Sweet Mandarin in Manchester

**made after there response - why on earth would you advertise your closing times as two hours after you take your last seating - that's insane, and still be willing to cook for takeaway orders?** Gutted, haven't been to Manchester for a few years so really excited to come back to one of my previous favourites. Unfortunately closed to eat in (an hour before closing) really disappointed as the front half if the restaurant was full of dinners and they said they were excepting take away only....

Amazing gluten free menu! We had the set gluten free meal for 2 and added prawn crackers, there was so much food! I’ve not had Chinese food since pre diagnosis and this definitely exceeded expectations!

Amazing meal, the gluten free menu Is great! All cooked separately so no risk of cross contamination, we'll be back!

Absolutely wonderful. The best gluten free Chinese I have ever had….having chicken chow mein for the first time in years and it was superb. Thank you.

First time visit As a gluten and lactose intolerant person i would recommend this place 100% of the time Food was amazing service was great And atmosphere was calm and relaxing Great place to go

Amazing food and people, good value, do cash and card and it’s near the tram stop no complaints would 100% recommend one of the best gluten free places I’ve visited.

We were visiting Manchester for a show at the AO Arena. As a coeliac, eating out is not an easy task and can cause heightened anxiety and stress. Well what a delightful treat we had dining at the Sweet Mandarin restaurant. The food was amazing, service was so friendly and attentive and a fantastic atmosphere. My husband is not coeliac and loved the gf food (non- gf food is also available). Both of us were more disappointed we couldn't take home our leftovers because we weren't allowed to take food into the AO Arena 🙄, but maybe next time 😉.

Best sweet and sour chicken I've ever had 11/10. Somehow the chicken stays crispy despite being covered in sauce. Crispy Beef is 10/10.

Best sweet n sour chicken I've had Amazing crispy beef Salt n Pepper tofu was unreal The meal for 2 could easily be shared between 3 people for a good price.

Great place! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was cozy. We had spring rolls and chicken chow mein.

What a wonderful experience. Booked a birthday meal with family, service was immaculate and friendly, the food was delicious and the portions were very generous! We chose to eat here for the fact that being gluten free is taken very seriously - that and the rave reviews! Will definitely be back, the whole family had a wonderful time and my daughter was delighted she had so much choice. Thank you to all the staff who were just lovely 😊

Havent had good gluten free chinese for a long while now. And this fully satisfied my craving. Air conditioning made our hot day felt nice too.

Lovely restaurant with great staff and delicious food. My fiance and I booked here for our anniversary and we were greeted with a warm smile and a cosy table. I'm gluten free and luckily most of the menu is gluten free as well. We had a dinner for two and it was delicious, very generous portions so we couldn't eat all of it and took it home for the next day. I had mentioned on the booking form that it was an anniversary ans the staff hand wrote us a card and gave us a wrapped bar of chocolate. Really lovely experience. We will be making the drive back to try more of the menu

Nice food. A bit pricey but it is in the city centre. Good service. Not a great beer selection but wine yes.

The BEST gluten free chinese I have ever had and possibly the best meal I’ve eaten since being diagnosed celiac. Staff were so knowledgeable about allergens and the gluten free menu was so big! Incredibly impressed with how amazing the meals were.

This place is just a take away guys. I will definitely not recommend this to someone who want to spend time on some anniversary or date with your another part (really disappointed) The food was really salty and don’t taste like Chinese food ( everything taste same ) I don’t know who writes reviews for you but they don’t have a clue about the Chinese Cuisine The website looks really good and this review about gluten free push me to take my partner on us anniversary I even booked the table but you can just walk in to this place is like the bistro Service is very poor and food really bad everything over salted This is not romantic place like they said on the website !!!!! Save your money for something else

Truly just a terrible experience. My partner couldn’t finish their chow mein it was so salty. Servers are nice but slow and fail to mention that a side of sweet and sour sauce is £4! Seriously, £4 to have some sauce so I can tolerate the dry fried food I ordered. Portions are too big and would rather pay less for a sensible portion. Who wants a £15 box of chips(must of been 5 or 6 potatoes I swear) with a bit of chicken thrown on top. We stopped by because of the gluten free options, but take my celiac word for it. It’s not worth the chance!

The main selling point for me in trying this restaurant was it’s separate gluten free menu. There were certainly a lot of options. The food itself did not disappoint, however it was quite expensive as a takeaway for 2 people. That said, each dish was a huge portion so it may be worth ordering to share, or if the restaurant is reading this then perhaps offering smaller portions would be my suggestion.

What an amazing place. The staff are lovely and attentive and the food is to die for. I'm gluten intolerant and I couldn't have been more looked after. The portions are huge, and we were given containers to take our leftovers away with us - so you literally get everything you paid for. The gluten free menu is large and contains so many choices. Unlike some foods where you can taste the difference - you can't with this restaurant. 10/10 will definitely be coming back. Best birthday meal ever!!!

Absolutely amazing food, really really tasty and such good service :) very friendly warming staff :) absolutely recommended this place to everyone :) it’s in a great location too :)

Definitely one of the best restaurants I've visited. Food and service were excellent. Highly recommended

Excellent gluten free menu. First time ever since my wife was diagnosed with ceoliac disease that she's been able to go to a Chinese restaurant & choose from a good menu.

Sweet Mandarin. Came for hubbys birthday, i was so looking forward to eating a Chinese again after 10yrs being diagnosed coeliac and not being able to. This place its hided away in Manchester city centre. The one think ive miss so much is seaweed and chow mein.. Gluten free cocktail. Gluten free Special fried rice for hubby and son, pawn crackers for them as well. For me I chose gluten free seaweed, gluten Special chow mein. It was OK came out a bit quick though, so not sure about that. Yes I don't like waiting for ever for food. But I expect to wait more than 10mins in a restaurant. Again it's brilliant that it gluten free and everything cooked separate for us coeliacs. But I think for the price it could of been better and more flavor. I would of loved to say it was amazing food. But it was standard food. Would I go again? Think if the lower there price a bit then yes. So bigg thumps up for the coeliac safe food and staff Ok food in terms of flavour Big thumps down for price

Came here for our Daughters Birthday as she is celiac and they offer a good gluten free menu. To avoid any possible confusion or potential mix up with our meal choices, we all decided to just pick from the gluten free menu and it was great, very nice indeed! I’ve eaten some gluten free meals before and I could certainly taste the difference with some of them, but here, it tasted lovely and just like what we would taste if we ordered from the standard menu. We did order quite a lot of various dishes so we could sample a wide, varied selection and all the food came correct and in good time. There were no mistakes made when our server took our order and we did not have to wait long at all for our food to come. A side note relating to the staff here, there were two servers on duty when we came and both were super friendly, super attentive and a credit to the restaurant. It wasn’t exactly busy when we came, but they didn’t stop helping the clients that were in there eating. As stated, we ordered quite a few different dishes, so too many to list them all, but all I can say is everything from the noodles, salt and pepper chips to the chicken and duck dishes from the gluten free menu were very, very nice. It’s quite a small compact restaurant but is well presented, clean and tables are economically laid out. It’s also well located in Manchester, just a short walk to the Arndale Shopping Centre. Another big plus for me is they employ a paper towel dispenser in the toilets for drying your hands after washing, rather than the very unhygienic hot air blowers. Something small and insignificant to most people, but a big plus for me. If you’re a fan of this style of cuisine and are looking for a good gluten free place to eat, then you won’t go far wrong coming here.

Such a lovely experience visiting Sweet Mandarin. 2 adults & 2 children 1 x GF We all ate from the GF menu which had lots of tasty choices available, every dish was delicious. From the moment we entered the staff made us feel so welcome, very friendly & happy to chat. Helen was particularly lovely with our children who were lucky enough to have her cookbook gifted to them, so kind! They are already planning on what dishes to cook themselves. Although we live quite a distance away we are already looking forward to visiting again soon. If you haven't already visited we would highly reccomended.

As a newly diagnosed celiac, I thought the days of me being able to enjoy a Chinese were over. The food here is incredible and they couldn’t have been more accommodating for gluten free. An entire separate menu dedicated to it. I had the sweet and sour chicken and egg fried rice and it was AMAZING! The service too is phenomenal. When the waiter presented me with my dish, he said with pride ‘it’s all gluten free my friend.’ I’m still buzzing. What a place. Can’t thank them enough.

I was looking forward to finding a gluten-free Chinese restaurant with my partner and came across sweet mandarin. However, I can say my experience was memorable, only for reasons which are disappointing. We ordered some spring rolls that were okay. Unfortunately, I don’t know what happened to the main. The chicken was tasteless and had clearly been reheated, an overly boiled taste? The noodles on the chicken chow mein had a thick layer of slime; and the beef noodle was far too salty to finish. (Please see attached) Personally, I’m not someone who would raise complaints in person and would hate to cause a scene. Otherwise, I would have refused the bill. Please find this review as critical feedback to improve and not as a form of attack.

Came here for a family meal and we all had such a lovely time, and had some very very delicious food. As a gluten free girlie I struggle to find places for me and my picky-eater family members to enjoy. But this ticked everyone’s boxes! The food was flavoured to perfection, leaving a long-lasting flavour on your tongue to make you want to go back for more! I also got the Sheep zodiac cocktail and it was delicious. Me and my family would all recommend this place and would love to come back. The service was perfect, staff were all friendly, there was a tiny mishap with one of my orders but that was swiftly resolved with no trouble at all! We went on a sunday so it was fairly quiet but the atmosphere was still wonderful. Make sure you visit Sweet Mandarin for some gorgeous, gluten free Chinese food!

So lovely to find a genuine original Chinese restaurant - staff were so attentive and friendly and the food was so good. The portions were so big, I could only eat half of mine. Loved the idea of the cocktails named after the Chinese years too and well worth the money. It was our freinds anniversary that day and they have them a hand written card with a very special message on it and a gift of a picture frame to put a photo of that night in. Well done to the whole team at Sweet Mandarin 10/10 from us all.

Fabulous food, nicely decorated, calm atmosphere. Will return. Staff are nice although some of the servers seem quite young and clueless sometimes no offence of course just need more experience and training… other than that it’s great!

Absolutly beautiful restaurant, the staff were so welcoming and friendly, they even bought us a gift and wrote us a card when we said it was our engagement celebration, which was so beautiful and kind! The service was quick, the gluten free food was delicious, atmosphere great! Will certainly be back again soon! 10/10

Ruined a birthday celebration by careless omission of a very expensive order. They had one job.

Great Chinese thats a god send if you're gluten free! Really friendly people that run the place

First time here and really enjoyed the food Small menu but that really works as less choice means you pick better I think Nice staff not to pushy Very busy but that’s always a good sign I’ve been lucky to eat Chinese food in some great restaurants including opium den in Oxford and Hakkasan in Mayfair and quality of food here is comparable to them

A huge plus for being coeliac friendly and having great staff, but the food really is terrible. Bland fried rice, lukewarm shredded duck and £8 for a bowl of cold crispy kale covered in sugar and salt doesn't feel like a good experience.

Arrived at 20:00 on a Friday to be told ‘Take-Away’ only! Been many times before with no issue, but will avoid in future. Went to Hard Rock Cafe (Gluten Free) who were more than welcoming.

Very friendly service and very clean bathrooms. The interior and the music are not Chinese in any way (pop songs covered by a saxophone player). The dishes are full of sauces that are over-thickened and over-sweetened, whilst vegetables are merely a decoration. The dishes tasted exactly the same as at the cheap take-away places I used to dine at as a college student in the States. This is a pity, because this very restaurant is mentioned in the film footage on display at the Lee Kai Hung Chinese Culture Gallery (at the Manchester Museum), as a restaurant where dishes are made in accordance with cherished family recipes handed down from generation to generation...

I honestly love everything about this place. The food is always to a high standard. A fantastic meal yet again. Portions were huge and we had to take some away with us. The gluten free options are vast and the service is excellent. I had informed them when I booked that it was a special occasion and they made the visit extra special which shows a huge personal touch. We will absolutely be back next time we are back in Manchester! Thanks again.

We decided to go to Sweet Mandarin for mine and my friends birthday because of their extensive gluten free menu. I am coeliac and often feel very anxious eating out, but the staff were so reassuring, kind and accommodating. The food was also absolutely delicious and the portions were huge. They also gave me and my friend a birthday card and a box of chocolates which was just so lovely. The next time I'm in Manchester i'll be heading straight to Sweet Mandarin :)

Nothing special. Based on their website and their award from Gordon Ramsay I was expecting something fabulous but it was very average. Garnish on the starter was hard white cabbage and my chicken satay tasted not like a curry. Barely and peanut flavour and not rocky and satisfying. The place needs a refit as the decor was basic and it was cold. The tables felt cheap and the laminate was peeling off the menus. Staff were not unpleasant but looked like they didn't want to be there and the whole experience was lacklustre but not bad. I won't rush back. A few tweaks to the food, some training for their staff and a bit of work on the ambience and this place could be really nice with it's history but it was disappointing.

Highly recommend. Great food and gave us a special gift for my wife’s 30th birthday. Staff went out their way to accommodate our young children too.

Went to this restaurant after seeing it mentioned in a gluten free online group. The website is so reassuring listing the precautions they have made to limit cross contamination. The food was lovely. My friend was able to eat gluten but everything we ate was gluten free and delicious. Decent sized portions too. It isn't the most flash of restaurants but if you want nice gluten free Chinese food I would definitely recommend. Ps wasn't cold, didnt need to wear my coat- this is mentioned in some reviews but not the case when I was there and stormy and cold outside.

Looking for seriously good Gluten Free Chinese food? This is the place. A huge selection of food carefully prepared and is delicious. Make sure you're hungry because there's so much choice, you'll want one of everything.

A Chinese restaurant with a full gluten free menu!!! What an incredible find for our short trip to Manchester. To have such a wide choice of gluten free options at a Chinese restaurant was just incredible and so we over ordered, wanting to try as much as possible. We were not disappointed when the food came, incredible crispy salt and pepper wings, sweet and sour chicken, crispy shredded beef and much more. Tasted exactly like gluten containing Chinese. Will definitely be visiting here again if back in Manchester.

I went to Sweet Mandarin for my birthday. There were 14 people in the party. The service, food, and atmosphere was spectacular. I booked in advance and mentioned it was my birthday. The staff presented me with a card and a gift - so much lovely words, and joined in singing happy birthday. Cannot wait to go back. The best gf menu in Manchester. Highly recommended.

Food here is amazing and can be made gluten-free if required. Had a fantastic meal, many thanks !

We came here today for our anniversary meal and it was so lovely and such a nice experience. The food was tasty and delicious, the staff was attentive and nice. Towards the end of our meal a waiter came over and asked if we were celebrating anything special and when we told them it was our anniversary they asked for our names and 3 minutes later they brought out lovely and kind card with a little gift. It was honestly so nice and made our day even more special. The place is decorated beautifully and we will definitely come again!

Was so excited to visit here having heard so much about how great it is. But unfortunately it didn’t live up to the hype I’ve seen..we pre booked for 5pm arrived at 4:50 and the place was closed ..so wandered around for 10 mins then went back..it wasn’t like we expected at all not very welcoming and the place was freezing cold ..people sat with coats on! It reminded me of a canteen rather than a restaurant Service was good but food was no better than I can get from my local takeaway. No warmers were used under the food like in other Chinese I’ve been to in the past so we didn’t finish our mains as they went cold before we could eat them. The gluten free options were good (I had no reaction) we had the set meal..could have done without the salt and pepper chips..they don’t really say Chinese restaurant to me. All in all..not somewhere we will be going again. Especially when there are so many other gf places nearby.

Cold restaurant, boiling food (maybe microwaved) expensive for what it is.

Ristorante che si trova in zona centrale della città, da me apprezzato perchè offre un intero menù senza glutine. Essendo la prima volta che provo un cinese, non ho metro di paragone, cmq., quanto da me assaggiato era buono e sfizioso e soprattutto mangiato senza pensieri. Prezzi onesti e servizio cortese.

Lovely food, great gluten free and vegan menu. I was very disappointed with the portion size, not sure how they can justify their prices for tiny bowls of rice and curry sauce! And couldn't believe the small measure of cocktails we got which were 9 quid each , ridiculous!

First Chinese meal in 11 years for my Coliac wife, we both loved it and are already planning our next visit. Food was delicious, service was warm, and we were totally reassured the food was gluten free. Thank you!

We had a party of 14 visit the restaurant and the hospitality was fantastic, from the swift responses when making the booking to the kind card and gift received as it was my sons birthday, made this a fantastic experience. The food was tasty and the portion size good. I would visit again when next in Manchester.

The starters were nice. The mains were meh. No garnish or distinguishable elements between our dishes. The owner told us they stopped using garnish 20 years ago! Well, this made The dishes look like a takeaway on a plate.

Just a bit bland mediocre and overpriced, wish we had gone somewhere else when there is so much choice in the area. Personal I wouldn’t go back here again I would try another restaurant in the area.

Excellent food and great service.

The best gluten free Chinese ever! Being diagnosed with Coeliac Disease over a year ago, I’ve missed Chinese. The food was unbelievable I couldn’t eat it quick enough. They had a whole dedicated gluten free menu with meat, veggie and vegan options. I didn’t feel like I missed out on anything. Couldn’t recommend enough

Lovely food, we had the sharing platter which was nice and big portions size. We couldn't book so turned up at 8 and was told we could come in but they close at 9pm which we agreed to but did feel a bit rushed and felt was unusual to close at that time. It was our anniversary and they gave us a card and some lovely chopsticks which was a nice touch.

Wonderful restaurant, run by talented chefs who are kind and lovely people. I loved the Sweet and Sour Tofu. Delicious. We went for a special occasion and they really went the extra mile. My partner was touched by the heart warming gesture. Thank you x

We had booked a meal here for my daughter's graduation. The food is delicious with a great choice on the gluten free menu, so nice to have so many options. The staff are so lovely, they even gave my daughter a card and present for her graduation. Will return whenever I'm in Manchester.

Came here as was staying at hotel around corner Food was tasty and the portions large had Starter and main with. Beer all for £25.50. Freshly cooked and too much for me to finish. Would visit again when in area

This is an absolute MUST if you’re a coeliac! There is a dedicated gluten free menu and the restaurant has a promise around cross contamination which was so reassuring. I haven’t been able to go to a Chinese restaurant in over a decade and Sweet Mandarin did not disappoint! The prawn toast was SO SO good! Staff were absolutely lovely too! 🙌🏻 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great gluten free menu, for coeliacs, warm welcome, fantastic food, got card and chocs for birthday

Great for Gluten Free and nice food, very accommodating 👍🏻

They have a separate vegan menu. They also have a separate gluten free menu with a wide range of options including vegan, gf spring rolls - which are delicious (so much so my non gf boyfriend took the last one). As a vegan coeliac these menus are very helpful, as are the staff. I went this week for the first time in a while. The staff were lovely, friendly and accomodating with my vegan/gluten free requets and the food was delicious! I always love the salt and pepper tofu (previously my family, who are not vegan, said that this was the best tofu they had ever tasted). This time I had the spring rolls, salt & pepper tofu, jungle curry and salt & pepper chips - all really flavourful and tasty. Non vegan/gf friends who I went with were very happy with their dishes as well. The staff knew that it was my birthday and they gave me a very thoughtful present, which was lovely. I'll have to make sure I don't leave it as long before I go again!

Amazing food, so accommodating for gluten free. There is a separate menu, and they have separate woks and rice cookers, so really understand the cross contamination issue for coeliacs! Would definitely recommend to anyone, especially coeliacs who miss the taste of Chinese food!

Lovely atmosphere and great service from all the staff who were very attentive. Food arrived quickly and tasted great. The gluten free menu gave me lots of choice so would definitely visit again

Absolutely wonderful Gluten Free Food, a real rarity in Chinese Cuisine. Highly recommended. The staff were helpful and the menu was varied with lots of choice.

Great option for gluten free Chinese food. I’ve never had the option for a full Chinese meal of any substance. It’s usually lame, tasteless options but they had a full gluten free menu with food that I actually wanted to eat! The gluten free dinner for two was a ton of great food for the price. Definitely recommend.

Not great, or particularly cheap. The pad Thai was slimy and overly sweet with no egg, peanuts, tofu or slice of lime. The servers were wearing jogger tops and bottoms, so not really somewhere to go for a memorable meal

Had an amazing meal here after work, we were greeted and taken to our table and had the friendliest service you could ask for from start to finish. There are dedicated menus for Gluten Free (and think I saw a veggie/vegan one) and can confirm...

I am absolutely blown away. I was diagnosed coeliac at the end of January and was worried about eating out for my birthday. A friend recommended Sweet Mandarin as they have amazing GF food. Now, I make a lot of GF Chinese at home but...

Fabulous food... stunning service and the loveliest of people that run this restaurant. Made something not on the menu for us.A++++++

Really nice little place. Staff nice and helpful. Food was great. They have great selection gluten free menu. Main menu is nearly all gluten free as well.

Cold restaurant, poor service, NO atmosphere, very small portions, very expensive and disgusting GF food.

Sweet Mandarin, Chinese Restaurant in the Northern Quarter is a definite "One to avoid". The place was dirty, lacked any sort of ambiance, and the attitude of the staff was disgusting, no warm welcome, a female member of staff who looked like a 14 year...

We went yesterday (3/02/23) There was two of us. We ordered as follows: Sweet & Sour Chicken with Fried Rice and Chips. Shredded Beef with Boil Rice and Potatoes. Washed down with 4 Bottles of 330ml Larger. In total, this came to £88.40. The food...

We visited on Saturday night , the restaurant was that cold that people were sitting in their coats to eat . I can only describe the food as over priced and average at best . The waitress was very inexperienced and we were rushed with...

Visited one evening when we wanted somewhere close and quick to eat whilst staying in the nearby Holiday Inn. The food was incredible and there was plenty to choose from. We love Chinese cuisine and this is some of the best we've eaten in a long time. Drinks and food arrived very quickly after ordering and the service was also excellent. We will definitely be returning when we visit the city centre again.

Let me start, £14 for an omelette are you having a laugh? We asked for a plain foo young but because it wasn’t on the menu we were charged the same price if we had ordered chicken, disgraceful and to top it off I’ve never been so embarrassed in my life when we had to pay the bill & divide it by 3 trying to work out the cost of how much we each owed before the actual meal, a stressful experience that lacked enthusiasm from the staff members & the food in itself was bland, we left in a hurry & won’t be returning, absolute rip off for food that was overly expensive & lacked any flavour.

We visited this restaurant last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The staff were lovely and attentive and the food as usual was amazing. We had the gluten free dinner for two and everything was so tasty and hot. Thanks for a lovely evening and...

An absolutely exquisite visit to Sweet Mandarin. The owner, Helen, is an absolute gem and the gluten free food was out of this world!!! I never thought I'd taste Chinese cuisine again after being diagnosed with coeliac. 15 years later and that all changed! Don't...

An absolute must for those on gluten free diet. Food was amazing

The food was lovely, however the service was poor. We felt very rushed, the staff weren't particularly polite and they seemed inexperienced overall. They have a very strict 9pm close policy, so despite us still having food on our plates and wine in our bottle,...

We had the most fantastic meal here with superb staff and attention to detail. My son has coeliac disease and has not had Chinese for several years. He was absolutely delighted to be able to eat freely and comfortably which is rare for him. The...

This is a lovely restaurant. The servers are really lovely and check in attentively. The gluten free menu is HUGE too. The only downside to the experience was that some of the dishes were too sweet (I suppose the clue was in the name!) and fairly expensive but this was partly due to my choices. Portion sizes very generous and less sweet dishes were delicious. Background music a good noise level too which seems to be a rarity nowadays. Beware that you will need to pay when ordering due to what appears to be a history of previous declined credit cards and people skirting off without paying. Will be back! Please start delivery!!!!

Tastiest Chinese in Manchester. Amazing food with great accomodation for dietary requirements. Lovely staff with fast service. Would definitely recommend for birthdays, kind touches from the restaurant adding to a wholesome evening.

Really bad service, awful food full of thickening agent.

l just want to start by saying that I don't like giving bad reviews but thought I must warn people of the experience we suffered last evening. We went to Sweet Mandarin on Saturday night to celebrate our friends birthday. We were a group of...

Lovely little Chinese with fabulously fresh and tasty food and really friendly service. The salt and pepper wings were phenomenal and we all agreed that this was the best Chinese meal we had eaten in a long time.

I was visiting Manchester from Nashville Tennessee when I went to Sweet Mandarin. I have celiac disease and as I was researching restaurants, I found Sweet Mandarin had a nearly entirely gluten free menu. This was the first time I felt safe eating Chinese food...

The service was amazing- we were greeted by one of the owners who, upon finding it was one of our group's birthday, gave them a card and a free cocktail. The food was really good with a lot of vegan options. My only criticism was...

As a coeliac, Chinese food is always something I miss as it’s not always easy to find places that can accommodate me. So researching places to eat safely on a trip to Manchester, I was delighted to see reviews recommending Sweet Mandarin. We booked a...

Great service and nice food, we went to celebrate my partner's birthday the food was very tasty the pad Thai portion was huge, they have gluten-free menu which is great and the staff is super friendly we'll be back for sure!

Now I know why it was so easy!! Very basic interior. Served by kids. Food had no flavour at all, even the prawns didn't taste of prawn! Don't go.

I’m Coeliac and never thought I’d be able to have Chinese again, but then I found this place! There was a good variety of food available in gluten free and was advised on arrival and when booking that the food is cooked completely separately and...

Lovely food and plenty of gluten free options! Perfect

Just been for a family celebration at Sweet Mandarin. If you have dietary requirements (ours is gluten free ) then they are on top of it, with loads of options. Staff are super friendly. Oh BTW, the food is amazing.

I’ve never left a review before but felt compelled to leave one for this restaurant. We were a group on 9 and not one single one of us was able to eat our food- it was without a doubt the worst food I have ever...
