Stopped by Hello Oriental and really enjoyed it overall. The dumplings were the highlight - nicely cooked with great texture and flavour, especially satisfying fresh and hot. Perfect comfort food. The tea was also very good, served in beautiful cups and ideal for takeaway or sipping while you wander. A great option if youβre after something warming and not overly sweet. We also tried the cucumber salad, which was super refreshing and light - nice balance of crunch and seasoning, and a great side to go with the dumplings.

This is a personal comfort spot. Wide range of cuisines although thereβs still more to try. I have tried the chicken and beef pho aswell as the duck noodle soup and I found that the broth tasted similar for all of them. I was a big fan of the pho however, the duck noodle soup was difficult to eat because the duck has bones in them. I had my fair share of ordering Korean fried chicken and chips from here and although it tasted nice, it was quite chewy and hard, Iβm assuming overcooked but this was a constant reoccurrence so I stopped getting them. The chilli burger is also extremely spicy (as in the same) but sooo incredibly oily. Wouldnβt recommend. The katsu curry is good and the salt pepper fries as well as the kimchi fries. I personally think the pricing for a portion of jasmine rice (Β£4) to eat with some beef is ridiculous. The meal goes up to Β£17 and i would say thatβs probably better spent on something or somewhere else. The reason I keep the rating high is because I love the atmosphere/ambience. Itβs warm cosy and thereβs anime on the tv. The music usually is a vibe and the convenience of ordering from a QR code with pictures of the food is great too.

The service was amazing and the atmosphere was really nice but the food was a let-down. My friend and I ordered the Crispy Chilli Shredded Beef (Β£13) and the Kimchi Cheese Fries (Β£10) and they didn't taste as nice as I expected, especially considering the price. The beef tasted like ketchup and wasn't spicy at all and the chips tasted like regular cheese fries- I couldn't taste the kimchi at all. However, the portion sizes were quite large. There's also a 10% service charge which I wasn't aware of but is fine considering how helpful the servers were.

Amazing food and very friendly service. I was really surprised by how lovely the food was. Normally, Pan-Asian places in food courts are hit and miss. The portion was very generous (I even had to take some with me)! Manchester turned out to be a great place to visit, with lovely food and a nice vibe to the city.

A really interesting concept, as we went in expecting a food court. We were greeted by a very friendly and helpful waitress who went out of her way to ensure we knew how to order, and suggesting where best to sit as the air conditioning was unfortunately not working. The food was fantastic, so much to choose from, all ordered via a QR code on the table - we were also given a paper menu to make it easier to browse through. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and so tasty. Loved the boozy fruit slushies too

Love it, I have always leant towards oriental food, and sometimes quality is where most places lack. Not here. Every dish as a couple we had was very nice, of good quality and was generous in portion size. Was really easy to order, just sat, scanned and ordered, food came pretty quick as well. Total bill was Β£54, this was for: 2 x Main Meals 2 x Sides 1 x Bubble Tea 1 x Beer Pint Which I felt for the quality and portions size was fair. Lovely atmosphere as well, set over three floors, the market was small and a little pricey, I would advise China Town has more options for that sort of thing.

Had an amazing lunch at this new Asian food court in circle square. The duck fries were addictive and worth the visit alone. We also had the prawn toast which was home made along with beef noodles . The only let down was the lack of soup in the soup dumplings. Will be coming back to sample the rest of the menu as it all looks good.

Started following their Instagram page and had to try it out especially when I saw how cute the ice-cream cones were. Easy to order and pay for on your phone from your table (we ordered to takeout.) The service was quick, staff were friendly. Food smelled and tasted amazing. Love, love, love the ice-creams! You get large portions, well worth the money. Highly recommend the place.

A wonderful concept that caters for all. Hello oriental has 3 floors of eateries. As soon as you walk in you are welcomed by fresh baked and fresh coffee. Go down one floor to rice paper pho. But all the action happens on the lowest level. Place your order at the table and it comes as it's ready. Fast service, fab selection and a halal friendly menu. And if that isn't enough you can also pick up groceries in their supermarket. What more could you ask for.

It was a lovely setting and had a nice interior. Personally felt the food was all too dry for me. Flavourful but dry. Customer service was good, enjoyed the little store at the bottom too. Good thing is if you order a fruit tea, you can take the cup home!
