Wolf at the Door Reviews Summary

Menu Variety and Quality

Pros:

• "Simple menu but packs a flavour punch."
• "Fab food & drinks at great prices! We tried lots off the menu and loved everything we had."
• "Incredible atmosphere and great upbeat music, if you want a chill night out of a bar with the ability to dance and also chat this is your place!"
• "Immediately felt welcome, food was delicious and service was speedy!"
• "Great bar/restaurant! Superb choice of drinks and the food is really well priced to allow you to build your own plate."
• "Love this spot. Great decor and vibe and such great, friendly staff! The food is tasty, cheap and beautifully presented."
• "Fantastic place, went here two days in a row because the pork fries were just so good."
• "Food is amazingly cheap and mean cheap, bao buns start at a £1 and the rest is not much more expensive."

Cons:

• "Bao's and Taco's are worth trying and had nice flavours. Unfortunately none of us liked fries, Would expect nicer fries than any fast food chains."
• "My only criticism would be the buns/ tacos can go cold quickly."
• "Taco's & Bao's done to perfection. Cheap & cheerful price, starting from £1! You can spend a take away level price for gastro food flavours."
• "The food 🤩. Tacos might be a bit hard sometimes but other than that it is amazing!"
• "Shrimp bao and nacho taco and chicken nacho bao were delicious. Black ban and chicken tacos not so much."
• "Food was outstanding, in particular the beef short rib and the lamb skewers. Cocktails and drinks also excellent, unusual and complex."
• "Very cheap tacos and baos. Not great variety, and not great quality either. It's a fun experience to try some while drinking a couple drinks, not much more than that."
• "Cheap Anglo/Chinese style tapas place, is that such a thing. For around a tenner you can get a handful of small plates."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "£1 tacos and baos should be enough to get you through the door straight away!"
• "What amazed me the most was the affordability of the food."
• "Ordering in food comes surprisingly cheap with quality far and beyond expectation."
• "Stopped for a quick bite for lunch as we were attracted by the 1£ tacos and bao buns the night before."
• "A hidden gem in Manchester! The baos and tacos are delicious and some for only £1 - cannot complain!"
• "Great selection of drinks, and an amazing menu. Both the tacos and bao buns were fantastic. For £1-£3 per serving, absolute steal."
• "Really delicious food which came quickly even though the restaurant was quite busy. Loads of nice beers to choose from."
• "The food and drinks are super delicious and priced amazingly and the staff are always lovely."

Cons:

• "The drinks are VERY expensive compared to the food but it is to be expected."
• "Also the drink prices are ridiculous - definitely don’t order the cocktails."
• "£9 for a pint, no prices on the bar. Craft beer bars are always expensive but that deserves a warning before you’re hit with the bill."
• "Why wouldn't you have a till? I get it's table service but when you're waiting 20 mins for 2 half-pints, 30p service charge for a service you never asked for, bit annoying really."
• "Not the best. Really pricey drinks with a terrible lack of selection and tiny amounts for a high price."
• "bad prices. Shots cost 7 pounds(the one I got) and they even say to you that prices are quite expensive when you compare them with prices in the same street."
• "Ah man. Rude door staff. Rude server. Called us all blind for grabbing a seat when it was quiet."

• "Half my food came and when I asked the waiter half an hour later where the other bits I ordered were I was met with a rather unhelpful and arrogant attitude."
• "Horrific customer service, staff quite clearly didn't want to be there and made it quite obvious they couldn't be bothered."
• "Awful experience that I had with this establishment, the security guy told me I couldn't use my Portuguese flag, treat me in a rude way."
• "Extremely rude guy behind the bar. My friend and I had never been before and went to order at the bar."
• "Very disappointing. Discriminatory door staff, letting other customers in before other groups."

• "The only complaint would be the level of the music, almost club volume! Not great when you want a relaxing drink after work."
• "Despite the crazy waiting times at the moment WATD is the place to be going if you want to indulge in great Bao Buns that don’t cost the earth, but taste great with a wide mix of variety."
