My all time favourite place to eat in Manchester, great quality food, service and atmosphere. We order takeout from here every other week and it still tastes incredibly fresh! A strong verity of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free dishes 🤍 My go to is the Pho Chay and Avocado Summer Rolls and my partner’s is the Shack Fries and Hallomi Sticks 🍲

The food was phenomenal, we had the crispy squid (amazing!!!), dumplings, pork belly, roast duck bún and the pho remix. All of them delicious. Great atmosphere, worth waiting for if there's a queue

This was our 2nd visit to the Viet Shack - it is such a great place to eat. If you are visiting Ancoats in Manchester and need food, then you must eat here. The menu includes many vegan options - all of which are gorgeous. The staff are friendly and helpful. A feature of the place is that you can't make a reservation. You can leave a mobile number and they will call you if there is a table free at the time you would like. Certainly visit if you are in the area and want to eat gorgeous food.

An absolutely fabulous restaurant. The food is amazing, big on flavour and quality. We ordered lots of the small plates and it was scrumptious. Would highly recommend the summer rolls. We arrived early evening and by the time we left there was a queue out the door so I would recommend booking in advance! One of the best places I have ever had the pleasure of visiting in Manchester. The drinks menu is also very good and a good selection of wines, beers, and mocktails.

Very fast and friendly service. The vegan pho was incredible, so much flavour! One of the best Phos I’ve had and I’ve had them in Vietnam! The avocado summer rolls were good, however, they were slightly cold and chewy. The summer rolls from Pho in the corn exchange are much nicer. Would definitely go back and recommend.

Our experience at Viet Shack was terrible. We were a group of six girls visiting Manchester for the first time for a bachelorette, and we were excited to try this restaurant, but it was a complete letdown. Maybe food in Manchester is generally expensive, but with the quality of food and drinks at Viet Shack, it felt like a complete rip-off. My beef bún (vermicelli) was extremely bland and certainly not worth the price. There were minimal vegetables in the bowl, and the “medium-rare soy garlic infused beef bavette steak” was not only overcooked (closer to medium) but also had no flavor at all. They provided a bottle of nước mắm (fish sauce), and even after using more than half the bottle, the dish still lacked flavor. I genuinely don’t understand how this place has such high reviews—maybe people here don’t know what good Vietnamese food tastes like? I ended up sending the dish back because it was that bad. To be honest, this place feels very “white-washed.” While it might be trying to do some sort of fusion, there was nothing authentic or truly Vietnamese about it. The only decent thing was maybe the pho, but even that was overpriced and not worth it. The Viet Shack fries were also disappointing. They lacked flavor, and we couldn’t even finish them. In fact, we ended up not finishing a lot of our food and drinks because they just weren’t good. The drinks, in particular, were overly sweet with no discernible alcohol taste. If you want to risk diabetes, then go ahead and drink up! As someone with type 2 diabetes, I found the drinks ridiculously sweet. I couldn’t finish mine and ended up giving it to a friend. One of my girlfriends ordered the Lychee Rose, and it took over half an hour to arrive. By the time it finally came, the rest of us were already halfway through our drinks. Service was equally poor. Once our food was served, no one checked on us or even seemed to care. I had to wave someone down to complain about my dish, and when I finally managed to get someone’s attention, I overheard the waitstaff talking about us because they were standing just three feet away. When it came time to pay, we had to flag someone down for the bill. The staff member who brought it over suddenly switched to a cheery demeanor, asking how we liked the food and service. We were honest and said, “It was not good. The service was nonexistent, and you weren’t welcoming or attentive until it was time to pay the bill and get a tip.” She had nothing to say to that. To add insult to injury, we ended up spending around 200 GBP on this experience, which is painful to even think about considering how bad it was. Especially if you were to convert that to our home-currency. The reviews for this place are highly inflated. If this is considered good Vietnamese food in Manchester, then you all are missing out on what it really should be.

I found this place via the Amex gold dining offers, we were very pleased when we saw the menu and the reviews. The lady at the reception was so nice kind as it was busy she took our name and number and suggested to go for a walk while the table was getting busy and ready. There was a canal in the area and such amazing vibe we received a call within minutes. The drinks were fresh and nice to try so no issues there but the food we ordered did not shine for the reputation, the crispy Oyester’s felt oily, the cauliflower needed more seasoning, the tofu salad had fresh elements but the Pho was too strong of cinnamon flavour. The service was good from the start although the drinks arrived late after the first dish.

Attended with my wife, been before and we do enjoy the food. On this occasion on arrival, the front of house completely ignored us. We stood at the front waiting to be seated for 10 minutes before he came to us with visibly free tables and told us it’ll be 20 minutes(basically telling us to leave).We said we would wait.2 parties of 3 arrived and were seated immediately while we were waiting. Then we were called 5 minutes later. The whole scenario was very bizarre and unnecessary and felt unwelcoming. Food here is always great btw but this experience put us off.

A guy came in took menu ordered take away and got his food in the time I was sat there. They serviced more than 10 food couriers while I sat there. They seem to just want to be high in the Uber league table an not interested in diners - left without a meal. Thanks - shocking service

A nice surprise as it was my first time trying Vietnamese 🇻🇳 The food and wine were fantastic, and the staff was nice. However, I was a bit disappointed with the timing of the courses. The starters arrived promptly, but before we could finish them, the first main course was served and then the rest of the mains. This slightly disrupted the flow of our meal. Overall we had a good experience and defo come back!

I’ve been here twice now for lunch and the real star isn’t the main dishes that you can get at a lot of other Vietnamese spots in Manchester for cheaper but rather the small plates. The summer rolls are great and this time I got the crab taco which was honestly amazing. It’s not very big but every part of the dish tasted fantastic. It’s a somewhat pricey spot especially if you are getting multiple small plates as I do but they do give 10% off to returning customers if you hold onto your receipts.

Ordered the loaded fries that I have ordered many times before for take away and received a tiny little box of fries with a few scrapings of meat for £18. This is a street food place, not an high end restaurant. It is now extremely overpriced. What a shame, I’m sure you’ve lost many loyal customers recently.

I went here with a couple friends for one of their birthdays. It was a great spot with some outdoor seating. Unfortunately because it was an awesome day that was all taken up, but the indoor atmosphere was very relaxed and enjoyable. The food was great. They had traditional and fusion options. I had some chips topped with Viet inspired toppings (pork belly and chicken with sauces and green onions), which were delicious! My friend got a salad and a noodle dish, which they both loved. We also all got one of the non-alcoholic cocktail specials for the day, also very tasty. Can highly recommend! Would happily go again.

We've been here many times and the food is always amazing. Shame the front of house doesn't match. Staff act like it's an effort to serve you, you constantly have to remind them to bring things you asked for 10 mins ago. We've been overcharged on more than one occasion. The worst was watching a waitress empty the bathroom bin, and then without washing her hands, take food straight off the pass to a table! Disgusting. Won't be back.

As we all know Vietshak is a Manchester success story, starting out in the arndale food court and graduating to their own fabulous restaurant. Easy to find on Great Ancoats st, make sure you come early because a queue forms quickly in the evening. We arrived about 6pm and the restaurant was already half full. We were greeted and seated, then it wasn’t long before the restaurant filled up. Service was quick and friendly. I ordered a spicy margarita, which although tasty only filled half the glass. Small quibble tbf. Food came quickly, we had the summer rolls to begin which were beautifully plated and tasted fantastic. Unfortunately I ate them too fast and did not get a photo. Apologies, I’m greedy Then came the mains, I had the lamb chops, which were really tasty and perfectly cooked. Nice and pink! We also shared the duck fries, which is one of my favourite dishes here. They were great, crispy duck, crispy fries and lots of toppings. Defo recommend! Didn’t go for desserts this time, I was so full after the mains. Love this place, would eat here everyday! I also recommend the Cow Burger which I always get at their Arndale location. Super fit

I ordered takeaway to pick up on Friday night - whoever was at front of house refused to acknowledge me, dealt with people in front of me and then just walked off and kept her head down at the desk when she came back while I was standing right in front of it.

We missed the call but arrived exactly 30 mins later to find our table waiting. The service was excellent and friendly. We were given a good amount of time to read the menu and make our choices. We ordered cocktails too. The food was hot, delicious and beautifully presented. After we chose another cocktail. The price was as expected and I feel it was money well spent. Only one downside was We were seated near an access door for staff which impacted on our enjoyment due to the draught and disturbance.

Upon arrival we did not have a reservation we were informed it will be about a 15-20 minute wait which , I do believe we waited less than that which was great . Whilst we waited we were handed the drink menu and food menu to look into , then we were sat . The place did feel slightly crowded it was a bit small . Food was nice good portion of food they do charge you a 10% service charge which I asked to remove simply because it felt like we were being chased out by the waiter . I understand that people were waiting to get a table , but we were never given a time to empty the table so to suddenly than have two people come rushing us so they can provide a table to the next person , I just didn’t like it . I didn’t even get to digest my food they were all in rush like I just find that rather annoying. When they presented the bill the waiter was standing over us ,I had to tell her to give us a minute so I can gather my purse like it just felt like we were pushed out . Yes people wish to have a table , but you don’t just rush customers sat at the table who didn’t get to properly digest their meal so I just didn’t feel it was worth paying the service charge

We’ve been living next door to this non-pretentious Vietnamese restaurant and finally got to try it. Naturally we had to go for Vietnam’s national dish, so ordered the Chicken Pho. This was delicious; a generous portion with a rich deep broth and juicy chicken pieces. We also had the beef salad and the beef was cooked a perfect medium rare. Because my wife and I shared the Pho, we were still feeling a little hungry so ordered the soft-shell crab taco from their starters menu and am very glad we did. It was delicious too (see photo)! Overall, a very satisfying meal, and if you go now you get a voucher for a 20% discount to use if you return again before 25th January, which is exactly what we’re going to do!

We began the meal with prawn spring roll as an appetizer that was delightful (missing a picture). However, the experience took a downturn with the main courses. The noodles in pho were undercooked (it was very hard), and the steak rice arrived somewhat cold. The restaurant wasn’t crowded at the time. Although I understand Vietshack is popular, perhaps its appeal is primarily due to its location in Ancoats. In my opinion, the food wasn’t even mediocre. It was below average. I don’t think I’ll ever return here.

Tasty food and vibrant presentation. Drinks were all good. We went without a booking and were seated pretty quickly. Service was great. Shack fries are a must try.

Brilliant staff, unbelievable food. Not one to miss if you're ever in Manchester. The starters and mains (we had no desserts) were cooked to perfection and tasted beautiful. Relaxing atmosphere and a lovely laid back evening treat. You will not be disappointed!

Hermosa comida fresca con sabores impresionantes 10 / 10. Precios muy razonables. La carne estaba tan tierna y me encantaron los rollitos de primavera.

We visited this cosy Vietnamese restaurant in Manchester last weekend and sampled their signature dishes plus fab drinks. We tried the following: 》Premium Pho with Beef, Chicken, Viet pork sausage & boiled egg 》BBQ Pork with rice and fresh veggies 》Summer Rolls with Prawn and Pork 》Spice me up Sling | Apple juice, Mint, Coriander, Lemonade, Chilli 》Lychee Virgin Hollis | Guava, Watermelon, Lychee, Lime The various meat (Beef, Chicken, Vietnamese pork sausage) and veggies on the Premium Pho really hit the spot plus the noodles weren't soggy at all. The charred Bbq pork was perfectly seasoned, complimented by the veggies on the side and the dipping sauce which cuts thru the oiliness of the dish. The freshness of the summer rolls with prawn and pork was quite lovely too. We had first dibs on 2 of their carefully concocted mocktails and they were mega - Please put them on the menu asap! We absolutely enjoyed these eye candies which had fresh, balanced flavours and so unique. They just relaunched March of this year and offers a vibrant mix of classic & innovative creations, do check them out.

Lovely service, great food, amazing gluten free range! We love coming to Pho because my wife has a wheat intolerance and everything with a few minor exceptions is gluten free so she can just pick what she pleases!
