Tai Wu

This is definately a Chinese Chinese, rather than an English one, if that makes sense?! By this I mean that whilst they cater for Western tastes and serve Western food on request, the vast majority of the clientelle in this place are Chinese, and this shows. It very much reminds me of a Hong Kong restaurant, whereby its more functional than an event.

The food is good quality, and Ive never had a bad meal here. The portions tend to be massive too. Also, the Dim Sum, if served between 12 and 4 are an absolute steal, as they are half price, and again, of very good quality.

Also, theres a very very popular buffet in the basement, which is fantastic as far as buffets go, if you can stand the crowds. £5 for all you can eat until 4pm in the week, or £8 all day Sunday, with cripsy duck included, and you can easily eat more than your share of food for the price!

Without doubt the best 'every day' priced Chinese in the city centre, where you definately get MORE what what you pay for.

Don't go to Tai Wu for the buffet - you go for the Dim Sum. It's brilliant quality and such good prices. A good chinese is always easy to spot because it is full of Chinese people and on a Sunday you have to queue its that popular. I love it here

Brought my daughter on her birthday to the buffet bar plus 10 guest. Food was sub-standard. Service was very poor. tried to rush us out when people were still eating. One of our guest had to leave early. She wanted to pay her share by credit card. Waiter rudely told us we had to pay all the bill up front. We refused because we were not finished. Guest ended up leaving to go to bank atm to get money to pay her share by cash. Will not be recommending restaurant.

I love this place. If you come here you have to come on a Saturday or Sunday lunch time for a real authentic Dim Sum experience. It is full of Chinese people (which is always a good sign!) and is excellent vlaue for money ~ £1.60 for each portion.

For authentic Chinese food this place really one of the best restaurants in Manchester. The Dim Sum menu is especially worth a try, the best time to visit is Saturday or Sunday afternoon when the dim sum is served direct from trolleys which constantly circulate the ground floor dining area. It affords an opportunity to dine on authentic dim sum at reduced price served direct to the table at any time when a trolley is in the vicinity. Not only is there a very wide choice of dishes available but at this time of day they also come at a reduced price without any compromise in quality. An superb venue for a highly enjoyable and reasonable Chinese meal
