I have noticed mixed reviews about this restaurant. In my quick screening, some of the reviews that are related to a disatisfactory were more about the service price, and not about the taste. So I decided to try this place for lunch. Manchuria is in the Northern part of China where food had very different taste from Southern part. The fried pork and prawn were served with a glaze of sticky sweet savoury sauce, which is on the opposite of HongKong or Shichuan style. Make sure to order the steamed pork and cabbage dumpling though, which I found marvelous. The skin was smooth, perfectly cooked, not starchy, and tasted awesome. It is a serious eatery, perfect for family, and they have a VIP room for special occasion, so yes it is not as cheap, but I don't think it is overprice. Staff wise, it is not bad at all as they were being helpful and friendly. I did not wait long for the food as well. Coming back? I don't have reasons for not to. Enjoy the experience!

My mother and I have visited this restaurant after watching Jurrasic Rebirth in Century City and we are extremely happy to be able to eat here as the entire set-up of the restaurant was soooo beautiful and aesthetic! Honestly, it really felt like we were eating in China and I am so thankful for this experience. They had lots of food options available for their customers and they are very friendly. The food was soo good as well, very fresh and organic! A good restaurant for Muslims! Also, they do not use alcohol in most of their foods and most of their food does not serve pork. However, please do ask them on the ingredients for individual food to be safe. I highly recommend this restaurant to you all, it's so good and affordable! Thanks a lot to the lovely owners and staff for everythingg! The staff was very nice to us!

Had a catch up with a few mates for drinks. Ordered tons of food and majority of them was great. Best dish is the last picture (honey potatoes and date). Most dishes was slightly too salty though. The service was extremely fast (too fast as a matter of fact as we couldn’t eat fast enough). Great night.

My family of 5 and another family of 4 were so happy with the service, there were 2 very beautiful ladies, so kind to us, and gave us beautiful service. This place is amazing, so cultural, the atmosphere was so welcoming. The traditional foods were great, and so delicious. We had a lovely time at Manchurian Kitchen! Thank you so much for the excellent time we had, especially the 2 young ladies that served us, they had a lot to do, but gave us the best service.

Go and ask for ‘Beng’ I be your waiter at this place. He expects excellence from his dishes and will make sure everything is up to scratch. They have over 100 dishes here plus specials everyday. Let Beng guide you through the menu instead, he knows it back to front and will ensure you have the dishes aligned to your pallet. On the night there was a crayfish special with salt and pepper basting. It was delicious! Here they recommend you have the steam buns instead of a rice dish, I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. We’ll be back for sure!

The staff were very friendly. When we came in, we wanted to try using an EatClub discount. Although the waitress was not sure, she still went to ask the boss for us. The boss said that even if we could not use the discount, they were still happy to give us some discount. Both waitresses on that Saturday night were very polite and thoughtful. The whole dining experience was very pleasant. The Northeastern Chinese food was very tasty and authentic. They also came to our table several times to refill water and asked if we needed takeaway boxes. Overall, even without the discount, this meal was really worth five stars.

We enjoyed the food here! It's Shandong style cuisine. A lot of the dishes are very authentic. Serving portions are generous and there's a good variety of dishes.
