We have tried most in Manchester, being locals, yet nothing has succumb this.we read the reviews and they are to be trusted. Honestly, no need to repeat everything said, just simply the best, never had so many king prawns ever, and wine and service superb. Enough said. X

Busy atmosphere sometimes. Went there a few times and it was always such a nice meal for a decent price! Definitely, top 3 in Manchester city centre.

Always use this after the theatre. Never disappointed. The service is always spot on. Never had the same dish twice and had some great food. Good prices, thanks again.

The food came very quickly and was nice although the meat tasted manufactured. This was a pre-theatre meal and suited us as it was a quick turnaround but wouldn't suit if you wanted... More

Another delicious meal at the Rice Bowl, we had the set menu which cost £21.50 per person, after hot & sour soup which was as you would expect hot!! we had spring rolls, sesame prawn on toast and seaweed, very tasty, we then had crispy duck and pancakes, not the biggest duck we have seen but still very good, we...
