Popular ramen spot and karaoke bar House of Fu quietly closes in Manchester

'Sometimes a site just doesn’t click'

Daisy Jackson - 4th March 2026

One of Manchester’s coolest ramen spots has quietly closed its doors last weekend, saying the site just ‘doesn’t click’.

House of Fu opened just two and a half years ago on Portland Street, following major success across in Leeds.

Their Manchester restaurant was kitted out with details like a neon piece of art in the shape of multi-storey noodles, and a bright orange, blue and white colour scheme against classic exposed brick.

On the menu, it was a comprehensive list of ramen bowls, rice bowls, and small plates, plus great cocktails.

But despite such a solid offering, House of Fu has shared its heartbreaking closure, with its final service last Saturday.

They wrote: “Manchester PSA! We’re heartbroken to announce that we’ll be closing House of Fu on Portland Street this Saturday, 28th February and this will be our last weekend serving the good people of Manchester.

“It’s been a wild two and a half years. To say the economic landscape has been challenging would be a bit of an understatement, but sometimes a site just doesn’t click. You live and hopefully learn.

“We want to say a massive thank you to all our staff. They’ve worked incredibly hard to make sure our customers have had amazing experiences since day one and closing is absolutely no reflection on them. We also want to say thanks to you, our patrons, for choosing to spend your time and money with us.

“We’d also like to thank our landlords, Bruntwood, who’ve been incredibly helpful since we opened, 10/10, would rent again.

“Hopefully we’ll see some of you again soon and please remember to support your local independent hospitality businesses. From the House of Fu Team.”
