I was only recently at the Yelp event at The Kitchens and got to try the food from all the different vendors including Nasi Lemak. I had the rempah chicken (which is Malaysian spiced fried chicken) with noodles. The chicken is just so tasty - you can really taste the juicy chicken. And the sauce is lovely - nice spice to it. (Its worth just mentioning that if you are a vegetarian, you have some options such as the mock chicken. I have had mock chicken before - both from Nasi Lemak and other places - and its pretty hard to tell the difference - the taste and also the texture). I recommend checking out Nasi Lemak!

Nice looking restaurant from the outside. Quite an expensive but varied menu…read more Ordered a takeaway twice from this place and both times i have been a little disappointed. The first time i was made to spend more than i had wanted to because they don't accept card payments for anything under £10. My bill was £9. The second time i was unimpressed by the chow mein; it was dried out and drenched in dark soy - as though it had been cooked much earlier in the day and left in a tray for hours and reheated for me. For the money each dish is valued (£5-7) at i would expect freshly cooked food. I have never eaten here for a meal in the restaurant, so perhaps they treat their takeaway customers to poorer quality meals, than the patrons who sit down in the restaurant?

Its always quiet during the week but gets busy at weekends. They also do take out and delivery so thats very popular. The food looked that good when it arrived we tucked straight in and I forgot to take photos until the end. I ordered Thai yellow curry with steamed white rice. My mum ordered beef stirfry with was very spicy.

I didn't think much of the latter (too dry) but the first is good. We also got the char kway teow on both occasions - this is the quintessential Malaysian street food and apparently the litmus test of any Malaysian restaurant. I'm not sure this is the best example owing to my lack of specialist knowledge but I really enjoyed it and would recommend. We also tried the national dish, Nasi Lemak. The prawns that came with this were very good (although Jimmy K who owns Nasi Lemak's are even better). Finally we got a chicken dish involving coconut, chilli, garlic, and chilli which obviously with those ingredients was pretty tasty. Each dish is around £8 or £9 which includes rice - great value. The wine selection I think comes down to three colours out of which white is better than rose owing to the latter being too sweet (for my taste anyway). Very reasonably priced again. It's a small restaurant with only the owner serving and many proud regulars making it somewhat gratingly obvious they're regulars, but the fact it has such a loyal following is indicative of consistency and it's another asset to the small but quality Hazel Grove dining scene. If you're coming on a Friday or Saturday booking is recommended because there was only 1 table for two spare the night we went on a Friday. Midweek should be fine. If you're having trouble spotting it, it's the hole in the wall next to the Fireplace shop!

My first impression upon entering was that it looks different than what you see on the outside. The smoked glass exterior windows and doors opens up to a spacious and inviting interior. Tabletops, clean. Silverware, shiny & streak less. Wine glasses, spotless. I was in the mood for crispy noodles and to my pleasant surprise they had them on the menu. Not soft/stir-fried but crispy as in crunchy. Not every Chinese restaurant has crispy noodles. Did I mention I like crispy noodles? :) I ordered the "crispy" Char Siu Chow Mein, sat back and waited with anticipation albeit reservedly. What came to my table was well worth the wait. A generous plate was set in front of me consisting sliced Char Siu pork, green onions, white onions, bamboo shoot, mushrooms, miniature corn, Chinese water chestnut, carrots and bell peppers....on a bed of crispy noodles! It was delicious and I polished it all off by myself. Don't judge me. There are only two things I'd change. They should make their oily chili sauce hotter and the fish aquarium lost against the back wall should be moved into the dining area. Sitting next to a large, soothing bubbling aquarium is preferred.

I must point out that I was only there in the first place because Ange promised me lunch,and she only wanted to go because she had been given some vouchers for John Lewis and needed some make-up. At lunch time we wandered around the Orient perusing the menus,and opted to try Rice because they had a good choice on offer. I went for the Malaysian Chilli Chicken,and Ange for the Thai Chicken Krapao (Much school boy laughter from me). I ordered a bottle of Peroni whilst Ange asked for a glass of cucumber water,the waitress walked off and came back and told Ange that they were out of cucumber,so ange asked for half a pint of Tiger Beer,only to be told that they no loger have beer on tap,only bottles. My food was nice,not spectacular,just nice,nice rice,nice chicken and a nice amount of spice. Ange on the other hand took a couple of mouthfuls before realising that the dish was supposed to contain chicken and mince,hers was only chicken. When she ordered it the waiter told her it was spicy,only it wasn't spicy at all. She decided to not bother with the mince but asked a waitress if she could have some chilli sauce,she went off to get some and we didn't see her again! Although we both kind of enjoyed the food,at £30 for the two of us it was a bit steep for what we got,a main and a beer each. We left feeling like we should've gone elsewhere.Probaby Wokooshi accross the way... On the way out we were given a loyalty card,but told it can't be used there,only at the Piccadilly Gardens branch,thanks for that..... Not only that,but we had dragged our posteriors all the way over to the Trafford Centre only to find that John Lewis doesn't stock the make-up Ange wanted,just another reason why for food and for shopping you can't beat the City centre.

A dream so profound it inspired him to embark on a journey which resulted in the formation of one of my favorite eateries in Manchester. My love for Rice Flame bar and grill and its delightful range of dishes was firmly established way before I featured them in a publication I previously worked for. This place is nothing but a celebration of the fact that rice is the staple diet of billions all over the globe. Whilst places like Tampopo and Wagamama amongst others celebrate cuisine of a similar persuasion, Rice competes admirably. The food is of the highest standard as demonstrated by the volume of my check ins. Chicken Katsu curry, Jamaican jerk chicken and the Pad Thai are amongst my favorite foodie ventures which never fail to disappoint. The staff are knowledgeable enough to recommend dishes to those not familiar with the variety on offer, and I've always found them to be well receptive of your needs. It is no wonder thus that I've found every branch is well occupied most nights. The success has garnered demand which sees more Franchises popping up slowly but surely all over this lovely Island of ours. The more the merrier I say because Rice is very much here to stay
