Drunken 1AM Standard Chinese Food at Restaurant Price, Would get cheaper in London, Save your money and go elsewhere, avoid at all cost.

I ordered honey chili chicken with fried rice and chips earlier tonight at the new Manley restaurant. Unfortunately, it was the most expensive Chinese takeout I have ever experienced in the UK. As frequent visitors to London, I can say that you can find better quality food for half the price elsewhere. The honey chili chicken was overcooked and burnt, making it inedible. When I called to complain, the customer service representative was extremely rude and unhelpful. They offered a credit, but I insisted on a refund, which they refused to provide. I asked to speak with the owner, Simon Chan, but he also refused to speak with me. I will make it my mission to warn others to avoid this restaurant and ensure that Simon loses business in the future. He is a cheat and a thief.

I only go to this restaurant for Chinese takeout because the food is always delicious. I have only dined in once because the upstairs seating area is small, so I usually opt for takeout.

We always take away from here as definitely the best in town. Slightly more expensive than the others but we'll worth it.

Took the family to New Manley to celebrate my daughters birthday. On walking in, you are in a takeaway situation. You need to go through another door and upstairs to the restaurant. You will pass a set table for about 8 people under the stairs (very interesting). The restaurant itself is smaller than an average restaurant and the setting is very basic. The restaurant could seat approximately 20 and that is full capacity. There was five starters ordered, BBQ Spare Ribs, Peking Spare Ribs, Genius Chicken Wings, Prawn Toast and Cream of Mushroom Soup. The starters were large portions; the ribs were nice and juicy, the wings were a little dry they needed some form of sauce, I kept pinching my husbands!. The Prawn Toast was ok, but the Cream of Mushroom Soup, although tasty and full of sliced mushroom, was just a tad floury. The mains that we ordered were Chicken and Prawn dish, Crystal King Prawn dish, two Honey Chili Crispy Chicken and Sweet and Sour Chicken, 3 Fried Rice, 1 Soft Noodle and 1 Chips of which were large portions and very tasty indeed. The wine is a little pricey at £15.00 for a bottle of house wine (Sauvgnion Blanc) very nice. However, we never saw the sweet menu as this was not offered; they do give you a plate of complimentary fruit to cleanse your palette which is nice. On asking for the bill, however, which was handed to me, I put my card on the plate and ask would I have to come up to the front of the restaurant, you know, to key in my card details. I was met with, 'Oh sorry, we only take cash!! '. Well, could you imagine the shock and may be embarrassment!! I asked where was the nearest cash point and sent my husband the get the cash. So just a word of warning, when you visit this restaurant, take cash with you. However, the staff were very friendly and polite and because two of my children have nut allergies, I advised them of this and I was asked what meals they had ordered and she was straight down to the kitchen advising the chef of this, which I thought was brilliant. Oh, this restaurant opening times all week is 16.30 22.00
