    Sakana is pretty amazing for both ambience and food. I enjoyed it that much I have hired the…read moreupstairs for my wedding reception venue. The food is classed as pan asian which is great as I love all asian food. However, the sushi, although very good, I feel it is slightly overpriced for what you get. The duck, especially at lunch, is amazing value though. Plenty for 2 to share. This is definitely a place to try out if you love asian food.

    Bit of a disclaimer with this one: sit us in a restaurant with a 50% January discount and of course…read morewe're going to order twice the amount of dishes - but it's healthy, omega-packed Pan-Asian cuisine, so it's completely acceptable... My first visit to Sakana and I was pleasantly surprised at how its interior looked (more so the delicious smells wafting over as you passed by their open kitchen). We were seated in a corner with decent views of the goings-on, and set about conquering the menu - the group was almost military in its tactics, dividing the menu's sections between ourselves to make sure we got to sample lots of different dishes. Three of us ordered a bottle of their house red (a Merlot) which was actually quite good - a bit on the peppery side but I really liked it. The food started to arrive after a bit of a wait, but we'd had some prawn crackers to whet our appetite. The sashimi platter that I ordered for us all to share was a bit disappointing (usual price £28 for 15 pieces). I can't think of anything else that was particularly underwhelming; the combo of orders was all rather good - but the highlights for me were the Taiwanese buns which you could have with shredded duck or pork belly (we ordered both). These were absolutely heavenly, for want of a better word. Service was friendly, if not a tad haphazard at times; it's definitely somewhere to consider for date night. That being said, you'd have to be happy 'flashing the cash' as I don't think it's worth the full price they'd ordinarily be charging diners.

    Don't you just hate having too much choice,and making the wrong one? Well that's what happened to…read moreme and Mrs Z in the 7th circle of hell (The Trafford Centre) yesterday. 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.

    Once upon a time not so long ago, one man had a dream. A dream about rice, a dream which stemmed…read morefrom his love for the delicious cereal grain. 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

    I'd been told good things about this restaurant by a few other people, I love Chinese food and…read moredecided to give it a go.. the restaurant itself was a little dark when we walked through the door but a little into the meal they pulled the blinds up and with it being a glorious day out and the windows big, it really brightened the place up. I won't lie the prices are a little steep.. I got salt and pepper squid tentacles at £7.90.. to be fair it was the only one we considered worth the money because the squid was nice and soft and you got a nice crisp from the thin coating on the outside, it tasted really nice but it was a little dry because it came with no dipping sauce or anything just to make it easier to swallow. We also ordered the ma lat beef, which tasted nice too but didn't have a kick when it said it was supposed to be spicy.. harbour king prawns which was also dry but in its defence i think it was supposed to be like that because the king prawns in it were beautifully cooked. The chicken in black bean sauce tasted nice and also the the won tons from the mixed starter to share were very good.. they did charge over £5 for a portion of bean sprouts and also the house special rice cost over £10. All in all I'd give it 3.5 stars but I though giving it three stars on here wouldn't be fair to knock their rating down. They also add on an optional 10% service charge onto your bill, so if you don't want to pay it then you have to check your bill properly, we chose to pay ours because in the end.. it was a nice evening out.

    Absolutely my favourite restaurant. Every family birthday is celebrated with a meal at Zen because…read moreit is simply the best. My only problem is choosing between the aromatic duck or the chowmein!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE PS. THE RIBS ARE AMAZING TOO!

We decided on Asian food and found ourselves at Wokooshii. The staff were lovely and attentive, the actual venue is very well decorated and pretty huge inside. I would actually give the food a 2.5 as the edamame beans weren't seasoned and the sizzling udon dishes were too salty. I wouldn't go back personally given the choice on offer at the Trafford centre. It's always packed so they must be doing something right, it just didn't do it for me. They add a 10% tip on to the bill as a rule which annoyed me a bit as the food wasn't great but we did the British thing and smiled and paid! Then moaned after :) They part cook the sizzling udon at your table which is fun, I'm glad we tried it.
