Leeds ramen and dumpling spot House of Fu is heading to Manchester. It will land on Portland Street, on the site formerly occupied by tearoom Leaf, and will also feature ‘state of the art’ karaoke rooms.
There will also be a late-night bar, with a licence application in for a 2.30am close, and a ‘secret outdoor terrace’. The new restaurant has been inspired not only by trips to New York, Portland and Los Angeles, but mostly by chef Ben Iley’s 10-year stint as a chef in Tokyo.
The project is coming from the team behind Leed’s Headrow House, the Ox Club and live venue and Belgrave Music Hall, where the first House of Fu opened as a pop up in 2014. It opened a standalone venue on The Headrow just under a year ago.
