Namii Kitchen & Cocktails in Manchester

Food was fantastic. Cerys was amazing, so helpful recommending dishes/drinks and couldn't do enough for us.

Very good food atmosphere and service. Especially from the waitress Maye

Lovely Vietnamese food, excellent service by our server David and a lovely atmosphere for our son's 20th birthday. A little bit on the expensive side.

Lots of great options on their menu 😋 great service (thanks David!) and a beautiful looking restaurant

Amazing food and experience as always. Sophie was amazing and she made our wedding anniversary a much more memorable one.

A lovely restaurant, amazing food and friendly service. Lots of great options and everything was perfectly prepared. Sophie was our server and she was incredible!

Lovely service and amazing generosity! They are incredibly helpful for creating a special occasion. They host with delicious food and beautiful drink experience.

Ricky was really taking care of us last night. We enjoyed the really good pho and some deep dried pork belly. Dinner was simply awesome.

Great little find in Manchester, nice atmosphere, great service and great food.

Great food. Great service by Dev. Excellent experience. Recommended

Been here a number of times, each time I ordered a different dish to try out. Food is delicious, I enjoyed the pho so much, very soothing and satisfying. Service can be really slow though. In one occasion, some of our mains came before starters, so had to cancel the starter. And in another occasion had to remind our server to bring the bill a few times although the place was not busy at all.

Had a lovely meal here, the food was great inside is very atmosphere and Ellie the server was great, very knowledgable and even gave us a chopsticks demonstration!

The waiter was very nice and gave us recommendations for Manchester. The atmosphere was nice although the music was a bit loud. We had some beef in a great sauce but the pepper beef was quite chewy. The lemongrass chicken was good and i recommend the chicken pho.

David was a real host. Loved the food, really authentic & amazing service 5*

I had really great time, it’s just it was cold and I had my jacket on the whole time, but they good and service was really good. The toilets didn’t have toilet papers, but I will definitely be going there again. As I loved the food and I want to try something new.

David was lovely! Was my first time here and he explained the menu in full detail and was very attentive. Will definitely be back.

To start there were plenty of seats available but we were sat close to the door which was annoying because it was quite chilly. We ordered our drinks and food but my friends main arrived before we even got our drinks and then it was a good ten minutes before my food arrived. I got the crispy aubergine katsu curry with egg fried rice …very meh. The rice was a weird texture and very expensive for an accompaniment (£5.5) . Service was fine but they could have coordinated us getting our food together better. Wouldn’t go back.

Food was really good, lots of flavours and variety. Portion sizes were not small, ordered way more than needed. Our server Josh was great, constantly checked on us and assisted when need. Would definitely come again.

Sophie was very lovely and made our evening very special, thank you!

Dev looked after us and catered to our needs. Food was lovely

Dev was really welcoming and helpful

Visited Namii Kitchen today and food was really great with the atmosphere of the restaurant and service 10/10. Many thanks to Dev

Lovely food. Dev was very welcoming and helpful... thank you for everything

Really enjoyed the food and really nice atmosphere- DEV was a great waiter

Excellent place with really great food and perfect service.

Beautiful place. The menu had a lot of lovely choices. We decided to go for 2 starters for a person- chicken dumplings, chicken wings. And 1 chicken grill option. All three were amazing. I truly believe in quality over quantity and this place did justice to the quality of each plate that we got. Quantity was enough for two of us sharing. Highly recommend the food. The interiors of the place is beautifully done. The vibe was amazing. The high sofa seating with a support for footrest is very thoughtful. Loved the bar area decor and overall. Shoutout to Maye for being so caring and attentive while attending us. Thanks for making our visit a worthwhile.

I have organised a dinner for 2 tables of 12 at Namii for Thursday Events and it went really well!!! The food was amazing as always and the restaurant decorations are so pretty! The menu has been designed by a Vietnamese chef and it really shows! The floral table is a great addition to the restaurant as well, it’s beautiful! Will definitely carry on using this space for my own dinners and my events’ ones. Special mention to Laurel for getting everything nicely organised before the meal! Can’t wait to go back 😍

Had lunch here Quiet place & nice atmosphere A bit expensive but high quality food

Amazing service from Josh, he’s great. Food was good too; I’d recommend the soft shell crab. I do agree with the other review about it being a bit cold inside, though I saw someone else request one of the portable heaters, so it’s nice that they offer that.

From the start our server Maye was amazing! I have coeliac so no gluten and she was very knowledgeable of everything on the menu for me, lovely food and atmosphere, we went on a Tuesday night so it was very quiet but I didn’t mind that at all! Would highly recommend!

We had a large group booking of 18 for a hen party. Our server on the night Maye was brilliant and having a free photo taken, printed out and given to our bride to be with a free drink was a nice touch. Regular and responsive communication with Laurel and the rest of the team was so helpful. All staff were keen to make sure we had a good experience. Lovely cocktails and food. As a large group we were given a tapas style bowl menu. Only reason it’s not 5* for food is some options were a bit different to the ‘test run’ meal we had (arguable even better on the night!) but some would have changed choices if they’d known (e.g. differences in spice level/portion size). But this reflects the fresh cooking which we appreciated. Impressively the staff knew exactly who’d ordered what and service was timed well. Beautiful venue.

Loved the food and there was very friendly wait staff. Thank you Sophie

I recently visited Namii Kitchen and cocktails, a nice Vietnamese spot. The menu had a great selection. We ordered Szechuan black pepper beef, shaking beef, dumplings, noodles, and the most delicious sticky coconut rice. Josh, our server was friendly and efficient. He offered recommendations when I asked. Overall, it is a fantastic restaurant with flavorful dishes and generous portions. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Great food, terrible service. We asked for tap water for the table (we also bought 2 cocktails for £26 so we weren't just being cheap). They brought out bottled water and charged £5 for it. The waitress accidentally knocked one of the glasses of water with a plate and smashed it then replaced the glass but didn't offer any replacement for the water. The waitress spilled food on my sister while serving the pho and when it came to getting the bill I had to go and find a different member of staff at the bar after 15 minutes as the waitress was nowhere to be seen. Be aware they do add a service charge to your bill but on this occasion we asked for them to take it off as the service was shocking. I wouldn't normally do that but felt I had to on this occasion.

Found experience quite disappointing considering the other reviews! Restaurant was absolutely freezing, we sat with our coats on. Expensive, overcharged for drinks we didn't have and charged £23 for service. Had nicer food and experience elsewhere in Manchester! Won't go back or recommend to friends!

Food was lovely, margaritas good and Josh our waiter was amazing - so lovely and had plenty of time for us ! Thank you x

Great spot, loved the food. Drinks are great, served by Josh who was really on it.

We had an amazing time here!! Everything was perfect but special shout out to our waitress Maye who gave us impeccable service, we'll definitley be back soon

Exceptional booking experience with Laurel Tan! She was incredibly accommodating and made the entire process seamless. The venue itself is perfect for hosting unforgettable parties — the team truly goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. Communication was outstanding from start to finish. I highly recommend booking this venue for your next event!

The food and service were amazing. I recommend the chicken dumplings and Katsu Cari. All employees were amazing.

Nice atmosphere, excellent service from Josh, giving 4/5 because of Pho Ga, which wasn’t really up to our taste (could be better without the charcoaled chicken breast) and we found quite a few bones in the broth; otherwise other dishes we had were good.

Atmosphere was incredibly. The lighting, music, beautiful tables and decorations in addition to the spectacular service. Shout out to Maye for her incredible cocktails and Laurel for being an amazing host!

The food alone would've been 5 stars but the service really ruined it for us. From sitting down we probably waited 15/20 minutes, in an empty restaurant with only 2 other tables, for our order to be taken. After we got our drinks/food the server didn't come around once. We wanted another drink but couldn't get one. We had finished our food and waited another 20 minutes until we finally were able to get the server to come over to us. Then he stood chatting to the other employees for 10 minutes before bringing the machine. Really disappointed as there was barely anyone in there. Food was spot on, and the kitchen was really quick.

Been for family dinner , pre-booked Saturday evening. Entered to a freezing seating area . Requested for them to put on heater . They did but its oil heater which will hours to even warm up. We all had keep our coats on and eat in shivering in cold. Atleast was expecting a good food for the price that was a disappoint as well. Starters were ok , but mains were just some rice noodles in warm water with absolutely no taste of anything . Barely had any chicken pieces or tofu in it. Overpriced and overhyped place. On top mandatory 12 % service tax which we wouldnt mind if its worth it. Wouldn't recommend!

Food was excellent and the service (Iris) was great. Perfect timing between courses. Attentive and quick when I asked for the bill. 10/10 will go again.

beautiful meal out with my friend, the cocktails and food were outstanding! Service was impeccable - one of the tastiest Asian restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. Can’t fault anything with our experience at this restaurant. The wish dragon cocktail was delicious. 10/10!

Quick lunch for 1, great service from David and a tasty bun cha. Would have liked to see more veg in the dish though. Only came with some herbs, a tiny bit of pickled carrot/radish and some raw onion. Would come back.

Had a really good time on a quiet Sunday. Our server Sophie was an absolute gem, attentive, friendly and good banter. Definitely try the fritters and a cocktail

The service was very nice and speedy. However, the table was dirty when we sat. The food tasted OK, not worth the price. I had the luc lac Lao, trembling beef and it was very spicy. I did not mind the spiciness as it fit well with my palate. However, there should have been a note on the menu stating how spicy it is. I double checked the menu to see if it was mentioned, but it isn’t. I think this is a quite ameteur restaurant management. The starters were quite small portions and very pricy.

Very good food and drinks. Decor is very cool and staff super friendly. Samantha, our host, was very friendly and gave some good recommendations :)

Sophie was really lovely to us during our visit to Namii. She was really welcoming and helpful with the menu and made our experience that much better :)

Josh did a great service and the food was amazing!

Ellie was a star, so glad she was our server, super helpful. Food was banging, service was fantastic, cocktails were unreal.will be back k again

Server Josh was great but restaurant added a £40 service charge. Restaurant was lovely vibes and great service. Food came out hot and fresh with great flavour but had no heating and portable heaters. Would come again

food was amazing! service was fast and all the waiters were very friendly and welcoming! I would definitely recommend! Leah was amazing 🫶🏼

Would definitely come back again, was amazing all around!

Delicious beef pho. Would highly recommend

Maye was super lovely Thankyou for the recommendations lovely place great food huge recommend

Lovely food as always and our server Ellie was veery accommodating and found something we had seen in the bar but wasn’t on the menu and got us exactly what we wanted, so a massive thanks to her

Me and my girlfriend went for valentines and it was great, the atmosphere was welcoming and the food was amazing, Maye was very helpful and friendly, I really recommend!

Great food, great service and lovely atmosphere

Amazing food and lovely waitresses! Thank you!

David is the man. Excellent service and delicious food.

Delicious food & a great, welcoming service from David, thank you so much!

Josh was super attentive. Cocktail list very tempting. Fritters were heavenly

Excellent food and excellent service from Josh. Thank you

The space is beautiful and staff were really nice. It’s a shame the waiting time was really long, there was only 5 of us. The dishes came nicely presented, quite pricy for how much you get, the flavour was okay but not wow especially for the price and atmosphere of restaurant.

Lovely decor, nice food, the service was great! Our server David was very friendly and attentive and was very helpful in guiding us through the menu.

I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch, the place was empty but I really enjoyed the quiet atmosphere. I indulged myself with 2 spicy margarita and had the black tiger prawn rice, which was tasty and filling. Even though I was full, i had the pork belly, which was cut into eight portions. Everytohmg was great from the service to the food.

This place is phenomenal!! Love the service and food. Quite affordable too if wanting quality.

The overall experience for my 30th birthday couldn’t have went better from the event down to the food and the service was elite organised a private menu to facilitate for my drinks brand and stayed open until on a extended licence for me so the over all experience was great well worth it. Special thanks to Laurel David and Dev For making this a birthday to remember and the high quality of service Event planner: Laurel (me) Managers: David and dev

Fantastic food, drinks and phenomenal service by David. Will definitely be back!

Delicious food and very knowledgeable staff - happy to help you find the right cocktail and dish

Namii Kitchen exceeded our expectations! The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portions that left us completely satisfied. The waiting time was just right, allowing us to enjoy a relaxed meal without feeling rushed. Our waiter, Iris, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and made our experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for great food and excellent service, Namii Kitchen is the place to go. Highly recommended!

Reccomended place, asian food..

David was a wonderful bartender and gave excellent service :)

David was amazing, very friendly and he explained everything on the menu very clearly. The food was good definitely recommend.

What a fantastic find. Beautiful food, very authentic and lovely atmosphere and ambience. Special thanks to David. Very welcoming and warm. Will definitely be back soon.

It was really quiet the afternoon we went but still a very pleasant dining experience. David our server certainly went the extra mile and nothing was too much trouble. The menu was very extensive and David explained all the different dishes and recommended certain things after asking our preffered types of food. Definite recommendation from us.

Food was okay but not worth the price and the atmosphere was below par. First time eating here and sadly it will also be the last. After reading reviews we were pretty optimistic about the place. Menu looked nice, cocktails sounded interesting and the decor from the pictures all looked great. Upon arrival we noticed it looked pretty empty but we had an early booking (4.30) so put it down to this. We then got shown to our table which is the point our experience took a turn for the worse. There appeared to be a total of 3-4 couples all sat at a small square table. The tables were in a line all in very close proximity to eachother and with a very quiet atmosphere it felt like you could hear every word of eachothers conversation. Now I understand that this is not the only place in Manchester to have a layout like this but when you are paying the prices they are charging we were expecting at the very least to have some privacy whilst dining. After sitting down for about 5 minutes we then noticed several electric heaters dotted around the place. Clearly the place has an issue with cold temperatures and we seemed to have been given a table that was badly effected by this. Maybe this is the reason all the customers were bunched so closely together so we could all radiate body heat amongst us? It was that cold that coats are recommended. Just not the experience you expect when paying over £100 for 2 people to eat out at all. We were then greeted by the waitress who explained the menu. We were told that the way it works here is that the dishes just come out when they are ready and it was said in such a way to make it seem like this was some kind of perk or selling point. This to me just seems a lazy approach as it suggests they are putting zero effort into planning out the timing of the cooking. My preference is to know the order of my food and for the food to arrive at the same time for both of us to eat together. There was around 20 to 30 minute wait before the first dish arrived. In terms of the food, the chicken rice rolls were actually really good. The dragons breath pork noodles were also tasty. However, the rest of the food we had ordered was nothing to write home about sadly. All in all, when comparing Namii Kitchen to other places in the area at a similar cost (Tattu or Ivy Asia for example) this place just is not in the same league.

Amazing, first time and definitely not the last

The food was lovely! Our server Maye was very helpful and attentive 😊

Had a lovely meal with Dev as our server! Great atmosphere and service. We got 4 small plates between two of us - highly recommend the lady fingers!

Absolutely incredible food! The service was beyond friendly, our server Maye was very kind and helpful (and I loved the makeup 🩷) Looking forward to coming here again!!

Maye was a fantastic host, the food is incredible and the vibes are immaculate. It’s an expensive meal, but worth the money for sure

Food was rallye good Had the pho soup... after long time I tasted a really good soup Everything was good Only it was in the restaurant cold... mabe there heating system broke down Otherwise was Everything good

Thank you so much to mayi for her service. My friends and I had a really nice time! The food was soo good and I really enjoyed my orient express cocktail.

I went today to this amazing place. Where I found the great food, pretty much tastes and the atmosphere so warm. Although, the greatest thing was the staff (David), so cordial and friendly, thanks David. I’ll come back for sure;)

Very delicious, the service is very good

Food and service were absolutely great. Manager on duty has major customer service issues.

Had a great time with my friends on the last day of 2024 at Namii. The service was amazing. Our server David is friendly and observant. The food portion was huge. We were so full but then we had some desserts and tea as well. The mango sticky rice and yuzu cheesecake were good to share. The tea pots are so pretty; David said the owner bought the pots from Hong Kong. The tea was fragrant and put a soothing ending to our meal.

The ambience is really beautiful, but that's where the positive impressions end. We booked the New Year's Eve special for £56 per person, the food was really mediocre. The main course was a steak and absolutely not edible, apart from the fact that it didn't arrive at the same time and I had to watch my friend eat it for fifteen minutes, it was full of tendons and absolutely not edible. Our drinks didn't arrive all evening either. I was told that they would take the steak off the bill, but they still barely deducted anything considering how much the steak normally costs, and they simply charged a service fee of 12%, which I find questionable, because it's not common anywhere here and wasn't specified anywhere beforehand, and for a service where I didn't even get drinks for 2 hours and the food was completely postponed? Very questionable and anything but justified.

Had a nice time David was sound

Service and ambience were wonderful :) the food tasted really great but imho just too expensive especially when rice has to be ordered separately and the main dish just isnt big enough on its own. Therefore one star less.

This restaurant has honestly been the best restaurant I've ever been to visit. The food was outstanding and the staff where very kind and pleasant to talk with. The vibe of the restaurant is also very pretty. Very Instagramable! Highly recommend this place

Really delicious food (veggie Pho yum) and the staff were super kind and welcoming (thanks Ellie!) ☺️

Our servers were Maye and Sam and they were honestly lovely, i left a comment asking for a little birthday surprise and they remembered and brought out a little happy birthday dessert, they were so lovely and helped us through the menu as we were there for the first time, they gave great suggestions, the food was amazing, it was something different for us but we ended up enjoying it and having a great experience

Josh was superb, excellent service. Food was delicious and cocktails were lovely. Will be back!

David was very attentive and the food was very tasty! The music was slightly too loud for a lunchtime service. We will definitely return when we’re back in Manchester.

choose wisely my friends having looked at the reviews, we were looking forward to this. Seemed like this was a restaurant that could cook weird sounding dishes that would be delicious This is not the case Deep fried battered Okra? Great. With deep fried battered padron peppers? Err, ok? With a sweet and sour sauce? Well this sounds too weird to be good, I'm in. Then it arrives and has some raw cherry tomatoes and POMEGRANATE seeds. These things do not belong on the same dish together and definitely not in your mouth at the same time. Bizarre and not in a good way. Plus some of the padron peppers were definitely just big chunks of normal green peppers. The other dishes were average at best, but there were other people there who seemed to be happy, so can only imagine we just chose poorly. Cocktails were good and the staff friendly. 3 stars (-3 for the pomegranate, +1 for the portable heaters and the pink decor)
