Tampopo in Manchester

Always enjoyable. We had the brunch deal today 50 % off before midday. Incredible value for money I almost felt guilty. Had pork dumplings and the bang bang steak with smashed avocado, Japanese waffle and poached egg. Everything you could want for in a brunch. Washed down with a Singha , followed by the cheesecake and a Vietnamese coffee. Almost perfect. My egg was ever so slightly overcooked but not enough to detract. My partner's was perfect! We must have got the wrong plates...Anyway we love Tampopo and will be back to try some of the other brunch dishes ASAP.

Issue with the beef but was then changed to chicken thanks to helpful waitress

Genuinely fantastic, thank you so much Marie!

Marie was absolutely lovely as a server, lovely and chatty & had an amazing time. 2nd time here and it doesn’t fail to disappoint!

Our server Eleanor was fantastic. 5 x ⭐. She even convinced us to come back the next day for brunch. The sweetcorn fritters and hoisin spring rolls are second to none.

The food was delicious. Cocktails were nice and good value during happy hour. We went early evening and it was quiet, we were seated straight away. Service was great. Not a cheap place but worth it.

I ordered online as I really wanted to try Tampopo and they had a buy1 get1 free offer on the Thai green curry, which is my favourite.. I ordered 2 jasmine rice (full price) and recieved only one, they also split one portion of Thai green curry into two containers. This isn't fair really as the meal was supposed to be for two people. So not only did they get the same price for the food that was on "offer" they got extra by not giving the rice I paid for. There's no point putting an offer on if you're going to do customers over like that. The food was quite nice and I can't fault the flavour of the curry, I would have made this a regular place to eat out but that won't be happening now. I'm not a big person but the meal did not fill me at all.

Phoebe and Marie were fantastic. Excellent service when it was busy with a smile! A true asset to the restaurant.

My team went to Tampopo and we were served by Phoebe and Marie. Great experience, lovely food and service. Would definitely go back.

Phoebe and Marie were great, quick service, good sea bream and nice white wine. Thanks

Was lovely thank you, great food and service ☺️

Great Food; close to what you get in Malaysia or Singapore. Loved the service by Marie and Mike too. Worth the hype.

This is a real Manchester institution. Been coming for years and keep coming back. Really tasty, fresh food and great friendly service. Eleanor really looked after us tonight and laughed at all our bad jokes :)

Excellent service & delicious food.

Food was so lovely, and Marie, the lady who was serving us was so nice and she really made our night!

Karo was exceptional with service. Always a treat coming to visit the tampopo in Manchester!

Absolutely great team!! Been to other Tampopos and this team is absolutely stellar

Attended for lunch. Downstairs, restaurant is set out like a school refectory and not really to my taste. Dislike sitting on backless stools which are secured to the floor and really uncomfortable. Food arrived quickly, was ok but a little greasy. The real star of the show was the waitress, Hollie. She was friendly, pleasant, and attentive from the moment I went in and, as I sat and watched she was equally attentive to all the customers, constantly on the go, asking if everything was ok and asking if she could she get them anything else. She was the highlight of the visit and many other establishments would do well to have someone like her as front of house.

Lovely hidden gem in central Manchester. Very reasonably priced and the food was delicious. Our servers, Marie and Mike, were very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend the Shanghai flower cocktail, hispi cabbage and chocolate fondant!

Tampopo is a fun spot to hangout at, great food, lovely ambience, and Elise was an amazing host!

Went in tonight for my Dad's birthday. Been coming here since it opened. Always reliable, brilliant food. Mike was fantastic and service impeccable. Really looked after us. Great cocktails just in time for happy hour. The fillet steak main is honestly one of the best plates I've had in ages...credit to the chefs. Dad had the same and loved it. 10 out of 10. Thanks Mike 👍🏽

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at Tampopo! There's a wide variety of interesting Asian selections and everything we chose was delicious. And Some of us very much enjoyed the cocktails as well. However,I would particularly like to comment on the service, which was exemplary. We were quite a large and demanding group including a baby and toddler and I cannot fault the patient, friendly waiters - in particular Sek, who was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you have children in tow, you won't be disappointed. Thank you so much, Sek!

Absolutely fantastic The food is tasty and plentiful. The broad bean starter/ sharer is a must. A fun way to start a meal. Service was quick unfussy and attentive We loved the food here. Go back in a heartbeat. Don’t miss it, you’ll regret it

Exceptional food, friendly and knowledgeable staff who were really attentive. Special praise for Karolina whom we had an informative chat with about the long history of Tampopo - enjoy your fact finding trip to Bangkok!

We had a lovely meal. There was a nice atmosphere in the restaurant . Our server phoebe was really friendly and helpful :)

Brilliant food and pleasant and attentive waitress. A fried egg on Basis Goreng Royale which I preferred. Nice relaxed atmosphere

Wouldn’t want to go here later than 5:30 on a Friday as the seating is communal, but we had a comfortable 8 seater bench to ourselves. The service was good. Phoebe looked after us well. The portions were about right and the food was all delicious. Will definitely return when next in the area.

Phoebe couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming

My partner and I always come here for food and are never disappointed. It's delicious and hearty at a decent price. Couple weeks ago we came with some friends and ordered food. This time we got dessert which we normally don't. Unfortunately it came out not great but our very lovely server, Felicity, got it sorted asap. 10/10 would recommend. My fave is the katsu curry with sweet potato as well as the Malaysian curry noodles.

Outstanding food and excellent service by Hollie highly recommend. X

This place is great and the 50% off menu omg the best brunch I’ve ever tasted

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 very friendly, patient and helpful to our table.

Felicity was amazing and very patient with my indecisive friend

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

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!

Delicious food and fabulous service tonight. Our waitress Marie was so lovely, nothing was too much trouble, would definitely recommend 5⭐️

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

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.

Amazing food, Eleanor was amazing, so knowledgeable!

Served by Marie who was very lovely and attentive!

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

Great service from Hollie and great food

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

Nasi goreng sooooo good. Service always perfect.

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.

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

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

Nice Restaurant, very good food. Thanks!

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

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.

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.

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.

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 😝

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!

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

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

Went for brunch. Great service, tasty food

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

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

Eleanor was amazing thank you very much:)

Lovely food, tasty drinks and great service.

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

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!

Delicious food, lovely staff would highly recommend

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

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 :)

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

The employees are very friendly and very well attended to.

Good vibe, decent prices. Served by Marie :)

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)
