Oodles 'N' Oodles in Manchester

Lovely service, friendly staff and amazing food

Very cold- no central heating. Avoid

This was advertised as a boujee dress up restaurant, so we arrived dressed according but were greeted with hostility and dirty looks which made us feel very uncomfortable. We ended up just leaving.

Spent my birthday there and place was absolutely freezing - they claimed their heatings broken and in winter aswell! Food was very spicy even things that said mild- had to send food back. However mocktails and decor was very good.

Terrible service! Despite the restaurant being almost empty with no customers dining in, they still take an unreasonably long time to prepare orders. As a delivery driver, I’ve experienced constant delays every time I arrive to pick up an order, they tell me it’s not ready. As a result, the food takes too long to reach the customer, which leads to frustration and complaints. This shows poor management and a complete lack of efficiency. If they can’t handle orders when it’s not busy, I can’t imagine how bad it gets during peak hours. Avoid this place if you expect timely service.

Visited the restaurant around 5 PM today, and it felt like stepping into an ice rink—it was absolutely freezing! The cold completely ruined the meal. I was told the heaters weren’t working, and apparently, they weren’t working last week either when a friend visited. At this point, the restaurant should really consider closing until the issue is fixed. I can’t imagine how cold the poor waiters must be. Oddly enough, the heater at the entrance was working fine, but the AC inside was blowing out cold air. Very strange.

Unfortunately, we had a very bad experience here. Our prawn crackers and vegetable spring rolls arrived promptly, but the rolls tasted as if they’d been taken out of the freezer and chucked in a fryer. Bland and tasteless. We waited for our mains for about 50 minutes - there was barely anyone else in the restaurant! The food was NOT good - even the noodles were bad. For a place called Oodles Noodles, that’s quite shocking. The mango mojito was nice, and our server was pleasant. I can’t quite believe how bad the food was - I don’t think I’ve ever had an experience like this at an establishment. We ate a few bites of each dish and couldn’t stomach the bland, greasy food. We both agreed it was terrible, and left having only eaten 1/10 of our food.

Lovely fresh food for a great price

I ordered a chicken steak, which was advertised to come with vegetables, but I was disappointed to find that the vegetables were cold and served in an extremely small portion. Additionally, the creamy mash was also cold and lacked the promised creaminess, leaving it quite dry. We also tried the Dry beef chilli beef which had a pleasant taste, but it was not crispy as described. Instead, it was ssoggy. The chicken wings, topped with honey & sesame seeds, were quite plain, and the tempura prawns were battered like those you'd find in a fish and chip shop—I've had better from Tesco or Asda. On a positive note, the staff was very attentive and quick, which contributed to a better dining experience. Surprisingly, the restaurant was nearly empty, despite it being a Friday evening.

My friends and I went here on Saturday 1st February we were seated immediately. But about5 minutes after being seated we had to put our coats back on, there was no heating and the restaurant was absolutely freezing like sitting in a walk in fridge we could almost see our breaths. Our food came out first starters the chicken spring rolls were pink from inside, undercooked, the chips were undercooked and cold. For mains i order szechwan chicken with rice, the rice was not fresh it tasted microwaved and at least 2 or 3 days old very funny smell, the chicken was drenched in soya sauce after a few mouth fulls i began to feel ill because it was super salty and the rice began to give me belly ache. The waitress was very understanding she called the manager over immediately and he offered us a refund on the main dish. When i reached home i began to feel very nausea, clamy and sharp pain in my belly. For the whole night i was back and forth to the bathroom with bad food poisoning under cooked chicken, chips, stale rice and super salty chicken. The only good thing was that our waitress understood how cold the restaurant was and how bad our food was. I really wouldn't recommend this restaurant unfortunately, i had heard very recommendations for oodles noodles but unfortunately that evening it did not deliver. From reading the reviews it appears the heating has been broken over a month now. Considering the cold winter we have had this year the restaurant needs to bring in temporary measures such as portable heaters till the heating gets fixed. The standard of the restaurant is indicating a decline of its food and hospitality heading towards closure. I hope the owner can save and take correct measures for this restaurant.

We went on a Saturday evening at around 8pm - we waited in the waiting area which was empty for around 10 mins before being acknowledged - all while staff were shouting and sorting orders and laughing and joking with each other and the kitchen staff We finally got seated and given a menu. Ordered the dynamite chicken and lamb chops for starters. Mains were vegetable chow mein noodles which we were told had a medium spice and a sirloin steak (the waitress wasn’t very helpful when asking questions about the sides or the sauces to go with the steak) and we ordered a virgin like mojito and a bottle of water which cost £4+ The dynamite chicken arrived, 15 mins later I asked a staff member where the lamb chops were? a staff member came over and said “have you had your lamb chops?” We replied no we are still waiting for them , he went to check and came back and said 8-10mins , I asked if they had forgot and he said yes they did. I said that’s fine and to bring them. Another 15 mins later I had to ask a waitress again to check where the starter was, she never came back to update me. Someone eventually brought the lamb chops. They were seasoned well but a tad undercooked, a lot of tough undercooked meat close to the bone. While we were still just starting to eat the lamb chops they had brought out the mains. I told them I wasn’t ready for mains as the starter had only just come out. They said they would bring it back in 10 mins Around 15 mins later I had to prompt a staff member to bring the mains. The vegetable chow mein was tasteless, dry and no spice - we didn’t eat much of it. The sirloin steak had a very thick strip of fat attached - bigger than the edible meat on it. It was however seasoned well and I asked for medium rare, which it was cooked well. The chips as a side were as though they had refried them to warm them - very over cooked and crispy. Staff were very unprofessional , shouting and talking to each other in another language. Asked multiple times to see where our food was and never came back to update us but we caught some staff members talking about customers in Urdu right behind our table and they caught me listening and looking at them a few times and they would laugh and walk away. The manager was seen by our table apologising to some other customers as they were leaving as they also had trouble with their food. We paid nearly £70 for the 2 starter, 2 mains, mojito and water. Very overpriced, satisfactory food, and very unprofessional staff

The restaurant atmosphere is very amazing and the food is delicious and all Halal.

El servicio al cliente era deslucido y se sentía como si nos estuvieran vigilando, el menú no era claro y no había agua del grifo, no se sentía bienvenido

Gorgeous place, the decor and atmosphere is beautiful. Momena was such a brilliant host! Smiling and caring 💕 I loved my steak, absolutely loved the Strawberry Mojito ✨ Everything is Halal 😍 Hubby loved his food, though I didn’t 😆 Not a big fan of spicy food but my steak was brilliant so we didn’t share. 😎 The place was a bit cold tho 🥶 but staff were very helpful and moved us to a warmer table ✨

It was really shameful that we came to eat here and being soo damn cold their heaters were off Atleast should have arranged for a mini heater

Good location, very spacious interior and decor. Service is decent, lacks the charm and seems out of sync with the branding and decor as I would have expected a certain nuance of service. The food itself is pretty good, worth visiting, and personally my favourite is the chicken sizzler. We have had their noodles and felt it was pretty creative with flavouring (soy with tamarind) but perhaps maybe it's missing that speciality one would expect from a restaurant called oodles noodles. Overall it's worth a visit, go with a relaxed expectation of everything.

Starters were nice. Noodles were ok. Don't serve tap water, which is odd and possibly illegal. I would visit again. Probably wouldn't order noodles. Really nice interior. Staff were pleasant.

Absolutely shocking how bad this place is. The staff are rude, the food is disgusting. I genuinely feel bad for the animals that had to die and end up being served at the restaurant, what a waste of life. The place should be shut down but they keep getting people to go because it looks nice. IT IS NOT NICE, save your money and sanity and go elsewhere!

Vino con la familia y tuvo una comida encantadora. Algo para todos y algunos de nosotros incluso estaban atrapados para elegir. El personal era muy amable y servicial. Revisaron varias veces que estábamos bien, pero no nos abrumaron. Toda la comida estaba todo cocinado fresco y era muy sabroso. Sin duda recomendaría si quieres algo sabroso.

Impeccable service and a cozy atmosphere. Felt like home away from home.

This place is great for having lunch with friends and the food here is 10/10 delicious. The customer service here is amazing. Would really recommend.

Terrible food They don’t know anything about Chinese or Cantonese food, Hit and sour soup was neither hot nor sour, no peanuts in Kung pao chicken and later I was informed they are nut free but don’t add such items in your menu then

Arti and Farah were wonderful , amazing customer service and food

Great place , with a nice atmosphere to be. We were looking forward to eat some prawns, unfortunately, none of the prawns on the menu were available. They don't have prawns at all, on that day. That was quite disappointing! So, l went for Lamb chops instead, they were so delicious. Some of the staff seem nice, but we find difficult to communicate with the waiters. One of them, l don't know if she's new there, but kept calling her colleague to come when we asked questions or wanted something. A bit of effort on the staff would be great.

I had an absolutely awful experience at Oodles and Noodles in Manchester, and I strongly recommend avoiding this place. My friends and I went there expecting a good meal, but what we got was shockingly bad service and complete disrespect for customers. There was 4 of us in total, one of my friends ordered beef noodles, only to sit there for over 1 hour waiting, while the rest of us were served. Eventually, the staff casually informed us they had run out of beef noodles—after all that time! They didn’t bother offering an alternative or even apologizing properly. The result? My friend didn’t get to eat at all while the rest of us awkwardly ate our meals. It was embarrassing, upsetting, and completely avoidable if the staff had been even remotely competent. This restaurant clearly doesn’t value its customers. Save yourself the frustration and take your money somewhere else where you’ll actually be treated with respect.

The portion size is getting smaller and smaller every time

Good service,good food and good atmosphere 10/10

Your staff is not your property you should pay them on time right amount

Asfan and Harathi were really kind and welcoming. They’ve served us with great smiles.

Great atmosphere and Great food = A great Evening. The food was delicious however, I had to deduct a star on food as I have got food poisoning 😞

Venue looked really nice from the outside but was very disappointed when inside. Chilli paneer was good. Other starters were forgotten. The mains were not nice. Asked for tap water to wash down the taste but they refused and said they only sell bottle water. Only positive is the waiters were friendly.

The food tasted good the staff need more training

The food was great, absolutely delicious and momina was serving us and she was awesome in her job.

Overall experience was quite good 👍 gives u an aesthetic vibe n excellent service by momina.

Always enjoy the atmosphere and quality of food.

Momna was excellent in providing good quality customer service

Really lovely staff and food was amazing 10/10

The only thing good about is the way it looks. Ordered a few starters, lamb chops came very fast. However once we bit into to them they were all raw and pink inside… we told a member of staff she said she was gonna get her manager. We waited a good 15 minutes for a manager to come, the manager didn’t have a clue on what to say. He just said he’d bring out another portion. Then our prawn crackers came out. Tell me why the lamb chops came quicker than the prawn crackers. Our mains shortly came after.. along with the rest of the starters. However we are now waiting for our lamb chops, and we had our mains in front of us. Poor management, they had no resolution for us. We explained to the staff we just wanted to leave and would have paid for the things we did eat. Because there was no way I was eating anything else from there.

Quantities of food are very small. Food is not mixed properly. Charged us for plain water. All spice levels taste the same (mild and very spicy have no difference). Wouldn't recommend again. Stay away from here the staff give dirty looks as well

Absolutely ruined my grandma's birthday. I regret paying for this absolutely atrocious food. Quantities were child size and the staff give you dirty looks

Not serving tap water is tight as.

The chef at this restaurant should train the chef at Birmingham Oodles Noodles. The noodles were soooooooo good! However, the popcorn chicken starter is better at Birmingham as they give a little salad with it and better sauces. But the noodles here are perfect.

Quite nice atmosphere and interior but it seems thats all youre paying for, for the price the portions are really small and didnt taste amazing, sandwich was 4 small bites with some chips, unfortunately I wouldn't go here again unless they Improve menu or change price of items, waiters were nice though, overall pretty mid at best

Went in today just after 3pm, service is lovely by the sister but ive marked it down all on one star because we had to walk out without eating. No beef available, no chops available, this reduces the menu down to prawn, chicken or vegetable. All three are of which my families least favourite choices, we where hoping to get a variety of dishes and not just end up with the same to share. Also no Milkshake available, little small advice, if an item which makes up most of the menu is not available then customer should be told before being seated. Really really disappointed as we were looking forward to this, especially when one travels far to eat out in a halal establishment.

I have been to this establishment around 4-5 times in the last 2+ years. I'm afraid to say that the service has gradually declined to the point that we will now be looking at alternative fusion restaurants. There are are multiple issues; NOT CHILD friendly - We explained to the waiter, that our 3 children do not like rice and prefer noodles. We ordered sweet and sour chicken and asked them to swap the rice with plain noodles for our kids. It took 15 minutes of deliberation and a meeting with the manager for him to ok the swapping of the rice for plain noodles. Despite this, they tried to charge me extra for the plain noodles at the end with my bill POOR service - simple requests like an extra glass or a spoon to use were being ignored. We had to ask 3 times for extra glasses and a spoon to take out the food for my kids POOR TIME management - we informed the waiter that the sweet and sour noodles were for my kids and we would prefer if that came first so we can start feeding them. This request fell on deaf ears and we got the kid's food last by which point they were fed up, tired and wanted to go home All in all, I left the restaurant feeling very deflated and a tad upset (we travel 50 minutes to get to Rusholme). We are not sure if we'll make this trip again

With noodles and noodles, I had a wonderful dining experience. The food was excellent, and the service was outstanding.

shree is so goated and amazing give her promotion

amazing service from shree! she goes above and beyond to accommodate, explain, and be very friendly and polite. i would come again just because of her impact on my first experience here! thank you so much shree ♡

Everything was good its always my fav place never disappointed with the great customer service and food i was serviced by mariyam she was very welcoming and made sure i enjoyed my food and visit thanks to her 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I like oodles N’oodles very much. Especially the staffing, atmosphere and servicing that they provided. It was my first experience…iam so impressed. Specially staff vismaya … she was so nice and attended us so good

The foods here r amazing. As a Chinese myself, I can guarantee u this is traditional Chinese chao mian, authentic flavor

Best one we’ve been to. Food was very well presented and tasted really good. Service was good too.

Had a great experience at Oodles N’Oodles! The food was fresh and packed with flavor, with generous portions and a variety of options to choose from. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious noodles and a vibrant dining experience!

Too overpriced. Quantity was not to the price paid off. Taste was ok. Chciken lolly pops were smelly. For 4 people the bill was £75. Bottled drink was £3.50 each. Looks like they only ask the price of their ambience and being on curry miles. Will never go again and would not recommend at any cost.

Nice place and very attentive and welcoming staff. The food was very good but some bits are not quite authentic - eg gyosos a little too hard. All dishes were tasty though! Parking a complete nightmare but there are about 6 spaces just outside in Oxford Place where you can park for three hours for no charge. They are always full lol.

vine de newcastle para comer aquí antes del concierto de arijit singh y basta decir que no estábamos decepcionados, el servicio era amable, la comida vino rápido y era muy sabroso! todo el mundo estaba contento con sus comidas y nos fuimos llenos y satisfechos. la decoración es impresionante, toda la comida estaba bien cocinada; carne tierna, salsas eran todos moreish ! también conseguimos algunos cócteles y eran brillantes - me dieron un refrigerador de menta y mi amigo consiguió el mojito de fresa y estábamos tan impresionados con ahora agradable que eran !! sabía mucho mejor que otros cócteles que hemos tomado en el pasado! sin duda vale la pena el £ 6. todo tenía un precio razonable también, altamente calificado recomendar.

Come here all the time it’s my dad. Good food and waitstaff, particularly Maryam. I was shocked to find out the restaurant doesn’t provide free tap water. Upon finding out my dismay, maryam rectified the issue by giving me bottled water on the house. This was appreciated.

Best food and Maryam provide amazing service :) great time there

Great food and service. Really enjoyed with the family. Staff is great specially Mariyam!! Who served us

Service and food both were really amazing. I love the ambiance its 10/10

Servicio muy lento Tuve que repetir el pedido varias veces Número incorrecto de bebidas traídas a lo que pedimos Comida pedida chips de chile frío cuando llegó Fideos de manchuria muy secos Sabía mejor puré que esto. Los precios eran muy caros. Con todo decepcionante 😞

The food took over 40 minutes and it wasn’t in a busy time as there was only one other customer there. The spicy black bean rice chicken was salty which made the taste after a while bad. They also couldn’t provide us tap water which is a human right !! The staff were forcing us to give a 5 star review too and watching us !!!

Food is amazing and excellent service and managers are also very nice and helpful❤️❤️

A delicious experience, good food ,clean and had great service from all ,lovely table service and very attentive from a young lady called Mariam, definitely calling again 🌬🫧✨️💕🤍🪽

Experiencia decepcionante. La decoración era impresionante, sin embargo, el resplandor de las luces rápidamente provocó dolores de cabeza. La comida era promedio en el mejor de los casos y sobreprecio. Pedimos refrescos y nos negaron el agua de mesa cuando se solicitó. Se le pidió que hablara con el gerente para entender la razón de rechazar el agua de mesa y no se presentó en nuestra mesa para responder a nuestra pregunta. También noté que la camarera ‘limpia’ una mesa con una servilleta seca (sin anti bac utilizado por lo que la limpieza estaba en cuestión). No vale la pena una visita, definitivamente evitar.

Everything was great, fantastic and amazing stuff, foods was 100% 😋 I will definitely come back

The food was delicious, atmosphere was great. We were greeted by a very pleasant waitress named Razeeka with a lovely smile and recommendation. 5 stars!

The food was nice and the service was fast.

Food and service was amazing. Teena served us and provided an excellent service.

Amazing food!! Went to celebrate my 3yo son's birthday. The food, the ambience, the staff everything was perfect as always! Special thanks to the staff for the birthday song. My son loved it

We were served by mariam, everything was absolutely amazing! She kept coming back to our table to ask if we need anything, the food was amazing, the service was amazing and the atmosphere is amazing!🙏🏽

Kessica was so helpful with deciding the menu

Great experience! Food and service were on point. Special thanks to Mariam for taking care of us

The food and the atmosphere were amazing as usual! Never disappointed!

Great place, staff is super friendly and food is amazing. Comfortable seating too

Amazing place, amazing food, amazing service

Mariam was my server, she went above and beyond to make sure my evening meal was amazing. Super attentive super good attitude, fantastic server. Thankyou

Service was like nothing I’ve ever seen with my eyes. Mariam was the bestest in the westest. She deserves all the noodles oodles has.

1st visit and must say that it's impressive all round.

The place is very good, personal was very pleasant and kind. I ordered Malaysian Meegoreng (Egg Noodles). It was delicious but for me a little bit spicy. Besides the portions are quite large. I would visit this restaurant again.

The food was on point, love the dynamite shrimp! Pretty and clean restaurant. Momna gave excellent customer service, made sure our needs were accommodated to. She is a credit to the team!

thank you so much to mayam for very good service noodles very tasty nd spicy thanks

Great food. Never lets us down and great customer service!

Lovely stuff cheesy beesh burger was spot on and lovely medium sized bao buns

Food amazing & server Sree was accomodating & very professional

Would definitely recommend this place for the best noodles. Devanshi was really cordial and sweet. Absolutely fantastic service.

The food and atmosphere was really nice, definitely recommend

Excellent service! Excellent food! Really nice relaxing atmosphere! No loud music!! Loved it. Perfect anniversary date!! Thank you Oodles and Noodles.

Food is very good and delicious. And staff service is very nice and professional friendly.

Great service food was tasty. Very fast and good service. Would definitely be back to try out other items of the menu. Beef was 10/10

Some nice starters. Noodles decent but some not as flavorful. They don't provide tap water. And some service staff seemed to hover.

Oodles N Oodles: A Flavourful Fusion Experience Oodles N Oodles in Manchester delivered a delightful dining experience, offering a vibrant fusion of flavors from Southeast Asia. The starters, including the dynamite chicken and lamb shops, were a tantalizing introduction to the menu, bursting with bold spices and textures. The mains, such as the sambal fried rice and Malaysian meegorang rice, were equally impressive, providing a satisfying balance of heat and savory goodness. Even the kids' meals were thoughtfully prepared, ensuring that everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. While the atmosphere was lively, we appreciated the privacy of our booth, which allowed us to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. Unfortunately, the service did slow down slightly towards the end of the evening, particularly when it came to dessert. While the vanilla ice cream was sold out, the other desserts were still delicious and complemented the meal perfectly. Overall, Oodles N Oodles is a fantastic choice for those seeking a flavorful and enjoyable dining experience. The food is consistently excellent, and the atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming. While the service can be a bit slow during peak times, it's well worth the wait for the delicious food and friendly service.

Amazing service by staff. Small portions and cold food. I ordered chicken shashlik when I asked to warm it up. I was brought fresh plate within few minutes again it was cold and this time rice was raw. I was quite hungry so ate my cold chicken but didn’t eat raw rice. Although it was nice of staff not to charge me for raw rice.

Fuimos aquí a comer con la familia. Mi comida no había llegado incluso cuando todos los demás casi habían terminado. Pregunté y la camarera dijo que serían 2 minutos y fue a comprobar. Dijo que accidentalmente se había ido a la mesa equivocada y que pronto estaría aquí. Dije que quería cancelarlo ya que todos los demás casi habían terminado. ¡Dijo que no cancelara el pedido! Insistí en que ya no lo quería y cuando llegó la factura, me habían cobrado por ello. Tenía que señalar que no recibí esta orden. La comida era cara, especialmente pagando £ 6. 00 para un mojito de los cuales 2 / 3 rds era hielo! No recomendaría este lugar a familiares o amigos

The food was fine, service was also fine. I tried to order tap water with the meal, I was told that I had to order bottled water. Which is simply not true. Any restaurant establishment has to serve tapwater to the customer if they request it. I even told this to the waitresses who served me, and she was totally dumbfounded. Apart from that, everything else was about average. if you’re looking for a great night out with your family, there’s plenty of other restaurants on Winslow Road, which are far better.

Tina served us and she was so nice, would come again

Came here as a group of about 15 from work early on a Friday in August. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and rethe staff are very polite. There is a large selection of choices on the menu. It is worth noting that this place does not have a licence but does quite a range of cocktails. We sat for a while and the staff took prompting to take a drinks order, which was a little odd. They then started taking food order shortly afterwards. The starters started coming out quite soon and, oddly, before the drinks which were pretty slow. I guess this is what happens when you offer a lot of drinks that will take a while to make. I had chicken bao buns, beef wok chow mein and the chocolate spoon cake for pudding. Also had a strawberry mojito. Food was good - hot and tasty. The cake was a bit too rich for me. Asked for a glass of tap water to go with it to be told don't serve that... Apparently not a legal requirement in unlicensed places but irritating when you just want a bit of something to drink and are forced to buy overpriced bottle of mineral water. Not bad but probably wouldn't go back.

Atmosphere Was Good But Food Was Below Average And Was Not Good The Spicy Chicken Noodles Did Not Taste Good

Food is of good quality. Superb hospitality. Prices are a bit high if compared to the food quantity.

Excellent ambience and comforting. Pretty, modern and relaxing and comfortable especially for families. The steaks, soups and noodles we had were delicious. Tastefully presented with great service. The menu has great variety and all the dishes we had were fabulous. What more could one ask for. Oh, and the price comparatively was very reasonable too. Impeccable. Definitely need to return to taste it's many other delights, I'A. Parking is tricky anywhere along the curry mile so best to try and park in any of the car parks or look for off peak 2/3 hour free bays along nearby streets
