Gaijin Dumpling House

Amazing place to eat, the best in Manchester for Asian/Chinese cuisine. Taste and recipe is fantastic and will definitely visit again. Customer service too is also of a high standard. Very cosy and relaxing atmosphere. This is a must visit spot if you are feeling a chinese cuisine and are in Manchester.

If you like your chicken dumplings medium rare. This is the perfect place for it 😍
Just like a good ol steak minus the food poisoning.
Not the 1st this has happened either. The chef’s timer must be broken 🤷🏽‍♂️.
Thought it would not happen again after being put off it for a while. Clearly not ☠️!
Never again.
If you love your stomach, then avoid at all cost. God knows how well the other food is cooked.

Very difficult to find authentic halal dumplings, but wow the dumplings here are so flavoursome and juicy. We had the bao buns and the prawn and chicken wontons, and the chicken dumplings. Beautiful definitely would come back again for them

I visited with my family and ordered the Steamed Chicken & Prawn Wonton for myself; it tasted great, and the meat had a nice spiciness to it. While unassuming on the outside, this place has a great atmosphere, and the decorations and art on display are a treat to look at. The service was great too, and it was overall a brilliant place to try some new cuisine.

Tried the fire cracker shrimp starter, the dynamite bao buns, katsu fries and the steamed chicken & prawn wontons. The bao buns were really soft, and the fire cracker shrimp was really tasty, would definitely recommend those. The staff was also really lovely and helpful with recommendations.

Vermilion

Highly Recommended! 😍🤩

Vermillion made my daughter’s Mehndi night truly unforgettable. The staff were extremely cooperative from day one. Jenny was very professional and organised everything beautifully. Trupti, who guided us throughout the event, was amazing.

The seating arrangement, venue, staff, food, and sound system — everything was perfect. Vermillion helped make the entire evening memorable, and all my guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Thank you to the entire Vermillion team you were wonderful !!

What a fantastic restaurant.
Love the atmosphere and decor of the venue, the staff are really friendly and professional and the food was stunning. Great portions and value especially given the quality.

I will 100% be returning.

We hosted our Dame Robina Shah Foundation (DRSF) launch event at Vermilion and they were exceptional from end to end. The whole team delivered service that was warm, professional, and seamless but a special shout-out must go to Yanisa, Asif and Mazur, who absolutely brought the event to life. Their attention to detail, calm execution, and genuine care for our guests were outstanding. They even supported us with a raffle prize, which was above and beyond.

The venue is stunning, the food was world-class, and the hospitality was frequently called out by our guests as one of the standout parts of the night. So many attendees commented on how organised, elegant and smooth everything felt from the room setup, timings and AV support, to how well the team looked after everyone throughout the evening.

Vermilion helped make the biggest event in our charity’s journey feel truly special. If you're looking for a place that combines atmosphere, quality, and a superstar team who actually care about your event’s success, I couldn’t recommend Vermilion highly enough. We’ll 100% be back!

Me and my wife came here for our one year wedding anniversary and we absolutely loved it. The restaurant feels like an experience from the moment you walk through the door.
The staff are extremely friendly and very accommodating. Thank you to those who helped make our anniversary feel special.
Definitely recommend this fantastic restaurant.

The food was dry especially the Biryani was kinda tasteless, the Karahi wasn’t a Karahi it was just a chicken curry albeit ok in my books. The drinks were good but the mango and coconut was a tad bit sugary but the Tiger milk was absolutely fantastic.

The service was amazing from the moment we came in until when we finished our food but it was then that it went downhill and we were ignored and forgotten. The couple next to us had their food brought swiftly and then their table was cleared immediately after they were done while ours was still cluttered more than an hour after we were done. No one cared to come and clear it away.

I asked for the bill but even that wasn’t brought until after I asked a second time 25 mins later. I strongly believe if we had walked out, no one would have noticed.

The prices were also very inflated especially the Karahi. Upon coming in we were asked if we wanted a glass of water which seemed like it was free until when the bill came and the first thing on it was a charge of £4 for what seems like a 500ML of water.

Simple, elegant restaurant for East Asian street food

Tampopo Albert Square

Tampopo Manchester is a real treat. The food is absolutely incredible and I am quite fond of the interior too. The restaurant itself is downstairs. They have a very nice vegan/vegetarian selection and the most incredible Churros. Tampopo is the reason I discovered my love for Churros and I am forever grateful for them. The staff here are fantastic and welcoming. My one complaint is the benches, if it’s a particularly busy day you may have to share seating with someone else but that is such a minor problem and the benches do add a real something to the atmosphere and feel of the place. Also has toilets

Food was to a good standard the tea was fantastic. All in all a great time. Food was on the pricy side but then I think that's down to location, ingredients was fresh and vibrant and the server mike was an absolute diamond.

Lovely little stop off

We shared some small plates as a midafternoon late lunch

We had:
Prawn crackers
Dumplings
Chicken satay
Duck pancakes
Pork belly
Kimchi cucumber salad

All lovely and complimented each other well plus is the perfect size to get for sharing between 2/3 people

Staff were great and accommodating scaly being during the Christmas market season!

Marie and Phoebe were fantastic hosts and made our Anniversary even more special. The food is top notch. Drinks were good. Will go again.

Ever so pleased I took a chance, it’s amazing. Exquisite food, good portions and extremely helpful staff.  Grateful I did and will certainly be back next time I am in Manchester.

We have Halal, vegan and meat options available.

Eat 2 Treat

I wish I would have read the negative reviews before I got some food from here. The display board said 1 chicken kebab wrap for £4 and 2 Kebab in it for £6. So i asked this young boy over the counter to give me just 2 kebabs as I did not want the wrap and how much would that cost? He took the 2 kebabs and packed them. I said I need them warm. He warned them, now this is the third now time I have said I want to take it out.  He then put it in a container. I asked to give me a Mango Rubicon. He charges me £7.5 now when I ask him to breakdown the order he says £6 for the kebab and £1.5 for the drink. I was like, but I said I don't want the wrap or salad, how is it the same price then? He bluntly ignores and speaks to the next customer. Now I say, you got to be joking, he says "I don't know". What does that even mean?
First of all selling drinks from a multipack which clearly says not to be sold as an individual pack (yes a lot of them do but charge no more than a quid) and then charges £1.5 for a can. Overly priced food, and beyond that his attitude that too for some tasteless expensive food. A big boooo

I tried a samosa pastry from this place a few months ago, and it was one of the worst meals I’ve ever had. Today, I decided to give them another chance and ordered just their fries since I was starving and they weren’t as busy as the other stalls. My god—beyond disappointing again. £3.50 for a small portion of fries that were soggy and dripping with oil. It’s appalling. The owners clearly have no regard for their customers and seem driven purely by greed. Never again.

Wow, 3 stars at the point of me leaving this review? Should be 1 if I may put it bluntly. £7 meal with almost no chicken in the biryani. Rice smelled off so diverted to the very small amount of salad provided as part of the meal. I highly recommend you steer away from this place. My usual go to is Viet Shack next door but of course I have this quite often I thought I’d try its neighbours. This place? No queue which should already be telling but then again, who would have guessed they’re allowed to serve such awful food quality in Arndale when the quality isn’t anywhere near comparable to Viet Shack and only for £2 extra! Really needed to write this review to warn others, I’m likely gonna be spending my weekend with my head in the toilet 🤢

Experienced unnecessary attitude from the guy as well when I said “no” to adding drinks 😂

Excellent pakoras and samosas at Eat 2 Treat, located inside Manchester Arndale Market. Can’t wait to try their Biriani next. Highly recommend it for those craving Pakistani street food (chaat, samosa, pakora …)

I absolutely love this little Asian street food stall in the Manchester Arndale Food Market. I've been coming to the street food market for a couple of years now. I love the vibrant atmosphere and the hustle and bustle of the market. Eat 2 Treat is the place I go to most,  usually visiting once a week at lunch time. Great customer service, really friendly staff, and just really good street food at a very reasonable price. Definitely worth a try if you like Asian street food.

Fuku Food MCR in Freight Island

Ordered food to Mala from here and was absolutely disappointed. Bao bun was rock solid, Tofu had more oil that actual tofu and the salad was just a few bits of string lettuce. I can understand it's being delivered to another place but for it costing £20+ the standard and quality was extremely poor. There's much better places in Manchester for Asian food, I definitely do not recommend this place.

Had a great experience on Friday. We’d stopped for a quiet bite to eat before heading to WHP. The member of staff that served me was absolutely lovely, asking questions about who was playing whilst we waited for our order to be ready. When i realised I’d forgotten to ask for the WHP discount, she refunded my order and charged me the discounted price. I was so grateful and it was so kind of her to do that, as I know she didn’t have to.

Food was amazing, really really tasty. I got the salt and pepper chicken and fries and it was great. The portion size was big too- I couldn’t even finish it!

Fantastic food and fantastic service!!!
Where should I start?
On arrival I was greeted by each staff member which made me feel very welcomed, I was unsure about which option to go for so the staff tailored what I like and opted for the Korean chicken with fries which was unreal the chicken was juicy and tender the sauce that the chicken was coated in was amazing perfect balance of spice and sweetness the chips were seasoned to perfection garnished with some spring onions.
Staff were very courteous to bring my food over to the table as I had prams and a few kids with me so accessibility is not an issue here, recommend 1 million percent,

Food was lovely and the staff were so accommodating with my allergies, thank you!

One of the best food spots in frieght I would say it's in my Top 3, the service is alway perfect Jen and Harvey my hats off to you both. I would highly recommend here as one of your food spots in frieght. *****

Grand Pacific

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Outstanding Evening at Grand Pacific

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Grand Pacific in Manchester. From the moment we arrived, the genuine warmth and hospitality made the evening feel really special. A huge thank you to Jake on the bar, who set the tone with exceptional service and a welcoming smile, and to Andrei, our server, whose attentiveness and professionalism truly elevated our visit.

The food was excellent—beautifully prepared, full of flavour, and presented with care. Combined with the cosy, festive atmosphere, it created the perfect backdrop for a memorable night out.

Grand Pacific continues to impress on every level. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be returning soon!

If you want to indulge yourself in a little opulence for food, service and atmosphere; then consider booking here.  If you want to brush shoulders with the likes of Winston Churchill, bask in the subdued lighting and feel like a lord and lady straight from Downton Abbey then frequent here for a candle lite evening to drown in classical violins playing popular tunes.  However,  be prepared for smaller portion sizes that allow you to manage the full three course spread.   All this quality though is reflected in the pricing.

The worst birthday experience I’ve ever had. I came here to celebrate my birthday. I was only ten minutes late and even called ahead, yet after arriving and being seated, I still waited another ten minutes. After ordering normally, the food took at least forty minutes to arrive. By the time the dishes finally came, there were only fifteen minutes left before the restaurant closed.

I originally wanted to take some photos in the beautiful seating area, but because the food came so late and we couldn’t finish, we were rushed over to the bar. Then, when they brought out the cake—which had been kept in the fridge—the decorations had been removed, and the writing was smudged and basically gone.

The food itself was also extremely average. The steak was dry and tough.

The most frustrating part was speaking with the manager multiple times. She kept saying “sorry,” but there was clearly no sincerity. He didn’t think the ruined cake was their fault and even said removing the plastic film was done “as a kindness,” but ruined is ruined. In the end, they tried to brush us off by waiving the cost of two drinks.

They completely ruined the birthday dinner I’d been looking forward to. I absolutely do not recommend coming here. It’s extremely loud inside—more like a nightclub than a restaurant.

Went here on a 50% off food offer. Food was excellent as was the service. Both my wife and I had 3 courses and couldn’t fault any of them. I was glad we had ordered a portion of fries to share as the accompaniments were perhaps a bit lacking. Should also have ordered some other veg to improve the veg to meat ratio.
Would I go back, probably not, as what would have been over £75 per person including 2 large glasses of wine and coffee seemed pricey.
I also didn’t like the fact that the discretionary tip was 12.5%, but I let it go as I don’t like to a fuss, but we’re not in America and 10% is more than sufficient.
It is in a beautiful building and it has been well furnished.

Great service, food was faultless and couldn't quite make it through the apple crumble. Love a good Sunday roast this was the best food and quality service we've had for years. Team super attentive checking in, extra drinks, cleaning the table. Building and decor stunning- you really couldn't have done anything better - was the son's 18th Birthday and we were so happy with the quality of food and service you made it really special (no one knew it was his Bday he doesn't like a fuss) but just wow thank you will be back soon- this was our first visit.

Pan Ajia

We visited a few weeks ago, early in the evening and the place was empty. I am not sure what tge theme of the menu is as I noticed that they even serve pasta/ gnocchi.  I tried the gnocchi as a starter. The gnocchi and bread were swimming in the cream but were tasty. Their main didn't make much sense either at it was served with noodles and rice and salad. I only enjoyed the salad. We were charged 10% service fee at the end and were asked in we would like to take our food with us (because I did not eat it) which is guess is a good thing l, if you enjoyed the food. Bottom line....there are so many better options around oldham. You can get better food at a take away.

Love my pulled lamb on sourdough. Presented beautifully and tasty.

And the French toast sweet treat was sooo good

I had a fantastic dinner at Pan Ajia in Oldham! The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were even better. Order was a Sirloin steak which came with great presentation served warm and not hot. was overcooked and pretty chewy rather cooked to perfection, was accompanied by a creamy sauce and fresh veggies which could be generous. The dessert, served in a skillet with ice cream and mint, was the perfect way to end the meal. The crispy spring rolls were a great starter with a flavorful dipping sauce.

Great food, lovely atmosphere, and excellent service—definitely worth a visit!

We went on Saturday to try their new brunch menu. We were shown to our table we waited then I had to eventually ask myself for a menu. We placed the order quickly asked for drinks first as it was a hot day. They took a while to come. My iced lattes had so much syrup i was about to vomit. They replaced this. The food too AGES to come even though they were plenty of empty tables.
Every time I had to seek waiter to ask how long the answer every time was 20 mins. Eventually our food came but in parts. I had to remind them about 4th dish which my daughter had to watch us eat whilst she waited. Food was underwhelming I had to send pancakes back as they were so dry they put cream and maple syrup as requested to make it more edible. We just ate as quick as possible and left. The cheek to charge 10% service charge. I paid as I just wanted to get out. Never again

Starters were nice,the chops were tasty,spring rolls were ok mushroom gnocchi was good,mains were a bit disappointing,lamb shank was on the tough side,served with gravy that tasted pretty much like bisto,the beef donburi was ok,a bit on the sweet side,portion sizes were generous,the spicy chicken donburi was very nice
Mocktails were again hit and miss,not worth the money,better of with a fizzy drink
Overall it was ok,a bit overpriced,I would honestly say for the amount we spent there are better places out there that serve better food.

Sunset by Australasia

We decided to have afternoon tea here as it looked different to your traditional options. We were not disappointed and it was absolutely divine! Excellent food and value for money wise it was great. Absolutely no complaints. All the staff were friendly and our waiter was very attentive and kept us topped up which we appreciated 🙂. The setting is beautiful and you feel like you are somewhere very special. Will definitely revisit.

The restaurant and setting is pretty for pictures. Food was just alright. Price for food? I'm pretty sure you can get better options if you're looking for exquisite food and better service with this price. We found a blue string/plastic on one of the dessert. Horrified. Maybe would come back for a drink just for the decorations ONLY but never again for food. :/ Staff was rude.

Used a gift voucher I had received for my birthday at weekend for afternoon tea. Went with my sister and was really looking forward to it. We don’t venture into Manchester much so wanted to have an early booking so booked for 12pm. Arrived and got to choose first table as only people there, sat down and once not from a far we became quite unimpressed with the standard of the restaurant. This is definitely somewhere made for “instagram” but in reality, the seats are stained and dirty, covered by blankets which weren’t much better. The cushions were the same. The table was sticky. The drinks menu was sticky and stuck together. It was £4.20 for a Diet Pepsi?! And because my sister didn’t want a normal tea from the bundle she had to pay £2.50 extra just for a flat white coffee. Drinks came and the waiter managed to spill the Pepsi over himself so had to replace it. Jug of tap water on table and the jug was all stained. Grateful they swapped out fish items to suit our allergies when I asked. Then savoury food came, nothing to rave about and definitely not filling. Sweet food came, and the items on the round circle shelves were vile. The other bits in the bottom tray were okay. Then I asked for another Diet Pepsi and he forgot about us for a good 45 mins, even though at this point there was only 3 tables with people on them. So when he remembered he brought us both a Diet Pepsi on the house. Asked for the bill and my voucher was taken off for the afternoon tea (£45) but the 2 diet Pepsis and a flat white ended up costing £16 something because they threw in a non optional service charge of approx £6.80 or something? Anyway by this point we was ready to leave, again waited nearly 20mins for him to come back with a card machine so ended up walking to bar to pay so we could leave. Wouldn’t go back. Wouldn’t recommend the afternoon tea.

Brilliant cocktails with exotic flavours!

Perfect place to celebrate special occasions, graduations and birthdays. A popular spot for a hen do. Welcoming to large groups.

Gorgeous and elegant outdoor seating area, nicely decorated with flowers and pretty greenery. Great for photo lovers. Located within walking distance of the city centre.

Snack food portions. Vegan and vegetarian options are available.
