Cafe De China

We went to Cafe De China on a Sunday lunchtime to celebrate a friends 80th birthday and had a lovely time, the staff were very polite and attentive, and the food was excellent. The decor is a bit tired and the carpet could do with an industrial clean, found our feet sticking to it! Parking was a bit of an issue, they do have some parking bays as you enter the supermarket carpark, but not many. Due to no available spaces we had to park in the supermarkets carpark and had to relocate after 1 1/2 hours. DO NOT OVERSTAY! Please don't let the previous comments stop you from visiting, we had a great time and the food was very good, and that's what is important, isn't it ?

I have always loved the food here and still do. It's getting a bit dated now the plates you can see marbling and gray and the pictures over the glass window etc the tape is discolouring. It was 1/4 full and we laughed how some of the dishes were thrown onto the table like frisbies The menus were very sticky but that could of been a dirty cloth being used to clean them. The food is great always red hot and quickly served well worth a visit.

nothing has changed. Since time began, since the dinosaurs fell or since the Normans came with sword and shield, not a single thing in Cafe de china has changed. the decor makes it feel more like a time capsule than a restaurant and the manager was born in that outfit. That said.... the service is great, the waitresses are all friendly, there there is one older male waiter who literally eye rolls at customers and is so eager to just be done talking to you....... THAT SAID..... the food is amaze balls. it can be a bit hit and miss working out what parts of the menu are on tonight/haven't been made for years and they just haven't updated the menus..... but when what you can get finally arrives, it is so damn tasty, i forget all the above issues. Get some of that duck guys, seriously.

Love this place. Used to be weekly regulars during uni days, now just when we’re back in town visiting friends. Great selection of food and prompt service albeit sometimes they can be too quick to ask for orders. It’s a large open dining room so it can be quite noisy when busy, I wouldn’t recommend this place for a quiet/intimate date. The selection of starters are great with lots of choices of mains and accompaniments. Great for a large group but would recommend booking in advance as this place gets packed out at the weekends. Food is served fresh and fast and they offer real loose leaf jasmine and Chinese tea.
