Linked to casino Manchester 235 (though not part of its reward points scheme), Ocean Treasure beckons from ‘beyond the bamboo curtain’. The look is glitzier and less clichéd than its Chinatown rivals, and the menu is replete with Cantonese standards and round-the-clock dim sum – the only gamble here is in whether you’ll survive the dodgy puns. Late nights are undoubtedly part of the appeal, but an extensive selection of vegetarian dishes is another draw. If you’ve ever wanted to try minced potato on toast, this is the place; salt and pepper aubergine, onion pancakes and spicy ma po tofu are less carby alternatives. Chef’s specials include steamed diver scallops with garlic and glass vermicelli, sesame pak fa duckling and, looking further afield, Vietnamese and Japanese-style takes on fillet steak. Seekers after authenticity may choose to swerve the side dish of salt and chilli pepper-tossed chips.
