Delicious food in a well decorated and clean atmosphere. We scanned a barcode to order and we enjoyed everything but the duck, which was pretty dry since it was smoked. It would have done better with a sauce and some pickled garnishes. The staff was friendly, the menu choices were more authentically Chinese rather than fusion in my opinion. Do not sleep on the soup dumplings. Delicious! read more

Friendly staff, great food and great atmosphere! My favorite dishes are the salt & pepper shrimp, soup dumplings, and the chicken feet (although I know that's not everyone's first choice lol) Favorite new spot for Chinese food! read more

Manting House - Salt & Pepper Shrimp - my favorite - Asian Fusion Near Me - Rochester, New York

Pleasantly surprised by this new Chinese restaurant. Nice ambiance, friendly service and large portions. They have physical menus but you can order through a QR code on your phone. My wife and I ordered 4 things to share: Sweet and sour soup, pan fried green beans, refreshing wood ear fungus (trust me it tastes better than it sounds) and a tomato beef brisket dish. Portions were BIG. The wood ear dish was my favorite, it was vinegary, slightly sweet and had a good chewy texture. The green beans were good . The tomato beef brisket dish needed more beef. It had plenty of tomato, but I was fishing around to find more meat. Tasted good though. I'll be back. read more

I was disappointed. I came here Wednesday for dinner. The restaurant was nice and clean and wasn't busy. Got my table next to window and it was hot sitting there during summer. They had online menu and ordered via that website. The menu website that list on Google map doesn't reflect the new price on their menu. I got beef noodle in soy sauce and Gen Tso chicken. The chicken was so so. Broccoli came with it was under cooked. The beef noodle was terrible, in my opinion. The soup tasted like tomato soup, not the soy sauce one, and not the same as beef noodle I had at other Chinese restaurants. Even the bowl was really big, it barely had meat, only beef tendon, and had 4 baby bok-choy leaves (not bigger than my thumb). Staffs were friendly. Due to the food quality, I won't come back read more

TGIF! Wanted to try a new spot. The interior is light and airy. The bigger tables have spinners in the middle since things are family style. So, a larger group means more things to try. Overall we enjoyed our food. However, not all entrees came out together and my pick came out long after everything else. I will say that the fried rice was just ok and not worth the $18 price tag. I would not get it again. At the end of our meal, it took 3 times asking to get to-go boxes and the check. So, be patient and know this is not the spot to come if you're in a hurry. read more

Yum yum yum!!! Love my experience. Came with a friend who has previously been here and could lead me in my ordering. -Sizzling Green Pepper Chicken=Amazing -Twice Cooked pork= Sooo good -Dripping chicken with chili oil= Good We brought two children with us and they weren't too keen on trying our options. I noticed that there was sweet-and-sour fish on the menu. I inquired if they could do a variation with chicken and the chef approved. So the girls chowed down on that and we're happy. The staff were so kin and accommodating. They also brought the girls some balloons which was unexpected and great! We were also served Jasmine tea, very floral. Beautiful decor overall! So fancy read more

One of the most beautiful Chinese restaurants I've been to both inside and out. We arrived at 2 PM on a weekday which means we had an hour to order on the lunch menu. There's also a regular Chinese menu and an American Chinese menu. You can order on the app, but since one of the menu items did not appear on the site, A lovely waitress took our order. We were probably the only people dining at that point and our food came out fairly quickly. We both had lunch specials, which includes soup of the day and a vegetable roll. The soup this day was egg drop, and it was full of flavor and a very generous serving. The vegetable rolls were just OK. I had the stir fried green beans which came with a large serving of sticky white rice. The green beans were delicious seasoned with fresh garlic, and Chinese spices. The best. My husband had a beef curry dish that was perfectly seasoned and the curry had just the right amount of heat. Service is great and there is a full drink menu. Highly recommend and will return. read more

One of the best Chinese restaurants in the Greater Rochester area. The food is consistently delicious, and the menu offers both authentic Chinese cuisine and Americanized Chinese dishes. Their lunch specials are also great, offering good portions (delicious, too) at reasonable prices. read more

They should tell you they dont have a liquor license. We will try again another time. read more

I was so excited to check out this place with a friend. This took over the former Trio restaurant in the plaza so I was very curious to see what they have done with the place. Signage is well done and seen from the main road. Parking is ample. Place is beautifully decorated from lighting and decor. Love all the plush seating and aesthetics of the place once you enter. The seating is super comfortable and we were given one of their elegant booths. We did need to wait a bit to be seated as there was no hostess waiting up front but we were quickly seated thereafter and served water right away. Ordering is done through a tablet and you are given a wonderful fancy, plush menu to see all their featured dishes in beautifully colored photos. Food is more Szechuan style so watch out that there will be more spicy options on the menu even if some of the dishes aren't designated as spicy. I had taken a look at the menu before hand so we ordered the crab and pork filled steamed dumplings, beef skewers, beef chow fun, and shepherd's purse wonton soup. Food came out surprisingly quite quickly. Large portions of tender beef in the noodles which we were surprised by. Though kind of wish there were more noodles in it, but all and all very tasty! Everything had great flavor. The wonton soup did have a bit too much ginger in it but still was very good. Beware of the spice on the beef skewers, it has cumin and other spices which gave it quite a kick! Will definitely be back to try out some of their other speciality dishes! read more

Finally! A place that has actual authentic Chinese food. Of course if you're into that, they do have the traditional Chinese take out options. The menu is huge, portions are huge and everything is amazing. We ordered so much food not know the size of each dish so we had a lot to take home. 4 people we spent ~$160 TOTAL. We also loved the inside of the restaurant, decorated tastefully and staff were nice. read more

Manting House - Black truffle fried rice- not enough truffle flavor (actually no truffle flavor at all). But still a tasty rice. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Rochester, New York

Sherman Williams should make a new paint color called Rochester Grey. Oppressive weather sometimes makes us hungry and this was the color of the sky yesterday afternoon when My Beloved and I decided we needed to brighten things up a bit with a random late lunch date. Since we'd been watching the films of Jia Zhanke lately, we were in the mood for Chinese so we headed out toward Manting House, which we'd read good things about somewhere online (starts with a Y...) but had never been. From Greece (NY, where we also live), it's easy to locate with plenty of free parking, already a plus. 3-3:30 on a dreary Saturday afternoon and the place was UN-packed with only 2 other sets of diners in the (Manting) House. Upon entering, the energy was calm and relaxed and the interior was gorgeous, with the warm lights down low but not too low, just enough to highlight the pops of color and gleam we so desperately needed. Two large glowing koi lanterns hovered gracefully over the spacious dining area. This was an environment of whimsical upscale ambience and casual elegance where intimacy could be had for a quiet romantic evening or I suspect, later in the evening, a gently raucous dinner gathering of friends. The hostess asked us whether we wanted a table or a booth? We chose a booth. Clean and comfortable. Then we were handed a well-illustrated folder menu as well as an iPad to peruse and place our order directly to the kitchen. The menu is extensive and slightly overwhelming with all the delicious looking and sounding choices but we managed. Here's what we ordered: 1. Braised Pork Belly with Abalone 2. Black Truffle Beef Fried Rice 3. Smoked Duck with Cinnamon & Tea 4. Ants Climbing a Tree (Glass Noodles with Finely Ground Pork) 5. 2 Fried Chive Dumplings 6. Hot Jasmine Tea I will not go on at length about each dish except to say that we loved every generous portion we were graciously served and had plenty of leftovers, which was part of The Plan. But let me offer a few spot standouts: The Braised Pork Belly with Abalone was absolutely delicious: braised cubes of pork belly served in a deep sienna rich and flavorful sauce. As the name implies, the gently braised pork outnumbers the abalone chunks 5 to 1 but that's not a complaint. There are also little green stalks of bok choy lurking about in the sauce. This dish is best eaten with rice, of course, and the subtle flavor of the Black Truffle Beef Fried Rice seemed to be a good match--a gentle tug-of-war between flavors. Lots of texture and nuance in each bite. The Smoked Duck with Cinnamon & Tea tasted like its name suggests it would taste, meaning excellent. Subtly sweet one second then salty and smoky the next. Succulent, tender, a little crispy 'round the edges--perfection! We were surprised that the Fried Chive Dumplings were served without any dipping sauce so I couldn't resist dunking my steaming, torn portion into the velvety Pork Belly sauce--that did the trick. MY Beloved thought the hot, jasmine tea served with our meal was of exceptional quality, fragrance and taste-wise. Next time you're in the mood for Asian Fusion food that's bright, flavorful and spicy enough to burn away any lingering winter blues, head to Manting House. You will NOT be disappointed. And like us, you WILL return to further sample the exquisite and sumptuous offerings of their great & plentiful menu. Special shout out to our server, Lu, whose lovely tableside presence and patter added another layer of warmth and authenticity to our exquisite Manting House dining experience. read more

I've been here a couple of times. Each time I very much enjoyed the food. I strongly recommend ordering a few dishes for the table to share rather than getting your own single dish. The variety of flavors is amazing. The only menu item I would not order again is the wonton soup. It was completely flavorless, very unexpected since all their other food is packed with flavor! read more

We came here for lunch on a snowy weekday and it surely did not disappoint. I ordered the braised pork lunch special which comes with salad, soup (hot & sour), rice, shrimp chips and hot tea. We also ordered string beans to share which was a generous amount. It's such a good deal for the amount of food you get for the lunch bento box deal and we couldn't finish it all so we had leftovers that we were able to take home. The string beans were so delicious and lots of garlic. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. You can either order from the tablet and it'll send everything automatically to the kitchen or if you prefer the traditional way, you can order from a physical menu. The interior is extremely clean, modern and aesthetic. We were also given coupons at the end of our meal. Will definitely be coming back to try other menu items! read more

what a wonderful surprise it's right near the Brighton Henrietta/Winton intersection that I used to call Todd Mart. The same plaza that still has Fox's delicatessen. Manting House is a separate building by itself. i've eaten in that building many times with many owners, but this actually may be the best yet, especially if you are a person that likes Asian food Nothing is perfect, I get the impression that many of those that work there do not speak English, or at least not easily. They do for that reason, at least this is the reason I believe you make an order yourself with an Internet tablet. I cannot tell you this time what I ate because one of my closest friend grew up in landline, China, and then later in Hong Kong. For that reason, I always ask my friend to choose everything for the table. I've never been disappointed. what I can tell you though is the food was outstanding. And I will also tell you that this is probably the most beautiful Asian restaurant I've been to in Monroe County. not only will we come back, we can't wait until we come back read more

This has replaced Chen Garden as the go-to restaurant for great Chinese in town. I'd even put it a notch or two ahead of Szechuan Opera on Park Avenue. It is absolutely fantastic if you care about real (non-American) Chinese food, and is a welcome addition to the local ethnic cuisine scene. Oh, and it's got a great open an spacious dining room as well. read more

Great food especially the sizzling beef and scallion pancakes were a good combo. Added the pink lemon juice a version of pink lemonade and sticky rice. read more

Impressive menu and food for such a new restaurant. It's great to see a new Chinese restaurant opening, and I was very satisfied and satiated after our meal! There's a good selection of items on the menu. We ordered a few dishes, and the black pepper beef tenderloin and stir fried green beans and eggplant stood out the most. The beef was incredibly flavorful, and the garlic cloves with rice were delicious. Green beans and eggplant can tell a lot about how a restaurant cooks staple dishes, and they delivered! Definitely have to come back to try other dishes. They have lots of space both in the interior and parking, and the restaurant has a classic, but modern feel. Each table orders on an iPad, and service was prompt. It's a solid restaurant! read more

We'll try it again. Went for lunch specials. Both dishes were good, not great. I liked them more than my wife, but I had to admit they're a notch below Han. The soup was delicious, a little bit smoky with greens and mushrooms, very comforting. The included spring rolls were a bummer. Very crispy, but the only flavor was fryer grease. We couldn't even tell what they were stuffed with, just bland mush. And no dipping sauce, just a couple packets of duck sauce like from a cheap takeout place. We do appreciate the very generous portions with the lunch specials, plenty for lunch the next day too. The inside is very nice, they did a fantastic job decorating. Ordering was a little confusing (three different menus) but staff were all very friendly and helpful. I think we'll come back for dinner and see how that goes. Maybe they have some house specialties that'll really knock our socks off. read more

The dish are very well done. As one can find area of greater New York City. One could be in Fort Lee, NJ

We absolutely loved Manting House! They took care in renovations and decorations and everything is just perfect. The menu was intriguing and it was hard to decide what to order, but the pictures on the iPad really did help! Everything we got was top notch. Our favorite things were the tongue (so flavorful and tender), the spicy beef, the egg lobster, and the Thai pork. One thing we really appreciated was that the spicy beef and the tongue could have been too similar in the sauces, but they clearly took time to differentiate these dishes. I can't wait to go back and order more things on the menu. We've been to some restaurants similar to this in Boston, and this is just as good as those! read more

Manting House is where Trio used to be, and the new interior is stunning. You're seated on retro green couches with plush gold pillows, which set a cozy yet elegant vibe. The ordering is modern and fun -- they hand you an iPad so you can select dim sum, cold apps, soups, entrées, and desserts at your own pace. I spotted truffle fried rice and lobster on the menu (definitely saving those for next time!), but since I wasn't too hungry, I just enjoyed the atmosphere this round. The staff were genuinely warm, attentive, and friendly -- which made the whole experience even better. I'll absolutely be going back to try more. read more

We were looking for something Asian, and fusion seemed to be a great choice. Orders are placed on an iPad-- which is fine, but it does limit the ability to ask questions a bit. We ordered a wonton soup for the both of us, and each ordered an entree. The food was well presented and tasted great, but the service was a little spotty. One entree came out a significant amount of time before the other, and the soup, served in a wide stoneware bowl, came out at the same time-- so it was pretty impossible to eat the soup before it started to get cold-- and we had to eat it with the meal instead of as an appetizer. Luckily the food was good, and the decor and ambiance were great. I can see saving a return trip to a time when perhaps we have a larger group and can place an appetizer and soup order first, and follow with a main order after. read more

Nice place with good decorations. Spaces really spacey inside. . Food come out with good presentation on a nice fancy plates . However the food taste is around average compared to other authentic Chinese restaurants. One thing I do not like is the kitchen have no doors. You can hear everything from the staffs and cook chatting inside . Sometimes it really loud . If they want this restaurant to be one of those upscale food cuisine place. , they need to be more awareness to their talking. read more

The setting is beautiful, the seating is beautiful, love the table set up. The staff were lovely but they did not check in frequently enough, we needed to get their attention most of the time. There were definitely enough of them, but most of the time they were chatting with each other. Our experience took two hours which was about an hour too much. Food was good but one dish misled us. The crispy fish filled was neither crispy nor a filled. When we expressed our dissapointment the response was, the mushrooms are crispy. I'd rename the dish slices of fish with crispy mushrooms (which aren't really crispy, they have a bit of a crunch). At the end we were given the bill and I handed over my credit card, when it came back for a signature it was a different bill. Resolved that by just walking up to the register instead of trying to call someone over again, resolved, I was told there was a systems error. Hmm read more

Just tried this place out and it's exceptional. As far as Asian cuisine goes I'm not sure there's a place in Rochester that's even close in terms of quality of food. The place is beautiful too, they completely redid the restaurant (formerly Trio) and it looks incredible. Friendly staff, helpful with the menu which can be overwhelming with so many great options. The hunan beef is one of the best things I've eaten this year, perfect amount of spicy. Dumplings were awesome both the soup ones and traditional. Will definitely be back soon! read more

The food was excellent. They offer a menu that differentiates between genuine Chinese food and Chinese food tailored to the western taste. The big clue that the food is the real deal is the many Asian customers eating there. Service was friendly, welcoming and accurate. Ambience says Chinese restaurant in a subtle way. The place was spotless clean. We're going back again! read more

We had for entrees the lamb with cumin and the sesame chicken, both of which were truly excellent. As was the dessert called Bing Su was great. The appetizers were shrimp shaomai and pork dumplings the shaomai was very good but the pork dumplings were only okay. Everything was ordered online in the restaurant. Unfortunately our iPad was taken after ordering the main meal and we had difficulty getting attention to order the dessert after dinner. But the place was well designed and attractive and we look forward to going back again read more

Everything we had was delicious. The space is gorgeous and the service was amazing! We will definitely be back.

We checked out this new Chinese restaurant today and was very satisfied with our experience. We ordered hot stone beef and the meat was tender and juicy, really well made. We also ordered eggplant and stringbeans, which was also really good. The appetizer pancake good too and the restaurant also offered some free snacks. Finally, it is nicely decorated with good service. The dish price is a bit higher than other local Chinese restaurants but the ingredients are good and the portions are decent. read more
