Was my first time going here and it was a great experience! The food is delicious and it was served quick. A very good sized portion for the price point. I would highly recommend :)

Absolutely love this restaurant. I definitely recommend checking out the "Very Chinese" section of their menu because it's all consistently delicious. We really like the broccoli and cauliflower dry pot, crispy pepper chicken, and the black pepper beef. We always leave happy, full, and with leftovers to take home! Just to clarify on the price, when in a group I always insist we order family style. That's about 1 - 2 dishes per person. It's so worth it and the food brings back such good memories of my time in Beijing!

Very pleased with the "Very Chinese Menu" offerings, the spice level for my dish was excellent! Great service too, when I went for lunch.

The staff here are always so kind and helpful. The guy who I believe is the owner is very friendly and welcoming. The food never disappoints in terms of flavor, portion size, and price. I always have leftovers to take home :) I usually get the fried rice with chicken, lo mein with chicken, broccoli beef stir fry, or the general tao chicken. This has been one of my go-to spots in Fredericton for years, and I've never had a negative experience. Very surprised by the other reviews...

My husband and I visited Thai Manao Restaurant on a Monday for lunch (around 2.30 pm) and we were seated right away. Food: We ordered ramen, sweet and sour pork stir & bibimap (with pork belly). Everything was flavourful and portion sizes are generous. We also got a Tao Chicken rice as a take away. Service: our server was young and served quick. Ambiance: With slow music and just enough light on the background, the restaurant has a calm atmosphere. The rest rooms are clean.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant today! The beef noodles were incredibly delicious, and the staff was so friendly and attentive. They happily accommodated our request for extra noodles and beef, which made the meal even more enjoyable. The owner was also super kind and welcoming. When we accidentally left something behind, they reached out right away and helped us recover it. It was our first time visiting New Brunswick, but the warm hospitality made us feel right at home. Such a wonderful place – highly recommend!

It's been a few months, since before covid, that I've been able to visit Thai Manao. It's always awesome, but it was the first time in over a year that I tried the curry, and this Pinang curry was a surprise. When I got it, it looked incredible, chili oil mingling with but not disappearing into the sauce, and when I took a bite, what a heavenly, beautiful flavour. I would say this is the best-tasting Asian dish I've had in Fredericton. Also, though the server was extremely busy with skipthedishes orders, she still managed to check in on us when needed. And then the bill was only around 30 for two beautiful entrees and a small appetizer. Completely satisified
