We visited Hello Oriental last night for dinner. The overall experience was okay, but a few things stood out — both good and not-so-great.

The Korean HOT Chicken Wings were spicy and sweet. Personally, I found the combination just average, but if you enjoy that sweet heat, you might like them more.

I ordered the Beef Ho Fun noodles — they were decent, not spicy at all, which I think could have been improved with a bit of kick or more flavour depth.

My wife had the Stir Fried Udon with Chicken. She thought it was just okay, but the udon noodles were too thick for her taste and quite heavy.

The drinks were a bit of a mixed bag — the Lucky Buddha beer was fine, but pricey at £6.50 for a pint. However, the Strawberry Fruit Tea was a lovely surprise — refreshing and full of flavour. Definitely the highlight of the drinks we tried.

The vibe of the place is lively and modern, but for the price (£46.50 for two mains, sides, and drinks), we expected a little more in terms of flavour and variety.

Would we go back? Maybe — mainly for drinks or to try something different from the menu.

Food was flavourful, we really liked the Xiaolongbaos and that it can be ordered as a mixture. We loved the mixture of veg, chicken, pork and beef baos. However, there were only 6 pieces of crispy pork on our rice dish, which was a little disappointing!

Food was great again.

We went to the Oxford Road location yesterday and the food was soooo good, whilst walking around Trafford Centre, it was a no brainer.

Compliments to the Chef - Ange, who we recognised from yesterday and the food was on the same level of quality.

The service and atmosphere was chilled and relaxed, with the scannable QR codes, meaning that there was no pressure of how quickly to order, so we could browse through the menu at pleasure.

Eddie was attentive, checking in every so often, but not badgering me whilst i had a mouth full of food, like what happens often at other places.

Overall, I think this will be our new go to date spot. The staff are warm and welcoming, the portions are reasonable for the price and the taste and quality hits the spot.

Thanks for having us, I’m sure we’ll see you again soon.

Simple and enjoyable experience. We picked this place after checking out the menu, which had a great variety. There was no wait for a table, and the staff were accommodating, even with our large pram and newborn. We ordered a mix of dim sum and main dishes — everything was flavorful and felt genuinely authentic. Prices were very fair, and we’d happily come back again
