Manchu WOK - Nanaimo

A complete ripoff location for food court Chinese food4 shrimps with a few bits of broccoli and cabbageNot an experience that I need to try again.

Other than friendly service, the food is your typical all day warmed food. I don't believe anything was prepared here, just heat and serve. All the food did for me was to 'fill the hole'. We just shared the 2 entree plate - noodles with stir fry veggies, nothing really to report here.

I thought I'd try Manchu again after along hiatus. Food is still the same, total garbage. I believe they use unsold product from the day before, cold wilted broccoli, in the hot veggies. Get real people!

New owner cooks awesome Chinese food.Since this June, the new owner runs the new Manchu Wok Restaurant. The taste seems good Chinese restaurants' one. Please try them and compare with the Chinese food that you have had at other chinese restaurants and at deli of stores

While staying in Waikiki on a winter holiday, I discovered Panda Express at the RHSC. I loved their fresh, healthy & flavorful Chinese food. I was shopping at Woodgrove Shopping Center, Nanaimo & saw that their food court had a Chinese restaurant called the Manchu wok. As I was craving Chinese food, I decided to give it a try. I ordered the fried noodles & the orange chicken. The noodles were dry & tasteless and greasy at the same time. Quite a feat! I could not taste any chicken in the dry, chewy deep-fried, lumps of dough. The sauce was over-the-top sweet with no citrus flavor, no oranges, & very salty. After a couple of bites, I discarded my meal in the garbage. Never, again! I could have had a fresh, healthy & tasty meal at Opa, of Greece or Umi Sushi at the same food court.
