Reviews in Manchester

Positives - good atmosphere, tasty starters negatives - the worlds most uncomfortable chairs, warmed-up veggies

We've been three times this year and the service and food has been very good. The last time however (Fri 22 Feb) the service was slow and the food had been sat under a grill for some time before we received it, causing my gravy on bangers and mash to turn to a jam like consistancy. My girlfriends salmon had been burnt and dried by the grill. I think and hope this was a one off bad chef night as we will definitely return again in the future

I retired from my NHS job yesterday, and booked for 10 friends/colleagues to share a meal at Gio's last night. We were seated in the window facing the Midland, and it was tricky for half of us not to be able to leave the table without making everyone on our side stand up, but what a great vantage point from which to watch the world blow by in the noisy gale beating up the world outside. The food was good, and reasonably priced, but the best things about this restaurant were the attentive but not intrusive staff, efficient service and lively ambience. It was so central for all our buses and trams home. I look forward to going again with my family, and I hope it will be soon. Thank you for your good humour, and for giving us the perfect place for my send-off. Jenny Daniel

We had our Christmas meal here and the food was wonderful. parking is a bit of a pain, but that's soon forgotten as the restaurant is very small but cosy and the staff are very helpful. price was good and quality of the meal was great, i loved the menu and i would definitely go back again for another special occasion.

A wonderful homely restaurant with a really warm and welcoming atmosphere. The new owner, Sammy, makes a great effort to ensure that the customer is entirely happy and encourages all the staff to do the same, recommending particular dishes that you might like to try. We particularly enjoy the new lunch time menu. The Fegatini di Pollo as a starter and the Spiedini as a main course are particularly good

Incredible, amazing, brilliant, beautiful, friendly, tasty, words do not do this place justice! Cannot recommend it strongly enough!

Don't bother going anywhere else in town. This place never disappoints. The best!

The food here is terrible, as is the live music, do not go to this place if you like food, drink and live music!!

Our favourite restaurant. The service is fantastic and friendly. The food is lovely everytime we go with a wide choice on the menu. As long as you book in advance you can always get a table.

We had a great meal at Asian Fusion on 23rd Feb.I followed other reader recommendations and was not disappointed.The service was excellent as was the meal- in great surroundings.We will definitely return and I have told all my friends !

i love barburrito, and was really pleased that this chain opened up another store in the trafford centre. this place consistently serves fresh, vibrant, healthy Mexican fast food at unbelievable value. First timers cannot go far wrong with a shredded beef burrito, black beans, lime rice and salsa verde. This does me just fine every time i visit (which is about twice a week). At five pounds for a meal and a drink you cannot go far wrong here! The only slight grumble would be the limited selection of drinks (the usual soft drinks, beer and margaritas) - but I guess this is a fast food restaurant - and i don't know many fast food gaffs selling beer. Manchester deserved more places like this.

The food was great, once we'd been seated, but the service left a LOT to be desired. There were about five long, rowdy "Happy Birthdays" sung by the waiters. Shame they didn't put as much effort into being as welcoming to other customers; as the jolly atmosphere felt false due to our initial treatment. I booked a table for 9pm. I don't mind waiting, especially on a busy night, but there was nowhere to sit in the bar and it was swamped with people just drinking. I politely asked how long the table was likely to be; and was looked at as if I'd just kicked the waiter's mother. When I tried again, he said that if I approached the manager with the same question, I'd probably be asked to leave - because the staff were working hard and didn't need the hassle. I really wasn't in the mood for a fight - but he clearly was. It was just bizarre. My main impression was that because they're busy, they're arrogant. It really put me off. I write restaurant reviews for a living, so get some closure by having a platform for my views; but not everyone has that opportunity. So, in short, I wouldn't recommend it on a Friday or Saturday - however good the food is. There are plenty of other restaurants in town with equal quality in ALL areas of service.

The best Thai restaurant we have been to. The food was very fresh and service fab. If you love Thai food you must go !!

The food, price and service are always top notch in the Suhag and I am never disappointed when I eat here. All the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, to both old and new customers. I would recommend anyone to eat here

u find what u looking for in little Italy, food, staff, good value, great atmosphere. The chef always find time to talk to you.even on the busiest days staff will always make sure customers are happy.JUST GREAT PLACE.u should try..

i have tried every restaurant in stockport, now i have come around one of the best modern indian restaurant in stockport, been few times in rusholme, food is not bad not too good, well lets talk last monsoon, the finest, highclass place in stockport food is fantastic. highly recommended by all at (debenhams at stockport)

18 of us went there for a friends birthday, Don't be fooled by the surroundings, whilst the building and interior is nicely furnished, and the music, bar & disco area are very nice, BUT! the staff were rude, and didn't seem to care. They wouldn't take drinks orders at the table, they were rushing us to make our choices and almost forced us to have things we didn't once because they have a £10 minimum food order per person - if your not big eater or only want 1 course its not easy. It took them over an hour to bring us our food after we did. Then the disappointment continued... the food was dreadful, most of us had chicken and all thought it tasted like rubber, probably pre-chopped pre-packed rubbish. It was the worst curry I've had. I would never recommend it. If you are looking for a good curry in Manchester, stick to the east side of the curry mile in Rusholme

Yang Sing is a great concept- it's upmarket style allows you to take corporate clients here, which is a rarity in most Chinese restaurants. However, there are many many restaurants in Manchester that match or surpass the food there including the little downstairs place next door that do the same great steak rolls for approximately half the price. Great for a posh night out but honestly quite disappointing for most real foodies. My advice to you if you eat Chinese regularly in Manchester is to be adventurous and try somewhere else!
