Tung Fong in Salford

I came here last week for a meal with my family and the meal came to £600 for 5 people including drinks as I went to pay the person taking the payment said how much tip would you like to pay and I said excuse me nothing as the food was not that nice service was horrible and he then decided to insult all my family by saying was the restaurant and staff that bad we won’t leave a tip and the was not allowed to finish or drinks and then ushered out disgusting staff food and restaurant

Visited with family. Beautiful meal which was very tasty and flavourful

Brilliant enjoyed everything.keep up good work.

Good food, nice staff. Nothing to right home about.

Nice food , expensive plus service charge added , nothing telling you about service

My family and friends have been to the restaurant almost every 20 years for takeaway & dining in , but recently the foods doesn’t taste the same.The vegetables onions and pepper from the salt & pepper ribs , fry noodles and sauce were cold, my wife ended up with a stomachache, never come again just waste food and money

I'm vegiterian so I don't know about the meaty stuff, but great range of vegiterian foods, I hate mushrooms but some of the stuff that has it in you can't taste it I only found out a year after eating them a lot , noodles are amazing 🤩! My family and I have been coming here for a long long time, always been great!

What a gem of a place. Beautiful food and incredible customer service.

It is a long time (over 10 years) since we have visited Tung Fong and I don’t know why. The food was AMAZING! absolutely delicious. We will be back and so much sooner this time.

Amazing food and attentive staff without being intrusive. A little expensive but you get what you pay for. The quality of the food stands out, always fresh and delicious. Great that they have a takeaway service too.

I recently dined at Tung Fong Chinese Restaurant and unfortunately, I was left disappointed. While the ambiance was pleasant and the service was satisfactory, the quality of the food fell short of expectations. The chow mein I ordered was subpar; the noodles were dried out, which significantly impacted the overall taste and texture. It's disappointing to receive a dish that doesn't meet basic standards, especially in a Chinese restaurant where noodles are a staple. Improvement is needed in ensuring the freshness and quality of ingredients for a more satisfying dining experience.

AVOID - the staff are so rude and laughed when a generous tip was offered. Wouldn’t go back. Was made to feel very uncomfortable

Great food and friendly service.

Introduction: In the realm of gastronomic pleasures, few experiences can rival the sheer delight of dining at a 5-star Chinese restaurant. Renowned for its rich culinary heritage, China has gifted the world with a tapestry of flavors that dance on the palate and an array of dishes that transcend mere sustenance to become a symphony of taste. This essay explores the reasons why a visit to a top-tier Chinese restaurant promises not only a good meal but an amazing and unforgettable experience. The Ambiance: Stepping into a 5-star Chinese restaurant is like entering a realm where culinary artistry meets refined aesthetics. The ambiance is carefully curated to transport patrons to the heart of Chinese culture. From the elegant decor that echoes traditional motifs to the soft strains of classical music playing in the background, every detail contributes to an atmosphere of sophistication and comfort.

The use of fresh, high-quality ingredients further elevates the dining experience, ensuring that each bite is a revelation of taste and texture. Diversity of Flavors: One of the most captivating aspects of Chinese cuisine is its ability to effortlessly balance a myriad of flavors. A single meal can be a harmonious blend of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami notes, creating a culinary symphony that captivates the taste buds. Whether savoring the robust flavors of a spicy Szechuan dish or indulging in the subtle nuances of a Cantonese delicacy, each plate is a journey through a landscape of tastes.

Great food but surroundings a bit dated

Food was surprisingly bad 👎 carrot shavings mixed into salt and pepper ribs and bland very disappointed . Restaurants are mainstream like Asda , Tesco etc so don't seem to make as much effort as the takeaways which I see as street food which is so much better.

so unloved for the last 20 yrs, its dirty, and decaying. toilets filthy, paint falling off the walls in the main dining area, carpet about 100yrs old. staff not very friendly, our waiter poured half our sizzling beef on the plate, the other half went on the table. no apology or anything just walked off without a care. the food was nice and plenty of it. but its lost its place as a top class restaurant, and if it carries on like this, no one will want to go there anymore.

Food very good, service very good, surroundings a bit dated and toilets need complete refurbishment

Best Chinese around, including Chinatown. It’s not cheap, but you get what you pay for, and what you get is top class!

Lovely restaurant in a lovely setting. The portions are flavoursome and generous and the staff attentive and friendly.

Nice food, plenty of flavour and good quality sized portions. Easy to find and delicious food

Best Chinese in Manchester, great food, good service, it's worth the 28 mile round trip.

Excellent quality Chinese dishes.

It is within walking distance of the Novotel Manchester West hotel, in a lovely old building next to a pub.

Bought spring rolls to take away. Friendly and quick service. They have a bar right next to the area you wait for your takeaway so easy to have a drink whilst you’re waiting which is a real treat.

Very good restaurants and good staff

Staff were rather rude and not very helpful. Food was fine

Very attentive staff at this long standing Chinese restaurant in Worsley. Admittedly, the menu can be overwhelming and this coming from someone who's visited many times. Regardless, you always find something and it's a wonderful meal out.

food was excellent a very wide choice. The hot and sour soup was amazing the £16 service charge was a shock and very much not expected and not made aware to us before hand.

Great food with big portions. Nice selection of different dishes.

Amazing food and staff, come here frequently for delivery or dine in amazing staff too 100% reccomend

The best chinese outside Manchester. Great service and price. Best salt and pepper ribs

The restaurant in question offers great food that is definitely worth the price, although it may be a bit on the pricey side. However, the decor could use a bit of an update as it looks like it's stuck in the 1970s. A change in the ambiance would definitely complement the delicious food. Although a few members of the staff could use an attitude adjustment as they come across as grumpy, the overall experience is still a good one. The tasty food, albeit expensive, coupled with a little sprucing up of the decor, would certainly elevate the dining experience. Despite the few negative aspects, the restaurant still manages to offer a good overall experience.

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended.

We booked for a table of 11last night. Sunday June 11th 2023 Food & service excellent We were sat on a nice big round table which was very sociable. Would highly recommend

Needs a good facelift TBH. This restaurant is a reminder of life in the 1970s . Expensive food & grumpy staff (except Joe on reception who was cool). We went just for some dim sum but got the impression that they were not happy that we took a table just for a few dishes (still cost us £65). The place was empty so not as though we were preventing others from spending. Food is average but expensive! Best/only Chinese in Worsley though :)

(Note: this is definitely definitely DEFINITELY not a bias review this is all true and I am totally not just want the tung fong tripadvisor to look good). Amazing food as always, once I stepped foot into this majestic food, I instantly understood what the praise was in the restaurant. The smell of ribs and cooked noodles instantly enlightened me and the sight of the food's presentation was simply marvellous and underrated. The staff was super peak, they were super nice and understood my queries about this fabulous place. Once they took me to my desired seat, I saw families and friends sitting there enjoying every single minute of this; then there was the grumpy people who are nerds and enjoy putting one stars on restaurant because they felt like it, I hope they understand that they are not funny at all and should not be in this platform what-so-ever. Anyways, about the food, the cooked rice was fabulous, my taste buds wanted more so I ordered more. That is not even the best part, the tofu was soooooooo good, in the matter of 1 milliseconds I have already devoured the entire meal and the table surrounding me (I was like luffy from that scene in one piece!!!). Afterwards, I ordered some ice cream, and oh boy did it deliver, it was potentially the best ice cream I had in my whole entire life. The mixture of the ice cream was simply marvellous and amazing, I asked the staff to tell me the secret recipe for this ice cream but they wanted it as a secret, which I totally understand their opinion. After I finished, I give them one hundred million pounds in tips because I felt like it as the experience was so good and the restaurant should by now have 10000 Michelin stars, but unfortunately due to people giving them a one star (because they think they are very very very funny), this restaurant does not get any attention in the media what-so-ever. This is why I'm creating a movement called "Let Tung Fong be recognised" anyone who is interested in joining then please message me. Finally, once I walked outside, I was sad and lonely again, knowing that I have to wait for 24 hours just to go to this restaurant again. Overall, better food than Gorden Ramsey by far. Plus, I met this cool guy called Hon and he should to follow his tiktok account called "marioiskill" so that is pretty cool. He was enjoyable to talk with and overall a good person. -- written by Joe

The best Chinese restaurant I have ever been too! We always go for the banqueting meal and it never disappoints. Very friendly team and always feel welcome. 100% on the food, it's spot on.

first visit for a while food was v nice as normal just felt a bit rushed tbh as we wer ein and out in an hour not many people in so maybe the reason

Great food, man on next table who liked the sound of his own voice a lot. Don't suppose that's the restaurants fault but rude people put a shadow on my date

This is the first time I have visited this little Gem in Worsley and what a great restaurant. The food was excellent and extremely well priced for Worsley. We will most definitely return and I would recommend a visit to any of my friends.

Slow and unfriendly service. We had to wait a long time for our main course and none of the staff seemed bothered. The food felt and tasted cheap and not particularly clean. Table and room felt dirty and dingy. After eating there I got an upset stomach! Very expensive bill-which if we had enjoyed the food we would have been more accepting of, but food and atmosphere such poor quality, and I got sick, we felt unjustified. Would not recommend.

Very nice place unusual dishes you don't always see and charming staff

My favourite Chinese restaurant went with family on Saturday 11th February the food as always exceptional staff very friendly and helpful the quality of the food is always consistent

Never eaten here before. I will be coming again. Could not fault the food or the service.

We’ve been here a few times now and the meals have been very good, but the last few times the meals have been hit and miss don’t know if there’s a new chief but the standards have changed. We bought a take away meal for two yesterday, the hot and sour soup was nasty much to hot in fact inedible, the dumplings were ok but my main was supposed to be crispy chilli beef, but it was not cooked and was not crispy, the trouble is could not take it back as we live a considerable distance away from Tung Fong. I do hope they sort the chief out as to me he has no standards or pride in cooking. Come on your reputation goes by how you produce your cooking Tung Fong, sort it out. The soup goes through you like a Chinese bullet train.

Had a lovely new year at this famous Worsley restaurant although I started off at the Delph and was completely let down! So paid our bar bill and luckily got a table at the Tung Fung. Very nice family run restaurant Fabulous service Very nice cuisine Thank you all at the Tung Fung for saving our New Year’s Eve and I wish you a very prosperous and happy new year

I grew up eating Szechuan food at least four days a week and later worked in the gastro industry myself. Tung Fong is fantastic: and as authentic as anything I've had anywhere else. You could believe you're in southwest China if only it was a lot noisier and maybe not quite as polite. The selection is large, unlike most "Chinese" restaurants, and the menu is thankfully missing a dozen or two versions of fried chicken, dreadful curries, chips, "mixed grill", and other awfulness. The menu also isn't a few pages of Protein+Sauce. Tung Fong's sauces are matched to the meats, seafood, tofu & veg, and there are a lot of specialty dishes. I only have minor complaint: the place is somewhat pricey but I've been told by others that's due in part to the area. They do offer a decent good discount for take-away and another few points off for cash payment -- basically making up for the card charges they don't have to pay. The other problem is what they're passing off as "General Tso's chicken". It's everything that General Tso's Chicken ISN'T. Wrong sauce wrong veg,, wrong flavours, and even the chicken isn't prepped correctly. But everything else I had was fantastic. If I hit the lottery, I'm coming to stay in Manchester until I've worked my way through this menu. If you're within 20 miles of Worsley, it's worth the detour. You really don't want to miss Tung Fong.

Yum very cool food so good will recommended wow so cool I like it a lot my friends said it’s very cool therefore it’s nice and cool mmm

Have been eating there for years, took my best mate for dinner as a Christmas treat. Food was good, but service terrible. We arrived at 8.20PM on a Thursday evening ordered 3 starters and 3 mains to share. Starters arrive which were nice, but after eating them we asked for a 10 min break before the mains, to which we were told NO. Mains arrived and @ 9.40 we were told they were closing and the staff stood and looked at us and watched us eat our meal. Really not nice. I paid the £112.00 bill and we left. This is the worst place for staff attitude both my mate and I have ever been exposed too. Pity Jo [ Manager] was not around. Will never dine there again- They could have said when taking the order that they were closing @ 10PM and not to order so much food, but no they took the money !!!! Disgusting!!

I arranged my birthday meal here last night for 15 people. I have been before and the food is always lovely and always had a great time but I have to say last night was very disappointing. The waiter was so rude, no patience, he rushed everything and actually stressed me out quite a bit. Totally spoilt my birthday and then the worst was he went round and asked all my family to tip for Xmas! Sorry but outrageous! Such a shame as I won’t go back again!

I've been coming to tung fong for a few years now and it is always fantastic. We had given up on Chinese takeaway but came here for a meal expecting very little despite the good reviews. The location is lovely in the centre of the beautiful Worsley village, parking can be awkward but is always possible. The food is consistently excellent and the staff and owner are lovely. It is an absolute must visit for me and I strongly recommend it to everyone.

My partner and I had given up on Chinese takeaway until we found this absolute gem. It's by far the best Chinese food we've had in Manchester. The staff are lovely, food is incredible and the location is lovely.

We booked a week before for a particular time was told at the time not a problem as no one booked then arrived on time to find they said we should have been there 30 mins before and we had an hour then they want...

Very extensive menu with old fashioned feel about the restaurant. Food was very average but expensive. Service was quick and helpful. So many better restaurants in Manchester. Won't be returning.

Food was okay but everything is so grossly overpriced! Also some members of staff were a little rude.

Food is nice but over priced. Waiter was very rude with no patience whatsoever when taking our order… felt very rushed. our plates were pretty much just thrown on the table and not handed to us as you would expect in a restaurant. At the end of the meal the waitress with the card machine was demanding to know how much tip we are going to give them! This Used to be a lovely place but has sadly changed.

Been going to Tung Fong over 20 years to dine out or take away, best salt & pepper ribs and wings ever

No doubt on the food, it’s exceptionally good. Much better than those in China Town. And you can forget most of the restaurants in China Town after trying this. However, this restaurant also charges pricy, you should budget about £40 per head excluding drinks.

Food is excellent and we have been coming here for years and never been disappointed from that perspective. However, I was utterly shocked to be charged almost £70 for a takeaway for 2-3 people last night. We did not order a massive amount of food...

Have been visiting this restaurant for years food is always excellent the staff are very friendly and attentive I have been to many Chinese restaurants but this is gold standard

Excellent meal with great service.

Ended up coming two nights in a row, through accident rather than design it must be said. First night I dined alone and it was good, though very pricey I thought. Second night there were several of us so we had set banquet which was...

An excellent quaint little restaurant with the usual massive choice of cuisine.

I have been going here for 20 years forget the negative reviews, decor is old fashioned but homely, service is friendly and always helpful. But more importantly never a bad meal, forget Yang sing etc best place to eat Chinese food in Manchester

Great food, and lots of it. Friendly members of staff

Food tastes Ok, but price is high and the potion is tiny. Ordered some king prawn dish for £16 and it comes in a small plate with a few prawns and some vegetable. Not good for value at all.

First time here ,the food was excellent and great service what a lovely place would definitely recommend and go again

Nice food service surroundings luvly fish tanks .. Effective service..just need to adapt WC for a Disabled Acces too could be added in mens as womens wc is up a steep flight of stairs...

I came here for my birthday and wow it really exceeded my expectations. The food is beyond amazing and super delicious! Honestly, they put so much effort in each dish and you can tell it’s a very authentic Chinese restaurant matching the dishes. Everyone in...

By far the best Chinese in manchester great customer service my family have been coming for years and years and it never disappoints! You gotta come try this place ignore all bad reviews they don’t know food!! And the people are brilliant!

Good service, easy to customise and normally pretty quick too.

This is an amazing Chinese restaurant. We couldn't fault one meal. We tried the salt and pepper ribs which everyone raves about and it was amazing but not compared to some of the other dishes. We cannot wait to go back.

Good quality food, wider and interesting menu and happy atmosphere

Last night we had our first meal at Tung Fong in over two years… and the quality of the food and service is as fabulous as it always was! We are both vegetarians and there is plenty for us to choose from… the portions are...

Very good food but the service feels very rushed. No sooner had we downed our chopsticks for the starter were they taken away and our main course was brought out. Also the drinks menu is quite limited and given the quality of the food a...

Excellent food. Efficient and friendly service .

Great food but placed on order for 40min collection, when I arrived had to wait a further 1.5 hours

Lovely food and prompt service, nice restaurant 😋

Not been for a couple of years but just as good as I remember

Love this place, food is delish

Superb. Takeaway was excellent. Awesome duck spring rolls an fabulous Singapore vermicelli noodles.

All the positives: Good food in fact superb Tasted delicious Prompt service and efficient Courteous and welcoming Great wine at a good price Well worthy of tipping - glad to have help now everything has to be contactless Negative We were reminded on paying service...

Always excellent food. Never been disappointed. Such a high standard and quality.

Almost £50 for a takeout. I have the menu from last year & some dishes have increased by 30%! Bog standard in my view . It does not justify high price tag just because its in Worsley. Pacifica, Spring Deer, Linzhi all better than this

Visited on Friday the 20th of July whilst down from Cumbria for the weekend. The restaurant was busy , the staff where attentive, the meal was up there with the best we have had. Overall, quality food at a reasonable price with excellent service. Moral...

I went to Tung Fong last night with 3 friends, the restaurant was absolutely packed, no different from before Covid! The service was awful, we had to ask for quite a few things that weren't delivered to our table.90 minutes in we were still waiting...

Great food, the salt & pepper ribs are the best ever

Steamed dim sums hard. Crispy dim sums soggy. Main meals ok although the fillet steak was too tough. The scallops were tough and inedible. Overall very disappointed. For the price we paid, we expected better quality.

Absolutely first class, delicious food! 5 *

We went to the restaurant last night , booking at 9pm, think the food had been cooked all day, dry duck & ribs, wouldn’t go again

As the title says, we literally order from here a few times a month. Despite being a takeaway the food is amazing! Our go to meals are prawns in ginger and spring onion and crispy beef with noodles. The prawns are HUGE, its amazing. Theres always enough left over for lunch the next day too. Theres usually a wait for food when you order so give yourself 30 mins atleast. 10/10

Best Chinese food in manchester

Wir lieben Chinesisches Essen. Das Essen hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Die Überraschung war das Nest aus Nudeln in welchem unser Essen serviert wurde. Das Restaurant könnte etwas heller sein.

Expensive and average at best , the service was ok but it was as just a takeaway , it’s always busy so we thought it must be good . Unfortunately I was disappointed it’s not that great

The finest Chinese for miles around we eat hear a couple of times per month and never had a bad meal yet.

Just had take away at very high prices thought it would be restaurant quality for this however was distinctly average just like any other take away at half the price!

Got a Saturday night take away from the Tung Fong restaurant expecting that it would be much better than a usual Chinese takeout. I was bitterly disappointed.The hot and sour soup tasted like a spicy sweet tomato soup. The ribs were bland and greasy. The bean curd mushroom in oyster sauce was watery and tasteless. The Szechuan chicken was horrible and tasted bitter. The fried rice was the only thing edible.Most of it went in the binIf we had been sat in the restaurant I would have sent the whole lot back and not paid. I will never use this restaurant again for take away or sit in.Cash paid as requested or I would have asked the credit card company to request a refund.
