Ocean Treasure

One of my favourite Chinese restaurants in Manchester is Ocean Treasure 235 located by the Great Northern and found at the entrance to Manchester 235 Casino. Throughout the years I have been going there, I have never been disappointed!
The interior has an oriental elegance that could be found in a Bond film, and I think the restaurant plays on this theme. I have always found the service to be top notch, and super friendly as we are guided to our seats and our orders taken.
My preferred dish is the crispy shredded chili beef with rice, and from Ocean Treasure, it is absolutely amazing! The best I’ve had in Manchester! the beef is truly crispy and the sauce has a nice spicy kick to it and a little veg adds to that oriental flavour. Perfect!
As it had been a while since we visited Ocean Treasure, we really wanted to have the food again, but rather than visiting the restaurant on this night, we thought we would try Deliveroo. Deliveroo is a service that partners with restaurants to collect your favourite dishes and deliver them by bicycle to you for a small fee. How brilliant is this?! The list of restaurants working with Deliveroo in Manchester is growing and it is all the best places. These are restaurants that don’t have delivery or necessarily takeaway service, but offer such a service through Deliveroo. My experience has been very positive and I would use them again and again and again, especially when it is raining in Manchester (which is often!) and I don’t want to leave the comfort of my home.

I was there with a date. The atmosphere is nice and the service is impeccable. If you want to impress your partner with a classy treatment it’s a safe shot.
Food was nothing remarkable. The house suggested a duck stuffed with prawns: besides being the worst combination ever possible in terms of taste, the result was rather dry and the sauce was uhm. My date had noodles, too spicy and overall not better than the 4£-takeaway standard. Dim sum starters were good though.
There were annoying flies all around our table for the entire night, probably infesting the wooden wall our table was next to.
My most expensive dinner in manchester was disappointing.
