The 16 best spots for chicken in Stretford

Delicious food! We had some savoury waffles and the wedge salad, which had a lovely sauce and bacon while still feeling light and fresh. There were aerosol deodorants and sanitary products available to use in the bathrooms, extremely thoughtful!

We came here on the hottest day ever extremely hungover and in misery looking for a pick me up. We were drawn in by the friendly staff and the hope of air conditioning and a chill vibe. This did not disappoint. The area is amazing the vibes are on point. The staff are excellent and really helpful. They even helped us decide where to go after. The food is just the cherry on top. Love it. Get a combo platter. We will be back.

food is usually and still is banging from here and is always what has made me come to Manchester in the first place!, however on this occasion I changed my usually order from just the thighs , to the mac attack burger! It was initially so so good until I started to reach the end and it was the chewiest most horrible chicken imaginable, upon further inspection grey and pink inside- very worrying. I would say it was due to the “thigh” meat that was being used but previously I have just ordered thighs and never had this issue, also portion size smaller than i remember 😔major let down and made me very cautious of coming back to one of my favourites, cannot fault staff and service, and had a very nice guest lager which was reasonably priced for Manchester 💖

Got a burger and chips, with a side of tenders which came to £25. Value for money was really poor. The chicken itself has no flavour and the breading was soggy, the best bit about the meal was the chips that it came with. Only positive was that the service was good. A man named Sufyan was our waiter and was very kind and chatty. There was an error with our drinks order so he cancelled them off the bill, which was extremely kind of him. I can’t say that I would return for food any time soon, it was very disappointing - and with Almost Famous, Bunny Jackson’s and Nell’s being on the same street, I’d rather go there

We hadnt planed to go here but very happy we did. Service as you would expect likewise food. Not too busy a nice relaxed vibe. Would pop in again.

Delicious food spot! Loved every bite and some good options for everyone. Would recommend.

Came on a Wednesday, atmosphere was great and the staff could not have been more helpful. I came with a party of three and we all chose different cocktails: the pistachio creamtini, punch bowl and the bloodline spritz were especially good. Food was sublime and served quickly. Really reasonably priced - 10/10 would recommend

Food was average, too oily, momos were tasteless and so was the chutney, noodles were good. The chicken and pork quality is good however the quantity of oil defeats the purpose of having a quality meal. And the free chai tea is the worst tea I ever had.

One of my absolute favourite places to eat in Manchester! The food is wholesome and comforting with extremely generous portions! The cauliflower is the star dish but all the curries are great. I love the complimentary sweet chai and the service is so friendly. Such a great neighbourhood spot ⭐️

So today I learnt- traditional tibetan momos are very different from those in Nepal/Bhutan/Sikkim. These momos were thick, fried and had very little filling. So, if you want to try the traditional Tibetan momos, visit this place. Personally, I hated them from the very depths of my soul. They seemed like fried Baos and had very little flavour and loads (and I mean loads) of oil. The three stars are for the authenticity of the place, not the taste... But I'll be back here to try the thupka - hopefully, I'll not learn anything new that day and would get to update my review!

Service was fantastic and really makes you feel at home, that alone may make you want to come back. The food itself, however, was quite disappointing as everything we tried severely lacked flavour. The momo's were okay but being Tibetan, are different to others you may have tried.

Delicious food, especially the beef momos! Having the food as a 'rice and three' meant we could sample a few different flavours - the chicken curry was the best! Service was quick and easy.

Ate here at least once a week for the last two years. Perfect food for any day of the week! Home made, fresh ingredients and big portions - what more could you want??

Wonderful experience in this restaurant. Food is delicious and authentic, the service is perfect.

Waste of money and time. The food was cold beyond what cold should be and the chips I believe we're just thrown in from the draining rack after being sat there for a few hours. The burgers were freezing cold and the wings absolutely disgusting. I asked for no onions and it still have nasty sliced onions in such a stupid way. Has the cost of a sprinkling of salt gone up in price as everything was lacking in salt or any type of seasoning. The beef patties were very dry and dense with no flavour and the wings had a slight sat in the heating oven for 3 hours smell which smelt funky. After hype of this place I think y'all need to reconsider your career choices!

It’s my first time with the restaurant. Fortunately, it was a nice experience through delivery service, as it was fast and I got warm fresh food. I ordered double cheesed burger, it was a good and delicious but too meaty as it has four layers of meat, therefore I preferred the cheesed burger which has only two layers of meat which also considered as a good portion sandwich. Also, I had one freebird chicken burger, it was fresh, simple and hot. It’s not the best but it was very good. All cost me around 30 pounds, but it was enough for 2 normal eaters.

Where do I even start?! The delicious cheesed burger - everything about this burger is a chef's kiss! The fresh salad, the sauce, the delicious patties, everything is just absolutely perfect! 😍🤌🏻The buffalo wings with blue cheese😍🤌🏻 the garlic ranch dip for the skin on fries😍🤌🏻 if you haven't tried this place, get yourself down here because I promise you, you will not regret it guys👌🏻

Ordered the bird box and the beef burger box. Chiken burger is good, but the burger was very small. The fries portion is good, but my order was missing 2 fries. The beef burger was dense. There was very little sauce on it. I heard the hype, but honesty, not that impressed. Too much expensive and small portions.

I would of if you sent me the correct burger! Love this place too but uber eats won't even give me a refund!

By far the best chicken burger there is around! There was a time I was going there three times a week It’s that good! Not to mention the amazing brownies that they sell. A very good thing they do is that every so many times you order you get a free something, In the past few months, I’ve had chips, burger and brownies for free on many occasions, 10/10!!

First off, the patty was juicy and cooked perfectly – a solid medium-rare, just how I like it. The toppings were fresh, and the bun was soft but sturdy enough to hold everything together without falling apart. Each bite was an explosion of flavor.

Called in for a takeaway whilst on a work break. The computer ordering system was easy to use and catered for both Korean and English speaking clients. The food was ready quickly after paying. Staff very polite when handing the order over. Food was both tasty and satisfying and a decent portion size. I'll definitely be back to hopefully have a sit down meal.

It's bit dark inside, but it does give a place private and relaxed atmosphere. Had really nice garlic honey chicken, but saw people next to me having a hot pot which looked amazing so will love to come back at some point.

One of my favourite fried chicken places! Definitely recommend. Love the different options to choose whether you want thigh, breast or leg with different flavours.

The food is very nice but there are issues with the price as everything feels like 2-3 pounds more than it should be. The sauces are too expensive for example. The atmosphere is ok but they need better extraction for the air since you can feel the grease particles in the atmosphere and it's intense. The service is not that great however.

Got this for takeout and dine-in few times! Their garlic honey sauce was AMAZING and their chicken was juicy, crunchy and all to be expected from a Korean fried chicken joint.

Been here for a couple times every other month, truthfully speaking, they are offering consistently appealing chicken, Exceeds what I expected since I first heard it at the social media, Amazing quality of fried chicken drumsticks, wings and delicious sauce going along with them, got to keep them coming, trying different spices, the hot pepper and honey garlic flavour is outstanding, the 3rd place have to go to sweet and spicy. Tornado Potatoes pretty nice too

The taste of Korean fried chicken is decent, and the portion size is quite large, but the military pot is the worst I have ever tasted, and the ingredients taste super weird.

Decent scran in a fairly generic location . Got a classic chicken burger, drink and fries £11 all in, so not too expensive. Sat in, restaurant was clean and tidy. Staff were friendly. Food was tasty and fresh. Lots of choice as well. Got an unnecessary amount of plastic with everything considering I was sat in. Would recommend but probably better after a few beers

I’ve had this twice now. First time was delivery and was one of the best chicken burgers I ever had. Second time I ate it (picture) and the burger was still so flavourful but almost stone cold as it had taken 35 minutes to come despite there only being 2 other people in the restaurant, I assume they had forgotten about it:(

By far the best combination of spices and sauces in a smash burger ive had in manchester. The juiciness and texture is finger licking good. Staff are admirably hospitable and polite. Service is on point. Would definitely come back for a jaw dropping meal.💯

Me and my friend came here because she recommended the place to me and we ordered wings, chicken burgers and the chicken loaded fries. The service given by Mohamed was great, recommending us the best in the menu. The food was amazing and the loaded fries were the best👌🏼👌🏼🤌🏼 Deffo coming back for more!!

Great food, polite and friendly service, clean tidy ambience, and of course centrally located. Nashville fried chicken burger was fantastic, although too spicy for my liking. Chicken was on point. I was surprised by the great quality of the fries with skin. Only disappointing thing was the ketchup, but this has no relevance to the overall review. It’s just me being picky.

My husband and I ate here and had a delightful experience. We ordered the hot chicken sandwich, the tribute one, crinkle fries, and sodas. You have to specify what type of chicken you want, breast or thigh, and my husband messed up the order (sorry hon!) but the staff fixed it without any issues. The fries were fresh, the chicken sandwiches were delicious. The hot chicken was extremely spicy and authentic. I highly recommend this spot for a quick, comfort food meal.

I went here Today and tried their Gravy cheese melt Burger. It was the best beef burger I've ever had in my life Another Amazing experience with the staff here they're so polite and friendly I would highly recommend everyone to Visit here and try their menu. And it's Halal in Central Manchester. That's a big deal.

We’ve tried others but can’t beat a chicken run for consistently good food, great portion size and taste. We got 2 large curry mutton with steamed veg, rice and peas. Was good today and didn’t get a dumpling but will always come here when I don’t feel like cooking x The meat was melt in mouth with plenty of carrots and potatoes. Rice and Peas was really fresh and thankfully no sugar in it, like iv noticed other places seem to be adding lately. Only regret is not buying oxtail as well lol x

Food is fine but a SHAME about the service. You walk in smiling and happy only to be greeted with the snarkiest looks from the front of house servers. Was screamed at by a young woman named ‘Meesha’ for nicely asking about the price of a fish meal which had two different prices on the board. It was very uncalled for, a very dark energy. I just walked straight out and luckily spoke with one of the guys outside about it who apologised on her behalf. Ultimately took my money elsewhere and bought food from the grill across the road. I’m aware it’s not everyone. But it has happened on 1 too many occasions when I have witnessed the staff at the front to be abruptly rude. As someone who has worked in customer service myself, I understand that there can be times when customers are genuinely annoying and for that I always make it my mission to treat someone else how I would like to be treated. I didn’t deserve to be spoken to the way I was and I’m flagging this up because I am not the only person who has had a similar experience. Kindness and respect goes a long way

Always amazing food from here. We get the fried chicken with curry goat gravy dumplings rice n pease. Omg the dumpling dipped in that gravy is fireeeee 🔥 love love love it!

First time here. Food ok had the chicken split but my jaw is hurting now from chewing more bread than the filling. Wings were very small. Service was very slow non existent and shouting / screaming staff. The place was very clean. Card machine supposedly plays up aswell which needs to be addressed. The staff play dumb I have been queueing to order for some time and even though I'm stood right Infront of them they shout "whose next" looking at other people but me

Server had attitude... looked totally bored with his job, order was wrong, food dried up & nasty! Whats happened to this place?? Used to be bang on, other places to go for better service and food, sadly its 'bye' from us, £25 to feed the bin! :(

What a place to go to… Just be my favor, please. I got a piece of fish that was 2 cm wide and 5 cm long for £7.50. Ware was snapper fish???🐟 They sold me this tiny fish probably because I was not black born. — lol. The chicken was undercooked, my kid couldn’t eat it, and the chips were undercooked too. Service was horrible. I understand it was a busy time, but health and safety should come first. I don’t want to get poisoned with undercooked food. We were very disappointed.

I’ve come here for over 30 years the other day I got 2 chicken dinner dry chicken and greasy chips had belly ache never before had this problem

Outstanding food! Love the freshly made burgers, my favourite being the lamb burger. The fresh bread makes such a difference to the food. They also do lovely tagines. The customer service is excellent and run by a lovely family. Can get busy quite quickly so I like to order my food before hand for take away.

The food was so good for a very reasonable price. All homemade even the burger (patty and bread), it was delicious, generous portions freshly cooked, kind owners, very authentic Moroccan cuisine, the wait can be long but it’s really worth it. The only downside is that it was not a lot of sitting places

Authentic as it gets! Not the biggest of places and limited seats. So it’s privilege to have eaten here. Starters The spicy chick peas which were awesome and full of flavour. The garlic bread was fresh and fluffy Main Chicken Zeytoun Tagine (Olive and Lemon) 10/10! Succulent chicken flavoured in the this lemon gravy with olives and topped with fries. Yummy 😋 Very filling portions! The owner and chef Nur is a friendly man and very welcoming. Coming back soon for more!

Firstly they only accept cash or bank transfers. The place is very small but clean as in Google pics. Parking is on the street. This is run by family, wife, husband and their little son. Very hospitable, home cooked food, everything made is fresh but the wait time for the food is long especially for lamb tagine. Around 30/an hour depends on what you ordered, for fresh food it takes time. The kitchen is open so u can see them cook. Best to order prior and Food was delicious and authentic Marrakech food. Garlic bread was freshly baked but lacked garlic flavour. We were 3 adults, but portion sizes are big do best to order 1 tagine to share if eating chicken as there 2 thigh pieces. Lamb on the bone. Both meats were succulent. We also ordered mains Chicken Bruchete really different flavours and for sides 2 breads and 1 lobia which was tangy. It was too much food but we did pack the sides. Must visit to experience and encourage this business. Both husband and wife were Very calm and composed although it was very busy for a Tuesday as we reached at 19.15 but got busy after 8 and seating is limited.

Very delicious moroccan food. The staff are so friendly. However, the order takes long time to be prepared.

Amazing freshly cooked traditional Moroccan food, very reasonably priced. YOU MUST ORDER IN ADVANCE as everything was made from scratch. We were a group of 8 guys traveled from different parts of NW for the first time to try this place out and OMG it was beyond our expectations. We waited for hour an a half for our food because we didnt order in advance but it was worth the wait. Lamb Tajin, meatballs Tajin, Lamb cuscus the freshly baked bread is to die for. Everything was piping hot and stayed warm until we scraped the pots. We have not had Tajin like this in Morocco. It’s honestly a hidden gem and i am sure its going to be our go to place now.

went to red marrakech because we’ve never had morrocan food before and we were completely blown away! restaurant was super small and cozy, and was run by a husband-wife duo. we ordered the al hommous, lamb tajine and moroccan flatbread and everything was made upon order so it was piping hot (amazing). the only thing is that because its made upon order, the wait time is a bit longer than usual but we honestly didn’t mind it cause it was worth the wait 🤣 highly recc!

Omg this is so tasty! I ordered the chips and aubergine sandwich and honestly 10/10 for both. So filling and so much flavour, definetly recommend this place. Sounds pricey for a sandwich but the portion size is huge and so filling its worth it and you wont regret

Tucked away in an alleyway in Manchester's Chinatown is this blink and you miss kind of hole in the wall takeaway spot. I am serious about Fat Pat's being a hole in the wall as all they got is a window to handover your orders. Now coming to their famous sub sandwiches, I have to say I was genuinely impressed by how amazing those were. We got both their honey chicken and Philly cheese steak sandwiches and both were top notch when we ate it back in our hotel rooms. For the four of us, who don't want massive lunches, the two foot long subs with their crinkle cut fries were more than enough. I have to say that this spot is well worth repeat visits.

My gosh, what a place. We ordered midday and collected our sandwiches in the evening. I opted for the steak sandwich, a delicacy to the mouth. The honey chicken was also top tier. Both sandwiches had a beautiful flavour and you can tell it was with the freshest of ingredients. Well worth the hype :,).

perfectly deliciously mind blowing food. Had a 4.45pm slot after booking at 8.45am and still waited 20 mins in a queue. Hot Honey done correctly. Everything - salad & sauce paired so lovely! THAT BREAD TOOOOO - WOOOOHH kudos to you - Huge portion size can definitely see what the hype is about! Food was delicious please do not make me wait in that alleyway again

Fat Pat’s is down a bin alley, like actual bins. You’ll see it from the queue at the window. Order ahead, it’s collection only. We both got the hot honey chicken. Sweet, spicy, massive. Milk roll is soft but doesn’t fall apart. Flavours were so good. Think it might be the best sub we’ve had. Hype’s definitely fair.

A bit overpriced. You can’t order in person. Only online orders. The crispy honey hot chicken was good. But the phily cheese was ok. Portions are good but not like enormous. One can easily satisfy your hunger.

This may have ruined sandwiches for me forever! They are a bit pricey but they’re huge, so we ended up sharing one. The hot honey fried chicken was 10/10!

The place, although names Burmese restaurant, didn't have many Burmese dishes on the regular menu. The food is quite tasty, but the portions are on the small end. It's more catering the nearby business and not to experience the authentic Burmese dishes (evident by the limited menu choices during regular business hours). They only prepare the traditional Burmese food (like Mohinga, a traditional stable street food) during special event that runs occasionally. This is a bummer. If you're looking for Burmese food, this isn't the place.

Nila makes some amazing food, ive been here a few times at lunch time and it always hits the spot, ive heard the local businesses praising the high quality of the food here too! Try the pork its amazing, i also love the chicken but haven’t tried the beef yet

This is a little hidden gem was very helpful explaining the dishes really nice food I got a half pork tamarind and half chicken split pea masala curry with 2 lamb samosa big portions very flavourful and its cheap for what you get n I got a bottle of homemade chili sauce which is also very nice I'd definitely go back

This restaurant was a letdown from start to finish. The location isn’t central, and when you finally arrive, the welcome is far from warm. They also have a stand at Kargo Mkt, but that’s just a basic food court setup with nothing special. The “traditional” tea leaf salad barely had any tea leaves, and the dishes lacked both flavour and authenticity. While they do respond on social media, their replies aren’t particularly helpful. I had high hopes after reading the positive reviews, but my experience was the opposite. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for genuine Burmese cuisine.

I have been meaning to try this place for ages and I finally managed to visit today for lunch. It was absolutely brilliant and I will definitely be going back. I had no idea what to order and I was recommended the pork with rice and salad which did not disappoint.

Nila is lovely and we had a great chat! The food is delicious- pork tamarind curry and chicken split pea masala with rice and salad. Spring roles were gorgeous too, all with her own sauce. Lovely atmosphere great value and so welcoming 🙏 😊

One of Manchester's best kept secrets. Fantastic food and quite possibly the friendliest service in Manchester. Feels like going for lunch at an old friend's place. Thank you Nila!

I had a very disappointing experience at Popeyes Chicken in Manchester. I was genuinely looking forward to trying it, but the food quality was shockingly poor. The chicken I was served was extremely, excessively oily — so much so that it was almost glistening with oil. It looked like it had just been pulled out of the fryer and tossed directly into the box without even the slightest attempt to drain or rest it. There was no crispiness, no flavour balance — just an overwhelming taste and smell of deep-fried oil. Every bite felt like I was chewing on a sponge soaked in grease. Even the packaging was starting to stain from the oil. It was simply unappetizing and not edible. I couldn’t finish my meal, which says a lot considering how much I enjoy fried chicken in general. It’s really disappointing coming from a well-known international brand like Popeyes. There’s clearly a serious issue with kitchen quality control or staff training at this branch. A bit of care in preparation — allowing chicken to rest, draining properly, or even just checking before serving — would make a huge difference. Sadly, based on this visit, I wouldn’t recommend this location. I hope Popeyes takes this feedback seriously, because with the right improvements, the food could live up to the hype — but right now, it’s far from it.

Nice restaurant with a lively atmosphere and modern design. The food is tasty, portions are good, and service is friendly. It can get busy during peak times, but overall a great place to eat in Manchester.

Chicken burgers and milkshakes are amazing, not sure on chips and gravy as we got sent Cajun ones which were ok but would have preferred plain 👍

I really like the atmosphere and the staff are super friendly. Food is usually good. My server Ibrahim is very smiley and likeable, with a really lovely energy. The cajun fries i had today are over-spiced for me personally. I needed less seasoning. Other than that, I was really satisfied with my visit!

It’s located in Piccadilly Gardens, which is a really great location. The food was delicious and the service was fast. The staff were friendly, especially Shafina, who was very kind and helpful!

Dont think ive ever had a good experience in the 3 times ive been. Today its Cold fries and rubbish portion sizes.. this is apparently a large fry? Crew members leaning over asking for reviews whilst your trying to eat.. heres your review.. 1*

Had a great experience at Popeyes! The food was fresh, hot, and really tasty. Ibrahim gave us excellent service — he was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely one of the best visits I’ve had here. Highly recommend!

Ordered oxtails and it was not prepared correctly, I called the restaurant to advise that I wasn’t happy with my order as I ordered it online and cannot be fixed , mam on the phone was extremely rude and said he can not help and I accepted the delivery so I can’t complain , if I could give them a 0 I honestly would. Oxtails are supposed to be a dark brown colour this was not and cooked in the wrong gravy evidently… I added photos of my meal and a picture online of what it supposed to look like .. you be the judge

Definitely a hidden gem! We’re new to the area and had heard good things about Yeah Man so we had to try for ourselves. The welcome and food definitely did not disappoint. Really good jerk chicken, flavourful with a nice little kick. My partner said the curry mutton was also delicious. The man serving was friendly and food was ready quickly. We might just become new regulars!

Really tasty and very good value for money. we got Jerk Chicken and Oxtail - also got 2 patties and 2 dumplings. the beef patty was delicious and the dumplings were great with all the sauce that came with our mains. we got it delivered and it was nice and hot when it arrived - we ended up with left overs and had it for lunch the following day. great flavours and authentic vibe

The food was lovely, had enough left over to eat the next day, and still tasted great. Was a bit of a drive for us, but it was worth it. Will definitely be going there again. We didn't get the name of the chef/cook or the lady in the shop, big mistake on our part, but they were both friendly. Great selection of Jamaica food and very tasty. Five 🌟 🤩

Hidden gem. Food was delicious and hot! Curry goat was a bit spicy for me but I'm a whimp and it was still gorgeous. Other half enjoyed it too! Empty plates and full bellies all round. Will definitely be going back!

Jerk Chicken smelled like it was basted in cheese, whatever the reason, Jerk Chicken should never ever give off a pungent cheesy smell (to the point where you literally can't smell anything else) Tried to call them to let them know but brudda just laughed at man lol No complaints about the Curry Goat maybe a bit salty but that's all

I've been to many Caribbean restaurants all over Manchester and this is the best I've come across yet a real hidden gem the owner is such a cool guy too!

This is the best fried chicken restaurant we have visited. The chicken is perfectly succulent and tender without being greasy. The flavour and seasoning is perfect. We loved our dishes and the service we received was very friendly too. The quality of the ingredients is very high and you can see the owners are passionate about food. Highly recommend this restaurant in the Northern Quarter.

Really lovely people, equally lovely food. Taco Tuesday is highly recommended but all the food we had was excellent and the stuff going to others looked amazing too. I inadvertently ended up on the leader board just because it's hard to stop the tasty train (had I known I'd have gone for the top spot!) I'm looking forward to another visit if I'm in Manchester again.

Always wanted to try Kongs (after seeing it on beards meet food) and we managed to visit for an early lunch on a food research trip. Staff were friendly, food was quick and super tasty. Beef tacos and Parmesan chips were incredible. Restaurant has a cool urban look and a well stocked bar. Would definitely return to when back in Manchester to try out more menu items. Great spot must visit for Taco lovers

We booked this restaurant after seeing lots of videos on Instagram. When we arrived there was not really anyone to greet us or sit us down, but lucky some of the party had already arrived so we made our way over to them. It took a while to get our drinks ordered, we had to ask for the staff in the end. The food was ordered shortly after. The menu is not the biggest, but the flavours and presentation were awesome. The food was fresh and tasty. However, as a large party the food came in drips and drabs and by the time the last meal was served nearly everyone had finished their meal. I personally like all the food to arrive together, but that's my opinion. I didn't like that there was one shared toilet and the cue was long, and it did smell awful. I did not like this, as most women won't. Overall I loved the food. But the service and cleanliness needs improving.

Good dirty food. Would recommend booking if you want a table but there’s room on the bar if not. Stacked out tacos, tortillas are a little small so it’s a messy one but would recommend.

Stopped in at Kong’s NQ for lunch while transferring between Piccadilly and Victoria, and I’m so glad I did. I was in a rush to catch a train, mentioned it to the team, and they couldn’t have been more accommodating - food came out quickly, bill sorted straight away, super friendly service. I had the signature chicken sandwich and it was unreal. Perfectly fried chicken thigh, crispy chicken skin crackling (game-changer), punchy sriracha slaw, tangy pickles, and a rich burger sauce that tied everything together. Portion of seasoned fries was huge and really well done - easily one of the best value plates I’ve had in a while. Massive portions, spot-on flavours, and staff who genuinely care about the experience. Whether you’re grabbing food on the go or sitting in with mates, this place is an absolute must.

Really great chicken sandwich with a phenomenal amount of super skinny fries. BBQ sauce on the wings was a bit too sickly sweet for my taste. Draught beer selection was surprisingly good, service was dead friendly

Busy fast food restaurant offering a unique experience. The staff don’t look too happy and the flooring could do with a revamp. I’m indifferent about the food because before I visited I wasn’t too bothered about trying a corn dog. They’re sweet and it was cooked fresh for us. You have to buy something before you can use the toilets. I wouldn’t visit again but honestly this is just personal. They always have queues and I’m sure they offer amazing food for people that like it.

We tried the Original Tteokbokki, and it was my first time having something like that — the sauce was super flavorful, and the fishcakes soaked it up perfectly. We also gave their new chicken wrap a try, and it was surprisingly good — definitely worth ordering. It was pretty crowded when we went in the evening, so we had to wait a bit for a seat. Also, just a heads-up: the seating is all high stools, which might not be the most comfortable for everyone. But overall, it’s a great little spot if you’re craving Korean street food in Manchester!

You can spot BUNSIK from afar, given the vibrant blue aesthetic. Known as one of the most famous Korean street food in UK. Wanted to try their fried gimbap, but it was sold out. Tried their gimbap, it is not that fantastic. The spicy chicken tasted like frozen chicken. Maybe should have ordered the vegetables one since it is the most popular one. But worth a try still if you re craving for Korean food in UK.

My husband and I absolutely love this place! We spent two days in Manchester, and after trying it once, we just couldn’t resist going back the next day. The food is so delicious! I’ve been to Korea and tried authentic Korean food, and I can honestly say their tteokbokki tastes exactly the same — truly amazing! I totally recommend it to everyone — trust me, once you try it, you’ll be hooked! 🔥🍜💕

I tried the fried chicken kimbap and original tteokbokki. The tteokbokki was just average, but the kimbap was surprisingly good! However, the service was incredibly slow; I waited almost 20 minutes for my food. The place was super crowded and clearly understaffed.

We decided to try Bunsik as we had never tried corn dogs before but were sadly disappointed by our visit. I got the cheese potato corn dog and my partner got the chicken ramen one, and we weren’t very impressed. The cheese didn’t have much flavour and the batter was super sweet and overpowering. Maybe I should have got a sauce on it, but it was totally new to me and I didn’t realise that the corn dog wouldn’t have enough flavour on its own to be enjoyable. The chips were fine but had sooooo much salt on them that it was difficult to eat them all. It would be better if you could put the salt on yourself via sachets so then you can salt them to taste. Sauce sachets being available would be good too. It took a while to get our food as it was really busy and that’s understandable. Because it was so busy it was hard to find a table and they weren’t very clean. There weren’t very many stools available either and they were uncomfortable. I think the layout of the seating area could be improved on to facilitate more people.

According to the good online reviews, we decided to give this place a try. We were a family of 3 and ordered £30 worth of food as lunch. The corndog was the only food which tasted acceptable but was still hard to bite and tasteless. The fried chicken was extremely sweet; the noodle was the worst, it tasted worse than the standard Korean instant noddle and came with nothing else, we paid extra for veggies (£1.00 extra) and a piece of cheese (£1.5 extra); the portion wise it was only half size of the carton full and costed me £8.4 in total. It was way too expensive for what I got. After having lunch, we had unsettled belly the whole afternoon. Unfortunately we would not come back again.

I love asian/pan asian food but this one did not leave a good mark. A friend recommended and i thought of trying the salt and pepper chicken with rice and some sticky wings. The wings were tasty but so so tiny. The rice was just plain cooked rice and the salt and pepper chicken was very tough and chewy. A lot of people must be liking this place but I only post genuine reviews and I didn’t quite like it, may be over expected. However, the staff are very friendly, ambience is nice.

Really delicious food! Friendly and competent staff. We got Salt&Pepper Chicken with rice, Sticky Chicken with fries and the hash browns + two drinks for 30 bucks The prices are completely reasonable for what you get, great quality. We’re very happy we went here 😁

I’ve been coming to salt and pepper since it was in the Arndale. I can appreciate prices have doubled however the standard of food has majorly dropped. The sticky beef is now bland compared to what it used to be and definitely isn’t the same recipe, the portion size is also a lot smaller. There are also a lot of fruit flies flying round the restaurant which is a bit off putting. The staff are always super friendly and nice.

Had this amazing surf and turf today, such a flavourful and balanced meal. The honey sauce steak was nice and sweet, the prawns crispy, the salad was well seasoned and the salt and pepper chips are some of the best ones I ever had. Definitely worth the money, I’ve eaten here twice and will be coming again! Sincerely recommend the hashbrowns as well!!!

Amazing food! Great portion sizes. Even though went during peak time still got our food within 15 minutes. Unfortunately just needs more seating in there as when we went was very busy and difficult to get seated .

After speaking to the owners who took onboard my feedback regarding the quality of the steak, I can confirm that the surf and turf tastes better than ever. Once again my taste buds are tingling 10/10 for sure, I will defo be back!

Been here many times. I tend to order the mixed box (Half salt and pepper chicken, half sticky chicken) and half and half - chips and rice. You get a little bit of pickled salad and a sauce. Never had a bad experience. It is always very busy so just keep that in mind!

We visit her almost every week. My daughter loves the chicken strips and criss cross fries. The chicken burgers are great too, with multiple options and it's great you can choose whether to have breast or though. There are lots of choices of dips too.

I’m really disappointed with my experience at Zaxxfried. I ordered two burgers and some chicken wings via Uber Eats. The wings were piping hot, but the burgers were completely cold—like they’d been sitting around for ages. It honestly felt like they were prepared long before my order, especially since they’re running a 2 for 1 sale on those burgers today. I reached out to the restaurant and spoke to Sebastian, but he was completely unhelpful. He just blamed Uber Eats for the problem, even though I live only 3 minutes away and the wings arrived hot. It’s clear the issue was with how the burgers were prepared, but he didn’t seem to care about that. Overall, really poor service and food quality. I won’t be ordering from here again.

These people I always order from Uber and they are just soooooo goood. The best fast food I had in my life. How can they feed the sauce to the chicken like that…. Sooooo goood their ranch is soooo good

The food was absolutely MEGA, easily the best chicken burger I have ever had (Nashville Hot!!) The staff were fantastic and very welcoming 🙏 We also had the deep fried oreos which were insane 😍 10/10 will definitely be going again.

My first time here with the lads as it was reccomended by a friend. I went for the Golden Buffalo burger 🍔 and got the crispy fries now keep in mind everything is charged seperate. Crispy cross fries were £3 a portion and burger was around £10. Also got the lychee can drink which if I be honest is a rip off on the rubicon lychee can but way more expensive. The food overall was average at best and for that price you pay isnt worth it in my opinion. The place itself has no seating and is take away only the lady serving who seemed so like she didnt want to be there chattin away to her friend. If I be honest I dont think I would go back as I can think of plenty more better chicken burger joints than this.

The service unfortunately was rather awkward, the woman serving us seemed like she may have been more interested in going back on her phone. The food was okay, burgers look a lot bigger on Instagram, it’s worth a try for sure, it was just okay for me. Sweet chill sauce wasn’t the one. They do give an abundance of fries to make up for the slightly small burgers. If you’re looking to spend £15 on meal, which is the average in Manchester then give it a go. This is a eat in your car meal, which I don’t mind. No dine in as stated.

Ordered the Korean thigh burger, the breast mango habanero burger, chicken strips and potato waffles. Overall, the burgers were good, especially the korean Burger, the thigh was juicy and the sauce was an and the sauce wasn’t overpowering. The mango burger, I could appreciate if you liked that sauce then that would be what you’re after hence the high reviews for it. However, for me it was too sickly and sweet. I’d also like to see a bit more on the burger. I removed the pickles but it felt just like cheese and chicken. I couldn’t really taste any salad. I‘d definitely choose a thigh over a breast if I was ordering from there again. The potato waffles were really nice, a few more would have been perfect for the portion. Chicken strips were fine. Good chicken but a little bit dry - this might be down to the delivery though. The Kansas mayonnaise was amazing. I ordered it from Uber eats, and when it arrived it wasn’t very hot, so maybe it could have been even better.

The restaurant is kind of in a bar so it's a bit unusual. You have to order at the Bar, but I guess this keeps prices down. The food is probably my fav in Manchester. If you haven't had American biscuits before, you must try them. There is nothing to compare them to. Prices are beyond amazing for the quality and location.

Finally tried #cardinalrule in Manchester serving #American #buscuitsandgravy with #chickenfriedsteak ... The biscuits were on point. Crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The chicken fried steak tasted good. It was crunchy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside. Their pimento cheese was good and added more flavor to the sandwich. Their home made pickles rounded up the whole delicious experience. The sausage gravy was generous with the sausage meat but needed a bit more salt. Still, it wasn't bad. I will definitely go back there again. They also serve breakfast. #foodporn

Cardinal rule was surprisingly very good! I saw the place get advertised a few times but it was slightly far so didn’t ever get to try but I managed to visit! We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was incredibly busy as it’s situated in northern monk refectory bar. It works quite well as the biscuit sandwiches here are good to pair with a beer. We ordered miss honey, hometown and hot take. Personally I had the miss honey and it was my favourite pick, coming from a person that doesn’t particularly like anything which is too bready or doughy the biscuits that formed the sandwich was really moist and buttery which complimented the fried chicken perfectly with the chipotle mayo and honey. Each sandwich goes for £8 which isn’t too bad considering how hefty these sandwiches are, we also ordered the fries with gravy too but personally I prefer English gravy more as this gravy was too floury and mild for my liking 🤣. Also these sandwiches are pretty filling from the density of the chicken and biscuits so even though they don’t look much they’ll keep you full for a long time. One thing I was disappointed with was with the biscuit and black pepper gravy sandwich that was shown on their menu on the website but when I asked about it at the counter they didn’t know what I was talking about and didn’t seem to have it on the menu..? Also there is no seating reservations or bookings so it’s strictly first come first serve first served, also expect a 30+ minute wait time if it’s busy. Overall cardinal rule is a good place to go if you’re feeling something heavy and American but it’s not somewhere I’d go regularly, maybe once in a while when I’m feeling it.

Came here 3 times over 3 weeks in Manchester. After traveling around England for 4 months it was the perfect comfort food to my American heart. The biscuits & sausage gravy were like a warm hug. We also tried the biscuit French toast sticks, pancakes (which were incredible), the Miss Honey sandwich and the popcorn chicken & fries. Everything tasted great, the staff was friendly and the food came out fairly quickly given on how busy it could be.

Our first time eating here. But it was certainly worth the trip out at lunch. Great food. Highly recommend it. Somthing different. Great yeast and price. Friendly helpful staff. And dome excellent drinks too. Some very good stout.

The chicken biscuit sandwich is the best. So juicy, moorish, delectible. I highly reccomend you come and try here. You will not be dissapointed. Located in Northern Monk, meaning you have a great range of beer on tap to help wash down the chicken.

Absolutely fantastic. I haven't had a good biscuit in a good 10+ years so this was an amazing experience. My friend tried them for the first time and it blew their mind! The chicken is also SO moist and full of flavour.
