Quick info
About Man PO
On Cowbridge Road West, Man PO is a Chinese takeaway making its prawn crackers in-house rather than buying them in. The menu runs through shredded crispy beef, Kung Pao chicken, chicken curry, and a range of Cantonese sauce dishes, with a set meal for one offered alongside the main list. Orders are taken by phone through a single line, and the counter operates on a walk-in basis with no reservations. Collection typically carries a shorter wait than delivery, and delivery itself runs through the shop's own drivers rather than a third-party app. Between the phone ordering, in-house crackers, and independent delivery, the operation runs largely on its own terms rather than through outside platforms.

“First time using Man Po. The shredded crispy beef was spot on, nice and crunchy, the Kung Pao chicken had a lovely spicy kick to it. Everything else was great! Ordered and delivered within 40 minutes and came piping hot. Finally found a Chinese that makes prawn crackers thin old school way! Not bought in. Will definitely be using these again. 10/10”

“Never ordering from man po ever again. I'm convinced the chicken in the Cantonese sauce was rats legs . Full of gristle and solid bone 🦴 should be shut down after seeing all the 1 star reviews”

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are specific. Two reviewers say the chicken curry has changed, with boiled, soft chicken and a golden, watery sauce replacing the reddish, flavourful one, and one binned two orders in a row. Others describe over-salted noodles and rice, bland satay, and fatty pork balls in a set meal. One says an order came out wrong and the person on the phone refused to admit it, and one reviewer alleges the Cantonese chicken was full of gristle and bone. A regular notes delivery can run over an hour, though they say customers are told in advance, while collection takes around ten minutes.
