The first time I came here the staff were really attentive and the food was delicious. Good big servings of authentic asian food for a good price. Cannot understate how good the ramen soup is!! The sweet potato katsu curry was also tasty

Nice selection of food from east Asia asked for my ramen extra spicy and extra chillies and wow they delivered on the heat, had chicken gyoza for starter however they were lukewarm and had to be sent back no issues they were replaced for dessert I had mochi Ive not had them before but would recommend them. Good selection of alcoholic drinks I had a couple of cocktails and a few beers.

I absolutely love this place. I visited with my friend who I hadn't seen for a while. It's a similar set up to wagamama, where you're sitting on tables beside people you don't know, but I didn't mind this. The atmosphere is great, but the food is something else. What I really like is that most dishes can be made vegan, which is great because I will be able to come with my brother. I've found that since my brother turned vegan, we've struggled to find places that do more than just one token vegan option, so this place really hits the mark. Strongly recommend

I really like its menu, it has a great variety of choices, not just restricted to one particular Asian cuisine, you can order Thai, Japanese, Chinese whatever you fancy. Thats the reason it attracted to us trying Tampopo out. While the food and service is quite good, its actually not too bad at all, however this restaurant is really small and tables are all long benches, so everyone has to sit together, it could be quite crowded, I was actually sitting right next to a stranger without a seat apart, which is not very nice.

Great place to eat
We found this place when were exploring Manchester after a Uni open day. The place was buzzing. Very lively with a great friendly atmosphere. Our waiter was JamesB. He was great, very chatty, very knowledgeable about the food, was happy to chat about Manchester too. The food was delicious and arrived quickly. We ordered a few starter dishes and shared them tapas style. Couldn't fault the service, the food or the restaurant. We will definitely return when we next visit Manchester.
