House of Fu: Ramen, Cocktails & Karaoke

You'll find this Portland Street spot tucked above street level, where the smell of rich pork bone broth hits you the moment you walk in. The ramen here is the real deal – silky tonkotsu that's been simmering for hours, topped with proper chashu that melts on your tongue. Don't sleep on the cocktails either; they know their way around a shaker and the Japanese whisky selection is solid. Once you've demolished a bowl (or two), grab your mates and head to one of the private karaoke rooms. It's the perfect progression from slurping noodles to belting out questionable song choices. The whole setup works brilliantly – eat, drink, sing, repeat. Just book ahead for weekend karaoke sessions because half of Manchester has cottoned on to this formula.
