  “Moved to Didsbury a couple of months ago and have visited Mama Z’s too many times to count since. Everyone’s super friendly and the food is so GOOD! There’s a great vegan selection (special shout out to halo halo and tofu adobo) and the portions are huge. The atmosphere is relaxed and feels super homely.”

  “My sister and I visited on Sunday and had lunch. We both really enjoyed the food and drinks, there were loads of options for me(vegan), they also have lots of GF options and everything is halal. They even do a vegan pork belly, which I've never seen anywhere else! The portions were very generous(enough for lunch the next day - yay!!) They make their own cakes too! I got 2 slices of the ube cream cake which were enjoyed by my dad and partner. Service was great also and love the decor and atmosphere 💜 Hopefully will be back again soon. Thank you Zos & the team at Mama Z 🩷”

  “Overpriced food and a waitress that tried to upsell everything. Aubergine dish with garlic rice costs £19.50 inc. of £2 for a fried egg & £1.50 for garlic rice. Small Bao was £7 each.”

  “19.07.26: Staff were polite and I have wanted to try this place for a long time. I am nervous to share too much detail because the owner seems to get very offended from any feedback, but I felt for the price my Kimchi bowl just wasn’t it. The buttery rice was not buttery and not a generous portion, kimchi was perfect but possibly too much and overpowering the dish. I added tofu, which tasted the same as the pre marinated sainsburys pack and added a lot of moisture to the dish. £16.50 we both found it bland. That being said, my husband mostly enjoyed the Kare-don noodles, and they had a lot of specials which looked great and were also sold out which is a great sign! I would go back, and would try something else I think. Response to the owner 28.07.26: when I said you get offended with feedback this was based on your replies to other reviews. You come off very defensive. I believe the only response is that feedback should be taken on board from customers as “we are always right” - I said the food was bland because it was bland Food should not be served and left to the customer to “season to their liking” - I can do this at home. Same with the alterations. Thanks!”

  “Amazing amazing food! Lovely staff and the only place in England where I've had a good milo! They also do amazing Ube cheesecakes, lattes and have a little cupboard filled with Filipino staples to shop.”

  “Absolutely amazing restaurant. The staff were really welcoming, and the food was incredible. We had some delicious hot drinks too! Can’t recommend this place enough. We did have a dessert but unfortunately it was eaten too quickly to take a photo. Hope to visit again soon 😋”

  “Amazing, hearty and nutritious food. The lady serving was really nice and was able to accommodate my requests, even giving me an off menu dish. Definitely would return here!”

  “What an amazing gem in Manchester! Bit of a trek from the city centre but it’s definitely worth the drive/commute if you’re craving bold yet really comforting flavours. Everything we ordered was delicious and perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend the vegan pork belly sisig - one of their specialties - even if you are a meat lover! Service was also fab and big community feel.”

  “I visited Yes Lah for lunch after a recommendation from a friend. It was quiet and there was plenty of space available (I hadn't booked). Staff were very pleasant and happy to explain the dishes and offer suggestions. I had a noodle dish which was fine but if I am completely honest I was expecting a little more from the flavour and felt there was a bit too much of the rich sauce. I'd also expected a few more options as side dishes - these were limited. I didn't try the cake / dessert selection but these looked good.”

  “(visited quite a while ago) i’ve wanted to come here for a while already, because the menu is more SEA oriented than other places. it’s such a cute dainty spot! love how the place is decorated. i ordered myself a Chicken Sisig and it was so delicious. delightfully creamy and tangy, it was the perfect accompaniment for a bowl of hot and fluffy jasmine rice. chicken portion was big too!! very satisfying protein to carb ratio. very yum 10/10 would recommend!! should definitely sit by the window and enjoy the sky whilst you’re in the neighbourhood :)”
