Reviews in Manchester City Centre

recommend this place you must be mad. It's chav and vile. Would'nt be caught dead in there a second time. A girl could get a bad name being seen in there. I'm just insulted the door staff let me in they clearly mistook me for an coke fan that would welcome the advances sleezey men for whom a song comes mind. The great prentender. The food was ok. A lot of a certain type of person in here and it's not footballers and celebs.

I have visited Sweet Mandarin many times and the food is delicious and the service friendly and efficient. I brought some friends from London to the restaurant and had a brilliant time. I've just bought their book too and can't wait to read it. If you've not tried Sweet Mandarin you must! Also northern quarter is a great spot now - buzzing and cool.

Absolutely superb food, the entire meal was delicious but the amuse bouche of a mini bakewell tart was to die for. I can't stop thinking about it neither can my dining partner. The atmosphere was fabulous, the staff were equally fabulous. The view of Exchange Square made it all the more spectacular. I will definitely dine here again and recommend it to my friends.

My boyfriend and I ate here yesterday, and having arrived at 6.15pm we were too late for the tapas offer of 3 for £10. We ordered around 8 dishes altogether including bread, a beer, and glass of wine (which was fantastic), and our bill was £57. Pricey, but well worth it. You will pay 25-30% more than in La Tasca, but it is worth every penny. Fab food, nice service, great experience.

We were recommended Sweet Mandarin by many work colleagues and decided to go try the restaurant. I decided to try their new cocktail Mandarin Jazz and i wasn't disappointed. The food was tasty and plentiful. I certainly was impressed with the service and food. I will be recommending Sweet Mandarin to many more work colleagues.

I was there last night with my fiance and we had a lovely time , the staff were very professional and the food was FANTASTIC. I had a chicken and pinenut pasta for my starter which was a bit rich but neither the less lovely . I would highly recommend the florentina pizza and the peppered fillet steak both of which are a good choice . We finished our meal with lemoncello which was served ice cold and very refreshing. I would urge anyone to try this great city centre restaurant .

Fantastic restaurant! Food is really yummy with some really authentic Malay dishes that I haven't seen in other Malay restaurants in the UK. There are always specials along with the main menu. Loads of options for veggies and all reasonably priced compared to elsewhere in the city. Restaurant also has full disabled access. Service is great, friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Nice touches such as the waiting staff ask if you're ready for your next course. The owners are usually around and always take the time to talk to you/ask if you've enjoyed your meal. Decor is beautiful and modern but not pretentious. This restaurant is great for any event, whether it be a romantic meal for 2 or a group night out. It's the only restaurant in Manchester that has ever inspired me to write a review!

We used to go to Happy Season. But since we discover Fus Chinese Restaurant, we never look back. The innovative interior design is a refreshing change to your typical Chinatown restaurant. Bright and airy with relax atmosphere. I would recommend the Fus Chinese Restaurant in china town any day. Me and my girlfriend go there about 3 times a month, the Chinese style roast duck and char sui are the best in Chinatown, try it and see. The price is excellent. Very friendly staff. Good service. Excellent quality of food. Definitely would recommend friends for a sooner visit! Thanks

Whenever we're in Manchester, we always head to San Carlos, as the food is great, the service is fast, the restaurant is clean and beautifully decorated and the prices are very reasonable. Great restaurant in a central location!

This restaurant is fabulous! The waiters could not do enough for you and the restaurant itself has a nice relaxed ambience. The best portebello mushrooms I have tasted, we thought the steak was a little overcooked for our taste, but when we mentioned this to the waitress the manager came straight over and offered to replace them. All in all we were very impressed and will definitely be going again.

Understated sophistication!

The food was excellent, as was the service. All of my friends agreed that Ning was top notch and I'm sure many of us will return in the future.

Very friendly staff. Good service. Excellent quality of food. Definitely would recommend friends for a sooner visit! Thanks

The burgers are gorgeous but on the pricey side at £7+ for most burgers. I've only ever had the blue cheese burger when I've been to GBK and it's delicious. My husband had the pestarella which was okay but not as good as the blue cheese. I guess my only real gripe about the place is that the fries are £2.65. For a small portion of obviously frozen, pre-processed chips that you could get in any fast food place it's extortionate and lets the meal down. They'd be better off doing real chips or potato wedges. For 2 burgers, 2 portions of fries and 2 cokes the bill came to £26 which isn't particularly good value in relation to the quality of what's on offer.

Food was excellent. Watch the bill though as they automatically added a 10% service charge to the bill and then asked for a tip to go on the credit card as the service charge was not for the staff! Very naughty and a disappointment to the end of the meal. They would have got more in a tip if they hadn't automatically added the service charge for just 2 people.

Ive visited this restaurant on several occasions. and everytime the food & service has been both excellent! on the whole this place is value for money and that's the reason why i keep going back and and telling more people about it!

The food and service are very good. Friendly staff.

Absolutely no quibble about the wines...excellent selection and we loved the bottle of red we ordered. But the food...well a different story. Very bland; the roast veg tapas was more steamed leading to rubbery aubergine...ugh! And the manchego...no taste, very bland...where did they get it? Previous week we ate at El Rincon....wonderful food, much better than here which seemed to lack Spanish authenticity in taste.
