Was Anonym at Man's a mag?
The staff was incredibly friendly, and the food was delicious, with generous portions. The interior is very modern and spotlessly clean. I highly recommend this place! View all feedback.
What 18Dominic dislikes about Man's:
Service wasn't efficient but the waiting staff tried their best I guess. The majority of the dishes were okay. Pak choi was overcooked. The mange tout was undercooked. One dish was far from its intended flavour (too sweet when it should be savoury) that two thirds was uneaten. This was Friday at 7.30pm., a peak time for diners, but the restaurant was less than half full. If only they employ a proper Cantonese cuisine... View all feedback.

The food was excellent! I particularly loved the deep-fried squid. The Ho Fung with soy sauce and beef was also fantastic! I really enjoyed the sticky rice too.
Went Saturday lunchtime very busy but service exelent and food very nice. No waiting shown straight to a table and order taken. Good value for money.
Never going there again. The waitress clearly didn't have a full grasp of English as we had to show her what we wanted on the menu. She also didn't...
This restaurant presents a stark contrast in dining experiences, leaving patrons feeling disappointed and frustrated. While a select few have enjoyed decent cuisine and attentive service, numerous reports highlight an alarming decline in quality. Overcooked dishes, misleading menus, and inadequate hygiene practices contribute to an overall negative atmosphere. Customers have experienced unresponsive staff, long waits, and food that fails to meet even basic expectations. Despite its potential, this establishment has struggled to maintain consistency and care for its patrons, leading many to advise against a visit. Choose wisely and consider alternatives for a rewarding dining experience.

The restaurant des mannes serves a good selection of dim cums and Chinese dishes that have a greater part than normal. eating is very tasty. this restaurant was officially known as china china. the staff are friendly and have a beautiful interieur. it can be a venue for high times.
I had a delicious meal in a relaxed and beautiful atmosphere. The staff was attentive without being intrusive. I appreciated not feeling rushed, which is important to me when dining alone and taking a break from the business world.
The food is good here. Very much like the dim sum we are used to eating. They ran out of shrimp dumplings which isn’t a big deal as we came late. Speaking of which, we waited about 15 minutes for a table when we arrived for late lunch (around 2:30pm). We were fine with waiting as we weren’t hungry (we had a late breakfast). When we paid, since we are not used to the non-tipping culture in the UK, it was interesting to be told the total and then presented with the machine to pay. There was no tipping prompt like in Toronto restaurants (especially no prompt for a 30% tip). I was able to use my American Express in Apple Pay. I would come again if presented with the opportunity.
I would recommend ordering the turnip paste cake, shrimp and pork dumplings and the beef stir-fry with the wide noodle. All very tasty.
Authentic Hong Kong-style dim sum and dishes that are both delicious and visually appealing. I feel confident returning for more!

Tasty food, relatively well priced. Clean and tidy restaurant, polite service. Fairly small menu for a chinese restaurant but clearly focused on the quality rather than quantity of dishes!
We booked a table for 8 people to celebrate a birthday on 17th Feb at 7.30pm. When we arrived the restaurant was closed and in complete darkness. No sign of life and no notice on the door. I tried to telephone and there was no answer, no option to leave a message either. So I emailed for an explanation and still no answer. This was very unprofessional and unacceptable. Man’s… your loss was Las Iguanas gain. We will never even try to come back. No way to treat your customers.
We pre-booked here to celebrate a big birthday and regretted it. The service was shocking, no welcome on arrival, no friendless or smiles just pointing and had to keep asking for them to come over. When ordering drinks they didn’t have much stock and again had to keep chasing up as well as having to ask multiple times for dishes that were missing. Half of the table had finished there food before the other even arrived and when it did it wasn’t anything special. There was not enough food for the amount of people ordered on the set menu, it was cold and majority of it was onion and found a hair in the rice which just topped it off.
Rubbish. Booked ahead for a Chinese New Year treat kids looking forward to it and we'd been incredibly busy with work that day. What a let down. We were left waiting for an hour with hungry (but well behaved) children in a restaurant not even half full. They did have a very busy take out operation going on though, which is clearly more important to them. Awful food. As a lover of gongbaojiding, I was gutted to be served a dish containing 50% boiled carrots, no chilli, and about four soggy bits of cashew nut with no apparent gongbao seasoning a sprinkle of white pepper at best. I'd been looking forward to the duck on the bone too but it was luke warm when it reached the table perhaps explained by the hour long wait. Appalling worst Chinese food I've had in the UK. Asked to speak to the manager but never saw them. Don't waste your money here.
Probably the worst non dining experience that I have ever had. There are multiple menus on the window of the restaurant, probably a red flag in itself, with some tempting Cantonese dishes. However, when we sat down at our table we were presented with a menu with none of the dishes that initially attracted us. The tablecloth was also very stained and although apparently clean was obviously not changed regularly, probably just wiped over, although a 5 star hygiene rating was displayed at the front of the restaurant . My wife and I thought, ok let’s try and find something as being Chinese she was looking forward to some good Cantonese cuisine. We ordered some dishes and wine and water. The wine list gave no indication of the provenance of the wine, another red flag I shouldn’t have ignored. The wine arrived and to be frank seemed to be watered down, it was frankly terrible. We were then advised that the starter we ordered wasn’t available, we selected another dish and were then told that yet another dish wasn’t available. At this point with the poor hygiene, stained tablecloths, terrible drinks and obvious complete lack of care of the restaurant we decided to cut our losses and leave as the likelihood of receiving some decent food seemed extremely unlikely. We did offer to pay for the wine and water as we felt bad that for the first time ever we had to leave a restaurant without eating and they happily accepted payment, even though the wine was barely touched. Please avoid this restaurant, they just don’t care and have absolutely no consideration for their clients or it seems their reputation. The food if anything like the wine and service would have been terrible so for the sake of £15.00 we had a lucky escape.

Trip up to Nottingham from Bristol, booked for large party as friends birthday. Very disappointed in the service, had to chase a few dishes after being brought everything out. Some food was really nice, other dishes were OK. Got overcharged after struggling to get staff attention. Not the cleanest of places and in need of a bit of tlc.
This is the best Chinese dim sum restaurant in the UK! The duck and barbecue pork are a must-try if you are visiting for the first time. All the dim sum options are excellent and perfect for a family outing. Overall, the experience is very good.
