The best restaurants serving Chinese food in North West

Lately I’ve been here for some dim sum, arrived at 1pm on a Monday. It was quite busy and full of locals. Overall the food was great and definitely would love to come back! My favourite is the fried squid tentacles, the cheung fun could have been better. However I’m a little disappointed that they forgot about the durian crisp order :(

Up to its usual amazing standards! We came here for a few years every time we travelled from Manchester airport and were worried it had permanently closed. We were delighted to see that it was open again so we visited whilst staying at the crown plaza. The food and service were fantastic. Bel and Edward were particularly friendly and really looked after us. We can’t wait to come back! We had the dim sum dishes, sweet and sour chicken which was the best I’ve ever tasted and my hubby had the duck which he said was unreal.

Me and my family come here often for special occasions and they never disappoint food is amazing and the staff are brilliant even keeping my sisters twins occupied

Stopped for a last minute dinner and they happened to sell GF alternatives which is a bonus. Ordered for 4 people which was plenty with drinks and came to £60. Food good but not what we expected but overall worth the money and we all ate it. Wasn't terrible at all but not the best either as we're used to more commercialised dishes.

Unusual to find a Chinese restaurant with this quality outside a big city. The owner worked in one of the best Chinese in Manchester which explains why it is so good.

Fabulous restaurant, excellent friendly and helpful staff and wonderful food. Wish I had discovered this restaurant years ago. Will definitely return!

Have had numerous meals here over past years, and have never been disappointed.

Please try. Food exceptional. Mike, julie and staff welcome you with open arms. Lovely couple lovely food. We always have great night there

We had takeaway banquet on here this evening. Chicken and sweetcorn soup - ok Spare Ribs - not very good Sweet and Sour Chicken - not very nice Chicken Curry - awful, strange aftertaste Fried Rice - inedible Won’t be going back

I visited this restaurant in early December with my friend, were were after a relaxing few hours and a great restaurant experience not had chinese for a while. When we entered the restaurant we noticed how cold the temperature was, it was only 6pm so we thought maybe but hadn't been open long. We ordered a beer each from the waitress and then very soon after was asked 3 times if we were Ready to order , a bit pressured we thought. Also the wine list had disappeared from the table and had to ask twice for it. We ordered our banquet and awaited our soup, this was tasteless, iv never had to add salt to chicken & Sweetcorn soup! Our red wine arrived and it was freezing cold! I mentioned this to the waitress and she said "well it's not been in the fridge". Our combination course of ribs, spring rolls and seaweed was really nice but the mains were not, tough pork balls and chewy chicken. Untill we asked for a break the meal was very rushed. We didn't enjoy the experience and won't be returning.

I love this Chinese restaurant .. Its a half hour drive from my home but we love coming here.. lovely food and lovely service 😊

5 of us dined and we all enjoyed the food, however the service was not quite up to scratch. When we arrived at 6.40, 5 mins early, the restaurant was very busy, however the waiting-on staff should have approached us earlier than the 30 minutes it took them. When they finally arrived, they took the drinks and food order together. 4 of us ordered a banquet and 1 a starter and mains. The drinks arrived quickly apart from the jug of water, which I had to request twice. The banquet starters arrived but the single starter didn't. It was finally served with the mains. The portions were just enough, no more, no less, so no waste. When you book a table you'll be asked to pay a deposit. I said on the night "I bet they don't deduct the deposit from the bill and sure enough I was correct. Nice atmosphere but the aforementioned service issues affected the size of the tip we left.

We decided to go for a Chinese as we headed home from Manchester. Water Lilly came up on google and we weren’t disappointed. We were greeted by friendly staff and were taken to our table without delay. The food was fantastic and reasonably priced. The three of us that went, including our 5 year old son, loved the food. Especially the char siu bao buns and variety of dim sum. Water Lilly ticked all of the boxes and we will be sure to return in the near future. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good Chinese restaurant in the Chorlton area.

Lovely host and food was fab, wish we lived closer so we could come again!
