Reviews in Manchester City Centre

Absolutely outstanding place. Atmosphere in the bar is great, food was amazing and staff so genuinely friendly. Am hungry even thinking about the menu!! Will definitely be returning.

Lovely place with very attentive staff. Food very well presented and very fast service. Highly recommended

This place is a real find. The kitchen team obviously take great care in preparing the dishes as they arrive at the table looking too good to eat. I really can't praise this place enough, the food is fantastic, different and reasonably priced. The restaurant itself is well designed and free of kids and has some of the best staff in Manchester. I will definitely be a regular visitor and will be holding my birthday party in the private dining room.

Ate there Sunday 6pm after several recommendations. Thought it was brilliant! Great service, atmosphere, had roast beef yorkshire pud etc, lovely fresh veg - very reasonably priced. So impressed I went with a friend for lunch a few days later - again the same friendly welcome - lovely food and very reasonable prices. So much to choose from on the menu, really helpful staff. Great place to eat in town!

This is one of my favourite places to eat. The choice of starters is brilliant, and meat eaters will be in heaven! The chargrilled fish is fabulous , and the veggie moussaka is an old favourite (a couple more veggie items wouldn't come amiss!). For those who aren't sure - try the pre-theatre menu for £10.50 - brilliant value for money. Nice wine selection too.

Absolutely tremendous. I went, following the rave reviews, and wasn't disappointed. Portion sizes and presentation is superb, good atmosphere in the restaurant as well. Great veggie selection too. Only annoyance is you can't book for less than 10 people - by 6:30 on Saturday the place was nearly full, so you face a very long wait if you turn up after this time, which would put me off if I didn't want to eat early.

I have been twice now - once for my birthday with 10 people. The food is amazing, if hot (if you're not a spicy fan ask for it mild!!), portions perfect, excellent choice esp. for veggies. The service is superb, and they really surpassed themselves on my birthday - cake, candles, photos... in short, a great place for both a celebration and a dinner for two.

I've been here a few times with friends, and everyone has always been impressed by the food - and these are people who generally don't eat Chinese as they are tired of the usual fare on offer! When I last went there were two menus - I like to think of them as the 'Western' and 'Real' Chinese menus! There are some interesting veggie dishes and some definitely unusual meat dishes. Portions are very generous, the food isn't gloopy and it's very cheap for what you get. Definitely recommended if you like Chinese or if you have got sick of the usual offerings!

Simply the best

I see my mates have beaten me to it Pat,Carolyn and myself eat at the Buffet City on a regular basis, we decided to write a recommendation after using this site for information on eating out. To us Buffet City is the bee's knee's for good food friendly service and great value for your money. You will not be disappointed.

i went with a veggie mate and both of us were delighted with the food & service brill choice and so so cheap luv it AAAA+++++

Peking Court is somewhere I have not been for years. I used to go religiously every week until the office moved to Salford Quays. Have started going for their buffet at night and I must say it has reignited my love for the place. The Aromatic Crispy Duck is certainly amongst the best I have tried, really tasty and the best thing is you can have as much as you like. Also loving the toffee banana and ice cream, can't beat it. The place looks cleaner and brighter than it used to. All for the better I say. Will be going back every week as really do not like Oriental Buffet or some of the other ones my friends frequent.

Fantastic place to eat excellent food and service, only time i would say not to go is if you want a romantic meal, as it is always so busy that you cant expect it to be quiet but great value *****

I would move to Manchester, just to eat here, what a place totally fab all round, thanks alot Buffet City

A friend introduce me to Buffet City and i in turn have introduced my friends. The staff are excellent you never see them idle, the variety and quality of the food is exceptional whether you go in at a busy lunchtime late afternoon or evening always the same outstanding value for money. Would recommend to all.

Went here for lunch and have to agree with the other reviews that the quality of the food is outstanding. Having just returned from a holiday in Thailand I was prepared for the food being not quite as good but this was not the case at all. The prices are just good at just £4.50 for a big plate of food, free prawn crackers and £1.20 for a soft drink. Highly recommended!

We went to Chaophraya on New Year's eve and had a gorgeous meal with some friends. The food was fresh and authentic but still modern. The restaurant and bar are both decorated beautifully in Thai style and have a great ambience. We will definitely be going back.

Don't go to Wagamamas, go here! The food is much fresher and tastier and the menu reflects all of SE Asia. Tampopos has a nice relaxed feel and unlike at Wagamamas you can order in courses so you can make more of an evening of it.
