Great menu, great food. Service sloppy. Had red wine spilt on the tablecloth and on one of our party by waiter. One of the dishes brought out wasnt as ordered. Not even an apology or discount offered. We wont be back till it changes hands. More

My Husband and I took our 4 children (13-5) out to dinner at Man Bo Restaurant and I must say that the service was first class. The staff was always polite and anticipated our every need. The staff were great with the children and always had a kind word to say. The food was to die for. We had fantastic... More

What once used to be a Geelong Chinese experience is now seriously disappointing. Regular diners over a number of years and have noticed the quality of food deteriorating on each visit. We had the banquet at our last visit. Underwhelming to say the least. Courses arrived to each guest at different times, food particularly the calamari was tough, beef was... More

Just to step into a foreign atmosphere, unexpectedly, is worth it. Memories of China and discussions of our next trip there have to give this place some true credibility. The only dish we really wanted to try is the Peking duck. It was reminiscent of the “real thing “we savoured back in Beijing more than a decade ago. Other dishes... More

Used to be good before the owners renovated. Went for dinner after the renovations and the wait staff couldn't communicate with the kitchen staff. Waited an hour for our meal. My partners meal was served 20 minutes before mine. Pricey for a chinese restaurant and not worth it for the price. More

We first ate at this Chinese Restaurant several years ago. We returned there this December as we wanted a Chinese meal. Wow what a transformation! The foyer and dining room have been completely redesigned and upgraded. Although the dining area is vast, the use of curtains and a raised area has created 3 areas which makes it a more intimate...

I have always enjoyed Man Bo. The Peking duck is a particular recommendation as is the dim sum. Great decor. Not cheap but worth it. More

We went to mambo with friends from melbourne. The service, meal and bill were all terrible. Could not believe what we were charged for what we got. A joke. More

We went to Man Bo with overseas visitors. Were very impressed by the decor, quite opulent, modern but with traditional touches, but that was as good as it got. It was a Sunday night, which seemed to be training night, staff seemed unskilled in the basics, eg menu on arrival? rice bowls on the table, bringing all the meals at... More
