If you find yourself in the school canteen from hell that is the Arndale Centre Food Court then be sure to go with Wings, the best of a fast bunch, serving a range of rice and noodle dishes from salt and pepper beef to the sinus-bothering ‘bang bang’ chicken. If you like takeaway Chinese food you’re bound to find something here to suit your palate. It is by no means the best oriental cuisine to be found in the centre of town(that title belongs to The Rice Bowl) but it will absolutely do in a pinch and you’re bound to get a better meal here than at any of the other fast food outlets in the Food Court, even if it will cost you a few pounds more than a Big Mac. A word of warning — I wouldn’t recommend the sushi from here; it’s slimy and warm. If you want cheap, decent quality sushi then get down to Wasabi in the Printworks, just a few minutes’ walk away.

Wing’s is probably your best option in The Arndale Food Court. This is not a huge compliment. The Arndale Food Court is woeful. It is a grease disseminating, sweat emanating, fat oozing hall of fast food establishments. One can easily see and feel the difference in atmospheric conditions as one enters. Fact. KFC, Pizza Hut Express and such woe dominates the food court. Though Wing’s is not in my opinion the most tasty and original authentic Oriental food in Manchester, its probably the best of the options here. They do a huge range of rice and noodle dishes, which can be conveniently taken outside of the food court to be consumed. This will vastly increase your chances of enjoying your food, and of avoiding getting acne. Its not as good as China town, but if you want to grab a quick take-away lunch, I’d certainly recommend something like the Pad Thai from here ahead of an overpriced tiny pizza from Pizza Hut Express that wont fill you up.
