Great Choices for vegan! - Edit
Had a vegan katsu curry, with vegan mock chicken. Also some mock chicken sushi rolls. Great protein options for the vegan lifters. 💪

Delicious ramen! - Edit
I had the vegan Hell's ramen, it was delicious! Spicy soup with vegan bacon. However I could have had some more toppings other than the bacon, pak choi, spring onion, seaweed.

Nice ramen - Edit
Loved the avo sushi here. The bacon ramen bowl was tasty but the broth was a bit average in my opinion. The cocktails here were delicious. Lots of choice and some different choices to the usual. I was also very glad to be seated away from the gong that was being banged every 5 minutes.

ramen / katsu - Edit
I was stuck between the ramen and katsu & I kinda wish I went with the katsu so I had more flavourful meal!

Good range of options - Edit
Visited during lunchtime for a meal with my husband. The place was quiet as it had just opened. I had the vegan Tan Tan ramen and he had the black garlic, which were both nice. Good size portions and the vegan bacon was really good. Will definitely return soon.

Tasty ramen - Edit
There are several vegan ramen options on the menu, all clearly labelled, plus at least one katsu and noodle dish as well. I tried the black garlic tonkotsu ramen. It was a good dish, but unfortunately it didn't quite live up to its name - it wasn't particularly garlicky, and the broth wasn't as thick as I expected from a tonkotsu, though that may be a poor understanding on my part. It was still tasty though, with a nice savoury broth and none of the filler toppings you sometimes find on vegan ramen. I ordered mine with extra vegan bacon, and I'm glad I did - it was delicious! I think without the extra bacon it might have been a little unexciting overall. The portion of noodles was extremely generous, and certainly filled me up.
Read moreI also ordered the vegan bao, though the menu description of this item is bewilderingly vague - it doesn't actually tell you what the filling is. Happily, it turned out to be filled with a delicious crispy chicken patty. The texture and taste were great, though the patty was too big for the bun so it was a bit tricky/messy to eat.
Overall, I was really pleased with my dishes and would happily return. I was there with a mixed vegan and omni group, and everyone was satisfied.

BEST RAMEN IN THE UK - Edit
We first went here in Edinburgh and it was the first time since being in Japan that any ramen even came close to the real thing. So happy we have one in Manchester now.. if you really like spice go for the hells ramen, I prefer the tan tan which is still spicy. The noodles takes SO fresh. Just tried the bao buns for the first time which were amazing too and don’t forget to try the kimchi it’s the best I’ve ever had !!!

Lots of options - Edit
Lots of vegan options. Personally, I don’t think it’s the best ramen ever but they were good nonetheless. I’d like to see another bao bun option too.

Great vegan options - Edit
I went here twice already. Tried ramen and then the curry with rice. It was both very delicious, very filling meals. Beautiful atmosphere as well. Restaurant was busy despite going during a weekday for lunch and then evening.

Delicious - Edit
Had the black garlic tonkotsu with extra tofu and thoroughly enjoyed it. The broth was so warming and flavourful with a good mix of bits on top. There were several different ramen bowls, a couple of rice bowls, one type of sushi and a few sides. Everything was clearly labelled for vegans. The atmosphere was trendy and welcoming, we stayed a long time but never felt rushed into leaving. £13.90 for a bowl of ramen, not cheap but it's what you'd expect for a restaurant in central Manchester, good quality food and decent portion sizes. Only downside was that there were no vegan desserts.
