Quick info
About Maggie Fu
Maggie Fu is an Asian restaurant on Hanover St in Liverpool, with orders taken and paid for at the bar before the food is served. The menu runs to 109 dishes, including prawn crackers, steamed rice, and both steamed and salt and pepper sui mai, alongside chicken gyoza. Salt and pepper prawns, spicy pork, prawn toast, and ramen also appear on the menu. The restaurant operates on a walk-in basis and opens daily, with no reservations taken. Dishes arrive in courses, and the gap between the first and second course can run long. The pay-at-bar setup means the bill is settled upfront rather than at the end of the meal, simplifying the process for walk-in diners moving through a menu of this size.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers point to the prawn toast as a standout, with the ramen also praised for its flavor. Salt and pepper prawns and spicy pork drew complaints, called too spicy and greasy, with one diner leaving most uneaten after a long wait between courses. Several note food and drink is paid for upfront at the bar, and staff are repeatedly described as friendly despite the pacing issues.

“Table booked for 7pm on Saturday Eve and this turned out to be the busiest time. Food and drink is ordered and paid for at the bar. …”
- Martina Novak
“It's unusual that you pay for a meal in a restaurant first, and then you get the food, which is delicious, but quite greasy and too abundant. There's a really large selection of dishes, the staff is friendly, but a small complaint is that they were sweeping and cleaning around us while we were eating.”

“Maggie Fu has amazing food which is really tasty if you enjoy Chinese cuisine. I would highly recommend the prawn toast, it’s the best I’ve had so far. The atmosphere of the restaurant is a chilled vibe. Definitely visit if you’re hungry!”

“While it’s a bit on the expensive side, it is well worth the price. The ramen was delicious and the atmosphere is fantastic. It’s in a very convenient location and the staff is incredibly friendly. I highly recommend this place to any ramen lover!!”
