I ordered their Spicy Natural (£14.40), a spicy version of their White Natural (soymilk, miso, konbu & shiitake broth combo), with the addition of spicy miso sauce. My ramen came out in about 10-12 minutes, with a couple pieces of broccolini, 2 big pieces of spiced atsuage tofu, kikurage (wood ear mushrooms), menma, green onion, and nori, with perfectly cooked thin noodles. The broth was absolutely divine, with a deep richness and complexity that was deeply addictive. All the toppings were carefully thought-out and the noodles were plentiful. Top-notch, friendly service, and a comfortable environment. Fantastic ramen. Highly recommended.

I think the one downside is that the drinks were a bit pricey for what it was, I got the Yuzu Mojito and it was £12. Overall good food, and a chill place to relax for a night out.

I waited for it to open but also didn't want to be the first in, so I waited a bit longer, but other people quickly went inside as its a very popular place. I got seated and the inside vibes were amazing, dimly lit, music playing, most seats looking outside and the kitchen busy at the back of the restaurant. I went for the Shoyu Ramen, and vegetable gyoza with a raspberry lemonade drink and water too. It was a December afternoon so quite chilly outside so this went down a treat. It didn't take long for it to arrive and it smelled divine. First trying the broth, it was full of flavour and not too hot. It was all so good I'm drooling thinking about it. The gyoza were fried so full of vegetable flavour and a crunch of crispy skins. I am planning my next trip soon because it was that good.

Having been at an event all day we had certainly worked up an appetite…read more The agenda was to seek out some sushi, however walking along Oldham Street I spotted this place. I am a massive fan of ramen and cook this dish at home regularly. Having not heard of this place before I suggested we scarp the sushi and head here ( believe me it takes a lot for me to abandon my sushi mission) On entering, the ambiance washed over me immediately, nicely spaced out tables with soothing music. The gent behind the bar took heed of us promptly and welcomed us to sit anywhere. Menus were handed out and although the cocktails sounded delish I was watching my pennies after having spent a fair amount at the event. Unlike me I stuck with the tap water and went straight for the ramen. These started off at £10.50 I did not pay too much attention to the appetisers. Himself chose the basic Tonkatsu which included pork belly and crackling. I was tempted by this but chose to go with the curried soft shell crab tonkatsu which was the most expensive £14.50. They arrived promptly and I have to say the broth was a magnitude of flavour. The soft shell crab I prioritised to prevent it from getting soggy and snaffled the perfectly soft boiled eggs. Apart from some spring onion and noodles, these were the only ingredients. What I would say overrall, I think the Shoryu Ramen place offers more in diversity and ingredients when it comes to the ramen however I felt a lot more comfortable sat in this venue. Also I believe paying this price for ramen is a little bit expensive especially as I know how much it costs to scrape one together. Will I be back? Yes I would not mind trying more of their food along with their alcoholic beverages..

TL;DR - My new favourite for ramen…read more We came here on a particularly wet and miserable day, feeling a little under the weather and in need of reviving. What better solution? Than a steaming bowl of ramen? We were greeted by a very cheerful server who took us through the menu options - basically there are several ramen choices and several bao bun options. We both went with ramen though - Sparky had tonkotsu, I went for the spicy nagoya. Both bowls were absolutely delicious - probably the best ramen I've had in Manchester. Drink wise they had a wide choice of beer and cocktails - we were surprised and happy to see they had draught Asahi so we went with a couple of those. Overall there's nothing to fault here. Great food, great drink, friendly service and reasonable prices.

Rice makes the perfect light meal and noodles come a close second. The Teriyaki and Katsu Curry dishes are delicious.

They have a massive menu, serving both Chinese and Korean cuisines. The bibimbap here is excellent, you can choose your protein between beef, chicken, tofu or seafood and it comes lovely steaming hot in the earthen bowl along with the essential bibimbap sauce which is also on the tables if you need more. The portions are on the huge side so you could easily share a dish. They have a few kimchi dishes including a kimchi set, so kimchi lovers will surely enjoy. The restaurant is located up a stairs beside a Chinese buffet place, and is open pretty late until 10pm. It's massive inside with lots of round tables and appears to be very popular with Asian customers too from when I visited. Overall, if you're looking for some good authentic Korean or Chinese, I really recommend Angel. The staff were lovely and very helpful, they also were nice to explain things on the menu.

We are regular customers at the restaurant, we have never been treated this badly before. The reason behind us not being served the night was not clarified, they gave us a simple answer ' boss said we don't take orders'. I am extremely upset at such poor treatment, I think it is completely unacceptable. The closing time of the restaurant is at 10pm and given that we reached at a normal dinner time at 7:45pm , the restaurant is not full and several ( around 7 ) empty tables were available, it is completely ridiculous for the restaurant not being able to serve us. There is nothing more disappointing than turning up to a restaurant to the appreciate and enjoy their food, but ending up being refused at the door. I truly hope the Angel Restaurant improves on their service and acknowledge that this is not the applicable way to treat customers.

Kimchi is a nice casual korean cafe style restaurant and the food here is limited but good quality…read moreand all priced under £10. I had the kimchi tofu jigae and the kimchi pancake which was pretty big but tasted amazing. In the jigae they also added a poached egg into it which gave it a nice taste, and the spicy factor was perfect; not too spicy. The service is average bit efficient, the food came quite quickly and another good thing is that banchan is served complimentary here, which doesn't seem to be the case with many UK korean restaurants. They also have some Japanese dishes on the menu like sushi, gyoza, temaki and teriyaki. There is parking right outside and it's pay and display but very cheap: 50p for 30 mins and £1 for an hour. The atmosphere is very casual like a cafe, so it's great for lunch as well as dinner. Overall, authentic and tasty Korean food that's well priced and made to a great standard.

It's not as authentic as other places I've been to (mostly in Toronto) but the chicken was good! The chicken itself was crispy (even though it's covered in sauce) and had a good flavour.

Overall, I had a good experience here and the restaurant had good vibes (a lot of university students!).
