Hello Oriental in Manchester

Very rude experience from staff.

Amazing choice of food and drinks. I loved the crème brûlée bubble tea! The sushi was fab, the dim sum were perfectly cooked. I loved every bit of it! It’s rare to find somewhere with a decent selection of bubble drinks and good food in the same place. The staff were helpful and super efficient and the atmosphere was perfect for holding a conversation (music wasn’t too loud).

Food was taking 40 min too arrive while all of my frds finished their food already

Really Fantastic food, A slight issue is the bad signal to order via QR scan.

First time here There was 7 of us and the staff were brilliant nothing was too much trouble Food was delicious and pretty good value 😊

Great food with a huge selection of food, scan the QR code at the table and food arrives. We had prawns in wrappers and pork bau buns-delicious with a beverage at 45£

Tasty food, good portions and great service.

easy to order, interior is well designed. price a little high but quality is worth it.

Everything was good except for Bao Buns. I'm really disappointed with them. Ver little meat, only salad in them and in this price excepted better.

If at any point you plan on being a food hall, please let me know (which you are advertising as). You can take your QR code personal information harvesting and shove it where the sun doesnt shine. I love food halls, I will order at the counter and get what I want, this isnt possible here apparently. I saw QR only, and left. Not as advertised at all

The cashier on the first floor😩

it says open 8.30 but they actually open at 12? I am here 10.30 am they said they open at 12.

Fantastic food, incredible service. Plenty to keep the omnivores, veggies, kids and even the dog, very happy. Really fresh, flavourful food Massive shout out to Jay who was serving us - phenomenal customer service! We'll definitely be back

Such a hidden gem, had no idea it was there! Food is unreal, can't wait to go back!

Great venue,great food,great price

Very tasty food. I ordered the spicy beef pho and it was sooo comforting - the spice was just to my level and the portion size very generous, plenty of beef - easily could feed 2. The spicy chicken wings were also flavour packed and again met my high level of spicy. The nasi goreng was a little tomatoey but tasted fine. The service was great, really friendly and the atmosphere very chilled and relaxed. Order and pay all via qr code. The menu was so large with lots of options, apart from roast - pretty much everything halal

Algo de comida vino caliente y algo fría. Algunos platos eran mejores que otros, por ejemplo el pollo frito coreano era agradable, caliente y se entregaba rápidamente. Teníamos dos bollos de bao que carecían de sabor y muy fríos. Las bebidas tardaron mucho en llegar, así que no fue agradable esperarlos mientras comían comida picante. El concepto es interesante. Sin embargo, le falta estructura cuando está ocupado, esperamos una hora por un plato y terminamos rindiéndonos y teniendo que reembolsarlo ya que habíamos terminado todo lo demás hace 20 minutos. Las gambas eran gambas horribles, grasientas y baratas, ¡no es lo que esperarías por £ 9 por cuatro piezas! Quizás lo intentemos de nuevo en un día más tranquilo.

Really really good food. I got the beef pho and it came with so many peices of beef which was really tender. So many options and they have all been good of the ones I’ve tried and I’ve been at least 6 times. Beautiful cool interior and a good spot for a date

Food was edible but really unpleasant, disappointing

Food here is good but the service is hopelessly slow. Waited an hour for wontons that we then cancelled because we had to leave. Looks like they're prioritising takeaway and not seated customers.

The food was good but waited a long time to receive it. Salt & pepper chips arrived quickly but we didn’t have any drinks with it, waited 20 minutes for the drinks to arrive, 30 minutes on the Korean fried burger then after waiting an hour for the prawn won tons we asked for them to be cancelled and a staff member refunded it.

Recommend the Korean chicken! Food came quickly and was really nice. It’s a different type of venue being underground

Bit of a barn downstairs but service was fast and food excellent.

Never had a bad experience here.

Good food . Just feel a lil bloated after

No podía faltar, la comida era encantadora y su selección de comida y bebida era brillante. El servicio también fue rápido. Definitivamente voy a volver!

We’ve been here multiple times and the food is consistently good,informal setting,DJ can be loud but music is normally ok,service is great especially Jay!

Like to come here for the ice cream and the karsu curry, always delivers 👌

food took more than 45 mins to arrive. Amazing! It’s not even peak hour

Poor staff behaviour and waited for 1 hour but they don’t respond to me at all. Completely unacceptable!

Atmosphere is great! Service is good. Food is okay. In my view, there are lots of other restaurants nearby where you can find the same foods at almost same price but with a better taste. Over all, you won't regret going there, but, you will feel like, "it could have been better".

A great, inexpensive, freshly cooked meal. Unusual but interesting drinks choices and app ordering, which I need to get used to.

loaded fries were very nice, milkshakes good too. food came quickly

First time here last weekend, and I was pretty impressed. I ordered food & drink via a QR code, and it turned up on the table as soon as it was ready. Great welcoming service, all staff we dealt with were friendly. We had sweet & sour chicken ( the portion was huge, so we would probably only order one between us next time), noodles and salt, and pepper chips. The 2 4 1 cocktail hour went down well. Already booked again. One major negative was the sheer state of the toilets, but I dont want to dwell on that as beside that everything was great.

Very tasty food, got the salt and peppered chips and crispy chili beef, and nice interior with good music. Quite expensive but not used to Manchester so perhaps normal for the area but very nice nonetheless.

Mostly go for the fruit bubble teas which are consistently good. The few times I have ordered food have been tasty and as expected.

We came for an evening meal it's 3 places in one we went to the bottom one food was nice served really quickly you order it all through a qr code you have to register and be verified but it doesn't take long the food was nice nothing to set the world on fire but does the job

Food is amazing. I'd highly recommend the sourdough prawn toast, very crispy 😋 staff were nice enough. Ordering is via QR code on your table. Even with all I have written I will not be going back due to the state of the toilets. In a word they were DISGUSTING! I'm not against male/female toilets but if you're going to have them in a restaurant they need to be constantly checked. The filth was something I hadn't experienced in a long time looking similar to the toilets at the end of a music festival. It's a shame because the food was really very good.

Top class food! If you havent been, get down!

tasty food and fun atmosphere in here. service was super quick and friendly - they went out of their way to do my order quickly because I was in a rush. will def come back!!

Decent food. Tastes nice and service is relatively fast

The food was insane and so was our server Jay. Such good service - couldn’t do enough. Would reccomend to anyone :)

Our server jay was amazing - very attentive and very helpful. Food was amazing and definitely recommend :)

One of my favourite places to eat. Great atmosphere and the food is always so tasty. I recommend the beef bun hue, the Korean chicken (not the hot Korean chicken which is very hot), the crispy chilli beef and save room for the custard bao.

Good food that is freshly prepared and seemed to be entirely cooked on the premises. A wide menu of Asian food primarily Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese.

Amazing place. Discovered while looking for a place to eat at lunchtime. The food is really tasty and the staff are superb. Thank you Ange and Jay. We will be back.

Great service, really friendly staff and cool place to eat. Genuinely some of the best Sui Mai you can get, had to tell my mum. Great range of food, it really covers all the bases especially if you're craving Korean and Dim Sum at the same time. There's even sushi. The music was deafeningly loud. We spent the meal in mild discomfort shouting at one another and even the wait staff would have to yell to be heard. The DJ couldn't/ wouldn't lower the volume. It was like eating in a night club and it wasn't enjoyable. It was louder than a gig and the acoustics meant the sound just bounced around. As great as the food was we probably won't go back based on how painfully loud the music was - it made the experience really exhausting. Left with ringing ears and crackly voices. Takeaway though? Absolutely.

Came to Hello Oriental for the first time today. We were served by Jay absolutely amazing service very attentive, friendly, gave great recommendations, the food was lovely! Great atmosphere, we came as a family everyone thoroughly enjoyed there time here, and gave us board games to keep little man entertained. Plenty of halal food options and tasty vegan korean wings. My fav were the steamed ha gau. We would definitely come again thank you! :)

Delicious food, with a variety of options. Great mocktails, quick and friendly service with a creamy teddy ice cream to finish...thoroughly enjoyable

I do love this place although on the pricier side for food I enjoy the desserts mainly, I normally get Bingsu from here and have tried each flavour however today and on another occasion I got served basically liquid and so did my other 2 friends , I’m sure it was a accident however it was very disappointing as uasually I get a lovely bowl of shaved ice

Vine a Hello Oriental por primera vez hoy. Nos atendió Jay absolutamente increíble servicio muy atento, amable, dio grandes recomendaciones, la comida era preciosa! Gran ambiente, vinimos como una familia todos disfrutamos mucho allí tiempo aquí, y nos dio juegos de mesa para mantener al hombrecito entretenido. Un montón de opciones de comida halal y sabrosas alas coreanas veganas. Mi favorito era el ha gau al vapor. Sin duda volveríamos de nuevo gracias! : )

Visitó Hello - Oriental hoy por primera vez y definitivamente no será el último! No solo era increíble la comida, el servicio era brillante. Estábamos celebrando el día de mis hijas que fueron más allá para hacerlo especial. Gracias, los helados fueron un gran éxito!

Food was fantastic, and arrived extremely quickly, only issue we had is we'd actually finished our meals before our drinks arrived, the bar service is very, very slow.

Excellent service.. Jay looked after us and made the kids’ birthdays a treat!! Food excellent as always! Lucky Buddha on tap… what’s not to love!

Friendly staff, good food, and lots of vegetarian and vegan options

Always great food, fast and friendly service, great for kids!

Excellent service and food was lovely, want to say big thank you to Jay our waiter for advising of the dishes that we picked, and his service was spot on! Would definitely be back and would recommend!

i have to thank jay for the lovely service, credit to "hello oriental"

Love coming to Hello Oriental, there’s so much on the menu to try and the atmosphere is just perfect. Staff are always so helpful, huge thanks to Jay for making today’s visit so great 🙌🏽

Jay was a brilliant host to our table, food was exemplary. Impeccable location for food in Manchester

Jay was absolutely amazing and him alone would make me come back. Food was also really good to make it better

Had a great time, food was delicious and jay was a great waiter.

such a lovely experience. the food was actually delightful and everything we ordered packed a punch. Special shout out to Jay who served us and gave us such a wonderful experience at the restaurant. Would definitely recommend and will be coming again!

Loved the food here so much! The service was excellent and Jay took incredible care of us :)

great place! jay is awesome! he loves my cats, shame Seth wasnt here :(

Jay was very kind and looked after us throughout our visit. Great food.

I absolutely loved the food at hello oriental when it first opened, it was my go-to spot. Recently, however, it seems like they have become less focused on serving quality food. This isn't just a one-time issue, as it has happened the last four times I've visited. Sadly, it wouldn't even make my top 10 list of oriental food spots in Manchester anymore.

I haven't tried their food yet, but their Bingsus are delightful and well-presented. The best Bingsu I've tried in the UK 🍧

Absolutely banging place would recommend to all who love fusion flavours.

The food here is amazing. You have to try the crispy chilli beef, the beef ho fun noodles (thick flat noodles) and the sichaun chips. These are a few of the dishes ive tried. Ive heard the sushi is good too. Cant wait to try other dishes. Amazing service all the time.

Food is awesome from this place, a huge variety to pick from. The Nasi Goreng is really good. You order from an app when you get to a table, which is pretty cool. The service is also good and pretty quick. All in all, a really good place, well worth visiting

Amazing service food was absolutely on point! Will be back to try other dishes. Went out of their way to cater for GF diet. Whipped up some amazing coating free salt and pepper chicken!

Come here every week. Food and desserts are amazing and very tasty. The best resturant going. Service is on point.

Really gutted to leave this review, but the food standards seem to have dropped in the past few months. I ordered the chicken burger, which was rock hard, and the meat was grey—not fresh at all. My boyfriend’s Vietnamese pork tasted like processed or tinned meat, with a really strange taste and texture. Unfortunately, the next morning, I felt unwell, and I suspect it was from the meal. After reading recent reviews, it seems this is a recurring issue. I’m so disappointed, but it’s clear that such a large menu might mean the food isn’t cooked fresh. No one approached our table to clear it or check how our meal was, which is also concerning, especially given how many people might have felt unwell recently. I really hope improvements are made and that this issue is looked into.

Ordered a Duck and rice to be delivered, it cost £20 (excl service and delivery charge) It was a pile of rice with pieces of duck that had no meat on it all, sprinkled with a couple of spring onions and chilli. There was no veg or sauce as described in the description on the menu. It was a total mis sale and absolutely disgraceful to have charged £20 for it.

Incredible food! All so yum and loads to choose from. Venue is also awesome

Don't trust the Instagram reels, overall not worth the price could get better from a Chinese takeaway for half the price. Made me and my girlfriend feel ill for the rest of the night. Food: I had the 3 roast with rice: char Sui pork, duck, pork belly and the spicy noodle carbonara with tempura prawn. Rice dish: • Came with hardly any sauce rice was minimum effort • Duck was all bone • Char Sui pork was quite nice some bits were really chewy Noodle dish: • Broth tasted like it was from a ramen packet • Prawn katsu was great but the batter got soggy in the broth Service: • Tables were dirty • Played both music and the avengers movie on the TV so was really distracting and weird to play a movie in a restaurant • Got the rice dish quite quick but then waited 20 minutes for the noodle dish, if you go with a friend there's a very good chance you won't eat together

Awful portion of duck and rice , just a pile of rice with boney pieces of duck , no meat at all . No veg as described or sauce. Disgraceful for £20 !

Cool place with a cool vibe. Food was a big let down: - salt and pepper chicken - really tough, we left more than half behind - teriyaki beef bao bun- nice, but only a small amount of beef - nasi goreng- well below average - schezuan chips- really nice- the thing we really enjoyed Not sure if we ordered the wrong stuff, but wouldnt go back for the food.

Great Monday all you can eat wings, whilst Avatar was playing in the background, does it get any better?

Glad we shared our first dish as the other one we ordered didn't arrive until we had finished our first. They had an avengers film playing as well as music which was a weird vibe. The food was ok but I'm not sure I would go out of my way for it in the future when focusing on just the taste, apart from that though both me and my partner felt queasy for a few hours after. Probably won't eat here again.

Fantastic experience with jay. Thanks so much

Brilliant service, Jay could not have done more for us! The concept is great and such a cool environment. The dim sum is probably the best we have had in Manchester and do not miss out on the house made chilli sauce!

Attended with a large group of friends. We loved the food and drinks here and can’t wait for the Trafford Centre location to open. Our main waiter was friendly enough but it was hectic and loud in there. No one greeted us as we walked in so we didn’t know where to sit etc and had to walk to the bar to find a waiter. The music was just too loud and we could barely hear each other. The supermarket is really cool so all in all we really liked it, those points just need improving.

I've been to Hello Oriental numerous times and it never fails to impress me! I've tried multiple menu items such as their Nasi Goreng fried rice, Beef Pho, Ho Fun noodles, etc. And they've all been at an impressive quality as well as quantity! I do recommend to not order too much as the portion sizes are generous and their mains are always more filling than it looks! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

Omg just love the food reasonable price fresh tasty food

Nearly an hour late and one of the items we ordered was wrong.

Nice chilled out space, great choice and food was nice but not amazing. We really enjoyed the bubble tea and the sourdough prawn toast.

The food is good. However, I ordered the kids katsu chicken and the chicken came cooked but slightly pink inside so was hard to eat. I ordered the sichuan chilli fried chilli burger and it was definitely undercooked. I bit into the burger and there was a very obviously undercooked part. I told the staff and he said he’d speak to his manager but came back and said it’s been cooked for a “very long time” and there’s no chance of it being undercooked when it most definitely was. Didn’t end up eating the burger at all and was put off eating the rest of my food. The salmon dragon roll sushi was really good. I’m not a big fan of sushi but this was really good and would really recommend.

Overall, everything was lovely. I ordered a duck noodle soup. 24-hour, slow cooked duck.. I had expected like everywhere else I've been to, that the duck would be a breast cut up. There was more bone and cartilage than meat. There was shredded duck in the broth. I wouldn't order it again. Besides that, I ordered a bowl of kimchi, which was good. Shared a plate of katsu chicken curry chips. They were nom noms. Had ice cream to finish, which was also nice. I didn't appreciate the tip system because we scanned the code on the table. Took 5 steps to get from the kitchen to our table. The fresh cold water machine was good. I also had their only larger beer, which was also very nice.. my only real beef was the duck. I expected better.

There was only one issue. We sat on lower level. When the DJ started, the music was a bit too high for us to hear each other. Killed the chance of conversation. Everything else was great!

I brought my dog to Hello Oriental today. The staff first brought him a bowl of water and then also some chicken. How lovely that was! Food was amazing and I love the friendly street-food vibe in the restaurant.

I didn't even get my food. I waited for the delivery but no one's there

Good place. You can make an order through the application and there is a large selection of dishes. But if you would like to try real authentic Asian dishes, you will need to choose another place. Despite this, it is delicious here. We tried sushi but keep in mind that the pieces of fish will be very small. The ice cream and bao buns were incredible. The downside was that we ordered two portions of sushi, but for some reason we were first brought one portion and after a while others were brought. It was the same with ice cream. It is not clear why there was a period of time for this, because we made an order from one application and expected that everyone would be served dishes at the same time. There is also a DJ that creates a cool atmosphere.

Absolutely fantastic oriental food spot in the heart of Manchester. Choose from grab and go baked goods (ground floor), gorgeous homemade Pho (-1 floor) or any street food indulgence you could want (-2 floor)! This is a great little find and was fantastic for the price. Absolutely delicious.

Hemos comido aquí en algunas ocasiones, la hora del almuerzo y la cena, además de comida para llevar ocasionalmente de la cafetería de arriba. Excelente comida sabrosa, por un precio decente en un buen ambiente. Volveremos de nuevo sin duda cuando en la zona.

Quick service and nice food. Four stars rather than five because the plates/bowls are too small for the food. Napkins could be larger or stronger as well becuase they kept ripping.

Such a great place - delicious food (I had outstanding bao and sushi) and great staff. Jay was incredibly kind and attentive

Visited on a Saturday night. Great atmosphere with a DJ. The food was lovely, and portions were a good size. Good value. Will definitely be back.

We were in Manchester City Centre that day and looking for a some new culinary experience. Saw Hello Oriental , walked in and was greeted by staff Bryoni. She’s very helpful and friendly. We proceeded to the restaurant downstairs and found the place provides a variety of Asian food. We ordered some Chinese, Korean and Malaysian dishes. All were deliciously cooked. We had a very enjoyable and satisfying experience there.
