Mr Chan's Restaurant in St. Helens

Absolutely amazing, we came here on a whim and honestly I wouldn't go anywhere else. The staff are incredibly lovely, welcoming and attentive. The food is beyond words, the Cantonese sliced duck is a must try! We will be back soon!

Two of us had a takeaway last Sunday evening. Beef Curry, and Fried Beef and Mushrooms ... both with chips. Have to say I was disappointed, we ate it as we desperately wanted it to be a great meal but the chips were dry (I think they were frozen?) and both meals were a bit insipid and the vegetables a little hard.... so sorry guys. The service was friendly and top notch which saved a lower number of stars score. I realise it's a restaurant first and foremost but I expected better after paying close to £30. Sorry guys x

On the bottom of North Road. It's been there for 25+ years. Worth a visit.

Noodles thin, not much chicken and no offer of desert. Not romantic as such was in the other side by toilets I think. Very helpful staff though and friendly.

Delicious food and great service. Really enjoyed our night out here.

Best Chinese restaurant in St helens. To eat in or take away very friendly staff efficient and love Charlie

Mr Chans is the best restaurant in town IMHO. I have been going there for years and have never been disappointed.

Came here for my works leaving doo.Food was very fresh and tasty! A lovely place to go for any kind of occasion. Got to meet the owner, what a guy!

Always a warm welcome usually by Mr Chan himself. The food and vibe here is fantastic.

Fantastic food as always..staff are great and friendly..we come here regular and dont know of a better place to eat.

Still an amazing Restaurant! We hadn't been for over 5 years and it's still the best Chinese around. All the staff are friendly and polite and the food is excellent.

can not fault this restaurant. every time we eat here the food is lovely, well priced, VERY fast and everyone is so friendly. Good vibe and good food- thankyou for many enjoyable evenings, we will be regulars x

Just been 'on spec'for early evening meal.As usual,staff were very accommodating and fitted us in.Service superb,as was the food.Never ever been disappointed at Charlie,s,highly recommend the restaurant.to anyone who enjoys quality food served by helpful staff in a very pleasant ambience

Don't know why I don't go here more often. Fabulous!!!

Family birthday meal and was well looked after, great food and excellent choice of gluten free food

First time at this chinese restaurant after reading reviews and word of mouth from people who have been. I can only say it was a lovely meal. We had the top banquet for 2. The staff were very friendly and helpful, allowing us time before the mains. Mr Chan came over to say it was nice to see us and check we were enjoying our meal as he did for all the other tables. We will definitely be going back in the future.

I never got bored waiting for my food cause there was a fish tank and when l got the food it was worth the wait

First time eating at Mr Chans a can honestly say really enjoyed the hospitality and service provided, food was lovely and the overall experience second to none will definitely be coming back.

Quite expensive for the quantities. Portions are really small for what you expect from a Chinese. Service was very good though

It is extraordinary and the best restaurant in this area. Despite the fact that for 2 years in England we were disappointed in restaurants, but we really liked this restaurant. A pleasant atmosphere, excellent service staff, an incredible owner who personally approaches each table and cares about the fact that everyone was comfortable and tasty. We travel often and have enough experience to give this establishment the highest rating. I recommend this cozy restaurant for a pleasant time spent with family and friends. I wish the owners, despite their no longer young age, good health, generous guests and further development in this difficult business of running a restaurant business.

My son in law booked us in late on Friday. ( Daryl Brush 😅)The owner sorted us two additional places. Big thanks to the owner and his staff.

Not been for far to long defo well worth a visit

Good quality food but not the best I have had. Lovely staff. We had a banquet for three and you only got two meals between three people when on others you had a meal each as well as mixed vegetables. Before ordering I asked were the 2 meals bigger portions as you got fewer and was told they were. Unfortunately they were not. Also, we asked for more rice as we were hungry and got charged for it. As we were paying for their top banquet at a cost of £33.50 each I would have expected that to be included. The walls could also do with a paint.

So a group of 4. Attended for my other half birthday with friends and was warmly greated at the door and shown to our table. Pre-booked. Service was prompt and drinks were served. Menu was very straightforward and didn't take us two long to decide we wanted a banquet for 4. Food was beautiful and atmosphere of the restaurant felt high class. Staff were friendly and pleasant and checked in on us regularly. All four loved the food and drinks and left happy. Some of the 4 a little too drunk after two bottles of wine. The facilities was automated which again felt posh and restaurant was very clean. Park was simple I would absolutely recommend this restaurant and would eat here again maybe less wine. I thank the staff for being so patient with us and apologies for some being a little too loud haha. This restaurant exceeded our expectations and I will absolutely recommend to friends and family in the area

What a hidden gem .The service was amazing so understanding nothing too much trouble.Taken to out table after a really warm welcome .Drinks served straight away gave us more time to order and more than happy to cater to our requirements.Food was excellent just what we ordered and arrived in perfect time .Staff were so friendly and professional,did not think service like this existed .Staff were very knowledgeable about dishes and recommendations based on what you need .

As always great food and service

Once again this little gem of a resteraunt never fails ...friendly polite staff...food amazing ...gluten free menu for me ...makes me feel normal and safe knowing i not gonna be ill tomorrow ...thank you all so much ...well worth the 3 mins drive

Had a perfect evening last night with a group of friends celebrating a couple of birthdays. The food was delicious, the staff are lovely and Mr Chan kindly bought the birthday girls a drink. Would highly recommend!

Absolute fabulous food and the service was fantastic

Little disappointed with our experience last time. Some petty jabs being made by staff. Food was being rushed out also and under normal size portions. If you are celebrating a birthday with cake, make sure you are specific on how you want the candles to be displayed. It was for 10th. Cake came out saying 1 and only 6 candles out of the pack of 20 were used. Wasn't the best showing, but in pure banter fashion joked about it and laughed it off. Just set your expectations. However, Mr Chan friendly as always and loads of other guests enjoying themselves too.

Amazing meal. We ordered 8 dishes to share between 2. 5 starters, one main, 2 sides. The waitress sorted the order to arrive in 3 stages (3,2,3). Eveything went together perfectly, it all tasted amazing. Cant wait to go back! Too greedy and in the moment to take pictures

Lovely food, nice helpful staff, very clean

What can I say? The food was amazing, really nice. The service was excellent , topped off with a few cheeky drinks in the whisky bar attached to the restaurant. This bar was great for a nightcap, very friendly staff with a fantastic atmosphere 5 star's.

Excellent service. Full Gluten free menu. Would recommend to anyone.

A lovely restaurant run by a nice friendly team, great food. I can recommend Banquet D.

As always Mr Chans delivers! Fantastic food, service, atmosphere. Very homely restaurant. 10/10

Celebrated my 60th birthday last night what a fab place this is food was perfect staff so accommodating and Mr chan as usual perfect host thank you once again

The food here is outstanding. The service here is outstanding. The staff are friendly, helpful and more than happy to ensure everyone in your group has a great experience if it's eat in or takeaway.

Excellent food reasonably priced. Couldn't fault it

Just had an amazing meal served by friendly happy staff

Good food friendly staff very welcoming

We had a real good time nice welcoming atmosphere good service good food

We love this restaurant and we are always made welcome. Staff are amazing. Food is fantastic. What more coukd you ask for?

Always a lovely meal here Been a while since we last visited and if possible it's improved even more so Can highly recommend the salt and pepper squid 😋

Loved our visit and meal last night .. Friday 27th Oct. Staff really friendly and food was fabulous We will be back. 5 stars 🌟

Lovely food, great service, Charlie Chan made us very welcome

Food was really lovely and tasty. Only thing for me and its not just this restaurant is the cost of 4 small glasses of coke poured from a 2 litre supermarket bottle, Which cost £11. That is some mark up on cost.

Always a lovely experience. Great food and atmosphere.

Looking for a nice restaurant during a solo business trip I stumbled upon this place, and I was very happy I did :-) Best Chinese I had in a very long time, the spices on the salt and pepper tofu were just incredible. The owner noticed I was sitting alone (with a book) and came to have a nice chat with me. I can definitely recommend this place, for the food as well as for the friendly service.

We we're over from Dublin to celebrate my sister and brother in law 60th wedding anniversary. They are regulars there. On the night there was 26 adults and 4 little ones. The servers were efficient, polite and friendly. The menu had an excellent variety of dishes and the price point is very fair. Overall it was a fantastic night, our food was served on hot plates and everything was delicious. Look forward to going there again when we're next in St.Helens.

First time at this restaurant we will be back

Bit tired decor but still best chinese food In st helens with the lovely always friendly Mr chan and his staff....food cooked to perfection 🥰

Been going for years (and years). Consistently great food and service, never a bad meal. Never. Charlie makes you feel like you're at home. The nicest bloke you will meet.

First time Definitely come again

The most delicious Chinese food, and owned by one of the most lovely, genuine guys around. Its an absolute pleasure to eat here. Honestly cannot recommend it enough.

Knowing what food you love, and where to find it, always takes us to Chan's, in North Road. Sounds boring, and predictable, but the quality never wavers!

Our first time eating here, but we really enjoyed it. The vegetarian food we chose was delicious, subtlety flavoured with various spices - a real treat. Charlie took time out to answer our questions and chat, which we appreciated.

Friendly Staff with excellent service, and delicious food in a welcoming environment. What more need I say

Good food and Charlie is a great host.

Absolutely without doubt the best Chinese in St Helens, the North West and probably the country. If you want a good meal and a cracking pint head down here

Food not good at all, would not go again.

Fantastic food mr chan and staff are brilliant 👏

One of, if not the long-established serving restaurants in St Helens. Still after decades Mr Chan provides wonderful fresh food and a personal service as though its his first day, with the same enthusiasm and attention to detail he's always had. A St Helens restaurant to be proud of.

You likely know, but they don't deliver, but it was highly recommended... So travelled up there to collect an order - we actually questioned the amount of food that was placed in front of us, but the guy who brought them out assured us that this was everything - couple of big, tied up bags in hand, headed home - we had guests/family over from the States We live near Whiston Hospital, Mr Chan's is in St Helens... Sadly, half the food was missing, really... Little bit stunned to be honest - so much missing we couldn't even start eating Called them and they of course rectified, 45 mins or so later they delivered the missing food - so the initial food had chilled down considerably (we did cover it etc to retain heat) I'll personally not bother again, but the food was nice when we eventually received it and the atmosphere within Mr Chan's Restaurant seemed cosy

Great place to eat great food service excellent

Had a pleasant family meal here for my birthday. Looked to be a good choice of menu

The food is fantastic, the service is totally with a genuine smile + banter is great would give more stars if I could

Been before and going again tonight for a meal then of to local village for a drink

My Girlfriend has a allergy and they catered perfectly for us.

We only had a takeaway but it was delicious and still hot when we got home. Love this place, the food and the staff. Brilliant.

Delicious food at good prices and staff are always welcoming and pleasant. We always look forward to having food here.

Food was poor, chicken tasted bleached, rubbery and stringy. Wine was £9.50 a glass. Service was good but the restaurant was dated, flooring was unlevel at points in the room and the walls were dirty. Complained about the chicken and although it was removed off the bill I was quizzed whilst still eating about why I didnt like it and pressured to feel like I was being difficult

First time visit, and well worth it. Staff lovely and even Mr.Chan paid us a welcome visit :-)

Lovely place and the staff so helpful and polite would definitely recommend this restaurant

Thank you so much myself and my family had a beautiful meal on Sunday night I will be coming back for another meal with my family again thank you again x

Wonderful restaurant selling Chinese food. The room is well set out and spacious. The service was excellent and everyone so friendly especially Charlie who spent some time chatting with us. The food was really delicious. It’s worth going to St Helens to eat here. Well done Mr Chan.

Lovely food, had a mixed sharing starter.and every single bit was delicious. Staff very attentive, no waiting for drinks etc . Definately be back and everyone of my party of 5 thought the same.x

A trip out with the in-laws, to celebrate my wife's birthday. It was my first time at Mr. Chan's restaurant, but my wife (a native of St.Helens) has been many times before, and recommended it. Her good review was upheld. From the moment we walked through the door, and were warmly welcomed, to the point of our departure, there was absolutely nothing to complain about. The service was quick, but without feeling like you were being rushed. The staff dropped by regularly, to ensure we were all happy, or to ask if there was anything we needed. And the food was absolutely delicious! I would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes good Chinese food.

One of the best Chinese restaurants I ve been in

Great evening staff and food both excellent

We love it here , fantastic food and staff x

Lovely food, really friendly & helpful staff! Atmosphere nice cos it's a busy restaurant! Would recommend & go again! 😊

Always a good meal at Mr Chan's. Have been dining there for years. Nice little inside bar now away from food area if you just want a drink. Always very friendly. Good to dine there for any celebrations you have.

Great food/service as always. Excellent choice of gluten free meals.

Been a few times now the food is very nice staff are great at there jobs very good on price

We bloody love it here. Best Chinese restaurant in all of Merseyside. Loads of options for vegetarians. Veggie spring rolls and the salt and pepper tofu is amazing (that’s what’s in the pictures). Plenty for meat lovers too incredible chicken stir fry dishes. You get the 5 star customer service here too the staff are so friendly and helpful. It’s really cheap as well. I love it that much anyone who comes to visit this is where we take them and everyone has loved it.

Always a very enjoyable experience.

Very friendly and professional just waiting for me when I got there very pleased with the service recommended to friend and family if you there give it a try

Lovely meal very welcoming , we both enjoyed it. Recommend

I've been to Mr Chans twice in the last 3 months, and I've never been disappointed. The staff are great, the food is amazing and the service is second to none. Whilst there, the owner introduced himself to us and all his other customers. I thought this was a nice touch. Would 100% recommend this restaurant

Beautiful meal, nothing was to much trouble, Mr, Chan is very entertaining and takes time to explain dishes for you, thank you 😊

An exceptional meal at a reasonable price, with an excellent atmosphere. No surprise, we have had countless good experiences of Mr Chans, and intent on having many more.

Gluten free options excellent and the owner/manager was very knowledgeable about this subject, which was great because a lot of restaurants claim to be 'gluten free' but don't actually have a clue. All other food was also very nice. Staff all excellent, friendly and attentive. My only criticism, which isn't a massive issue but the restaurant itself is a bit dated and could do with a fresh look. However, will be returning.

First time tonight . We needed a gluten free menu . Omg it was absolutely amazing 👏 10/10 plus the service was 10/10 could not fault it at all👏👏👏👏

Took my daughter here for a meal this evening. Food was excellent and great value too. A wide choice on the menu, my daughter had the salt and pepper chicken which was great and had a real kick. Attentive and swift service. Will definitely return

Best Chinese Food around. Ambiance and staff excellent.

Fantastic experience as always. Made to feel very welcome by Charlie and all the staff. Thoroughly recommended. Update : It has been far too long since I last visited the restaurant and it has only got better ( if that is possible ). Visited on 12/11/2022 with my daughter for her 18th birthday. As always, we received a fantastic reception from Charlie and his staff. Excellent food, great service and a fantastic atmosphere. I cannot recommend Mr Chans enough. Thankyou for a lovely evening.

We walked in at exactly 5pm, Mr Chan literally popped up from behind the counter, which made us chuckle. All the staff were welcoming and helpful. Food was lovely. Everywhere was clean and tidy.

This place never changes. It always wonderful service with such friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. The food is constantly amazing. I'll never stop going here.

Great for the price, happily visit again
