跑馬地冰室（曼城） Happy Valley Hong Kong Style Cafe in Manchester

Authentic Hong Kong style food. Must go if you are home sick. Queue expected

Best place to dine. The YangChow fried rice is honestly the best in town along with coffee mixed with tea!

I've been there many times, and the quality has been maintained every time, especially the cup of frozen lemon tea, which is really my cup of tea👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Never have been so homesick after having dinner with Happy Valley!! I have ordered the fish there and they made a soy sauce in a nice way;) also I have tried the Red Bean soup which is famous in Hong Kong dessert ( traditional way ) and I can taste they have added “陳皮(chan pei)” a dried orange peels inside it!!! Which is very nice 👌🏼 and overall I have been there about twice now and I can say their food and service is excellent 💋 xxxx

Ordered 2 bowl of noodles for me and my friend. Mine was good because I ordered the add on sour and spicy soup. My friend's one was tasteless.

I had a great time at the restaurant—the food was delicious, and the service was excellent. However, an unfortunate incident occurred when I was leaving. My car was parked in the back lot, as the designated parking spaces were very dirty, with lots of trash scattered around. When I returned to my car, the exterior was covered with insects, so I used a tissue to clean it off. Unfortunately, one of the tissues accidentally fell on the ground. I admit it was my mistake, but since the area was so filthy, I didn't want to pick it up. At that moment, the person shown in the picture approached me, claiming the land belonged to them, although I didn't think that was true. They accused me of littering. Just as I was about to pick up the tissue, they started taking pictures of my car, so I took a picture of them in return. I asked them, "If you're so concerned, why don't you clean up all the trash around here? My car was covered in insects because of the garbage, and I wouldn’t have needed to clean it with tissues if the area were clean." While dropping the tissue was my fault, I didn’t deserve to be spoken to so harshly. I was frightened by their aggressive behavior. So here’s a word of caution: if you plan on dining at this restaurant and parking nearby, be mindful of this person.

This is a good place for people who crave for HK Char Chan Teng food. Satay beef is one of the good ones that I would recommend. I have to highlight the HK style milk tea☕️… Brilliant 🤩

Fresh Chinese and Cantonese food, for affordable prices. I definitely recommend the red bean ice and the curry beef tendons.

The food is getting better and better. When I first came here, the peppery taste was too strong, but fortunately it didn’t reach the point where I won’t do it next time 😂; but recently, there are more side dishes👍🏻. Today I had Yangzhou fried rice, which was beyond my expectations⋯⋯ The results are overjoyed, very good👍🏻, I hope they will continue to improve! 😊

Tried their new Zhuhou beef brisket and curry beef brisket side dishes. The brisket was very cooked and both sauces were cooked well! My husband thinks the curry is a little bit spicy, but I like the richness of the Zhuhou Beef Brisket! The price of £14.8 comes with rice and canola. I think I have eaten at many other Hong Kong-style restaurants.

After looking at the ratings and seeing the pictures, I was a bit disappointed. I ordered Curry Jelly Pork Chop Rice. The pork chop was so flat that it looked like a big piece, but it was so thin that I couldn’t bite it off and felt like I couldn’t eat the pork chop. It was fried into a mouthful, but it needed a little overcook, and the crispy skin was a little hard. I found it hard to eat. The lemon tea was normal. My friend's curry beef brisket rice was average, but it wasn't as attractive as the ratings said.

It has a Hong Kong flavor and is worth a visit

Taste of HK🥹portion is very big!

Accommodated us and our twin girls with warmth, tasty hot food and authentic vibe. Thankyou :-)

Just little bit difficult to find the space for parking....

Lovely place this - would really recommend. It felt like a real taste of Hong Kong. I will be back!

Cafe of authentic Hong Kong style and taste. The food is of good quality. Attentive service.

Not a bad place. I've only been here once and not to sure I’ll visit again. I ordered sweet and sour and for some crazy reason when it came it was spicy! I've been eatog sweet and sour for 20+ years and this was a first. They did rectify it, but….. Good job I’m not allergic to spice! I just don't like it!

The food is great which full of the love from Hong Kong.

Good portion and value, a nice Hong Kong-style cafe to try some Asian food. The menu can be a bit hit or miss. The salt and pepper pork was great, but some of the Western-themed dishes were not as good. The shop is not big, so call and book in advance would be a good idea.

This is quite a special find. It’s located just on the edge of the city centre (about 15 minutes walk from the Arndale). The food, service and atmosphere were fantastic. We tried the Chicken Steak Rice Noodle Soup (8) and paid £1.50 for hot and sour soup base which was delicious, the chicken was so tender. We also tried the beef tendon brisket with rice (17) the beef melted in your mouth. We finally tried the Singapore Fried Vermicelli Noodles (46) the noodles were a perfect texture, being the right amount of chew to softness. The portion sizes were v. big so we took some home. The meal came to about £50 which is very reasonable for 3 full meals between two plus drinks. For drinks, we had the Hong Kong Style Milk Tea (Cold) because it’s summer - if you’re a fan of strong milky but sweet tea this hits the spot, The food quality was great, the food came out fresh and hot and all within 15 minutes despite it being busy. We had a great moment shared with Ivan (a regular customer) and his partner who both went out of their way to recommend some traditional Hong Kong dishes - forever thankful to them! Highly recommend this cafe to anyone! The food was too good so apologies for lack of photos.

Food was very tasty, 100% hongkong taste, I ordered a cold lemon ice tea (凍檸茶)which taste a little bit sweet but still taste very good. Staff there was very nice. Would definitely go there again. ☺️

Hong Kong style tea restaurant, authentic Hong Kong style, good milk tea, delicious food

loved the food it was fresh and delicious. Friendly service and great value make it a top spot for Hong Kong cuisine. Highly recommended!

Bonafide HONG KONG style cafe Finally !!! …I felt nostalgic on the first sip of HONG KONG tea sitting in this cafe took us back to the streets of Tsim Sha Tsui . Very clean set up and the service is quick . The food didn’t disappoint at all. We ordered the kimchi pork rice and the Beef Ho Fun both were delicious. Portion size is great too . We only found the ice lemon tea too strong (next time we will request for it to be made weaker )

Xingzhou fried rice is delicious, lemon tea milk tea is delicious There is a 10% service charge, it’s worth Encore👍

Amazing food and Lovely staff. We Will Come back soon!

We had the sweet and sour king prawn, chicken stir fried noodles and, salt and pepper pork chop. They all tasted amazing with decent portions. The salt and pepper dish is especially outstanding in a way that the flavour offers a certain level of depth with the magic of deep fried garlic and caramelised onions. The members of staff are friendly and prompt in addressing your need. Would definitely come back again!

The flavour was great and the pork chops were really huge😳 If you like Hong Kong flavour, please try it Most of the staff are Hong Kong people but they can understand you in Mandarin and English, so don't worry, there will be no communication problems.

They should’ve let us know items that are not available on the menu and we would’ve left. But never mind, I decided to try out other items on the menu… My soup noodle had no soup, tasted like msg, plus the noodle was undercooked. Restaurant itself looks nice and clean, seats are comfy.

The food is normal and acceptable. The five-spice diced pork tastes ok. The toilet is clean but full of clutter. The location is convenient and easy to find, next to the prison. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to Victoria station.

We visited at dinner time 7pm and it was full house. They are available for booking and walk-in. I like how much choices they have and everything tastes better than expectations. The price is affordable and the place is very clean & tidy. There’s also a parking lot at the back of the restaurant. The staff is nice and friendly. Basically it’s a nice spot for family and friends!

I had some delicious food here with some of my friends. Very attentive staff and they amended my order to not have any cheese as I requested. They also had a great selection of drinks, the pineapple and sprite Hong Kong style beverage was delicious! Thanks

Authentic and high quality Hong Kong style food and beverages

Incredibly authentic experience with excellent atmosphere and great food. Would come back if given the chance, they really cooked with this one. :)

As soon as the Xingzhou fried rice arrived, I was the first to call. Not only do I know the taste of returning to Hong Kong, but I also need to eat well. A cup of frozen lemon tea and frozen milk tea are both delicious. If you are homesick, you must come here.

The curry beef brisket rice and frozen milk tea are both excellent. It tastes like Hong Kong and worth recommending👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Wanted to try this place out after seeing some food pictures on Google review. We ordered beef ho fan, rice noodles with beef brisket, dumplings with noodles and chicken curry with omirice. Total came to around £57 (cash) or £63 ( card) with drinks. Only downside was to me the food tasted bland. Needed more flavour. Portion side is generous. Service friendly and plenty parking. I would visit again but I would choose a different dish.

There is a 10% service charge. It is 10% off compared to cash and the price is reasonable. Except for the diced pork chop and noodles on the left, the diced noodles are good. The pork chop is very old, the five-spice pork diced noodles and the diced pork are chewy, and the pork belly rice and pork are chewy. Good firewood, the old rice is always frozen...the best is a cup of frozen milk tea.

Delicious food, made to feel very welcome and would certainly return. Thankyou ☺️

The food taste very good and cheap prices great value place to eat.

If you're craving authentic Hong Kong cuisine, this place is a gem. The satay beef noodles soup & French toast are a standout, capturing the true taste of Hong Kong. The efficient service mirrors the bustling, noisy atmosphere typical of Hong Kong eateries, adding to the authenticity. Perfect for a quick meal or a nostalgic trip back to Hong Kong flavors.

Super authentic Hong Kong style diner! Brought back great memories. Food is really good, it’s noisy as it should be! The Hong Kong style French toast is brilliant, oily and delicious. The noodles were great too. Will go back, proper hot comfort food on a cold day. Recommend reserving or going early to avoid disappointment.

Bustling little HK style restaurant, was packed at dinner time so had a little wait despite pre booking a table. However food still came out fast and tasty. I really enjoyed the curry beef brisket rice. Filling and decent value. Salt and pepper chips were great for sharing.

Luckily we managed to get a table relatively quickly and the service was friendly and quick. We ordered the red bean drink, milk tea, beef brisket noodles, curry beef brisket rice and beef hor fun. I recommend the drinks, all very authentic and deliciously made. The curry beef brisket was very fragrant and flavoursome(a little bit of the fatty side though), and would have been nice to have just a bit more rice. The beef hor fun had the usual wok hei and tasted like it had the correct ‘charred flavour’. I would not recommend their soup noodles, lacking flavour and no real broth flavour.

Really Hong Kong taste, the milk tea is outstanding.

Food was lovely. Especially spicy fried chicken was cooked perfectly and sauce was very tasty. They are busy and they always try to squeeze more people in but it’s worth going

The drinks were alright especially the coffee with tea '鴛鴦'. The food was served very quickly soon after placing the order. If we need be to absolutely critical, some ingredients were cold/luke warm, which made us questioned about if those were freshly made. The taste was fine though with great service offered. Would not recommend.

Very delicious food. Perfect service. As western guy i like to order beer or wine when i eat dinner out. Unfortunately they don't offer any alcohol in the drinks card. Everything rest is really good 👍

Perfect. Feels like I’m back in Hong Kong in terms of the food and atmosphere! This is my new favourite place to go

It’s worth trying. It tastes good.

Food ～delicious , staff ～friendly, we will come back again. 감사합니다 🙏🙏💞💞

Absolutely love this place, such a hidden gem! This resto has such a friendly vibe unlike some of the restaurants in China Town... Food was excellent, extremely quick but came in piping hot! The Hong Kong style milk tea and the red bean drink was amazing too not too sweet. Definitely worth revisiting multiple times, if only their location is slightly closer to town !!!

Really nice, friendly service and great food!

The taste is in line with expectations for a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant, and the portion is sufficient. It would be better if the cheese baked fries were made with thicker fries.

The most authentic Hong Kong restaurant in the United Kingdom

A truly Hong Kong style safe, with original taste, menu and atmosphere.

good food and great service (although it took quite a bit for our dishes to come)

Excellent traditional HongKong style Cafe (Cha Chaan Teng) good and drink, especially milk tea and red bean fleecy (ice)

Don’t worry, eat back the taste of Hong Kong

Hong Kong Rentu Restaurant 👍🏻 Dry beef river, Xingzhou fried rice, western toast, red bean ice, Hong Kong-style milk tea, sufficient portion, authentic taste 😊 Carefully made, beef river and homemade chili oil, Xingzhou fried rice and curry powder are authentic, Western toast has peanut butter㗎😆The second one is "thick toast", red bean ice, milk tea, no fuss, no hea, it is a famous specialty of the tea restaurant😆"Happy Valley" has a feeling name👍🏻 Support support😊

Good staff good boss good place

Love this place Authentic local HongKonger's food Best phone to reserve a table. Ok to drop in if you don't mind waiting for 15 mins.

with my son During my trip to Manchester, I visited a Hong Kong restaurant and had red bean drink, iced black tea, ho-fan, French toast, satay mix, and various other foods. I tasted it and it was really good...I'm familiar with Hong Kong food. My child really liked it and the staff were all nice people. It was a place I would want to go again the next time I come to Manchester.

A lovely HK diner experience! We were greeted warmly and offered a table quickly. The deal for adding a drink onto a meal was a great deal. I had an authentic Hong Kong style milk tea served in the signature white ceramics with the orange rim which was a joy. The best take away from this experience was definitely the lovely service, I would definitely support again!

A good Hong Kong themed restaurant opposite to Manchester prison. A menu with lots of memorable and distinctive Cantonese dishes (such as their homemade spiced diced meat), and good portion size too. Service can be a bit slow at peak time and surrounding streets outside the restaurant are not very pleasant, with lots of litters on the floor. There is free customer parking at the back of the restaurant, but spaces are limited.

Absolutely wonderful food, worth every one of these 5 stars, my wife and I rate this restaurant highly

The best satay beef noodles set and milk tea I've had in Manchester! Wide range of menu options, high quality and presentable food, great atmosphere and people never stopped coming - definitely worth the walk from Victoria station and will come again.

Friendly and fast service. The staff put 110% into their job and you could see that they all care about their job. The food was amazing, very high quality. First time visiting and would love to visit again! If I lived closer I would definitely be here weekly! I bumped into one of the chefs as they were closing and he was very friendly; he must have been tired from working hard but still wanted to get feedback and see whether everything was good whilst visiting. The interior is also interesting and the atmosphere is fun. I would definitely recommend to others.

Typical Hong Kong stylish restaurant. Wide and bright interior design. Happy to have genuine Hong Kong food like Swiss Chicken Wings and Yuenyeung.

Delicious, satay beef noodles, hot milk tea, Hong Kong taste👍👍👍I will definitely try other food next time.

Authentic Hong Kong style tea restaurant, delicious

Really nice food and atmosphere. Staff are very friendly, good humour. Really clean establishment. I would return.

The service and food are 100 points, the taste of Hong Kong, great

Went to visit this place last week. Interior reminds of back in Hong Kong and the service is very good compared to most hk places here, the staff were very attentive and you could tell it was family/friends ran. Their drinks taste good and authentic and food was very tasty especially the beef Ho fun. We also got the curry brisket rice too and even though it wasn’t the curry taste I was expecting it was still great nonetheless. Only point I would say is the prices are slightly dear for what you get. Overall great place x

Good food, a nice cup of milk tea

General Hong Kong tea meal But without losing

Super quality food, friendly staff

WOW!! Probably one of the best Chinese dishes I've had in a long time... I ordered beef in satay sauce with egg fried rice. It does have a little kick to it but I like my spices.... The flavour of the food is amazing I finished my plate even though I was full half way through haha... the rice was cooked to how I like it (fluffy) prices you can't grumble at as you get alot on your plate! Staff are very friendly + polite. Cafe is clean, I've been twice + it has been busy but did manage to get a table both times without waiting... If you like your Chinese food this is a MUST try! You will not be disappointed

As a Hong Kongers, I have visited this restaurant several times because I found the food authentically Hong Kong. The staff here is friendly not only to the Hong Kongers, but also to the locals who would like to try food in Hong Kong style. I especially recommend the curry beef tendon brisket with rice (16) to everyone who comes for the first time. Yang Chow fried rice (22) is also great, both in terms of the taste and the size of serving. I definitely would recommend everyone one to visit this place to try the food here.

Another Hong Kong style cafe / Cha Chaan Teng, relatively small place with 10 tables or so, but the atmosphere is nice. Super friendly service. Prices are set on par with other HK cafes recently blossomed. I ordered Curry Pork Cutlet with rice which was ok, heard that their satay beef and spiced diced meat are quite nice but not for me to comment as I didn't try. Milk tea though tasted quite authentic.

A solution to homesickness, business 168. Your own people help your own people. It's clear.

The food tastes great. Clean environment

Beef beef is stir-fried and you can enjoy Hong Kong style satay beef👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Authentic Hong Kong Cha Tsai flavor, big dish and delicious. You must try it when you come to Manchester. Good and delicious food, tradition Hong Kong tastes, highly recommended 🤤🤤

Tasty food. Hong Kong authentic tea restaurant

The food is delicious, the service is good, and I have a cup of frozen lemon tea with real HK taste. The homemade five-spice pork cubes are delicious. 👍👍

The large plate of Xingmijin can feed two people and is delicious🤩 good price good taste

Very delicious Hong Kong style cuisine, worth visiting again

My second time visiting Happy valley cafe, love the Hong Kong style food! The staff are so friendly and helpful☺️

Booked a table for 5 at 6pm, when we arrived the restaurant it was only 60% full, we were told to take a table for 4. It was crowded and not comfortable at all so we left once we finished the meal. What is the point of booking if no one is arranging table for you? Food was not good as well, curry tasted plain, heard that red bean iced drink was good but turned out it was only mediocre. Definitely wouldn't visit this restaurant again.

The flavor of Hong Kong style tea restaurant is here!

The milk tea is delicious and the boss is nice

Good food for tasting. Good mood for friends gathering. Highly recommend!

The food here was lovely, although being given a fork to eat noodles was a bit strange. Would recommend the French toast (Chinese style) this really tastes as it does in HK Please note if you have a dietary condition they do not accommodate.

The beginning of taste Being alone in a foreign country and missing the taste Taste the delicious dream of staying in your hometown

Salford one of the best Hong Kong-style restaurant with street parking,(cash is king in there)

That’s right! Having lived in Manchester for more than 10 years, this is the most authentic Hong Kong-style restaurant!

Food are not bad but I think the set meal is quite expensive. We ordered the salt and pepper pork chop but it turned out to be black bean and bell pepper stir-fry which wasn't what we expected. Please note there's 10% service charge.

The satay beef noodles and dry-fried beef river are both delicious, and the hot milk tea is the best I've had among the many Hong Kong-owned icehouses in Manchester.
