Hi

We are planning a trip to Manchester and wander if anyone can suggest a great chinese restaurant in China Town for lunch. We would like a buffet style set menu or similar with good prices and good food, has to be children friendly.

Many thanks

They are pretty much all child friendly and virtually all do set lunches (usually as a "businessman's lunch").

Not sure if they do a set lunch, but I always like the Little Yang Sing. Make sure you have some DimSum - Mmmmm beef dumplings with ginger and spring onion!

Some are more child friendly and less expansive than others, if you want a good deal try the Buffet City on Portland Street.

Provided you don't mind tripping over Man Utd football players, I'd highly recommend this one:- http://www.wingsrestaurant.co.uk/

The Yang Sing (not the Little Yang Sing which is nice) is by far the best, but it isn't that cheap! Better at lunch though and nice for kids. If you can afford it I would recommend it, it's one of the best Chinese restaurants in the country (in my opinion).

The Little Yang Sing do a two course lunch for £9.95 -that's soup or dim sum then a main course. You can have soup, plus dim sum and a main course for £11.95. They do add on a 10% service charge.It's on Charlotte st.The chicken with lemon and honey is lovely.

If you want a buffet the Pan Asia on Faulkener st is quite good.

We ate in the Little Yang Sing today and there were children eating there.

Hi, I've been working close to China Town in Manchester for over 5 years and am also of Oriental descent so should hopefully know my stuff

!

Please, please, please ignore those people who recommend the Yang Sing. It is trading from a reputation which is decades old and is not a true reflection of the shoddy service and high prices which it doles out now.

If you're looking for a good value lunch served in a buffet style, I would visit Pan Asia. It is a really good restaurant situated opposite the entrance to the main car park in China Town. It does a really good quality buffet at £7.95 for adults and and £4.50 for children. Check out the typical menu here http://www.pan-asia.co.uk/buffet.htm

The food is very good as it reverts to a normal a la carte restaurant in the evening and all the food is cooked fresh and has a speedy turnover. We've been going there regularly for years at lunchtimes.

If you are going in the evening, I would recommend either the New Emporer ar the New Hong Kong which offer a good authentic mix of foods.
