I’ve just been for an afternoon cooking class here where we were hosted by Pom, Leyla and Noon.
The class was amazing, it took 2 hours and we were taught how to cook dumplings and massam curry, which we then had the pleasure of sitting down to eat it.
The setup and Pon’s guidance were really clear and easy to follow. I had so much fun and will definitely be going to another!

We had an amazing time enjoying bottomless brunch. Delicious food and cocktails and really great service. We'll be back!!! Highly recommend :)

10/10. Me and my boyfriend come once or twice a year to celebrate our birthdays or anniversaries. We came on his birthday today and they made it so special 

Food, service, everything was great! Good value for the delicious cocktails. Very accommodating of food intolerances, I had a great gluten free Pad Thai. Highly recommend this place.

Marie and Phoebe were fantastic hosts and made our Anniversary even more special. The food is top notch. Drinks were good. Will go again.

Arrived on a Thursday afternoon, just in time for bottomless brunch for my birthday with my wife. I had recently been to Singapore with work and wanted to introduce my wife to some of the amazing Far Eastern dishes. Tampopo exceeded all of my expectations, it was not a busy afternoon, so we had the place to ourselves Hollie and Marie where so welcoming, inviting and could not do anything more for us. Food was delicious, cocktails were amazing. One even came in a bucket, a bucket! What more do you want. I will be coming back.

Really vibrant and delicious food, great service and experience. Phoebe who served us was super friendly, quick and patient with us when we took ages deciding on the menu. She helped us with a couple dishes and shared that the red curry noodles I ordered is her favourite and a good choice (and I can see why!) You could tell she really likes the food there and was keen to talk about it.
Really great dinner many thanks!

We've been coming here for since it opened, I think 28 years ago and it's still just as good, if not better.

Such good food and the menu is constantly evolving which keeps us coming back for more.

Fantastic service from Mike on our last visit too, thank you.

We're just going to keep on visiting.

The best asian food i have ever had in UK. The nasi goreng itself was the star of the show. The black pepper chicken was a chef’s kiss. Bang bang prawn was so so. Not that much good.We are definitely going there again n again.

We have Halal, vegan and meat options available.

The food was spectacular, especially the mango sticky rice, which was divine. The restaurant's interior is stunning and provides a serene atmosphere perfect for dating, conversation, and enjoying delicious Thai cuisine. There was only one staff member working during our visit; she managed taking orders, preparing and serving food, while also attending to children. She was incredibly kind and humble. Kudos to that staff member for balancing her professional duties with her role as a mother.

Honestly the place we wanted to go to was closed so we walked down and came across this jem. It had a halal sticker on the front window so we went in. It was a cute looking cosy place so we took a seat by the fireplace. Seating was nice. They had a swing like chair with flowers so would be great for pictures. The owner/ staff was lovely. Menu had great options. Food came very fast. Was hot and fresh. Wasn't the best food I had but still very tasty 4/5.We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere just bit on the small side so if it was full I might not have liked it as much but I went on a quite Thursday night.. Will be back to try more options. Give it a go. Free parking on road outside.

As i have mentioned many times, I have travelled to Thailand and I absolutely love that cuisine. While me and my friends were pub hopping at Didsbury Dozens, we came across this restaurant. The prices were a bit on a higher side than other restaurants. One of us was a vegetarian and ordered a portion of spring rolls which was awful. It tasted tangy and had a strong smell. Others ordered Chicken/Prawns Pad Thai. There were no vegetables, just the flat noodles and meat. The server's name was Dharma if I'm not wrong who was very attentive and hospitable. They definitely need to work on their food and portion size. The ambience is beautiful though.

Delicious food with a good ambiance. A bit overpriced considering the portion sizes, but the location likely contributes to this. Friendly, welcoming staff enhance the experience. Recommended overall.

The food didn't really taste like Thai food. The portions were small and were pricey.
The chilli basil dish was more like an Indian curry. The dumplings were very bland and the outside was paper thin, no taste. However, the tamarind dish was nice, but the duck was very dry and hard. Food is all halal but they serve alcohol. They don't do Thai red or Tom yum, but they did make me the Tom yum soup upon request.

Try Thai

Had the £15.95 lunch special, and maybe I chose poorly, but I didn't love my starter or main sadly. I had the fried aubergines with panang sauce - the sauce was absolutely delish, I could have drunk it, but I found the batter on the aubergines to be really thick, bland and oily.
For main I went for the stir fry thick flat noodles with veg - the selection of veg was excellent and they were super fresh, but again I found it bland and not super spicy (which was indicated on the menu).
The curries my colleagues had looked good though, so I blame my choices! Good value though, and the staff were wonderfully friendly!

Tried Try Thai today in Manchester. Ordered two dishes from the lunch menu: Thai salad and the stir-fried chilli & holy basil with chicken. The spice was great, almost like in Thailand. Portions felt a bit small for the price, but the service was friendly and the location is very convenient. However, a service charge was added to the bill without asking, which I really don’t think is okay, it should at least be mentioned or confirmed before.

Lunch date with my husband. We opted for their Lunch 3-course menu for £15.95. It was very busy when we reached there and luckily we had booked a table.

Good range of dish options. We ordered Garlic Spare Ribs, Thai Spicy Salad, Stir-fry Chilli & Holy Basil Crispy Belly Pork, and Green Curry Pork to share; a coffee and a green tea.

Everything was very good (portion size, textures, and flavours). Nothing to fault. Highly recommend this lunch menu in Chinatown.

Great Thai option in Chinatown Manchester. Service was kind and fast. We had the lunch option, but be careful to check the spice levels of each plate, the chilli's might make you regret your choice. The food was in generous portions, the king prawn spring rolls are a must.

Try Thai has been my favourite restaurant for many years. The food is always absolutely gorgeous. If you like spicy food, I  personally recommend soft shell crab with chilli and holy basil. Accompany it with sticky rice and you’ll feel like you’re in heaven.
Staff are very friendly and welcoming.

GOSSIP Malaysian & Thai Cuisine

Poor starters, great mains. Fantastic that the food is all halal. Nice staff, a little slow for service but nothing major. I think the music should be more authentic and you can't change the view of Broadway lol

I absolutely love this place. We have visited over 6 times and they are consistently great. I always order the beef rendang!!! and then try other things on the menu too. The noodle dishes, Curry's, rice dishes and starters are all great. Wish they sold chips lol but appart from that one thing it's full marks. The restaurant is on a big road with free street parking on the side. Always plenty spaces. Seems family run which is cute. Food can take a while sometimes but you know it's fresh so worth it. Plenty of seating inside. Nice, warm and clean inside. Friendly staff very helpful. Price is decent we paid around £40 for 2 mains, 3 starters and drinks. Halal food ( they do sell alcohol drinks ) . Worth a visit.

Very tasty classy place . Thai dishes similar strength to those in Thailand but calmed down a bit for British taste . Enjoyable evening will be back

Wow what a find, the food tasted liking eating in the streets of Malaysia. Everything is halal and the menu could be adjusted to accommodate your personal preferences. I’ll be going here again.

I enjoyed the evening meal with a group of friends.
The service was good for a small place. And it catered for 8 men with others in the restaurant.
I would make a booking if you wish to sample the far eastern delights.

Hong Thai

This is now my second time coming here, the last time we came we tried more starters. This time round I ordered a pad Thai and yes it was fresh but I don’t feel like it was as nice as other businesses.

I think I would only get the ‘chefs special peri peri chicken’ I’ve never tried anything like this and it’s a balanced healthier meal packed with huge amounts of flavour.

The prices are so amazing and the service is great too.

Whatever that creamy coconut spicy sauce is….. it’s genuinely one of the nicest things I’ve ever tried.

I also tried the tri colour Thai tea which was nice but I think we ordered too much food the first time we went and so I didn’t get to enjoy it as much as it was really heavy, there were some kind of lentil in the drink. It was more like a dessert than a drink.

This place is halal too which is amazing and gives Muslims a chance to try halal Thai/Hong Kong cuisine.  I might try a Hong Kong dish next time as I feel I didn’t try anything from the Hong Kong selections.

Great small cafe style restaurant on the edge of the city centre. Great atmosphere. Arrived Sunday around 1 pm. Queue was about 6 deep but only had to wait 10 mins to be seated. Good service. Order taken quickly and food arrived fast. Diet cokes took a while to arrive though. Beef buns were tasty but very little filling for the size of bun. Chicken tapia grren curry was tasty. Pad Kra Pao was very tasty. Both mains were generous portion sized. A lot of dishes were made with chicken rather than the traditional pork. Would recommend a visit.

Really great people, food was good as well - large portions! The wontons are made from scratch, everything tastes home made.

Pad Thai was really good albeit spicy. Additionally, not sure why a cold version of the same drink is 50% more expensive than the hot version.

The staff were lovely—friendly and attentive. This restaurant is a hot one. However, to be honest, the food didn’t meet my expectations. The curry rice presentation was unappetizing, and the flavour didn’t live up to its reputation. The HK beef brisket and wanton noodles also fell flat, and the HK milk tea could use improvement. Sadly, it’s not worth the 45-minute drive for this visit.

The food was FABULOUS, true home cooked, delicious, Thai food. I felt like I was back in Thailand! Its also a nice price, and I'd say one of the nicest Thai restaurants in the North West. Highly recommended! We don't usually get starters, but the starters were incredible too and I'm so glad we did. They were oozing with taste, everything just tasted amazing. An explosion of taste! Extremely affordable as well for the city, this meal cost HALF the price of most other similar restaurants.

My Thai Restaurant

We came here as a big group on a work night out.  Nicely decorated restaurant and attentive service.

We ordered lots of starters for the table, and I really enjoyed the chicken satay, corn cakes and the crispy tofu.

For my main, I got the chicken Bangkok Pad Thai which was really nice.
Good portion size with nice flavours and nicely cooked chicken.

Only minor issue was I had ordered the crispy chicken, but when they brought the food round and said 'Chicken Pad Thai' I said yes as I hadn't realised there was a non-crispy chicken option.  So I ended up with someone else's food and they had my crispy chicken (but by the time we realised we had already started eating)
Still enjoyed what I had though.

I'll have to come back another day to try the crispy chicken Pad Thai!

Our favourite Thai food place! We ordered takeout before but also went to eat in yesterday. Food was beautiful and fresh as always, and the staff was super sweet, friendly and welcoming. Didn't have to wait long for the order and they happily explained suitable options for my toddler too. Would definitely recommend! ☺️

Tried their spring rolls, red curry with fried rice and the Thai milk tea. All were delicious. This was from their lunch combo set menu. You get many options to select from and for a starter, main and a drink it’s only £16, which I think is a bargain.

Lovely authentic Thai restaurant in the city center. Ive been going here for lunches for years, and this time decided to visit on a Thursday night. Food is always decent, and the staff are attentive and welcoming. Authentic pad thai, spring rolls and tom yum soup.

The place is not 'fancy' - decent value for money. Would highly recommend.

Lovely looking restaurant inside, great food and service.

My visit was around lunch time and there was available seating inside and I was able to order from the lunchtime special menu which was great value.

I noticed there were many people coming in and ordering takeaways mid day which was a sign it must be a popular restaurant.

If you are looking for a Thai restaurant whilst in Manchester this is well worth checking out.

I would definitely visit again when in Manchester.
