Mr Man's Restaurant in Nottingham

We absolutely love this place and have been dining here for 27 years. Our first date night was here and we return at least once every few months with our children and extended family. It’s a great place for a family celebration dinner as the kitchen can cater for large numbers. My husbands 21st birthday dinner and 40th birthday dinner and celebrations were held here. The food is consistently of high standard with great quality meat and shellfish with a varied and interesting menu. Always hot and freshly made. Capital spare ribs and shredded chicken with lettuce leaves and seaweed are our favourite appetisers. Our children (now 12 and 19) always say “Mr Man’s” !! when we say where do you wanna’ eat ? The staff are so welcoming and pleased to see us and booking isn’t always necessary (but definitely advisable for 4 or more). Thank you Mr Man’s for being consistently a memorable and throughly enjoyable evening out !

this used to be my favourite place until this happened. I was put off my food and left and never came back

I tried to reserve a table today for 19:30. The lady I spoke to on the phone was very rude and completely put me off reserving a table for today or for any future occasions.

Disappointed with the food, very anglicised. Service was okay. I like the layout of the restaurant. I would expect authentic Cantonese food in a decent restaurant.

Very beautiful environment and a nice meal too. Good for a classic gathering like birthday 🎂

Sunday Buffet has a great choice of dishes. Normal menu as well, including Vegan options.

The food was good, the service was very nice, parking right in front of the door

We went to Mr mans in nottingham for a double birthday celebration,the place is getting tired and could do with a refurb .the car park was a good size .the food was of good standard but rice was slightly bland to be fair .I think it is over priced for what it is but it is a restaurant !! Wasn't too happy as they do not do a child's menu which is very strange ,also be aware that they automatically charge a 10:% service charge on top of your bill which I find shocking as its not great .it expensive for what it is ...we will not be going here again:!!!!

Food was delicious, it was a busy evening so the service was understandably slow Disabled toilets are kept locked, disabled people shouldn’t have to ask for somebody to unlock the toilet constantly, this was ridiculous and I felt like a child asking for permission each time. I asked if it could be kept unlocked and they said no. Definitely won’t be returning

I went for a family meal and we are hindus and therefore cannot eat beef. We ordered a chicken sizzler and they bought out a beef one, which we all ate and didn't find out until the bill came. The waiter tried to gaslight us into thinking thats what we ordered and we said the word "beef" sizzler but as hindus and It being against our religion we would never utter such a word. We did not get an apology nor did they take it off the bill until I had to ask, he looked me dead in the eye and said unfortunately you will have to pay for it. He took it off and I took the service charge off of course!!! be very mindful and always confirm your order and triple check allergies and any intolerance with them please. Overall the guy with the face mask was very nice, everyone else had a dull personality which is okay, but working is hospitality no one wants to be around that type of energy, do better.

Absolutely stunning 😍 Awesome in every way I can think of. 😁

Monday lunchtime set menu. Food was nice but only four customers so no atmosphere. Most staff were wearing face masks which we found off putting

I ve been served by Mr Mans .. by far one of my best dishes

Visited mid Sept 24 the buffet choice was not as good as our group had expected. Can’t fault the service and the atmosphere.

Only a small selection on eat all you can

Little to appreciate in this faded jewel. In dire need of a refresh. Food is bland and below take away standard. Prices high and staff miserable. Not for us any more.

Wonderful service Delicious food Thank you so much.

An authentic Chinese restaurant with 35 years of experience. Really friendly staff m, make you feel at home. The portion of the dishes are really good and just the right amount so no waste. Authentic Chinese food without adding too much sweetness. All in good savoury, Unami and freshness taste. Very clean restaurant. Lots of parking.

food is not as good as before £140 for 4. Won't be back

A meal for 4 £140 not as good as before. Been a few times before, excellent, but this time not impressed won't be coming back.

I took my mum here for her birthday and it was a really nice place to eat. We went at 12 and had drinks and chow mein. The staff were all friendly and the restaurant was well kept. The food was on the expensive side but it was nice for a special occasion. There are a few steps to get to the tables, so this may be worth keeping in mind if you have any accessability needs.

Good place for a gathering ... food was good, can be a bit tight sitting depending on which corner you sit in ... overall spacious though !

This restaurant is in a nice setting next to Wollaston park, which is well worth a visit. Nice restaurant and food was nice but oh dear sone of the staff need to learn how to smile. You feel like you are an inconvenience to them. They look like they have found a £1 and lost a £10! They need to learn how to smile.

Great food but on the expensive side

Not been here for a few years but shouldn't have worried, great food, great service and great staff. Certainly the best Chinese Restaurant I know of in the area.

My family used this place 20+ years ago, it was regarded as one of the best in Nottingham, sadly it's really gone down hill, the food is just like takeaway Chinese but sold at premium prices. My guess is it's changed hands at some point 💔

Went here with family to celebrate my wife's birthday. Had a set menu for 6. Starters & duck courses were very good. Main courses i found a bit disappointing. Service was quick & friendly. I thought it was expensive, but for the "best chinese in Nottingham" maybe it was to be expected.

We have been many many times as a couple and always have set menu S2! This time we came as a 4 and had the same menu! We were booked in at 6:30 on Sunday 25th! We were served by a number of staff but the initial server was really grumpy! The mixed starter was double the amount you’d get as a couple, for 4 ( as expected) The Duck consisted of exactly the same amount for 4 as we got for 2! There really wasn’t enough hoisin sauce ( 1 container) we requested more ( we were charged extra for this which was unexpected) The rice arrived ( once again a serving for 4) the other dishes appeared the same size as we’d had before as a couple!!! In other words, you are paying for 2 extra guests BUT not receiving the additional portion sizes you’d expect?! We will return as we have been coming for 35 years! We feel rather let down on this occasion

Right then Mr Mans I was not overly impressed with the food. I have visited before and been blown away but the buffet was not up to scratch Sincerely Your resident Chinese scrannage reviewer

Excellent food as always. Super tasty and highly recommended

Please avoid at all costs. Horrible undercurrent of senior staff bossing junior staff about. We gave our drinks waiter a tip as he was very pleasant and actually smiled. This was visibly taken off him when we left. Try the Mandarin in Nottingham a much better experience. Food watery, service and atmosphere appalling!! Would give it zero if I could…. Chinese canteen food at very best! Read the reviews before visiting this place…..

Please avoid this place at all costs. Food watery, atmosphere non existent and the staff were very patronising. I was waiting for Jeremy Beadle to appear the waiter was that crap!

Amazing food and amazing customer service.100% recommend

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Would definitely go again. Recommended.

Great experience once again. The menu is huge and the service great. Everything we selected was speedily delivered and was cooked to perfection.

Used to be regular many years ago but was recently at Sunday buffet and was disappointed, few staff even though they tried there best ,empty food trays not being refreshed often enough, cheap and cheerful does not agree with this high end restaurant, saying that my heart will always be at mr manns

Went to have a meal on my birthday in June 2024 with my daughter, very disappointed with the food. 2 set menu was served with egg fried rice that was served in one bowl to share. No flavours or taste beef looked rubbery on the plate which we never touched. First time I’ve paid money in a restaurant after taking one spoonful . Staff were so miserable kept starring at us throughout. One lady came after a while when she saw us not eating asking how the food was. I told her the food was not what I expected based with a friend recommendation. Paid my bill and left the place 😞☹️

Recent visit for birthday event, thought the interior looked tired. The reception felt like walking in to an office with a desk covered in paperwork, no atmosphere and the bar not open. The staff were really great and the food came out quickly. The prices seem to have gone up considerably and doesn't reflect in the quality of the food. Wouldn't go back.

It's always great eating here. If you have an occasion you'd better book ahead as they can get very busy. I think I'm sure a visit soon🤔👀😋

Excellent Chinese restaurant on the edge of Wollaton Park. Service is efficient and fast.

Went for buffet , poor quality of food. Serviceable that's about it wouldn't go again!!

Friday 17th May table for 9 never looked @ the menu took the first set meal option, just feed us, food was good & plentiful, enjoyable night, everyone left happy, total bill with drinks £354.30

Good food, would like to say great, except few dishes were off the mark, i.e. prawn toast lack-lustre and more toast than prawn, rice portions were small yet noodle portions were huge!! Decor definately needs updating, sad seeing cheap napkin serviettes, what happened to the classy Mr. Mans? Place seemes as run down as the staffs faces, only time anyone smiled is when got tip at the end..

Always good service and consistently nice food.

All the best chinese restaurant in Nottingham. Food was very tasty and staff were lovely too. The environment was good and the food came early. Too

This place serves chinese food. The portions were surprisingly small and was average in taste. We were a group of 10 and ordered 10 portions of rice. Rather than served with individually bowl-portioned rice, was given 2 half filled large bowls. After dishing out to everyone, we only got 3/4 small bowl each. When we asked for more rice, we had to pay more. This is ridiculously expensive at £3.80 per bowl of boiled rice. Service was slow. The chinese male waiters especially were particularly rude. We asked for a photo politely, he replied “i’m a waiter, not a photographer”. He reluctantly took an unnecessary 34 similar pictures of us. I would rather them telling me they are sorry for not being able to help with a simple photo than showing us the attitude. Doesn’t project a good image for the restaurant. Hostile. Don’t think will return again. Can think of some other better options elsewhere in Nottingham with better food, service and atmosphere. Could have been so much better. What a shame.

Party of 7 for a Sunday lunchtime buffet, efficient service and gorgeous fresh, hot food. Excellent choice of dishes for starters, mains and dessert. Will definitely return.

Stunning place with brilliant food. And there is a whole separate gluten free menu which is ace and a great wine list! It's expensive but it's a good treat!

Delicious Dim sum! Highly recommend the custard buns both steamed or fried. Can't wait to go back!

Sunday buffet was cold and not much choice....dated decor

The one in the city center is excellent and absolutely authentic. The one in Wollaton is your average chinese english restaurant. But þe city center place really is the dog' b.... Try the xialong bao ( pork dumplings with stock inside the dumping )

Great quality, no matter whether eating in or out

The food was excellent, and the service was very good. It's totally worth the money.

Wonderful place. We went on a Sunday lunchtime so it was a buffet menu.

Hi the only thing that is restaurant down was the state of the gents toilets stank of damp and dirty doors One of the walls had an onerous damp problem In wich looked uninviting and un hygienic Expensive restaurant you would expect better

Beyond disappointed! Staff are sullen and place has a dreadful atmosphere. Had the set menu and soup was a congealed mess, the rest of the food was expensive, bland and tasteless. And I’m sorry, but £4.50 for a small bottle of beer is just daylight robbery. Also, as others have said once you finish eating your main meal, they rip the tablecloth off and leave you with a clear cheap plastic covering. Then ask if you want to desert, which owing to this I declined when usually I would have had both dessert and coffee. Not one of the group we went with enjoyed it and we all said we would not return….if you are thinking of coming here, think again there are so many nicer places than here!

Top notch chinese restaurant in the middle of Wollaton Park. Really nice surroundings matched by the food and the service. Recommended

Nice food at a reasonable price.

The best Chinese food I have had in a long time!! The service was professional and quick. They ensured everything was sufficient.

Very enjoyable lunch. Lovely staff and excellent food.

Great food great service, not cheap but well well worth it - incase i didn’t mention, great food

Too loud. Food average but tasty.

Other priced and poor quality food. I been here a few times with my partner and we get the same food and spend £60 max between us. Went there today and spent £104. Bbq sauce taste more like a “burnt” taste rather than a Bbq. There was hair in my food. Made me feel a little suspicious when my food came out 5 mins after ordering it.The toilets are horrible smelt horrible and had poo stains inside. Lemonade was flat. The staff look miserable but talking to them seemed really nice and polite.

Take away this time... all great

Overall 5/5: An authentic Chinese restaurant with 35 years of experience. 5/5 for service. Really friendly owner and staff. Don’t worry if you don’t understand Chinese food and what they gonna be like. They are always patient to explain to you. 5/5 for value. Averagely 25-30 per person will make you really full. The portion of the dishes are really good. 5/5 for taste. Really authentic Chinese food without adding too much sweetness. All in good savoury, Unami and freshness taste. They got true “Wok Chi”. 5/5 for environment. You got parking there and dining in a mansion like building. Clean and we don’t see greasy floor here, which is uncommon for Chinese restaurants because of their ways of cooking.

Chinese New year celebrations. Perfect with sensational fireworks and plenty of great food.

Very over priced and rushed Went for evening meal and were seated as soon as we entered. 1 of our party went to the loo on the way to the table which seemed to agitate staff who seemed annoyed they had not taken a menu at this point. We were asked for drinks and gave the order as we sat. We were then asked 4 times in the space of approximately 10 mins if we were ready to order (we hadn't even received a drink at this point and were still looking at the extensive menu). Food arrived promptly and was OK (nothing spectacular - can safely say I've had better quality from local takeaways). Before we had finished our 1st course, several staff were watching our table and were extremely quick to remove plates, etc, before issuing the next course (the general theme of the evening). As we were finishing our last course we were asked twice if we were done, when we did say we had finished, 3 staff decended on our table and took plates and cutlery, checked our drinks (physically picked them up to look what we had left) and whipped the table cloth away, before being asked twice more if we wanted desert. To top it all off, we were told that if we wanted to keep the disposable plastic chopsticks that came with our meal, these would be at an additional cost. Not the service or quality I'd expect for £50+ per person for 2 courses and would not recommend or return.

I've been eating at Mr Man's for over thirty five years. Not been for a while, was saddened to see it in decline, it was a great fine dining experience but now no better than my local takeaway so sad.

We came to this restaurant as a family of 10, a mix of adults and young people, for my wife's birthday celebration. The staff were very attentive, friendly and served us well. The food was plentiful, cooked well and delicious. As it was a busy Saturday night we had been previously advised that our table would be required after 2 hours. So that came as no surprise. The cost was reasonable in my opinion for the surroundings, food choice and quality. Yes, the table covering was paper, the wipes were packeted and cold but I don't see those as negative issues. A very enjoyable experience and wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

Incredibly sad to see our favourite restaurant decline in such a way. Been coming here for nearly 30 years. The reason being, it stood out. But whilst the prices have increased the lovely white table cloths have been replaced with paper. The dish warmers no longer in use. The spoons for the rice no more. The hot towels after starter replaced with nasty hand wipes. The lazy Susan only on certain tables. The portion size’s massively reduced. The decor… the same as 30 years ago.. untouched. Whether it’s complacency, because it it still busy, or a genuine need to cut corners, I don’t know, but sad is all I can say. Not entirely sure we will venture into the 4th decade there.

Very busy early. Clearly a popular Nottingham eaterie with a lively atmosphere. Service was good from the outset and staff were friendly and attentive. Booking slots are for two hours which for us was just about right for us to enjoy our meal at our pace. The food was delicious but no better than anything else that l have had elsewhere. Our highlights were the aromatic hdlf duck, the sweet and sour pork ( hong kong/ cantonese) style and the king prawns with cashews. The egg fried rice and special fried rice wasn't the best I have had..a bit bland . Prawn crackers weren't supplied as a free entrée as I would've expected(*) but the mixed houvres d'ouvres were very nice but the quantity of the serving could've been better. The main downside to think establishment is it's pricing. It's really, really expensive. Three adults way in excess of £120!! This restaurant is charging more than Chinatown (Soho) prices where the food is generally of better quality and more authentic. To summarise... A nice place to eat but you'll have to be prepared to spend a lot of money for the experience so because of this we can't afford to give it better than 7/10. Sorry 😞

Very dissatisfied, staff hardly spoke,no check backs,not a friendly place & Very tasteless food.wont be returning

What has happened to your restaurant Mr Man?? Not as good as it was. Service was rushed, confusing and rude. Not in attitude but with reaching over people to serve and then clear, and despite being empty seats where they could clear away from, they chose to clear away all the dirty plates next to me, while I was trying to open cards and gifts. Proceeding to stack dirty plates and drop dirty cutlery on gifts and cards. Were in such a hurry to dispose of the table cloth, we had to be quick to collect any belongings. Left bewildered about what was happening! Now on the hunt to find a new favourite restaurant to celebrate special occasions at.

Brillant place to go for Sunday all you can eat buffet, highly recommend you give them a try

Expensive food. They are in desperate need of a renovation to match their prices.

Definitely the best crispy duck of all time !

Everything was lovely from the food to the service

Just basic , MaySum in Nottingham gives a better value for money.

Great food at a good price, great venue with friendly service

Food was great. Did the Sunday buffet, veggie options were a little limited but what was there was delicious (I had three plates of curried veggies and Singapore noodles). The service was great and the plates were exchanged very quickly, just a little noisy and chaotic on big round tables but that's the nature of big group activities I suppose. Also very accommodating to children

Pure perfection, efficient friendly service. Shame they don't do Blue Light Card discount

Plastic covers on tables, laminated menus.. I thought it would be a little.more upmarket than this but overall.a good evening with friends, service was good and so was the food

Best Chinese in Nottingham by far

Meals were delicious. Family friendly restaurant

I went to Mr. MANS to celebrate my birthday. The serene atmosphere of the surroundings, with the tranquil sound of the small waterfall and birds singing in the front garden, brought a sense of peace. The presence of two stone Chinese lion statues added to the welcoming ambiance. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by the owner. The menu was simple and easily readable, with prices listed next to the dishes. Our ordered dishes were promptly served. For appetizers, we enjoyed mussels and wonton soup. The mussels were exceptionally large and fresh, while the wonton soup was flavorful, containing about 4-5 wontons. Additionally, we ordered the hot and spicy chicken, Teochew rice, and Szechuan hot fish. The Szechuan hot fish is my favorite, but it's important to note that the dish can be quite spicy due to the chilies. It might be challenging for those with a lower tolerance for spice. Overall, I look forward to returning again.

We stumbled upon this place after having a spa day in Nottingham! From start to finish, the customer service was amazing! It’s a proper authentic Chinese restaurant with the most amazing food and dishes. The crispy duck, chilli crispy beef and chicken fried rice was my fave. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

Super location at the periphery of Wollaton Park. Have to book in advance, very popular for good reason. Excellent food, atmosphere and service.

Went for a 40th birthday get together, very prompt service if not a bit too much hovering about to take your plates after putting utensils down we paid £32.00 per person for a minimum 2 people three course meal, and £4.50 for a tiny bottle of chinese beer,I must say the food was minimal for the amount paid less than a takeaway up the road and the large diner was minimal decorated not as posh as one would expect for the amount paid, Toilets needed to be checked more regular they where a mess waters were nice and pleasant except the woman that served the beer really grumpy could do with smiling Oh and when we pay so much we do not expect to pay for two extra super thin pancakes at 50p each ridiculas

The food was okay however for the buffet they charge £6.50 for 'under 2s' so I had to pay £6.50 for my 1 year old daughter who ate probably 1 fork full of noodles and 1 grape and a tiny bit of apple. They didn't show us a menu of prices before.

Went to mr mans for lunch on the 17th oct 2023 i made my order once my order came all the food was cold uncooked prawns and overnight tasing squids rice was cold as it was put in a microwave also the chow main all the dishes i ordered was not freshly cooked. 4 hours later my child has diarrhoea from eating the uncooked prawns and ive been vomiting twice. It was my frist time going for lunch and im very disappointed and would never recommend anyone going for luch there. The food and service was lazily prepared i made sure to complain in the restaurant while leaving the table full of all the untouched food! Very shocking and disgusting for a well established restaurant. Dont open for luch if u not going to prepare it freshly because your food it very expensive

The staff were nice and service was good but the food was poor. Mixed starter was a small portion. The mains were not good at all. Bland noodles (charged £7.50 for noodles), over cooked rice, powdery curry, poor meat and no love at all in this food. Probably the worst lunch I’ve had for £85 in my life. No idea how people have scored more than 3 ever. Poor

Atmosphere was good but was somewhat put off by finding a long hair in my spare ribs. Mentioned to staff and they didn’t seem concerned. Had been really looking forward to this meal as hadn’t been to this restaurant for some time. Won’t be going again any time soon.

Had a lovely evening with family ,Mei and the team all did fantastic job looking after us all. The food was as Always delicious and the service second to none

Went here on a Saturday afternoon with my children. Service and food was excellent. Well worth the cost. Would definitely recommend

Great food with friendly and efficient service. The set menu is good value and plenty of food. We will definitely be returning again!

Love food, good service, portion sizes just right

Food was too salty for me. Service was functional but no warmth. Background music. Big airy building with some nice big round tables. A bit pricey for what we got. Disappointed.

We went with a group. Good food, generous portions, good service. As others have said they do remove the table cloth after your main course but this is just to give you a fresh table for desserts, they made no attempt to hurry us out.

Been here before and was soo impressed we have decided to go back for our anniversary meal this time

Overpriced, rushed service, hoovering to clear table, took tablecloth off, we had to lift drink glasses for them to do this!! Not asked about a sweet or coffee, so disappointed 😞 will not go back or recommend.
