Tampopo in Manchester

Alyssa has great customer service!

My host Emily was amazing! The thai red curry was also delicious.

Good food . Excellent service. Kira was ever so helpful

Lovely atmosphere and the food was delicious. Loads of halal options and good food for a great price 10/10 would recommend.

The food was really amazing and Alyssa was such a great waitress. Will definitely come back for the great food and service!!

waitress called emily was really sweet

We visited tampopo on Saturday afternoon after a family day in Manchester and i cannot recommend it highly enough. Upon entering the staff were very friendly and so attentive. They helped make our visit even better especially Lottie she was wonderful a great server and so pleasant. She was great with our children as well. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. We would definitely recommend this to any families.

Lottie was very personable, with a great smile to boot!

Lottie was very polite and helpful. Food was delicious as always.

I would like to thank Lottie for looking after us today

Georgi was lovely and great service

We have eaten great! Alyssa is a great waitress, attentive and friendly.

Beautifully fresh cooked food. Friendly staff and relaxed vibe. Love it here

Ellie gave out some of the best recommendations and the best service as well. All the staffs were friendly and helpful. Would recommend the pad thai to everyone.

Good service and relaxed atmosphere

This was my second visit to Tampopo. The first time was great, so I was looking forward to returning. Unfortunately, this time was quite disappointing. We had booked a table for the last slot of the evening at 9pm. We arrived a little early, but as soon as we sat down, we were told we had to order immediately because the kitchen would be closing. If the kitchen closes at 9pm, it’s confusing why the system allows a 9pm reservation. It felt rushed and didn’t start the evening off well. We ordered starters and mains. One of the starters, the spring rolls, was extremely oily (not what I would expect from a place with Tampopo’s reputation). It felt like less care had been taken with the preparation, perhaps because it was the final order of the night. One of the mains was a fish dish with a sauce that was overwhelmingly spicy, althlugh spice level was 2/3). Just a small amount had both of us in tears. I don't believe anyone can eat that. The fish itself was unfortunately undercooked and raw near the bone. To their credit, the staff handled it professionally, promptly removing the dish from our bill and offering us the chance to order something else. However, since the kitchen had already closed, that wasn’t really a realistic option. To add to the experience, there was no soap available in the men's toilet, something I luckily noticed before using it. Overall, while the staff were polite and tried to handle the issues as best they could, the evening was disappointing. I hope this was just a one-off experience, as my first visit had been so positive.

Had great food, reasonably priced and great service by Holly ☺️

Evie was a great host, our food and drink was quick

Amazing food, great staff, always a winner 👍

Very welcoming, food 5star Our waitress Alyssa had some great recommendations that we went with and they didn’t disappoint, can’t wait to return to try a few more things on the menu Thanks for a great meal Tampopo see you again soon Carl and Marie

Great evening and food. Not too laud so one can have a decent conversation without shouting to each-other.

really kind staff, food was great!

Emily was a lovely! everything was great :)

One of our favorite restaurants. We were very pleased with Emily's service, she was extremely sweet and caring. Thank you 😊

Tampopo in Manchester offers a fantastic Pan-Asian dining experience with a vibrant, cozy atmosphere and a diverse menu featuring dishes from across East Asia. The highlight of the meal has to be their Beef Rendang, which truly stole the show with its slow-cooked, richly spiced flavors of coconut, lemongrass, chili, shallots, and galangal—an extraordinary dish that leaves a lasting impression. The service at Tampopo is equally impressive, with hosts like Alyssa and Emily providing awesome, friendly, and attentive hospitality that enhances the overall experience. Their warm welcome and helpfulness make dining here even more enjoyable. Overall, Tampopo combines delicious, well-seasoned food with excellent service and a relaxed vibe, making it a top choice for Asian cuisine in Manchester.

Food is good but very overpriced for what you get, £15 for curry that doesn't come with rice and the rice is £5, the gyoza needs a separate dipping sauce too.

Kira + Lottie were DELIGHTFUL, great happy hour and light bites

I had a fantastic meal at Tampopo in Manchester. The Vegan options are absolute must-try. Service was top-tier from Lottie: attentive, efficient, and professional. The ambiance is warm and authentic, with charming Pan Asian-inspired decor. Great value for money—highly recommend if you’re in town!

Fantastic dining as ever, special thanks to our server Emily.

Great little find. Friendly and welcoming staff, great food.

It was my first visit to Tampopo. The food and service was excellent. Emily couldn’t have been more helpful or attentive. I’ll be going again.

Such a lovely experience with delicious food and a really attentive team. Special shout out to our server Alyssa. Will be back and already recommending to friends & family!

Lovely birthday meal. The food and service are very good here. Servers Kira and Lottie were very attentive and couldn’t do enough for us

Alyssa was an excellent waitress!!!

I have visited here before and felt like the food quality/ experience has changed quite a lot. I preferred my last visit. I got the Nasi Goreng and felt it was full of cherry tomatoes and the cucumber on the side which for me personally did not go. Was not worth £17 at all.

Lottie was really helpful and a nice host and made me feel welcome love a girls girl 💕

Lottie was very friendly and offered great service!

food was overall good and most of the service good but some of them very intrusive and rude and interrupted when talking and didn’t seem to care particularly about customer service

Fab food and experience. Emily was chatty and friendly with great recommendations for food. Thank you!

Excellent food and service. Lisa was an excellent host!

Lovely flavour with food and nice sized portions. Alyssa was attentive and nice service with a smile

Excellent friendly service, good quality food.

Great food, great ambiance, friendly staff, would definitely go again when we're in the area. I had whole sea bream and jasmine rice followed by chocolate fondant. All perfectly cooked, nicely spiced and delicious. I also thought it was good value compared with similar restaurants.

This place is amazing everytime I come I enjoy it. Always love the food and Ruby was a great server. We had fast and polite service. Will obviously come again.

Great food. Great atmosphere. Loved the ramans. 10/10

Lovely meal, well looked after by Georgi. I’d recommend the tenderstem broccoli dish - way better than you’d expect!

Food was good, although the spring rolls were a tad too greasy. Service excellent: quick, friendly, helpful, courteous. (Server was Emily)

Very friendly service and very tasty food!

Fab food and even better service and atmosphere

Happy hour after 9pm! Alyssa recommended a really good drink - My Thai. It was really good!

Emily was great! Amazing service

Great service and food. Thanks Emily!

we went to tampopo on sunday and it was absolutely phenomenal lottie was our server and she was fabulous, couldn’t do enough for us. we had the pad thai which was like an omelette and the pad ka-pow the flavour was fab. The service was better than anywhere i’ve been before

Alyssa was very attentive and the food was delicious as usual

Delicious food and super sweet waitresses! Alyssa and Rachel, definitely recommended!!

Very pleasant service and the food is divine. We arrive a little late but they still served us. Alyssa was wonderful in making us feel welcome. Highly recommend.

Emily, who served us, was great. Just the right balance between attentiveness and leaving us tonit

Food was very tasty, services was great & the server Emily was friendly and helpful.

Lottie & Ruby were absolute super stars 🥰

Fab food. Really impressed with the service - I was tucked away in a dim corner but never had to wait long for attention and the bill arrived without prompting. Perfect!

A group of six of us came here for dinner, and sadly it was one of the worst food experiences I’ve had in a long time. While the service was good and staff were friendly, the food quality was abysmal. Absolutely nothing had any flavour – everything was dry and bland. The satay sauce tasted like ginger paste mixed with crushed peanuts, and the chicken skewers looked (and tasted) like processed chicken nuggets. I’d honestly have preferred a McDonald’s. We spent £170 between us, but honestly, even £20 would’ve felt like too much for what we were served. Such a shame – Thai food is usually bursting with flavour, but this was a real letdown.

Great food, service and price! Definitely worth a visit here

Great meal, lovely atmosphere, super service from Kira!

Emily amazing and nice waitress

Amazing food, brilliant service, loved it.

Such a lovely experience! Beautiful and delicious food, Great vegetarian options and wonderful service from Emily, highly recommend!

Server, Emily, was so kind and helpful through the entire night. Wonderful experience. Food was great and the atmosphere was so lively

Good food, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Good vibe and not loud.

Emily was very helpful in serving and when i had doubts about allergies and food variety

Served by Emily and Rachel who were very delightful hosts

Really yummy food, holly was a great host :) - laksa is super filling and spicy but cocktails could have been a bit spicier. Overall good experience

Quiet pricey for what you get. None of the mains costing approx £12 to 20, come with any additional rice or vegetables. These need to be ordered separately... katsu curry ... With no rice as standard... go figure. Staff pleasant enough. Won't come again though.

Amazing food. Great service - thank you Kira. This is a must visit restaurant when you come to Manchester.

Lottie was our server and was amazing. Very friendly and welcoming!

Always first class food and service 5 stars 🌟

Emily was lovely and friendly, Food was delicious, had the red Thai curry would recommend

A great evening out with friends and our server Georgi was really friendly and helpful.

Maybe we were just unlucky, but visiting on a Friday teatime just before a gig, and the food was just not good. Tasteless, lukewarm, just nothing to write home about. The best thing about the meal was the prawn crackers which were fantastic, but the rest, nope. Have eaten here before and enjoyed it but maybe we were just here on an off day. Excellent service by Kira though.

Really tasty food. We ordered the red beef curry and pad Thai, great depth of flavour but what made it really nice was our server Alyssa, super polite and friendly. Thanks Alyssa for a top evening

Emily was a great server and food was delicious

Alyssa was great today, very polite and lovely. We really enjoy the food here as usual,Tampopo is always so consistent with the good food & service, highly recommend the katsu curry chicken with extra spice!

Excellent food - loved the black pepper chicken! Kira was an excellent server as well. Definitely recommend :)

Our server was Lottie who was super friendly and also knowledgeable of the menu. Lottie was able to answer our questions on items we was not so sure on and even provided us with small customisations we can make to certain items. Food arrived within minutes and Lottie popped by frequently to make sure food was OK and that we had enough drinks. Will be visiting again.

Georgi in Manchester Corner Exchange restaurant was really lovely. The food was delicious, we had laksa and pad thai followed by cheesecake. Highly recommended.

The food and service was great. Emily was very friendly and attentive.

Alyssa was very attentive and lovely! Excellent service couldn’t recommend more :)

Fantastic meal, fabulous server Emily.

I would say it’s definitely one of the best restaurants in Manchester, you won’t regret it

Seated quickly, food ordered and arrived in good time. Good for a Friday night. Chilled out

Tampopo is an amazing restaurant, in a great location in the Manchester City Centre. The food is fantastic with a vast variety of Thai & beyond for your Asian cuisine needs. Thank you so much Kira for your wonderful service today. I'll definitely be going back here again 😊

£8.10 for a bottle of beer which is sold at the coop for £2.95 is ridiculous but food was great really liked it

Unbelievable food especially for price :)

Delicious meal, quick service and our waitress Zottie was lovely

Thank you to Lottie and the other staff for a fab time

Food was great, service fantastic. Unfortunately they charge a fee to pay the bill using their QR code. I disapprove of paying for their convenience.

The food was amazing and our server Lottie was so helpful. The pork belly was delicious. Highly recommend.

Came here before a gig at the Ritz. Ordered a pork belly starter which was excellent. Followed by the sea bream which was one of their signatures on the menu. It was very good although it's served as a whole fish so it contains bones, which can be a bit frustrating to pick out. Next time I'll order the curry because of this (which I've had in the past and is also good). Lottie was our waitress who was really helpful and friendly so 5* for the service.

The food and the service was amazing! Kina and Emma thank you for being our server 🫶🏻

Nice meal! Quick service. Was very quiet there which was nice.

Food is fine just very oily. The place is quite dark
