Slightly odd location, feels like a US highway truck stop! Inside definitely dated. However, food was decent, big portions which means its really good value for money if you all pitch in together for a mixed buffet

The food we ordered today was very bad. The salt and pepper squid we ordered was really hard to bite and the batter was very soggy. It smelt like it was expired. We ordered king prawn fried rice but they gave us Singapore friend rice. Also, we ordered udon noodles and they put so much black pepper and we couldn't eat it. £60 was actually a waste as we threw the food in the bin. We will never order food from here again.

We drive past Winner city a lot on our way to other places and have always wondered what it’s like so took a punt on a Saturday in a heatwave and was thrilled that we did. The interior is lovely and my son (4) was very impressed which reminded us both of our first time at a Chinese restaurant over 30 years ago when it felt exotic! Service was perfect and the food was fantastic. Really fresh and absolutely delicious. We’ll definitely be back again. A few reviews we read has commented ok service but I think since covid it’s been harder for restaurants to find people, we had a few trainees but they were a delight and very attentive.

Not happy with service - forgot some of our order then had to wait for my main whilst rice etc.. on table. All way thro the meal the telephone was constantly ringing - this was so annoying - they never answered it once!! The main upset on leaving was as my husband left and I went to pay the lady chased my husband out saying you not paid in front of all the diners!!! I assume from our appearance tattoos etc.. she assumed that of us. On returning to me at the counter were I was paying NO APOLOGY - we will defo not recommend or return!!!

We (a party now of 5, was 6) have been coming here a number of years but probably not any more. We came just before Christmas when the food was as good as ever (except it didn't all come out together). There were staffing problems. We were there on Saturday when service was appalling and no celebration of Chinese New Year. Had it not been for Aaron we might have left after the starter. 4 hot starters followed by 1 cold starter. We had eaten the hot starters by then. We were then given cold bowls for the main course but Aaron replaced these with warmer bowls and brought the plate we had asked for. We asked to speak to Ellie. We were told she was too busy. We were asked to wait 10 minutes. We decided not to bother. We have always left a generous tip but not this time. No-one was supervising the young waiting on staff and Aaron was running about like a madman trying to please everyone.

This was before the worst of covid. the winner city have used covid to refurbish the restaurant which is nearly completed. i took my friends and family for an all you can eat meal, the food was excellent as usual and a great price too the speed with which they completed each course was tremendous. the team are friendly and very hospitable as soon as your glass was empty they asked do you need more.we were there for about 3 hours because it was a birthday bash and they did not try to usher us out as other restaurants do. i really do like the food and atmosphere at the winner city. do try it out you will not be disapointed everyone in our party thought it was excellent the food was so tasty.

Have had food from here before and it was okay, but this week, ordered a takeaway and it was disgusting! Chicken wings were more like budgie wings they were that small. Special fried rice tasted of nothing, and the chicken and black bean sauce, the only thing with taste was the peppers in it. Never using again.

Went for Sunday Buffet. Good choice of main courses and plenty of it. It could have been a little hotter. Service was OK although a little brusk. The only thing that let's it down is the poor state of decoration and fittings, it could have been so much better. Overall though, it was good value for money.

We have been regular take awayers at Winner City for 19 years.We tried the "all you can eat" fixed price buffet for 2nd time withn family last night and we were pleased to see how busy the restauarnt was, with lots of young willing front of house staff supported no doubt by a bustling kitchen.Service was very good, and we were able to choose a wide variety of dishes- this allowed us to have a much wider range of food than if we had ordered (and shared) individual meals- the only negative is that you have to be much better at self regulating your calorie intake than we were, to avoid over-doing it!All in all a very enjoyable visit, may be a few years before we are ready to go "all in" again

Visited here with 4 friends for a birthday celebration having had many lovely meals from here before, we were not disappointed! We opted for the all you can eat menu which is very reasonably priced, not as much choice as the ordinary menu but still plenty of dishes to choose from nonetheless. All food was hot and delicious, the crispy shredded beef in spicy sauce is the best I’ve ever had! They also let us bring our own cake for dessert and provided us with a knife and extra plates for this which was very much appreciated. Service was quick and the ladies who served us were both friendly. Will definitely be returning again!

Been several times for the all you can eat buffet and not much has changed...if anything the food has got better but the service.... goodness me, Ist time we have ben on a Saturday and the restaurant was busy so they had extra staff that looked like they were on day release from the local school... couldn't have bern older than 16 and clumsy and inept and almost everything that as cleared from our table ended up being dropped..The worse offender was a chinese looking chap who found rude and clumsy beyond possible,,,,, he was unfriendly and unresponsive when asked questions..... he would be better behind closed doors.... on previous visits I have had no problem with the service.......The food however remains superb.... faultless freshly cooked to order and delicious... and of course plentiful and we were fully stuffed by the time we left..... when I booked I was asked if special occasion and I told them it was my mothers 80th..... however no mention if this was made..... I have worked in hotels and catering for much of my life and 50% of the experience is about the welcome and the service which hare on this visit was non existant..... a sham as this established business could be such a better customer experience the food as I say is excellent...everything else needs much improvment

For years people have said what a lovely place this is, so as our regular place is shut for a holiday we thought we’d give it a try. We had the Set Menu B. Mix Platter, sweet sour chicken, satay Beef and prawns in black bean sauce and fried rice. The whole meal was prompt and hot and quite tasty. The price including small wine and J2O was £42. Quite good at that price. However, we were asked numerous times if we had ordered a drink and what meal we had ordered. We got the idea that they were disorganised. The place was clean and very Chinese. I’d go back but only for the odd change in routine.

My husband and I went to try out the all you can eat menu and having read the previous reviews, I was fearing the worst! I am happy to say, I was mostly proved wrong. Service was swift although the waitress who showed us to our table was not very communicative and made us feel unwelcome as soon as we arrived, especially as we had not booked. I also saw her watching us constantly from her area to see if we had finished a drink or food. I understand attentiveness but this particular waitress put us on edge. In between this,there were some lovely young waitresses who were really polite and helpful. However I felt like these waitresses were not given the credit they deserve by management and it was these guys who made the experience improve. Forgive me if I am wrong, but I got the feeling that there was competition for tips as it was a case of who can reach our table first. Yet, the group of young waiters/waitresses worked as a team and helped each other out unlike some of the other members of staff. Having read the reviews prior, we did not tip as I was not sure the waitresses would receive it. Whilst their is a culture of money,the food itself was delicious. When we visit again, we going to ensure we are served by someone who makes us welcome from the start as having not visited before, we felt rather nervous about what to expect. Top tip - ensure your all you staff are friendly towards customers as first impressions count!

We went to winner city for a family meal. We have been here a few times with no problems. and thought that the food was good. Everything was fine until the bill came. my granddaughter who is 4 came with us as a child she didn't like the food we ordered however we put half a chicken satay and one slice of prawn wonton on her plate to try. She ate none of it so we ordered some chips explaining to the manager/owner she isn't going to eat anything and laughingly saying well we tried.' when the bill came they had charged us £9.00 for her food. We politely pointed out that she didn't eat anything and just had the chips. the owner /manager very rudely said there was food on her plate. We explained that she didn't eat it and that was why we had ordered the chips. She and she responded in a very argumentative manner while raising her voice '' IF SHE ISNT GOING TO EAT IT DONT PUT IN ON HER PLATE''! This upset my granddaughter causing her to cry and become upset. As we went to pay the bill at the bar one member of staff was apologizing for what had happened. Then the stupid woman came up and again verbally attacked us, shouting and being incredibly rude !! She ruined a nice family evening! We have been here numerous occasions but will not be coming back !! Avoid this place at all costs !! The owner / manager is rude and obnoxious !

We can here with family, and it’s safe to say the food and service was terrible. We ordered a fish dish for our mains, specifically asking for no ginger in it because my sister is allergic. When the dish arrived we asked again that there was no ginger, and we were told there wasn’t. My sister then ended up having an allergic reaction as there was in fact ginger in the dish. PLEASE BE CAREFUL EATING HERE IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES!!!

Was told when we got in that the buffet now finished despite it being advertised as on til four. Full price for all you can eat adult is £17.50 so we opted for a set menu at £13.90 each. The food itself was nice, hot and prompt service. However, we paid the £41 bill (only had two soft drinks) and left. Wasn't until we were home that I realised we'd been charged for the£17.50 all you can eat menu, not for the food we actually had!! Glad we didn't leave a tip, since they got 20% extra off us!

We eat here regularly and have never had bad food. The staff have always been friendly and the service good. We usually have the all you can eat buffet which has a good selection. Food always comes piping hot and never had to wait long. My only negative is the charge for our 3 year old. He literally had a bowl of boiled rice and one piece of battered chicken and we were charged £8.50 which is a kids all you can eat price. I was quite happy to order the dish as part of my all you can eat and him share but this isn’t allowed. My husband had boiled rice too and he could’ve just had some of that rather than wasting food.

Visited last week after almost being put off by some poor reviews.First impressions not promising dowdy almost industrial unit looking building and on entering its like enter the dragon.... very 70.s and dated. The staff are not particularly friendly and welcoming but god are they efficient, drinks were on the table seconds after ordering them and the food was served up so quickly after ordering I was a tad gobsmacked, and the food delicious and piping hot and fresh. We had the eat as much as you can buffet and had 4 starters between the 2 of us... the minced mixed meat with lettuce wraps exceptionally delicious... ribs where the neat fell from the bone... the squid was a bit tough but we ate the lot.... mains we had delicious crispy beef, barbecue pork in oyster sauce a highlight, garlic butter prawns, chicken in lemon sauce, my least favourite dish, like chicken in batter in lemon curd, too sweet for me. noodles with beanshoots and special fried rice which was a bit sticky and claggy to be honest, 4 drinks and £50 for the 2 of us.... a bargain.. will definitely go back again and if the service was a bit more friendly would get a better score Delicious and a surprise as I was expecting the worse,

Took some friends here who were staying with us from Wales. We opted for the All you can Eat menu. There were seven of us in the party but you can order only four dishes at a time. I was worried that the portions sizes may not be enough but I needn't have. We had honey chicken wings, peking ribs, spring rolls and satay chicken skewers to start, followed by more ribs, skewers,prawn toast and seaweed. All were absolutely delicious and the plates went back clean. We followed with mains of chicken with pineapple, beef with mushroom, duck in plum sauce and sweet and sour pork hong kong style. We chose special fried rice, egg fried rice and singapore noodles to accompany them and every dish was perfectly cooked. Our friends really enjoyed the food. The staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We were not rushed between courses which was nice. Will definitely dine here again.

Went for an All You Can Eat meal on the 22nd of April, was surprised for it to be much busier than usual. My party was seated as soon as we walked through the door greeted by a lovely smiley face. The waitress kindly took our order and left us with menu's. The drinks did take a while to arrive however this was fully understandable with the big parties and lack of staff. Will say point blank that the two eldest English staff are by far the biggest credit to the restaurant, the young man keeps his cool under the busy circumstances, both manning phone and restaurant, whilst the girl keeps an eye on floor and takes phone orders. Extremely impressed by service, food was great, ribs by far the best I have tasted and the hot chilli pepper chicken was brilliant. The décor inside is dated but its the service I look at, not my surroundings. £3.50 for a pint of lager is overpriced however but you cannot expect cheap drinks with such a good offer of £16.50 all you can eat. Would say a few staff need a lesson in how to approach customers and a little initiative but more experienced staff fully make up for the blunders of the younger. All in all great food, great staff and credit to the English bar/reception staff, never seen such experience on two young heads. WOULD RECCOMEND.

Food was OK when it eventually arrived.Waited 20 minutes before first drinks came and 40 minutes before first lot of starters.Food was OK but nothing amazing, for the price you pay you could stay at home and order from the local takeaway and have a better meal.No atmosphere, it seats 180 people and there were only 3 waiting staff so was a long wait for the food to come.We were waiting a long time for each meal to arrive.When we asked the waiting staff if they got the tips because we could see that they were working hard, they told us that they didn't and the owners got the tips.We felt sorry for them because they were only young and they never stopped.The lady who I assume was the manager was rude, we asked for more starters and she told us we couldn't order until all the food had gone, we had about 10 chicken wings left and by the time the food would of come they would of gone.The price is £16.50 per person all you can eat but £2 extra per person if you wanted duck. We ordered the duck and there was no way enough for the 10 of us.We ordered mains and it states on the menu that you can only order 4 items at a time. We chose 2 mains, fried rice and chips (extra £2) the young waitress came back saying we could order 2 more mains so we did. When they came the portion sizes were for 1 person not the 10 of us that we assumed.We won't be returning.

Visited with family for my mums birthday and couldn't fault it. Doesn't look much from the outside but don't let that put you off. Inside is spotlessly clean, food delicious and inexpensive and the service was excellent. We took a birthday cake in and they kindly brought it out for us after our meal and played happy birthday.Highly recommend to anyone.

I was slightly dubious at the start of the visit due to the exterior of the building but as the old adage goes- do not judge a book by its cover rings true in this instance.I went with a party of four and we went for the buffet option which was 16 pounds ( however we had to pick dishes from menu instead of going to a buffet). We were allowed four dishes each time from either starters or mains though rice and noodles dishes were not included in that allowance in mains section which was fair. Literally all dishes were excellent particularly orange chicken. However it was very filling so there could be a better value in going for the normal menu depending on your appetite! The staff was polite without any problem and it was easy enough to find parking in a large car park on a Friday evening.

The food was average. I would say most of it was deep fat fried. The whole restaurant is in need of a total revamp. Shabby and dated. There was no atmosphere in the place. Bright lights and VERY low music. Poor. Would not go again.Also beware when you order drinks. There are no prices on the menu for drinks. They are very expensive.

I love Chinese food, I have been to many restaurants and this tops the list. Quality, and at a very reasonable price. Excellent chef and kind, friendly staff who genuinely care. Made our day. Many thanks.

Although the place was near on empty it took a long time to get the food ordered and was a tad on the expensive side. Nice though.

Visited with our two young children and upon entry the decor is very dated and unwelcoming and cheap looking. Already on our table was old brown crackers probably from lunch time. The menu choices are limited in comparison to the spring water. The sauces were very watery and the duck was very dry. Most dishes come Deep fried with batter. Personally we prefer a sizzling steak in Cantonese sauce but even this wasn't on the menu. Service was very slow which is not good with children and we arrived at 17.30 opening time! and when you can eat as much as you like becomes pointless. To be charged over £8 per child is extremely over priced! And risky if they're not keen on the choices. We gave my child one tiny piece of chicken and was told they couldn't sample the food (not even a pineapple from the sauce) unless we paid the £8 and we were watched so closely that it was uncomfortable. One particular young waiter was pleasant but apart from that the rest of the staff didn't break one smile. We left unhappy with a £69 bill and had 3 bottles of larger and hungry children. Wouldn't visit again and wouldn't recommend, especially with children and tables cramped together.

What a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The service was good and the people very pleasant. The food was freshly cooked and succulent. We didn't have to wait long for each course. Each of the children went for half price too.A lovely little place, well worth the price and we'll worth a visit.

Always used to love this restaurant. Heard a few horror stories of upset stomachs from the takeaway but I've always been fine until the last time I visited where I felt incredibly ill after eating in the restaurant with family.

Very good Chinese/Cantonese food. The staff are lovely, I have been coming to this restaurant and have used their take-away for about 20 years and it is always good value. Parking is excellent, the interior could do with a little up-dating but a great place to get Chinese food.

My parent and four friends visited on Saturday evening and said they had one if the best Chinese meals they had in a long time. We had heard negative feedback and they called me first thing to say book for my birthday meal next week as lovely and we won't be disappointed. Portions were generous and sometime too many for the 6 of them, service was great, left long enough to enjoy your food and not bothered constantly. Looking forward to our visit next week

We travel from Manchester especially to eat at winner city. The exterior and interior is not a great selling point but the food, quailty, variety and value have by far surpassed some establishments in Manchester china town and the service is fantastic. The staff are efficient, courteous and are happy to cater for your every whim. If you want smiley smiley stick to the American themed have a nice day restaurants. Have you ever taken the time to speak to the staff? Try it, they are really interesting and kind and caring and yep not always smiley but very efficient. You reep what you sow. And so we will continue to come back and enjoy the good food and hospitality.

Visited at 6.30pm you would have thought food would be fresh and as a well seasoned foodie family we were looking forward to a treat. That did not happen. Was presented with our starters and instantly greeted with a strange smell, soon discovered it was the lettuce, either it had not been washed properly in clean water or it had been left standing in a very warm place for a very long time. When we asked politely if we could have a fresh plate it was taken without question or comment. When it was returned the plate was dropped on the table and the waiter grumbled the words "its the same batch if thats not any better we cant do anything else" in other words we was stuck with it. True it smelled a little better but not fresh. I was shocked by the shear rudeness. I felt very uncomfortable this was noticed by another member of staff who said this has happened before and called for the manageress who apologised, and by the way of compensation she said he would be kept away from our table ?... We were charged full price and i promise never to go back. I will never recommend this place to anyone.

Upon Arriving at Winner City we were met by a lovely fellow, Colin who was to be our waiter for the night , What a credit this man is to Winner City and would be a asset to any restaurant!!! Surely some restauranteer will eventually poach Colin and put him in charge of others, to show them how waiting should be done!

Lovely stop over after the race's for a proper Chinese meal. We have been going to this restaurant for many years and it's never changed. The food is delicious and good portions. We shared sweet and sour king prawns, special chow mein & wedding rice, which comprises chicken and king prawns. The dishes were very tasty. It's also very good there because they put the dishes hot plate's to keep warm while you are eating. The staff are always friendly and polite. The restaurant it's self is lovely set out table's with proper napkin's. That's what we call a proper restaurant.

I hate seeing bad reviews on trip advisor but there's nothing much to say that's good about the place. We used to visit years ago and it was fantastic. I don't know what's happened but the food is poor, the service is poor and we won't be going again. We decided to go for the buffet and were really disappointed when for 2 of the 4 starters we ordered the duck with pancakes etc (for which you payExtra - no problem with that) and got plenty of duck, cucumber, spring onion and plum sauce but only 5Pancakes. When we asked if weCould have a few more we were told we'd had 6 so someone had eaten 2Stuck together. We aren't morons and we can count. The waiter shouted over his shoulder that we'd have to pay an extra £1 but returned anyway with a bamboo steamer containing a solitary pancake. Customer service at its best. We'd agreed to pay more for the extras butTheyDidn't arrive. The prawn toast was lovely though apparently. There was a lack of organisation and randomly we were approached to ask if our food had arrived by probablyEveryMember of staff at varying pointsOf the time we were there. Drinks were expensive. The Chinese teaWasVery expensive. £92 for dire food, poor service but at least it'll stick in my memory and I won't be tempted to go back again. As others have said, there are some fabulous places to eat very nearby. Our local takeaway for a third of the price does fantastic food, in a timely manner and always with a smile and pleasant chat. It's a no brainer. Next time, I'll be staying in and ordering.

As my regular Sunday carvery restaurant was fully booked (Mothers Day), I decided to try this restaurant instead. The outside is very dated and the inside decor is old fashioned and not in keeping with how Chinese restaurant should look (IMHO). That aside, for £16.99 all you can eat, (best value as mains are around £10 each), there is lots of choice. The salt and pepper ribs were fab, sesame prawn toast was great (not thick and greasy like some restaurants offer). The mains were smaller than normal portions, because you can order as many as you wish. The chicken Kung Po was particularly good. Service was quick. I highly recommend this restaurant for the great food, to enjoy with family and friends, but not if you want to impress someone, as the decor is very old fashioned and the waiters/waitresses (not Chinese), are not smart in appearance, nor customer service savvy.

Went here for a family meal last night for my daughters 18th birthday meal. The food wasn't the best I've had, but ok. Although the service was poor, not one of the staff had a smile they were all very miserable and the wait between each course was too long. I think they all need to work on they're customer service skills! I won't be returning. .

Although this place is not the most attractive from the outside and easy to miss everything inside is a treat! Great fast service and there 16.99 all you can eat is great, food is fresh and really tasty, much better then a serve your self all you can eat with the food being brought to the table everyone can eat together ! I would definitely recommend this place and I'm glad I listened to a family members recommendation and checked it out as I work down the road from here and it's so easily overlooked when you drive past! GO!!

We came hear as a second choice to Springwater Chinese as they are apparently booked up for 2 weeks.We were glad we came here as the fish and duck dishes are very tasty.I personally prefer more spice, hence liking the above restaurant, but this place gives it a run for its money.There is loads of parking and the facilities are clean and seating is spacious, inside felt a little cold but I'm nesh and prefer to be warm all the time.The only bad points and I'm being picky is that the squid was slightly overcooked, we had to wait for service once course was finished and the main course spoon was plastic and not porcelain.Give it a go, you won't be disappointed you will however be ready to burst when your done.
