Man Mo Restaurant
42 NewQuay Promenade
Docklands VIC 3008
You would expect something special from a restaurant situated on Docklands waterfront precinct, but I was rather disappointed with Man Mo.
The food
The presentation of the food is admirable, however the taste was quite bland. I ordered the Singapore Noodles, and despite asking not to have egg in it, it was brought out full of egg. I did not make a complaint, or request a re-do.
My peers also felt the same way with some of their dishes. The timely serving of the food was appreciated.
The ambience
There is no doubt the restaurant is impeccable, and it has to be if situated at Docklands New Quay. The tables were well dressed, the staff wore nice uniforms, and were well kempt. This is something I would have expected from a restaurant of this caliber.
The price
Surprisingly the cost of food was competitive. I was expecting an average main to cost $30.00, (although some did), but the overall bill for 4 people came to around $120, which is fair and reasonable.
The service
Something to be desired for. I felt the staff wanted us out of the restaurant as quick as we came in. No smile, no explanation of what they were serving, but the bill came promptly. Good for us, as we promptly left the place to have dessert at St Elsewhere.
Summary – Rating (5.5/10)
It’s not a bad place, however not what I expected from a restaurant of it’s calibre (or supposed calibre). The service really let it down!!
