Foods are amazing, we had a blast time enjoying our lunch there. Though we didn't get to go to pick our fresh live seafood but we trusted the restaurant to provide fresh seafood anyway. The prawn doesn't taste like it's the same day old level of fresh but with the vermicelli is still super tasty with the sauce and it goes well with fried rice.
We came here for Lunar New year and had the best time ever. We ordered a ton of seafood - the lobster was immaculate, I would also strongly recommend the crab & any of the fish dishes. Winter melon & clam soup was phenomenal. Pork belly, tong Choi & cumin lamb not pictured here but also excellent. The service was great, we had a room to ourselves. We split the bill between 5 of us and the cost was very good for the amount of amazing food that we had. We can't wait to come back here!
If you are a seafood lover. This is a must place to visit. Amazing seafood in delicious Chinese flavours.
Really enjoyed our meal here and would definitely recommend to anyone that likes fresh seafood.
Pricing seemed reasonable considering the quality of the food.
Will look forward to returning to try some more items from the menu.
Staff were absolutely wonderful. The food is awesome, Amazing experience the personal room you get was even more awesome. The food is very picky so the personal room you get is an amazing idea. You have to prebook before you go. The more you pay the better it is, more meat. Check the menu online before you go.
The best seafood restaurant in Manchester!! . Good sized portions for the price you pay, great service and excellent food. Really couldn't fault anything.. Love the fact we get our own private dining room, We will be back!! 😁
Amazing! 10/10, staff were polite, helpful to recommend and suggest some great dishes, all fresh, absolutely incredible! Couldn't be more authentic, will be back!!
Brilliant seafood, best Chinese seafood I’ve ever had in the UK.
If you desire for good seafood extends beyond the neighbourhood chippy, then the first thing on mind is the fresher the better.
Enter the live tank restaurant.
Although ubiquitous East of the subcontinent, it’s amazing that Greater Manchester has survived for so long without. While Randall & Aubin, the oyster catcher and other good speciality restaurants offer up decent fair at a premium, they are trumped (no presidential pun intended) by the breath of this restaurant’s offerings.
The decor is strictly utilitarian and in these times, the segregation provided by individual rooms means that you can relax in safe surroundings as you gorge on frutas de Mer in the same way as the Walrus and Carpenter.
The seafood soup with winter melon was sublime. The brown crab in ginger and garlic was succulent and to my mind, far superior to the subtle flavours of lobster with glass noodles.
The slight blemish had to be the scallops with black bean as the underlying scallops were overwhelmed by the flavouring.
Live seafood as the name suggests is really the only way to go. Ignore the lack of salubrious surroundings. Accept no substitutes.
I decided to go all out for Chinese New Year and I don't regret it. The seafood here is amazing and very fresh. The biggest oysters and scallops I've ever seen in England. The salt and pepper crab was great too and so was the squid in Sichuan sauce (only order this sauce if you like spicy food though).
BEST PLACE for seafood in Manchester. Love the karaoke room too! Very reasonably priced and staff are so friendly!
Can be a bit hit and miss, but the last few times it’s been pretty decent. Match-day chippy ideal for a snack before a City game. Good portions and generally quick service.
We had Chinese hotpot when we came in here, although you only get a set menu for it, it was amazing! The amount of different seafood and ingredients you get for the price is so good and everything was fresh out of the tanks. Don’t let it put you off on how it looks inside because honestly it’s better than other nicely decorated hotpot restaurants I’ve been to in Manchester
We dined with a Chinese family. They ordered and we ate - absolutely fabulous particularly as we ate dishes we would not have ordered ourselves.
The separate dining room was very comfortable, safe and added to the experience.
We will be going back and will be more adventurous when ordering!
Nicest Donna Meat I've Had In A long Time And Decent Price Too, Wouldnt Trust Any Other Place For Kebabs 💯
The only restaurant in Manchester (or even the UK) which serves such freshly prepared seafood in the most authentically Chinese style you could imagine. It really is a taste of home being a Hong Kong native, reminiscent of live seafood stalls you see in Sai Kung. This place does not get enough rave and I for one am lucky to call this a local hidden gem for us.
