Visited for lunch. Food quality was absolutely lovely. Food was a plenty. Drinks not so good had an issue with the Corona lager tasting of TCP and line cleaning fluid. The member of staff refused to change it or offer a replacement. Next time I'll be sticking to tap water. Clean your lines properly and this has the potential to get top marks from me next time.

I was racially abused today , Sunday the 9th of February 2025, I waited in cue, for over 7 minutes, the Asian guy, in charge of the grill, refused to take my order, tried severally to speak to him, he ignored me, then 3 white guys came, he straight away, went to them to take their orders, they told him, that I've been there for so long waiting before them, he still didn't want to listen to me, then want to their management to complain, he came, claiming he'll see the camera, came back, asked him, why he didn't take my order, he still didn't utter a word, I demanded to see their manager, but they refused to take me to their manager, I have never faced racism in England, and from a foreigner like me, made it a very bad day for me, I've got a video of the whole incident, which i will be posting all over social media, later today. Because they started speaking their Chinese language or whatever and laughing at me. May be somebody will watch the video, and translate whatever they were saying. Hopefully the 3 English guy's that tried to fight for me, will read this, and testify to my experience today. Such a shame.

Un buffet bastante normal que tiene mucha opción pero algo de la comida estaba rozando el frío y en cuanto al Pato utilizado en la mezcla para las tortitas no se parecía al Pato como lo conozco Carne en frijol negro era bastante bueno, pero las costillas y las alas estaban frías La mejor parte fue la estación de cocción fresca donde las gambas reales y Calamari se cocinaron excelentemente y estaban calientes No probé los postres, ya que la porción de gambas era enorme y prefieren salado de todos modos Creo que podría saborear mucho mejor después de una sesión de cerveza, pero definitivamente no en un lugar al que volvería pronto.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, I highly recommend checking out this all-you-can-eat oriental buffet! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for a delightful evening. The selection of dishes was truly impressive. From fresh sushi rolls and delicious crispy chicken wings to an array of stir-fried vegetables and savory noodles, there was something to satisfy everyone’s palate. Each dish was not only beautifully presented but also bursting with flavor. I particularly loved the crispy spring rolls and the flavorful crispy beef. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The buffet area was well-maintained and stocked, which made it easy to go back for seconds (or thirds!). One of the highlights was definitely the dessert bar. The variety of sweet treats, from ice cream to delectable cakes, provided the perfect end to our feast. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking to indulge in a great meal with family and friends, this buffet is the perfect spot. It offers an amazing value for the quality and quantity of food available. I can’t wait to return for another satisfying experience!

Visitado el fin de semana. Una experiencia horrible. Primero te encuentras con el personal de la casa más desagradable que he encontrado. Un portero de aspecto poco profesional en su teléfono en el vestíbulo y una mujer poco profesional que también estaba en su teléfono y bebiendo una bebida antes de que incluso se molestara en mirar hacia arriba y saludarnos. La comida era muy cara y fría, ninguno de los platos tenía cubiertas y estaban todos abiertos y el lugar era más como un comedor escolar con mesas embestidas muy juntas. Los asientos tenían cubiertas de asiento, pero tenían manchas. Bebidas que debe pedir en la mesa, pero luego insisten en que pague inmediatamente. El local se anuncia para cerrar a las 10 : 30 pm pero a las 9 : 45 pm comenzaron a quitar la comida y vimos a un hombre comenzar a limpiar la nevera del desierto mientras había pasteles allí; y a las 10 pm el portero grosero está dando instrucciones a la gente para que se vaya ya que “ahora estaban cerrados”. No te permiten terminar tu comida o bebida e insisten en que te vayas. Obviamente, no se toman en serio la seguridad alimentaria, de lo contrario, la comida se serviría caliente y se retiraría antes de que se realizara ninguna limpieza; o tratan a sus clientes con respeto o cortesía alguna; todo lo que les interesa es embestir a la mayor cantidad de personas en el lugar como sea posible y tomar su dinero. El servicio al cliente es inexistente. Un miembro de nuestro grupo se quejó y la mujer en la recepción no podía ser molestada, ni siquiera una disculpa. Nos fuimos y en media hora un miembro de nuestro grupo pasó algún tiempo en el baño de vuelta en nuestro hotel. No recomendaría este lugar. Alimentos: 0 / 5 | Servicio: 0 / 5 | Atmósfera: 0 / 5

Si te gustaron los buffets del mundo bajo una gran selección de deliciosa comida, entonces este no es definitivamente el lugar para usted. La comida era fría y seca insípida y abajo no comestible. Tanto que no pasamos de los entrantes antes de irnos. Quejarse al gerente fue la respuesta que obtuvimos "es un buffet hay que esperar que la comida esté seca y fría" - El Gerente No es de extrañar que la comida estuviera fría, dado que los miembros del personal caminaban abriendo las tapas de cada producto alimenticio y luego simplemente se alejaban con ellos abriendo cómo se supone que deben mantener una temperatura segura de los alimentos y el personal está haciendo esto está más allá de mí. Como te digo evita este lugar hay algunos buffets deliciosos por ahí, que hemos tenido el placer de probar sin embargo esto tiene que estar allí con una de esas peores experiencias gastronómicas. También hemos escuchado a la pareja en la mesa de al lado permanecer atentos exactamente lo mismo que la comida estaba fría y sabía mal y dispararon a su izquierda después de llegar a sin siquiera terminar sus bebidas teniendo un montón de otras experiencias en las críticas aquí parece que la administración simplemente no le importa si te quejas porque han tenido dinero. El gerente nos dijo que la única manera de obtener un reembolso es si recibe un informe médico que indique intoxicación alimentaria con esto como fuente, momento en el que el informe se enviará a la oficina central para que citen "considere dar un reembolso", de lo contrario, eso puede darle un vale de £ 10 para devolver. Vaya broma.

Top’s Buffet in Manchester is a vibrant, family-friendly dining spot offering an all-you-can-eat experience for around £20 per person. It’s a popular choice for families, students, and groups of friends looking for an affordable night out with a variety of dishes to suit different tastes. The standout feature of Top’s Buffet is its extensive menu. From noodles and chicken tenders to steaks, beef, and seafood options like sushi, there’s something for everyone. Additionally, the inclusion of both halal and non-halal options makes it a versatile dining spot for diverse groups. While the food quality isn’t exactly gourmet and can be somewhat inconsistent, the flavors are enjoyable and satisfying for the price. The atmosphere is lively—sometimes a bit too lively. The bustling environment can feel noisy and crowded, especially during peak hours, which might detract from the dining experience for those seeking a quieter meal. However, this high-energy ambiance contributes to its appeal as a social venue, particularly for students on a budget. Overall, Top’s Buffet is not the place for a luxury dining experience, but it delivers on value, variety, and inclusivity. Whether you’re a family looking for an affordable outing or a group of students catching up over an unlimited feast, it’s a solid choice for a casual and budget-friendly meal in Manchester.

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Alda Hysa for the outstanding service and care she provided during our visit to Tops Buffet. One of my family members was unwell during our time there, and Alda went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable and looked after. Her kindness, calm demeanor, and swift support made all the difference in what could have been a stressful situation. Beyond that, Alda’s overall customer service was simply exceptional. She was attentive, approachable, and truly made us feel valued as customers. Her ability to balance professionalism with genuine care is a rare quality and deserves to be highly commended. Tops Buffet is lucky to have someone as dedicated and thoughtful as Alda on their team. Thank you, Alda, for making our visit so memorable and for turning a difficult moment into one filled with compassion and care.

We have previously had a reasonable experience at TOPS buffet in Manchester. However, tonight's experience was diabolical. Very quick for payment, however when it came to the food-tasteless, soggy and simply unpalatable. I wish I was the only one who found the above, the gentleman with his family including two young children reciprocated the same disdain with the food. Unless the quality improves satisfactorily, will not return with family. The only positive was the kind lady at the reception who was apologetic which I felt bad as it wasn't her fault. Her chefs let her down.

We normally come about 4 times a year and normally I would give easily a 4 star across the board but not tonight. The toilet attendant who sits outside didn't realise that my partner was stood outside the toilet doors waiting for our 6 year old son and very sternly, barked order's at him to go and wash his hands (at this point he hadn't even been to the toilet yet, he was checking that his dad hadn't left him) he then started to cry and she quickly tried to deny it. She should have never been in the men's in the first place, let alone talk to a child like that. We did complain and management went to speak with her. But apart from this they're normally very helpful, food is nice, can't complain

Absolutely rotten. Everything tasted of fish and was watery. We watched one member of staff eating with his hands licking all his fingers then touching the pizza with his hands. The chocolate fountain is watered down, all cakes are frozen. The carvery section had a whole a fish on it with its eyes just staring into your soul (think it was trying to tell us to leave while we could) there was no meat just a bowl of pineapple, a traumatised fish and a plate of mash potatoes drier than the Sahara desert. Tables are all sticky the whole spots stinks and the receptionist looks severely depressed. Spoke to the manager and he went in to the back then came out about 20 minutes later and told us he was counting how many plates of food we had and we weren't getting a refund. I said did you noticed they were all still full of food (I had 3 plates because I was trying to find something edible) all 3 plates were still full and he said he didn't care. Avoid the place at all costs I wish I'd popped in mcdonalds and saved myself £25 quid.

So don't know where you can class a 13 yr old has an adult. We wasn't happy. Once in just felt like that it was all rushed. Also ordered the drinks and not even had a drink and there was straight back for pay. Attitude of the staff was not great. Couldn't eat our food in peace has they always keep coming to the table.

About a year ago, I tried their pizza in Luton during my visit, and it instantly reminded me of home in Pakistan. Since then, I hadn’t tried anything else all year because I couldn’t find that authentic Pakistani touch anywhere else. Now, I’m thrilled that they’ve opened a branch right here in my own city, Manchester. When I visited, I knew I wouldn’t be able to eat two, but I was so tempted that I ordered two anyway. I’m so glad they offer an Asian-style pizza with a Pakistani twist. The aroma, the taste everything is exactly as it should be.

My friend made a booking for us for yesterday evening at half 6. However, when we arrived it was impossible to get into the restaurant with people claiming to have been waiting for about 40 mins (this was just the outside queue, there was an additional queue inside). What is the point of having a booking system if people can’t get into the restaurant for the time they booked? I understand weekends can be busy especially during the evenings but that is shocking.

When we arrived the girl at the front desk could not have been more helpful, we were offered a look at the dishes before paying our diner entry fee. There was plenty of food, however due to the time we arrived we were advised they would not be replenishing the dishes. The food in the bain Marie was tasty although a bit dry. The staff taking the drinks orders really do need a course on customer service. We did have an okay experience at the end of the day for what we paid we probably could have had something better elsewhere.

absolutely terrible. got food poisoning from the chicken, went with other people and most of them who also ate the chicken said they feel sick. thrown up the day after, whilst we were there there were flies hovering around all the food. drinks are a ridiculous price and definitely not worth it. staff are rude and pressure you into buying drinks saying things like 'are you buying drinks now or later' when we didnt want one at all and constantly coming over to us when we made it clear we didnt want a £4 pint of coke. ended up ordering one anyway to get them to go away and they still found a reason to come over to us, pressuring us to leave when we had around 30 whole minutes left in the buffet. staff must be bored out of their minds to want to harrass a group of teenagers. definitely avoid. awful food and terrible service. stay clear.

The sheer variety of food was impressive, with stations offering everything from Indian curries to Chinese stir-fries and even freshly made sushi. I loved being able to try a bit of everything, and the quality of the dishes was surprisingly good for a buffet. The atmosphere was lively but not too crowded, and the staff were attentive, making sure everything stayed stocked and the tables were clean. It’s a fantastic place if you’re dining with friends who all have different tastes or just want to indulge in a little bit of everything!

Veggie options ain’t the best. We Got stuck in an area which must be an over flow due to wheelchair not being able to go on the main floor , it’s a bit grim up there and the wheelchair user was unable to access the food area to pick what food the wanted, felt a bit discriminatory See attaché photo of the seating area where fabric was ripped and seen better days

Shocking is not the word!! My 13 year old daughter who is a full time wheelchair user gets told she can't use the lift to access the food because her wheelchair is to heavy!! DISCRIMINATION to disabled people!! I will be taking this matter further and making sure everyone knows !! Very upset THANK YOU for ruining my daughters day! 😡😡😡😡

Lovely place with a good atmosphere, however, the food choices are limited, no sea food, dessert table had no fresh fruits and cakes were frozen inside.

Llegó a las 21. 20 , se le dijo en el escritorio que dejaron de sacar comida a las 22 . 00 y cerrado a las 22. 30 . Entré, estaba sentado. Bebe órdenes donde se toma. Llegaron los tragos. Recogí un plato de con un poco de sushi y un tazón de pollo y sopa de maíz dulce de lo más pequeño. Subí al mostrador de teppanyaki pedí filete y calamar, 10 minutos de espera. El calamar tenía un sabor extremadamente pescado (no como sabe el calamar) Me encanta el calamar y lo he comido durante más de 20 años, esta fue la primera vez que no he podido comerlo, sabía mal. Volví a levantarme, para que me dijeran muy groseramente (a los 22 años. 00 ) que la comida estaba siendo empacada y no podríamos conseguir nada más. Para añadir insultos a las lesiones no pudimos usar el baño ya que los cerraron a las 22. 00 (o antes) . Con más de una hora en coche a casa, sintiendo hambre, sintiéndonos desesperados por ir al baño, y preguntándonos si terminaremos con una intoxicación alimentaria... ¡¡se mantendría el 100 % alejado!!

I recently visited TOPs World Buffet in Manchester, and my experience left much to be desired. From the outset, the restaurant was uncomfortably hot, making it difficult to enjoy the meal. The temperature inside felt more like a sauna than a restaurant, and it seemed like the air conditioning was either malfunctioning or simply not up to the task. The food itself was substandard, lacking in both quality and freshness. Many of the dishes tasted bland and unappetizing, and it was clear that some had been sitting out for far too long. Despite the wide selection, the variety didn’t compensate for the overall lack of quality. To make matters worse, the service was frustratingly disorganized. I had to ask five different staff members just to get a pair of chopsticks, and no one seemed to understand my request when I asked for a small mixing bowl for the wasabi and soy sauce. Without a bowl, I ended up having to pour the condiments directly onto my plate, which ruined my meal as everything became overly saturated and unpleasant to eat. The atmosphere was chaotic and noisy, more akin to a school canteen than a restaurant. The tightly packed tables and high noise levels made it difficult to relax and enjoy the meal. Overall, my visit to TOPs World Buffet was disappointing. The uncomfortable heat, subpar food, disorganized service, and chaotic atmosphere make it a place I would not recommend or visit again.

Food wasn't nice. Most of the Waiters were sweaping the floor with the brush and was serving with the same unwashed hands. honestly.

Loved being able to choose a wide variety of food, everyone in the family happy even the picky ones. Toilets not very clean despite there being a lady by them with a tip jar, and the place was noisy too - recommend headphones for those with sensory issues. Went on a Saturday and would happily go again

Myself and my husband came for the first time and were not disappointed. The food is outstanding and so much choice. It was all cooked really well and tasted freshly made. It was really busy but that was because it was a Saturday night so I think we’ll try and weekday next time. The staff were friendly enough but just wanted to get your drinks orders and then get your money. You pay for the food before you’re seated and drinks are pay as you go table service. Would recommend and will definitely be returning.

We went on the 23rd of August for my 21st birthday. It was a party of 6. The blonde woman on the front of house who took our money was really rude didn’t really greet just demanded our money. We spent the first 45 minutes enjoying our food until the youngest of our party (10) began feeling sick and immediately went to the toilet and threw up. There was a lovely woman who sits in front of the bathroom entrance who came in and checked up on us. After we had left the bathroom we got our stuff and left. As we are walking literally around the corner to the Q car park, the youngest is still violently throwing up every few steps and that’s when it becomes apparent something is wrong because another person in our group begins to do the same. We now have two people throwing up. We all go home. I then get a message around 9-10pm in our groupchat starting up a conversation saying that everyone else is being sick and even experiencing diarrhoea. My youngest brother is still experiencing this too. Me and my partner went to bed before waking up around 12-1am throwing up and having bad stomach. I suffer from Crohn’s disease so this was even worse and is still evident not just with me but everyone. We all have made a report to Manchester City council food hygiene report line. I rang up at 12pm today on the 24th to ask for the manager, where the front of house woman said he is a meeting, he will reply to my email ive sent when he is free. I have just rang up at 2:47 pm for an update on wether the manager is free. The woman on the phone was disgustingly rude and said “yea well it’s a long meeting” I then have told her to inform the manager we have contacted city council and she replied “well haven’t had any complaints apart from you lot it’s probably a virus” I have contacted 111 last night and they say it is most likely food poisoning and for us to make our way down to a&e if it gets worse or wait till Monday for the gp to do a stool sample. I then say to her it’s not just us, you can read the reviews online there is multiple people experiencing the same thing. I would like to speak to the manager not front of house. She then says ok and that is the end of call. My brother and partner also said they seen a family picking the food up with their hands and just been downright disgusting. We are all so upset as it was a birthday party and want a refund haven’t got much hope for it especially with the way we have been treated.

The restaurant was very crowded with not much space between the tables. The selection of food was OK but it all tasted very salty. The staff were very polite, which was the only positive from the overall experience! The toilets were quite untidy - I would not revisit the restaurant, unfortunately

The last two times I have been here the owner does not seem happy and the food is not the same. I have been coming here for years for the friendly welcome more than anything, but it has gone. I hope whatever the problem is passes.

Vinimos a Manchester para visitar a nuestra hija en Uni. Teníamos hambre y fuimos a algunos lugares en el mismo camino, pero caminamos directamente. Este lugar apareció en Google. Puedes oler la comida en el aire que viene por la carretera. Tiene un agradable ambiente relajante en el interior, música reggae sonando. De una familia de chefs que respetan el arte. Bueno, ¿qué puedo decir que no nos decepcionaron? Pedimos el pollo patán, pollo guisado marrón, cordero, verdura al vapor, col y albóndigas y una raya roja. Muy recomendable, la comida estaba en su punto, grandes porciones sanas llenas de comida con sabor. Tengo hambre y la porción estándar era más que suficiente. Todos no pudimos conseguir suficiente, increíble, bien hecho Ustedes están haciendo un gran trabajo, sin tonterías jamaiquino Comida.

Nice bar to catch up with friends in, as it has a relaxed and laid back vibe. The music is good and not overly loud. You can get Nell's Pizza here, which is always a win, we also tried the ice cream sandwiches, a fun concept but a bit dificult to eat. You can order drinks at the bar or by a QR code but the QR menu doesn't list all the available drinks.
