Chung Ku

Chung Ku on Childwall Priory Road is one of south Liverpool's most established Chinese restaurants, with a dine-in reputation that extends well beyond the L16 postal area. The kitchen covers a full Cantonese restaurant menu — dim sum, whole fish dishes, duck in various preparations, banquet sharing plates and the extended seafood and meat selections that distinguish a proper Chinese restaurant from a takeaway — and the weekend dim sum trade in particular draws customers from across Liverpool. The Childwall Priory Road setting is quieter than the main commercial strips of Smithdown Road or Bold Street, giving Chung Ku a suburban restaurant feel rather than a city-centre destination character. The takeaway operation serves the surrounding L16 and south Liverpool streets alongside the dine-in trade.
