Tung Fong — Restaurant in Salford

I grew up eating Szechuan food at least four days a week and later worked in the gastro industry myself. Tung Fong is fantastic: and as authentic as anything I've had anywhere else. You could believe you're in southwest China if only it was a lot noisier and maybe not quite as polite.

The selection is large, unlike most "Chinese" restaurants, and the menu is thankfully missing a dozen or two versions of fried chicken, dreadful curries, chips, "mixed grill", and other awfulness. The menu also isn't a few pages of Protein+Sauce. Tung Fong's sauces are matched to the meats, seafood, tofu & veg, and there are a lot of specialty dishes.

I only have minor complaint: the place is somewhat pricey but I've been told by others that's due in part to the area. They do offer a decent good discount for take-away and another few points off for cash payment -- basically making up for the card charges they don't have to pay. The other problem is what they're passing off as "General Tso's chicken". It's everything that General Tso's Chicken ISN'T. Wrong sauce wrong veg,, wrong flavours, and even the chicken isn't prepped correctly. But everything else I had was fantastic.

If I hit the lottery, I'm coming to stay in Manchester until I've worked my way through this menu. If you're within 20 miles of Worsley, it's worth the detour. You really don't want to...

Have been eating there for years, took my best mate for dinner as a Christmas treat. Food was good, but service terrible. We arrived at 8.20PM on a Thursday evening ordered 3 starters and 3 mains to share. Starters arrive which were nice, but after eating them we asked for a 10 min break before the mains, to which we were told NO. Mains arrived and @ 9.40 we were told they were closing and the staff stood and looked at us and watched us eat our meal. Really not nice. I paid the £112.00 bill and we left. This is the worst place for staff attitude both my mate and I have ever been exposed too. Pity Jo [ Manager] was not around. Will never dine there again- They could have said when taking the order that they were closing @ 10PM and not to order so much food, but no they took the money !!!!...

I recently dined at Tung Fong Chinese Restaurant and unfortunately, I was left disappointed. While the ambiance was pleasant and the service was satisfactory, the quality of the food fell short of expectations. The chow mein I ordered was subpar; the noodles were dried out, which significantly impacted the overall taste and texture. It's disappointing to receive a dish that doesn't meet basic standards, especially in a Chinese restaurant where noodles are a staple. Improvement is needed in ensuring the freshness and quality of ingredients for a more satisfying...
