My family and I visited here yesterday and although it was not busy for a Saturday lunchtime, a lot of the big tables were taken. Staff were friendly and service were efficient. I have not been here on a Sunday or any other days for comparison. As a foodie who travelled up from Birmingham to eat here, I was impressed with the freshness and quality of the food. We had a variety of different food from dim sum, 3 meats with rice to special crispy noodles. I wish that this was restaurant near me ! I am left with wanting to eat there again soon hahah. Bit too far to drive up every week.

Consistently good Chinese food. Many Chinese people eat here which I always consider to be a recommendation. They offer a full menu of 'western' dishes like sweet and sour chicken, as well as traditional plates and dim sum which I personally prefer. I realise that intestines, chili tripe and chicken feet won't suit everyone, but there are plenty of alternatives.

If you’re a foodie like me, you’ll love this place! The menu has a fantastic selection of dishes, and we love everything we tried. We only had good comments about the food. My family and I have been coming to Glamorous for years and it’s a firm favourite of ours. I can’t wait to come back again!

A very good place to have dim sum and lunch. Prices are among the lowest for Manchester Chinese restaurant. Good value for money if you really like Cantonese or Chinese style food. Ample parking spaces for car and free parking. Basement car park only 90 minutes.

The quality of the food is not bad, and it has the feel of an old-style estate restaurant. It is rare to see the Dragon and Phoenix Auditorium, which is rarely seen in Hong Kong, and it brings back many memories.

Stir fried soft noodles with bean sprouts - even the cheapest takeaway gets this better; stale noodles and the bean sprouts are barely to be seen! You’re charging £11,80 for this dish!!! Glamorous start taking your customers seriously. We spent nearly £60 on takeaway tonight, half of the food is barely edible. Shame. We won’t be returning anytime soon!

They have picked the wrong victim. Today 4/4/2024 I bought some take away Chinese roast pork also known as char sui. I was looking forward to go there hoping I could get some authentic decent char sui but when I got home I put the pork on the chopping board all I can see was a large piece of fat on one side and when I turn it to the other side there wasn’t much lean meat on the other side either! This wasn’t just the reason why I was so disappointed, it was not made in a professional method, it looks like they just simply add some red colouring, some flavouring and syrup onto the fat piece of pork then put it in the oven. It was not grilled, it didn’t smell or taste like char sui. Basically I paid £14 for a piece of fat, after taken out all the fat I was left with less than 50% of meat, as you can see the less fatty bits in a silver bowl. the fat will have to go in the bin! Is pretty much selling fake goods. Even if it was done in a traditional style and in good quality, still is not worth £14 for the weight and size. They used as little time, effort and ingredients as possible to make this piece of fat and expect me to think this is authentic roast pork. I am a 60 year old Chinese woman, I’ve had a lot of char sui in my life time, I know how char sui should look, smell and taste like and I also know how some people make non-authentic Chinese roast pork which isn’t how it should be. If you can’t buy authentic decent roast pork from a Chinese restaurant where can you? I will file a complaint today and demand for a refund, this is not acceptable. I will get legal advice and take it to court if need be. I called the restaurant yesterday 5/4/24 and asked for a refund, at first they offered give me another piece of fatty pork I told them NO THANK YOU, I will never enter that restaurant ever again, it looks anything but glamorous. That place need some serious renovation! However, they had no choice but to refund me the £14, they took my card details over the phone, let’s hope they won’t store my card details and help themselves with it, that would be class as fraud, I will definitely contact Action Fraud! I would highly RECOMMEND to my enemies but NOT to family and friends. They have a license to con!

Bad management. They do not care about their customers. I would strongly advise going to other Chinese Restaurants or Supermarkets. Watch out for parking scams, the security guy will wait for you to park and go inside, then put cones around your parking bay. I came back out to get a bag and saw him do it, he then accused me of moving the cones to park in that spot! Then he said if I don’t like parking here then go park elsewhere?! There’s a sign which states customer parking on the brick wall! He got aggressive when I told him to check the CCTV and we will see who moved the cones where I already parked! He started calling me dumb and pointed fingers at my face, so I got my phone out for my safety and evidence. Other reviewers got a parking fine but I was not letting him get away with this trick on me!

A favourite dim sum stop on our way to Scotland from ‘down south’. It takes a bit of fine tuning set-off times to catch the lunch service, but worth every brain cell expended in the process. The adjacent free parking cements the deal. A satisfyingly wide range of dim sum items; with fresh usual suspects roasted meats (duck, pork belly, char siu etc) as well as good popular veg dishes in Gai Lan, morning glory and even pea shoots when in season.

The food at the Glamorous Restaurant is superb - and the service we had was really swift, polite and attentive. The restaurant is built into a car-park and lots of the windows face out into it….but here’s the thing…. The tables are circular. The idea is you look at your fellow diners. You chat, you enjoy superb food, you pay and you leave. This won’t be the place for fashionistas who want to insta their surroundings. But if you want a great selection of beautiful dim sum, you will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back. Best dim sum we’ve had in Manchester to date and by far the loveliest staff.

Eaten here a few times and had good experiences. However in this occasion we asked to change our order due to the description being ambiguous, after this we were treated completely differently, we ignored for the rest of the evening. Asked for the bill sat for 15 minutes waiting for it to arrive, baring in mind there was only a few other tables and double the amount of staff. Ended up walking out as the bill never came and neither did our oranges and melon which everyone else received as soon as their table was cleared. Severed walked past, several times and blatantly ignored us. We told the manger and he didn’t even respond, ignored once again.

Went for takeout and found out that the takeout menu is no the same price as to sit in and eat. Used to be 30% discount off main menu prices for takeout. When questioned the lady on the till said it is cheaper as you do not have to pay the 10% too they add on automatically. Even when service is bad. Unbelievable . . . Won't be getting takeout again from here as you can get the same for less than half the price. I paid nearly £50 for 3 chicken and blackbean mains and 1 egg fried rice.

Good place to have dim sum in Manchester overall. The decorations are classic, giving the throwback feeling of early 2000s Guangdong. The staff are friendly as well, very Cantonese style indeed. As a native Cantonese, the food is only average for me. Probably because we arrived too late around 2, the porridge we ordered might be the last bit of the portion so it was lack of textures already. In addition, the fried dough sticks were really hard, I don’t think it was freshly baked. The custard tart was ok, the custard taste great. But its puff pastry can be improved. The chow mein was only an average, I guess I cannot ask more. Overall, worth a try. But it might not be the go-to dim sum place for me.

Service is quick and accurate. Dim sum are all above average, can see some very rare and traditional dim sum here. 乳豬is also served, it is very rare in the uk, and the skin is very crispy. It can be a little bit more hot, and the price is really high, a dish for £33, which is a bit exaggerated(?) but it is rare so decided to give it a try and did not disappoint.

Had read a fair few mixed reviews and hadn't been here in a while. When we went in at 4.30pm it wasn't very busy either and the restaurant is huge. But the waitresses were very attentive and brought us tea and we got a good table by the window. We were just in time for the dim sum menu and ordered half a dozen various steamed dumplings and buns. We also got spring rolls, crab cakes, deep fried king prawn parcels and some chicken feet. As there were 8 of us we also ordered some rice plates with pork and duck, some beef ho fun and some some fillet beef in ok sauce. And some tripe. Didn't try that. Everything was fresh, tasty and very authentic. We used to come here on a sunday when the the waitresses pushed trolleys with dim sum from table to table. I think covid saw an end to that which is a shame as that's how they serve dim sum in Hong Kong and it was always fun choosing unexpected items from the trolleys. Still, the meal we ordered was great and there was plenty for everyone. We got some complimentary red bean soup as a dessert too. The waitress for our table earned her tip. When we finished it was starting to fill up with people in suits finishing work and chinese families. A good meal and a lovely evening. Planning to return for dim sum one sunday especially as there is free parking.

Overpriced and rubbish service. We were early and one of the first people in the restaurant for lunch. We ordered two items on their specials menu (yam croquettes and savoury meat croquettes) and after all our other food came out and we'd eaten it, we asked about it and they said oh we've run out now. They definitely had loads when we ordered. We'd asked two different people by the time they bothered to check. The first lady just said okay and went to a different table. They didn't seem to care that we didn't get what we ordered and didn't apologise. We took off the discretionary 10% service charge but tbh I was shocked that they had the audacity to leave it on with the service the gave us.

Don't bother. Made a booking 3 weeks in advance and you'd think we'd turned up unannounced. Table was cleared of all traditional table settings and left with napkins and forks, we had to ask for chopsticks and bowls to be replaced. Asked to order drinks and food at the same time, when ordering dim-sum, we weren't told that it was ordered per portion and not by piece so ended up ordering a ridiculous amount of food. Food was okay but nothing special, the bill came and was rounded up a lot to more than than the 10% service charge but as the bill was in chinese it was difficult to dispute. Far more welcoming places in China Town with better food and friendlier service. Read the reviews, even the Chinese don't rate this place.

Their dishes vary in presentation depending on the chef, but one thing always remains certain; their food is DELICIOUS. Stick to Cantonese cuisine & you can't go wrong with ordering.

I took my friend to this place for his birthday, he chose it not me. To be honest it was a plan B because the wait time for a table at Sakura was to long. Within two minutes of sitting down i wanted to leave but my friend did not want to walk into town so we stayed because it was his birthday and i wanted him to be happy. I last went to this restraunt approximately 12 years ago because i was shooting a chinese wedding there. The decor looked exactly the same today as it was then which was a cause of concern. The staff were rude. The menu came in 3 or 4 parts and was extremely confusing. They did not supply us with a knife to eat with so i ate with a spoon and my hand. The food was grossly over priced and the plate it came on was not clean. I saw staff standing on chairs with their dirty shoes on in order to take photos of there customers and they were constantly passing us by with overfilled trolleys containing waste. At the end of this challenging meal the waitres insited on a tip and being paid in cash but i resisted and paid with a card. WHY DID SHE INSIST ON BEING PAID IN CASH? I was so keen to get out of this horrible place that i didnt reaIise had been over charged by approximately £10. As they did not provide me with a reciept i was unable to go back in and challenge them on this. I am not sure if i would have anyway because it was my friends birthday and i didnt want to make a fuss or embarrass him. I paid £16.95 or £18.95 for a bowl of boiled rice and duck and it was mostly rice, very dry and had zero flavour. If you care about food and the people that work hard to make it and serve it to you go somewhere else and do yourself and them a favour. This place was horrible I will never go there again. I dont care if it's a birthday a wedding or a funeral. Avoid it. Minus zero star rating.

Decent dim sum, good variety. However prices are quite high. Crowded restaurant on a weekend.

The food has gone down in quality alot. The dumplings tasted suspiciously like the ones I usually get from supermarket. The fried squid had a really thick batter. See picture of the seafood ho fun we ordered. That is all the seafood we got, I had to dig around to find anything. One prawn, one squid, half a scallop - seriously. They were completely understaffed and didn't refill teas and got our order wrong but I can understand that it was Fathers day. The food I can't forgive. We asked to get the bill twice and eventually had to go to the desk. We will be sticking with Tai Wu from now.

We visit Gamourous a lot as my partner and his family are Chinese so it's our go to place. I recommend the crispy chilli beef and sweet and sour chicken. I wouldn't go for the salt and pepper chips as they aren't very good.

Sadly this was our favourite Chinese restaurant we have visited many times over the years. We went with family which was their first visit our booking was at 7pm Sunday evening. Never go at that time ! Despite the restaurant being pretty empty we were seated at a table far too large for a party of six, we ordered the £39.50 banquet for 5, they embarrassingly struggled to accommodate our gluten free guest. It just felt we were served the dregs of their busy day, some of the food wasn’t hot enough, we even found it difficult to identify what some of the food was that we were eating, the service was very rushed, they just wanted to get us fed and out. We felt an inconvenience ! Some of us had to keep our coats on due to a strong draft through a door which we had to ask a number of times to be closed. Very disappointing especially when we received the hefty £270 bill.

Følte mig snydt, bliver spurgt om valg af tilbehør som om det hører med, det er oveni prisen. Bliver tvunget til at betale for borddækning på 10 %. Svindel.....

I must say this restaurant is our lucky charm, went for a meal before kick off when Man City were still behind Arsenal by 5 points and we were unstoppable ever since! Needed a win yesterday to the UCL final so I suggested the Glamorous again, and pheww we came out with a comfortable 4-0 win! Foodwise their roast duck was super tasty with perfectly roasted crispy skin. The cheese baked seafood rice was creamy and delicious. We will come again for a proper celebration when we win the treble!

Second time I've been this year and been disappointed with the quality of the dim sum. They also didn't have right baby changing facilities available for dads. Mum had difficulty with baby changing facility in the ladies toilets.

Went with a friend for lunch and couldn't be happier with the service and food. We ordered the £15.95 and £16.95 3 course lunch. Food was fresh and delicious, I particularly like the prawn toast and salt & pepper ribs. Waitress was attentive and welcoming. Free parking in the city centre is a bonus! Would definitely come again and try out some more.

I attend with my husband and family to a wedding banquet in a private room. It was very disappointing to say the least. Service was great but the quality of the food was shocking. The suckling pig was soft and cold. Everything seems to be cold for some reason but it wasn’t a big banquet as it was about 13-14 tables at most. The dessert platter was hard and didn’t have any taste to the pastries. We have been there so many many times and it’s always a hit and miss but this time it was definitely a miss. It’s such a shame as we love to support local businesses and hope that management gets involved and have a serious word with the kitchen staff as we all know management and kitchen is always a sensitive area with restaurant businesses.

10% fixed service charge but no service, as even bluntly said, hot water pot (i thought it's Cantonese style to wash your plate bowl chopsticks, but curiously strange not providing big Bowl to dump the used water, the other pot is not hot water but tea/还以为是免费招待茶,因为之前问喝啥茶,我回答可不可以不要茶,答曰可以,却是收费的茶) (even hot water pot 白开水也要收费的) will be billed/charged on top of 10% SC only after we asked clearly. We let them to take both hot water pot and tea pot (we had declined already to order tea before seating when they asked, but seems nobody passed that info of no tea as no training on staff. ) food is below acceptable for authentic Chinese stomach, some cooked with canned yellow peach (expecting pineapple ) with shrimp. One similar dish was provided but not the other one, either not available in kitchen (no notification to me so made decision by someone else, ) or the service staff put it wrong. in general, two much low bar cooking and serving staff. First time also the last time visit. BTW, see below pic by Chinese translation :9

Love the food but the prices have increase so high, way above inflation and they now also put 10% service charge on the bill. Service has always been poor but accepted that for the food. But to add it for no service quality is very cheeky. Even though I enjoy the food you have gone too far so will not be visiting again until you stop ripping Customers off. Just greedy😡

Rude staff, hygiene is questionable, and food is very sub standard. Prices are expensive for the standard you get

Used to go here regularly when it was the Wing Yip. Not been to Manchester fora few years and didn't know this restaurant had changed. Unfortunately the change has not been for the better. Won't be back.

Nothing new to add on what is already commented on the comments. It is very expensive for the quality of the service and food. For much cheaper you have much better options in Manchester. No recommend to anyone this restaurant.

Already been here for at least four times recently as I reckoned, had a great time with my family and friends, we really enjoyed the brilliant food and nice service here at Glamorous Chinese Restaurant. Much appreciate the great variety of authentic Chinese Dim Sum and traditional dishes, love the taste and nice portion, like the food overall so far, as we've tried quite a lot from the menu, from fried custard buns, prawn and vegetables dumplings, roast pork buns, siu long bao, steamed beef balls, siu mai, Chiu Chow style dumplings, steamed pork ribs with rice rolls!!

We went just after they opened at 12pm. The place filled up pretty quickly and the staff were quite busy taking orders and serving dim-sums. They offered 3 dim sums for £12 and we got we got 3 lots o
