What it's like
Slow Boat is a Frodsham Street Chinese and Southeast Asian restaurant in Chester for all-you-can-eat banquets, a la carte dishes, takeaway, delivery and group meals.
Slow Boat is a Frodsham Street staple: Chinese and Southeast Asian dishes, all-you-can-eat banquets, takeaway and a room that suits group feeding better than delicate ceremony.
The useful version is simple. Go when appetite is high, the table wants choice, and nobody is watching the clock too closely. It is less useful as a fast pre-theatre precision tool.
Worth knowing
Slow Boat is best approached as a quantity, choice and group-comfort place. It can be exactly right when everyone is hungry; it is the wrong bet when the clock is the main character.
