Michael Wan's Mandarin
A long-established Cantonese restaurant opened in 1961, once named among Europe's best Chinese restaurants and loved by locals.
Michael Wan founded the restaurant in 1961 on Clifton Street in the town centre, making it one of Blackpool's oldest Chinese restaurants. It was named Europe's best Chinese restaurant by Big7Travel in 2019. It has consistently won Tripadvisor's Travellers' Choice award, is included in OpenTable's UK Top 100, and holds a 4.8 rating on Restaurant Guru. Signature dishes include Mrs Wang's dumplings, Sichuan chilli beef and Indonesian fried rice. Prices are a little higher than at a typical Chinese restaurant, at around £25–35 per person, and booking is advised at weekends. It is about a five-minute walk from North Station, and the restaurant is upstairs.
