The best restaurants in Netherpool Cheshire West and Chester North West

What can I say. Hands down best Seabass I have ever had. Beautiful traditional Thai food. Surroundings very good and presentation and service 10/10. Cannot believe we have not been to this hidden gem before. Goes without say we will definitely be back.

I had a delightful dining experience at The Charming Thai in Ellesmere Port (Rivacre Road, Ellesmere Port). The restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for a relaxed dining experience. The decor is simple yet charming, giving the place a pleasant, laid-back feel. For starters, I had the Dragon Eggs (£4.75), spring rolls (£4.75), and Thai fish cakes (Tod Mun Pla) (£6.50). The Dragon Eggs were a standout—crispy tofu pockets stuffed with potatoes, garden peas, sweetcorn, and seasoned vegetables, served with a tamarind roasted peanut sauce. The tofu pockets had a satisfying crunch, and the filling was deliciously light and flavourful, with the tamarind peanut sauce adding a rich and tangy depth. The spring rolls were homemade, wrapped in rice paper and deep-fried to a perfect golden crisp. Filled with vermicelli, shredded cabbage, ginger, onions, and carrots, they were fresh, light, and full of flavour, served with a sweet chilli sauce that complemented them wonderfully. The Thai fish cakes were very popular—lightly spiced, deep-fried, and served with a sweet chilli sauce. They were crispy on the outside with a tender, well-seasoned fish filling inside, and the sweet chilli sauce added the perfect balance of sweetness and heat. For the main course, I opted for the classic Pad Thai (£11.95), which was delicious. The noodles were well-cooked, and the balance of sweet, salty, and tangy flavours was spot on. The portion was generous, and the peanuts added a lovely crunch. My dining partner chose the Slow-Cooked Beef Mas-Sa-Man (£12.95), a mild-spiced southern Thai curry with coconut milk, onions, potatoes, and peanuts, garnished with fried shallots. The curry was rich and comforting with tender beef and a wonderful blend of coconut milk and spices. The mild heat was perfectly balanced, and the peanuts added a nice texture to the dish. Service was friendly and efficient, and the food arrived quickly, despite the restaurant being busy. Prices were reasonable, especially for the quality of food and portion sizes. If you’re in Ellesmere Port and craving authentic Thai food in a relaxed setting, The Charming Thai is definitely worth a visit. I look forward to returning to try more of their menu!

Ryhan was very welcoming, polite and the staff were full of positive vibes. The atmosphere in the kitchen is lit and their spirits put you in a good mood. I had King Prawn and Rice and I ate like a King. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who visits Chester, please come down and let the flavours take you to Undaal. Recommended by Kamal NSN.

Was lovely and arrived earlier than expected but i didnt recieve my mushroom bhaji and got something else instead and it was lovely whatever it was!x

Paid for food, tried to add extra, was then asked to pay full total of food, argued with man that it had already been paid and only wanted to add the extra food on which i was about to pay...called us liars infront of our young daughter, banned us from shop, told us to never return again. Asked him countless times to check his cameras and we are willing to forgive him for his simple, honest mistake...he denied everything and goaded us to ring the police. Disgraceful customer services and will now lose plenty of custom due to his deceit and lies...

Just had a lovely kebab and a great pizza 🍕
