Restaurant

Man-Li (Manli)

Review Summary

Overall, Man-Li reviews present a mix of strong positives and several cautions. Diners repeatedly praise the food as tasty, fresh, and well portioned, with many longtime customers expressing loyalty and noting that some orders were excellent, including a first order that impressed. Delivery is often described as fast and reliable, and the food is considered among the best Chinese by some reviewers. Yet there are repeated concerns about service and value, including rude or dismissive responses when issues were raised, accusations of dishonesty, and a lack of compensation after complaints, which led some patrons to stop ordering. Specific problems include occasional missing beef in noodles, rotten chicken wings with a bad odor, and a perceived decline in hot and sour soup quality, as well as warnings to avoid crispy chicken due to oily, smell-prone frying. Some patrons shifted from pickup to delivery after pickup discounts ended, while others continued to enjoy items like egg rolls, dumplings, and pork dishes when the meals were consistent.View restaurant profile

Saint-Jérôme

International Asian Italian Greek Chinese Salads

Review Summary

Reviews of Saveurs des Continents describe a large all you can eat concept offering a broad continent-spanning selection with fresh salads, sushi, crab legs, prawns, pastas and desserts and a lively, family-friendly atmosphere, with many noting good value for the variety and a clean, welcoming setting; yet experiences vary widely by visit and location, with some praising fast service, attentive staff and quick clearing of plates, while others report slow or uneven service, dishes that are cold or overly salty, limited variety on some nights, and frustration over paying up front and automatic tipping or mandatory gratuity. Several comments highlight halal options added to the buffet and a preference for dinner hours to access extra choices; others mention price being high for what is offered and call for improvements in cleanliness, especially bathrooms, and in beverage service. Overall, Saveurs des Continents is seen as a solid option for groups and celebrations for those seeking a wide range of flavors, but not a five star experience, with calls for more consistent quality, better balance between variety and quality, and clearer labeling of halal items.View restaurant profile
