Tried The Waterfront Bistro for the first time last night, it was absolutely amazing. Every dish was well presented and tasted divine. If you haven't done so already, give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

Just had our usual special chow mein (no beef) and fried chicken with mushrooms in garlic sauce. Loved it. Freshly cooked, very tasty and just the right amount for two of us. It's only a 10minute walk from us, so by the time we had got out costa on and walked there everything was ready. Highly recommended, and I don't do that often, particularly for a take away. Well done

Decided to book a reservation last minute. Food was delicious, albeit a little pricey, compared to London prices. The set up of the restaurant is a bit all over the place and some music wouldn’t go amiss to create a bit of atmosphere, however ultimately you eat out to enjoy good food and that we did. Would we go back? Yes.

I have to say that I thought them a bit pricey but then the food is of outstanding quality and generous quantity. Delivered on time at a cost of £1:50 (should consider dropping the delivery charge) on a very busy Saturday evening. I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent Chinese food although the prices will serve to make this one a “special treat” takeaway in the future.

We had a lovely eat in Chinese meal at the Waterfront tonight. The prices are more expensive than our local BUT the portions are about twice as big. The vegetables in the scallops were fresh and crisp, and the scallops were tender. The beef in the beef and mushrooms was soft and delicious. The spicy chips were delicious and flavorful. The staff are warm and welcoming without being false. The place was very child friendly. We had a great time and if we are in the area again we would go back.

Excellent mix of pub/cafe food (fish and chips, ham egg and chips etc) and Chinese dishes. Rib meat meltingly tender, satay chicken v good, chicken chow mein looked so fresh and appetising. Portions are generous and it's licensed.
