  “Went for a late lunch on Friday. Cafe was spotless I did have some anxiety regarding hygiene rating from the council a while back but I found no issues the place was immaculate and no cafe smells at all no greasy surfaces. Each table has a big roll of tissue to wipe your hands etc 10/10 for cleanliness. I ordered the chopsuey see photos looked and tasted amazing. Chips were frozen chips I would have preferred home made but they weren't too bad anyway. Service and friendliness of the staff was great had a bit of banter and a big smiley San served me at my table in person which was a lovely touch. I didn't have a problem parking right outside. I thought the prices were a little expensive but when I got my meal it was huge portion and ingredients were plentiful and tasty and you get what you pay for overall good value. Lived the exterior paint work and great vibe to the place well worth a visit”

  “Not bad at all. Good simple Chinese fare in what’s essentially a greasy spoon cafe that’s seen better days. Not great value for money but that’s symbolic of the times we live in. Not somewhere you’d go on a date either! But it’s not a bad choice at all and yeah probably deserves the hidden gem tag.”

  “Good selection of food. We had a full breakfast each which includes 2x toast and tea or coffee for £12. We also bought the famous chop suey roll each. The café is quiet enough to chat. The owner was such a lovely lady and talked to us about the café and how long she's kept it up. We will be returning for evening food.”

  “This is really a UK standard chinese food, would not recommend. Am surprised with the good reviews here honestly. Price is not cheap too”

  “Our second visit today (we're not local so don't get to visit much, the last time we did was a few years ago) and everything was fantastic. Chow mein full of veg and really tasty beef, nice thin noodles which weren't overcooked at all. The Wor Tip are to die for, absolutely fantastic dumplings and I've had A LOT of dumplings in my time. The crispy bottoms just make them and the filling is so tasty and juicy. Salt & pepper chicken was more like chicken balls stir fried with onions and peppers. It could have done with a bit more salt & pepper seasoning in my opinion, but it was still incredibly good. The batter was really crispy and tasty, not stodgy at all, and the chicken was absolutely perfect, really tender and flavourful. It actually went really well with the Malaysian chilli sauce they have. If you've not been yet you're definitely going to love it. There's also a wide selection of cafe style English dishes/sarnies etc. The people that run it are also really friendly, they'll come out of their way to come and have a chat with you. If it's good enough for the hairy bikers, it's good enough for me! 🤤”

  “Fantastic Chinese food, I would say it was the best I’ve ever had. The person who owns this place was lovely, genuine and she cares for her customers/food service. Very attentive. I’d definitely come here again. Bonus, there’s no nut dishes, which my partner has a nut allergy, so it was nice that they don’t service it.”

  “As a description, cafe doesnt do this iconic Liverpool eaterie justice, though there are staples such as burgers etc, its the home made Chinese food that takes top spot, hey, it's not the Ritz, but it doesn't pretend to be, it offers supremely well cooked food including exceptional home made items such as spring rolls etc, done perfectly. Lovely owners, great food, whats not to like !”

  “Visited this café recently as we saw some banging reviews. for a meal of special fried rice, chicken mushroom with chips with a side of War Tips, priced at £27. It's a colourful place, with not much parking, The atmosphere lacked warmth, with minimal interaction from the staff. We arrived feeling unwelcome, thinking they were closing, but though it turned out they were still open for another hour and a half. The menu is basic, a typical café menu for the local workmen in overalls, it's nothing you wouldn't see in your local chippy, probably less. If you like a lot of MSG or salt, hot and nicely cooked 'cafe' dinner, small portions then this is the place to come.”
