I used to come here a long time ago as a child and really had forgotten all about it. Decided to go and relive some memories. Firstly parking can be a little awkward, but we managed to get a spot just opposite the entrance. There are builders on the site next to it so it can look a bit iffy. On entering the cafe we were warmly greeted by Lynn the owner who is a great character. Menu isn't huge but there's a mix of Chinese meals and English breakfasts. Ordered the beef chow mein and the famous chop suey rolls then patiently waited. When the chow mein came I was pleasantly surprised by the portion and presentation. Have to say it tasted even better than it looked. Absolutely great beef which melted in my mouth, noodles were delicious, veg cooked to perfection and the sauce was perfect. I can truthfully say it is the best Chinese I have been to and I've been to a lot. Lynn cooks the old style way not the overfilling of beansprouts and little meat we mostly get in a lot of restaurants. The chop suey rolls were very nice too and her char sui was so tasty. On the day we went in her granddaughter Sophie was there too, a lovely polite young lady. Will definitely return.
I've heard great reviews about San's. seen YouTube videos so drove past and gave it a try. Called in at 11.50hrs Monday 20th Nov 2023 and ordered the hand made special Chai sui spring roll and special chow main, came to £14.50. nobody else in the café and waited about 20 mins. The owner San came out after cooking and asked me if id been before and said i would be back for the the spring rolls. For £5 the spring roll was quite small and had quite burned batter on both ends, but the batter in the middle was stodgy and gluey to taste, not filo pastry as I expected. The Chai sui pork was nice but let down by the stodgy batter. The special chow main was the worst I've ever had at £9.50 it had no king prawns or prawns, just pork very little chicken a little amount of beef, but mainly broccoli and onions and vermicelli noodles soaked in soy sauce. The salt content made me stop and get a bottle of water. Don't know if this was a bad day or the normal due to no body else in the café at lunchtime and lots of construction workers, working on the new Everton ground across the road.
Visited today 24th Sept 2023 on the recommendation of Danny from Rate my takeaway (youtube). The cafe did not disappoint. Friendly staff great choice of food. Both English and Chinese. We had Special Chow Mein, Salt and Pepper Chicken and Choy Suey rolls.The Choy Suey rolls were as I remember from my childhood, big tasty and crispy, Lovely chat with the owner, she showed us some videos from the Hair Bikers visit. Parking available outside the front door. I'm coming back without a doubt.
