Dragon Oriental Restaurant in Manchester

The food is very tasty. Recommended 100%

The best Chinese food we’ve had. Excellent service and great atmosphere all night.

Great food at a reasonable price for the centre of china town!

Excellent food. Very helpful and professional staff. Highly recommend!

The ecstasy rice is delicious! The frozen lemon tea is delicious!

The food is good and staff are nice!!!!

The curry beef brisket rice is delicious, and the fried noodles are delicious but a little salty.

Amazing food and very kind and efficient service. I will definitely come back many times! 多謝你!

This place is a gem Proper good food and big portions Staff are always there and always friendly Been there a few times and will definitely be going back again

Quality food and even better staff. Could not have asked for a nicer meal. We are big eaters and took the leftovers home!

Brilliant speedy service staff were lovely and food was great !

Love this place! As a Shenzhen-er (part of Canton and right next to Hong Kong) I grew up eating Hong Kong/Cantonese style food and this place tastes truly authentic, strongly recommended!!! Love their Hong Kong milk tea and roast duck!!!!!!! 😍😍😍🧋🦆

Just happened across this restaurant while ambling around, having decided that something Chinese for lunch might be nice. Noticed a few people queuing, which is usually a good sign, and so it was. The food was lovely, really tasty and generous portions. Would certainly visit again when back in Manchester.

Very traditional and authentic Hong Kong food. As a Hong Konger, I am impressed by them serving a drink that is very authentic and even difficult to find in Hong Kong nowadays. The pricing is fair for the UK and the food portions are great.

Chinese restaurant in Manchester's Chinatown 'The space is a little narrow' and the price is a little expensive' but the food quality is pretty good'

Over priced with disrespectful staff

Very good Chinese food here - tried to have the Char Siu rice meal and French bread starter, and failed miserably 🤣. Highly recommend if you're in the area...!

excellent food, excellent rice with chicken.

Food and service are both excellent. Highly recommended. Hong Kong's human touch, friendly hospitality and high standard of food. Milk tea and lemon tea are must-try. Personally, I like the pickled fish, stir-fried beef river and curry beef brisket. I was very excited to see the salt-and-pepper bone cooked in the quarantine station. I will try it next time.

Amazing food! Reminds me of Memories of the food i had in childhood in Hong Kong.

Great atmosphere and fantastic authentic HK food, the French toast is amazing

Great service too! Shout out to Matthew! :) Best service and best food!

Really brilliant speedy and delicious

We have visited 4 times now and the food is amazing each time, very nice staff and good prices authentic food

Best Chinese Restaurant we found in Manchester

Very friendly and quick service

The service is very good, the food is delicious, recommended!

Large plate of roasted duck rice, great value for money👍

Food was lovely plenty, staff were excellent very friendly service was great too will be going back again thank you 👍👍👍

came here twice so far, food and service are both good! it did remind me food in hong kong. higly recommend the french toast, super nice with peanut butter in as filling and honey as dipping. Will go again for the winter specials!!

An excellent place for Chinese cuisine. The roast duck and dry chilli chicken is out of this world and I’m sure that the other dishes are an excellent too. Friendly, warm and homely atmosphere. A home away from home.

Nuestra idea era tomar un bocado rápido antes de nuestra asistencia a Only Fools and Horses en la Opera House. Así que probamos Chinatown, siempre un buen lugar para probar. El Dragon Orient proporcionaba una opción, y la tomamos. Esta fue una excelente elección, ya que el restaurante fue embestido. Comenzamos con panecillos de primavera de verduras y compartimos revuelto - carne frita en salsa de frijoles negros. Con fideos y arroz. Todos los platos eran excelentes, al igual que el servicio. Menú divertido, muchas opciones en inglés y chino. Instalaciones básicas pero impecablemente limpio. Gran lugar para comer, así que vete ya

nice service , food taste great

Fantastic food and great service. We had a lovely meal

Nice food and nice service! Love the vermicelli!

Like being in a Hong Kong cha chaan teng - hot, fresh food with refreshing drinks like iced milk tea.

Salt and pepper pork chop rice was fabulous💖😉

Amazing food and really lovely service and staff

What a amazing restaurant lovely people and fantastic food ❤️

Good food and service and friendly staff

nice milk tea and French toast in HK style!

Great food. Prompt service. The soft shell crab was delicious and soft. The chicken claypot, sublime. Very recommend.

Fragrant, wok-like, reasonably priced

Big portions for the price, really flavorful food as well.

Authentic cantonese cuisine...😍 The beef chow fun is the most delicious one I have ever had, the amount of roasted meat with three dishes is very large, and we two people have eaten half of them left over.

The satay beef noodle meal I had was actually a three-part regular meal (English name: all day breakfast). There is tea and toast, 15.5 pounds, a reasonable price. But unfortunately, the service time is only 11:30am to 2pm, because the channel opens at 11:30am.

4.5 out of 5. Great food. I had the beef noodle.

Amy's service attitude is very good

Great place! Everything was very good, the price, the portion size, the variety and the food was delicious! Will definitely come back!

La comida era excelente y el servicio muy amable. Sin embargo, los tamaños de las porciones son grandes y pedimos más de lo que podíamos comer de manera realista. La vista del arco chino desde la ventana era la guinda del pastel. Sin duda volveremos.

Excellent experience will go again

They lied to me that they will give me discount for paying cash, but not giving enough discount. Not being honest.

Authenticated Hong Kong style taste. You

Lots of food in huge portions for a good price, very very hospitable and friendly.

What a great restaurant, superb attentive staff, and excellent food 5/5..

Great food, reasonable prices, and super friendly staff! A pleasant dining experience overall.

The clerks and the old man are also funny lol

lovely friendly staff, great service and food was yummy! Lots of food for a good price!

Really good food! Huge portions!

Food average.. Service was good, but felt rushed out when we'd finished, as there was a queue at the door

Main course was really bad (salt and pepper chicken with rice) , but the starter gyoza was very nice, service was good

Nice place found in Chinatown. They have 3 course lunch menu for £16 which is nice. Fast service too

I like curry pork chop and signature fried rice

They didn't speak English, so it was difficult to order.

One of our plates came 10mins before the other so my bf had finished his food before mine even came. Mapo tofu was awful just sichuan pepper corns that make your tongue tingle so bad (usually love spicy food) in a thickened sauce with no flavour. Server saw that it was barely touched but didn't say anything

I have eaten in this restaurant twice, but had never tried their roasted meat. I used to eat something like that very often back in Hong Kong so I decided to try it tonight and it was a disaster. I ordered roasted pork (“cha siu”) and soy sauce chicken with rice. First it took them a long time to prepare the dish only because I was not in hurry. It was OK then when it arrived, the first thing I tried was the rice and it was not soft not very hot very crunchy in a bad way. Then the chicken was super dry and not tasty. The bbq pork was also very dry. Nothing tasted fresh in this dish. I’m very disappointed.

Our new favourite Chinese restaurant. We will be back!

Authentic HK taste with very generous portion

Good food but the prices are little bit up 😄

Great food, good price and good vibe. Staff is nice.

Food took very long to prepare very bad service. Do not recommend this place rude staff don’t come here. And also very expensive.

After eating 200+ Cantonese dishes, some of them are easy to eat and others are really not. The pickled fish has no pickled taste at all. The chef actually added a lot of vinegar and the taste is amazing. The waiter was also drunk and wanted a little garlic, but he had to charge 1 pound. I was about to leave after finishing the meal, and the last dish hadn't been served yet. The waiter actually said that the food was slow and took a long time. It takes an hour to make a vegetable soup. Can't you be more sincere? If you forget, you just forgot and it's over. Do you have to be so naive to lie to people?

Li left the United Kingdom for a year. It is really difficult to drink high-quality milk tea in Hong Kong. I have done it here and the service is first-class. If I am in Liman, I personally think that I must have Li Ji Tea Restaurant.

Lovely place, friendly staff and great food!!!

Servicio lento, los refrescos pedidos vinieron en botella con paja sin vidrio, la comida salió que estaba todo frío, consiguió patatas fritas de sal y pimienta patatas fritas flacas congeladas con un poco de chile y cebolla echado sobre ellos sin condimento, huevo arroz frito soso podría hacer mejor yo mismo salsa de curry parecía que estaba sentado un buen rato antes de que se había servido a nosotros la piel formada en la parte superior de ella la comida se sentía como si fuera recalentado comida vieja, camarero preguntó cómo era la comida dije que estaba todo frío sonrió y dijo ah perdón por eso! ¡Sobreprecio de porciones pequeñas! ¡Podría mejorar toda la comida yo mismo en casa! Nunca volvería

Food is much better than the first time I came here! Very authentic Hong Kong food!

Authentic Chinese and cantonese food with excellent service :))

Good food, nice taste but not enough veg

Amazing food (HongKong Style) and reasonably priced. Will definitely visit again during my next visit to Manchester.

The staff at the restaurant was very friendly, which made a good first impression. The first courses we ordered arrived promptly, which we appreciated. However, the service began to decline after that. The last three dishes we ordered took about 45 minutes to arrive, which felt excessive, especially considering that the restaurant wasn’t busy at the time—I was there at 9:45 PM, and the place wasn’t crowded at all. It’s unclear what caused the delay, but it was definitely too long to wait. Additionally, when we asked for water, we were served tap water in a bottle with an opened cap, which gave the impression that the bottle might have been reused. This raised concerns about the hygiene standards. As for the food itself, the quality was quite disappointing, especially given the prices. We ended up eating very little because it didn’t meet our expectations. We frequently dine at Asian restaurants, so we have a good sense of what to expect, and unfortunately, this experience fell short. Given all these issues, I don’t think I would return to this restaurant.

Obvious attempt to rip off customers. I’ve been to this restaurant many times because of its stable food quality although it’s more expensive than other HK-style restaurants and it imposes a 10% service charge. Last time I went there, they made me pay cash, claiming there’s a rule all bills below £15 had to be settled by cash, while the truth is I never brought cash with me and every time I visited this restaurant to have the same meal, I settled by debit card. I went there today and I couldn’t finish my stir-fried noodles and thus asked for a plastic container to take it home. I was perfectly fine with the 50p charge they asked for (noting many restaurants wouldn’t ask for this charge), but they had the cheek to bring me a teeny tiny plastic box I’ve never seen in my life. I looked at the container with bewilderment and asked the staff member: are you serious? I’m paying 50p for this and you’re bringing this container to me? He then cheekily squeezed the noodles in the box and quickly put it in a plastic bag and tied a few knots. I deliberately took it out to take pictures to show how ridiculous it was and found two corners of the plastic lid were broken. When I got home, I put it alongside another plastic box I got from another restaurant for comparison. It’s just horrendous. I have kept their little membership card with me so you can see I’m a rather frequent customer, but I don’t think I’ll go there again.

Red Bean Ice Cream was great, duck was excellent. I would recommend it for anyone who enters this restaurant

Good good that resembles to Hong Kong style

Me & my friend came from London straight to this restaurant. By far best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever tasted. Everything was a 5 star down to the customer service, atmosphere & prices. For a starter and main (lunch menu) it cost me £14.50. Absolute bargain If you are local do pop by!!!!!!! Highly recommend

To be fair, the food is good and cost-effective, there are set menus to choose from, and the place is comfortable and convenient🙌🏼Waiter service is fast and good, I hope the business will continue to be prosperous

First time in authentic Chinese place with a friend. Food is delicious, atmosphere is great. Good service, friendly and so accommodating. Best quality food with affordable price range. Enjoy your meal. Kids friendly, spice range can be adjusted, lots of space for people. Big tables. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Chinese food.

We don't get sick, good dishes and well served, adequate prices

The service was terrible. I ordered a plate for two people, a rice and a bowl of noodles. I waited for 30 minutes and asked when the noodles would be served. The middle-aged lady said I forgot to order. The worst service attitude I have ever encountered. I have to complain to the female waiter.

A great place for Hong Kong people!

Great original taste of Hong Kong food 😋 yummy

Excellent food and portion sizes!

As a Hong Konger, I have to give it a thumbs up. It tastes better than Hong Kong Cha Ji. The food quality and food portions are worth it. The price in Hong Kong is so good. It reminds me of the taste of Hong Kong. I will help you next time🇭🇰🇬🇧

This is the first time I tried the curry beef brisket rice in this restaurant, it’s very delicious 😋; In addition, the baked Portuguese chicken rice still maintains a rich flavor😋👍

The worst baked coconut chicken in Portuguese Style I ever had. The chicken was sour, really weird taste. Even fast food restaurants in Hong Kong taste better than it. I was looking for a spoon but no one served me. Will never visit here again

The soy sauce chicken is so smooth and smooth, the salted fish and chicken diced roasted pork fried rice is the most surprising, the barbecue platter is so rich and has everything, the western toast is hot and spicy, the curry beef brisket rice and the dry-fried beef river are just the same, but the store is good It’s big and comfortable to sit in. The staff are so polite and take your time to place your orders and quickly bring your food! Especially the two sister waiters👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️ I

Everything was delicious, but the Hong Kong French toast was out of this world! Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Cantonese cuisine.

Been before several time, mainly takeaway but when and got a take out yesterday and the food was full of grease and fat and the amount of was like a mini portion compare to previous visit. Very disappointed, will be very reluctant to give it another try:((

Popped in for some lunch. Really fancied 'cha chan teng' sort of lunch and this is the only place that we found in the area. Place seemed busy, servers a bit busy so took a bit long to take our orders/drinks, but forgivable :) We had baked pork chip rice, beef satay ho fun, and chicken wings. 2x hk style teas. All delicious. Chicken wings were a bit too well done for my liking though. Really missed the hk style tea. And was served nice and piping hot. Was worried as a previous reviewer had said it was served lukewarm. But ours didn't disappoint. Also added a bottle of coke at the end. Total came to 44.90. Was a bit dear but then again so is everything else these days. Was a nice lunch and would visit this place again when visiting Manchester. Toilets were clean. Easy to find parking in the area also. Above review is from early 2023. Now August 2024, we have visited again, like we said we would. Food still fantastic. Staff attentive. Food arrived quickly. This time we had 3 roast crispy noodles, baked pork chop rice, chicken thigh with scallion sauce/rice/egg. They were also doing a special deal where you spend over £50 you can to select another dish for £1. We chose the soya chicken. Everything absolutely delicious. Still one of my fave places to go when visiting Manchester. Changed my 4 star service to 5 star as i really did have fantastic service this time round.

10% service charge but not turning on the air con when the restaurant is crowded.
