Mayflower Chinese Takeaway in Stockport

Has to be the best Chinese takeaway I have ever used. Food is far superior to most restaurants .

Great food fast delivery every time. Used for a few years now..

Consistently good food, the whole family enjoys it!

Great selection of chinese food. Only take cash.

Everything was perfect about the food thank you

Has the Mayflower changed hands? Not been for ages, but nothing we ordered was how it used to be. Ribs came with sauce separately so not properly 'sticky', lemon chicken was not lemony and sharp, just bland with a bit of uncooked lemon plonked on top, seaweed in big lumps and not crispy. The food here used to be delicious.

Always delicious! The only Chinese takeaway we go to.

So disappointed, we have been going to the Mayflower for years, and the food was always great. I assume it's changed owners because the food we ordered last night was revolting. It wasn't edible, we threw the whole takeaway in the bin. Feel like I've been ripped off.

Well I’ve eaten here loads and tonight’s meal wasn’t very nice my mums sweet and sour chicken had the smallest bits of chicken in it and one piece of pineapple and one pepper, mine was like eating vinegar it wasn’t very nice, I’m afraid after using this Chinese for four years I’m going to have to look for a better one as tonight’s tea was horrible.

Absolutely rubbish. This chinese takeaway used to be the best in Stockport but not since new owners. Have been going for over 20 years. Never again.

Absolutely beautiful meal. Would highly recommend

Always great food from here. Quick as well.

To say we are disappointed would be a tremendous understatement. Have been going to this restaurant for YEARS, and always had a fabulous meal. Not sure what has happened but our takeaway tonight was barely edible. The salt and pepper chips were soggy and tasted like microwave chips. The fried rice was bland and tasteless. We asked for chicken fried rice, but what was received had an abundance of other meats I couldn't christen and prawns- maybe it was a special fried rice? Anyhow it wasn't what we'd ordered and it looked like a dogs dinner quite honestly..completely unappetising. The lemon chicken used to be lovely- nice pieces of chicken sliced. Tonight there was so much deep fried batter that it was difficult to cut through and not much chicken in there and uneven pieces all stuck together. New chef maybe? Anyhow won't be going back..it's such a shame because it WAS by far the best in the area.

Been eating from the mayflower for many years but stopped due to the food just not being the same then thought we would give it a try this evening after all this time of not going but unfortunately it just is not the same the food was always lovely from mayflower but its not anymore the food is very bland and what has happened to the chips they youse to be lovely and they really are awful 🤢brown in colour and taste like warm up chips that have been cooked several times and not seasoned with salt and the bbq ribs are so dry and tough to eat extremely disappointed considering the price hike of the food looks like we definitely will not be back again which after many years is extremely disappointing not sure if it's changed hands now as don't recognise any staff now and the food is just not what it was such a shame.

Just turned up and ordered a takeaway from here as my local Chinese was shut first time coming here and I was so impressed quick service friendly staff reasonably priced and the food was amazing one of the best chineses I’ve had for a long time been recommending it but they don’t deliver that’s the only downside

Absolutely the best Chinese takeaway in Stockport.

lovely Chinese, I come here mostly everyday, if ya gonna get a chinese i reckon this place will sort u out nice.

Worse Chinese takeaway ever and i will never ever eat another one, chips were cooked about 3 times HARD rice was OK sweet and sour chicken was way too sweet and duck was very fatty not nice, 18.20 pounds down the drain. Horrible is the best way to explain. Horrible.

Fillet steak tasted ok but the rest was poor. Shu Mai tasted off, chips were poor. 1st and last visit.

Best by far for great tasting curry

Fresh and really good dishes. Crispy chicken ball and salt and pepper ribs amazing!

Stopped off on my way through really friendly staff. It was a great reception, and I helped choose something from the menu that was perfect for me. I'm really glad I stopped here. I would definitely recommend it. Also, the service was really quick and looked very clean. I know my pictures aren't the best bit I am eating in my car 🙃 had the veggie chicken protein option with bean curd, and black bean sauce. Also very easy to park amd eat outside.

Great food and easy parking, if not straight outside then go down side road with the garages which are shut in evenings. Best salt and pepper ribs that I've found locally, haven't tried other dishes yet but will do. Recommended

We have been using the Mayflower since the 90s it's had its ups and down but on the whole it's spot on 👌🏼

Best chinese takeaway in Stockport

Excellent. Food very good,nice place

The best Chinese I've found so far! Food is always delicious and the staff are nice and helpful! Prices aren't bad although a bit more expensive than other Chinese takeaways in the area, however as said, the food here is brilliant.

By far the worst Chinese hands down. I wouldn’t even give this a homeless man

Service with a smile food excellent as usual 😀 we have always gone here food is consistent and always fresh supper 🍽

It's always delicious food from the Mayflower. And very pleasant people work there!

Without doubt the best Chinese food available, friendly staff who go the extra mile to ensure the best food for your meal

Delicious food and super friendly service. The prawn toast was some of the best I’ve ever tasted. Thank you to Sunny and the team for a lovely evening.

Worst ever Singapore vermicelli. Dry with bits of unidentifiable meats. Chips reheated many times and curry sauce a gelatinous gloop. Never again.

The quality is quite poor! Ribs with no meat on them

I used to frequent this takeaway from approx 1995-2000 during my school and college years. The fried rice was delicious, as were most of the other dishes. After revisiting recently the quality is not as good as it used to be, sadly, and the place looks exactly the same (tired, worn out). Still, the food was decent, but the prices are high.

One of the best Chinese takeaways around. Lovely food, quick and very reasonable prices. Lovely staff and brilliant service too, thank you

The best Chinese takeaway in Stockport by far 👍

Food is nice but we get a different price every time we order and we order the exact same thing every time. Asked for a menu so we can see prices and they don't have one 🙃

Salt and pepper chips were really poor. Must only be a one-off though 🤷🏼‍♂️

Very nice salt and pepper ribs and deep fried crispy beef and rice 😋

Staff were lovely and friendly, they even had fancy brand name tissues when I asked for a tissue. Food was nice too. They offer a gluten free version of some things, I had GF sweet and sour chicken. It was lovely.

I have been using this take away Chinese for 8 years I have always received good quality food when I have ordered, I'd definitely recommend it.

Tried this again after a not soo great experience the first time round. Chicken fried rice was good. Salt and pepper chicken and salt and pepper chips weren't not that great. Had a awful stomach ache after it.

Cant believe in this day and age this place doesn't take card payments, I had to go to newsagents on the corner and draw cash which cost me 1.50. The food was ok, had better. Wont be using this place again.

The best Chinese in Stockport. The hot and sour soup is amazing.

Food and service great, will be going back soon

Lovely Chineese food to takeaway worth the trip to collect.

Very clean, pleasent staff and good food

Lovrly food , pain having to keep having to go the cashbmacjine , easier if they took card payment , does put mevof ordering to be honest .

First time here and can honestly say we will be back. We ordered prawn toast and fried squid as starters followed by special chicken, broccoli and oyster sauce and soft noodles and beansprouts. Delicious

Amazing food great service best Chinese in stockport

I found this gem of a place many years ago and can honestly say I have never been anywhere else since. The staff are super friendly and we have never had a bad meal. Keep doing what your doing, I will see you again very soon xx

Great service, great food and short wait times even when it's busy.

Such a fantastic takeaway and for such brilliant value! Undercuts other takeaways in the area/on food apps and delivers to a high standard. Literally can’t rate this place enough. Particularly as a vegetarian I was really impressed - vegetarian chicken dishes (sweet and sour & chilli garlic) are so delicious. And all the classic sides are top too. Staff are friendly also! Would recommend 100%

Rice and chicken is really good from here decent chips aswell

Great food. Been visiting for over 20 years

Tried it for the first time last night, its always busy when you drive past. Best Chinese i've had! Will definitely be going back and would highly recommend.

Best chinese we've ever had, proper chinese food, always fresh and hot, friendly staff too :)

We haven’t used the Mayflower for years mainly because of laziness it’s easy to get food delivered and they are collection only. During the lockdown however all our local takeaways closed up but a friend said that Mayflower was still up and running so we have started using it every week. It’s easy to see why it’s so popular you won’t find a better Chinese in Stockport. For starters I would recommend the curry samosa and my favourite dishes are the crispy chilli beef and the red thai curry I enjoy the strong tasty sauces. On a weekend there is always a lot of people waiting outside for their meals..this can only mean a good thing.. people are prepared to wait for delicious food, keep up the good work Mayflower..!

Been a regular since lockdown - so grateful that they have been open and working through it. The staff are really friendly. Food is delicious and ready on time. Its definitely our new go-to

Thank you Mayflower for getting me through the lockdown. I only discovered this gem due to my local Chinese takeaways being closed and for a while you where the only place open am very glad to have found you. A bit out of my way but the food is delicious definitely the best Chinese around so it’s worth the travel and the staff are always very nice and friendly.

Preordered a few meals. In view of present Covid distancing, we were given a time 40 minutes later to collect. My son arrived to find he was in a long queue on the road outside. He booked in at the table at the door. He went up and asked 3 times about the food in a wait of FIFTY MINUTES outside. There were lots of people getting served before him , who arrived after him, and a few angry people. Any Chinese dish takes minutes to prepare, and when you are given a time to collect, it should be ready for that time. This has always been a fault of the Mayflower, pre Covid- you always have to wait as they don’t cook it till you arrive- negating the advance phone order - but waiting in the cold on a road outside is ridiculous ! To make matters worse, the food was cold and we had to reheat in the microwave, praying we didn’t end up with upset stomachs . Eating it almost two hours from ordering meant a very late meal, and it will not be repeated. Sorry a Mayflower. This was the straw that broke the camels back

Had special chow mein (mixed meats and prawns) bbq spare ribs and veg spring rolls tonight. 5 star quality and prices too. Been coming to this Chinese with my dad for about 30 years + keep doing what you always have. Lovely food thoroughly enjoyed my tea 😊😋

Best Chinese in Stockport, always busy for a reason ,top quality food

We have been using Mayflower for years, food is always fresh, high quality and a reasonable price, never had a bad meal, we always highly recommend

Ordered for 6 adults a mix of typical Chinese meals with plenty of choice - we ordered a duck to start - this was the only thing that was any good. Oh and maybe the rice 😂! In summary the chow mein was inedible , the chicken and black bean and sweet and sour were congealed, the shredded beef was rock hard. The meat did not taste freshly cooked in any dish. I could go on and bore you as much as the meal bored me but all of the food was pretty bad. I’m not the type to complain so no I didn’t ring them back, we threw most of it away, but I was embarrassed our guests went home hungry and it was complete waste of money.

Food quality is good. Reasonable price

Best Chinese take away I’ve had in a while! Great customer service too!

Best Chinese for miles! Love this place and so happy it's only round the corner. Lovely staff and amazing food. Can not fault it.

Consistently excellent food presented well with environmentally friendly packaging. Highly recommended.

Food absolutely perfect and service to match

I am coeliac and over the last one and a half years have trusted this location as a Gluten Free capable venue. I should be giving them five stars here but just discovered how wrong things can get. I popped in for my usual, got home and tucked in and realised there was something wrong. I phoned up to check and they insisted I'd said vegetarian chicken - which isn't gluten free - they eventually offered to cook up a fresh one. But to add insult to injury they didn't give a replacement rice to go with it. I would recommend this take-away to people, and I will go back, as everyone deserves a second chance and everyone can have a bad day, but good customer service is never based on how well your day is or isn't going, and this aside, the food is generally as good as the five star reviews on here say.

The food is outstanding best quality take away in Stockport. But they won't take debit card payment, it's 2019 and they should really. I don't like to have to faff around getting cash out when it's already a packed shop as well.

Great service, nice friendly staff and good quality food

OVEN CHIPS!!!! Are you for real. Will avoid this shambolic establishment like the plague. Overpriced frozen fried muck

£11.50 for the most bland chicken chowmein salt and pepper ribs from a couple days ago by the taste. when i called they told me that there are bean sprouts and chicken in there. never again good luck.

First time using this take away. Friendly staff, quick service and good food. Also parking outside, which is helpful.

The best Chinese takeaway in the area. The food is nice and not greasy.

Such good food! So nice and polite aswell.

The best in the area. Also spotlessly clean.

First time I have been in a while. Ordered Salt and Pepper ribs followed by Steak in Ginger and Spring Onion with Chips. Was told whilst waiting that place had changed hands....... After having what I could of the meal I can only say that the standards have dropped !!! Both the Ribs and the Chips were most definitely not fresh!!! Clearly old re-warmed up food. The steak was also very chewy. Overall a poor meal and I think two stars is being very generous. .....not impressed!!

Excellent food and always very friendly and helpful.

Excellent food with an extensive menu and friendly staff. The meal deals are especially good, the soup and starters are excellent.

Great food, quick service, cash only

The best salt and pepper ribs in the world.

Have been coming here for over 10 years - reliably good quality.

Messed our order up after confirming the details back to me over the phone. Hard work to place an order for anything that requires any changes. Didn't know the vegetables that go in to meals then gave us a vegetarian meal that was just broccoli. Gave them a second chance as the flavours we're good, faced same issues again trying to order over the phone so won't be going again.

Make sure u order ur food at least 24 hours in advance because if ur lucky thats the shortest time u will have to wait in the place to recieve it.... Why give a time of when food will be ready wen it obviously wont be......was told 30mins and it was well after an hour till i got it...rubbish service....

Good quality fresh ingredients, freshly cooked, tasty and normal sized portions.

Best chinese food in stockport, and that includes the restaurants too, and this is a takeaway. Order early as it gets very busy. They dont take credit cards or deliver and its certainly not the cheapest, but the food is great. I always check a takeaway by getting a 'standard' well known dish and their sweet and sour is the best and as good as in Manchester china town. You wont get better in Stockport, its simply not worth going anywhere else.

Tasteless black bean sauce, very small portion will not return 👎

Ordered a few starters and 3 meals. One meal was wrong and one was missing. Food wasn't bad but wasn't great once we eventually sat down to eat it after having to go back to get the missing meal. Will not be going back.

Delicious Chinese food. Only take away. Broad menu. Can call to order and collect.

Good food, food quality, but never ready on time. No card payment

Had a meal from here two weeks ago & it was really good. Freshly cooked to order, really hot, even after driving over a mile home & dishing up. Not greasy at all. Great curry, crispy chips & well cooked fried rice. Can't understand how people can give this place a poor review.

Had a recent takeaway, found very disappointing though very busy. Thai green chicken curry with veg, lovely sauce but the veg was merely large slices of onions! Spares ribs heavily coated with batter to disguise very little meat, mainly fat, chicken chow mien greasy and tasteless , even the egg fried rice was poor let down. Will not be going back and will in future be very sceptical about good ?posted reviews!!

Brilliant food, took her time out to give us a last minute delivery. Highly recommended Chinese.

Not as nice now it's been taken over last2 were awful

The very best in the whole of Stockport

Amazing food! Blackbean sauce incredible, salt and pepper chicken pieces too! Best Chinese around
