Oodles N’Oodles Restaurant Manchester

I visited this restaurant this weekend and I have to say I was disappointed.  I have been here before and loved it.  I would normally give them at least 4 stars maybe even 5. This time I have had to reduce to 3 as I feel they need this feedback.   First and foremost when we walked in and waited for a table, the gentlemen who asked us to sit down, didn't so very politely.   I don't think he was meaning to be rude. It's probably his language  barrier.  However, I think  with adequate training,  he should understand how to address people more politely.   After that another person came and took us to our table.  Whilst ordering, I asked him if there is any drinks that are sugar free and he replied ' everything has sugar'. I was disappointed to learn that there isn't 1 drink in the whole restaurant made without added sugar.  Even  though the menu said ' fresh juice'. I enquired about these and he said the same thing. Secondly,  I have had the noodles lots of time and they are really mouth-watering delicious.   I thought I would try the fish and chips.  Bad choice.   The fish was basic and the chips tasted stale. The mushy peas were not nice either and the coleslaw was very sweet. The water who served us was also not very attentive.  He forgot about my water which was not served till all the starters were finished.   They were spicy and I needed a drink.  I have to say though that the starters were lovely.   We had the chicken mince dumplings, the chicken rolls and the chicken wings.  All delicious,  good portions and served with condiments that complimented each dish really well.  I do hope you can sort out your service, drinks and fish and chips main.

The food at this restaurant is genuinely delicious – the kitchen delivers high-quality dishes. Unfortunately, the wait time is far too long. During my visit, one customer left after 25 minutes without receiving their meal. It’s clear that the owner isn’t paying enough attention to the place, which affects the overall quality of service. The restaurant urgently needs an experienced floor manager to bring order. The cleanliness of the restrooms is also disappointing.

It was repeat visit with family after one year but got disappointed more this time. I wish if there was option to give zero stars. Now this restaurant is out of our list forever. Utmost slow motion of staff due lack of staff. After starters were served, slowly slowly rice was served with Manchurian and magnolia beef. But no spoons were served for serving. After some time spoons were served. Beef was chewy , Manchurian was tasteless with full chilles. Asked for drinks because too much spicy. It took 10 minutes to bring soft drinks and terribly they were at room temperature with ice served on glass. What a disaster that soft drinks are warm in 32 c. Anyways half food were served. We were waiting for more food but no way. After we finished they said more food is coming. I asked them to pack because family and guests from USA have finished. Anyways, it was not a good experience. Totally failed. Guests from abroad unhappy, we embarrassed.... I wish owner had interest in his restaurant, seems no interest. We love Chinese food but this restaurant has put off.

This isn't just a plate of noodles; it's a dish crafted with passion and skill. It's clear that the chef puts immense care into every component. Please pass on my sincere thanks and highest compliments to the culinary team. This dish alone is reason enough to recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly.

Visited with my son as a distraction from a hospital visit and was very pleasantly surprised with the amazing flavours of the items we ordered. We will definitely order more frequently when in Manchester. Staff were very friendly and accomodating and food was absolutely on point.

We ordered the Manchow soup, Crispy Beef Bau Buns, Chicken and Prawn Hakka noodles, Chicken Chow mein, Bubblegum Mojito, Strawberry Mojito and j2o.

The toilets were very clean and decor was lovely throughout the restaurant. Seating was plentiful and we had a pick of where to be seated. Food was served in good time and tasted amazing. It is child friendly and very clean. Rare to find nice halal chinese places so happy to find this gem of a place!
