Cathay Garden

Can't comment on atmosphere as I had a takeaway but food was great and hot very happy

Had a party of 12 people here including kids, everyone loved there food

Dined here this evening with my wife. Didn't know what to expect (we'd found our usual go to Chinese Restaurant closed until early January, which was disappointing on a cold, damp & windy evening). Not to be put off we headed off to the Cathay Garden, which we'd seen open earlier on. In we went... Whilst the restaurant was quiet (but busy on Take away order's), it was warm and welcoming. The staff immediately friendly and helpful from the off. We chose the 'Peking Banquet' and thoroughly enjoyed it. Couldn't have been better. I even enjoyed a free cup of coffee on the house, which I thought was a really nice gesture at the end of our meal to finish off. Also a no rush service from start to finish (at our request) which we appreciated very much. Hate rushing when eating....Like a little rest between courses. After all, it's not a race. The price too was more than reasonable and the excellent service from a young man and perhaps the owners wife, was really first class. They, the lovely food, the pricing and the overall enjoyable evening, will see us look forward to returning. Indeed it's our new go to, when opting for a Chinese Restaurant in Southport in future. Some correspondents have criticised the decor. Personally we found it clean, warm & comfortable; and we both never had any negative thoughts about it (indeed we've been to far worse by a country mile). We shall be returning. That is certain. Thank you very much for a lovely reasonably priced meal and an overall enjoyable evening; and well done! What more can you want - speak as you find.

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

A forgotten gem. Chicken cashew, crispy duck and pancakes, service is great. They are very thoughtful.
