Plymouth Grove Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Manchester

I was looking forward to this after rave reviews. In all honesty staff were fantastic, really lovely and friendly which is not often in Chinese restaurants where you are hardly spoken to, wanted to give an extra star for service but food was not amazing. We spent about £28 and usually prawn crackers are thrown in which would have been nice. Food itself, ordered mix crispy starter for 2 which was about £7 found the ribs very tough but salt and pepper wings were delicious! Ordered pork and duck off the standard menu expecting the Chinese roast duck and pork you see in Windows in china town, what i received was ok meat in sauce nothing special. There is a traditional chinese menu (with english) THATs the one you want! But was too late by the time i saw it. Also odered fried rice and singapore noodles which were good. Food seemed to be prepared fresh. Portions standard/largish. Expected more, perhaps it's better when you eat in. I'd visit and try the traditional menu if I was...

I've given Plymouth Grove Chinese restaurant 5 stars, today's visit was just for a quick lunch date with my husband following a prior meeting, and it being lovely, and the staff extremely helpful & friendly, all housed in a beautiful building in Manchester, it's not exactly The Ivy😄.

Tbh the Ivy do have the most unaesthetic uniform for their staff, and a diners dress code and I can't condone that! Therefore does The Ivy deserve all of the positive credit it receives?🤔

Not if I can't just nip in for lunch regardless of my attire after prior engagements, as I would have done last month following the Leonidas😋 purchases around the corner, there was nothing wrong with my attire, I wouldn't have been at the late monarch's favourite chocolate purveyor's establishment in anything less than she'd approve of.

So there👅 Plymouth Grove Chinese restaurant deserves 5 stars🤩 much more than The Ivy ever did!👅

Thank you very much Plymouth Grove Chinese restaurant, lunch was...

Worst Chinese I’ve ordered from I’ve ordered from her a few times and every single time they never come correct. I ordered food for my family and asked for S&P chicken pieces and made clear I want pieces not wings after I done my order I got her to repeat it and she said pieces they sent wings,looked uncooked and was greasy as anything , the food come after 1hr 40 min wait the food was barely warm when it come I had to heat it in the microwave then I called back and was told it will be a half hour wait for them to send the chicken pieces although annoyed I waited and after 30 min they blanked my calls and never turned up TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!!! Never again they need to...
