Absolutely delicious food. Everything is so tasty and fresh. The best Asian takeaway I’ve had outside of Asia. Look beyond the appearance of the slightly dated shop front. Be aware, you are paying for quality not quantity and enjoy some perfect Chinese food. Will be back ASAP
Given a choice of whatever food / restaurant / takeaway she could have for her Birthday, my Wife chose a Man’s Chinese Takeaway. As usual, we weren’t disappointed. Absolute banquet. The new Katsu Skewers were amazing, and our vegetarian friend loved the Karokee!
Thanks so much to everyone at Mans X
We haven't had take away in a long time as my wife is Gluten intolerant and it's always a risk. Tonight we both fancied Chinese and called Man's. We'll, Bobby the chef came to the phone and really could not have been more helpful and understanding. He warned us there could be traces but we had an awesome takeaway and all good. Highly recommended. Thanks.
First time having a Chinese since moving to Alton and my colleague recommended here. And we were not disappointed!
Ordered the chicken curry, which had a rich flavour, the chicken in satay sauce, had a lovely kick and so peanuty. And also got the teriyaki udon, was so delicious! Will definitely order from here again! Thank you :)
We have used Man’s for years now and they still continue to change things up and keep improving things whenever they can, best Chinese take out in Alton!
We have been in Alton for 8 years and tried lot many take outs. Our go to place for a freshly cooked and healthy meal is Man's Chinese in Alton.
The quality of their food is brilliant and in the eight years we have never had a bad experience. Our six year old loves their chicken gyozas. You have got to try it.
I encourage you to read Bobby's story and appreciate his passion for cooking dishes with fresh produce and seasonal ingredients.
The food was great as always - and the ordering was easy and worked well. I was told when to collect and it was ready.
By far the best Chinese in town. Are they the cheapest no, but you get what you pay for and they offer good value.
Great food, limited use of artificial colours and a focus on authentic flavours. The soul taste menu is a particular highlight: the bao are absolutely banging.
Delivery is always prompt.
The food is great, the staff are friendly, it's definitely the best Chinese takeaway in the area. The duck fried rice and the prawn toast are particular favourites with us.
I grew up in Alton but don't remember ever trying this place, and was pleasantly surprised to see they're still around. I'm back for a short visit after a decade in Toronto, where I'm spoiled for choice (two Chinatowns and a Korea town).
If this were in Toronto maybe I'd have given 3 stars, but for a smallish town in Hampshire I'm impressed, and either way I'd be tempted to try more of their menu. I'd have come back again this visit if they weren't closed for a couple of weeks.
I had the house special curry and the Korean seafood pancake.
The curry was unremarkably decent; I'd have to try more of their menu before I'd be tempted to circle back to it but that's more about me than the food.
The Korean seafood pancake solidly holds up to Korean food I've had in Toronto, and was welcome comfort food.
I might be doing my hometown a disservice but I honestly didn't expect to see kimchi anywhere in Alton. I should've asked if they sell it by the tub! It's a great side and a better ingredient.
I was treated to the meal by relatives, tired, and used to thinking in dollars and have been abroad for years, so can't offer useful comment on value for money.
I'd have been thrilled if they had Japchae/glass noodles... I think Alton is ready for that.
Most of the Chinese dishes that come to mind for "I'd have loved if they had..." statements probably woudn't be popular enough to be regular items. I'm sure locals would love congee if they tried it, but I don't know that "rice porage" is what most people are after when they want takeout (myself included if I'm honest; always been more of a dine-in go-to).
I'd also have loved if they had more vegetable sides. "They" in this case being "almost everywhere I find myself eating when I'm back in the UK", rather than Man's in particular... what's a guy got to do to get some gai lan around here?
Fantastic one of the best take aways other than china town in London
We normally go to a different takeaway in Alresford but wanted to branch out and tried Man's. Absolutely no regret. I love their pre-order service so I had a collection time confirmed before they officially opened for the evening. The food was absolutely delicious and a decent size. The Bao's were amazing. I would have taken a photo to upload but it was so good that it was all gone before I thought to take a photo! The nice thing was that we both felt full without being fit to explode.
Pretty good, great looking menu but I haven't had anything vegetarian that was great so far.
Update: The owner has taken the time to contact me and offered to help with menu choices that might suit me better, which I will do.
I think it's great that the owner cares enough to do this (this is Customer Care) therefore, I've edited my review to be more accurate truthful and fair.
My family who are not vegetarian say that they have enjoyed everything that they have tried and we will definitely go back!
Lovely hot food and not greasy, even the chicken balls were a perfect size and not dripping in fat. Collected as delivery was 90 minute wait but I'm guessing that just proves their popularity. They take card over the phone too which has always been a problem elsewhere.
Definitely will use them again.
Don’t let looks deceive you. A bit tatty from the outside but the food was very nice. Will use again.
Food was delicious! Great portion sizes. Very fresh and warm. Excellent amount of choice on menu. Will definitely order again. Sweet and sour sauce is especially tasty!
