Very disappointing recently. Used to be a regular but the standard of service and quality of food has been slowly getting worse. After the last visit one of our party was given a meat dish, after checking that it was the veggie option he had ordered, and being told it was, he tucked in.....to a chicken rogan josh! This was the final straw for me!

I had the 2nd Set menu here, the starters were very nice and the seafood salad was very spicy and very nice, though I found the main courses were more akin to Chinese cuisine than thai, also the Beef Green Curry was extremely salty.

I started going to Happy Seasons in 1983! I know it is the best because I love my food and travel a long way to get there. I not only eat in but more often than not get a takeout. Everyone knows you can get your £4.50 sweet and sour chicken and rice extra from any chinese takeaway but the quality at HS is second to none. Please don't just believe what I say, try it and you won't go anywhere else..

This restaurant works. It is clinical the staff are welcoming and the pizzas are loaded. I had the Asian Chicken Pizza and it was the best i have had in any pizza restaurant. Nice little bar next door as well. Keep up the good work.

We went to the Angel on Saturday 20th December. The pub hasn't changed much inside since the beer house days, and neither has the quality of the beer, both excellent. There was six in our group and we tried a variety of dishes. The salmon was fantastic, well cooked and fresh, the beef was succulent, chips are moreish, dessert are a triumph - we tried the Lemon tart and this was refreshing and light. We will definitely be returning. You really should try this place, is a true Mancunian establishment with excellent food, good beer and a reasonable wine list. Huzzah

Akbars was very good a while back, but recently the food is average. Hardly any dish's taste different. It is cheap though if your on a budget. It's very busy due to high numbers of asians who go there as they like value for money rather than quality

Went for the first time this week after trying numerous times. I shouldn't have bothered. I fail to see how people can say this is the best in Manchester, as it is far from that. We ordered eight tapas dish's between two of us and from that, one dish was ok (chicken with paprika). I ordered a mushroom dish with cheese that came as mushroom in a tomato sauce, as the waitress obviously misheard me say 38! That was ok but at 4.75 I would have expected more than 3 button mushrooms, absolute ripoff. Very average food, hardly any taste and we both found it bland Anyway the bill came to Fifty one pounds (inc 4 bottles perroni) and we both left still feeling peckish. Can't believe so many people rave about the place. But it has got a good atmosphere.

This is our preferred restaurant above all in China Town. Service is always superb, food is excellent and always hot. Now going into our second year of eating there for evenings out or a snack during the daytime. Excellent prices and a huge menu to choose from. Go here if you want quick friendly service in a very quiet surrounding.

Tried Dough Yesterday evening after just moving to the area. This is a no brainer alternative to the pizza hut and pizza express chains, the food is far superior and the DOUGH is home made on the premises... you can taste the difference. Had the Xmas pizza! very festive very filling very tasty and i got a starter and a mince pie and coffee for £11! excellent value. Staff were really friendly and definitely an experience I will be doing again and recommending others do!

I'm no foodie but I know what I like. I was hungry and was out with three foodies. I've had a nice in Japanese meal in Manchester and Wilmslow before but all for of us agreed that this was the best authentic Japanese meal in the city. The service was helpful without being intrusive and the sushi platter was enjoyed so much that we ordered another straight after the first. Fresh, tasty and well presented. As is the style these days the kitchen was open and the cooked meat dishes were enjoyed by all. Bottled Asahi and Sapporo suited our taste and the manager had gone to great lengths to ensure that the food was at the top of the agenda. The menu was extensive too without breaking the bank in this credit crunch era. We'll be back and get a green tea in :-)

I went to this restaurant on Saturday night with friends…it was packed out and we had to wait in line to be seated for about 15 minuets but as they were so busy we didn’t mind waiting, when we finally got seen to our table had been taken so we were left hanging around the bar area for a while for them to find us a table and after about 10 minutes a nice apologetic guy found us one down stairs which was quieter and better for us, the waiters and staff were very friendly and efficient and everything was going well until I decided to pay the ladies a visit and I have never been so disgusted in all my life, the sanitary bin in the ladies was actually overflowing with dirty sanitary towels and even stained tissue, I have been to festivals and the toilets have been nicer than and I think it is absolutely not acceptable. I did report this to a member of staff that did seem concerned and apologized and said he would sort it out, it has really put me off visiting La Tasca’s now and seen as we traveled 60 miles round trip to visit this restaurant I am very disappointed!!!!

We went here on Saturday night before going to the theatre and all i can say is that the service was terrible and it ruined my evening, all we wanted was a nice meal before we saw the show and what we got was the rudest of staff and terrible service, we wanted a nice relaxed 3 course meal but as the service was so bad we just ate a pizza and went - i will never go back !

Terrible!! We were in Manchester Christmas shopping and wanted a nice meal to cap off the day. Upon arrival everything seemed very promising, good atmosphere, nice place. We had an 8.30 booking and showed up early. We were seated straight away and had a lovely table in the window. Wine and starters arrived very quickly and were quite tasty. I had ordered the lamb shank for my main course and it arrived shortly after our starters were taken away. It was stone cold inside, so we sent it back. I was sent another one which was also cold.....someone cannot work the microwave! Anyway - I didn't want a third. I then waited 30mins for a portion of lasagna and by this point my partner had completely finished! A second bottle of wine came by way of an apology (nobody actually said "sorry"). It's a good job we were in high spirits because we did see the funny side! I decided to order a pudding to finish off this "delightful" meal, so went for Pannacotta......it was still frozen inside!!! Nobody cooks in this restaurant...I will say no more.....

I ate here yesterday evening and was very impressed. The sushi was the freshest I've tasted and the main noodle meal I had was the nicest I've had for a long time.

This was my third time at this restaurant in the past six months. I have been once for afternoon meal, once in the evening with partner and friend and once for Christmas. The food was ok the first time but they sat 6 of us in a booth clearly designed for 4 people so things were a little cosy to say the least. I do like this type of food (Quality Steak, Fish etc) and despite the first time I went with a friend for an early evening meal, which was ok. The food is just ok, nothing special and not a patch on Gaucho’s in Manchester. If you are going out for a good steak my advice is to go to Gaucho the service is better and the food quality is far superior. The thing that irritated us was they tried to put six guys in a booth that would not fit four of us comfortably. We immediately moved to a round table and told the girl serving us we could not stay there, as it was not comfortable. She said we would have to move but after telling her to get the manager to move us she seemed to leave it at that. The main gripe was the place charges at the top end of the scale but the food you get does not reflect the cost. As an example the advertise Chicken/beef skewers as a starter and they charge £5.95/£6.95 for these and they deliver ONE skewer for the price!!! We were disgusted at this as we thought Skewers meant plural not singular!! Summary: The venue is nice, layout and design is good and it is very busy. The food and service let the place down, it is expensive (For what you get) and the girl that served us was embarrassed by the lack of volume in the food. I would say to anyone considering going DO NOT BOTHER! Go to Gaucho’s in Manchester instead as its better value for money and they have more choice and the people serving you are not robots! I could say a lot more but I think over priced, poor value & terrible service/attitude just about covers it!

Food good, staff absolutely dreadful. In particular the Manager and owners. That is basically all you need to know. We had a special offer deal, 2 for 1, and after the manager was incredibly rude to us, we ended up being dragged into the managers office to show him the offer on the website. I couldn't believe it! Would never ever consider going back.

we went here for a pre theatre meal, we have never eaten this cuisine before and were really looking forward to it, even though we didn't have a clue what to order but this is all part of trying new food isn't it..... The restaurant has nice decor, great friendly staff, but i just thought the food was a bit basic and even boring, very bland and uninteresting even though the menu sounds great when reading it. I sampled 4 meals from other member of our party and still wasn't over impressed. The food was cooked ok, just lacked taste & flavour, Everything seemed to come with rice ( tasteless ) and salad ( separate piles of grated carrot, shredded red cabbage and a single lettuce leaf ) Maybe this is similar to other turkish restaurant i am not sure but i wont be rushing back to this or any other turkish restaurant.
