Manchurian Chinese Restaurant in Dundee City

Friendly efficient staff served us all up a hot tasty meal, which everyone enjoyed. This restaurant is in the centre of town, but is a hidden gem. I didn't even know it was there. Choice on the menu exceeded expectations and several different dishes were ordered. Lots of Cinese Families were eating which is always a good sign. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal. There was one sting in the tail. One of our party couldn't eat all her meal and asked for a doggy bag. Her meal was put into two plastic containers for her to take home. When we got the bill, we saw that we had been charged 30p each for the containers and 10p for the carrier bag. First time ever have I been charged for a doggy bag. Be aware......

Visited this gem of a restaurant today.Made to feel welcome as soon as we entered.Staff very friendly and helpful .Food delicious.Would highly recommend this restaurant. 10 out of 10 from us .We will definitely return 😁😁

I reviewed here before, when I had visited with my partners two sons. 4 Star then. Now 3 Star. This time, it was with my partner, who took ill previously and so missed out on a meal. Place is STILL slow to clear tables. Bar STILL has a glass & bottle build up. Our starters arrived okay. But main meal got lost in system. So we had to wait ages on it. No complimentary drink or anything. They did apologise. But not really great. Food still good. Gents toilet STILL had no loo paper. Not needed by me. But poor in TWO visits.... it was still missing. Then again it took ages to get anyone to bring bill. I still say they are understaffed. Perhaps the main thing is money. Yet place is busy, busy. Puzzling. Wont rush back.

Shocking experience from start to finish, should’ve realised it was going to be a disaster when they lost our booking for 12 people. Big delay in all the dishes being served resulting in a number of cold dishes. Different dishes received to what was ordered. Starters were overpriced and not particularly appetising. Owner worked hard to try and rectify the issue with free rice & noodles unfortunately the damage had already been done. 5% discount on the bill was a bit of an insult considering all the issues we experienced.

Tasty, hot and quick service. Plenty of choice on the dim sum menu and the a la carts menu. Children enjoyed everything they ate, thank you

We ordered a takeaway for a family birthday meal. The food was very bland. All chicken was rubbery, there was no sauce with the chow mein, the chicken fried rice had no soy sauce on it and was absolutely tasteless. Overall, the food was really disappointing, and spoilt our family birthday meal.

Really nice food, pretty friendly service. Tucked away in a quiet street so easy to miss but worth a visit! The pork meatballs from the dim sum were a highlight!

This place is a hidden gem . Well worth a visit. Food was amazing . The service was so good they couldn’t do enough for us . Definitely got your moneys worth.

Not been here for awhile because of negative experience . This time round , the service was great, food was tasty and all in all so glad we came back! Well done guys!

The Manchurian is busy busy, so best booking. Food is good. I had King Prawn , with Cashew nut. Also fried rice. Starter was Deep fried squid. The place was buzzing, but we felt there were not quite enough staff. Tables were slow to be cleared , once folk had left, yet staff seemed to be on the go all the time. Drinks glasses all piled up on bar. Seemed to be only one poor woman on the bar. One bad thing. When at the toilet, I noticed the one cubical in the gents had no toilet roll. Customers should not have to be chasing down staff to get loo paper, if needed. So a FOUR only. Place COULD be potentially a FIVE. When it came time to pay, it was very hard to get someone's attention, to obtain the Bill.

No idea why this place gets such brilliant reviews we had a very poor experience. On a positive what little staff there is are lovely very friendly etc but not enough of them. Tables lying dirty for ages, stood at the door for ages before being seated despite having booked. Sat down and not offered drinks for about 20 minutes. Was in the restaurant for a full hour before we finally got food which was disappointing once it arrived. Toilets were filthy, seats not been cleaned, toilet paper all over the floor and over flowing bins. Would not go back.

Amazing food even better service really enjoyed it I recommend Crispy chicken Schezwan was amazing that and the salt pepper chips, chicken wings all great

Went there with my family to eat. The food was great. However a few weeks later got a parking ticket for staying in the carpark for too long while in the restaurant eating. Went back to the restaurant and was told they would talk to the carpark company. I also had challenged the fine. It took until November for only to be told I now needed to pay £100 for the fine. We were a walk-in and hadn’t looked at the signs outside regarding notifying the restaurant about having a car in the carpark. Which is partly our fault. However, good customer service would have been to asked if we had a car in the carpark. We didn’t look on the menus or any cards on the table as a menu was handed to us staring anything about parking. So a warning when going there to eat, 45mins free parking only. And remember to tell the restaurant you have a car to extend your stay.

Absolutely the best quality Chinese food in Dundee. Whether a quick lunch, sit in dinner or evening takeaway you really can't beat them for the taste and service.

The best Chinese restaurant for a long time. Wonderful food and service. amazing Crispy Duck and pancakes.

Ordered special fried rice and curry sauce. Got to be one of the worst I’ve ever had. Some meat was impossible to identify and didn’t taste like anything I would recognise, chewed once and put back on plate. Rice tasteless and greasy. Curry sauce lumpy and claggy. Hubby ordered prawn curry which was just passable. Would not return.

Shame, 2 special Birthdays, 10 of us for a meal, £320 later, 2 or 3 part of starters appeared, 20 mins later the next few then so on, 45 min empty plates sat then finally someone came took another drinks order (after us going. Searching, Main meals were worse, 3 or 4 arrived, then another few, they forgot about some and then by time sides arrived for main meal, some Of them were finished. Simply told ahh short staffed, No apology no nothing, Shame as recommended by friends Waste of £320 no sincere apology and meals ruined

Made a regular return visit here, based on previous visits. The menu has shrunk in choices once more. The place was still very busy with both dining in and takeaways. The portion size seemed to have been reduced very slightly, but the quality has remained the same. The service on the night was by only two servers, (not sure why). Nevertheless the two girls did a wonderful job. That said, as the place was full, we did have to wait quite a while between ordering and receiving our courses. They had a special homemade mango desert which was recommended. We tried it and were disappointed. Although it taste slightly of mango it didn't ring any bells, and what we received for the price we paid was poor. Avoid this item. Not worth it. We will return, but may wait a wee while.

Went at just before 3pm and was disappointed to be told was closing till 5pm.Went back later and was glad we did food was amazing along with service would definitely visit again

This is really the best Chinese in Dundee. God knows how the place isn't packed to the rim every night, it deserves to be. The owners travel through from Glasgow every night, that's dedication for you! You are usually given one on one service when they can, is just a delight to go here. Keep up the good work.

Brilliant yet again and the owner has a brilliant sense of humour and the food is first class 👍my first time trying chickens feet that to be honest doesn’t sound that appealing but they are delicious 😋 we now have the confidence to ask for his recommendations which have been totally delicious 🤤 I’d highly recommend the Three Roasts £18.00 which is Roast Duck Roast Pork And Roast belly of Pork brilliant but this visit I asked for his recommendation which started with the chickens Feet (delicious) then a sort of mixed meat with sirloin chicken pork King prawn 🍤 and duck roast again delicious 😋 with several starters (5) and 4 meals with 6 drinks (soft) the final bill was only £110 Add the £20 we gave as a tip it is extremely delicious tasty and good value

Having booked elsewhere only to find that it had closed a couple of weeks ago, we walked around and found The Manchurian. Beautiful food and very friendly staff. If we're in Dundee again, we'll certainly be back. Thank you.

Extrem lange Wartezeiten fuer durchschnittliches Essen. Service sehr langsam. Restaurant sehr laut.

Picked up a takeaway while visiting Dundee. Service was prompt and friendly and the food was extremely good, so much better than your typical takeaway, but still excellent value. Very much recommended and worth making the effort to get over to.

I haven't visited since before COVID but we made last minute plans to go for dinner. We hadn't booked but tables were available. The restaurant was busier than when I've visited before which was nice to see. The food was excellent. We had Thai spring rolls and king prawn toast to start followed by honey chilli chicken and chilli beef. You can tell the food is made fresh, good quality ingredients and really tasty. The only downside was the service. The staff were friendly but not attentive. Slow to take orders, clear plates etc. I can't wait to come back again to try some more dishes!

This was proper Chinese food in all its glory. Such an amazing choice - the duck was delicious and the seafood in broth was exceptional. Dim Sum was also excellent. The staff were so friendly and helpful too.

The food is delicious and the service is excellent 👍 highly recommended hope to be back this weekend

Visited the Manchurian for the first time after reopening after refurbishment. As always the service and food were excellent. This restaurant prides itself on producing excellent food in a welcoming and friendly manner. The restaurant was quite busy but the service was efficient. A family run establishment serving delicious food.

What a beautiful surprise for mothers day, my daughter booked me into one of the lunch sittings to my favourite restaurant in Aberdeen. We have been coming here for many year & love their food. Staff are always friendly & helpful, service & food excellent. Chinese mini market next door too.?

So happy to have James and family back in Dundee. I’d missed them so much. The food - and service - were just as wonderful as when the Manchurian originally opened. Great to see a lot of old specials (especially Mouthwatering Chicken) on the menu.

Lovely food and the service was amazing. Dim sum, garlic chilli chicken and chow mein were perfect. The young lady and the gent who looked after us were lovely

Lovely food in this restuarant. Staff very attentive. Doesn't look upmarket but very well worth eating here. Food with chilli is hotter than most other places but delicious

Eaten here many times in the past it was always excellent. We visited again early February thinking we were in for a treat as normal…….Wrong! We had crispy duck for starters which was a pile of soggy duck which was absolutely tasteless with zero presentation....

we went there last week and the food was absolutely horrible all you could taste was salt and nothing else no other flavour when we told the staff the food was bad they were smiling and laughing and didn't take it seriously. AVOID

Went here last night for a birthday treat with husband Waiter was nice but that was about it The starters of salt n pepper wings were mediocre 4 tiny wings the 2 small skewers of chicken satay were edible the salt n pepper ribs were...

Took my family and their partners here for a Christmas meal. Food was delicious, great sized portions, service very quick and friendly, restaurant was very clean as were the toilets. Any payment by card issues were resolved as we paid by credit card. Thoroughly recommend...

The first time we went we were a bit apprehensive as they only accepted cash payments with no card facility However the food was fantastic so decided to go back again and had the opportunity to speak to the manager who explained they were fighting...

Excellent food served by friendly and attentive staff. The portion sizes were good value and the drinks were good measures. Lovely toilets, but cash only let it down

Very busy - we went on a Friday evening - definitely advise to book in advance not just turn up. Good atmosphere and very clean. Staff very helpful and welcoming and good service. Good selection of Dim Sum which is sold during all meals and...

Food and service excellent, many Chinese families which is always a good sign. We always try to hear what they are ordering as unfortunately we are not very adventurous with Chinese menu, but this is THE place to try different Chinese dishes to what you...

Myself and my partner had a meal here tonight, quick service, nice friendly atmosphere and the food was great we both loved it and would go back again. Massive bowls of curry which was piping hot

It's been a wee while since our last visit due to the pandemic, but was happy to see that the quality had not diminished. We booked early and was not surprised to see quite a few people had had the same idea. All the serving...

Visited this excellent Chinese Restaurant on 13 Mar 22. This was our first visit and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food was well cooked and presented by friendly staff. The decor was nice and fresh and the ambience relaxing.

Decided to visit this Chinese, as we were staying at the holiday inn around the corner. Friendly staff, great service and the food was really good. It all arrived piping hot and the portion sizes were large. Would recommend to others.

Had a lovely meal everything was first rate from start to finish. It started with the waiter who took us to our table very friendly a bit of a joke and a laugh with my husband. He took the car registration so that we wouldn’t...

Have been here a couple of times now, and loved it. Not an over fancy place, but the service and food were both excellent. The staff are very polite and helpful. There is a good range of food to pick from. The food is very...

Been here many times over the years even although not from Dundee. But this was the worst visit by far. It doesn’t even deserve the one star quite frankly as we were totally ignored. No customer likes that. When we arrived we were told the...

It's trip advisor, so nearly everyone gives either 1 star because basically they chose the wrong restaurant and it was not what they wanted, or 5, because it deserves it. Three-star places like good Wetherspoons don't get reviewed I have been here with family and...

Mediocre food. Car park signs not clearly legible in the dark. Staff should make it clear it's NOT a customer car park...hit with £60 fine. Utter nonsense.

As well as eating in the restaurant, food can also be ordered for takeaway. However, they do not deliver so you have to collect it. I ordered on the website at 17.15 for pick up at 18.10. We arrived at 18.10 on the dot and...

It's not likely you would happen across this restaurant as it is a little out of the way, but it's worth looking for. It's upstairs and a little 'functional' until you enter the restaurant area. It's not the fanciest of decor either, but the food...

Went here with my brother last night. We were initially given the standard menu, but when we asked about dim sum, we were given the second dim sum menu. Having never had dim sum before, the menu is easy to read and has pictures too!...

Very good food. The service was good too. We try to eat Chinese wherever we go for a break. The Manchurian had a good review status on Trip Advisor. But was not open on Wednesday so we had to wait until Thursday. It was worth...

Visited early on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was fairly busy and there was a decent ambiance. We ordered the mixed starters platter for two to begin. Overall I would say we were slightly disappointed with the quality but the quantity was more than ample....

£4.20 for what looks like scraps and should have been ribs. Absolutely ridiculous and will never be back. The place should be totally embarrassed!!

Visited with my Girlfriend for the first time. She has lived in China and was searching for more authentic Chinese food here in the UK. After asking for the authentic Chinese menu in mandarin (it’s in English so you can ask for it too) we...

Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Manchurian. The decor is simple but clean, and the wait staff friendly. It sits above an Asian supermarket so is a bit quirky - though this adds to the experience. The dim sum and steamed buns were fantastic, and the...

Visiting friends who recommended and booked this restaurant for an early evening meal, however it soon filled up and appeared to be well liked. It is located on a minor road and has plenty of parking in the front, although a sign indicates limited parking...

Great find down a small side street in Dundee . Waited around 10 mins for a table as there was only 2 people serving , but once we were seated service was great . Food was lovely , nice and fresh . Would go again...

First time in Dundee, and after a disappointing afternoon of closed attractions, we were in need of something to cheer us up. The Manchurian was just what we needed. I'd read a few reviews earlier that day and made a note of the location, in...

It had been too long for a return visit, (Covid-19 restrictions). As is normal with this place, a warm welcome was waiting. The menu is somewhat reduced from a previous visit, but nevertheless still full of very tasty meals. Tables were more spaced out than...

I can't praise this place too highly. Everything was just right. The service was welcoming and efficient and the food was delicious. We will definitely return.

First time visiting this restaurant and it didn’t disappoint, food was exceptional, large portions and very very tasty. Service was excellent and very quick. Only couple things I could fault it on, no children’s menu or even half portions for children and need a better...

The food here has always been very good but we visited on 27th June and the food was awful. This was the best Chinese in Dundee. Not now!

Good food but service shocking. Waited over an hour between courses. We got a round of drinks free but did not make up for the awful service. Manager was not that interested in our complaint

I had a take away due to the pandemic ,,haven eaten here many times before i was looking forward to my meal ,,The meal was cold , the chicken look like it had just been ripped from a carcase and had lumps of grizzle ,,the...

My son and I just had a roast pork curry delivered, it was one of the nicest I have tasted in a long time!

Ordered at 5pm advised it would be 7pm which was fine. At 7.10 called to establish time of arrival. We were told the driver had left “some time ago and would be with us soon”. At 7.40 no arrival. Called again to be told could...

Zero faults. Food was amazing all dishes tasted fab, especially the Kung Po Chicken. The staff were lovely and the prices are really good! Would 100% recommend this place and we will definitely be back.

I am Chinese, to be honest, sometimes very difficult to find a real nice Chinese restaurant in Scotland, even in Edinburgh! The Manchurian surprised me and the crispy duck and Ginger and Spring onion Crab which are so so so delicious, friendly staff, I will...

During the epidemic, the food in this restaurant still maintained a very good taste. The owner would give a pack of masks to the guests for free. We saw the restaurant donating masks for the nursing center and food for the ambulance center at the...

Our first ever try at Dim sum for starters did not disappoint. Nice textures and tasty dipping sauce. We had the cashew beef and chilli shredded chicken plus a very good portion of fried rice for main. A solid option for a great Chinese meal...

Este es uno de los mejores restaurantes chinos en Dundee y tendría que decir en Tayside. Cuando visitamos Dundee con amigos o familiares, siempre venimos a almorzar o cenar y la experiencia gastronómica siempre es fantástica. El restaurante está situado arriba del supermercado chino, ¡también merece una visita! Puede subir las escaleras hasta el restaurante o, si tiene problemas de movilidad, hay un ascensor que lo lleva al primer piso. El restaurante en sí es espacioso y acogedor, limpio y ordenado. El personal es siempre muy acogedor, amable y hace todo lo posible para explicar cualquier plato que tal vez no haya probado antes o del que no esté seguro. Siempre se le da tiempo para revisar el menú, hay tantos platos maravillosos para elegir y yo personalmente trato de pedir algo diferente cada vez que visitamos. Esta vez tuvimos los rollitos de primavera de verduras, con salsa de chili. ¡Absolutamente fantástico! Las galletas de gambas también son buenas, no demasiado aceitosas. . . . . . Para nuestros platos principales, mi amiga y mi hija comieron pollo al curry con arroz frito con huevo y yo comí chow mein de verduras. ¡La comida es tan fresca y llena de sabor! Una sensación de sabor por decir lo menos. El dueño se toma su tiempo para venir y preguntarnos si disfrutamos de la comida. Incluso le mostró a mi hija cómo usar los palillos correctamente, aunque soy un profesional en este punto ???? ‍??? Si pudiera dar una nota más alta, ¡créanme que lo haría!

Lovely food and very friendly staff while maintaining restrictions due to covid. Everything was perfect and cannot wait to return and try the banquet for 4 people

I have been regularly traveling from Perth to visit this restaurant for years. The food is excellent and 100% authentic Chinese cuisine. No sticky, overly sweet sauces with bland main ingredients which seems to be the acceptable norm everywhere else. Go for the traditional menu, get something authentic and savour the delights. I would happily travel further to experience this. Oh, and by the way, the service is top notch and the serving staff super friendly and knowledgeable too.

Meal with the wife while in Dundee,fancied a Chinese,does not look much from outside but the service and food where excellent,great Hot and Sour Soup and 2 great mains with rice.

This was our first visit to this well known and established restaurant. It was worth the wait. The Dim Sum from first to last was truly wonderful. The staff friendly and efficient. Restaurant was spotless. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.

疫情期间叫了外卖，老板给送的外卖，不知道是不是老板第一次送外卖，他找不到Marketgait Apartments在哪里，一直在电话里不耐烦的语气责问我是不是写错地址了，不等我说完话就挂电话，态度非常差。送达以后还大声骂人，非常糟糕，对这间餐厅非常失望...

Believe this is a sister restauarant of one of our favourite Chinese places in Aberdeen. There were four in our party and we selected a banquet option, food was plentiful and just kept coming. Extremely good food, which we all enjoyed In Dundee, go visit.

Shocking do not go there. They charged £4 for two tins of soft drinks then had the cheek to add a £3 service charge onto my bill. When I go home I messaged them to try and sort this and they haven't even been bothered to reply. Food was ok but cost £33 for two main courses and two tins of diet coke. Robbery. If they had acknowledged me and tried to sort it is have been more than happy but it's the fact they're not. I don't rate the customer service atall

Visited here on Saturday night, food was absolutely delicious, service was fast and friendly staff. When I ask for the bill the staff tell me they are doing a special offer for customers who spend £50 or more get 10 masks for free.This is a very good idea and just surprised me. I would highly recommend and will be back.

Been to the one in Aberdeen so thought we would try this out during a 2day trip.Thought we would share starter of ribs ,well 4x2in long ribs came,hardly enough for 1 so left to my wife. My main Volcanic chicken was far to oily and hardly any chicken under the batter,(I also had very bad stomach next day).My wife’s prawn dish was passable but lacked taste. Poor value and they also add on 10%service charge, never again.

Got a takeaway....ordered beef in black bean sauce; beef was a bit soft and fatty and sauce did not have enough flavour. My husband got egg fu yun; said it was ok but had better..

Probably just had the best special curry ever and my missus had sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style and salt and pepper chips which she thoroughly enjoyed, think I have just found my new takeaway place, well done to the chefs

The restaurant was very quiet so a table was not a problem. Orders were taken we had half Peking duck. Whilst the food was warm when delivered it cooled quickly. (due to the room being cool). The mains were arrived in dishes were cold and the plates were cold. Therefore the food was congealed quickly. Whilst this was good the cold plates and cold room would find it difficult to recommend this place.

Outstanding food at a reasonable price for the quality. Not easy to find but well worth the effort. Some parking available

I've previously visited the Manchurian and the food was just as good. The downside is the restaurant lacks atmosphere and it was very cold which spoiled our visit. The restaurant wasn't very busy and it covers a large space but the radiators weren't on and the food got cold very quickly. Customer service was ok but the waiter was a bit over enthusiastic not allowing us sufficient time to look at menu and taking out plates seat as soon as we put the utensils down. If you are just interested in good food then the Manchurian would fit the bill but if you are looking for atmosphere and great service you would probably go elsewhere.

We ordered quarter of duck which was shredded at the table , then crispy shredded chilli beef (the best he has ever had then I ordered the special curry ( again the best I have ever had . A beautiful romantic Pre wedding meal thank you guys A MUST VISIT !!

My daughter chose this restaurant. It is a bit cold in ambience with plastic table cloths and quite stark which put me off but I promised my daughter I’d try it. I’m so pleased we did. Our Chinese waiter was helpful and friendly and the food was delicious. Probably one of the best Chinese meals I’ve had in Dundee. There is a little Chinese supermarket below which we visited and they have some great products. There is a little car park but we parked in the gellatly street car park which had no time limit.

Delicious selection of dim sum for sharing. The other dishes looked lovely too but the dim sum were great

Having visited before we were glad that the quality was still high with friendly helpful staff all at a good price

My partner and I went for set meal for two, which was lovely and excellent value. Service was spot on, friendly waiting staff and Manager also on restaurant floor making sure customers were happy.

Myself and my partner visited here for the first time on Sunday.

i was looking for an authentic Chinese dining experience but what found was a freezing restaurant with no atmosphere whatsoever. The waiter was friendly and nice but no helpful at all and very focused on making me spend as much money as possible.

Food amazing, full of flavour! Great service, well done! Been there second time and never disappointed ❤️❤️❤️

First meal from here and had lovely, quickly served chicken, ginger and spring onion meal. Totally recommended.

Recommended by the hotel to go here.

I recommend going there with a big group (10 people per table) for lunch during the weekend bc that is when they have more options for dim sum!

A family meal disastarously gone wrong. Drinks were served flat and once changed still had less fizz than a bottle of water.

Visited here following a recommendation from friends. On arrival we were quickly seated and our order taken. We noticed most of the other customers were Chinese, so always a good sign.
