The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Chinese food

Went with a friend and ex-colleague. Was bitterly disappointed from the minute we walked in being frowned at for not booking in advance (we went at 630 to avoid any busy times for that exact reason) We were reluctantly given a table as long as we left after an hour. Very welcoming, not! My colleague and I are both vegetarian. We asked about the vege and vegan food options and were told to check that section on the menu. It was all very confusing so we asked again. The waiter either didn't understand us or did not want to, he just kept saying it was OK. Eventually we realised the chicken on the vege menu was mock chicken but then we discovered that it's pretty much all cooked together. Our non vegetarian friend had a chicken soup and I asked about the vegan version which I was told was the same soup without the chicken. They could neither confirm nor deny that the soup simply didn't have chicken in it or if it was separate altogether. We then asked about some other vege dishes and I alerted them to the fact that I'm allergic to shell fish so there must not be any cross contamination. They then said they couldn't guarantee that. So they couldn't guarantee the vege meals were vege or not prepared with or alongside meat, fish or shellfish, and they couldn't promise the allergy needs would be met. We decided to not order anything. Our non-vege friend and her friend did. The waiting staff were impossible to engage and it really wasnt busy. When they did come, they were fairly abrupt. She said her food was nice but the portion sizes were tiny and it cost her £45 for a shared starter, one main and a glass of wine, plus service which she said didn't improve. To make things worse the owner seemed to treat others coming in very differently. We left her and her friend to it but they were really disappointed, as were we. FYI We went down the road to Baw instead, and had a beautiful and filling meal for half the price, served with a smile and full recipe disclosure!

I love their food. It taste so good. They're very polite too. Keep it up

I order from here regular but this is the third time I’ve received frozen chips which is really disgusting. Sadly I won’t be ordering from here again which is a shame because everything else is nice. Just wished you cooked the chips properly.

Very Friendly food is always very gd xx

Servicio rápido, comida sabrosa, buena experiencia. No hay necesidad de ir a Chinatown para conseguir sabrosa comida china. Servicio al cliente educado.

I went yesterday for lunch. Nothing for pescetarians or vegetarians or vegans. All chicken, and some pork (ribs) and beef. No working chocolate fountain. No drink refills. No lots of choices, no lots of desserts and fruits. I honestly don't think it's worth the price. A little disappointed, I expected more. There are certainly many better buffets with more choices.

I left a note saying I would like to swap sweet and sour sauce for curry sauce and they didn't do it. chips were cold when ordering arrived.

Saboor is the best employee here, excellent job!!

It’s always busy every time i visits this place, obviously it’s tasty and worth it

Best Chinese food I’ve ever eaten will definitely be back

Rather expensive for some rice and a bit of meat. Even if it was tasty meat.

Very warm welcome, right in Chinatown, top service, very kind owner, good food, go there, it's a special moment

took just under 2hrs from order time to being delivered

Still the best chinese in Manchester. Classic dishes. Top quality fresh cooking. Authentic service. Beautiful family business!
