  “WENT HERE FOR LUNCH, HAD THE SPECIAL DEAL - BiG PLATES- All the dishes were full of flavour and delicious. We had Massaman Curry, Black Bean with Tofu and the Thai Basil. Portions were huge! Service was fantastic and friendly. Definitely worth a visit.”

  “1 star I am a local and regular customer and have spent a lot of money here over the years, so this experience was extremely disappointing. I carried the takeaway upright and carefully on my car seat. When I got home, the curry sauce lid was completely open. It had spilled into the salt and pepper chips, partly opened their box and covered the outside of the chicken katsu and salt and pepper chicken containers. I tried to save the food by putting it onto plates, but the chips were inedible and had to be thrown away. When I returned with photos, the blonde female staff member looked at me as though I was trying to get free food. She said the chips were sold separately and questioned how the sauce could have entered the box. There was no apology, only an unfriendly and accusatory attitude. A young male employee eventually helped and replaced the chips and sauce, but even then I received no apology. I was taking this meal home for my daughter, who became upset when she saw the mess. Mistakes can happen, but treating a loyal customer like they are dishonest is unacceptable. The food was eventually replaced, but the staff attitude made this a genuinely awful experience.”

  “So full! This is one of the best Chinese I've had! 3 meat noodle soup and a side of crispy belly pork. Faultless! Jacob was boss also.”

  “Had a fantastic experience at Yum Cha Liverpool. The food was absolutely incredible – every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. A special mention to Grace and Liv, who were attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout our visit. They took the time to explain the menu, offer recommendations, and helped us choose dishes that we thoroughly enjoyed. Their excellent service really elevated the whole experience. Great food, great atmosphere, and outstanding staff. I’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend Yum Cha to anyone visiting Liverpool. To add to the experience they have an outside collection point for delivery drivers! No annoying uber eats drivers leaning on your table or hovering around watching you eat!! Added some photos for inspo but honestly all the food is incredible!! Highlighted the menu for a game of matchy matchy!!”

  “The food was good, the staff let it down. The atmosphere was terrible, from the moment we walked into the restaurant, the staff were rude and disorganised. More than one staff member asking us about drinks orders but not politely, and then another staff member just throwing food on the table and not saying anything. Then when we asked for side plates once again no response they were just thrown on the table. The only saving grace was a staff member called Elise, she came in towards the end of our meal and took over service and she was a ray of sunshine. But a birthday meal was very much marred by the attitude of the staff. It also didn’t help that the four staff members all stood in the same spot together and it presented that they were whispering about the customers in the restaurant. It wasn’t a pleasant experience which I as disappointing as the food was lovely. It also took them about half an hour to clean the table next to ours that was empty and filthy from before we were seated!”

  “One of my fave places to eat on Lark Lane. We ordered the 4 meat bowl with fried rice £15.95 (+£1 fried rice), curry for him and sesame sauce for me. You get a lot so I didn't manage to finish all mine, the boyf did though! The meats are very tender. We also had the Nutella fried bao with icecream. Our servers were very attentive and the atmosphere on a Monday around 6pm was very quiet. Walked it off in Sefton Park afterwards.”

  “Ordered a takeaway on Deliveroo in mid-December 2025 containing one portion of salt and pepper spare ribs and one portion of chicken fried rice. The spare ribs were fantastic (picture attached), and 10 were included in the portion, which is quite generous. Additionally, £9 is fairly standard for a portion of salt and pepper spare ribs on Deliveroo. So I can't complain as it was a large, tasty portion for a reasonable price. Chicken fried rice, on the other hand, was a little overpriced at £13.95 on Deliveroo, which is substantially more than many other similar takeaways nearby. Additionally, the portion size was on the lower end for a chicken fried rice, making this even more unjustifiable. The fried rice was nice but very oily and full of onions, which is not necessarily bad, but the large quantity of onions was quite overpowering, so be aware of this. The packing was phenomenal so if you order this as a takeaway don't worry it is well packed (image attached). Overall, i'd rate Yum Cha on Lark Lane a 3.5/5. It's a decent takeaway, but the value for money on the chicken fried rice just isn't there. Although the packing was great and I loved the spare ribs and as such I will likely try more of the food options in the future.”

  “What a fabulous restaurant, with friendly, helpful service and fresh, tasty food. The whole experience was enjoyable here and there is a lovely, lively vibe throughout the restaurant. We ordered 2 small plates and a large plate per couple and there was plenty of food. Every dish was delicious and the ingredients were great quality and fresh. Our server Liv was super helpful and helped us navigate the menu towards dishes we’d prefer. Great beer, food and service.”
