Happy Seasons in Manchester

Simply put: excellent food, outstanding service, and a wonderful atmosphere. Quite possibly one of the best Chinese restaurants in Manchester.

Bus busy busy but the food is just SOOO gooooood.

The food here is incredible. As someone who lives with a peanut allergy it was quite frustrating though. We ordered the Trio of Roast meats, I was told the chicken was not safe as it may contain peanuts. This was also the case with the Sichuan chicken. I often eat things that ‘may contain nuts’ as this if often a safety blanket used in factories to cover for cross contamination. I asked what the ingredient was that May contain, they were unable to tell me. This meant we ended up with a lot less food than we initially ordered. I completely understand that they don’t want customers becoming unwell in their restaurant. But more work needs to be done around allergens and ingredients that definitely contain them. That way customers and staff would feel more confident.

It's OK. I don't know what all the fuss was about to be honest and why people queue for ages to get a table. Food was nice. Not exceptional. Its the same as any other Chinese restaurant in town. The service is a bit slow and it's quite crammed in there. You feel like you're sitting on top.of each other. It's over priced too. Portion sizes are good. Its a bit like being in a school canteen. They use way too much MSG in the food too. I was ill immediately after.

We always go back to Happy Seasons for the delicious food, it’s definitely worth waiting in line for. We especially enjoy the Sui Mai, crispy belly pork and salt and pepper ribs.

Very fast service. Had the roast duck and pork belly with rice. Was nice but a bit over priced.

Delicious BBQ food, Best in UK👌🏼

Truly worth the wait outside for the best Chinese and duck!

Very disappointed with the dishes. First of all, there was no grill this evening, so we had to eat dishes with sauce. For chicken curry with very very sticky sauce and chicken in very thin strips with half an onion. The other dish shared pork chow mein also sticky pork meat in strips with a strong smell. For pork rools not good quality. Cleanliness of the place to review especially the heating and flooring. A 10% tip is imposed on the bill. So be careful to always add the tip even on the menu.

In the past, my friends and I often came here for dinner, but a few days ago, we encountered discrimination here. We waited in line at the door at 12:00, but it didn't open until 12:05. They were very unpunctual. After informing us that there were three of us, another friend and I came in and were about to take a seat to order. Suddenly, a female waiter told us to wait outside the door, because one of our friends was still on the way. They refused to serve us and insisted on leaving the restaurant, even if we asked if the two of us could use meal. I‘ve never met such a rude waiter, which is disgusting. Therefore, I will never come here for dinner again, because of the terrible service and the extremely mean waiter.（And with such poor service quality, they also force a 10% tip.）

10years since I've been back and the standard, food, service has dropped terribly. They wanted to charge GBP2 for chilli oil. The travesty! This is what I call a DLLM cha chan teng. Come here if you want the authentic HK experience - getting screwed and spat on in your food.

Good food quick service All round a good time

LOVELY STAFF and amazing food!! Definitely a place you have to visit if you enjoy Chinese food.

Great classic cantonese dishes- and big portions! Love the roast duck and crispy noodles especially

The authentic duck dish is just mouth watering and is a must try.

Waited for 35 minutes on a cold wet Friday evening - BUT it was worth it ! The food is delicious and every cent the hype it has. Service is quick and efficient. Pork char Sui was stunning along with stir fry morning glory. Kids enjoyed prawn toast and crispy noodles.

A Taste of Perfection at Happy Seasons, Manchester Chinatown If you’re a social media foodie or a Manchester local, chances are you’ve heard of Happy Seasons, the legendary spot in Chinatown famed for its Chinese roast meats. With queues constantly snaking out the door, it has become a must-visit destination for food lovers. But does it live up to the hype? Having heard so much about this place, we decided to get there early, knowing the reputation it holds. By 11:15, there were already a few groups gathering outside. When the doors finally opened at midday, the queue stretched around the corner—a testament to its popularity. Inside, the restaurant is no-frills, with service that is as fast as it is efficient. We wasted no time and ordered the food that included: 1. Won ton soup 2. Fried chicken wings 3. Minced chicken with lettuce wraps 4. The famous Hong Kong-style 3-meat roast platter (roast duck, crispy belly pork, and BBQ char siu pork) 5. A side of egg fried rice The Dishes: A Mixed Bag with a Standout Star! First, the won ton soup. While the won tons themselves were decent, the soup base was lackluster—lacking the depth of flavor you’d expect from such a staple dish. Next, the minced chicken with lettuce wraps. While fresh and vibrant, it fell short on seasoning, leaving us wanting more punch. But then came the fried chicken wings.......a total game changer. Perfectly cooked with a crispy exterior and juicy, flavorful meat, they were an absolute delight. And then… the pièce de résistance, the Hong Kong-style 3-meat roast platter. Words almost fail me here. The combination of crispy pork, tender BBQ char siu pork, and succulent roast duck was nothing short of perfection. I’ve had countless versions of this dish in numerous places, but Happy Seasons delivered something extraordinary. It was, hands down, the best I’ve ever tasted. If anything, I wish we’d ordered a double portion, it was that good. Final Thoughts. While the starters were hit and miss, the main event the roast meats more than justified the buzz surrounding Happy Seasons. Every bite of the Hong Kong-style 3-meat roast was worth the wait in line and the hype it commands. At £56 for four people, this meal offers excellent value for the quality and flavor on display. If you’re a fan of Chinese roast meats, this is an experience you simply cannot miss. It's enough to convert a vegan to a full on carnivore! Rating: 9/10 The slightly underwhelming won ton soup and lettuce wraps knock it down a point, but for the roast meats alone, Happy Seasons is a solid gold recommendation. Get there early, come hungry, and prepare for one of the best meals you’ll have in Manchester. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Although there was a queue outside, we were taken in pretty fast. The service is really good,the food the same. If again in Manchester for sure will come back. The shredded duck was simply divine, something that I never tried before but it’s simply awesome.

Great food as long you don't mind the wait to get in

Kind of pricey, but it was a good dish and the staff was very polite and helpfull. Gave 4 stars instead of 5, cause of the 10% 'service costs' they add on the bill. It's up to the customer to decide to tip or not, and how much.

Very authentic hk style roast pork and ducks. We totally enjoyed the generous serving of three meat rice for 13.8 pounds! Pics taken when we were half way through cos too hungry to remember the pics haha

A bit tiny space but looks like very popular. My first meal taken here when arriving late. Duck dish is good but I don’t quite to get the idea of using microwave to warm up. I assumed too many people and it was prepared ahead for that purpose. But still the food is delicious and the portion is large in my opinion and with reasonable price.

Esperamos unos 40 minutos en la cola. La comida no vale la pena el bombo, en realidad es completamente promedio. ¡Juntas como sardinas y nunca volveré!

Had a wonderful experience here this evening. Amazing food and atmosphere, who highly recommend 👌 😀

The King Prawn Chow Mein with Fried Noodles was decent, but left a bit to be desired for the price. The dish had a generous portion of prawns, which were cooked well and had a satisfying, fresh texture. However, the noodles could have been more flavourful—they felt somewhat bland and didn't quite live up to the expectations set by the price tag. While the presentation of the dish was pleasing and the prawns stood out as the highlight, the overall taste didn't justify the cost. Considering the numerous other options available, this particular meal felt overpriced for what it offered. If you’re in the area and craving Chinese cuisine, it’s a fair choice, but be prepared to spend a bit more than the taste might warrant. Perhaps exploring other dishes on their menu could offer better value for money.

🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘: “My visit to Happy Season Chinese Restaurant was truly disappointing. The waiting time was awful, and the dining experience itself didn’t get any better. Customer service was poor, and the prices felt like overcharges. I ordered a dish expecting it to come with rice, but they charged extra for the rice separately, which seemed misleading. To top it off, I could see into the kitchen, and I saw them warming food in a microwave. That’s not what I expect from a restaurant, especially when waiting so long for a table. I had high hopes, especially after the wait, but the food quality and service made it clear that this place isn’t worth it. If you’re looking for good Chinese food, I’d strongly suggest going somewhere else.” 🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘

I visited here for roasted duck. Food is good. 2nd visit for take away still Service is extremely rude. 10 percent service charges for dine in seems like paying for extra food cost. Think twice before dine here. Buy your food and go or opt for others restaurant, plenty restaurant in Manchester central giving good service. Why spoil your mood for dining. Big NO.

Honestly the worst Chinese meal I've ever had. Dry, bland, and unsatisfying. The food was terrible and the atmosphere was bad on account of the clinical white lighting. However, the service was excellent so there is that. Would not recommend, so many better options nearby.

Amazing service and super quick, incredible food! Absolutely recommend.

Yeah you have to queue. Really don’t get why people do so. I was dragged here by a guy who thought queue = good. It’s fine. But really don’t bother joining the queue

We tried today after seeing this place on tik tok, food was average nothing special at all and the service was shocking the lady that was serving us made us feel so unwelcome not a single smile in site safe to say I won’t be returning.

Queued for about 15 mins but it was at lunch time

Been wanting to try for a long time. Was it worth queuing for an hour to get in? Probably not. Would I go again? Yes it was pleasant enough. But not sure why there's such a hype. We tried the meats and although tasty, found the pork tough and "springy". The crispy chilli beef was probably the best dish we ordered.

AVOID. I’ll start by saying 3/4 items we bought were fine and as ordered. However the entire experience was awful. One waitress was incredibly rude (slim, taller, ponytail). It started when my friend asked for separate bills and she was sighing at her and questioning her. Then, my friend ordered a type of rice and went to change her mind the waitress then stopped writing and was acting annoyed waiting for her to decide, which stopped my friend choosing what she wanted. I then ordered my food and asked what seafood it contained. The waitress told me it was “prawns and squid for the seafood” I said ok only prawns, no squid please. Then when the food came, I mentioned we were sharing things and again we were questioned about this despite being friends having a meal together. When my dish came out it was not as expected, something was not right, my friend tried an item as I could not tell what it was, it was sliced fish balls, despite me saying I only wanted prawns & meat, no other seafood. The dish had a few random bits of meat but for the price it was not worth the money and I could not eat it. When I told the waitress, the shorter lady was kind and apologised and the taller, rude lady said “what do you want us to do about it?” “Why did you not mention it before?” I was simply making them aware that I asked what seafood is in the dish and then got given something I did not ask for / was not informed about. I did not mention it earlier as no one checked in or even looked in our tables direction the entire time, so I gave up at this point. Myself and my friend spent £61 for a mediocre Chinese and the rudest service I have ever experienced. The shorter lady apologised and I’m grateful for that but the other waitress was so disrespectful and outright rude to paying customers, I would never return or spend another penny of my money here.

Moved from London seven years ago and struggle to find a good Chinese found this place and I was so happy I regularly used to go here to treat myself spending about £50 to £60 on myself, and that’s just because you can’t get small portions and I like to try a different different things anyway the last time I went there with my friend I was so disappointed my food was cold just wasn’t the best quality The squid wasn’t crispy at all and my triple Owe Me was stone cold but the lady said that’s how they serve it anyway I wasn’t happy because before I’ve been there and it was warm don’t think I’ll be returning there. Need to find a new place Some staff are okay there is one nice,. Honesty need a bigger venue. And one time they made me wait for triple roast me as I got in after a half an hour away they told me it was sold out that was very annoying

I recently visited Happy Seasons and had a highly disappointing experience. I ordered a whole duck, but when my order arrived, it was clearly not a whole duck. When I pointed this out to the staff, they were rude and dismissive, which only added to my frustration. When I pay for a whole duck (which isn’t cheap I might add) I expect a whole duck. I expect better service and quality when dining out. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning to this restaurant.

Insanely good, the roast duck and fried rice was so good. Served by Joy, she was so lovely and accommodating. Cant wait to come back here and try new things! 💕

Some of the best Chinese food I have ever had

Llamé al restaurante con antelación ya que iba a una comida de cumpleaños. Les pregunté si comían sin MSG, ya que soy intolerante a él. Dijeron que había platos que hacían sin MSG y me dijeron algunos platos que podía tener. Cuando llegué al restaurante me dijeron que no había nada que pudiera tener sin MSG, excepto arroz y verduras mixtas. Me dijeron que toda la carne ya está en MSG. Así que fue horrible y no pude comer con el resto de la fiesta. Tuve que ir a otro lado y comer solo. El restaurante seguía diciendo que debo haber llamado a otro restaurante con el mismo nombre, definitivamente no lo hice, llamé al restaurante en Manchester. Solo para añadir insulto a la lesión cuando volví al restaurante después de haber tenido que comer en otro lugar me enteré de que todas las bebidas habían sido retiradas del menú como un gesto de buena voluntad. No había pedido una bebida, esto me lo habían hecho y sin embargo no se me ofreció ningún gesto de buena voluntad de ningún tipo.

Sehr authentisches chinesisches Restaurant im Chinatown Manchester. Beliebt bei Locals, Touristen und Asiaten. Wartezeit einberechnen. Wir hatten Suppe. Dim Sum und zu zweit eine Viertel Ente. Die war Mega. Sehr lecker.

Duck was delicious, and good value for money. The salt and pepper prawns were nice but way too expensive (I think like £17?). Will be going back for the duck!

Absolutely great food. This does not look as upmarket as some of the local restaurants, but the food does all the talking.

The staff were really friendly and patient as we took time to order. Even gave us options of how the food could arrive. Food was excellent when it arrived, large portions the arrived quickly. We all left full and happy Thank you happy seasons

Awful experience! Terrible bland service and food not much better! Not one bit welcoming or friendly!

I'm really not sure what all the fuss is about with this place. Overpriced cafe style restaurant. Basic decor and miserable staff. Crispy belly pork, boiled rice. Chinese tea and a bottle of water £24.95

Very poor for allergens/dietary restrictions. The server was rude about this also. A shame as the food was fantastic

Cenaron aquí un domingo a la hora del almuerzo después de esperar en la cola durante 20 minutos (buena señal! ) Ambiente zumbante, servicio amable y deliciosa comida. Las costillas de repuesto de Salt & Pepper y el pato cantonés asado donde los platos destacan para mí.

Foods amazing. Never had Thai. The service is great but was a bit slow at start.

No frills in regards to the layout and decor of the restaurant, but it is clean - Mum even noticed how clean the menus were, it's a bugbear of hers. Quite clinical and not as homely as some Chinese restaurants can be, but it's all about the food. And the food was really good! Not perfect and proportions were all different, but very tasty and would definitely go back for more

Came here to pick up a quick Hong Kong 3 roast rice (char sui, roast duck, crispy roast pork) takeaway to go to the hotel. It was very good and very crispy. Highly recommended!

He querido intentarlo durante un tiempo, así que cuando terminamos en Manchester un sábado por la noche sin planes, convencí a mi marido para que se uniera a la cola! Esperamos unos 25 minutos a las 7: 30 lo cual era perfectamente aceptable para nosotros. Todo lo que probamos era delicioso - teníamos envolturas de lechuga de pollo, pinchos satay , pato barbacoa , huevo arroz frito , fideos y bistec chispeante en salsa de pimienta. Mucha comida, pero nos envasaron felizmente las sobras y sabían aún mejor al día siguiente. Estoy de acuerdo con los comentarios sobre el vino - me tomé una copa y cambié a una cerveza embotellada para una segunda bebida que era mucho mejor. Yo diría que si disfrutas de la comida realmente decente y bien cocinada ignora los comentarios negativos e intenta por ti mismo. Ya planeamos nuestro regreso para probar más del verdadero menú

This has to be Manchester's best Chinese food restaurant. Completely understated, looks slightly like a cafe but the food is outstanding. You do have to queue to get a table, but it is definitely worth it.

Amazing Chinese food! Highly recommend! We tried the prawns in Schezwan gravy, Singapore Vermicelli noodles and Chicken with Hakka noodles. Everything was delicious.

We have come back here many times now and the food is always incredible.

Love this place, been many times and it never disappoints. This is my favourite place in Chinatown.

Delicious food and highly recommend coming for Chinese. Ordered the crispy duck, beef in vermicelli and satay sauce and the shredded pork noodles with added chilli and garlic. Came as a recommendation from the other half’s work colleagues and they didn’t disappoint. Not a fancy place at all and could do with making the look nicer but the food is excellent for sure.

Ordered a vegetarian “mock” chicken and got served a real one. Didn’t realise till 3 bites in and thought sod it and ate my friend’s duck along with it. great meat courses. thankfully I’ve only tried to be vegetarian for a few months

Pork was too salty and the duck had a sour taste. Noodles overcooked and tasteless.

Stood waiting in the shop for 20 minutes. Asked for 2 portions of chips 1 peas 1 gravy. He made me wait an extra 10 minutes to finish adding to a delivery order so there wasn't enough chips to make mine. I waited for a fresh portion to then be given the overcooked dry ones at the bottom. I refused to accept it as I seen what he did and he shouted at me telling me to wait then. Really unnecessary confrontation at a chip shop because they have a few orders. Manners cost nothing these days

The best chinese food restaurant so far

Authentic and tasty Chinese food. Friendly and quick service. No queue when we were there, we were lucky ;-). Not to be missed!

It’s super delicious. I tried their XO sauce fried rice a few days ago. It’s very fragrant and delicious. The roast duck rice we took out this time was also great. You can still eat crispy duck skin when you get back to the dormitory It’s hard to imagine how great it would be to eat there Very good restaurant, gave me something to eat in the UK

It indicates that the closing time is one but 1 hour before they stop serving people. I specifically went from my hotel to eat there 30 minutes before it closed and they wouldn't let me in. Edit: I went the next day and the FOOD was a SUCCESS. The food was delicious! At the door there was a long queue that made me wait for almost half an hour (luckily I arrived in time) but it was worth it!!

I'm no talking rubbish to you all. But go and try this place. Believe me the food was on point. The meat fell apart in your mouth. I wish I got more pictures but the food smelt amazing and I just digged in. Highly recommend and will be returning soon to try more of the menu.

There was quite of a line but it quickly speeded up. The service it's also very quick! The food is great, very tasty! Recommending the wonton soup and the stir fried rice with the prawns!

The roast duck is delicious, and the cabbage core is really numb... The service attitude of the short-haired Hong Kong lady is so good👍🏻

Had heard good things about this restaurant and the queue outside was encouraging. As I was on my own, I was seated quickly and drinks order was also taken quickly. I would have liked to have had the the mixed starter for one but is only available for two people so ordered that and a sweetcorn and crabmeat soup. I live on the coast where crab is readily available and no restaurant here would get away with this blatantly incorrect description as the soup contained seafood sticks and was bland. The starters were not really any better - nice prawn toasts (2), ribs were very salty (4), crispy seaweed was over crisp, pancake rolls were ordinary (2). Total bill was almost £27 including a diet coke bur also a 10% service charge is automatically added. Fortunately the service was good and this was this places only redeeming factor. I don't know if there are better Chinese restaurants in Manchester but if I go back, I certainly wouldn't go here again.

I’m a huge huge fan of Happy Seasons often however this is the first I’m going to put a bad review mainly because of the pathetic service from the staff. I understand it’s not a fine dine restaurant but anyone who goes out for dinner with their family and friends would like to have nice time and not rush into things and act like a Robot because that’s what the staff makes you do. Happy seasons is always busy of course because of the excellent food they serve but that doesn’t mean one customer has to eat faster because restaurants has other customers in queue. Every customer is after all paying the money for the meal they are having. I was there with my family and we’re served main course before our soup and starters when we not only requested but the law of dinning says have soup and starters first and then meal. When we requested again to serve starters first, the lady from the staff arrogantly told that ‘there’s a long queue of customers and we don’t want to waste time. Soup and starters will take time to cook so have main course first’. Disgusting it is. When we’re giving food order to that staff lady, she was in so rush and didn’t even let us think or take time to go through the menu and even when we’re asking about the food delicacy or the ingredients or the spice level etc. she was rude and didn’t seem to be interested in responding. When we requested not to pour the additional salt that they do on top of cooked salt and pepper chicken, She very rudely and arrogantly replied saying ‘how do you know if we pour salt on top of it you can’t even see what our Chef’s do downstairs in the kitchen’ we said it’s not our first time here we love salt and pepper chicken it’s just that the additional crystal salt on top of chicken is too much. She still didn’t acknowledge it and said ‘yeah will see’. I felt like customers aren’t welcomed there even after paying for it. Very disappointing really. Overall feedback is serve your customers who are sitting already and eating well rather reminding them or making them feel that there are other customers in the queue. We don’t go to happy seasons to think about other customers because that’s not what I’m paying for rather I’m paying for the food and the service.

Food was great as usual but the service from one of the staff is insane. I was speaking to her nicely but all i got was she increasing her volume on me and even sighing me, this was not my first time here at the restaurant but i was so excited to bring my parents tonight as the food is always good to me but thanks to her i would not be going back anymore as she ruined our experience and whats worse is that we are charged for the service despite she was so rude to us and when i ask if she can recommend me a vegetable dish but all i get is ‘I dont know what you want’. And as she was mixing both english and cantonese and mandarin when we were ordering, hence i thought she is comfortable with all three language and i ask kindly if she can explain what type of roast meat left in the restaurant to my parents, but she was calling me racist for that and judging her based on her accent which is a joke because she was literally speaking a mix of chinese and cantonese as well and when i was ordering my meal, i said nicely that i wanted two roast meat which one is rice and one is change to noodle, she wrote down just one roast meat with noodle and one plain rice hence i didnt meet the requirement of 12 pound per person but i did not know that becuz i clearly told her i wanted two roast meat and was ask nicely why didnt it meet the requirement, but she was sighing and shouting at me pointing at her paper and said ‘did u want mandarin, why cant u read this and understand what i have wrote on the paper’. This is beyond disgusting and i just wanna say if she is having a bad day or is just born impatient, maybe please consider other jobs becuz customer service is clearly not her calling. If only i can give 0 star for this disgusting and inhuman service. 🤢

This was a great dining experience....worth waiting for....we chose the banquet option and each course was delicious. Service was exceptional.....certainly our best meal in Chinatown

Nice Chinese restaurant in China town. Visited this place at 8:30 pm but still be the long line there. Waiting for approx 20 min till we stepped inside. By the way , the food was serving quite fast so this made us feel better while we were so hungry. Definitely try their fried noodles with the great wok we can smell! This was my top choice. BBQ pork was good but the belly part already gone so the part we took not soft enough.

Not the fanciest looking Restaurant in China Town, but probably the best food. Great service. In and out reasonably quickly

Roast Duck is a must try. Other dishes are close to home cooked food as it can be. Fairly priced.

Very typical HK BBQ style food, no surprise to me, but the waitress’s attitude is even cooler than HK based waiters/waitresses which is very surprising to me. Very much to hope that their attitude is not because of us to order only BBQ food with rice not being like those valuable local UK guests doing.

A no frills kind of place, with excellent food & quick, friendly service. Very reasonably priced too, I've been a couple of times before & will definitely go again ( & again)

Such a great place, staff are so friendly and happy. Love going here. Everything is cooked fresh and tasty. The chicken wings, prawn toast and chicken, lettuce wraps are to die for. Thanks ever so much for another great meal. See you again soon ❤️

This place can get very busy as is rather small. However, I sat in to have one dish, mix seafood chow mein (£15.50). It was presented super-fast, and the welcome was friendly. The dish was excellent, amazing. However, I did not realise that my request for chili oil (a small dipping sauce bowl) would be charged at £1 on the bill. This is a condiment but was listed on the menu. I take umbrage to this, and no one else does it. Then a 10% service charge (for laying down one plate) was quite a mercenary £1.65. I voiced my feedback and said I would include it in my review. Next time, I'll go to the nearby supermarket and buy a 110g jar for £2 rather than 2 teaspoons for £1.

Excellent food with generous servings! Loved the sweet and sour chicken the most - a must have when you’re there! Looking forward to returning

Food okay. Rude staffs. Won't go there again as many choices out there with nicer services.

Best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to

I ordered half a roast duck to be taken away. I wasn’t very happy about cutting corners. It's not fresh at all. The meat is plum-like and soft, like it's made from frozen duck and has been stored for three days and sold to you overnight. I'm so disappointed. I bought it in the past and it was of good quality. What happened now?

The short, ugly man who chopped up the roasted duck at the door had a very bad attitude towards the customers. He was ugly and had a very bad attitude! Every time, the customer was given a shriveled roast duck that was burnt and blackened. The customer would not change it if he asked for it. The short and ugly man kept scolding him: If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don’t buy it, throw it away. Anyway, you don’t care? Are you looking down on others while scolding them? If this restaurant doesn't replace the short, ugly man who chops up the roasted duck, sooner or later all the customers will run out and the store will close down...

We saw the queues for this place all day and decided to give it a try despite the mixed reviews. So glad we did because it was beautiful, the food was so tasty, fresh and not greasy at all. Authentic Chinese place with no frills. Staff were friendly, couldn’t have asked for more. Will definitely return when back in Manchester.

Bit of a wait to be seated but took that as a good sign. Had some dim sum and mixed chow mein which had great taste and many flavours.

Stumbled upon a culinary treasure in Manchester's Chinatown! This spot serves up authentic Cantonese delights that'll have you drooling. The beef brisket claypot is a must-try, tender and flavorful, while the char siew is sinfully succulent. Don’t skip the roast duck; it’s fragrant and perfectly crispy. A real gem for those craving genuine Cantonese flavors!

A rough and ready Chinese restaurant large portions extremely delicious and happy staff! Worth the wait if you’re queuing!

After being recommended multiple times I tried this place, and honestly it was bang average and pretty bland I got crispy chilli beef and it wasn't better than my local 🙃

Long queue 40 mins but worth it for the food.

I went to see what the hype was about since they are the most busiest in China Town and heavily reviewed on tiktok I some what felt slightly cheated I have had better Chinese food the portions are decent I will say but its not cheap either I think you get a better value for money if your attend with others. The staff are attentive and provide good customer service I just think the food is over hyped The duck was My favourite the salt and pepper ribs was mid and overall everything else was mid . Doubt I would return and if I did it will be for the duck only.

This is the worse dining experience I have ever had. The staff was so rude, they literally told my friend that she can eat but I can’t, even though she wasn’t able to finish her food. they said she can’t share her food with me. And when she requested them that she can’t finish her food they started making fun and gossiping with other staff in front of us saying that we want to share our food. It was so humiliating that me and my friend had to left our food and leave the restaurant.

This is my favourite place in China town Manchester. The food taste so so good and authentic taste. The place always full with customer especially Chinese people so l garanteed that you won't be dissapointed. Highly recommend Char siu pork and crispy pork belly.

rude customer service, couldn't even finish food because felt too uncomfortable so we left

This can be a busy place so you can spend some time waiting for a table. Their duck it really delicious. I would definitely come there again and I can recommend this place.

Very busy as always, waited no more than 5 minutes, then was seated. No fuss. Just delicious food. Big servings Chicken Chow Mein with crispy noodles and Special thick rice noodles. 3 Meat Roast with rice and Beef with thick rice noodles

Decided to visit Chinatown on a Saturday evening. There was a queue outside but we saw that as a good sign. After about a 20 minute wait we got a table. Ordered duck, which was very nice, and salt and pepper spare ribs, which were a little too salty for us. Main course of chicken and beef was really good. Helpings were very generous. Would definitely recommend as somewhere reasonably cheap and very tasty.

Perfect food every time I’m in Manchester I only use this place in chi town , never fails me , staff are friendly and prices reasonable, salt and pepper king prawns are the best in the country!!

Best Duck I ever had. Even better than London’s. Avoid the Chinese Spinach.
