  “No surprises this place being here for more than 10 years- huge portions of interesting delicious food with friendly helpful service - they'll even talk you out of buying an extra topping if they think you have chosen too much!!! Jian Bing so big they split it into 2 portions so I can eat one later!! Add kelp and tell yourself youre bring healthy 😆 Check out the interesting Chinese menu too if you fancy a meaty extra.”

  “The jianbing was enormous and I couldn't even finish it - well worth the 8 GBP price! It was also quite delicious: the meat (Cumin and spicy pork) was crispy and well-seasoned and the pancake was soft. A good place for a quick lunch, especially if you share with someone else. However, the service was bad. There was just one person serving a queue of 5 and she was slow - we waited over 20min. The truck is also cash only. What I didn't like is that the person didn't speak English, she made a face on my pronunciation of the foods and she started speaking in Mandarin to my partner based on his looks. He is asian but not Chinese and she just assumed based on his appearance.”

  “Taste:🤮 Service: 👎 Value: 🤏 Experience: 🤬 The noodle was so soggy and too sweet. Worst experience ever have. Declined card payment at 2026 and been rude to my friend. Never came back!”

  “They have opened for over 10 years! Serving very delicious food famous for their savoury egg pancakes, on this occasion I got the salt and pepper beef noodles takeaway. It was stir fried to perfection and with rich flavour. Only £8.5 for a hot lunchtime option! Highly recommend them. Great customer service from Mr Zhuang and his chef assistant.”

  “***CASH ONLY*** Great little food van serving delicious Jian Bing pancakes. The portion sizes are pretty decent and they'll accommodate your spice tastes (I had mine extra spicy and it didn't disappoint).”

  “We ordered the chicken jian bing, a chicken wrap, and sweet & sour chicken fried rice for dinner last weekend, and we won't come back again mainly for hygiene reason. The chicken jianbing was with a generous portion — definitely enough to fill you up with just one order. The chicken wrap, however, was quite average and not something I’d recommend. As for the sweet and sour chicken fried rice, the rice seemed pre-cooked and kept warm in a rice cooker, which raised some concerns about freshness. The downside was really the service and hygiene. It was our first time ordering, and when we asked for recommendations, the lady at the counter simply shrugged and didn’t offer much help. The food truck operates on a cash-only basis, but mobile payment was possible through a specific payment app, which seemed catered to certain users. It would be helpful if more universally accepted payment options (like card or contactless) were available or clearly communicated to avoid confusion. What concerned us the most, however, was the lack of hygiene. The staff handled cash with bare hands and then proceeded to prepare food without washing hands. I saw her grab raw chicken pieces and then grab coriander pieces with the same hands, which raised food safety concerns. Overall, the portion sizes were generous and the price was reasonable, but due to the service experience, limited payment flexibility, and hygiene issues, we don’t plan to return.”

  “A fantastic food truck situated between Picadiily Gardens and Market Street, just outside Primark. They accept only cash. The food is prepared fresh on order and the portion is huge. I've tried the Spicy Cumin Chicken Fried Rice, Spicy Cumin Chicken Noodles, Salt and Pepper Chicken Fried Rice, Cantonese Chicken Noodles, Slat and Pepper Chicken Jian-Bing. Oh boy, what a pocket friendly place. Literally £7 for a big portion of rice or noodles. You can choose your toppings while making the Jian-Bing. Watch the video below to see how it's made.”

  “This is a fantastic food truck. Some Chinese classics but for me it's all about the jianbing. Beautifully light egg pancakes loaded with a choice of fillings, from Sausage or Chicken through to some great vegetarian options too. Not too expensive however they don't take card payments so you'll need some real cash on you. I had the spicy cumin chicken jianbing and it was so good. Chicken cooked to perfection and a really good level of spice. When I am next in Manchester I will be making a bee line to this place.”

  “Finally visited this famous street food stall among the Chinese community. The portion of the Chinese pancake is amazing, it can easily fill at least one meal. The price is decent too. Just watch out the spice, it can be a bit too spicy.”

  “Famous Chinese pancake in front of Primark at Market Street. We ordered Chinese pancake (Jian Bing) and panfried flat noodle (烤冷面). Both of them taste well, and the portion is so generous. You know the food is nice and affordable when there is a long queue.”
