I went at lunchtime with my sister, we arrived just as they were opening but it got busy fairly quickly as it’s clearly a popular spot, you can see why!
The food was all delicious and each dish had its own unique flavours which was great. We shared one main- the fried rice and then got three small plates (£15 for 3 is a great deal), cauliflower, aubergine and spring rolls. The aubergine was perfectly cooked, soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, nothing tough or chewy at all. The mock chicken in the fried rice was some of the best I’ve ever had and it was nice that you got tofu as well as.
The staff were all very friendly, upon arrival they asked if we had any dietary restrictions or allergies. The food arrived quickly and everything was piping hot and we were checked on a couple of times to see that everything was ok.
I visited here with my boyfriend & his parents, it was very cosy and you could see everyone eating their food with a smile on their face. Their wasn’t a wait to sit down luckily!
The small plates come out whenever their ready, which I thought was cool. Me & my bf got the squid and the ribs & they were both amazing. His parents got the gluten free halloumi which they enjoyed.
I got the com vit which was the duck and rice which was so filling, I just wished for more of the sauce they cooked the duck in, but I used the leftover sauce from the ribs for my duck which I was happy with.
My bf got the Shack rice, which he was very happy with - he ordered the beef to me medium rare & got it a little more cooked than he would’ve preferred but he was still very happy with his meal! The Sirracha Mayo has a kick to it which was nice.
His parents both got the Com bo bit tet with beef which they also enjoyed.
All round, we enjoyed and was thoroughly happy. We’d def return as this place was amazing. The prices reflect the portions which I was also happy about.
FANTASTIC! I've been here a few times and always impressed at the quality of the food, the service and atmosphere. Most importantly, I have a peanut allergy and when I informed the member of staff of this they were extremely accommodating and helpful to ensure that I didn't die.
A lovely small spot which is accompanied by great service and wonderful staff. The food came out relatively fast and they were delicious.
(Fried Squid and beef Pho)
Overall, a splendid experience
This place has the best crispy squid I have ever tried. It was between viet shack and giggling squid but they take the number one spot. The food was amazing enjoyed every item I tried. Beef and chicken had so much flavour and cooked perfectly. Normally don’t enjoy duck but the skin was perfectly crispy and flavoursome.
The host / waiter was top notch very attentive gave great recommendations. Extremely polite and friendly. Made us feel very welcomed, it’s just a shame I’m very bad with names but I would definitely put this place in the top 10 places to visit in Manchester just down to his hospitality.
Amazing food, atmosphere and service. The servers were very attentive and nice. Their coconut 🥥 ice cream was delicious btw, highly recommend.
Thank you!
Food was nice, iced coffee didn't take long, for preparation. Went with family, person ordering had 10% discount. We also got the same discount, for next order.
One of my fave places to eat in Manchester. Really good for veggies and vegans – everything is super tasty. My favourite dishes are the oyster mushrooms (vegan calamari) and the vegan peanut butter chickn fries. Cocktails are delicious too and the staff are always lovely.
Ordered food from Viet Shack twice via Uber Eats, and the dishes that came never disappoint us! Our favorite dish is the pho. The broth of the pho is absolutely amazing. It’s flavorful and rich. We love it so much. We also like the spring rolls, crispy pork rice, and crispy duck rice. Recommended!
Interesting take modern Vietnamese Chinese fusion.
