Ocean Cook in Salford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

One of my favorite restaurant in Manchester which serves authentic HK cha chang teng style dishes. Absolutely love it.

Food is too salty and service attitude is bad

Great value of food. Better to reserve the table.

Nice food but remember cash payment only

Good quality and quantity of Hong Kong foods. Seafoods can be booked in advance. Many parking places nearby. Highly recommended.

Nice Chinese food. It’s closed now not sure when they are gonna open.

After the long relocation process my favourite Chinese restaurant in Manchester finally opened on 1/July. It’s located at Unit 10, 92 Phoebe St, Manchester M5 3PH, United Kingdom.

好可惜，聽職員話租約至今年2023年5月尾，此地方被發展商買了。現在找尋其他地方在開業。

The best Chinese in the whole of Manchester, me and my mrs go to place when we’re feeling abit cheeky and want a Chinese. The lady is also so lovely and always takes care of our food to such a high standard. 10/10 highly recommend!

Recommend to all HKers - if you wish the taste in home town. Their fried noodles are great stuff!

Ordered King Prawn Chow Mein and it was very fresh and very tasty, a great portion size & enough for 2 people, I would definitely order here again, Delivery driver was very polite.

Have always been ordering food from here! One of the best Chinese in City centre and the staff is always nice and helpful 😊

Delicious Cantonese foods with nice tea, dishes are big. Parking is not close but reasonable in a parking lot nearby.

Big portions Decent food Good price

Ordered from here several times now, really is a spot on Chinese take away. Very good value and also tastes great. The delivery drivers are always very pleasant and never had anything missing from orders. However it is not the most authentic Chinese you will eat.

Nicest salt and pepper squid i have ever had from a chinese takeaway, soup was hot and delicious, hk sweet and sour was devine really friendly delivery driver and fast service. Thank you

Over 2 hours wait for delivery as they use there own drivers, and no apology after it turned up at quarter to one in the morning..would not recommend

High quality canton style food with decent price.

I never dine in here, always take away but if you want Chinese foid, you need to try Ocean Cook. The staff are so nice and the fiid is just delicious, I don't eat take out from any other Chinese in Manchester or Salford

Awful food rude staff and late delivery. Food came 2.5 hours late, called twice and got told it was close when it wasn't. It arrived and the duck was nice, but the rest of the food was almost inedible. Spring rolls made me gag, chow mein was horrible and cold (only an 8min drive away so expected it to be warm). Food was tasteless and chewy. Staff were very rude when we called and asked for an update. Don't go here. I'd excuse service and delivery if the food was good but it was awful

Bleeeeee !!!! All food go to the rubbish...smeel very not good. Not recommended

Just had 1st take away from this place on uber eats. 100%. Delivered 30 minutes before they said and the food was fantastic. Starter was lovely and Plenty of meat and prawns in the 4 seasons dish and was perfectly cooked. Definitely recommend and i will be using this take away again. Polite and friendly driver to go with it.

Very good food and very respectful staff with patience, would definitely recommend.

Ordered my food this evening from Ocean cook and because I challenged owner last time regarding false advertising. I was actually trying to help them from a trading standards point of view. She cancelled my order and didn't call me after waiting a hour I called and she didn't want to hear me explain that if she cancelled she should of called. It's now almost 10pm and I order around 8pm. I've been a loyal customer for over 2 years when they where MR Cook paying and promoting the business. I'm sitting here so disappointed and with no apology from owners It's left me no choice but to give this negative review. Customer service is everything especially in hospitality. Sorry is just for letters and she couldn't say it instead she put the phone down on me, saying she didn't want to argue. Good food but bad customer service ☹

Really great quality food, and generous portion sizes, highly recommended

Excellent food, large portions, very good value for money. Delivery driver was really pleasant, arrived before the ETA and the food was really hot when it came. Will definitely be ordering again soon

Been ordering regularly from this place - food is really nice. However the delivery driver is incredibly rude and it's very off putting me from ordering from there again!

Terrible service - food was 2 hours late, driver was rude and the food was poorly cooked.

It was awful. Not only did it take 2 hours to arrive, but when it did the food was terrible. The only food that was half decent was the duck and the delivery driver was rude.

Ordered through the Uber eats for the fist time and we were really disappointed. Wonton soup is nice. Spring rolls were awful, really chewy, only beans sprouts inside which is really hard to bite. Beef chowmein was disgusting, smells like the food is not fresh, the taste is also not delicious and very salty.

I live close by. I would say the food is ok. Big overpriced. Not authentic Chinese cuisine. If you need a better one, go Chinatown instead.

Feel bad giving such a disappointing review as I understand how detrimental that is for a small business. But my order was nearly 2 hours late and the staff on the phone kept trying to deny me a refund and asked me to keep waiting five minutes despite me waiting 35 minutes in between calls. Finally tracked down my order after calling numerous times. Wouldn’t recommend

20:30叫嘢食，22:15先送到,唔好自己煮？ Ordered at 20:30, delivered at 22:15 why don't cook by ourselves? ridiculous!!! And we paid delivery fee!!

The best Chinese take away in Manchester. Amazing flavour in every single dish and generous quantity. Definitely value for money.

The beef chow mein I ordered was mediocre and I would not order this dish again here but the service I received was very fast and polite.

Probably the best Chinese takeaway I've had in a loooong time. Everything was so yummy and fresh.

Came back here again last Sunday to get the weekly top up of salt and pepper chips and curry sauce. Once again, unreal. Salt and Pepper chips and curry sauce x4 this time. Fluffy potato-y goodness accompanied by liquid gold. The boys got salt and pepper chicken, egg fried rice and tofu in black bean sauce for myself. Unbelievably good, and 4 free 7up's as a gift from Mr Cook. Nice touch. Will be visiting again tonight, for the usual. Already excited for it. 5 stars as usual, hats off to you Mr Cook. Never change.

Where to start? What a place. Went here for lunch with the boys, from the moment laid eyes on the shopfront we were sold, beautiful signage. Stepped through the front door, met with a dim room. Salt & pepper chips x3 with curry sauce, cash only. Boom. You already know you’re in the money. Sat down after ordering and heard snoring, realised it was the man himself, Mr. Cook, having a nap. Respect to him. 5 minutes later we’ve got our food, incredible prices it must be said. Sat outside the shop in the lovely local scenery and devoured the chips. World class scran. Possibly life changing. The best salt & pepper chips in the world, I don’t do ifs buts or maybes, I do absolutes. World class. Overall, 5 stars out of 5, if I could give it 6 stars I would. But that would be silly because it’s out of 5. Mr. Cook’s, an unbelievable establishment.

Stayed in Bolton & ordered. Huge portions, Special in Oyster sauce & mushrooms gorgeous, Sweet & sour chicken lovely. Very hot food and easy delivery. Recommend

Been here twice now and the food is excellent 👌seriously freshly prepared & delicious! Working our way through the menu 😋

Amazing food would recommend to anyone

The seafood tom yum soup is NOT tom yum at all. it was literally a cheap tomato soup with 2 prawns and a mushroom in it. Not worth 5 quid. The egg fried rice was good tho.

Ordered from Uber eats and the food quality was very good and fresh ingredients. Good portion and reasonable price too. Definitely worth it will order again.

Best Chinese in Salford,end of story!

The best takeaway for a perfect food. Fresh well made and delicious.

The worst salt and pepper chicken wings I’ve had. Service and delivery not much better. I’m not one for rating but felt I had to in this case

Mr Cook Salford does very tasty food! They are a takeaway/delivery business. Ordering through Uber Eats, my food arrived well packaged & nicely hot. The Uber Eats driver delivered my order socially distanced due to Covid-19. There was a delivery fee of just £2:00 which I think is really good! The only downside was my order took around 1.5 hours to arrive. After a few phone calls back & forth between myself & the restaurant, whatever the problem wa, it got sorted very quickly with polite & friendly customer service. There is a wide range of cuisine to choose from with reasonable prices. Definitely worth placing an order with Mr Cook Salford. Opening times are included with the photo I have uploaded.

Called to ask where food was (after 90 mins) and they hung up on me. Took almost 2 hours to get here & when it did the driver blamed us for giving the wrong postcode (we didn’t as via Uber eats). Food was mediocre. Definitely won’t order again.

Excellent food at reasonable price and good portion size, if your looking for a slice of Hong Kong and don’t want to venture into Manchester Chinatown look no further. I highly recommend the beef flank curry so tender and flavoursome, normally only found in Chinese restaurant, which I was surprised they sold. Give them a try don’t be put off by the decor The food was 10/10

More expensive than your standard Chinese chippie but I think it's a cut above. We got good quality food an for once not too salty

Super disappointed with this. I ordered a take away and when it didn't arrive after 1 hour I rang the restaurant and the delivery driver and it was such poor service. It never arrived in the end. Not happy!

Best Chinese restaurant in Manchester

Ordered takeaway and was really impressed. Large portions, really good quality, the crispy dishes were still crispy and the flavour was great. We placed a huge order and they were still able to deliver it before the eta!

It was the best chineese food to order i ever had! We ordered between us like 5 dishes without knowing how big the portion size was (first time we ordered from them) and it was too much. But the taste, was wow! Every dish was cooked to perfection, even the salt&peper chicken was crunchy but soft on the inside! Which, beeing my fav dish, is hard to get it right, but you guys did it! And my bf agreed aswell that you are the best cookers and we will order again! Keep on the good work! PS. They gave us free ribs aswell, so thanks, we have food for the entire weekend now haha

Food is really good, but the drivers are very bad. Refusing to just deliver to doors and leave it there, even if you are self isolated due corona virus

Best Chinese I’ve had in Manchester, big portion sizes, really good quality meat, just brilliant!

Disgraceful. I made an order for delivery. The took my money and didnt deliver the order. Im disgusted and they stole money from me. I will make sure everyone knows not to trust this company.

The food is very hit and miss. Sometimes its very nice and others its cold and doesn't taste fresh, but overall its not a bad place to eat.

Didn't even deliver the food, then proceeded to not answer the phone

Absolutely beautiful Best beef curry I've ever tasted

Never had a problem with this place despite the reviews. Easy to access if you collect and the delivery times are more than reasonable for such a small business. Highly recommend

Probably the best sweet and sour chicken in Manchester, and I've tried loads! Had some king prawns in chilli and onions and choi sum in garlic. Everything tasted great and was piping hot eating in. The only difficulty in going to this place is parking. The rear is now under surveillance, so you have to park nearby in a dodgy looking street. I would definitely go again. Whilst we dined there, they had constant orders coming in for deliveries. So if you ever order one, try be patient! 😉

I ordered the spring rolls, crackers, bbq ribs and beef chow mein with osyter sauce. Not only were they 30 mins late with my order, the food arrived cold and tasted awful. The spring rolls and bbq ribs tasted undercooked and the chow mein was just flavourless and soggy. I chucked 90% of it in the bin and just cooked my own dinner. Never ordering from here again.

Me and my friends ordered chicken fried rice, chicken chow mein and tofu with chilli and garlic sauce. When the food arrived it was barely warm and the chicken fried rice had absolutely no flavour! The texture of the chicken chow mein was horrendous and the tofu with chilli and garlic sauce was much spicier then the description had said, so much that the spice overpowered the flavour. We did eat some of the food, however, it was the worst chinese food experiences we’ve ever had!

Wow got it delivered to Longsight. Very hot and outstanding quality. One of the best Chinese I have ever had. Amazing.

So after reading the good reviews, I decided to try out this place. I placed a chow mein order. However, I had to choose a sauce which I did. Then I called the restaurant saying I didn't want the sauce and she said if I don't want the sauce, I'll have the soft noodles instead of the crispy. Tell me why my order turns up and its crispy noodles. With no sauce. The food is salty and cold. Never ordering again🙄🙄

Guilty Pleasure... my favourite chinese simply for their ho fun! Had their ma po and the aubergine/pork - both are delicious. Service has always been good for me too.

Fantastic food and great service and delivery never had bad thing to say about this place

Doesn't look great from the outside, but this place makes dang tasty food at very reasonable prices. Can heartily recommend the scallop dishes and their udon noodles, you can't go wrong. The eat in bit only accepts cash at the moment and doesn't have an alcohol license, never ordered take away so couldn't comment, but if the foods up to the same standard you'll be laughing.

If I could give 0 stars, I would.

Terrible delivery service, I stood for 20 minutes outside waiting for the driver. The food came cold and the beef was raw. Do not recommend

Food delivered to the wrong address!! I’ve been waiting for my order more than 1 hour and never got delivered. I called back the restaurant and the lady passed me the driver on the phone saying that he delivered the food to the right address and to a young black man lol My friend John and i we are both white, and there’s no one else in the house. Well done! I’m very impressed of your customer service and professionalism. No refund no food replaced! Shame!!

This is the place if you into Chinese food.

Great salt and pepper chips. Top sweet and sour king prawn. Big up Mr Cook

Cash only and not close to any cash machine but nice meal

Great tasting food, shame we didn't get anything free with our order

Got a chicken curry and when it was delivered it looked OK but as I took a bite of the chicken it was half cooked what can I do as the food was only half cook

I go at least once a week food good and people are very nice I would recommend this place to anyone

Great tasting food, friendly staff, and portions are huge! Have been a loyal customer at Mr Cook over the past 4 years and will continue to do so in the future. Most of the people order via Just Eat, but we prefer to eat in sometimes, and we love it - it's cozy, quiet, and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Whoever reads these Google reviews, please don't pay attention to people who gave it 1* as I can see they only created their accounts to underrate businesses. Hence why they have just 1 contribution.

Refused to send food and Asked just eat to call to say payment hasn't been received in the past even though it's all paid online by card. Really bad service and the food is cold when it's delivered.

Won't swap items. Don't take cards

Great food reliably. Don't have the chicken unless it's on the bone. Choose another meat.

Honestly the food is amazing!! Came here out of randomly walking by and it’s amazing! The portion sizes didn’t look as big as usual, until you get it in front of you and start eating and there’s actually so much there! Staff are lovely! Would recommend here for a Chinese out of anywhere in Salford anyday!

Amazing food, lovely staff - for those who complain about the food and the fact that the orders aren't right - uhm, have you ever heard of "communication" and "feedback"? If something isn t right or up to your taste, tell the staff if you're unhappy and they will sort it out for you !! This business deserves 5* as it delivers excellent value for money and the flavours are authentic and delicious. Keep up the good work !!

Nice chines food .neat and clean with friendly staff. recommended for friends

Food is not fresh. Order was over an hour late.

Wouldn't bother, disappointed as the reviews said it was good. Didn't even finish the food. I can make better Chinese and I'm not even Chinese. Asked for special fried rice and they couldn't even get that right. Whoever gave these a good review did they pay you to do so?!

Always found the menu to be varied including more traditional Chinese cuisine always well cooked and tasty...

Poor food portions small ordered for 3 wouldn't even feed half a person never order again

Ordered delivery of various food, it arrived quickly at our hotel last night and it was the best Chinese food I’ve eaten for a long time. The spare ribs are superb as well as house special rice. The delivery driver was very polite.

We went last night, 8pm Friday 13/10/17. I only put the day and date in order to show current and peak time, not because it was bad luck! I’ve passed this place loads of times and always said we should try it. Eventually we got around to it. The place itself is very reminiscent of Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong, a bit dingy and very “what do you want” service, but decent food and no-frills. When we visited, they were getting orders from Just Eat at a rate of probably 1-2 a minute, so it was fairly busy. We sat down, looked at the menu and picked some items. My wife ordered them and we paid. They didn’t have a couple of the things requested, but otherwise we got what we asked for. Food took a while to arrive, but it was hot, reasonably tasty and as ordered. The lady serving food looked bewildered most of the time, so basically they were running beyond full tilt - more staff needed for peak times. They only take cash, so be prepared to have a little walk to the bank machine if you don’t have enough money. Basic restaurant (no frills at all), decent food, but obviously adjust your expectations about service if you’re going at a busy time.

Excellent Chinese with sit in or takeaway option. Prices very reasonable for portion side. Only downside is cash only but you can order from web in-store to pay by card.

Food excellent fresh hot pently lovely people excellent chef xxx

Amazing Chinese Food, better than some restaurants. Not a great location or place to visit, gem of a place though

Ordered through justeat - said it was gona be an hour was 2 . If I hadnt paid by card I would have not even picked up the phone when they arrived

Great tasting food.... very reasonably priced.... good portion sizes... friendly staff.... we visit regularly & will continue to do so.

The food here is excellent!! As good as, if not better than restraunt quality. the portions are ample and very food value. I do recommend to eat in rather than take away. It's the same price regardless. I have been eating here for years.
