We visited last month before going to the MEN and found a great atmosphere, superb food and fab service, even though they looked under pressure. Will definitey try to get in again on 1st Feb, before show.

I have been with my partner countless times to tampopo and every single time we have loved it. It is one of our favorite restraints and we go all the time. 5 star!
Disgruntled Diner
Without hesitation I can honestly say that this is the worst meal I have ever had when dining out. Whilst the staff, with the exception of the so called chef,were excellent, the food was inedible apart from the prawn crackers which accompanied our drinks.
Our starters were not very hot, which could in part have been due to the over zealous air conditioning which was making the lighting sway from side to side.When the main courses arrived they resembled a microwave ready meal and a bowl of slops with half a hard boiled egg bobbing up and down in it. With the first mouthful we discovered that both dishes were cold. When this was brought to the attention of the staff we were offered alternative dishes but we had no inclination to extend our stay there as the early stages of hypothermia seemed to be upon us, so we asked for the manager instead,who was most apologetic and explained that they were having problems with the air con and stated that we would not be charged for our meals.
A disappointing experience as the menu is both varied and unusual.

Tried the bulgogi, Mee Goreng and Pad Krapow. Overall good food and customer service was excellent (very attentive staff) though the only downside is that the food was not hot enough. Prices are reasonably ok too. Seating could be a bit more comfortable.

Had singapore noodles, which were ok, prefer wagamamas, although I really liked the decor and busy atmosphere.

Tampopo food is lovely. Fresh, healthy, tasty and so cheap! Much better than Wagamamas

Great Ramen noodles after a dreadful shopping experience.

We have been several times to Tampopo and always find the food and service to be excellent. There are plenty of things to try and it's good to see the food being cooked in front of you. The food is always fresh, tasty and healthy in comparison to other restaurants.

Four of us went to Tampopo for lunch. The food was excellent and so was the service. We will definitely return next time we visit the Trafford Centre!
