Visited Manting House in Pittsford, and this was one of those meals with some positives but also plenty of room for improvement. Let's start with the biggest disappointment: we ordered the pork belly with abalone, only to discover there was no abalone in the dish. At $32, that's pretty unbelievable. The restaurant did correct the mistake, but honestly, this is the kind of error that should never happen in the first place -- and given the situation, I felt the dish should have been comped. On the positive side, both noodle dishes were decent. Unfortunately, the Manting Crunchy Beef was far too sugary sweet for my taste and lacked the balance I was hoping for. Service was also fleeting, and it was often a struggle to get someone's attention when we needed something. Overall, some decent dishes and a few positives, but the major mistake with our order and inconsistent service made this a disappointing experience. Saluti.

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.

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.

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

Salt & Pepper Shrimp - my favorite

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!

Steam dumplings with crab and pork

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!

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.

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.

Black truffle fried rice- not enough truffle flavor (actually no truffle flavor at all). But still a tasty rice.

Beautiful dining area. Friendly ambiance. Food was amazing and very flavorful. Will definitely go back to check out the other menu items.

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

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.

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!

The space is cozy and inviting, with booths wrapped around the conveyor belt so you can immediately start eyeing the plates gliding by. The sushi on the belt was fresh and tasty, though we noticed the selection leaned a bit heavily toward spicy‑mayo‑based rolls. Everything we tried was delicious, but we would have loved to see a little more variety for those who prefer something less saucy. Thankfully, the touchscreen ordering system made it easy to branch out. You can order drinks and à la carte sushi directly from the screen, and your items arrive on a dedicated upper‑deck conveyor that zips your order straight to your table. It's a clever setup and really helps round out the meal with more options. Drinks were delivered by an adorable robot, which added a fun, whimsical touch. Tables were cleared promptly, and the whole experience felt smooth and well‑run. We had a great time and will definitely be returning.

It's that kind of good. Like pause mid-bite, close your eyes, what is happening right now kind of delicious. The miso soup was a whole experience by itself. Warm, comforting, and it just felt nourishing. Not just something on the side, but something you actually appreciate with every sip. And the Brussels sprouts... I added just a little soy sauce and wow. Completely took them to another level. So simple but so good. This is one of those places where everything hits. Fast delivery, great packaging, and food that actually lives up to the hype. I'm already bookmarking this spot.

ALL THE SUSHI!!!…read more Tokyo Japanese Restaurant is a small restaurant in a strip mall, and it is a hidden gem of a find! We are very particular about fish. Freshness, smell, texture, everything. Tokyo Japanese Restaurant checked all boxes, and then add solid prices and wonderful service, you've got regulars! I appreciated how they had gluten free soy sauce, and on their menu online they have items clearly marked gluten free. Miso soup and salad come with many meals, but neither is GF. Outside of that, I was able to eat plenty of dishes and enjoyed every bite! I actually loved the mackerel the most on our Sushi Boat! Or maybe I loved the spicy tuna the best? Or maybe the fatty salmon? I just loved it all TBH. HUGE pieces of sashimi, very nicely cut, tender, and very fresh. The rolls were nicely made, not a ton of rice, and truly, every bite made me smile. They have great lunch specials too! I also loved how the restaurant did not stink of fish - it smelled like sushi and deliciousness, and it was great! Overall, we cannot wait to go back to Tokyo Japanese Restaurant. Solid place to stop at for lunch or dinner or even takeout!

Wonderful hibachi chicken and vegetables. (It was lunch, but they definitely gave me a dinner…read moreportion!!!) I would absolutely dine here again. Also: A Karen walked in to complain about a previous order. The staff was so nice dealing with her.

I wasn't sure if it was reheated or due to the lack of experienced diners, who thought the redness near the bone on a pouched chicken was "raw". Not only was the chicken not served with ginger and scallion sauce, it was drizzled with soy sauce. I didn't taste the chicken flavor in the chicken rice either. Usually it's paired with the Hainese chicken. The mango chicken was too sweet, according to my husband and son. The roti canai was decent, but it had beef or pork in it. Previously, I've only had chicken in the sauce. With only 2 other seatings taken, we were sat next to a mom group of chatty 4 women. They were loud enough for our table not to bother speaking. When I go out with my girlfriends, we usually ask for a table in to corner or back, as to not bother other customers. We don't live in the area and only stopped by for a college open house.

Everything was hot and delicious and taste like NYC dim sum (iykyk) except -the turnip cake (too oily and mushy) - fried dough noodle (too much wrapping, dough not fresh and crispy enough) - egg tarts (new and only available on weekends according to their menu - I am a BIG egg tarts fan and unfortunately these were disappointing: crust was fine but filling was baked eggs and not the classic flan-like type of an egg tarts). 3-4 other families came in for dim sum, it was more lively and they turned on low classical music so lovelier ambiance than when we first walked in. Wait staff was very friendly and polite. Only negative thing were the sticky plastic spoons they gave to share the congee bowl. After recovering from a recent stomach bug I have to be super critical of dining utensils so gotta ding a star off for that. Prices were more expensive than normal for dim sum but we were expected that - just glad they didn't decrease the quantity like some places! All in all, we would come back again for dim sum :)
