We love Chinese as a family . We thought we would try Pacifica Cantonese again. The food was stunning all freshly made . We had Max attend to us and we ordered the ÂŁ10.50 per person mixed platter . The portion size was large and included ribs ,large fresh prawn toast tasting the fresh prawns .seaweed and wontons. Main courses from sea bass to crispy chilli beef all large portions and wine and lager cheaper than most places . Food was promptly served a well run and special restaurant better than China town in Manchester 100% !!!

First time visit for my Birthday, on friends recommendations. As it was a Sunday evening, as well as the normal a la carte menu, they offer a Family Sunday Special menu, which is an all you can eat for ÂŁ25, based on their normal ÂŁ25 Banquet. We started with delicious Chicken & Sweetcorn soup with a huge bowl of Prawn Crackers, followed by King Rib, Prawn Toast & Seaweed, plus some deep fried Har Gar. All very tasty, well presented and good portions. For mains we shared King Prawn Cantonese & Chicken with Green Pepper in Black Bean sauce, accompanied by huge portions of egg fried rice/soft noodles; very filling. Just enough room for desserts of Banana Fritters & Profiteroles with ice cream. Excellent service by a mainly young & friendly staff, little waiting, even though the Restaurant was quite busy, despite it being a very hot Sunday evening. Drink prices reasonable for this sort of place. Quite a modern, minimalistic interior & very popular; booking recommended. Will definitely be back; Highly Recommended

Jesus. Christ.
If you consider this place good, you've never had a good Chinese meal before.
Everything served here can be bought at Farmfoods (I suspect they may know this already). Just look for the 40 piece Chinese sharing platter.
They deep fry the Siu Mai.
When I asked for the nice version of Siu Mai (not a chance mate), the young lady gave me the look of 'I know, I'm sorry'.
Those Chinese places with 'Omelette and chips' on the menu do better food than this place.
All the food is beige.
It was so, so poor.

Amazing food, amazing for venue hire and friendly staff!
We booked this place for a surprise 30th and it was honestly incredible. We booked the upstairs room, which is lovely and has more space than you think. They let us bring a selection of cakes in, as well as purchasing food from them. The food was delicious. Plenty of choice for vegans, with my own private starter, main and dessert! The catering was amazing and everyone enjoyed it.
The bar upstairs is great and the bar staff were insanely friendly!
The downstairs restaurant is amazing too!

16 of us for a birthday so thought the service would be slow, but found it to be just right. Food was lovely, service was great, and couldnt fault it. Maybe the issues raised by other diners reviewing on here have been rectified? We tried the ÂŁ25 head which was chicken sweetcorn soup (beautiful) prawn crackers with dip, dim sum (beautiful again) and I had prawn sweet and sour. Will definitely be back again with the wife soon.

Zero - all the food was deep fried even salt and pepper ribs. This is to hide the terrible quality of the food. Honestly you’d get better if you went to Iceland. It may be £25 all you can eat but it should be £25 all you can stand - terrible in Every way - worst Chinese (if you can call it Chinese) I’ve ever been to 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Visited restaurant for a birthday meal for my wife service was fine nice table and setting.
Starters were fine.
Ordered sizzling fillet stake for mains unfortunately Quality of the steak was very poor the sauce went someway to disguise this.
Steak was like balls fatty tough and chewy not what we expected.
The bill was ÂŁ96 for two starters 2 drinks and 2 very poor mains.
Nice restaurant if you don’t order the fillet steak .

We have visited Pacifica many times but hadn't been for over a year. . . It was amazing as ever. We had the Sunday Buffet Menu, ÂŁ25pp, ordered from the table and a whole array of starters brought to the table. We had 3 courses of starters so could barely eat the mains. I always rave about Pacifica, the staff are so friendly and fun, despite being in eccles it really is 5*

Few friends recommended this restaurant and in all honesty I'm gutted i went. I felt the food looked and tasted like cheap ingredients. We hardly ate anything and it cost ÂŁ75 for 2 adults and 1 child. On the plus side the food was brought out quickly and the staff all seemed friendly.

This was my first visit to the Pacifica Cantonese and just looking at the front of the building I knew it was a high-class restaurant. Was met by a friendly member of staff who showed us to our table. Took our drink order. The other members of staff were extremely polite and offered a high-class service. The food really was top quality. You got value for money. Despite a couple of birthday celebrations going on, they didn't spoil my evening with my friend. A well earnt 10/10..

We have been here many times, went twice in January, once in the evening and the food was excellent. We also went on a sunday when it is a set price per head and you can order as many starters as you want with 1 main meal. Very friendly staff, good food.what else would you need.

Visited Saturday evening Sept-11-21 at 730pm Yable for 5
Warmly welcomed, staff very helpful and available.
Food was fabulous and price was good valve for money and also they were adaptable with the menu.
What I would change have proper gin glasses to match your drink and the change the menu background as it hard to read with the blue lighting of the restaurant.
Would be back again and the food and customer service with brilliant.

We had a table booked here on Thursday evening for a birthday meal. The staff are fantastic- polite, professional and friendly. We ordered a selection of starters and main courses- could not fault any of the dishes. Fresh, hot and delicious. Portions are a great size and the service was prompt without being rushed. Atmosphere inside lovely and relaxed. Wouldn’t hesitate to dine here again, and will definitely recommend to family and friends!
