Cons:

• "The service could be a bit better, as we were waiting a really long time to get some water for the table."
• "A minor issue arose with the menu not disclosing a 10% discretionary service charge."
• "Another concern was the seemingly indifferent attitude of the staff. Whether waiting to be seated or requesting the bill, some staff members appeared to deliberately ignore my presence."
• "However, I wish there had been a little more pork in the dish. The pork I did have was cold like it had just come from the fridge, which was a little off putting."
• "Soup was tasteless, noodles were not made freshly, and fried gyoza was terrible and overcooked."
• "We were stopping over in Manchester and had read reviews about Shoryu Ramen so that it was the place we called into for lunch as soon as we got into Manchester."
• "The portion had 3 really very thin slices of pork belly and 2 bites of pickled ginger. BBO pork buns they were cold."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "For mains, ramen is the way to go, but it is a lot. Ramen, broth and condiments all are good for a cold evening."
• "Food and drinks came quite quickly."
• "The Ramen comes out piping hot and is flavoursome and filling."
• "The tonkotsu ramen were great as were the gyoza and bao buns."
• "Delicious veg friendly ramen and buns. Easy to customize orders."
• "Deep flavour broth that leaves your mouth a little sticky. A good sign that they’re using a real broth."
• "Delicious ramen and tasty cocktails! Not the best ramen in the country but definitely up there."
• "Good location with great selection. During peak time there will be a long queue! But booking/reservation is available."

Cons:

• "Ramen was not something to remember."
• "The pork broth isn’t quite as rich on the original tonkotsu as most authentic Japanese broths I’ve tried are."
• "Food, while not terrible, falls short of being a recommendation. The ramen lacks an authentic taste."
• "How is it possible that this is one of the best places in Manchester? With such high reviews? Knowing how Ramen tastes like, this is not a good ramen place."
• "Japan’s ramen culture has quietly become a part of Taiwanese daily life. When I walking on the streets of Taipei, every few steps you can spot a ramen restaurant nearby."
• "We've been in Manchester and we chose Shoryu for dinner. Unfortunately not the best choice."
• "Food poisoning. Very aggressive food poisoning."
• "Genuinely the WORST ramen I’ve had."
