Tampopo

Tampopo has long established itself as Manchester’s go-to for fresh Eastern cooking ever since opening its doors 25 years ago. It’s become an institution, having worked with chefs from around East Asia to perfect their authentic recipes from Japanese ramen to Thai green curry.

Independently owned and established in 1998 by Co-Founder David Fox, it was one of the first Pan Asian restaurants in Manchester and now has three restaurants spread across the city: Albert Square, The Corn Exchange and The Trafford Centre as well as a London branch called “East Street by Tampopo”.

Dimly lit and styled like a vibrant Kowloon alley, the brand has a real sense of authenticity that excites the palette on immediate entrance. This authenticity doesn’t just apply to the decor as the chefs at Tampopo are flown out to East Asia each year to attend cooking schools, immerse themselves in South East Asian culture and learn how to cook the best, genuine dishes for guests.
