Situated in the Albert Dock, it looks like a traditional French restaurant from the outside. My wife and I after a day shopping in Liverpool One were hungry and wanted to try something different. We liked the look of the place and decided to order some food for lunch. When we entered, it was busy. We managed to find a table and took a seat. Our waitress like most serving there were Eastern European, all looked like they were there doing the job to earn a living. My girlfriend ordered a chicken baguette whilst I ordered fish and chips. The food arrived after 25 mins, the baguette looked like it came from a frozen packet and nothing like a freshly made French baguette that we expected. I had a taste of my girlfriend's chicken baguette, the chicken was dry and tasteless. My fish looked as if it came our of a cheap range supermarket packet and dumped in a deep fry like my chips. It was full of grease and not like a beer battered fish that you'd hope for being in a port like Liverpool. I couldn't help noticing that the waitresses and the chef, who was a right scally from Liverpool, went about their work with no passion or enthusiasm for the food or the job. None of the staff had a smile and never bothered to ask how the food was. The Asian chap at the till who looked like the owner or the manager never asked either how the food was either, he was too busy taking my money and getting me out as fast as he could to serve other customers. The food is overpriced, is of bad quality, the seating most uncomfortable, and the restaurant feels more like a cafe. The toilets are a joke, very smelly and dirty! There are much better eating places to eat a few doors away. My advice is if you want food do yourself a favour and go somewhere else and definitely don't take your partner here. This place is rubbish!

Since my last review I sent in 2006, Mei Mei is still my favourite eating place. Good service and warm, friendly staff. Food always excellent.

5* Restaurant .. Delicious food excellent service friendly staff, really enjoyable relaxed atmosphere, always recommend. Xx

Absolutely fantastic. We've been visiting Lisa's chip shop for many years and her mothers before she took this shop over. Definately the best chippy and Chinese on the Wirral! I wont go anywhere else!

The beautiful, genuine staff were so friendly. The service was great and the food was amazing. I'm not too adventurous so I didn't try any of the more exotic food but the Turkish barbecue was a meat lovers dream. I'll be taking my girlfriend next time and would definitely recommend the place to others.

Just Went For a Meal With My Family And I Really Enjoyed The Food, Atmosphere And Overall Service. I Have Been To Casa Italia Many Times Before, And Hopefully Many Times To Come!

Well, was looking for a different Chinese and found this one after looking at this site and reading the reviews. " fabulous food.......quality was amazing.........better than I had before.......little jewel that nobody knows about.....the best chinese that I have ever been to" , so packed the missus and kids into the car and headed down there. Looked at the picture of the outside of the place but didnt let it put me off. WHAT A HUGE DISSAPOINTMENT. It is a low class chinese with low class food. There are far more superior chinese restaurants in St Helens. Think these reports have been left by people who dont travel any further than the bottom of their street. For the quality of the food the prices are a joke. It cost us over £150 and all everyone was looking forward to was getting a Mcflurry on the way home. Soft drinks warm and flat and come from a large bottle, but charged at very large prices. Food was extremely bland and to rate it as the best ever really is an insult to the other restaurants in St helens. I have had far better quality from many a takeaway. We eat out as a family at least once a week so my advice to anyone who hasnt been to Mr Chans before is dont bother.

Absolutely disgusting experience. From the quality of the food to the managers attitude. My partner and I where looking forward to trying out the world Buffett experience as we dine in the plaza often and had never tried this, I can honestly say we will never return as the food wasn't good enough to give a dog. When we where asked about the service we said it wasn't the best .The waiter then asked if we would like to speak to a manager who then came over to the table and was very confrontational. When we asked for the bill he threw it down and walked away didn't even apologise. Absolute rip off and totally let down.

I'm a regular customer at hong sing the food is lovely, very clean an fresh an the staff are very friendly the kids love going too .

WOW, THE FOOD IS FAB from here, check it out this is the nicest food i have ever had, super tasty and you just want more and more .

went to the Palace Balti at the weekend on recommendation from friends. We were definitely not disappointed. Food was delicious and staff extremely friendly. Would highly recommend.

Been going here for a few years and thought it was an OK restaurant. However, went this weekend and found all the food luke warm and the spring rolls and prawn toast tasted like they had been re-heated from the previous day. When I went to the manageress and said that the food was not hot enough, she said that they "change the water in the heaters on a Friday night so the food isn't usually hot enough until 2pm on the Saturday" - they open at 11.30am and she showed no remorse for the fact that anyone eating between 11.30am and 2pm on a Saturday will be eating cold food. She offered me a bottle of water as an apology (no, I'm not joking!). The Real China needs to be very careful, there are many other restaurants around them. The food they served was extremely poor and I will not be going there again. Sorry Real China, but if you had only appeared remorseful for the awful food me and my family had eaten, I may have given you a second chance, but you didn't care - good luck, you'll need it!!

I recently visited this gem on Smithdown Road and was blown away, I had read some good reviews about the place, but upon arrival, the place was empty (which was such a shame). I chose off the Vegetarian / vegan menu, a selection of vegetarian dishes served on injera bread. The owner explained Eritrean cuisine and offered me a free sample of Honey Wine. The food was very clean and fresh and the owner explained the coffee ritual which I will certainly try next time I am there. Please promote this place and visit it.

fantastic thats all i can say great food ,great decor and the food is cooked in front of you to add a bit of theatrics great night out

Food and service very good (a dining experience of top quality you will be impressed)
