Chinese New Year is just around the corner and as we continue to build up to the planned programme of local celebrations the Liverpool ECHO will be crowning the best Chinese takeaway and restaurant in our region. We recently shared a survey with our readers, asking them to name their favourite restaurant or takeaway in the city - and we were overwhelmed by the response.

Hundreds of people got in touch to share their favourites, as well as naming the best dish to order in every establishment. Now we need you to vote for your favourite out of all the venues that were nominated - and we will announce the winner in time for the Chinese New Year parade.

The Chinese New Year festival, also known as Lunar New Year, begins on the first day of the first lunar month in the calendar, and ends with the 'Lantern Festival' on the 15th day. The festival celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. This year, Wednesday, January 29, 2025, will mark in the beginning of the Year of the Snake. Last year, the Year of the Dragon, Liverpool’s Chinatown became a festival of sound and confetti with a packed programme of free events for everyone to enjoy.

Landmarks throughout the region, such as Sefton Park Palm House, the Royal Liver Building and Liverpool Town Hall, have been known to light up in red to signify good fortune. The period around the Lunar New Year is a popular time to visit a local Chinese takeaway or restaurant to enjoy some of the delicious dishes on offer and celebrate the culture of Liverpool's historic Chinese community.

And with so many families taking the opportunity to tuck into a delicious Chinese meal, we wanted to find the best in the city with the help of our readers' recommendations. Liverpool arguably has some of the best Chinese restaurants in the country, from Sans on Lightbody Street which has been serving customers since the 1970s to Ying Wah in Woolton which is a local institution. The city is also home to a number of beloved takeaways including Lee Dynasty in Aigburth and Kingsway Chippy in Huyton.
