Tampopo in Manchester

Lovely until we saw a mouse run across the floor as we were getting ready to leave, we asked for a full refund this was the 1st time visited

Substandard, used to be very good, been going to tampopo for about 7 years. Used to be fairly authentic however now the menu has changed, throwing things like tofu into random dishes where it doesn’t need to be. When asked about that the sever just gave a shrug and said yeah it comes with it. After picking it out, the food was really substandard. I would take a serious rethink into the menu, bring back some genuine authentic flavours and way of doing Thai food.

We tried the taster menu a few weeks ago before watching the new John Wick film at the Odeon, and enjoyed the meal so much we decided to call again only this time to order the usual starter/main/dessert. We ordered sticky wings, spring rolls and a mixed salad for starters, and for main course we both ordered the main course included in the taster menu previously which was a curry with duck. We both picked chocolate chip ice cream for dessert. Price including drinks was £90 which for the quality of food was reasonable and we’ll be coming here regularly now before catching a movie as it makes for an enjoyable evening once a month or so. The service was especially excellent from Kez, with used plates removed promptly, the courses arriving in good time and enquiries if we needed more drinks never too intrusive. So Thankyou to Kez and the cooks for a great experience.

My go to restaurant every time I’m at the Trafford Centre. Amazing food and great service every single time.

good service, good food. mike and shia were very polite will definitely return again with my family .

Thank you for the amazing night ! We come to Manchester very often and for sure we will come back and give the tip to our colleagues ! Nice menu for fair price ! Ben gave us the best customer service ! Wish I could be served like this in every restaurant !

Great meal. Jen was a great server, kept us informed and kept part of our evening. Was good Asian cuisine experience. Thank you

We are regulars and had our best visit ever last night thanks to Tom. He was attentive, enthusiastic and incredibly friendly and absolutely made our visit. Nothing was too much trouble and despite it being quite late in the day, Tom didn’t stop smiling and being an absolute gem. We will definitely be returning and requesting that we sit in your section Tom! You’re amazing

Having recently discovered this restaurant, Sunday was our 4th visit in 3 weeks - the food is that good! The Thai curry and Singaporean curry are our goto favourites. Absolutely delicious, tasty, fragrant food in a decent size portion. The service from the staff was excellent, very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is always good and its great to see the variety of amazing looking food being served to other tables - makes us want to return to try other dishes.

I visited with my 3 children all with additional needs.when booking the table I asked for a quiet table more so for my youngest. We were sat at the back which was perfect for us. The staff were great, Excellent service, accommodating,attentive. The food was delicious as always. Fresh, well presented & pipping hot. The Thai green curry veggie was bang on full of flavour. The restaurant was clean, well decorated welcoming. Highly recommend.

As someone who is a very picky eater the food was amazing and so was the staff. The food was very tasty, good portion sizes and came out in a good time. Will definitely be returning.

Totally blown away by this experience. The staff were superb and the food matched their service. Cooked fresh and so wonderfully tasteful. Good value for money. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was amazing and came out super quick even though it was busy. The staff are always so lovely too!

Good service from two staff members. Attentive and polite. Sometimes felt we were a little over-served with being asked how everything was, but better that way I suppose. Sometimes if you are in deep conversation you don’t need to be interrupted on how the food was with an empty plate in front of you. Food was tasty and delivered as the menu described. Would definitely go back here in The Trafford Centre

we should you Tampopo back in Leeds :) amazing as always! food, people! everything! good value for money too! thank you

The service here was absolutely brilliant. Hats off to the young waiter that served us, it’s not often you’re served by someone that’s an absolute pleasure to be around. Onto the food - all food was very delicious. Great servicing sizes and very authentic. Overall...

If you like a mix of Asian food styles then Tampopo is the perfect place for you. It had been a few months since our last visit so it was good to see a few changes to the menu. Along with the classic pork gyoza...

An excellent meal ,would definitely recommend and will return . The manager Jo and server Tom were both very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu ..We are frequent visitors to East Asia and thought the food was of a very good standard

Really great service. Tom was especially helpful and made some solid recommendations. Food great also.

This was my seconmd visit recently and it was even better than the first. First class food backed up by a 5 star sdervice. and very affordable!

We visited Tampopo Trafford Centre and were disappointed by the service, the quality of food and the lack of understanding. Myself and anther member of the group are unable to have big meal (due to weight loss op). We asked if we could have a...

Great atmosphere, colourful decor and delightful food. The staff we’re all very attentive. The food was fresh, well presented and tasted delicious.

We visited with a pre-booked table for a friends 40th. Food and service were excellent, being a vegetarian there was plenty of choice for me as well and plenty of choice for the 2 meat eaters. The waiter was really knowledgeable, helpful and friendly- the...

Amazing food and cocktails! The staff were attentive and friendly, consistently checking up on us to ask if we needed anything. Great service!

I took my sister here the other day because she’s vegan and wanted to try something new - the staff were so friendly especially our male waiter who I cannot remember the name of but he was very nice! I recommend the spring rolls -...

Usually the food is so good here, but we were disappointed last night, I had the pepper stir fry beef and the beef was so chewy and over cooked, the sauce was majorly spicy and there was hardly any veg. This is my favourite dish...

Tampopo has always served great food. I think they have upped their game since the pandemic. Every dish was great. Went with 7 and 11 yo and they absolutely loved the food. They have also become very on it with the service. Our waitress was...

My son and I ate here and thoroughly enjoyed it. Every item we ordered was delicious, not a crumb left on ours plates. Will definitely be returning.

The food is always great here and on our fourth visit we really felt the dedication of the staff. The restaurant was full and we were on a very tight schedule (booked in to see a film). The Geordie waitress who looked after us was...

Came here for a work night out on my recommendation and as always did not disappoint. Lovely atmosphere and beautiful food.

I was excited from all the reviews and hype about this place. Only to be very disappointed and dissatisfied. Firstly the service was extremely slow. There was a lot of empty mom reserved tables and we had to queue for about 20 mins until a...

It was our first visit and we will definitely be back We were warned that there would be a 20 minute delay for food due to it being busy but our food arrived long before this It was a lovely hot, fresh and tasty meal...

Staff are always very attentive, great service and fabulous food we came back to you from Leicester after a lovely experience last year, definitely been back again. Thank you

Tampopo has become our go to restaurant in the Trafford Centre. The staff are really attentive and helpful. Even when busy there is sufficient staff on to ensure quality service. Food always arrives fresh and hot. After sampling most of the menu now between us,...

All went extremely well. We booked Tampopo Trafford Centre, where hardly any restaurants allow bookings in advance. First tick. We wanted to book for when our film finished, and so were uncertain of the timing of the booking. The staff were very accommodating esp as...

This was an amazing experience, the food was excellent but what made it so special was the attention and care given to us by our waitress who went out of her way to give us the best experience possible. We were a family with four...

Food was devine. I had the satay chicken and pad thai noodles. Highly recommend! Staff were friendly and despite being very busy (Thursday evening), we never felt forgotten about. Was my first visit but won't be the last!

We had my mum’s 60th birthday lunch here with family and close friends, and we had an amazing time. The food was super delicious, good-sized portions and really brings you back to Asia. Customer service was excellent too. Everyone was super friendly and approachable. Thanks...

The visit to Tampopo was both mine and my partner's first time, and we were very impressed. We immediately felt welcomed from the man who showed us to the table and the good service carried on with the rest of the staff that dealt with...

Had a fantastic meal/ lunch on sun 15th August to celebrate my Son's birthday. Very well presented not a very long wait. Highly recommended will definitely be coming back again! 😁

Fantastic meal for all of us. Our Waitress, Frieya, was spectacularly attentive and looked after us well. We had the: Pad Krapow Kha Beef Rendang Tonkotsu Ramen And i would have all of them again

Beautiful food including wide selection of Vegan food. Plentiful portions,stunningly presented , fresh and very tasty.

Beautiful atmosphere Lovely staff AMAZING food Not a long weight for food Did not disappoint 100% will be returning

Visited for first time in 2 years ,food was superb,great staff,great ambiance , all round 1st class.

the food is amazing and its for a reasonable price! all the workers are very friendly and welcoming! if youre looking for some good far east food this is the place to go! all in all its an amazing place and i definitely recommend it!

Upon arrival we were seated quickly and the staff was super attentive, if you’re worried about whether the food is halal - they do have a separate menu which indicates what is halal and if it’s been cooked in an oven handling pork so you...

My first time here, but it will not be my last. The customer care was 100%. Our server was working his notice before going into the nursing industry. It was so easy to see why he was going into that industry, his manner will be...

Top food, great atmosphere with helpful and friendly staff. If you're after food from the far east there are few places better than this. The sticky wings and the Thai red curry are off the scale good.

Couldn't wait to get back to this place. My daughter and I love it. Food is really tasty. Service is generally good. Would highly recommend it!

Tampopo was and still remains my favourite restaurant. We arrived early to the booking and asked if they could fit us in earlier and the staff were super accommodating. They asked us to check in via the tracking apps before we entered and we already...

Popped into here for lunch on Tuesday and had a lovely lunch of chicken NasiGoreng. Service was very fast and very attentive and the staff were so lovely! Having been the first time I’ve eaten out by myself I had a lovely experience and will...

Super friendly staff alongside delicious food. Visited for my birthday meal and it was 10 out of 10. Highly recommended and I will definitely be going again.

The staff were amazing, the service was quick and friendly but the food wasn’t very nice. Me and my mate ate about no more than half of the meals each was very disappointed.

Great food, asked for my 25% too, so cheap meal out for 4. Staff sensibly and cautiously dealing with cv19 and eating out. Respect them for their continued efforts and politeness in a difficult time. Emily Kirk was our server - attentive to our needs....

visited last night for a birthday celebration partner and children , staff were warm and welcoming , disposable menus , ppe worn and social distance measures between tables. Lovely food quick and efficient will definitely visit again

As always, the food at Tampopo was delicious. It was very off putting though that NONE of the staff at the restaurant were wearing face coverings. It was disgusting to say the least especially because as they served, they spoke over my food! That means...

We went out for a " eat out to help out" meal and had booked a table. Greeted at the door and asked to sanitize hands, this immediately put me at ease that they were following the covid19 safety rules. Shown to our table which...

Visited Tampopo Piccadilly Gardens for a quick Eat Out Help Out Lunch. Restaurant was quite busy that time and as an observer I have to admit that this team did their best ! Had veg tempura and Pad Kaparov Tofu. Food was amazingly good! Thank...

We always enjoy a good Tompopo, but has been some time since the last visit as we felt the care, the portions, the taste had deteriorated somewhat and really left us underwhelmed. Not this time, when I say Tompopop was busy... it was queuing in...

We visited the Piccadilly restaurant as part of the Eat Out to help Out scheme. It was our first visit to Tampopo’s The food was lovely and packed full of flavour! If you like spice I highly reccomend the beef in black pepper. It was...

Visited for a date night, which was our first meal out since the start of lockdown. The food was absolutely delicious and great value, and despite being very busy the staff were great.

The food was absolutely delicious I highly recommend the set menu. The dumplings were lovely. Very good service & the servers were very attentive to our allergy needs.

Below standard Thai. Disappointment considering it was our first time eating out after lock down. My girlfriend had a starter of mushroom dumplings, I had corn fritters. Mushroom dumplings were nice, corn fritters were fatty and tasteless. For mains my gf ordered pad Thai. Absolutely...

Our first visit since before lockdown and we were very impressed with the entire service! We were met promptly and politely as we arrived, all staff greeted us throughout the restaurant, and we were seated well over 2m away from anyone else. The new system...

First meal out since lockdown with my daughter. We had the 25% so decided to book as we do like Tompopo. Booked table 2.30pm. Crackers and water came almost immediately, drinks took a while. Order food waited over half an hr but that was OK....

Food was fab as always and the staff were great. A table space was left between families and there was a clear system to be used when moving around the restaurant. However, no staff wore a mask which made us feel uncomfortable as they moved...

I came here with my friend, the staff were lovely and very polite and the food was delicious and very good price. Would love to come again!

Very disappointing! Had never been to this chain before - and I definitely won’t return now I’ve tried it. The food was very poor - grisly chicken that was very over spiced and churros that came crunchy on the outside and raw in the middle...

Where do I start!!! The food was faultless. This was our first meal out together since lockdown and the staff made us feel safe. Clean cutlery after our starter and cleaned the table before and after our meal. We both had the asian sharing platter...

We were a party of 6, first meal out after lockdown The food was fresh and very tasty indeed, the service was warm and friendly, the toilets were clean with good hygiene facilities provided. We felt we were in safe environment and will definitely be...

Returned for a meal after lockdown restrictiond lifted. Never had a bad meal or service here. On the day we were informed of any issues straight away. The only thing to state was that the restaurant was running out of options on the menu, which...

Drinks, starters and main meal was excellent. Loved everything about it. I had katsu curry which was very tasty and I’d have it again. 100% would definitely return. Excellent service during the ‘the new normal’

So disappointed with our lunch here. £16 for a sharing platter which wasn’t even big enough for one person. One tiny item of food each. There was one spring roll cut in 2! We had to go and have lunch elsewhere after. The restaurant itself...

Lovely family meal. Great authentic Asian food and very fresh. Nice atmosphere and convenient location.

Visited here for a quick lunch while in Manchester shopping. The food was great, very tasty and good portions. We ordered off the lunch menu which was great value too. We would recommend the gyoza, spring rolls, pork vermicelli and Nasi-goreng chicken. All very tasty....

That was an amazing experience, stunning service by Kornel and probably the best Katsu I’ve ever tried. Highly recommend!

Popped in for a quick bite and to be honest I was a little disappointed. We had a mixed veggie starter which was really good, but then we had Tofu Pad Thai which was not very good, also the service was not very quick and...

As we were visiting the city my friends and I we enjoy the visit at Tampopo Picadilly Gardens last Thursday Lunch time. From the moment we walked in, the waitress very welcoming and friendly gave us menu explanation nice table by the window. The FOOD...

Came in today to the Piccadilly gardens Tampopo (which I cannot find on here) with my partner and while the food was amazing and the server lovely a homeless woman came in and used the toilets and sat down with some customers she didnt know...

The food was very average. The Pad Thai (vegetable) was uninteresting , small in size, no vegetables, just a few noodles and lumps of tofu, very little taste. No hygiene score was to be seen so I asked a waitress - she had no idea!...

Price changed food not worth the money waiting over 25 min for food to arrive. Would not recommend to anybody

We came to this restaurant to have quick dinner. When we came in, friendly waitress ask us to wait a minute to prepare a table, so we waited and watch her wiping our table. When we were seated, we had first suprise - the table...

great for a quick cheap tasty bite to eat in the city center, served by the polite and funny Evan. had the pad thai which was lovely! deffo recommend and will be back

Visited the Tampopo restaurant in Piccadilly Gardens while on business in Manchester on my own on a Wednesday evening and was well greeted by the waiting staff and shown to my table. I had Prawn crackers with Spring Rolls followed by the Chicken Pad Krapow....

The service here is very quick and the food is excellent. The menu is a reduced version of the normal Tampopo menu but still with enough variety. The restaurant was a bit chilly but thats the only negative.

I am intolerant to many different things and I am so grateful to the staff here, Cristina and Evan, for helping me to find some foods I could eat off the menu. I found that they were both exceptionally enthusiastic and incredibly professional, as well...

Went to Tampopo today for a 1st visit and what a delight it was. :) Thai food, lots of veggie and vegan choices. Clean place and nicely lit, loved the hanging lantern lights.Staff made sure we were happy at all times, very polite and chatty....

In August 3 friends of mine and I went to tempopo for an evening meal. We all had the worst experience ever. As soon as we went in the restaurant smells. But since my friend had booked being polite we stayed. After such a long...

The front of house staff (tills and servers) were polite and friendly. I quite enjoyed my food. However my experience was tainted by the rude manager. He was shouting at a member of staff and brought him into the back. Where a loud argument took...

Stopped by for a quick lunch the other day, the chicken had a very weird taste, on the other hand, the shrimps were nice! Wouldn't recommend it, even as a cheap quick bite there are better alternatives in the area!

Guys you need to do something about this before you rude your tampopo reputation. The food was disgusting, dipped my fork in the sweet and sour sauce it was even worse than a ready meal it was horrible,tasted like vinager and cheap. The satay chicken...

On 26 June during the evening, I ate at Tampopo located at Piccadilly Gardens. I ordered a meat dish only to find a metal staple in it. I was very lucky that I didn't put the stable in my mouth. I complained to the guy...

Excellent food on the go and has a very good music environment. Nice to chill here during lunch and staff are very kind and genuine :)
