  “What a well run lunchtime diner with prompt, efficient and friendly service. The food comes pretty quickly and the portions are huge. Take home available if you happen to leave anything. Payment by cash or card. Highly recommended 👌🏼”

  “Really enjoyed the food and service in this place. My friend and I shared some dishes. The 3 roast meat is an absolute delight. The brisket on rice is so soft and tasty. Very nice and cool inside. Needed after the heat of summer in Manchester. A lovely cold tsingtao bottle beer to wash it down with too. Highly recommend.”

  “after hearing and seeing the repeatedly viral videos about this place, i finally had the chance to go while up in manchester for a gig. don't listen to the hype, this place isn't going to blow your socks off. the only thing that makes this place traditional is roast meats which aren't very good frankly, the char siu is dry and bland, the roast pork had good flavour but not very crispy, and the duck is pretty unidentifiable, however understand that being in Manchester, this place must be an institution. Salt and pepper prawns were nice, first time having without batter and the siu mai was some of the best and biggest I've had, didn't get a picture. Most people seemed to be having more anglo-fied Chinese food, sweet and sour, ribs etc which I imagine is a lot better, but yeah, given I've had a lot better in London (although more expensive), disappointed given all the talk!”

  “Food quality really went down hill compared to a few years ago. Prawns & corn were tasteless and soggy. Prawn toast was relatively ok. Salt and pepper wings were disgusting. The beef was the least appealing, not horrible, but not great either. We also got the 3 roast meats over rice. 2 of the meats were mainly fat. Egg fried rice was barely warm. We were so excited to be back and left so disappointed. 😔 To top it all off, we were sat next to a table of very loud Brits that made things even worse. So we took most of the food with us, instead of sitting down and having a normal meal.”

  “Absolute must visit for super delicious food in a no-frills buzzing restaurant. Visited 3 times - never had an average dish, always super tasty. Service is efficient and friendly. Superb!”

  “This was recommended by a few people we met on a night out. We were not drinking when we got there. Waited outside 30 mins for a table. Sign of a good place if people are willing to queue. However, we were really disappointed with the food. Tasted below average for Chinese food. I had the duo of barbecue meats. The pork was extremely fatty. The duck was ok. My friend had salt and pepper chicken and it needed longer in the fryer. Overall, every dish lacked flavour. The atmosphere is very dull. No decor, music. Just white walls, did feel clinical. Staff were lovely and we did tip - service was great and food came out very quickly!”

  “Had a lovely meal at happy seasons this week. It's a brisk busy environment with bright lighting, a real buzz and quick turnover of tables. The food was really excellent and portions were very good! Was lovely to be back in Manchester and return to this very reliable stalwart of Manchester Chinatown.”

  “I ordered and paid for a whole roast duck for takeout. I asked the staff to cut it for me, and even though the shop was not busy, they repeatedly rushed me out and refused to let me stay inside while the duck was being prepared. When I got home and opened the box, I was honestly stunned. Inside was only one leg and two duck tails (the butt ends). That’s it. No breast, no wings — just scraps. Is this what you call a “whole duck”? Do you really think customers won’t notice or care? This is unbelievably cheap, dishonest, and disrespectful. Absolutely terrible experience. I will never return.”

  “You know it's good when there's a cue outside!! We came here as a group of 7 so we had to wait a while for tables (Approx 30 minutes), luckily the weather is good! Service is extremely quick and efficient. Food came out nice and hot all cooked to a high standard. Good flavour, decent portions and good value for money. I liked the atmosphere, lots of hustle and bustle but not ruining the experience. Overall a great restaurant with a varied menu that caters for all tastes and top food!!”
