Viet Shack Restaurant

Had a lovely dinner here with my housemates! I had the pho chay and it was delicious- beautifully seasoned and a very large portion size. I also had a virgin cherry mojito which was pleasant but quite bitter. The bao bun dessert looked better than it tasted but was still decent. The service was good and the food came out quickly,  but the waitress who took our order seemed new- she was still lovely. Overall we had a nice evening and we will be returning!

Used to frequent Viet Shack a lot when I lived in town and this was my first visit back in a couple of years... the food has got even better! The crispy duck & rice dish was superb. Looking forward to returning again soon.

First place I’ve been to where none of the food disappointed! Such lovely balance and surprises of flavours without the food feeling too much or heavy. Service was so warm and welcoming. So glad I came here to end the night!!

Wonderful food and lovely service. Pork belly rice and virgin cherry mojito are fantastic. Will be back. Thank you!

Arrived around 5:50 pm on a Saturday evening — busy enough with most tables filled, but still comfortable. We sat down and ordered a Pho and Summer Rolls. Barely five minutes later, our food was on the table.

Having tried a lot of decent Vietnamese spots around Manchester since Viet Shack moved from the Arndale, I hadn’t visited this location until now. I have to say, it’s very impressive — the Pho was full of rich, aromatic flavours, and the Summer Rolls were fresh and beautifully presented.

Service was friendly and efficient despite the busy atmosphere, making the whole experience even better. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Ancoats and craving authentic Vietnamese food.
