chinese stir fries I've had for less money, and also in the UK. There was nothing remotely chinese about it. save perhaps for the style the duck was cooked, which was to be fair pretty passable. My friend had almost exactly the same, except he couldn't even force his down. We should have left without paying. Good God I wish we had. But I've never done that before and was too tired and hungry to bother. Sure, I've eaten things that tasted even worse before, but they were in weird places where i didn't know what I was ordering, and they always cost a lot less. This was inexcusably bad for the price. And in Chinatown! Disgraceful! Finally it's over and we get the bill... On top of the appallingly over-priced food, the coffee was, wait for it, £3! For dish water instant coffee! Sorry what just happened? In the end I was robbed of £11.50, for an awful experience. The awful value for money is what makes it all the worse. Imagine going to Subway with that much money.. that's what I kept thinking as I forced down the greasy, flavorless noodles... I wish I had taken a picture.

牛腩面很正，他們自制的辣椒油也很好！The Sirloin Soup Noodles is awesome, and their homemade chilli oil is good as well.

Peking duck and Wanton noodle soup were excellent. No frills restaurant, just great tastes.

We came from Wolverhampton and ate at this restaurant, the food here is delicious. Authentic! We experienced flavours we've never known existed. Soooo good. We recommend it to anyone in Liverpool. This place deserves to be recognised.

Amazing food ! Won ton noodles an roast duck . Class

Delicious Chinese food. My grandad has been going for years and introduced me to it. Best Chinese in Liverpool.

I'm a Cantonese Chinese. I've been to some big cities including London. It's the best Chinese restaurant I've ever tried in United Kindom. If you find that strange, it's just because it's real Chinese food, instead of the fusion thing used to fool foreign people.

been going to the Ma Bo over 35 years its the best try it out another great one is the happy garden in manchester its the same as the Ma Bo MEGA
