Harden's survey result
Summary
“A great see-and-be-seen atmosphere” – Adam and Drew Jones’s expanding, Chinese, national chain is characterised by “superb surroundings” and as a result its Manchester branch (the chain’s first, which opened in 2015) is “understandably one of the most popular venues in town”. But there’s a general feeling that “it’s nice looking but could do better” – “surroundings set an excellent first impression but I expected more of the food” (“on our visit, we couldn’t spot anyone Chinese in the kitchen, and it showed”); “and it’s pricey too”. “Overall there are better Chinese restaurants in Manchester… they’re not as striking though”.
Summary
Everyone agrees there’s an “absolutely stunning ambience” at this glam outfit, which is a magnet for a well groomed, Instagram-conscious crowd. There’s the odd gripe that it’s too pricey, but most reports are of “excellent” Asian cuisine. Next stop Birmingham, where a big opening was announced in October 2018.
Summary
Where ‘The Real Housewives of Cheshire’ go to party – all agree this glam Asian has had a “very good fit-out” and even a reviewer who said “it’s not aimed at me, as I much prefer more authentic Chinese places” felt that “while it caters to up-market British customers with a taste for creative crossover dishes, I can understand it’s is popular it does what it sets out to do very well”. It takes predictable flak for the size of the bill though: “in price it targets the likes of Hakkasan/Yauatcha etc and while it’s ok, it’s just nowhere near as good as that”.
