We were driving back to North Carolina from DC when we found ourselves hungry and in Richmond- a…read morequick search on Yelp brought us to Manchu! This is a no-frills, hole-in-the-wall spot serving New Orleans-style fried wings, po' boys, and other comfort food. We got a bunch of stuff: - Crowd Pleaser (with fried fish, wings, Cajun fries, egg fried rice): The fish & wings were crispy perfection & still super juicy. We had them with the two most popular sauces- Mambo and sriracha aoili, both were delicious. The fries & fried rice were classic- the person working recommended eating the rice with a sweet sauce I don't remember the name of and gave it to us without any additional cost, which was so nice. - Shrimp Po' Boy: Again, fried & seasoned to perfection! - Chicken Banh Mi: This is a great option if you're wanting to avoid fried foods! Loved the refreshing veggies (cucumber, carrot, jalapeño) & creamy aioli. I do think it was missing pâté though. - Gumbo: Super comforting. Ambiance isn't really applicable since Manchu is take out only (there are some seats for waiting). Service was great, very friendly & fast. There is a free parking lot right next to the restaurant. 10/10 would recommend!

Food: Simply put- mind-blowing flavors. I had the crab clusters and they were amazing but expect to be messy in the best way possible. Each side I ordered was equally impressive. I'd highly recommend their fried corn and okra. Seeing it on the menu brought a smile to my face. Atmosphere: It was relaxing and quiet as the buzz from the chef in the kitchen prepared amazingly delectable treats in this mom-and-pop-style establishment. Please treat yourself and support this small business as it is truly a gem in the rough.

I want to start by saying that when I do a food review, I try to be as understanding and objective…read moreas possible. I am kind and generous in my critique and try to maintain a professional decorum. With that said, I ordered four pieces of Whiting, sweet potato fries, green beans, and three chicken thighs. All of it was garbage!!! I expected four normal-sized pieces of fish, but instead, I received cut-bite-sized fish. The grease that was used to fry this fish was not fresh. My chicken thighs looked and tasted like they had been cooked some days ago. I received approximately 11 fries, and the green beans came straight out of the can with no seasoning. I understand that we live in trying times, but this is ridiculous. Usually, I would give restaurants the benefit of the doubt, but I can honestly say this is a one-and-done for me.

Mariscos El Barco has been on my RestaurWANT to Try list for some time now. I'm a huge fan of ceviche and have heard incredible things about theirs. We weren't too hungry so decided to share a guacamole and the ceviche de pescado. Do know that they have very generous portions here with great prices. We were seated immediately, there is plenty of indoor seating. The walls are yellow and they have cute seats that look boat themed. It's located in a space that looks like a home. There is plenty of parking in their parking lot out front. Our waitress was kind and attentive. Our food came out pretty quickly. The guacamole is incredible. It's absolutely delicious and elevated by some lime. I highly recommend ordering this. They bring you out chips to start with so you can use those for any additional dipping. I think I can be picky with ceviche. It was still really good and I would be interested to return to try more seafood dishes off their menu.

Amazing food here, well worth a visit. The outside of the building looks like a house, so I was…read moreinitially wary. But the inside looks like a very local and authentic Mexican joint, well kept up, clean and comfortable. It's not a touristy spot and that is absolutely its appeal. The staff don't speak a whole lot of English but they speak enough for anyone to get by pretty easily. We've returned for dinner a couple times now, and always leave satisfied. BIG portions. You can easily split most dishes, and the larger portions of the appetizers (ceviche for example) can be easily split among big parties. They are absolutely a seafood restaurant, so don't expect much else. But there is a lot of variety to their seafood menu and everything is delicious.

I had this place in my bookmark for some time now, and I was very pleased with almost everything! I was very satisfied with our meal overall, I would say the mac n cheese while well seasoned, was slightly over cooked, there were some hardened pieces of noodles in the mix. Now the customer service was great, I didn't catch the gentlemen's name who was working alone, but he was very friendly and attentive! Unfortunately the cleanliness can be better we had to wipe down our own sitting area and the floors were kinda sticky. Granted there was only one person working, so maybe that could be the reason? Overall I would come back, maybe try the downtown location next.

Hard shell, soft, or street style. The al pastor brings that sweet-savory balance, and the carne asada is well-seasoned and satisfying. It's one of the best value plays in Richmond. Pair it with their strong but affordable happy hour margaritas and your Tuesday is handled. And it's not just about the deal -- the giant burritos smothered in queso, the shrimp & scallop quesadilla, and the whole fried fish all deliver. The fish comes out golden, crisp, and properly seasoned -- a plate that turns heads when it hits the table. Cozy atmosphere, welcoming service, true neighborhood energy.
