Reviews in Manchester City Centre

One of my favourite greek restaurants. Meze's good but so are the chef specials - always worth looking. The atmosphere is great & I always leave feeling pleasantly full & chilled out.

I was a little apprehensive about going here after reading somewhat mixed reviews. I went with my parents and partner on a Thursday night for a graduation meal - a big event! I had booked a few weeks ago and they did not have my booking, yet despite this they led us to the bar where we had some drinks (great mojitos!) and they sorted us a good table in under 10 mins. We had a shared starter of cerviches which although small were excellent - the prawns with coconut was outstanding! The service was excellent, bread with dips on the table delicious. We all had steak and it was fantastic. The only reservation I had is they tend to cook it on the rare side, I ordered mine medium rare but it came rare. I sent it back and it was no problem, even came with a fresh salad. Bill came to £134.00 for 3 starters, 4 mains, and 2 sides, 3 desserts (pancakes - lovely) and a good few drinks - wines, beer and cocktails. Ambience was great, although needs to be busy - which it was. Decor fantastic, in a lovely old methodist church. Would go again - try it!

Good food and service and an interesting wine list - just a little on the pricey side.

This was our second visit to EastzEast, the last one was over a year ago. We were pleased that the food and the service was just as good as the first time. We especially liked the fact that the curries were not swimming in oil. We will certainly visit it again.

Excellent food, shame that the portion sizes were slightly on the small side.

Very very expensive!!! Service was interesting too... we were told that our choice of "rare" for a ribeye steak was not acceptable!!!! Food is good but don't believe all the hype. It's not worth what it costs but we'll probably go back at some stage since it probably is the best steak house in Manchester (although we haven't tried that many.)

I have eaten in the Leeds branch of Chaophraya several times and it was amazing every time. We went to the Manchester branch on a saturday for my birthday. The food was good, very fresh and full of amazing flavours, but definitely less plentiful than in Leeds. One other thing that really disappointed me was the liquor coffee! At Leeds they make it on a small trolley right next to your table and it's very entertaining! So I persuaded everyone to try one and after spotting the trolley near the bar thought I was in for the same treat. Sadly the coffees were just brought over as in every other restaurant and we never saw them being made. So all in all the best Thai in Manchester by far, but I'm hoping they take on a few more ideas from the original branch to give it that extra special something...

Great place to go with a party - brilliant atmosphere and the staff always go out of their way to ensure you have a good time. Try the Cheesecake - the waiter recommended it and true to his word it was amazing!!

I've eaten at Chaophraya both in my lunch hour and in an evening. Both times the service and food have been out of this world. Chaophraya has fast become my favourite restaurant in Manchester.

We eat here regularly because of the excellent quality of food and service. A fantastic restaurant!

I have never been to a more superbly splendid restaurant; the food was divine and the service simply exquisite. I shall not bore you with details, but suffice to say the interior was aesthetically pleasing and the atmosphere lively and à la mode. Having doffed my napkin, I was faced with the bill - on the word of my associates, I had expected a severe dent in my bank balance. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover nothing short of a reasonable price... The perfect end to a perfect evening. Bon appetite.

Emphasis, food wise, is on quality - certainly the tapas and burgers are a few chef's hats away from the usual standard. Portions are generous and there is a warm, friendly and casual atmosphere helped along by beers from Bazens and the Marble Brewery and a jukebox from heaven.

I have to say, Panama Hattys has now become top of the list for me in dining experiences. It does exactly 'what it says on the tin.' It serves wholesome food in a very comfortable environment, with service as important as its quality of food and drink. It casts aside pretentiousness. The food portions are huge, the price is reasonable, and what? more, the staff don? buzz around you for the entire evening, but yet, are always on hand if you require anything. They are warm and friendly, while also being professional. I have sat in the lounge after my meal a few times and had many a conversation with staff or management, they really are that approachable, which in my eyes, tops the experience off nicely. The range of food choice is immense, something for everyone. The chefs know how to combine the correct amount of spices and ingredients (i once asked for my Lamb Goreng to be given some extra heat, and this was done with no fuss, and tasted fab). The bar staff were able to make cocktails for us that weren? on the menu, and even talked us through how to create them at home (which I do, but they still don? quite come out as good) I really want this place to stay as one of my hidden little gems, but I feel I now have a duty to give it the credit it deserves and spread the word. See for yourself.

Fantastic!!! Strongly recommend to anyone and everyone! The best dining experience my girlfriend and I have had in our lives.

A really enjoyable experience. It can be a gamble when trying new cuisine but the staff are very helpful, and when food is cooked as well as it is here, the adventure can be a delight. Highly recommended for something a little different, done very well.

I used to love Chinese food, but after so many disappointing meals in countless faceless Chinese restaurants, I lost my love. I wasn't sure what to expect from Pacific but I was very pleasantly surprised. The menu is one of the best I have seen in a Chinese restaurant. Great mixes and a wide selection. Service was a little ropey but the quality of the food more than made up for it. This restaurant alone has genuinely reignited my love for Chinese food. Fantastic!

Great food, not that great service. Seems to be a little inconsistent. Do try the ostrich fillet - it's fantastic. Not so sure about the Kobe fillet - at £50 a pop it's overpriced and not a little underwhelming.

Great for lunch. Menu has changed slightly over the last year or so. In my opinion it's not as good and the range has certainly been shrunk, but it's still a good place with decent service.
