Mr Lau's Dim Sum Bar & Restaurant

My calamari was quite tough, the cauliflower crisp was bland with no seasoning, although my wife's Korean chicken starter was very nice. The mains were of a reasonable size, but even on the early diner deal, dinner for 4 came to over £170, which it simply wasn't worth. The screaming child didn't help the lack luster atmosphere Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

Bill came to £145 for two people. This is the third time we have been to Mr Lous to try their “famous” lobster deal where you get a bottle of champagne with any 2pb Lobster which is only on Fridays. Each time we have been they have had NO lobster! Food we did order was extremely overpriced, dry and unpleasant. Duck spring rolls £7 hardly had any meat in them, just stuffed with a load of Veg. Honey Chicken £18 was basically 8 chicken nuggets on a plate with NO Sauce! We had to share the sauce from another main. Prawn toast £14 was awful! It is basically one piece of toast stuffed with more than the usual amount of Prawns. It was dry and taste was overwhelming with the amount of prawns stuffed in there. King Dum Po Chicken £24 calamari £4 £28 total for a main without any rice or chips! You could tell they reduced the portion size just to add the Calamari. Portion was mainly veg with little meat. AGAIN! Tried to order drinks with the porter who brings food to the table which he said he’ll get a staff member to come over. 15 minutes later no one came. I had my meal with no drink. We was in the booth right next to the bar so I had to go up and order it myself. Cocktail took another 10 minutes to come. Drinks were overpriced due to the lack of complimentary champagne with the lobster which we called and was assured they would have on! . Service was extremely slow, waited 20 minutes to get a waiters attention to pay the bill. You could spot way off who the owner was as she was stomping around the restaurant piercing looks at the staff. The concept of this restaurant is amazing, But the delivery on service, food, affordability and customer service have been compromised by its former reputation which once held this establishment in such a high pedestal. Now, it seems it’s got more expensive without any improvement on its service. It is the kind of restaurant you try once just for experience, but retention of customers is defiantly an issue this restaurant faces. Restaurant itself was designed with a gorgeous interior with good lighting. But, I wouldn’t be deceived.

The food here is absolutely superb, and the service matches it was a lovely evening. I have wanted to try here for so long, and it certainly did not disappoint.

I’m disappointed in an order placed last week. Last Friday, as a special treat to celebrate my brothers GCSE results,we decided to try this Chinese after hearing about it. Excited to try it, we placed an order for around £100 worth of food. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed and let down. The portions were very small for the prices, we paid £7 for salt and pepper chips to receive a stingy handful of chips. We paid £14 for salt and pepper ribs and were shocked that the ribs were small with hardly any meat on them and weren’t even battered. The fried rice was awful, it appeared as though it was boiled rice mixed in with clumps of scrambled egg, absolutely no flavour. The salt and pepper chicken was a small portion again, half the box consisted of useless garnishes and fried onions. The squid was the only nice component of the meal as it was tender. The sweet and sour pork, char Sui buns and everything else was average. Definitely not worth the £100 bill, especially after my little brother had used his savings to pay for it and was let down. Definitely much better Chineses in the Warrington area, such as the Choy Hing.
