The Manchurian

Good and tasty Chinese food — have eaten here numerous times over the years and always enjoyed the food. It’s good value, good service and good food.

Visited this place for lunch, which was empty on arrival and also leaving too. The starter had to be sent back to the kitchen, but the main course was one of the best that I’ve tasted so far. The service was average and overall I’d say that this place was mediocre if I take everything into account.

Really like this place, my partner and I often get take away from here. I’ve never ordered anything I didn’t like (except for a spicy meat dish, but to be fair I was warned beforehand on how spicy it was!). Good prices too, about £4.20 for most main meals plus £1.70 for rice. Always plentifu portions that last two days worth of meals. Great for us that don’t like to cook every day!

Standard chinese takeaway available here for delivery or sit in. I have used it for 10 years and Im fussy !
I will go to ho wong and chow for good, but when I need a good, cheap takeaway I go here. Always good portion sizes and never any complaints-​ok its a bit msg at times, but most are. Service is always great and it is alwsy busy, which is a good sign. Recommended if youre after some good hearty chinese food western style. If youre after a little step up try the Ho Wong in town.

best chinese restaurant in partick area. use all the time. not a problem at all.

diarrhea twice now. I used to love this place but enough is enough. Avoid.

cheap lunch deal is just that. cheap. chicken and mushroom soup used old powdery chicken bits, main of thai pattaya chicken was ok, and desert was a mr kiplings apple pie doused in cream. cheap at £5.90, but not great.

Lumberjack and I had the munchies… the munchies for some Chinese on a cold wintery evening. With a quick stroll from our flat, we arrived at the Manchurian, ordered and paid. We were told it would only take 10 minutes. So to kill some time, we hopped over to the Spar to pick up some milk before coming back for our food. Upon our return, we were greeted with our sizzling fresh grub, and we happily skipped out the door back to the flat.
It’s convenient, fresh, and your typical Anglo-​fied Chinese food. The food was decent enough for our hungry bellies, but nothing worth writing home about. My only gripe is that for £9−10 a dish, a side or rice isn’t included. *hmphf*

we love the manchurian, the staff are always really friendly, the food is very tasty, fresh and well prepared.
delivery is always very quick, and the prices are about average for a chinese takeaway but its altogether better than most i’ve tried in glasgow.
slightly worrying that they know me by name when i phone up now. do i eat too much chinese food? ;)

Ok, this is yet another credit crunch review from me but the Manchurian is fantastic value.
This place is not haute cuisine, nor is it very posh to look at, or an exponent of more unusual Asian food (for that try Asia Style). But me and my other half are always chuffed with our meals, the service and the price here.
There are posher looking Chinese restaurants in town (with ruder staff and poor food) but we keep going back here.
They have a very civilised all-​you-​can-​eat option for a tiny £13.95. It’s not an «all head for the piggy trough» buffet. You order some starters. You eat them. They come over and ask if you fancy some more starters. If you are so inclined (greedy? moi?) they do not make bloaty-​cheek faces and farty noises at you, they smilingly bring you some more. And the food is very very nice indeed. There are Thai options as well as Cantonese Dishes.
I recently had satay chicken, sticky prawns, and Thai green curry. All were nicely cooked (soft, just-​cooked chicken, and tasty sauces). Other half was delighted with his beef with tomato.
Main courses are nicely-​sized portions, not too much, and you can add side dishes to your heart’s content. And, if you are still hungry, order another main and a pudding.
By which point, though, other customers will be making bloaty-​cheek faces and farty noises at you.
Just don’t ever order more food than you will eat. I’m not sure what the punishment is … obesity possibly.

I would argue that Glasgow is not a place of great chinese cuisine. Sure there is quite an impressive quantity of takeaways, but the quality is (almost) never there. And don’t start me with those greasy all-​you-​can-​eat buffet
Anyway, this is probably the reason why it took me 6 months of passing by the front door of the Manchurian twice every single day before trying it.
Finally, I did try it, a couple of weeks ago. And I went back twice since then! The food is really good, really tasty, and the wait is always very decent (never more than 10min).
It is the best I can get on a lazy evening after a long working day, when i’m not in the mood of cooking. It’s simply their fabulous king prawn chow mein and spring rolls.

I have never used this restuarant as a sit down eaterie, but I have used it as a takeaway many times. I find that the food is delicious and good value, the portion sizes are good and you always get a free bag of prawn crckers with your order. We often sit and wait for our order and the resturant seems to have a nice ambience and feel. I particularly like the duck dishes and they also have many veggie dishes on the menu. It is very easy to get to as it is near Partick Station and right near a bus stop.

This place was recommended to me by a lady I know, but was just average in my opinion. I made a special trip to it. This was a forgettable experience. The food was just average and I did not think that it was very clean. The staff were not that interested and there was a couple fighting in the dining room and no-​one asked them to leave. I would not rush back.
