Reviews in Bootle

I regularly take out meals from the Chung Lok and would definitely recommend the chicken curry with salt and pepper chips. I have thoroughly enjoyed every meal bought from here. The staff are very friendly which helps.

Do not eat here !! worst place ever !!

I WENT ON SATURDAY NIGHT 22 NOV 08 FOR THE SPECIAL 3 COURSE PRICED 12.95 .THE 4 OF US ORDERED AND THE STARTERS WERE LOVELY MAINS COME MY 2 SISTERS ORDERED THE CHICKEN IN A CREAM SAUCE AND MY MUM ORDERED STEAK THEY LOVED IT. I GOT CHICKEN PENNE PASTA BEING ITALIAN RESTAURANT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE DELICIOUS I WAS VERY UNHAPPY THERE WAS ABOUT 5 TINY PIECES OF CHICKEN AND THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR A MAIN MEAL.I WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH MY MEAL.

ME AND MY HUBBY GO TO RUIS REGULAR.NEVER HAD A COMPLAINT TO GIVE THEM IN THREE YEARS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK RUIS.FOOD IS GORGEOUS AND DESERTS ARE SCRUMMY. TRY FOR YOURSELF YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED. EARLY BIRD MENU IS WELL VALUE FOR MONEY.

Me and my family have been going to Rui's for many years and we just keep coming back. Its a little hidden gem, Dont be put off by appearance from outside, it is a small restaurant but is always busy, the staff are lovely the food is delicious. I have been to many countries and fantastic restaurants and Rui's is on top par with them all. Try the pollo alla crema, you wont regret it!

I live quite close to the restaurant and pop in for takeaway more times than eating in the restaurant, but thats not taking anything away from the restaurant, It is in fact excellent, the staff are knowledgeable and can recommend dishes if you are unsure what to order. It is however hard to get a table at the weekends as it is quite small, so if you are thinking of going book to be sure.

This to be honest is one of the worst places i have ever had the misfortune of frequenting. I remember the 1st time myself and hubby went just as it 1st opened and we were childless and had decided to go the pictures 4 the 1st time in a long time, We arrived with 1 hour and 30 mins till our film began. We sat at our table and waited 20 mins b4 we seen any sign of a waitress, then when the orders were taken we waited another 30 mins b4 i got up and asked where the food was?? I was told they had no order for me? seems they were having technical probs from the till in the bar to the till in the kitchen and somehow out order was lost? we were now coming close to having to leave to see the film,i was assured by the manager that our food would take 15 minutes if we cancelled the starters which we did... 25 minutes later and still no food i went and spoke to the manager AGAIN and was told that our food had already been served?? Well i explained if this was the case then it was not to us. He offered us vouchers for a free meal next time? mmm declined and left! had a hotdog in the cinema which was very nice! The next few times we went the food was either awful or the service and food was terrible, My daughter got food poisoning when she went with her grandparents! I hear people talking of portion size. But it has to also be edible! I would give this place a very wide berth!!!!! stay at home and eat beans on toast.........

Seriously? You want me to comment? Okay. I wouldn't recommed this place to my most hated enemy! Roast dinner for Sunday? Er, no beef, no chicken. Ok, let's go with the lamb! Nastiest food ever. We left most of it. The sausage wrapped in bacon was a refugee from a Xmas dinner served up long ago. It had all the consistency, and flavour, of a spent cartridge fired from a Kalashnikov rifle during the seige of Stalingrad. Thank god it was only a quarter of an inch long, and there was only one of them. The peas were green, almost. I'd call it 'seasick green'. The palor of a ghost grey visage fixed to the face of a traveller braving the English channel for the first time during a stormy January afternoon crossing. They, too, had seen better days, and lay, inconsolable, at the edge of the plate near to Marie Piper's roast potatos. I say Marie Piper's because they appear to have been nibbled by her already. I would have sent them back but I feared for the customers queuing up for their own roast dinners. So I manfully ate them. It's a novel idea to serve sage and onion stuffing with lamb. However, the billiard ball hardness of the ball of stuffing did not invite further investigation. My 10 year old daughter declared the child's portion of Chicken Tikka Masala to be 'tasteless and watery'. It looked disgusting. I can only imagine that your Chicken Tikka Masala is an anagram of some other dish altogether. Thank God it was a Two For One Pub. Then again, no. The standard of the food is exactly what one should expect when one pays £9.60p for 2 Sunday roast dinners. I think I'll stay at home and cook next time. In the emantime, I think your establishment should be closed immediately. It's a disgrace.

I have eaten here three times. Boxing Day 2006 and Christmas Day 2007 and another day in 2007. On the first two occasions I felt ripped off by the poor presentation and quality of the food being served. On the other occasion i ate there I felt the same. This pub is overpriced for the standard of quality of food served. You will get much better quality and range of meals at the newly opened Pheasant Inn, Moss Lane off the Formby bypass. We had our boxing day meal there and it was fabulous, and cost us less than the costa packet steamer!

we go to the Bakers on average, once every 2 or 3 weeks. The food is always lovely, and with 2 growing boys, the portions are great. Well worth a visit!

Unable to cope with large group of people even though we had told them we would be coming in. would'nt let us move tables so we could sit together. our group had to sit on two tables with there backs to each other and two of the group had to sit on there own at a table in the middle of the room. very disappointed and what money they have lost as none of our group will return.

I regularly visit the Bakers Dozen due to the great tasting food and amazingly cheap prices! The atmosphere is also very good for both adults and children! Staff are friendly and helpful! I would definitely recommend to all!

I have visited several times and enjoyed the food every single time. We have also visited as party bookings and everybody always comments how good the food is.

I have visited twice now for lunch and would highly recommend as really good value, nice friendly staff and excellent atmosphere.

i take my family often to the Packet Steamer and we always enjoy the food and the service . I had my 40th there last year, and were taking my son on October 29th for his 18th. I? recommend you try it , you wont be disappointed

I LOVE THIS PLACE WE ALWAYS FEEL VERY WELCOME THEY NEVER FORGET A FACE I HAVE BEEN GOING HERE FOR OVER 7YRS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY COMPLAINTS FOOD ALWAYS FANTASTIC & PEOPLE FRIENDLY NOW NO SMOKING BETTER 3 COURSE NOW 10.95 BUT STILL WORTH EVERY PENNY.XX

A large improvement since I last visited, food was great, staff polite I just felt the atmosphere has gone down a lot, needs that extra something to bring back the atmosphere.

I would highly invite anyone to visit this outstanding Restaurant. The owner Jimmy is one of the nicest fellas i have ever met and always goes out of his way to help you, give it a visit, am sure you will go again.
