As we all know Vietshak is a Manchester success story, starting out in the arndale food court and graduating to their own fabulous restaurant.
Easy to find on Great Ancoats st, make sure you come early because a queue forms quickly in the evening.
We arrived about 6pm and the restaurant was already half full. We were greeted and seated, then it wasn’t long before the restaurant filled up.
Service was quick and friendly. I ordered a spicy margarita, which although tasty only filled half the glass. Small quibble tbf.
Food came quickly, we had the summer rolls to begin which were beautifully plated and tasted fantastic. Unfortunately I ate them too fast and did not get a photo. Apologies, I’m greedy
Then came the mains, I had the lamb chops, which were really tasty and perfectly cooked. Nice and pink! We also shared the duck fries, which is one of my favourite dishes here. They were great, crispy duck, crispy fries and lots of toppings. Defo recommend!
Didn’t go for desserts this time, I was so full after the mains.
Love this place, would eat here everyday! I also recommend the Cow Burger which I always get at their Arndale location. Super fit
normally i go to the stall at the arndale market as the value is so good but i have to recommend the restaurant as well because the menu is much wider and portions larger!
the staff were great, able to accommodate a large group of 10 with no notice, and the food was phenomenal!
Lovely and friendly staff,very attentive!
Drinks arrived fast,quickly followed by the food.
Generous portions and affordable. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and very well combined together.
Overall 10/10 would definitely come back for more!
Popped in for a slightly-hungover quick lunch, and got the vegan chicken burger. It was one of the best meals I've ever had. A lot of places do good vegan chicken now, but the peanut sauce, vibrant salad and crispy fries make this one really stand out from the rest.
The staff were very kind and helpful, and the vibe was good. I hope to have the opportunity to return and try some more of the menu soon!
Nice place with excellent good Vietnamese food. Friendly staff and a great menu.
We had Pho and some homemade dumplings which were very tasty!
Can recommend the is place both for lunch and dinner!
Tasty food and vibrant presentation. Drinks were all good.
We went without a booking and were seated pretty quickly. Service was great.
Shack fries are a must try.
Absolute gem. We came across this place by accident. Some of the best food we have ever had! Recommend the crab taco!!
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.
(sorry i forgot to take a pic before eating)
overall great stop, i think the food is more tailored to British taste rather than authentic Vietnamese taste, it’s kinda a bit fusion. but overall it’s decent, and the staff and service is obviously a plus!!
Great atmosphere. Friendly and attentive service and delicious food. We had the summer rolls and seafood pho. A good selection of mocktails available too. Walk ins only.
The pho is a bit flavourless. Compared to the prawn summer rolls, which is flavourless as well, the crispy ones are far more amazing. They have 10% service charge.
Absolutely gorgeous food, fab cocktails & lovely staff. Highly recommended.
We’ve been living next door to this non-pretentious Vietnamese restaurant and finally got to try it.
Naturally we had to go for Vietnam’s national dish, so ordered the Chicken Pho. This was delicious; a generous portion with a rich deep broth and juicy chicken pieces.
We also had the beef salad and the beef was cooked a perfect medium rare. Because my wife and I shared the Pho, we were still feeling a little hungry so ordered the soft-shell crab taco from their starters menu and am very glad we did. It was delicious too (see photo)!
Overall, a very satisfying meal, and if you go now you get a voucher for a 20% discount to use if you return again before 25th January, which is exactly what we’re going to do!
Had a fantastic evening dining at vietshack. The food was the best we had in a long time. The staff its friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.
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.
Really enjoyed visiting this place at the weekend. Had been to their stall in the Arndale before and enjoyed the food, but this was my first time in the restaurant. Friendly and speedy service. Between the four of us we had 8 different starters and mains, all delicious. Even the beer - often a bit dodgy in an East Asian restaurant - was decent. Will be back!

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.
