Tai Pan - Manchester Description
It could just be that Tai Pan is setting a trend. As with supermarkets so with restaurants - an out of town site, a car to go back to, hassles minimised. The problem is do people really want to go and dine out in a building resembling a cross between a 747 hanger and a supermarket? Well, that's a problem for the designers; meanwhile the formula seems to be appealing enough to justify Tai Pan's investment. Chinese families are there in significant numbers and reports on the food are almost universally good. That stalwart favourite, dim sum comes out very well and what's more people tend to eat it at the right time i.e first thing in the morning. So perhaps we are looking into the future here, though for me the small, intimate Chinese restaurant in town remains the favourite.

It’s in a good location, just ten minutes walk from the Apollo. It has great food at reasonable prices. Two courses plus one drink for £17, but poor service. It was not a busy night, Sunday, but one starter was forgotten and came very late after having to remind them twice. It’s a shame to ruin the experience over a simple matter. I won’t be going again.

The Tai Pan is our Chinese restaurant of choice in City Centre to South Manchester. It's in the style of the huge Hong Kong restaurants; tiny by comparison but the food is of a quality that would be acceptable in Hong Kong. The variety is not quite HK standard but at least it's in the same ball park. It's not intimate and I'll scream if I hear ""Happy birthday to you" again. One of the main advantages is that the parking is excellent and your car is there and undamaged afterwards.
The service is good and we can always find something on the menu that we have not tried before and then add it to the long list of favourites. Even golden oldies are worth revisiting from time to time. The best Manchester centre restaurants are as good but the parking and accessibility are the deciding factor. The star is their cold roast belly pork. Now that they have realised that Europeans enjoy it too, they have it available every day.
My one criticism is that they have a separate menu written in Chinese and I want to know and try some of the fantastic things I see Chinese families enjoying but I've no idea what they are. Discrimination in my view.
