Maple Tree in Marple Bridge in Stockport

The king prawn with ginger and spring onion is without a doubt the best I've eaten, there is no equal to be found in this area. The egg fried rice was also of excellent quality. I've known the owner/manager Sunny for a great number of years, he manages a first class kitchen and offers a quality restaurant and takeaway service.The take away & restaurant food cannot be bettered. Tony M.

The food is superb here and there is a great atmosphere.

I always like to get takeout here when I visit my brother Martin. Really great food. Highly recommended.

Fantastic! We've been twice so far as a family and also had takeaway. Sunny the owner is amazing he remembered all our names from the previous visit together which was two years ago! He organised the table so we had room for our pushchair and a highchair, nothing was too much trouble to make us feel welcome. Everything we ordered was brilliant I had the set meal and everything was superb, everyone else had various starters and different dishes which we all shared. This is not your average Chinese restaurant it is more expensive but food is high quality, delicous and one the best I have ever been to! A fabulous experience.

From start to end a wonderful experience under the care and attention of the lovely Sunny. Thank you once again.

First time here and certainly won’t be the last, minced chicken with lettuce wraps and salt & pepper prawn were the most savoury light delectable starters with duck, rice and the star of the show, steamed whole sea bass for main. My oh my best sea bass I have ever eaten, moist, fell off the bone, intensely savoury liquor, no extra thickeners. Just wow. And Sunny. Sunny sunny sunny. You were the highlight of the evening. Please visit this place you won’t regret it, we will definately be back, same again please ❤️

Absolutely wonderful experience. Sunny was our waiter and he was incredible!! even played the harmonica because it was someone birthday!! will 100% be going back!!

Visited this evening with both my gorgeous daughters, their boyfriends and my husband. We had a lovely evening the food was delicious and the staff were really friendly. Thanks so much for a fantastic night. 😊

Yesterday for set meals for 2 , very enjoyable for the Valentine's Day with my wife .

Brilliant restaurant. Lovely staff and the food is excellent quality. We had a selection of starters, crispy duck, lemon chicken and kung po prawns all absolutely delicious especially the lemon chicken which wasn’t the usual sticky sickly texture you can get it. Would recommend. The owner is also really friendly

Had a takeaway only. Food portions were more than adequate but of average quality. Staff very pleasant.

My favourite Chinese food always great hot and fresh.

Went with friends and family and maitre d was superb along with the food.

Food was delicious as always, a little expensive compared to other restaurants . I don't think we could eat here every week, but for New Year's eve it was lovely.

Wow best Chinese iv ever had the combo starter was amazing and the main meals were very good. Not sure why we haven't been before but we will be definitely going again very soon 😊.Not forgetting sunny and his staff very polite and friendly people All round 10/10.

Amazing food!! Amazing service from staff, will be back

Another great evening at the Maple Tree, the best Chinese in our area. The food is always cooked fresh, service is excellent and Sunny takes time to get to know each table even playing happy birthday on his harmonica for my Partner! Always such a treat and I would highly recommend

We went for my friends birthday and Sunny was an excellent host and server. He even sang happy birthday with his harmonica! Food was excellent. We had a great half duck to start with spring rolls and for main sizzling chicken in black bean sauce was superb. Will 100% go again even though we’re from London.

Diabolical, food was very salty over spicy, untrained kids serving. Two adults one child two small bottles of beer. Wife and I had a starter of spring rolls and s+p chicken wings. Mains my child had starter of spare ribs for main meal I had fillet beef b,bean sauce very salty and over spicy, with noodles even these where overly spicy. Wife had sweet,sour chicken, ended up with a bill for £93! And had to constantly ask for card reader to pay bill. Won't be going again .

6 of us went for a meal all the food was lovely and nicely presented. Staff all friendly great evening

Very friendly staff Great food Very relaxing restaurant

Had a lovely evening with friends. The food was fantastic. We really enjoyed the set menu, but could happily have chosen anything from the main menu. It all sounded great. The staff are all relaxed and very friendly, with the owner coming personally to greet us and returning to us several times to check we were enjoying ourselves. Such a lovely family atmosphere. Will definitely be going back.

Visiting for 1st time 28th Oct 2023 Very warmly greeted. We had the set meal and the food was cooked to perfection and plenty of it as the food just kept arriving on the table. A good selection of drinks were available. We were a party of 8 plenty of room around the table, nice comfatable atmosphere in the restaurant which was very busy. Nothing was to much trouble for the staff, and as for the proprietor what a Really nice person Sunny is. He kept checking to see that everything was ok. This was our first visit and it most certainly will not be the last. Hopefully we will be back in December to try more of Sunnys great food. The ribs are really something to be seen and eaten, proper ribs with plenty of meat on them not like you get from your local Chinese chippy. The occasion was Sandra's birthday and Sunny played happy birthday to Sandra on his harmonica while the rest of us sang happy birthday to her. I feel like I have made a new friend in Sunny in making us most welcome, and what a really nice and sincere man he is. An excellent experience all round and I would definitely recommend the Maple Tree Restaurant. It is easy to find on the main street in Marple Bridge. Many thanks to Sunny and his staff for a throughly enjoyable evening and food. And a throughly enjoyable experience all round.

Top place well worth a visit food exceptional

I emailed 4 weeks ago and asked about an allergy to MSG. Sadly no response. When I eventually got to Contact the restaurant they do use it. Shame as other restaurants now don’t rely on awful additive to make food Taste ok.

Lovely food and excellent service. A very enjoyable evening

Visited after reading the excellent reviews and pleased to say the recommendations were bang on, lovely food, attentive and warm service, worth travelling a few miles for, we will definitely be back.

Had such a lovely evening at Maple Tree. Sunny and his team were very hospitable and made us feel so welcome. The food was delicious, with very decent sized portions. We will most definitely be returning.

Super food! Amazing hospitality from Sunny such a friendly guy, I wish the portion sizes were bigger but the food was so good!

Quick late supper presented well by very sociable staff

Excellent Chinese food and what a wonderful front of house.

A great find on the strength of previous reviews. Excellent service and the quality of the food was top drawer. Sunny entertained my daughter, whose birthday it was, with a rendition of 'Happy Birthday to you' on his harmonica. A lovely touch. Good value and a lovely friendly atmosphere. Already looking forward to going again.

Food lovely, but the lamb could have been hotter & was a bit chewy

Fantastic evening as always, service by a couple of lovely funny young ladies, food was delicious and Sonny came over for a chat and amazingly he remembered all our names, we went with Jackie and Anthony this time, we will be back again soon. Thank you sunny. Gail and Andy

I had a horrible experience here with my two sons. When we walked in this man started yelling at me in Chinese, I felt horrified and started yelling back, then these two small asian ladies came up and told me to calm down then they also started yelling in chinese!! Not to mention the food was far too spicy, it was like eating a carolina reaper!!😡 I will NEVER go here again. - Yours sincerely, Katie, George and Button xX

Had a lovely meal here tonight. The crispy shredded beef in chilli was amazing 👏

Best Chinese around by far. Absolute fire.

First time hear after reading some great reviews amd I can see why! Only ordered a take away but my wife said how lovely they were when she went in to collect, they double checked the order and it was bang on time. The food was very good indeed, set meal for 2 and I couldnt have enjoyed it more if I wanted. Definitely 100 percent recommend 👌

The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. It's well worth traveling the extra mile or two

We just had such a lovely dinner at Maple Tree last night! The owner, Sunny, and all of the other servers couldn’t have been nicer. I’d recommend to anyone craving a delicious flavorful Chinese meal in the Marple area!

Great food here with Sunny at the helm. The quality is always consistent. We went last night we our friends and had a great night. Go get a very personal happy service from all the staff.

we'll worth it top quality food and staff friendly

We went here for valentines day, the server was very attentive and spent time getting to know us. He must do this a lot as while we were in there he had clear regular customers come in for both eating in and takeaways. The atmosphere was really nice and relaxed and we didn't feel rushed like some small restaurants can seem. We ordered the fixed menu for 2 and we shared all the food. Great quality food and amazing value for money.

Very nice meals and service sunny is a lovely host went for my wife's birthday

Excellent food, very attentive staff and a very caring Sunny(proprietor) good value for money.

Really enjoyed the food and friendly service. Highly recommend.

Excellent meal tonight £36pp set meal all piping hot, great food ,lovely service would highly recommend this restaurant thanks Sonnie and staff great place will be back Nev the prime minister 😂

The best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to, we brought my grandparents out for a meal and we were thrilled with the brilliant service and the food was exceptional!! We will never go anywhere else, thank you to Sonnie and your team - a beautiful meal.

Food excellent as is Sonny (hope I spelled correctly!). Only marked down one as drinks and food orders been slow recently upon arrival. But can't fault the food or service from the boss. Still favourite spot for Chinese food.

Excellent food and excellent service provided by Sunny and his team.

We had an early evening meal booked on christmas eve, The drinks came and then we waited and waited to order our food. There were 2 set menus one £40 and the other £45. No coffees on the menu. We ordered our choices and the first course came, this was lovely, the 2nd course arrived that too was delicious, the main course arrived for 4 of us but not the 5th person. The rest were half way through their meals before we could speak to anyone about the missing meal. We asked sunni where the meal was. He argued that there was only one portion of the meal ordered,. After a little confrontation the 5th ,meal finally arrived when the rest of the party had almost finished their meal. The waiting on staff were clueless. When clearing away the 2nd course one of the girls dropped a dirty plate on one of the diners knee leaving some of the left overs of spare ribs on their knee. I know accidents happen but more care required. We have been many times and had some really good meals there but never again. Firstly why argue that a meal was not ordered when it obviously was. Could he not see that only 4 of us were eating? . The customer is always right. Not at the Maple Tree obviously. I know it was christmas eve but there was not £40 worth of food on our table. We had with us relatives from Canada visiting us for christmas. They were really disappointed at the service and the argument over a late meal. It was embarrassing for us after we told them we had been to the place before and how good it was. Very disappointing all round. We will not be going back.

I came here for the first time this evening with my family and the food was lovely. The owner Sunny is so kind and welcoming! Will definitely be returning again.

10/10 lovely service and atmosphere, the owner was absolutely wonderful. We even got a musical finale. We will definitely be going back for more!

This was the worst place I've ever been nothing like a Chinese restaurant at all in an old pub you 1st food part was terrible and cost £10.00 just for a very small 1st start then the main part was rubbish and hardly enything I've seen before so cost us for two people just under £60.00 the food looks like pr, made frozen rubbish

Great food just a touch expensive

The best chinese restaurant I've been to. The food was lovely, the portions were quite huge, which I really enjoyed after a long hike! The owner and the stuff are such a lovely people. Definitely I'm gonna be back there one day!

Amazing Chinese. Freshly cooked. Very tasty. Will definitely visit again!

Had a fantastic meal here tonight, amazing service and amazing food. We had the mixed starter everything was served hot and fresh, you could tell the spring rolls were hand made and they tasted delicious! The sweet and sour and black bean sauces were great and nice salt and pepper chips to accompany. Would highly recommend going here if you want Chinese cuisine in the Stockport area!

Well... never did I think I would be writing a review like this, about one of my favourite Chinese restaurants in marple .... but here goes. Firstly, haven't had a takeaway from here for ages but thought we'd treat ourselves & was really looking forward to it 😋 but what a disappointment.... dim sum starter was very mediocre, prawn toast greasy & burnt, never had a spare rib that when bitten into sounded like eating a double crunch walker's crisp ( even the dog didn't take up on our offer of a so called treat!!!) Tasteless spring roll! Maybe a sweet & sour sauce acompliment ( which you'd have thought would have been thrown in with the price!) Would have helped but no, got one out of the kitchen cupboard instead! & now onto the Tasteless, watery special curry main?? Well that says it all! Hate to admit it but think the " golden flower" is unfortunately giving them a run for ther money!!! Anyone reading this, I would definitely recommend CHOPSTICKS in Romiley, we will definitely not go anywhere else!

Went here 7 years ago forgot to review he played his harmonica and its was great good food, would recommend.

Superb food, best Chinese food in the area

Excellent service and delicious food.

Have eaten here for years and been through most of the menu, they’re still yet to disappoint. Great atmosphere and Sunny makes it extra special.

Food is delicious when eaten in but not enough food and is abit pricey. Takeaway big portions and nice food. Sonny is helpful and friendly.

Sunny was the perfect host Waiting staff really good, food excellent, will definitely be back 😉😉

A Lovely time served waiter, I will start off with. Sadly & annoyingly their food poor./ lo standard. Nothing fresh looking, no stir fried crunchy veg in our dishes. Oh 3 squares of soggy green pepper. Not very hot. Small portion of rice pr person. The Prawn with ginger & spring onion dish tasted & looked very much like it was in an English chicken gravy granual mix. The best item was the 1 each ribs on our sharing platter for 2. The seaweed had a rancid oil 'impossible to eat' taste. Wine size was not offered or asked what size we would like. So £6+ for a large glass was whacked on the bill!!!! A shocking £75 bill & not itemized, for not very healthy, very over priced food that we talked about thoroughly with the OWNER politely, several times throughout the meal. Owner even warned us not to choose anything with cashews as they are deep fried 1st too.. What!!! No offer of a reduction or re-cooking, at all, despite our clear disappointment, just the comment.. "When you come back I make better for you". Really!!! &. take £75 off us!! I do not think so!! ) Almost equiv of 4 persons say at Jasmine in Chorlton) We can both cook, we both love our food, adore eating out & had been sooo looking forward to trying somewhere new & supporting local,after working sooo hard & not meeting up for soo long. We deserve, Everyone deserves far better than the food served here) Puzzled how a restaraunt can survive serving such poor quality food. Jasmine in Chorlton it will be next time, supa healthy, supa affordable, supa consistent..& several others we have in mind.. To say we were disappointed is being polite. I'm afraid. No photo is. Nothing was worthy of!! 😏

Lovely food and made to feel really welcome...definitely will return.

Fantastic service and food, the best we have had outside of London! Thanks Sunny, we’ll be back soon.

Really nice people food was prompt and absolutely amazing

Really excellent food, Thank you Sunny for a lovely evening for my Dad's birthday and making us all feel so welcome :)

Spot on every time ❤️ Best Chinese restaurant this side of China 😍

Always fresh and delicious, friendly service, reliable.

Excellent meal, friendly service, lots of anti-covid precautions.

Everything was absolutely spot on. Sunny was such a lovely member of staff and Evie was fantastic as well! The food is probably the best we have had so far. It was so light and tasty, it wasn't full of msg and it was so fresh, not to mention piping hot. We drove 30 minutes just to visit this Chinese and my gosh it was worth the drive! Very clean and covid safe as well. We will withouut a doubt return x

Very hospitable place with reasonably priced decent food.

Lovely friendly staff, very clean & pleasant surroundings. We had the set menu, very good value for money, and good portion sizes. The food was lovely. Will definitely be returning 😊

Excellent Chinese food. So tasty meal and really friendly service.

The best chinese restaurant. Sunny and Summer are so welcoming and friendly, since moving from Marple me and my boyfriend still travel 30 minutes to eat here as it is the best chinese. They never fail to dissapoint with the dishes on the menu. The restaurant is always clean, tidy and the tables nicely spaced out. 100% recommend.

Great delivery came very quick and was very pleased with the food and service. Would recommend to anyone!

Amazing food wouldn't go anywhere else

The Maple Tree is for me The best Chinese you will find outside of the city centre and dare I say it better than most in China Town. The food is exceptional, we have been many times, have tried many dishes all of which are superb. The owners Sunny and Summer are beyond hospitable and Nigel another asset to the team. It’s price point is higher but you get what you pay for, high quality fresh delicious food served with politeness. 10 out of 10!

Best I've been too anywhere in the UK. Really friendly and helpful team, great menu, great location, prices more than fare for the quality. Top marks in every area from us. DENNIS & Jane x

Lovely meal and staff very welcoming and friendly

Very good food and fantastic service.

Really nice family freindly restaraunt with great food and service, definitley will revisit!

Just moved to Marple and thought we give maple tree a shot with a takeaway. Honestly, what a lovely bunch of people, very bubbly and even made an effort with my 3 year old son. Food was amazing and has definitely become our go to Chinese. Next we’ll be booking a table to dine in, can’t wait!

Takeaway food is pricey but has the quality to match. Very friendly and quick service. Easily the best chinese in the Marple area.

Great food, highly recommended.

Tonight was our first visit to Maple Tree. What a lovely surprise. It was clear from other customers whilst waiting that the maple tree was a hit amongst local people . Many people commented on the quality of the food and it being their firm favourite having been ordering for years. To back up their comments, This was the nicest Chinese take away we have ever had. The duck starter was exceptional and the salt and pepper chicken delicious. We had a mixed Singapore vermicelli for our main with salt and pepper chips, which again was all faultless & enjoyed greatly. The owner was so welcoming , going out of his way to ensure his customers are happy, we will 100% be returning and look forward to trying more of your wonderful food. With thanks & blessings Gilly & Carl

Sunny and the team are fantastic. Food quality has never been anything other than perfection. Best Prawn Toast I've ever had.

The best Chinese around. Food is spot on. Great service too. Would highly recommend

The food was lovely but a wee bit too expensive compared to other places. The staff were lovely and informative. Though to have to find the menu online was a bit of a faff. What if you don't have phone with you etc? Very covid safe.

Chinese food as it should be; quality fresh food cooked well without the artificial taste you sometimes get elsewhere. They have a great range of options on the menu and the portion sizes are always great, big fan of the steamed dumplings myself. You're always greeted with warm welcome whether eating in or collecting a takeaway. Would recommend to anyone.

Excellent tasty fresh food and service. We have been going to the Maple Tree for years and have never had a negative experience, always brilliant!

Since lockdown they have hiked up the prices but got to say the food was ok. I just don't like being ripped off and won't be returning

Absolutely fantastic food. Spotlessly clean and the three staff members couldnt be more polite helpful and friendly. Definitely will be returning

Not covid friendly, lots of tables all crammed together. Really bad service, half an hour for drinks, over an hour for starters to arrive then a further wait for main meal. Average quality food.

Nice food, only complaint is that we got the set menu and prawn crackers were forgotten. Also did not get any hand wipes, as other tables did. Other thank that great, very friendly and attentive staff

Just finished an exelent meal all 7 dishes were very tasty despite a 20 minutes walk back to base still hot would recommend anyone to try

Great place, excellent staff and food,wonderful personal welcome from the owner
