Kong's NQ in Manchester

Great food, great service - good halal options and the non alcoholic peach ring mocktail was fantastic!

The chicken Taco's are totally fire. The burger unfortunately was a bit meh. I tried a little bit of the meat (it was my partners) and it was quite dry. Service wise there was one server who whizzed around everywhere and put the others to shame. Last but not least.. Gotta love that Blue Ribbon lager.

This place is amazing! I'm a visiting American, and the fried chicken was better than anything I've had back home. Honestly, I think I ascended to a higher plane. Fries were amazing, too, and the service was phenomenal.

American visiting family in manchester here... we could not believe how good the fried chicken was. Seriously, it's fantastic. We were willing to tear up the Declaration of Independence and unite again if it meant we could get this chicken in the States. 5 stars.

Always wanted try this place since seeing beard on YouTube di the food challenge. It didn't disappoint! Staff were super friendly, even thanked the chefs personally as the food was that good. Normally with the vegi alternatives it lacks texture or flavour and boom 💥 was great. The mac and cheese is a must try Thank you!

Having visited Kong’s for the first time I can safely say it’s the best taco place available in NQ! If you’re looking for a variety of tacos as well as burgers and sides then Kong’s is the place to go! With a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of seating Kong’s provides friends and family the best food experience even with a view of their open kitchen! I’d recommend getting 5 tacos with a side or 3 and a side as they can be quite filling! Will definitely be back to try their burgers!

One of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. The Kimchi Mayo was so nice as well. Recommended 😍

Absolutely wonderful experience here today. I came with 2 friends for a roast at 2pm- we were given a great table by the window and we all had the fried chicken roast. The fried chicken was perfect - divine and it worked really well with the roast. We ordered cauliflower cheese as an add on and it was perfect. My friend ordered the buffalo potatoes as an add on and he absolutey loved them. It all felt like a proper treat. We had two different ladies that served us and they were both an utter delight and couldn't have been more lovely, personable and attentive so what an asset they are to the restaurant. Highly recommend! We'll be back. Gem of a place x

Great food, mac n cheese was sublime

Korean wings were class and it was the best Sunday dinner I've ever had ! On the dearer side but you get what you pay for ! The service was brilliant and they were all very attentive ! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Best wings I’ve had in a long time, still trying to find something close

Lovely burger but pulled pork taste abit weird but lovely staff

Stumbled across Kong's NQ yesterday and decided to give it a go. The food is amazing! I had the steak sandwich and my partner had the classic beef burger. Its very rare my partner is impressed by food (picky eater) but he was at Kong's!

Really enjoyed dinner here. The portion sizes are great and the food and service are well worth the money. The diner is conveniently located in town, close to shops, transport links and other places that may tickle your fancy.

The signature chicken burger was really juicy and succulent. We really enjoyed our meal here. The portions were huge and there was a lively atmosphere in a brilliant location. Service was very friendly and fast too.

Funky eaterie. Engaging design. A beanie with your logo would be a smart sideline Tasty burgers. The kids portion is well-sized. The seasoning on the fries is like crack 🤤. We dropped in on a midday lunch. Not so busy but understandably so ...

I eat a lot of burgers. The steak burger from this place is the best burger I’ve ever had.

9 of us went and most had various wings and burgers while I had the crispy pork belly roast which was incredible and the parsnip puree was to die for. The staff were wonderfull and nothing was too much trouble. Definately going back.

Excellent food with a good selection to choose from. Extra points for the music!

Great service and nice vibes. Went here for the AYCE taco Tuesdays and also another time for burgers. I would suggest the chicken dishes over the other meats!

Great chicken sandwich and Korean style fries…

Amazing fried chicken from the masters. You have not had fried chicken until you have been here. The tater tot fried chicken poutine with gravy and blue cheese sauce is a thing of beauty. The burgers are amazing and plenty of drink options. If you are lucky you can score the fried chicken roast dinner on a Sunday, just make sure you message them to reserve as they run out real quick. I will be back allot!!!!

Amanzing food , great service will definitely be coming back asap

Love me a bit of Kong's! Wings to die for and the best chicken burgers I've ever had. Highly recommended. 🍗❤️🍻

I go to Manchester quite a bit for gigs and I always need feeding before hand. Kongs is one of my go to places. Food is great, service is quick. Decent beer and the music is always on point. Titos vodka sauce chicken sub is my go to here. Best chicken parm style sandwich I’ve had this side of the Atlantic.

Great place to go for some quality chicken wings. Went here on the recommendation of another restaurant. The service was very good and the food was excellent. Will definitely come back again.

Amazing place, food is great even for tourists, and the atmosphere is amazing. Employees are nice and bubbly! Nothing but praises from the 2 guys from Denmark 👍🏻

We went for dinner here a couple of days ago, 8 people. The staff were simply amazing and welcoming. I asked them if I could have a salad instead of fries in my chicken platter and they went the extra mile accommodating my request. Really pleasant experience, the staff is the biggest asset this place has.

Quality grub, we had burger, steak ciabatta, and wings. The dude that served us was quality. Recommended orems and explained to me what certain things were. He was super helpful and let us in early before our booking time. Definitely be back again.

Great place and also sells Arley Plant Based food which is Delicious!!

Pork belly roast was immaculate

The warm staff, delicious burger and fries and wine made for a happy dinner

One of the best chicken burgers I’ve ever had. The service was fantastic, especially from the chef who made sure we enjoyed our meal. The atmosphere is also great with awesome graffiti around the joint. 5/5 amazing place

First time visiting Kong’s last night with my husband food was absolutely amazing the staff are really friendly nice warm welcome when you walk in 100/100 will definitely be visiting again soon

Been wanting to go here for a while and it didn't disappoint I had the buffalo wings which were spot on I then had a mushroom burger which was tasty but could of been a bit warmer if I'm honest. There own beer was tasty. And the family loved there meals. Only criticism would be for better chips it's not hard to make your own chips it would compliment there food nicely.

Best chicken burger around! Having indulged in the excellence of Kong's Signature Sandwich a couple of years back I've been meaning to go back for another fix for a while. It is practically faultless from the hefty crisp and tasty chicken thigh, to the sweet pickles and and fresh lettuce trimmings. Perfect amount of burger sauce, soft sweet bun, chicken skin crackling for added crunch and an addition of a hash brown (my recommended extra!). I'd say I enjoyed the burger more last time but that was because it was a new experience and more so because I doubled the chicken! I didn't on this occasion to leave room for some wings. I had the Tito Pizza ones which were nice and crisp still even with the generous covering of marinara style sauce. Plenty of pepperoni and salami bits too. Really enjoyable. The place is hugely popular and for good reason! Staff were a delight to add further to a fantastic eating experience. Previous visit (Dog Bowl): Unbelievable chicken burger. The signature sandwich was an absolute banger! Huge juicy thigh in the most deliciously seasoned crispy coating. Doubling up was a brilliant decision. Fries were bog standard but were salted well and crispy. Taken me a while to try Kongs out and I'm delighted I finally have! The staff were a real pleasure too.

Friendly staff, delicious food and a cool vibe

Great place with fabulous tacos and AMAZING cocktails! Bloody Mary is one of the best I have ever tasted! And the tacos are to die for! We went for the 10 tacos option. Recommended!

Went here yesterday with my partner, we booked a table online but turned up abit earlier and was seated right away as it wasn't too busy. The staff were all super friendly and made you feel welcome. The restaurant itself is interesting to look at and is quite quirky. We were served quickly, and I had a tasty cocktail. The food was lovely, me and my partner both had a cheeseburger but we also had BBQ wings and we really enjoyed them. Definitely wanting to come back to try the tacos and other wings on the menu.

Great chicken burger and beer, highly recommend

Steak sandwich is to die for. Best steak Sanger of 2024

very normal place, absolutely nothing special but nothing to complain about, the food was ok but not my favourite, just another pub in town, nothing to avoid if they have a seat but nothing I would recommend to a tourist

Great food. Great service! Would have loved to have seen milkshakes, sodas and floats on the menu though they would have paired perfectly with the food

Food was amazing! So tasty 🤌🏼.. Staff were really attentive and helpful. Definitely be going again and highly recommend

Best Wings Wordwide, also The Service. Thx from Berlin

Staff, food, everything was amazing. Must try!

Having eaten more than my fair share of wings in this life, I can comfortably say that these are some of the best. Crispy batter yet somehow airy. Juicy chicken and pin perfect buffalo sauce. As ever in Manchester, all the staff are lovely and make you feel welcome.

Fries were bog standard fries, over seasoned and salty, to the point of being inedible...and that's without the bland parmesan topping [Not the only reviever to comment on this]. Burger was uneventful, batter was bland and covered in sauce - wouldn't have known it was 'Korean' unless someone told me. Partner ordered the Blue Cheese burger and came dipped in same sauce. Bun was a dry standard Sainsbury's white roll. I dont enjoy fast food but wish we'd saved the £47 including 10% automatically added service charge and gone to an average chain like KFC or Popeyes. Watched staff sighing in the kitchen in view of customers and atmosphere was lacking, although some of the tacos on the 'Taco Tuesday' menu from the table next to us looked edible. Don't believe the influencer hype you see on Insta. Perhaps focus on perfecting the original product to be the best chicken burgers in Manchester and leave the Taco night's to the big players in the NQ.

The food was absolutely phenomenal and very filling. Great portion sizes. The staff were really helpful. Worth every penny.

Tacos and pizza fries were a bit disappointing but the chicken wings were incredible as were the staff.

Friendly staff and service, we were offered the corner sofa seat, which was cosy and comfortable. I ordered the hot honey chicken burger, the burger was a generous size, crispy burger and lots of toppings, however slightly too much honey for my liking. I wasn’t a fan of the sub, as it was too bready and rarely any filling, would definitely opt for the burgers instead. The wings were good, generous portions and decent sized wings. Warning the hot and spicy one is extremely spicy, still delicious but you got to be able to take spice to have this one! We enjoyed the pizza wings, they were crispy and the toppings worked well.

We came here and did the all you can eat taco Tuesday and absolutely loved it! As I was hungover I didn't eat half as many as Beard meets food but definitely ate my moneys worth. It was pretty dead when we went so it was nice being able to eat like absolutely monsters 😅 the tacos tasted really good! The beef ones were definitely my favourite, its very messy but very tasty indeed. 10/10 would recommend, I was going to buy a T-Shirt but had to rush out to catch out train. I'd recommend the guys update their website as it's very 2001 and maybe have an online merch store as the T-Shirts are pretty sick!

This place absolutely slaps. Went here after the dinner plans fell through in Manchester. Got a fine pork belly roast with spicy upgraded potatoes. The food was absolutely brilliant and the chefs clearly take a lot of pride in their work and most of all, they were happy which always results in incredible food imo. Wouldn’t hesitate to go again as the atmosphere, staff and food were second to none. Big thanks to Lydia for making us feel at home and providing an absolute stellar service.

Visited here after seeing it on a BeardMeetsFood video and was not disappointed. The Eggs Benedict with pulled braised beef was amazing!

My son (11yrs old) wanted to try wings for the first time so we ventured to Kongs, not being much of a wings guy, I wasn't expecting too much, the things you do for your kids. We got their at around 1pm, the place wasn't too busy and got seated really quickly by a really friendly member of staff, a few minutes later she returned to take our food and drink order. The food took about 10 minutes to arrive and was piping hot, we went for 10 buffalo wings, which my lad thought he'd demolish on his own (he managed 3!), and I have to say, they were delicious. The coating on the wings was superb and the accompanying sauces (we went for the buffalo and blue cheese) were top notch. Wings still wouldn't be my first choice for a meal out but if I ever fancied them again, this would be the place I came to. Lovely staff, friendly service and great food.

The wings are fantastic. It is absolutely the best wing I had in town to date. One star deducted is simply too much sauce which makes it a tad bit salty to my liking. And the chips is just not crispy at all. Otherwise, this is a place I definitely will visit again.

The food here was OK enough but the service and atmosphere were patchy. Everyone was polite but we were waiting ages at every stage; getting menus, ordering drinks, getting food, getting the bill. Our waitress, whilst nice, ghosted us for most of the meal and spoke so quietly that only dogs could hear her. The kitchen is open so you could hear the chef shouting for service whilst the waiting staff floated around ignoring him. Props to the waiter in the Yoda pyjamas (!) who was doing his best and noticed we had been waiting ages for the card machine. There was a group on the next table to us who were needlessly rude to Yoda pants, which added to the overall grim atmosphere. Maybe it's better in the evening as the slightly shabby/dirty interior definitely felt like it should be seen at night rather than in the midday sun. I don't normally bother posting bad reviews but this was NOT cheap and they stuck a 10% service charge on the bill that I didn't really feel I could ask to be removed.

Seven of us went in for the Taco Tuesday - all you can eat tacos in 90 minutes for £24. Starts with four of a flavour and then come in twos. I tried all but the pulled chicken, which my colleagues said were quite spicy. All the ones I ate were delicious, coming with a great selection of ingredients and flavours that were unique to each one. My personal favourite was the crispy fried chicken, but these are also the most filling so if you want to hit big numbers you may wish to limit these ones 🤣. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive to ensure that the food kept coming as we were eating. The standard menu had a great looking selection of food so would love to come back for a more "conventional" meal! Highly recommended.

Partner and I went for Dinner and were recommended the Nduja Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich. The recommendation did not disappoint! Hands down best chicken burger I’ve eaten, the sauce was incredible. Partner got the upgraded parmesan basil mayo fries and I got the normal, both were crisp and seasoned perfectly! Staff were extremely friendly and attentive! Would definitely recommend!

Good Veggie burgers and friendly staff! Terrible music.

The words "omg SOO good!" Were said multiple times...food is amazing, service is quick and friendly. I mean absolutely fantastic all round!

Not much to say. Tasty good food. Perfect portions. Excellent service from Lydia. Brunch was a blast. Would recommend coming here to all of my friends and family. We will be back soon.

Kong's was great. Quality food and excellent team, felt really welcome. My only small criticism was that the fries were just a little too salty for me, but still tasted great.

First date night of 2024. Food was amazing Atmosphere was great. Staff friendly and attentive. I had the mushroom melt burger, my hubby had the kimcheese burger. Both juicy and delicious. Have already recommended to several friends and family

Despite visiting here early in the day the service was exceptional, friendly and inviting. The food was delicious as were the cocktails and great they serve drinks earlier than most bars! Would love to have had more of an empty stomach before visiting to sample more of the menu! Also fantastic options for vegetarians and vegans.

Overpriced tacos, service without a smile, flat atmosphere and 10% service charge added onto the bill. We won’t be returning!

Came with some friends this evening, The host was lovely and attentive , explained the menu well. The food was amazing , good quality, really tasty, we all enjoyed it. Only negative was that the chips were very salty. The restaurant was clean throughout. Average spend for a burger, chips and a pint 22£ which included gratuity which is not bad for NQ.

Had a great time visiting with some friends. The staff and atmosphere were welcoming, and there was no issue with a walk-in table of 8 people. Food was very tasty and service was fast and friendly. I'll definitely go back when I'm in Manchester again!

First time here and had a wonderful experience. Will certainly call again. The food was lovely, the staff friendly and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Thank you

ALL u can eat. Chicken wasn't cooked unfortunately. Not impressed.

Started with great cocktails then had the mushroom melt and parmesan/basil/mayo fries. This was one of the best burgers I've ever eaten (and I've eaten a lot of burgers!). Fries were perfect, well seasoned and good taste, big portion too. Service was spot on, attentive but not interfering. Great music, my only tiny complaint was it was slightly too loud, but that is probably just me showing my age!

Went for taco Tuesday which was a blast! Service was excellent and super friendly. Music was indie and fit the vibes of northern quarter. I recommend their fried chicken and pulled beef tacos. Nice selection of low alcohol beers which was a surprise.

Great place, the food was great, and the service was really friendly.

Accidently found this place and decided to go in. Lovely staff, really nice food and very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend 👌🏻

Such friendly, personable service. Had the fried chicken roast and wow! Exceeded expectation, sounds wild but this was easily top 2 roast dinners I’ve had in Manchester. Gravy was lush, chicken was crispy and juicy and delicious. Carrots, cabbage, yorkie and parsnip mash were all gorg. 10/10

We visited here on Sunday the 3rd. The staff was so welcoming and friendly and the food was amazing. I had the buffalo and blue cheese burger with Korean fries, was just full of flavour and my partner had the honey chicken burger and his fries was amazing think they was like parmesan and like some nice mayo. We had double booked ourselves and had to rush our food but we can’t wait to come back and enjoy the food without having to rush so we will make sure we are not double booked next time 😂

Impossible wing challenge, you can only order 5 wings per tray, which means due to time constraints you can't order more than 40 per hour, but the record is 50? 🤔

Great food great service love it.

Not a lot of atmosphere which was a disappointment. Food was good. Service was brilliant

Food was good, a little pricey for what we got but the quality was good, service was great and the whole vibe of the place was really nice. Everything was filling, and the portion sizes were big enough to not leave us hungry for more. Would recommend the tacos, as they were messy but tasty!

Staff were good and helpful but food was expensive for what it was. Food was sooo salty that I didn’t finish my food. That being said, good amount of vegan options. Restaurant had very loud rock music.

Absolutely amazing food with extremely friendly service. Came here after seeing Beard Meats Food do their taco challenge. Definitely would come back here again.

Very busy, glad we booked. The chicken burger was amazing & the buffalo fries were the best.

Great place, had lunch there and it was fantastic :)

Great burgers and Top service 😋

Delicious brunch in a really welcoming and friendly atmosphere! Higky recommend the Fried Chicken french toast.

Went for tacos and was not disappointed, all were very delicious.

Decent food but you'll definitely get a hair in it

My food was amazing, the steak cooked to perfection, I've been here a few times, they never let me down, the staff are very attentive, nothing is to much trouble for them, thanks for our lovely meal.

Italian gals here! Food was banging and service was absolutely amazing! We’ve been served by a super lovely lad with white t shirt and beard and he was the best ever , thanks a lot x

Lovely food, Lovely staff and a nice vibe! :)

The food was incredible and the staff were very friendly. Food was a bit pricey but still tasted great

Absolutely unbelievable food. So fresh and fun. Great and fast service and lovely staff.

Service was friendly and efficient, atmosphere inside was great. Food and drinks were okay - tacos were tiny (tortilla) and too much meaty filling compared to anything else.

Our experience was just ok. We had wings and a burger. The wings were pretty good, but nothing above what you would get in a chain restaurant. The chicken burger was incredibly disappointing, I went for their speciality burger but it was incredibly bland. Difficult to say I'd return with so many other options nearby.

Quite possibly the best wings I ever had. We had Korean wings and buffalo wings with blue cheese. They were amazing. In fact my mouth is watering thinking about them. I will return

Couldn’t recommend more. Great scran and even better service. The owner, Tom, has clearly put a lot of time and effort into this place. After my second visit, this place was very worthy of a 5* Review

All you can eat tacos, managed to put down 18 in the time limit and they were all delicious. some interesting beers on offer too.

The team in KONGS were accommodating - extremely friendly and Dan knows how to make a great daiquiri. Cannot wait to go back

Probably the messiest to eat but also one of the most delicious chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had (buffalo fried chicken sandwich)
