Shoryu Ramen in Manchester

Extremely delicious Japanese ramen in terms of European standard. Staff are extremely friendly. Nothing to complain.

I got some Ramen to go as well as a few sides. Definitely much better than the disaster I had at Wagamama but it was nothing to write home about. I have definitely had much better ramen bowls in the lower east side of NYC at a more affordable price. I'm convinced there's no great ramen in this city, and this is about as good as it's going to get. -sigh- I guess four stars because everything else is abysmal and this is at least decent.

A real delight!!! I had a hard time finding authentic ramen in France so I'm really happy to have eaten at this restaurant. Thanks ❤️

A Ramen done really well. This time I chose the one with prawns and I must admit that they prepare it really well, if you are Italian and the place is not full, the head waiter is an Italian boy who likes to entertain guests with suggestions and advice. The plum wine is absolutely worth trying.

My first time and it was amazing food, had the £20 lunch deal and it was lovely! Great twelve o’clock pick me up before heading back to the desk.

I loved the food, the sauce was delicious. Congratulations to the chef and the entire team.

The pork buns were excellent and the Ramon was plentiful. I got takeaway and the staff were very friendly. A little pricey but to be expected. Would recommend

The food had no flavour or taste. It was so blend. The staff was nice.

Best ramen I have ever had! We found a Shoryu in london ( shoresitch) and fell in love. And I'll tell you this spot is better ! Absolutely brilliant !

Our go to ramen place! Delicious ramen for vegans✨

Can consider the weekday lunch set at £20+.

Just what I hoped for- the welcome was warm, the atmosphere functional but friendly, service was excellent and very quick. The staff took pains to explain the menu thoroughly so we didn’t feel baffled by the variety or options. The food tasted really good and the meat in my ramen dish was very tender. All reasonably priced too, for a city centre location. ♿️Access from the street is level, with plenty of room between tables. There was a women’s/access toilet but this was cluttered with a baby changing table that would make wheelchair use impossible. I’m sure they’d move it if asked, but that’s not the point. We enjoyed the visit and will definitely return

Service is very good staff are extremely friendly, ramen was very good and the noodles were sublime! Very affordable, would recommend

We had a reservation for 7, but they didn't keep a table for us.

The best ramen I have had, definitely recommend the chicken katsu curry ramen.

We went there craving katsu curry and we were not disappointed! Definitely recommend stopping by if you fancy some Japanese inspired food! It’s quite a casual set up, nothing fancy, and really nice atmosphere. Great value for money too when it comes to food. A pint of a Japanese beer was £7.20 so on a pricey side, but the food was very reasonably priced. For two beers, two katsu curries and a mochi brownie with ice cream we paid £56.

Fantastic Ramen. They ask you how firm you want the noodles. The edamame comes with yuzu salt, the gyoza are terrific, and of course the broth is top notch. Gianluca and his colleague last Friday lunch also did an amazing job as servers when it was really busy. Great communication and composure in a busy Ramen shop. Awesome place.

Good ramen, good service. Not exceptional but above average

The ramen was ok. Nothing special. Food rarely gives me stomach problems but this ramen did. Overall I won't go back, but if you want something warm you can take a risk. I think you can find a better place with ramen.

We liked the ramen, although it wasn't anything special. Unfortunately, we all had indigestion long after eating. Very poor service, I don't understand why I have been charged for it. You just order by yourself using QR code and one of those sad people working there brings it to you. We waited almost 10 minutes to be seated at a table, while the place was half empty.

I had a very pleasant experience. The food was served quickly and was really quite good. Particular shout-out to the wait staff who were very nice and went out of their way to explain multiple dishes to me and my partner. Shota was one such staff member who was very nice and helpful. Would definetly recommend and I plan to come back for the curry next time.

Nice place, a bit overrated. It's good for solo dining or maybe even a date cus the place is small. Ramen was good but the sides are not as good especially the gyoza- tasted burnt. The staff was a little too pushy and chatty, the female staff in this place probably came and talked to me and my date like 10+ times throughout our course. Also didn't get the birthday desert I was hoping for. The manager I think tried to arrange it but the chatty waitress ruined by asking for something at our table which was meant to be a surprise for my boyfriend. Overall it was nice and the welcoming but can do much better.

Always amazing food, had the £20 lunch deal and it did not disappoint! Great midday pick me up before heading back to the office.

Always an easy win. Thanks to Amelia for the great service

I guess I was just unlucky, because there are some good deals on the menu. And I’m sure they usually serve good meals, otherwise they wouldn’t have this rating. However, because I came between lunch and dinner, I only picked the Karaage, which - considering the price - came as quite a small portion and were too dry. And that makes my visit a 2 star visit only, sorry🤷🏻‍♂️

Very good Japanese restaurant. Bit pricey but worth the amount for the quality of food. I ordered the Kotteri Hakata Tonkotsu and the broth was thick and flavourful. Only thing is I ordered the very hard noodles but I found it was still quite mushy, other than that, good for everything else and would recommend. 👍👍

Love the ramen here and the pork bao buns are great too. Octopus balls contain really tough and chewy octopus unfortunately, and it's a shame they swapped the little moons mochi ice cream out for mochi filled with ganache. The ganache is too sweet. But the ramen comforts me every time

The best ramen place I've ever been to! Such a beautiful environment. The food was absolutely delicious, never had ramen broth quite like this one . We had the vegan natural one! So creamy and amazing! Highly recommend!!

Came here with my bf and had the signiture ramen, it tasted amazing and had a rich tasting broth; never had ramen that heavenly before. Whoever is cooking back there needs a raise! I have a peanut allergy and they were very thorough in making sure it was kept in mind and even showed the ingredient list to me to make sure what i chose was alright. Going above and beyond! Quick and friendly service with nice staff and a lovely atmosphere added to the experience, would definitely recommend trying the food here because its 11/10!!

Horrible management. How on earth looking for delivery drivers all day to send the ramen, which means cooling ramen while waiting. If u would charge customers that much price, treat them in a right way.

Fuimos aquí dos veces en nuestra corta estancia en Manchester, porque el ramen era muy bueno la primera vez. El personal es amable y la comida era de primer nivel. Gianluca, nuestro camarero la segunda vez, fue especialmente amable y conocedor. El restaurante en sí es pequeño, así que tal vez llamaría para reservar temprano. Tuvimos suerte de conseguir asientos el segundo día.

Ramen not bad, not a really tranditional Japanese ramen. Service not bad. But it's so wired to play two PRC songs within a hour. Quite disappointing.

Great food and very friendly stuff

Me and my partner been here many times for years but this time the ramen had little to no taste. Also the side of pork was chewy and dry normally it melts in your mouth. Was so disappointed because this was my birthday meal and one of my favourite places in manchester. Wasnt offerd any discount and was looked at clueless. I was suggested to have a replacement and it was pretty much the same. I feel kinda conned. I also noticed the microwave was pinging alot when we was in there which wasnt normal ethier... Time to look for a nice ramen place.

Small restaurant located in Piccadilly Gardens , I have been here already a couple times and it has always been fantastic, but today i came with my family without a booking (7 of us) despite being full the restaurant, Gianluca welcomed us and made everything possible to find a table for us !! Super friendly and professional, he took care of us ,he was very patient and he explained all the offers available plus he speaks Italian and Spanish which it was really helpful, and my family really appreciated. Food was delicious too!! Thank you so much for the amazing experience!!

We ordered total of 2 bowls of ramen with a dessert afterwards which costed us 40£. On top of that the waitress added service charge (4£) to the bill without even asking!!!! The garlic press had bits of garlic that has gone bad long time ago which had to be changed by the waitress. Dishes are small and very expensive. Do not recommend.

Authentic Japanese food experience. Loved the interior which gave a calm and relaxing vibe. Staff were fast and efficient. Tried the Octopus balls and chicken as appetisers which were both great. The Ramen dishes were also amazing and also very filling. Both indoor and outdoor seating available. Would visit again within a doubt.

Me and my friend who don't get to see each other often we're excited for our day out in Manchester and for them to take me to a restaurant that they remembered being some of the best kastu curry they'd found, and a really nice atmosphere where you are greeted on the way in. So I was excited. Me and my friend are into a lot of fashion, so we like to do makeup and dress up a bit interesting on our days out, but nothing insane, just bright colours and for me I'm a little more gothic, just some white and graphic liner, which I didn't think would be a problem. We waited outside where it said to for about five minutes with staff inside seeing us and ignoring us. Thinking maybe we were a bit young, we decided to step inside to show that we wanted to be seated. We again stood there for some time, confused as to why this pretty calm and not busy restaurant would not take us to a table. One of the chefs was pointing to the bar staff and waiters to come sit us but they said no, embarrassed and went into the back, so the chef had to tell us we could sit at a table that did not have any cutlery or napkins. No one came up to take our order, which we saw they did for other tables, and luckily there was the option of QR code so we got to order. The staff who came over seemed embarrassed to do their job. The manager was the one who brought over our food, where they asked how things were, and I explained that we've been ignored by the other staff. The manager and chef that seated us were nice, but everyone else was a little rude. The food was very nice, and a good portion size, it was annoying to see other guests greeted while we still didn't have napkins. There is also a mandatory 10% service charge. A little disappointing that we were treated differently because of how we looked when we just wanted to have some fun.

Overall solid ramen! The pork buns were absolutely delicious!

Ramen was really bland, dry and lacked any real flavouring. Broth was non-existent for my ramen bowl, quite disappointing. Similarly, Karaage Chicken was absolutely miserable, crunchy, tough and like eating a dog’s dinner. Total bill was WAY too expensive. Would’ve been better off at a Wagamama.

Nothing to say but excellent food and service. 6*

So I go to this restaurant yesterday and I order spicy mountain ramen(I said to do it not spicy,they said okey don’t worry) and tonkotsu curry with prawn’s and after That I wait for more than 1 hour for my food and they just forgot about me! Is it normal? Okey then I ask about how much time I need to wait for my food they said 10 minutes I said okey and then I see my food curry with prawn’s is really good but ramen is spicy? I said to do it not spicy and it’s spicy. So I don’t write more because it’s really long history but this service is really bad

Ramen well worth coming back everytime I'm in Manchester. Loved that they had a Godzilla Crossover Menü (spicy) but didn't love that two of the beers we wanted to try from the menu were not available :/ Mebe next time!

A very good bowl of pork ramen. Will come again.

It gets very busy at lunchtime so best to make a reservation. The lunch deal is a starter, ramen and drink for £20. But then ramen is cheaper between 3 and 5 when it's quieter. The pumpkin bao and veg white ramen was tasty. They add a service charge automatically at the end. The deal of the day on Tuesday didn't include a veg option

The food is great, the broths are incredibly rich, only drawback is a lot of the meats are separately cooked and stored and then dropped on top while plating up which i could tell as a lot of the time if meat is sticking out the non-submerged end is cold. But i don't mind that. Atmosphere is great, the drum entrance when you're seated is very cool. Only drawback is the service. It's always really slow, I've been several times with my partner, we only order 1 drink, 1 starter and 1 main each, and yet we've never been in and out in less than an hour and a half. There's just too many tables in the small unit so everything is quite slow, and then putting 10% service on top of your bill feels like a kick in the teeth. I've been a few times, it's worth checking out once, but I'm not in a rush to go back any time soon, unless they take away a couple tables to speed up the process.

Would eat here every day if I lived in the centre of Manchester. Always wonderful service and delicious food. Also tried their Sake tasting board, which was interesting and really tasty. Would recommend and can't wait to visit again.

Excellent from the minute we walked in from food to service cannot fault

The service is incredibly poor, I ordered the hard ramen, but it comes very soft. And when I went out, the male waiter was even suspicious if I paid the bill, I told him the female waitress who gave me the bill, he actually went ahead and check with her. What a joke.

Probably the best ramen I've ever had. Staff were so lovely and welcoming and gave suggestions/ recommendations when I was spoiled for choice. We'll be back!

The ramen is good, I can’t remember the specific dish I had but it was nice and spicy! I would recommend if you are out on a busy Christmas shop! You can collect up points too for a free dish. drinks are a little expensive.

It's always worth a visit when we're in Manchester

Food was amazing! We've had ramen and gyoza and everything was so tasty. We reserved the table in advance because there were a lot of us, but the service was fast and people working there are really nice.

I think you need to check the freshness of the food especially the ice cream... My child came home from a kids' meal and started vomiting until now at 1.30am when he woke up from his sleep vomiting yellow bile, similar to food poisoning…

I nipped in today for a quick meal before a train. I had the Shoryu Ganso Tonkotsu and the Nansi Drops cocktail, absolutely delicious and the waitress and manager were excellent, very prompt and on the ball with allergens. My dish itself came quickly and was incredibly flavoursome and good value for money. I just wish I had more time to try starters and more cocktails but it’s definitely somewhere which I’ll be coming back with friends.

Arrivée tardive, personnel accueillant et bienveillant Cadre sympathique, jolie vue sur le square Nourriture préparer à la demande ( Buns) Rien à dire Prix très corrects Je conseillerais

Really good was amazing! 🤩 service was top notch!

The specialty is ramen, very delicious although in the end the spiciness tires you out and takes away the flavor of the rest. Very good recommendation and help from the Italian waiter. Very nice The starter was delicious crispy chicken with a super good sauce that he also recommended to us. The menu included a very delicious, slightly spicy drink. Good price We had looked for it but what decided us was that it was practically full of Japanese people so it has to be good.

Omg!!! This is the place to have ramen!!!! Honestly the most authentic and the best quality stuff you can have!! Definitely recommend!!! The waiter was sooper friendly as well. Ambience, food service 10/10!!

Amazing food, speedy service and attentive staff, I really would recommend it

Really great service from Gianluca! I do not like spicy food so he accomodated our order so I can enjoy our sides including the pork bao bun which was delicious! The food incredibly tasty and worth the visit!

My favourite ramen place in Manchester

It was okay… Central location, good atmosphere and service but the food lacked depth of flavour. We ordered two ramen dishes. The noodles had a good texture and were well cooked but could have been more flavourful. The same can be said for the broth; it was good but not amazing. The Karaka Tan Tan Tonkotsu needed some more salt to help enhance some of the good flavours in the dish, and the broth should have been cooked for longer to allow the flavours to develop. The Piri Piri Tonkotsu lacked depth, it had an overpowering flavour of chili peppers so some of the bone broth flavour was lost. There are certainly better ramen bowls in Manchester with more affordable prices.

Had the vegan ramen and some tea, both were spectacular. Loved the staff and overall vibe, too. Would definitely go again!

Lovely food and great atmosphere and reasonable price

This is my go to place for ramen and they also have some delicious starters such as takoyaki and fried chicken. Never disappointed with taste. Service has always been good in my experience, staff are very helpful with the menu or requesting substitutions. We went with a booking most recently Friday dinner time but there were tables available for walk in as well.

The lunch special is a good deal with a small app, tea and ramen. Had a tonkatsu ramen, it was overall pretty good, the pork was not seasoned enough, that’s the only thing. Service was also fine overall, pretty quick but I also felt a bit rushed.

Food and drinks were amazing, staff was great and our server even recommended some great places to go!

Ramen is good, the noodles is just alright, the pork is really good.

Decent ramen but not worth £15 + 10% service fee

Today I went to Shoryu Ramen to have dinner with my boyfriend. We arrived around 9:00 pm and ordered 1 ramen, 1 bun, and 1 takoyaki. The total price was 34.82 pounds. However, after around 25 minutes passed, my order was still not served, and no one came to ask. On top of that, I saw the 1 table behind us; they came later and got their food before us, so I asked some waitress, and they told me that they have some missed communication. We have decided to not wait and ask for a refund. And I need to wait for 20 minutes for them to process the refund for us, and they also told us that we need to wait for 72 hours to get the money back. So today we wait around 40-45 minutes for nothing. Very bad experience for today.

This was an okay/mid experience. We waited at the entrance as per the sign requested, but no one came. After 5 minutes,  we just walked in and were noticed by staff. We ended up sitting outside looking into Piccadilly Gardens, as inside the restaurant was very crowded. We ordered boa buns to begin, which were very forgettable and didn't have much in them. For mains, we had katsu curry ramen, which was nice, but given the total price, this did not hit the expectations. Overall, it was okay, but I probably won't be visiting again.

Jay, James and team have been exceptional

Excellent food. Great service. Very busy.

I visited this branch on Friday 16th August 2024 at 2:30pm. The restaurant had a lot of customers inside. I had to wait quite some time to be seated, as the 2 servers just looked at me and moved elsewhere. I was finally seated outside. I once again had to wait some time for my order to be taken. I had the Soba iced tea which was lovely, even though I had to ask for it twice. I also had the Ganso Curry, which looked nice, but was pretty bland, with very overcooked meat. This was supposed to be their signature curry dish, so it was a real disappointment. The total including 10% Service charge was £19.85.

Greeted with warmth by staff particularly the manager, Jon he’s an Italian I guess. He remembers us visited a while ago. Very observant and keen to help us even if it’s so busy during lunch hour.

Small restaurant but nice atmosphere the service and staff really good, food was great

Ramen is top notch! Super tasty. Will be dreaming about it. Quick and good service

Good food, good price and great staff!

Absolutely delicious bowl of ramen. I had the Dracula and they certainly didn't skimp on the garlic. Simply sensational!

Still the best ramen I ever had and the only place with takoyaki I know.

Probably the best option if someone wants to try Japanese ramen in Manchester, but it's not 100% authentic, tonkotsu's decent I would say

even though we arrived before closing time and were indecisive with the order the staff was very friendly and the ramen was great.

Gianluca and alva were very welcoming and even tho my personal taste didn't match food they were so apologetic and offered me free a desert even when I told them the food wasnt for me, couldn't ask for a more perfect start to the world of ramen. hopefully the next one wows me like the team

The best japanese ramen restaurant in the UK!

Calm atmosphere, delicious food, helpful staff and a decent price. Not too far from the shops. Definitely worth a visit if you love bone broth ramen like me.

I love Shoryu ramen, especially the piri-piri variant! Love it as hot as it can be

Came here earlier this month on a busy Friday evening. We were luckily able to get a table without a reservation. Staff were very welcoming and friendly, and went over the menu with us. I decided to have the chicken katsu curry ramen, and my partner had the pork ramen. Our food arrived pretty quickly, and we were surprised by how big a bowl full of food we got for the price! The taste was incredible, so jam packed with flavour! We also decided to get mochi ice cream. I opted for sesame mochi, and matcha mochi. My partner opted for chocolate mochi. We both enjoyed these, but think the sesame one was the nicest. Slightly pricey for what you get, but we're glad we tried it and didn't opt for more as we were very full. Very pleased we came here. We both enjoyed it very much, and will happily return when we next visit Manchester.

Delicious ramen shop that reminds me of those in Japan!

Better than „Kushi Tei of Tokyo“ (Düsseldorf, Germany)! Shoryu Ramen in Manchester is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, the inviting atmosphere and chic decor make you feel right at home. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring a seamless dining experience. The ramen here is out of this world. The rich, flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and top-notch toppings come together to create a bowl of pure bliss. I particularly loved the special edition Takana Tonkotsu – the depth of flavor was simply unmatched, and the char siu pork was tender and delicious. Not only is the food exceptional, but the overall dining experience is also top-notch. The menu offers a fantastic variety, catering to all tastes, and the attention to detail in every dish is evident. Whether you're a ramen aficionado or new to this culinary delight, Shoryu Ramen is a must-visit. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy authentic, high-quality ramen in Manchester. Five stars without a doubt!

My partner and I went for dinner on a Monday evening and were seated quickly without a reservation. As first time visitors, the menu and offers were explained to us which was nice. We ordered 2 Shoryu buns (which were both delicious - some of the best we’ve ever had), and a cod katsu curry and chicken katsu curry ramen which were both very nice, and everything arrived quickly. We’ve already decided which dishes we’ll try next time - we will make good use of our loyalty card. Thank you

Everything was fine. Too bad the prices don't include taxes. It costs nothing to include them and avoid surprises when paying!

I am lactose intolerant and it's the first time ever that the waiter brings the allergen menu in order to ensure I won't have any allergic reaction. I love the way they treat their customers and it's a very warm atmosphere. I tried the karaage curry and the takoyaki it reminded me of one of the Osaka's donburi avenue I had but not as hot 🤣. I definitely recommend, the Asahi cider 🙏.

Delicious tonkotsu ramen, incredibly nice atmosphere, but the real lynchpin of how great an experience it is here is the staff. They were the friendliest and most helpful people I've had the pleasure of being served by, full of recommendations and they were especially kind when I'd lost my wallet. Altogether awesome experience, will be coming here again and again. (Once I've found my wallet)

Awful experience. Was sat down shown the menu and given some water. The waitress said she’d be over shortly to take our order. 20 mins later manager asked if we had ordered said no. He then rushed off to seat another party a further 2 parties sat down and were served straight away. Could understand if the restaurant was busy. Seemed shocked when we asked to just pay for the water and leave. Warning sign should have been two other tables complaining about the wait for food. Shame as I’d heard good things

Great service at a Japanese ramen shop in Manchester city centre.

love the place to bits, best ramen in manchester

Nice Ramen in town and with a nice garlic press🧄 so that you may add on some garlic sprinkle on top for your 🍜☺️ We also ordered a porky rice which also a great choice of Gluten free option, remember to add some more sesame if you want for a bowl of Ramen 🍜

Highly recommended ‘mazemen’! I love it!
