The Rice Bowl - Manchester

Poor service and couldn't care less attitude. Took order, agreed 90 mins wait time as busy but then advised they had cancelled order after we chased up after 100 mins as couldn't facilitate order (For 2 people).Asked to speak to manager and call was disconnected.

I don't know where to start. Nearly 2 hour's delivery time. All starters were bland, chewy and cold. The mains were horrendous. All grey coloured food that my dog would turn it's nose up at. Even the prawn crackers are tasteless. I really can't get over how colourless, tasteless and souless this food is. Dumplings chewy and tasteless, Salt and pepper chicken was like chewing on rubber and the special fried rice was grey coloured and tasteless NEVER EVER AGAIN........my rating 0.5/10

It might be difficult for people with disabilities to get inside but I am sure there would be a way in for them. The restaurant is clean and inviting and the menu has something for everybody. Staff are friendly and look after you all the way.

They have a set menu for £13.95. So far so good, but unless you want a spring roll and chicken everything is extra. What's all that about? There are more things on the set menu that have a surcharge than those that don't.. Why not have a set menu at £15.95 with a discount on some dishes? It's no more absurd than having a fixed price menu where everything is extra.

A good Chinese restaurant if you like standard westernised chinese and not more ethnic specialities you find elswhere in the city centre. Service usually good but can be slower when very busy. Restaurant tends to attract shoppers rather than foodies.
