The Best Dim Sum in Manchester - Home Chinese Manchester


The video clips were shot using an iPhone 15 Pro Max and a DJI Osmo Pocket 3, so the lighting varies from yellow to white.

It took us a total of four and a half hours to drive, and now we've arrived in Manchester! 
I am thrilled that we discovered Home Chinese Manchester.

The waitress who attended to us was fantastic! The dim sum menu looks new. Home Chinese Manchester that opened in March of last year, according to a quick Google search.

She spoke both Cantonese and Mandarin fluently, had a lovely smile, and was more than happy to take a lot of photos to get us in the mood and to help us stick to the feelings we want to capture. She is definitely a keeper, (keeper is something that is worth keeping) the customer service is important for the restaurant to make it's a warm and spacious atmosphere, filled with customers who appreciate Chinese culture—definitely a good sign!

A gentleman serves us with the steaming hot dim sum and provide the names of all the dishes, making the experience feel so polished and professional.

As a homemaker, a cook, a recipe developer and picky eaters.  I must say this is the best dim sum I've ever had in Manchester. 

I usually feel quite apprehensive about eating deep-fried food from outside due to the greasy flavour, but this place uses really fresh oil, and there’s no greasy or rancid taste whatsoever. It’s a genuinely chef. 


You’ll notice that each serving is quite large, not tiny at all. Usually, we don’t eat a lot, but when we go out, especially for dim sum, we love to try as many as we can. 

Only ''Siu Mai'' and ''Savory Meat Croquette'' is not my types.
I expected crab inside since it was called crab meat siu mai, but it had some of pork fat which I'm not a fan of. Savory Meat Croquette I prefer dried shrimp and radish sliced included in the fillings, it will make it more flavourful. However, it's still not bad! For the entire dining experience. I rated it an 8 out of 10.

This Deep Fried Cuttlefish Cake is exceptional! It has a delightful soft and chewy texture, with a perfectly balanced flavor that is neither too salty nor too sweet. It truly tastes as if it were freshly prepared at home, evoking a sense of happiness.

The dim sum is outstanding and generous in portion sizes. Everything is freshly prepared to order, and the prices are incredibly reasonable! 

Everything has been devoured except for the deep fried king prawn ''skin off'', because eating too many deep-fried foods can leave us feeling stuffed, so let's pass on that; it'll be just right. The Jasmine tea is wonderfully fragrant, and we really enjoy it as well. I'm really looking forward to coming back. highly recommend it!

We have explored various Chinese restaurants in and around China town, but none have left a lasting impression on us. Many seemed like tourist traps, prioritizing speed and quantity over quality. After that, we took a brief stroll to Chinatown to capture some footage featuring its iconic symbols.

Strangers come to me and say I look pretty even and they really love my outfit and my favourite brand bag, indeed, they go together perfectly. Plus, red is a traditional colour for good luck in Chinese culture!

The couple requested that we take their photographs and then they treat us the same way.  This has been our signature pose, and it never ceases to be enjoyable, spanning from 2004 to the present day. If time permits, I plan to gather all the photos and videos and compile them. As we age, I hope we can continue this pose for another 20 years.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend. Please take care of yourselves :)
