Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly return for the dumplings, with the pan-fried chicken dumplings and prawn and chicken wontons singled out as juicy and flavoursome, and the bao buns and bao bulddak also drawing praise. Close behind, the Fried Chilli Honey Wings and a dish called The Mancunian earn recommendations for their variety of textures and flavours. Service comes up often too, with several describing attentive waitstaff who kept water topped up and one crediting a server by role for "vip treatment." One reviewer, married to a Malaysian, found the Mee Goreng Chicken Katsu off the mark, its noodles more stirred than fried and the sauce a thicker curry dip rather than the thinner one expected. Portions get a mixed note from one diner who found the mains modest before filling up, and another jokes about being given only five prawn crackers. Repeat visits, including with children who request the spot themselves, come up more than once.

“Great food guys everything is very delicious. HOWEVER please can you consider giving me more than 5 prawn crackers. That's almost a £1 per cracker!!!”

“Great evening out! The menu and flavours were much better than we expected. I thought the mains portion was not big, however half way through I was full and satisfied. The cherry on top was the waiter who was called irfan who gave us vip treatment throughout making sure we was okay.”

“We came for a meal after attending the Manchester Thunder game! Food was delicious and service was great, the server was very tentative and constantly ensured we had enough water throughout. Would highly recommend.”

“For me, it's an excellent restaurant. I was craving for Asian foods and I found this great halal restaurant through Gemini recommendation. And it's all delicious and fit my taste with generous portions. I ordered chicken and prawn wonton, the bao bulddak, and meé goreng. The service is so good, the staff is so friendly and kind. ✨”
