    We came here for lunch on our visit to Manchester and the staff are really friendly and attentive especially Manager Jo she was fantastic, a true example of excellence in customer service. Jo was very knowledgeable about the dishes and brand , she even told us about East Street in London owned by the same brand and we are going to eat there soon. The food was very flavoursome and served at a good temperature, fresh ingredients with tantalising flavour. The Mocktails were delicious very refreshing. We had the vegan menu but I did also notice vegetarian and halal menus. We will definitely definitely visit again with friends. Thank you for a pleasent experience Jo and her team.

    As a person who lived in Thailand for more then three years I am totally happy with quality of food here. Padtay was really close to real Asian taste, spring rolls and kimchi were great. Enjoyed the food so much. Thank you!

    What a great experience we had at here yesterday. Our waiter was Tom and they were so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Nothing was a bother for them. We had our 4 year old and we were all very tired and Tom made our experience so much easier. The vegan food was excellent! I had the vegan katsu curry, my husband had the jackfruit Rendang and my child had the sweetcorn fritters with rice (recommended by Tom for my very fussy eater). We all loved every bite. We'll be popping back next time we're in Manchester

    I’ve eaten a lot of Far East food but this place was off the charts. Seriously go try this food, you will not be disappointed. I had chicken satay and nasi goring with chicken and prawns, and sampled some other dishes off the family. They have an awesome chef. Elise was brilliant. She was polite, attentive and very helpful. Pricing was on point for the meal.

    We visited the Trafford centre for my daughters birthday and gave her the option of where to eat. She chose tampopo. I’m not a fan of spicy food so was unsure on her choice…how wrong was I! The food was amazing and to top it off our waiter Jake could not do enough for us to make our visit as good as it could be. Even when we hadn’t decided on our main meals he allowed us to order our starters then came back for our main meal order. Jake is a credit to tampopo and considering his young age he delivers great service as if he has been doing it for years. We couldn’t have had a better experience than what we did and we will be sure to visit again and hopefully be served by Jake !

    Had a very nice experience at Tampopo this evening. The food was delicious, the drinks were of a good quality and they even had little quiz cards to keep us entertained whilst we waited for our food - it was a short wait and even kept us off our phones! A special thanks to Abi and Maisie - they were knowledgable about their products, and we had a nice chat with them; feeling genuinely cared for. Thank you so much!

    Twas a Saturday night in the month before fall, The shopping was done and the hunger didst call, With a rumble in our stomachs and bags in our hands, We searched for food, from eastern lands. We were greeted and seated, where we preferred, In less than five minutes we were seen, we were heard, My friend has an ailment, a reaction to fish, But the nice lady helped us, to choose the right dish, Careful to ensure that the food did not harm, Assisted by a waitress with an animal on her arm. The service was swift and the food was divine, The attentive, young server made it even more fine, We asked for the bill, and we went on our way, Thanking Alex, the waitress, for making our day.

    Had a great lunch here, the Pad Thai was excellent you need the fried egg on top to finish it properly. Make sure you have the Caramel Churros which are hot and crisp. Finish it all off with the Vietnamese Coffee. Very friendly staff and the place was busy so it isn't a secret. Nice place to eat. Recommended.

    I fancied some Asian food and this place was perfect. A wide variety of options and tasted really good. The portion sizes were so generous and the drinks menu was huge. Wish I wasnt driving so I could choose more cocktails. Most cocktails are available without alcohol. The squid was beautifully presented and you get loads for the price. Everything was amazing and we will definitely be back when we are in the area again

    Never been before. Had the Flaki roti wrap with bacon, egg, toms, mushrooms and fries. Unbelievable !!!!!! Tasty as hell. Bit of a kick but it passes and is nothing major as long as you don't freak out and chill. Had something similar in description in Mowgli but this blows it out of the park and will definitely call again. Very clean, quick service and all staff excellent. Highly recommend

    Everything was absolutely spot on. It was very busy but we were quickly seated at a table and had our drinks order taken straight away. We had time to look at the menu, our drinks arrived and then we ordered food right away. Within 10/15 minutes the food started to arrive and it was all fresh, hot and very tasty. The staff were attentive and friendly making sure we always had a drink and anything we needed, a true credit to the restaurant. Very efficient service, reasonably priced and tasty. What more could you ask for? Thanks guys! This is how’s it’s done. Highly recommended.

    Lovely food, real depth of flavours. Staff are friendly and really accommodating. Very knowledgeable on halal options for one member of the party.

    Great food, service and speed! Highly recommend for some authentic Pan Asian food and favourite dish was the Thai Red curry.

    My server, Laura, who also happened to be the manager, was absolutely fantastic. She went above and beyond to accommodate my dietary requirements and provided excellent service throughout my meal. Even when I wasn't satisfied with one of the drinks, Laura stepped in and recommended something better, which left me feeling extremely happy. What I appreciated most about Laura was that she checked in on us just the right amount - not too much, but enough to show she cared about our experience. Her friendly demeanour made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable, and I truly hope she had a wonderful shift. On top of Laura's exceptional service, the food was also outstanding - as it has been every time I've dined here. This was my third visit and I have consistently loved everything I've tried. The only downside was that the Korean wings had been removed from the menu, but I'm looking forward to trying some of the other dishes instead. Overall, it was a great experience made even better by Laura's exceptional service.

    Ample space and nice decorated. Interesting idea for bench eating with clean and colourful plates. The staff is very friendly and helpful in every aspect. Good selection of cocktails and starters. The various dishes have nice presentation with above average texture and taste, though on the smaller rather size. It is not cheap either but it's decent quality for the money paid.

    We have been multiple times now, it's the nicest food and ALWAYS comes with great service! The Belly Pork and Sticky Chicken Wings are incredible! Extremely yummy as always! We will be back!

  • 5/5 Matteo M. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here with friends for dinner and we throughly enjoy what we have ordered. 6 of us without a booking but still managed to get a table. They have great a great and varied menu as well as many good vegan options. Plus point for the fact that they really took care of one of my friend’s allergy. Service was nice. I would defo recommend.

  • 4/5 Dave L. 1 year ago on Google
    I am not quite sure if this is a Thai restaurant or Japanese. It pops up when I search Japanese restaurants maybe because there is Ramen in the menu which shouldn’t be in a Thai restaurant. Order some Thai food and some Japanese food, but honestly both are not traditional and kinda like Eastern style food cooked in Western way. Even so, the taste is not bad, considering the price is acceptable too. The portion is large enough for the mains, which is not easy to find in Trafford Center. If you want to have one starter and one Main, plus a drink, you would need to budget about £25 to £30 per head.

  • 1/5 Anh D. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely disappointed for the food quality and service. Been here for twice. The first time was disappointed with ramen dishes without anh sauce (it should be), asked for sauce and they gave soy sauce instead. The second time I ordered pork belly and it was overcooked and looked like a dirty coal. Can't understand how much bravery they could have to bring this food out of the kitchen to serve their customer. Maybe they didn't care at all for what they did there to the customer. Staffs attitude was like they couldn't care less. Definitely won't go back. Also, the portion and the quality is not worth it considering for the price. I had Pad Thai (and many other asian food) at a fancy and authentic Thai restaurant for only £10-13 Would give 0 star if I could.

    Went here today with my Mum and Dad for lunch. Great location in The Trafford Centre with friendly and professional staff and great food (I had the katsu chicken curry which was lovely) and lovely prawn crackers! Highly recommended!! :)

  • 4/5 Alex J. 2 years ago on Google
    This restaurant was nice! The place was clean and the food was nice. Staff were friendly. The Tofu stir fry was good as a meat free option but could have been a little more balanced flavour-wise.. the rice was a little bland then the fried food was overly ‘peppered’. Spice is one thing, lack of flavour another..

    Visited the restaurant this Saturday, the restaurant was busy but service was still really good and efficient. Food tasted great and our server, Anna, was really helpful.

  • 5/5 Sarai 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    First time at the restaurant, and honestly was an amazing experience. The food was perfect, in taste and portion size so thanks to the chefs! The highlight was our server Tom, great customer service and overall performance. Considering that Tom had a few tables they were serving they still made sure to provide amazing service is a talent. Amazing staff member.
