I LOVE Tokyo Ramen! It's my favourite ramen place in the UK, and I've been to quite a few now..! I've visited the last three times I've come to Manchester for work and been blown away every time, the menu is usually made up of two staple ramen dishes and then new rotating ones and fresh sides, it's a small menu but everything on it is absolutely perfect - I didn't believe in god until I found out he works here in the kitchen! Bring your friends! Spread the word! Tokyo Ramen is one of my favourite places in the world!
Blown away by the ramen here! Had the spicy chicken broth and it was AMAZING. The side of soft shell crab was perfectly seasoned and not stingy on the portion. The staff were also super friendly. Can't wait to come back here
This noodle bar was fricking busy as heck when I came to this place in mid November 2023 with my brother + his wife and my bf. Very affordable and massive ramen bowls with a very generous portion size. I'd say the soup base was phenomenal just how i like strong seasoned broth base, the pork belly was buttery and melted within seconds, noodle texture was bouncy and good after all fresh handmade noodles are the best. Due to being super busy when I went food service was fast
Serves above average ramen, with the choice of two chicken broths and a mushroom one. Personally, I think the mushroom Kinoko Ramen is the best of the offerings with a creamy depth of flavour. Would recommend but think there is room for improvement in terms of the menus offerings.
It is actually very good ramen. Maybe a bit saltier than optimal for me, but great otherwise.
The barcode menu is a bit silly as the location has poor mobile signal and you have to mess a bit with their own WiFi, but service is good and fast otherwise.
It's not cheap, but worth it if you like ramen.

Went for lunch with a couple of friends today. We had wanted to try the Halloween special that was still high up on the social media page, but that wasn’t available. It would have been nice to have a start and end date on the specials online … but that wouldn’t have stopped us from going as it was strongly recommended by friends.
We had shoyu ramen, fire ramen, koji fried chicken, vegetable gyoza, ramune and yuzu ramune.
The ramen was very good. I loved that the noodles had a good bite and the broth was punchy. We agreed that the shoyu was better than the fire. The torched pork belly in the shoyu was amazing and if I had known, I would have ordered extra of that! Towards the end, there was a bitter edge to the fire, and I wonder if that’s because of the pieces of lemon (or lime?) that’s sitting and soaking in the broth. Regardless, excellent bowls of noodles and I’d gladly have both again (and again) with extra pork!
Service was a bit lackluster and it did feel like we were being told off when we asked for extra firm noodles. I can only assume that others had complained about noodles being too firm before, but if he’s warned me and I still want it… then maybe I didn’t need another “warning”?
This is one of those places with loud thumping music. It seems like a trend these days… but personally, not keen.
In summary, great food… but can I have it as a takeaway in future please?
I had the Fire 🍜 Ramen. Definitely recommend if you take the heat/chilli! Broth was amazing…and the crispy chicken on top was perfectly fried with tender juicy chicken inside.
Fantastic place, great food and very friendly staff too! highly recommended!
I had the kinoko ramen which was nice and tasty, I really liked the consistency of the noodles and the egg was perfect.
My boyfriend had the shio ramen if I am not mistaken and said it was the best ramen he has had.
The portions were ample and I think it is a very appropriate price, especially for a small business in the city centre.
We also ordered a peach highball that the waiter recommended to get which was really nice and I’d definitely get it again.
The general atmosphere of the place was quite casual, you usually share your table with other people. I sat side by side with my partner which made it easier to talk.
The music was also exactly my taste in music so it made it even better!
The Shoyu Ramen with pork was the best I’ve ever had! Great little hidden spot 🙌
Shoyu ramen was good, shio ramen was better! The "torched pork" in both cases was outstanding.
Koji fried chicken was also good, and you get plenty of it.
Quick and friendly service too - great place to grab a quick bite if you're in town.
My only gripe is that the ramen portions weren't the biggest. Chilli oil at the table would have been a nice touch too. Still 5* though!
Amazing dinner tonight. The fact that the chefs cook the food in front of us just levels up the food experience. The ramen was actually tasty with flame torched pork belly, spring onions, ramen egg, seaweed and the ramen noodle. The experience also includes a Japanese soda (citrus) which is hard to get in the UK. Overall, would come again and this restaurant is just amazing.
Pros:
- really fresh
- fast service
- tasty unique ramen flavours!
The vegetarian ramen was unlike any ramen I’d had before, it was sweet and umami at the same time, good noodles
Cons:
- very small, like sardines packed in
- you feel like you have to eat quickly and rush out
- very limited menu
I don’t regret going but wouldn’t necessarily recommend it or not recommend it. It hit the spot for ramen but wasn’t my favourite nor least favourite. It’s good!
Superb ramen! We had the Shoyu Ramen and the Shio Ramen. Perfect meal to warm you up on a cold winters day. Absolutely delicious and perfect portion size. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Will be back for sure.
Urban atmosphere, very industrial.
Great RnB music that complements the industrial feel of the place.
The menu is very small, but well crafted. The chicken broth was one of the best I've had in ages!
Will be visiting again
Must visit place for Ramen, went for the soft crab shell Ramen but that wasn't available so it was a bummer. However their Fire Ramen was top notch, authenticity taste and value for money
