  “After visiting the city centre location previously, we decided to try Hello Oriental at the Trafford Centre while out shopping. We had to queue for a while, but the food itself was worth the wait. The gentleman who served us was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about providing good service. Unfortunately, the overall experience was a bit mixed. The staff generally seemed quite overwhelmed and disorganised at times. One thing that wasn’t clear from the menu was that dishes are prepared and sent out as soon as they’re ready. As a result, our vegetable side arrived well before the mains and was going cold while we waited. We were told this is how the kitchen operates, which is fair enough, but it would have been helpful to know before ordering as we might have chosen differently. I also ordered a roast duck and chicken rice platter. The meat was served on the bone, which isn’t a problem in itself, but it wasn’t mentioned on the menu. Had I known, I probably would have chosen another dish. There were a couple of other minor issues too. They had run out of beer during our visit, and the self-service water machine was extremely slow, taking around two minutes to fill a small 300ml glass. Overall, the food was good and some of the service was excellent, but a lack of communication about how dishes are served and a few operational issues meant the experience wasn’t quite as enjoyable as it could have been.”

  “A shambles and waste of what was expected stop be a decent meal. Two adults and two toddlers - we all received our meals 10 mins apart, on top of this the beef ho fun fact as so over cooked (dads meal and the last to arrive hence we left it without change) also the Choi sum was only stalks and when I mentioned this the girl said Choi sum is stalk and pak Choi is leaf which is utter nonsense. I have ate in town when it first opened and it was a great experience but this was a complete disaster and I would never recommend anyone to return. On a good it the young lad working was a great ambassador any any business”

  “We visited the restaurant with our children and really enjoyed it. There was a wide selection of options for both adults and kids; the children especially liked the katsu curry and pho. The staff were fantastic and offered excellent service. We will definitely visit again.”

  “Food was ok, decor and atmosphere was alright and the service was obnoxious… on more than one occasion we were made to feel like an inconvenience.”

  “Great customer service. This food was immense! Rookie mistake as we’ve never been before; we ordered multiple plates thinking it was little dishes recommended for sharing as it was priced so reasonably. The portions were absolutely ENORMOUS! I was done for after a few bites and ended up carting the rest home. Notable dishes: Salt and pepper Chicken Char siu bao buns Pork belly”

  “Very flavourful food. Hit the spot! Service was very good, quickly greeted and seated. Menu was online (QR) but also could get a physical one. Ordered via QR and food was brought out as ready. Both Eddie and Jenni spoke to me to ensure my meal was good, and that I had everything I needed. Meal: Oolong Tea-Pot, Malaysian Chicken Curry, and Stir Fried Pak Choi.”

  “Fantastic food and awesome staff! I went for my birthday weekend at the of January, and on a very busy Saturday evening the staff (Elliot, Thierr, Suki) were incredibly efficient and accommodating. I cannot sing their praises enough and many thanks to the chef's for delicious food. In particular I noticed Elliot dealing with rather awkward customers in a incredibly helpful manner which they did not deserve, kudos to him! Also Thierr was very generous at giving my son complimentary ice cream while I waited for an order mix up/delay to be sorted. There were other staff who I couldn't catch the names of but I noticed all of them being impressively helpful to all customers. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to go back.”

  “We visited Hello Oriental last night for dinner. The overall experience was okay, but a few things stood out — both good and not-so-great. The Korean HOT Chicken Wings were spicy and sweet. Personally, I found the combination just average, but if you enjoy that sweet heat, you might like them more. I ordered the Beef Ho Fun noodles — they were decent, not spicy at all, which I think could have been improved with a bit of kick or more flavour depth. My wife had the Stir Fried Udon with Chicken. She thought it was just okay, but the udon noodles were too thick for her taste and quite heavy. The drinks were a bit of a mixed bag — the Lucky Buddha beer was fine, but pricey at £6.50 for a pint. However, the Strawberry Fruit Tea was a lovely surprise — refreshing and full of flavour. Definitely the highlight of the drinks we tried. The vibe of the place is lively and modern, but for the price (£46.50 for two mains, sides, and drinks), we expected a little more in terms of flavour and variety. Would we go back? Maybe — mainly for drinks or to try something different from the menu.”
