Tampopo in Manchester

First time at this particular location, it’s lovely, service is good and food was delish! Chicken is all certified halal which is great. I ordered the satay chicken and it was yum!

Felicity was amazing and very patient with my indecisive friend

Great service as usual. Thanks Marie, you’re a gem 🙏🏾

Felicity was very friendly, patient and helpful to our table.

Great restaurant! Many options to choose from. Great service from Mike.

We attended today to celebrate a project milestone at work and to congratulate our colleague on their new role. Food arrived within good time. The steak was excellent. Hollie, our server, went above and beyond to ensure we having a great time. We will come again!

Lovely restaurant with very attentive staff (Marie and Mike) and a lovely atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed!

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Tampopo. The food was great and we couldn’t fault it. We were served by Eleanor who was great, she provided great advice regarding the menu and was attentitive throughout the meal. We would definitely recommend and will definitely be back when next in Manchester.

A lovely little restaurant with great food in the heart of Manchester. Mike who served us today was very attentive and made the whole dining experience excellent!

Celebrated a 21st birthday at Tampopo and the staff helped make it a very special celebration. Hollie, Mike and Marie were very kind and provided great table service. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic time. Amazing food. Could not recommend more. This was my first time and will not be the last for sure. Massive thanks to Hollie, Mike and Marie for being the best x

Top meal and top service from Eleanor.

Been coming here since 1997 and still as fabulous as ever. Amazing food great service and still managing to survive in the hardest times hospitality has seen .. well done Tampopo and thank you

Great atmosphere. Our server Phoebe was so helpful.

Phoebe was amazing. She recommended the red curry noodles and I loved it. I shall be back for red curry noodles.

The food here is amazing but more than that was Phoebe! Nothing was too much trouble, honestly can’t wait to go back

Nasi goreng sooooo good. Service always perfect.

Unreal chicken katsu. I went for egg fried rice alongside it

Great service from Hollie and great food

Amazing food and amazing service!!! Karo, Marie and Mike were perfect

Amazing food and great service from Hollie & Kaz! Servers are very friendly and plenty of vegan & veggie options. Love the atmosphere, will definitely be back

All our dishes were amazing & we found it hard to choose from the menu. I had the lychee cocktail which was 10/10 delicious. Would also recommend the Korean popcorn chicken

Good portions, really tasty, lots of choice. Now I just need to get home to have my food baby and pass out in a coma.

Always amazing, great service and the food is always so so good. Thank youu

Felicity was super lovely!! Gorgeous hair and fab service! Food was stunning loved the Bali pork belly and the sour cherry apple drink was really good as well.

Good tasty food, excellent service.

Very rapid service and tasty food. Great vegan/veggie options. Felicity was a great waitress!

Amazing! Great food, great location but the best part was the great service!

Great selection of Asian food and good drinks. Food is very tasty but portions could be a bit larger. Our waiter Mollie delivered a good service. Definitely a recommendation.

Pre booked as we were in Manchester for a gig a little later. Very welcoming from the start with the staff member explaining the menu as this was our first visit. Really nice food, well presented and delicious. Our server Marie was spot on too! We'll definitely be back!

Thank you for a great service Marie, very friendly and helpful

Great visit, lovely authentic food, attentive service from Marie, and excellent value.

Nice Restaurant, very good food. Thanks!

We were wandering through Manchester looking for a place to eat and Tampopo caught our eye. The menu looked interesting and well priced, with veggie options for my friend. Had a warm welcome and our server, Marie was delightful. I had the chicken katsu and my friend had the vegan version, with grilled pak choi and kimchi for side . We were both impressed by the how full of flavour everything was and the generous portions nearly defeated us. Overall, we were really happy to have found it and will go back again when have the chance.

Fantastic food! Every dish was delicious! The staff were lovely and the cocktails happy hour was a lovely bonus.

It was my first time in Manchester and my partner and I stumbled across Tampopo before going to a concert. Not only was the food delicious but the service was very quick and friendly! Even the fire alarm going off halfway through the meal couldn't damage the experience - the staff were speedy evacuating us customers and did well to keep everyone calm. Luckily there was no fire! I ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry with Egg Fried Rice and my partner ordered the Red Curry Noodles. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and were so delicious! I also had the Sour Cherry Appleade, which is my new obsession - liquid gold! (I wish I had the recipe 😂) We'd also like to give a massive thanks to all of the staff, especially our waitress Elise. She welcomed us with friendliness and was very quick to bring our food and drinks. I highly recommend eating at Tampopo, especially if you never have before!

Cant recommend enough! Hollie was our waitress was so lovely and accommodating and the food was delicious. Will definitely come again.

Lovely evening , great staff & delicious food.

Felicity was great, she made us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we needed. Food was good, the pad Thai wasn’t quite as good as I’ve had in Thailand, but we’re in Manchester after all!

Thank you Marie (Chantal). It was really very good.

Elise our server was brilliant. Visited on 12th Feb. We hadn't been before, explained the menu really well, very helpful and friendly. Food was amazing. Thank you

At least 3 additional fees when trying to pay as well as the cheek to ask for a tip on top do not come

Amazing amazing food and service

This is my favourite place to eat in Manchester if not the uk. The food is unreal, I always go for a bunch of small plates and they are all amazing. The last time we came Marie was great. She checked in made sure we was okay and joked with us when we ordered. 10/10 service.

Great food and very friendly service from Marie 😊 also kicking ass Thai Iced Tea 😝

Great service from Eleanor lovely place with lovely food ! :)

The food was absolutely amazing, and the amazing service from Felicity was top notch too! Mikes special birthday cocktail creation was wonderful!! Can't recommend it more!

Marie was out server for the night and she was absolutely amazing. Overall great food and great vibe

Nice food and ambience and Mollie was attentive and professional in her front of house role.

Went for brunch. Great service, tasty food

Excellent food and really top draw service by Marie!! Recommend

Amazing food! Great service. Had 4 small plates between two and it was the perfect amount. Can’t recommend enough

Eleanor was amazing thank you very much:)

Lovely food, tasty drinks and great service.

Fantastic service from the wonderful staff at Tampopo Manchester. Eleanor and the rest of the team were first class in looking after our big group of around 30! Food great too!

Great service, wonderful food - Eleanor was an excellent host and we were a big party! Wonderful dining experience

Delicious food, lovely staff would highly recommend

I went this afternoon with my son about 2.20. I have always enjoyed the food but was disappointed today. I had a cold boiled egg on my Nasi Gorang Royale. It usually had a fried egg and this spoilt it for me. I enquired about this with the waitress. She said this was correct. I have been quite often over the years and had a good experience. I asked for the bill but could not look at it properly as the waitress wanted to be paid immediately and we didn't have a chance to see the bill which my son paid and I think it was a little over £40 as my son gave her £43. I have never been disappointed before either with the food or the service

Second time here and I loved it once again, the beef rendang is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. And our server Maria was lovely and attentive :)

Good vibe, decent prices. Served by Marie :)

The employees are very friendly and very well attended to.

Went here with my cute boyfriend the other week, got gyoza to share, man got his curry and i- noodles with chicken. Very tasty, would definitely come back if in Manchester again. Server lady was very friendly. Great music choice as well (classics and Chappel, hello, a good bop)

Food came out quickly and staff were really friendly and efficient

The food was excellent. The taste is authentic for us being Asians. There is a wide variety of asian and western dishes to suit everyone. Ms. Carolina, our server (I think also the manager) was attentive, friendly. We enjoyed our dining experience. Highly recommended.

Comfortably furnished. Warm welcome. Many thanks to Karolina, she was very friendly and patient with us. The dishes tasted excellent and were very nicely prepared. Be sure to try the Vietnamese coffee. Just great!

Lovely food. A bit bossy when it came to what you could and couldn't order from the menus over Christmas. Felt like being in trouble at school before we had a chance to sit down.

Food was tasty. Customer service was excellent. Atmosphere was pleasant. I’ve come here more times than I can remember

Really fun evening great food, the two waitresses that served us were really helpful and made the evening

I went to Tampopo second time in 2 weeks, first time was in London and this time Manchester. The food is really good and we were served by lovely girl Eleonor. I recommend this restaurant and I'm sure I will come back.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Tampopo Restaurant! The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The service was exceptional, thanks to Eleonor, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Her attention to detail, friendliness, and professionalism truly enhanced our dining experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and excellent service. Will definitely be coming back!

Lovely food and would come again

After debating endlessly over where to eat we decided that Tampopo was a sound and reliable choice at a decent price. It delivered! At £10 for a workers lunch you really can't do much better than this. We eat out a lot including high end places and the quality of food here is really good. Not a special occasion restaurant but great food at a decent price.

Love this place! When we come again to manchester, we come definitely back here again!

Four of us dined on a Sunday afternoon and the restaurant was empty. We were the only customers. Place looked like it was about to close. There were plastic buckets on the counter in front of us, in-between the spray cleaning products and pre prepared bowls of prawn crackers... We asked for the Christmas Menu and were told that the WHOLE table have to order from it if we wish to get this offer. Why? Should we have aaked for a table of 3 and a table of 1 then? Seriously, no need, especially when the place was empty... The spring rolls were absolutely dripping with oil, I did not finish my portion due to this. The katsu curry was good however, the chicken portion was on a very thin side... The oil was repeating on me for the rest of the day. Sadly we won't be returning to Tampopo any time soon. It feels like it's lost its mojo... It feels very tired and definitely overpriced. Such a shame - you used to be so good Tapopo 😢

Tried the Nasi Goreng, need to add some Sambal a side 😬🤓.

We had pad thai and green curry. Two of their most recommended dishes. It wasn’t bad but we have had better authentic ones. I would say it was average in terms of taste, the quantity was alright. Might never go back again. The ambiance was good though.

We tried the Nasi Goreng and Beef Rendang. The presentation wasn't quite what we expected from these classic dishes, YET the flavours really took us back to our holidays in Malaysia and Indonesia. The Beef Rendang was delicious, but it wasn't spicy as we anticipated. I’d recommend asking for extra spice if you prefer it hot, as we assumed it would be naturally spicy. One small disappointment was that the egg wasn't sunny side up, but I must say, the boiled/fried eggs were perfectly cooked with a runny yolk. Kudos to the chefs. I appreciate the creative twist, but I personally think these signature dishes shine best when prepared traditionally. We did enjoy the meal with a bottle of Singha🍻 Another holiday memory(Thailand) was brought back with this beer.

Food was great - we had the jackfruit rendang it was delicious ! Both Elise and Hollie were fantastic waiting staff and made us feel really welcome.

Great service, very tasty food and cocktails!

Elise was really friendly, very good service

Really great food, the Pad Thai was lovely, and Felicity was excellent and very attentive :)

Felicity was our waitress tonight and went out of her way for us and was so lovely!!Celebrated a birthday and had a wonderful time. Food was excellent as expected and will be returning soon! Thank you :)

Our company came to Tampopo last minute because somewhere else had double booked our restaurant time. El and chef Bolo were amazing and very quick to respond to our sudden large group booking. Thank you so much!!

absolutely beautiful food from Chef Cameron and fab service from Marie. Thank you

Great service from Hollie& food from Chef Jonny

Good food and friendly service, significantly better than Wagamama. Let down by having to pay a processing fee to split the bill.

We had the best time at Tampopo on Saturday. The food was so authentically tasty! The starters were amazing! We had spring rolls and butterfly prawns and satay chicken. I had the Thai green curry which was exceptional.Thank you Chef Aaron. Our waitress Eleanor was lovely and was so patient taking the kids orders as they changed their minds 10 times! They also helped us surprise my cousin with a birthday cake we had brought abd made her day very special. Thanks to the entire team. We will definitely be back!

Great food! Marie and Jon were super nice!

Marie and Chef Rajeesh slayed the house down (good food, lovely service)

Thank you so much to Felicity & Chef Will for a fab evening meal out.

Fantastic service and food. Eleanor our server was on the ball making sure my Sesame allergy wasn't going to be a problem, and the food was top notch from Aaron the chef.

One of the best east asian restaurant in Manchester. Very affordable too!

Amazing service and great food! Thanks so much for the service Felicity!
