The best restaurants serving Chinese food in North West

I have never left a review before but I feel compelled to since reading borderline ones. My husband and our two children came to the Sunday lunch buffet - £16.90 for adults and £10.90 for children. Upon entering the restaurant, I was happy to see traditional Chinese restaurant decor. Then I spotted the buffet. At first, my greedy eyes thought oh that looks quite small. How silly I was! On offer was hot chicken and sweet corn soup - seasoned well and great consistency. Prawn cracker are brought to your table. Then we assaulted the starters. What a great selection which is frequently replenished by the hard-working staff! On offer is prawn toast, veg spring rolls, salt and pepper wings, salt and pepper fish bites, chicken skewers, juicy ribs, ham egg foo young, crispy seaweed and duck pancakes you make up yourself. All of these tasty morsels were hot and fresh. Then on the mains you have egg fried rice, noodles and chips with dishes including sweet and sour chicken, chicken curry, beef green pepper, bbq char Sui pork, crispy chilli beef, mixed veg in oyster sauce (juicy mushrooms in this) and prawns in a light sauce. I tried most of these and was really happy with the flavour and hotness of each. Then there was the dessert table - jelly, fresh fruit and banana fritters! What a bonus! Overall, the attentive staff, great price and fresh food made this an absolute treat. Lovely for our kids to go and try multiple dishes and different flavours. They didn’t even want to go and not they’re asking to back! Well done Golden Bridge! We will be back and with more people!

Great chippy been going here since I was a kid now 52 food always excellent

Great food never had a problem been going here for well over 15 years portions are huge

This is authentic Chinese food. I think some of the mixed reviews are from brits expecting the typical ‘Chinese takeaway’ food. The food I had was excellent and the 2 waiters, a young man and young lady were very friendly and helpful.

My usual go to place. The munchy box is great and a big portion. 5 stars!

Great food as always and the service is always good. We always enjoy the food from here. Never had a bad experience. Fish here is to die for. Thanks guys. 👍

Best chinky I've had in a while and the size of the tubs you get hell fire I was taking it to work for days haha

Horrendous food I’m really sorry to say. Ordered three dishes, chicken satay main, chicken ginger and onion and chilli beef. Plus we had chicken chow mein. All three chicken dishes were indistinguishable (making it difficult to determine what was what given they weren’t labeled) and the chicken was melt in your mouth, unsure if it was cooked, rubbery, bland and very slippery. Everything was swimming in sauce, vegetables and noodles in chow mein were soft to the point they could have easily been mashed and generally the food was everything we didn’t expect. Tasteless soggy and made us four feel quite ill afterwards. Sadly most of it went in the bin. A real shame as I normally go for curry and thought Chinese would be a nice change.

This chippy is really below par these days. I've been going chans for over 30 years. When Alan was there it was always spot on. Uoto about a year after he left the standard was still good but not no more unfortunately. Can't even get chips and curry sauce right

So last time we were here we were very disappointed (see the write up below) . We thought we would give it one more go.m and we are so glad we did . The staff were extremely friendly. The service was spot on and the food was great . We will be back So we have changed it from a 2 star to 5 as we can’t fault it . Many thanks ( below is our original 2 start review ) review Absolutely gutted . We love going wonderland usually but today was a massive let down . Firstly we had to help ourselves to menus and find a seat , the Diet Coke tasted like cheap rola cola, The lad serving us gave us the opinion we were an inconvenience rather than a customer. The soup had very little flavour and the starters were brought to the table at the same time as the soup. So it was cold by the time you finished your soup. And soup dishes weren’t cleared away The duck was a chewy texture and when the mains came the egg fried rice was egg boiled rice definitely not fried and the sauces with the mains were all watery and not the usual consistency. I am hoping this is a blip and not going to be the norm. We missed May being there as she always made us feel welcome On the plus side the waiter who started as we were going was very friendly and polite

Very disappointed..very low quality service..front waiters are not friendly.shit service.

No water refills even though we asked multiple times

Four of us went for lunch at Tai Pan as it was in a convenient location for us while in Liverpool and we like Chinese food. I read mixed reviews here on Tripadvisor before visiting which was a little off putting, but please don't be, we had an excellent experience. We were given attentive service, the meal was served relatively quickly and the food was perfect! The menu was extensive with many items you would expect to see there and a great choice of dim sum. It was also reassuring to see how popular it was on a Wednesday lunchtime. I write as a Brit who has travelled the world for five decades and visited eleven cities in China. I would definitely recommend to friends. Xiexie Tai Pan!

Always piping hot, fresh and on time. Never had any complains

Went there as a group of 8 people. I would say it is a hidden gem on Oxford Road, Manchester. The food were very nice. The Prawn Tempura is the best I ever had. As you can see in the photos, the colour is light, dry and crispy. Other restaurant's Tempura are dark, soggy and greasy. The other one you must try is the Braised Beef Rendang. OMG the beef is so soft and tender. Once eaten you will never forgets about it. Trust me.
