Cathay Garden in Sefton

Again, another Chinese restaurant without a menu to be viewed online, without paying third parties for delivery. Bad service and I'm looking elsewhere for my takeaway.

Great meal with good service

Food amazing. Staff so lovely. Well worth visit

This was a very good Chinese, don’t get me wrong. Why did I not give it five stars? Well, perhaps because, I just don’t think that the ambience and service quite reaches the standards over the last 30+ years that we have been coming here. For that reason alone, I give it four stars. Very good food tonight, but room for improvement.

Ordered first time for delivery. Was delivered within the time parameters they set. Every item was absolutely delicious, some Chinese can be too salty for my taste but this was the perfect balance. I haven't got a bad word to say, we loved all of it. Definitely will be ordering again.

Needs a bit of updating, staff nice, food ok.

This was our first visit to Cathay Garden. It has a very relaxed and casual atmosphere and the staff are very friendly and attentive. Our starters were delicious - spring rolls and salt & pepper barbeque ribs. My sliced duck with prawn stuffing main was also mouth watering, but my partner found her beef with green pepper and black bean sauce - one of her favourite dishes - too salty. The restaurant was very understanding, and brought the same dish again, with less added salt. However, we discovered that the saltiness was coming from the black beans, and there were lots of them. The staff tried very hard to help us, but it did spoil the evening a little. We were also asked to leave while still drinking the last of our wine, as the table was needed. We'd been there almost two hours at this point. Researching black beans since the meal, I've discovered they can be very salty if not rinsed before cooking, so I wonder if this was the issue? Although not the best experience, we will try this restaurant again.EDIT: I do not recommend the takeaway! You can get the same or better quality elsewhere for half the price.

Absolute rubbish. Went last night for a take out for 2 . Can't explain how awful it was £30 in the binI wouldn't mind but the place was empty so you would think they could have made an effort to cook it properly .Spring rolls dripping in fat and crispy chilli chicken like sticks of rock with no sauce

Amazing food best Chinese I've had thanks to the chef Ray you must try deep fried chicken in garlic an chilli you won't be disappointed

Amazing restaurant with high quality fresh ingredients and lovely staff. They have set menus ranging from £15 up to about £42. Listened and catered for us especially with our allergies and just generally had a lovely evening. Will definitely be coming back again as the original owners are back in full time management!!
