  “Beautiful independent oasis of excellence and friendliness! Lucky cat, even luckier dog! Every dish a masterpiece. The smashed cucumber salad perfect on one of the hottest days of the year. The rice crackers light and perfect with that intriguing little dish. Every mouthful of every dish complex and perfectly balanced. The Gyoza delicate, the Karaage incredibly crunchy… the desserts, we couldn’t choose so had them all! We will be back now we’ve found this special part of Worcester. Might even try the axe throwing in your neighbour’s place.”

  “I had a rare night off parenting duties this week and decided to spend the evening at Maneki Ramen, alone, save for a copy of Gardeners' World magazine for company. It was blissful. I've been before with my husband, which was lovely, but tonight was really special. The waitress couldn't have been lovelier and the food was exceptional. I didn't want it to end. I decided to push the boat out and have a small carafe of sake and a beautiful custard tart for pud. If I ever get the chance to spend the evening alone again, I know where I'll be heading for dinner. Thank you Maneki x”

  “First time trying Maneki, first thing I'll say is the presentation of the food is fantastic. We ordered a variety of starters which were all very tasty, a nice variety of drinks too. The mains... we had ramen bowls and a katsu curry. The katsu was great (as it usually is), but all of the dishes were missing 'something', perhaps it was our choices but it wasn't super flavourful. I would've loved some carrot or tenderstem broccoli, not sure if that's authentic but the veg was mostly Beansprouts. Really nice staff and atmosphere, the food I just didn't enjoy enough for a return visit.”

  “Always the best ramen! Hands down you can't get better in Worcestershire. Such a lovely atmosphere, busy but not chaotic. The staff are always lovely and have time to discuss the menu with you any dietary changes we're really well accommodated with no fuss.”

  “Celebrating our neighbour’s birthday, we visited Maneki Ramen for a bite to eat before heading out for the evening. Tucked slightly away from Worcester’s main strip, this restaurant sits beneath the railway arches, giving it a unique character and atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The setting is fantastic, with both indoor and outdoor seating available, all thoughtfully designed and well protected from the elements. Despite being located under a railway line, the space feels surprisingly open and welcoming. The impressive arched ceilings create a real sense of scale, making it feel far larger than you might expect. We were seated in a cosy booth, which was perfect for our group, although there is also plenty of communal bench-style seating for larger parties or those looking for a more social dining experience. The menu offered a great selection of dishes and catered well for a variety of dietary requirements, ensuring everyone in our group had plenty of choice. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavourful, and thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were excellent throughout our visit - friendly, attentive, and efficient without ever feeling intrusive. They made sure everything ran smoothly and that we had everything we needed. Overall, Maneki Ramen combines great food, excellent service, and a distinctive setting, making it a wonderful addition to Worcester’s dining scene and somewhere we would happily visit again.”

  “The choice of vegan options is great, it’s part of the menu structure rather than a single option tick box exercise as in many places, the food was authentic and SO good. The staff there couldn’t have been nicer, and the restaurant itself was a great quirky space created within railway arches. Would definitely recommend if you are in Worcester.”
