About Chung Ku
Chung Ku is a Chinese restaurant on Riverside Dr in Liverpool, set beside the water with windows looking out over the river. The kitchen runs a dim sum selection alongside cooked dishes such as beef fried rice noodles, deep-fried fish cake and prawn with seaweed, and a steamed cake. Some dim sum dishes appear only on Sundays, widening the choice for anyone visiting that day. The drinks list leans toward spritzes, including Aperol, Paloma, Hugo and Lemoncello versions, plus a Jasmine Tea Grapefruit. The restaurant opens daily and takes walk-ins rather than reservations. A car park on site offers free parking for those arriving by car.

“The food is good, especially the deep-fried items-fish cake and prawn with seaweed. Besides, the steam cake is also very nice. The restaurant has a great window view and the staff are friendly.”

“Out of the big 3 Liverpool Dim sum Restaurant as at 2026, Chung Ku is the best out of the three in my mind. They are located quite far away from city centre but plenty of free parking. The food quality as at 2026 is definitely the best, the view is also amazing. There are plenty of uncommon dim sum which can be found here. Highly recommend to try for the best dim sum in liverpool.”

“Great service and great food on a non busy day. Food was efficient, there’s lots of dim sum to choose from although some dishes are only available on Sundays. The car park is very spacious, and felt really secure. If I lived in Liverpool this would be my go to place.”

“I come to this Chinese restaurant again on Saturday. The place was very clean, the staff were pretty friendly, and the location is by the river with a beautiful sea view. Last time I say the Chinese dim sum and beef fried rice noodles were delicious. But the Chinese main course is also very fantastic. It's an excellent restaurant.”
