This is authentic Chinese food. I think some of the mixed reviews are from brits expecting the typical ‘Chinese takeaway’ food. The food I had was excellent and the 2 waiters, a young man and young lady were very friendly and helpful.

The food was sensational. Very tasty. Very friendly staff and very accommodating. The only downside is that it’s cash only but they tell you at the start so there is no real issue. I liked it very much.

This place is opposite the Apollo at Ardwick in Manchester so one of those eat/drink here places before the concert. Beware ITS CASH ONLY, why do Chinese folks dislike cards, are they trying to hide something? The waiting staff hardly spoke English although this is not an issue if you are a diner who can speak Chinese. The food all arrived at different times so we three of us ate out of sync. We had to send rice back as the main courses had not arrived and two of us were on mains when one starter arrived. One main meal arrived when three of us had all finished eating completely. It was my wife's meal was cold and completely inedible and bore no resemblance to the picture on the menu. We waited whist it was re cooked and it was still inedible. I would have refused to pay but the couple we were with were very "English" and did not want to do that. Halfway through our "meal" a couple came in and ordered a meal which they cooked at a sort of wok at the table. there were extractors over each table but this really cleared the restaurant as it was very smoky and smelly.

The restaurant shamelessly uses pig’s lymph node in its discounted £7.99 meal deals. This outrageous adulteration practice poses great threat to public health. The House of Beijing clearly violates the Food Safety Act 1990 as it 1. Render Food injurious to health as lymph nodes often contain salmonella. 2. Sell food not of the nature or substance or quality damaged which includes adulteration. 3. Falsely describe or present food: misleading information and misrepresentation about the nature, substance or quality of the food. The owner of this restaurant is heinous and malicious in tricking people to buy discounted meals for inedible pork. Please avoid ever buying from here and I wish the owner suffer from his/her unforgivable wrongdoings to eternity.

Really lovely meal out with my mum! My only complaint would be the lack of vegetarian options, but other than that the food was lovely, fresh and hot. And the gentleman who served us was the sweetest soul. He was young, Asian, slim and worked near the cashier. He definitely needs praising:)

Absolute vile! Ordered spicy chicken and received gristly chicken with bones and a load of peppercorns. Completely inedible. Restaurant seemed quite dirty, would not recommend at all. Very expensive too for what you get with small expensive portions with no sides and warm beers. Awful.

Located just outside of Manchester City center, this hidden gem is a must-try. This buffet style hotpot is very good value for money and for a slight extra fee, you can also enjoy grilled meat on top of the hotpot as well. The food was served fresh and the staff were very helpful and friendly. If you love hot pot and grilled meat, then you must give this restaurant a try. Overall, the cost was approximately £30 per person if you share the bill with friends. If not, it's just slightly more expensive.

I recently dined at this Chinese restaurant and was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food and the service. In particular, they allowed me to customise my dish! Very impressed with the patient and the customer service. Unsurprisingly, The dishes were all expertly prepared and full of bold, authentic flavours. The service was also top-notch, with the waitstaff being friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience and I would highly recommend this Chinese restaurant to anyone looking for delicious food and excellent service.

Pound for pound, quite possibly the worst food I've ever eaten, certainly Chinese food. The starters were just a plate of grease, we both had chicken in our mains, it wasn't chicken, it was reformed junk. The only reason it got one star was the fella serving, wasn't the best but tried really hard, appeared as though he was new. During the time we were there, we noticed a lot of plates were being taken back to the kitchen half full.

Great setting for our purposes just across from O2 Apollo. Cash only - not explained when we booked. Food mediocre. Bizarre portions - one rice enough for 4; bland Beijing dumplings x 12 (enough for 2). Service wasn’t great although staff really keen: there weren’t enough of them, they delivered food to wrong tables and changes to orders were not understood. The cost was not reflected in the quality. Sadly, we won’t be back.

Initially made up to find this place so near to the Apollo but that happiness soon changed when we set eyes upon the food we had ordered. We selected, what we thought were simple fast options- chicken fried rice, salt and pepper chips and curry sauce. 5-10 minutes before anything (including drinks) arrived, a bowl of curry sauce with a spoon was placed infront of us like it was soup starter. The chicken was limp, oily and inedible. It was the palest chicken fried rice of all time- no colour (minus a handful of peas) and no flavour.The only time the rice entered a pan was when it was boiled- nothing fried about it. The chips were two handfuls (max) of frozen chips, tossed in a small amount of seasoning with a handful of peppers. The drinks were warm and 'for the price, the portions were small. I am disappointed in myself for paying and not refusing. Overall, I would NOT recommend this place. Avoid and save yourself the disappointment!!

I know it's convenient for the Apollo but please give it a wide berth. I had Kung Po chicken, the meat was unrecognisable and the peanuts, should be cashews, were black and like bullets. I returned it and asked for a bowl of curry sauce in its place. They hadn't deducted my meal but had added the curry sauce!! Eventually deducted.

Do not book here! I truly think they only serve people who are going to the Apollo opposite. It’s basically a takeaway with a few tables in. The food was poor for takeaway standards! Not even a table cloth on the table, toilet was rank! Writing this review to warn others who are going to the O2, BOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE! Restaurant princess with below standard takeaway food.

Bad telephone service, didn’t tell me about the rise in price until I asked, then she responded with bad attitude. Not only that the prices went up, the portion shrink a lot as well. They used to use the standard size takeaway box for the cold dish, and now it’s the smaller size ones. Everything was used to be better

Called in for a meal with my wife in December 2021; given its excellent location just over the road from the O2 Apollo. Greeted with a nice welcome from the staff. The place was clean; with staff wearing masks and sanitizer available. We didn’t feel rushed at any point, and although every table was occupied the atmosphere was relaxed. We went for the set menu that offered a fair choice and was well priced. The food was very good quality and although simply presented was extremely tasty and very flavoursome – with good sized portions. Would recommend, and would have no hesitation in calling in again if were we seeing a show at the Apollo again.

We visited in a bit of a rush ahead of seeing a gig at the Apollo. Wasn’t sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. This is a small, low key place, a bit more like a cafe than a restaurant. The staff were very friendly and the food was nice. It was a bit more “authentic” than a lot of Chinese takeaway food. We had one main course with fried rice to share along with dim sum and spring onion bread. It was a lot of food, very fresh and really enjoyable. Would go back if I was at a gig there again. One thing to note is it was cash only.

The menu caters either for the British or Chinese/Cantonese tastes just ask the waitress and you will be helped. The portions are generous and its very economical. If you only go to restaurants that are hi-tec this may not be for you, the place is spotless, but if you are all a out the food it's highly recommended.

Ordered from here this evening and it it was a hit and miss experience. My partner ordered the hot and spicy fish, he loved it. Massive portion and absolutely spot on with flavour. However I had the veggie beef Peking dish and it was inedible - literally went straight in the bin. Smelt bad and tasted even worse. If you are not vegetarian then I would 100% give this place a go, but if you are veggie then please do proceed with caution. I have survived off the spring rolls (also excellent) and rice tonight. Had worse experiences but on the whole very disappointed and likely won't be ordering again.

Ridiculously bad experience. Ordered food online. Had Szechuan tofu and sweet and sour tofu plus some extras. Everything tasted artificial, was super greasy and as if it wasn't made in there but as if they used some ready made store bought sauces. The tofu was overcooked or may have stayed in the sauce for ages. As an European, I made far more better stir fries. The only good thing about the food was the fact that is was warm.

Good service, but the food wasn't really good. Some of the photos here and on the menu aren't representative of what you'll get. For example: I've ordered a Chicken and mushroom Chow Mein and as opposed to the photo on the menu (which is the same as here) the noodles were very thin, the chicken was sliced like ham, maybe because it as frozen? and the mushroom were very spongy, also had balls of sticky cornflour jelly. I left disappointed as i expected much better food - it was like eating food cooked from frozen.

Food is not bad really small portions but it does fill you up. If you like hot n spicy (not really) then this is the place 1 should go. Apparently they do Dim Sum n Hot Pot too. I will go try Dim sum n give my verdict when it happen. Food comes out rather quick and I wonder???. I would give 3 star now and see happen to Dim sum.
