House Of Beijing in Manchester

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.

Good service, good food, overpriced, cash only. Would not recommend.

Fantastic authentic oriental kitchen. Thoroughly recommend the hot broths.

One of the worst Chinese restaurants I've (unfortunately) tried in Manchester. I spent £19 on half a roast duck, and waited almost an hour to have this delivered.

Fantastic meal out before Darius Rucker Gig. Fast service and lovely food! Enjoyed every mouthful…will be back when we are at our next gig!

Proper Chinese food what is really nice

Very bad food . It is not fresh and not taste. The plant and bowl very dirty and oily. . The rost duck not fresh. Very dry and the rost duck skin lots of hair. The price very expensive.

Not going to again. Very bad food . It is not fresh and not taste. The plant and bowl very dirty and oily. . The rost duck not fresh. Very dry and the rost duck skin lots of hair. The price very expensive.

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:)

Comically bad and pretty expensive. My wife now isn't talking to me for subjecting her to it! We ordered a plate of gristle and some very questionable beef, and 2 warm beers. Actually almost funny, will remember for life at least!

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.

Great food at reasonable prices and close to the Apollo for a pre concert meal!

Found this little gem by accident, but glad we did. Provides a unique experience of hotpot and bbq. Flavour is great and the portions are reasonable as is the price. Owner was very friendly as well, will definitely go again.

糟糕的服务，我们不被允许结账因为我们没有吃完食物，难以置信，从来没有遇到过这样的事

Very nice Beijing and Guangzhou cuisine! Hotpot and Beijing roasted duck is a must. Environment and services was good. Worth a try! 😌😌😌😌 Highly recommended.

Small restaurant but with quality food and service was fab

Very good food and nice ! Will come again

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.

小程序上说现金自取9.5折，拿的时候问不是有9.5折吗？飘了我一眼说现在物价多高啊！你才点这么一点点。多了我还可以送一点。我就一个人难道要点满汉全席吗？😂就算客顾客不是上帝但也不用藐视啊。

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!!

We went there because we were seeing Counting Crows at O2 Apollo. The place didnt look plush but let me tell you the food was wonderful. Its a little gem. We had a 2 starters and a main to share. The food was beautiful. Its the beast place pre concert to go. Dont read negative comments from others. The food is lovely and we would go again. Thank you

Can I rate no star? … ridiculous

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.

Very poor restaurant ! I ordered their food through Uber eat. They didn’t delivered my food but charged the fee for whole order! Cheat！

Food was lovely but service was slow. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Avoid it. Get food poisoning right after having meal at their restaurant.

Wasnt all that, flavourless wonton soup, roast meats too oily and fatty

店家打心里瞧不起中国留学生，就是给这种店家惯的，中餐水平才都这么差，建议大家去之前网上搜一搜。这种lj店真的应该倒闭

Poor service, rude waitress. The starters were good but the main was terrible.

Great food; well cooked, ridiculously fast and good portions sizes. Service was friendly and quick. Price was reasonable and fair. Good vegetarian options. Worth noting; they are cash only. (There is a cash point at the Tesco petrol station round the corner). Really handy for some good food before heading to the o2 Apollo (just across the road). We will come here again (when in the area).

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.

Beautiful food. Well priced and lots of it can't fault them. Service was quick. No rush for us to depart although they were busy. Would highly recommend.

Delicious food and polite staff

Food has really changed in the few months I haven't been back, very salty. The chicken and sweetcorrn soup ..the chicken was not real chicken..very weird. No dim sum anymore..which is the main reason we go..my kids adore dim sum. Staff didnt understand much of what we asked for, shame really as this used to be our favourite local Chinese.

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.

If you are keen on authentic Beijing palate, this would be good to experience a different style of cooking, otherwise this is not your regular Cantonese food place. Customer service was good. Simple and freshly cooked on site.

Bit slow on service but food was fantastic.

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.

Went to the apollo and came across the restaurant and what a find. Not the normal greasy take away but lovely Chinese food. Portions were very large and everything was nicely cooked. I wished I hadn't had to hurry for the gig but I was very impressed.

Amazing food and not just the usually English Chinese food so you can have proper Chinese

It was a pre-gig meal so we wanted somewhere close to the apollo, this place is literally across the road. This is a truly authentic restaurant that serves good food. 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.

Very amazing tradition northern Chinese food. You might not expect this but it’s exactly same as what I ate in China.

Tried this before concert, wasn't expecting much, but the food turned out to be absolutely delicious. Had king prawn curry, really big tasty prawns, shredded duck noodles and mixed meal all terrifically flavoursome; cucumber in garlic and mash was simple but very tasty. Service was very friendly too.

After the pandemic was looking for a restaurant near to the Apollo for a pre-gig meal. Phoned-up to check if they are still offering dine-in to wait for 2 mins for the call to be answered followed by a 'No English' and the phone being put down. Might be the greatest food on the planet, but I'll never know.

Takeaway review: Very authentic Chinese food. Package with care. fast delivery.

Salt and Pepper chips, tasty but expensive

The food is very authentic, probably the best Chinese restaurant in Manchester!

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.

Worst place ever only got a chicken fried rice and they couldn’t even get that right it was boiled rice with a bit chicken not worth the money and tasted vile straight in the bin do not go here avoid avoid avoid

Authentic chinese. Great homemade dumplings!

Food is nice..staff are friendly...however there is No card payment here. only cash payment even in corona time.. no proper printed bill.. amount written in a piece of paper.. i am not fully sure how legal this is..

Decent food and nice people who make you feel welcome.

Great food friendly atmosphere. A good place for authentic Chinese cuisine, and vegetarian food options a good night out for the family. Seating is limited but worth the wait

Great food and friendly service

Great food and good customer service

Great find, fabulous hand made noodles, dim sum of the highest order. Great value too.

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.

very nice place ,cheap and very nice.

Price is way much cheaper than other chinese restaurants nearby. Taste great. Although when they said the food is spicy, i couldnt taste any spicy at all. Hahaha... this place really need better recognition

I’ve just had an order via Deliveroo and I must say I’m blown away. Everything was beautiful, and in very generous portions. I had salt and pepper chips (the best I’ve ever had), pan fried pork buns which were filled to the brim, moist, and just so lovely, and something called Hot and Numbing sliced pork. My face is hot, numb, and very happy. Everything was so delicious this will definitely be the only Chinese take-away I use in the future.

delicious and clean Chinese dishes. Worth to try here

Great place for proper Dim Sum..

Please try the Fish hot pot, taste is amazing. You even have the choice to add stuff like fried tofu or vegetables.

第一次在此店吃饭，一部分东西很难吃，吃到胡萝卜既然是坏的，以后不会再去了。

Good food, slightly too much salt

The price is reasonable . The food is delicious , especially the dum sum taste are same as HK and Macau .

Yummy Chinese dim sum special the shallow fried burns stuffed with pork & veg + spring onion pancakes very tasty ,🙂🙂🙂

This very very authentic restaurant is worth a visit. The menu is a giggle just trying to understand the mixed written languages.. The food itself was different but very enjoyable. Don’t expect the served dish to be quite what you was anticipating, but still very enjoyable. Our waitress was brilliant and helped us confirming our exact choice. Note... cash only and not alcohol licence... Like I said, different, authentic and worth a visit. We will defiantly give it another visit.

Went here before a gig as it is directly opposite the Apollo, nicest Chinese food I’ve ever had. Had 3 different starters between us and 3 mains and all were really tasty, just ask the waitress for information on the menu as some isn’t English!

Literally opposite the Apollo. Beautiful food and good service. Huge menu and fresh food. Will definitely be back here again!! One of the best Chinese meals I've had.

Nice food but don't b brave and ask for spicy food lol

Looking for somewhere to eat before going to Apollo across the road, what a find, fab place, small but friendly - advise to book, we went at 5pm and was busy, some of the menu is just by picture or not in english, but just ask they are very helpful, food was amazing, beef in pepper sauce was simple but very tasty, beef just melted in your mouth, chicken curry was really good to. the other food they were bringing out for people looked really good to. no alcohol served but not a problem for us, also beware cash only, though there is a cash machine round the corner at tesco express. would come again if in the area.

Price wise really cheaper than the normal restaurant. Most restaurants have at least 30 n over tables but this 1 has 7 max. Really a small place. 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.

Food fantastic D staff very helpful and friendly and welcoming N very clean Restaurant too.

The food was nice, the prices were good and enjoyed service and atmosphere. Will definitely come back.

This place has opened predominantly to serve Chinese people, Chinese food. It’s not like the Cantonese/Hong Kong we are usually served. Consequently it will not be to everyone’s taste. I really enjoyed the opportunity to try something different and will go back. Be warned, the...

Found the restaurant whilst looking for somewhere to eat before a concert. The food and the service where fantastic, the lady serving was very helpful and suggested some great dishes. If you like real food then this is the place to go !!!!

New alternative Chinese restaurant, mainly Cantonese and Sichuan dishes, the Dim Sum are surprisingly good.

It's not too bad....I'll have to try something else on the menu when we sit in for a meal....

Wide selection of food. Delicate flavours instead of usual stronger tasting Cantonese food. Dim sum nicely flavoured and prepared. Noodles made fresh to order. Prices are lower than other Chinese restaurants.

Nice, small restaurant. Feel like home.

Little gem, the place is always welcoming. Food are well portioned for the price.

Opened recently but so so busy. Food is amazing quality as its a real dim sum chef behind the kitchen!
