We went on a week day at around 6 and the place was fairly empty. The sign informed us that there is a poke stop nearby, which made me smile. After a polite and smiley waitress explained us what dishes can we have with regards to the groupon offer, we opted for salads. Portions were big enough (for us), and I would also say quite tasty. Overall I enjoyed the experience, the only thing I didn't like was a shabby toilet - only one cabin, and also there was no soap.

This is another one those little treasure troves of speciality food that can make buying a ready…read moremade 'take-away meal' from a supermarket just a ludicrous option. Why do that when you can come to somewhere like the Vietnamese Mini Mart and buy lots of authentic ingredients to make something that's at least heading in the direction of being like the real thing. Vietnamese Mini Mart sells a wide range of sauces, noodles and many other Vietnamese things which I simply do not understand. They have freezers stocked with fish and a few vegetables as well. The ladies behind the counter are always friendly and usually giggling and laughing with each other which adds a nice, relaxed feel to the place. Oh, and if you're a student/lazy cook they have a great deal of instant noodles here in all kinds of places for just 35p a pop.

The staff here are SO nice and excited to have you as a customer!…read more The food is excellent value - £3 for a banh mih and £2.80 for a king prawn summer roll (you get two). The banh mih had the flavour I felt was missing from I Am Pho's version, really beautiful blend of sweet and tangy. I do think Amir is right about the bread though, towards the end of the sandwich its "part baked" flavour started to overwhelm the deliciousness of the filling (also that end possibly needed a bit more filling in it). Summer rolls were great, I tried the peanut sauce with chilli added as suggested, which was yum. Next time I'll try their other chilli option. Overall a great addition to Manchester's lunchtime scene and I look forward to seeing them at street food events in the near future!

Generally very tasty - make sure you dig around for the kimchi at the bottom as it's a nice contrast to the relatively heavy chicken and chips - both done very well though. Will def be back to sample more options!

I have eaten at Fusion Lab about 3 times, trying different things each time. The price, as…read morementioned by Natalie, is maybe a bit on the higher side for a lunch but I think its overall worth it. (Although maybe not the sort of meal that would really fill you up if you were really hungry). I have had the fish tacos, the slow cooked short ribs and most recently the Dragon Bowl. The fish tacos were pretty good, short ribs tasty and the Dragon Bowl was good too. Fusion Lab is located right next to Viet Shack - part of the same family - and they serve similar sort of food. Also just opposite is Gym Shack which is all part of the same family (and opened by the same people). This is similar to Kettlebell Kitchen with high protein and healthy carb meals - (still not had a chance to try Gym Shack yet). One thing to mention, with Vietnamese food generally, it often has coriander in it so if you don't like it, mention this and can you have what you order without it - which I forgot when I got the short ribs.

The portions were very small for the price and it wasn't very filling, the salad didn't taste nice either and the gyoza were tiny compared to what you get in Chinese and Japanese restaurants. The staff were friendly and service was efficient, but small portions for the price made this place more pricy than it's worth for an Asian restaurant, and the food was not that good either.

The rest of the food was nice but fell slightly short - salt and pepper squid came with really tasty vegetables but these outshone the bland batter. Pho is not my favourite although I thought the broth tasted ok but I def would not rush back here for it again. A beef stir fry dish we ordered sounded fantastic - coconut, lemongrass, peanut ingredients but they did not come together as satisfyingly as you might hope, although it was not bad. Apparently the toilets were awful and the wine list was also terrible but frankly I feel that is acceptable in what is basically a hole in the wall Vietnamese. I wouldn't rush back but nor would I run screaming if someone suggested it.
