 | |  | | | Great Wall Chinese Restaurant Manchester - reader comments |  "Entertaining European guests, we wanted to prove how cheap eating out in Manchester can be, especially with the pound being so weak against the Euro. So, we headed down to Chinatown for a Business Lunch and took up The Great Wall's offer of 2 courses for £4.50 (or €4.50 to our guests). You couldn't eat in McDonalds at that price! The restaurant was very busy although there only seemed to be one or two waiters, neither of which were very welcoming. We ordered drinks, also at a ridiculous low price, and these were delivered with such aggression, the waiter could have broken both the bottle and the table. He wasn't very forthcoming with smiles despite our attempts to kick start a bit of banter. The food didn't provide many extra smiles either. Basic fayre, served very quickly, that was certainly worth the price but, with so much competition around Chinatown, wouldn't win many repeat visits. Chinatown, like Rusholme's Curry Mile, is very hit and miss and it's important to know in advance which restaurants offer quality cuisine and which ones are little more than glorified takeaways. Unfortunately, on this lunchtime visit, Great Wall only impressed on price alone." - restaurants of manchester 21/2/09 (visited on a weds lunch) |
