Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the service, with servers described as friendly, welcoming and attentive. One describes a server who brought crispy chili oil after spotting the spicy sauces on the table and refilled a water jug before anyone asked. Another says a server helped choose a meal, and another says staff explained how to eat certain dishes. The food draws close praise, with the katsu chicken called superb, plus the prawn Buddha bowl, chicken noodles, fried rice and noodles, and a veggie and vegan avocado stack at brunch. Reviewers call the dishes flavourful and well presented, with a good variety. Portions get mixed comments: several call them generous or just right, while one finds the quantity somewhat lower than appropriate and would like it increased. One reviewer notes the chicken is halal with a separate halal menu, and another calls the prices not too expensive. Several mention being looked after quickly enough to carry on shopping afterwards.

“Absolutely loved it! The food was full of flavour and beautifully presented. The fried rice and noodles were both delicious, with generous portions and a great balance of Asian flavours. The drink was really refreshing too. Everything we ordered tasted great — definitely a place I’d happily come back to again!”

“We had a very enjoyable meal at Tampopo in Trafford Centre. The food was delicious, well presented, and the portions were just right, generous without being overly large. A special mention to Patty, who was incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. Her friendliness really added to the experience. Great food, lovely service, and definitely a place we’d be happy to visit again.”

“We had a great meal here with my little girl. I had the Prawn Buddha Bowl and she had the chicken noodles, and both were delicious. A special thank you to Nikki, who was such a lovely server. He was friendly, polite, attentive, and incredibly quick throughout our visit, making us both feel very welcome. The food was excellent and the service made the experience even better. Give Nikki a promotion, he’s an absolute credit to the team! We’ll definitely be back.”

Highlights
“Take a well-earned refuelling break in the heart of Manchester’s retail mecca. Sit outside in the upper food hall and watch the bustle go by, or join us inside and watch our skilled chefs work the woks. Perfect for pre- or post-cinema eats. No loudly discussing spoilers though, yeah?”
