New Mayflower

Me and my wife were out and about looking to try something new and New Mayflower seemed reasonable. Food was brilliant and wasn't waiting long for it to come to the table. Price was acceptable except for the service charge, not really sure what service I received except being seated, taking my order and taking my money. Staff were all friendly, venue was clean and welcoming.

The food is authentic and delicious. The portions are a bit small for what you're paying but the food is well done. This restaurant is unpretentious and you can just expect good authentic food. However, it could be a little unusual for those not accustomed to the knacks of the restaurant. Staff are not particularly "friendly" or attentive in typical Western standards but they are efficient and food arrives in a timely manner and hot. It's also best to eat family style because that's typically what is done. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and would return.

Food is still good, even after the change of management. They don't give you the usual salted peanuts when you are at the table but their crab dish is still awesome as ever. If you're a crab lover and love Chinese food. Definitely come here. Also take note, if you do have vouchers, they will not accept it on Fridays.

This place is the go to place for big plates of food, seafood, and free desserts with fruits complimentary with your meal!!! They only do dinner business now but there was a period where they tried touting for lunch dim sum. Favourites of my friends to order are fish, lobster with noodles, they even order clams, and of course roast duck! Other friends had bad service experience but I've had more decent ones than not, plus last time I came here we literally sat there for 4 hours chatting and noone tried to kick us out! Service was top notch with frequent tea refills and clearing of plates. It might have been because one of our friends seem to be a good friend of the manager's but we won't go into that! Be that as it may, you will have decent food offerings here! Only word of caution is to be careful of the steps when you go downstairs to go to the toilets. I've tripped a few times and last time saw a lady tumble down the stairs! Not good!
