MUSU

I had a fantastic dinner at Kaji, and I can’t stop thinking about the Chateaubriand — it was one of the best I’ve ever had. Cooked to absolute perfection, full of depth and flavor. The chef clearly puts heart and soul into every dish.

Our waitress was incredibly professional and kind — attentive without being intrusive, and made the experience smooth and enjoyable. I also want to thank Rachel, the manager, who personally checked in on us and made sure everything ran seamlessly.

Kaji is a place where food, service, and atmosphere come together beautifully. Highly recommended!

It was perfect, the staff were amazing very friendly and down to earth. I had many questions and they shared their very impressive knowledge so
generously ❤️ 🤩

Can’t wait to return and very excited to learn more about Japanese cuisine as  the flavours were exceptional and the techniques used to enhance the akami were a game changer… just need to figure out how to build one of your fridges in the house 😂

Thank you to all the team it was just perfect and we’ll be back soon when we don’t have plans after to enjoy the whole experience again matched with the wine pairing 🙌🏻

Me and a friend came to celebrate both of our birthdays by trying the 5 course taster menu and matching wine pairing. All was absolutely delicious, great service & the cocktails were divine. We were kept waiting for our table for quite a while but we were given the wine flight for free which definitely made us forget about it 😄 Would not hesitate to return, maybe we’ll try the 12 courses next!

Incredible food in a really smart setting, and with great staff. This is the most authentic Japanese food I've had in this country. We had the omakase, and had the pleasure of watching skilled sushi chefs carve and prepare their way through some fantastic quality meats for us. It was a wonderful experience sitting at the counter, and I'd recommend this to all.

Went to MUSU for lunch and had the 5 course tasting menu, £50 per person, and well worth it. Great service from the moment I arrived, was seated in the beautiful waiting area while the table was being prepared and was served with drinks whilst I was waiting. They have a good variety of cocktails and they are incredible. The atmosphere at lunch was relaxed and was easy to hold a conversation. The food was amazing, so fresh and full of flavour, compliments to the chefs. The waiters and waitresses are exceptional, and really add to the whole experience, they are a credit to the restaurant. This is my new favourite Sushi restaurant.

We offer Halal chicken on our menu. If you are wanting to order Halal Beef, please let us know via email on reservations@musumcr.com. We will require at least 72 hrs notice prior to your booking.

Deliveroo UK

Zumuku Sushi Cheadle Hulme

Attended the restaurant on an afternoon on a saturday. The restaurant is a fabulous modern environment, clean well set out. The service here was amazing, the lady owner greeted us with a warm welcome. The food arrived beautifully presented and was fresh and tasty. would definitely recommend and revisit.

Favourite place to eat in Cheadle Hulme! Really fresh sushi, highly recommend the platter if there’s a few of you sharing.

Been here 3 times now (the latest time being this afternoon with my husband for lunch). The staff are always smiling & friendly. Tables clean, tidy, nice decor. Weve tried a few things off their menu and its always been so tasty & full of flavour. Id recommend the katsu noodles with the crispy chicken (my fave)!

Amazing food
Great service, recomend the Hot Sake.
Been a few times, always go back

Had an amazing experience today, lovely food and even lovelier staff. Will definitely be returning ❤️

Zumuku

Zumuku Sushi Wilmslow

I’ve always been a fan of the food here and at all of their venues ever since it started in the fish shop in Didsbury. It’s fresh, tasty, and healthy with a great variety of Asian fusion. The prices are reasonable for the quality you get too.

This review is about the great service received by a member of staff over the phone. I’d placed a wrong order via Deliveroo and they changed it without question with a can do attitude in efficient fashion.

I will continue to bring my custom to this amazing restaurant.

Used to love this place, but they have gone downhill. Food was fresh, but the quality was not to the high standards I would expect from them.

Service was not great. They forgot part of the order, didn’t ask about any dietary requirements, brought the wrong order and then argued back and went only to double check that they did in fact make a mistake. Rolls were poorly rolled, with rice being all over the place.
Cocktails menu was creased and looked like it needs to be reprinted, with food stains over it. Was not a good look.

They have introduced liquid nitrogen or some sort of special effect, but I found that it was just not done right with the server touching the food to ‘make the effect’ happen.

Miso soups arrived luke warm.

Disappointing, as I generally love Zumuku brand and some of their other branches are decent.

Highest star for atmosphere, as they have a roof terrace, they just need to maybe add some decor. Also we were advised not to sit at certain tables as the sofas were dirty..

I accidentally showed up at the wrong time for my order, but the team here went above and beyond to make it happen anyway. The chef worked some real magic to get my food ready, and I’m so grateful for their effort and kindness. Huge thanks as well to the amazing person at the reception—super friendly, understanding, and helpful throughout. Incredible service and great people. Highly recommend this place not just for the food, but for the heart behind it!

We had our server Zen he was very lovely and accommodating to our needs when ordering and serving us.

No explanation needed, just look at those poor roll, ginger was dry like someone forgot to shut the lid and you still give it to customers, two tone wasabi which means it was the same reason with ginger. You’re just not good enough to sell food at this point.

Menagerie

Booked a private drinks area for a 21st celebration as my daughter loves the decor in here (insta opportunities everywhere you look!) For me it was the staff that stood out. Really helpful when dropping off and collecting decorations (they stored it all for the following day) and set up the area beautifully. The bottle neck fireworks are fabulous! One very happy daughter - thank you 🥰

Staff are friendly, nice and so helpful. Food is 4/5 but the entertainment is 10/10. Cocktails are the best part. It's pricey but the atmosphere, entertainment and setting is worth every penny. Perfect for hens/girlie get togethers with loads of insta friendly areas for pictures. Don't worry about the time you book between 7pm to 10.30pm as they spread out the entertainment every half hour, so you'll always get a show.

Loved loved it. If you want to have a nice bottomless brunch with your girls come here. The food was also really nice, most food at bottomless brunch spots is terrible,  this exceeded our expectation.

A stunning venue, with everything pink! I was taken here for my hen do and wedding noticed a few other hen parties there as well. We had afternoon tea,the food was absolutely delicious and there was plenty of tea to drink. The menus for meals looked really nice as well and I would love to see one of their events next time!

Food was amazing tasted great, they threw in a sparkler and a happy birthday dish ( without being asked to ) as my friend was wearing a birthday sash. Food and drink was quickly served too and entertainment was great.

Modern Australian food with Indonesian and Japanese influences

Australasia

Very pretty, very classy venue to have a group dinner or maybe a date night. Has moody warm lighting and if you're lucky you'll get to make a song request to their very talented pianist.

Came here with friends for a birthday and got the set menus.

There's a decent amount of food that comes with the set menus, so come hungry! Clearly high quality and well presented dishes, the Asian element is certainly clear.

Some unconventional ice cream flavours (chilli & lime?), so if you're into trying new things that will be a lot of fun.

Some miscommunication about what menu items were available and substitutions, but the staff were largely accommodating and friendly so everything worked out in the end.

Just remember, empty stomach and full wallet. You'll be all set for a lovely time 😌

We visited Australasia for our anniversary and had the most incredible experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is stunning—chic, warm, and intimate—perfect for a special occasion. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour, and the mocktails were just as creative and delicious.

What really made the evening unforgettable was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about making our night special. They even surprised us with a gorgeous “Happy Anniversary” dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch.

Australasia exceeded all our expectations, and I cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone looking for exceptional food, amazing service, and a beautiful setting. We’ll definitely be back!

Australasia is easily up there as one of the best dining experiences in Manchester, the whole vibe just feels special from the moment you walk in.

The menu is packed with incredible dishes and with Ana looking after us, the whole evening was on another level. She was super helpful, gave amazing recommendations and just made the night flow perfectly. The rest of the team were equally brilliant, attentive, friendly and always there when needed without ever being over the top.

Food-wise, everything we tried was amazing, beautifully presented and full of flavour. You can tell real care goes into every dish.

The decor and atmosphere are stunning too, modern, elegant, but still relaxed enough that you just settle in and enjoy.

Already looking forward to heading back again. Definitely a must-visit in Manchester!

To be honest the food wasn’t great. The bread was nice. I ordered the shrimp and rice as a side and it wasn’t great. Their menu isn’t clear as well. They should have specified the slow cooked ribs comes with mashed potatoes. The menu just says mashed potatoes, my friend ordered a side only for the food to come with ribs, mashed potatoes and rice. The service was very good and the ambience was nice .

Went during the week so it was fairly quiet. The atmosphere was nice very calming. Although the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing, the food was disappointing.

The lamb cutlets and beef were lacking in flavour and smaller than I was expecting. The rice was nice. I do believe this place was disappointing since looking the menu, you would expect something amazing.

Our meat is not halal however we do have plenty of fish and vegetarian options.

JustEat UK

Sakura Japanese Restaurant

Service and atmosphere was great!! The waiter really did go all out for us, and of course the robots were super super fun and rather unique - a novelty. Unfortunately the food is a massive massive let down, a selection of what seems to be cheap quality meats and freezer fritters. The flavour of a lot of the food was not something to write home about. The food didn’t ruin the experience but it left a LOT to be desired. Could be a lot tastier, especially with the fact they have the novelty of the robots. The cakes in the desert bar was scrumptious. The venue is great for kids who are fussy about food as most of it as fried and simple. With select dishes for a more adult palate. I wouldn’t recommend it for a date night.
Notable dishes: anything chicken based was good - especially the Korean mayo chicken bao
Don’t recommend: the soups and noodles weren’t very nice, the oyster dishes were a big no from us
At a price tag of £30 a head, the food could be very much improved! The staff are nice and the robots are cool!

Firstly we were greeted and then taken to our seat and were explained how it works. We visited on Wednesday and it was not too busy. We had to place the order on the tab. You can order 20 dishes per table. Some dishes were tapas size. We were four adults. The best part was the robot coming to serve which had four trays which was an amazing experience. The food for your table would be that lights up in blue. Please be careful not to take others food. There are food order recipts so that helps with which are your dishes if going with larger groups. The desserts were not good at all except one or 2 pastries. Ice cream only vanilla was good. The other flavours were artificial. But must visit as food quality was good n for the robot experience.

Absolutely loved the visit here, me and my friend spent a while trying to figure out where to go to get sushi and are very glad we chose to go here. The whole experience from the lovely staff to the food and even the adorable robots that bring the food to you was outstanding. Can't wait to come back again.

I wouldn’t recommend this place.
Very dirty.

After you order, there’s count down up to 600 minutes.

The food was a joke.

The powder mixed wasabi was dried and it tastes nothing like wasabi.

The food wasn’t fresh, it is dangerous when you eat sea food which isn’t fresh.

The noodle was not edible.

I refused to pay service charge and it left me with 63 pounds something included a bottle of water.

I do not recommend spending this much on restaurant like this.

I would not recommend spending a penny here.

Very disappointed.

Sakura Japanese Restaurant at Cheltenham Hill Retail Park offers an all-you-can-eat experience for around £30, where you can enjoy as many Japanese dishes as you like. One of its standout features is the robotic waiters that deliver your food—a quirky and fun touch that makes the visit memorable.

The service was good, though I found the menu a little limited compared to other all-you-can-eat places. It’s also worth noting that sashimi isn’t included in the main price and comes at an additional charge.

Sakura

KAJI

From the moment you step into Kaji, you’re transported. The decor is stunning — a sensory tunnel of deep reds and lush forest greens that seem to pull you forward through a dreamscape. Tables stretch beneath a canopy of colour and texture, guiding your eyes to the breathtaking floor-to-ceiling mural of an imagined Japanese landscape. It’s a visual feast before the food even arrives.

The Beginning: Promise and Peril

The evening begins with the chef’s selection of sashimi, maki, and nigiri. Presentation-wise, it’s beautiful — until you realise the plate’s design includes a hole in the middle, letting pieces tumble into unnecessary “hot ice.” A visual gimmick that adds nothing (except frustration). If they’re going for theatre, perhaps scent or steam might make it worthwhile.

The sashimi itself is clean, delicate, and well-presented. But the nigiri? A disaster of wasabi proportions. Each piece is pre-laced with so much wasabi it obliterates every subtlety, reducing the experience to a teary endurance test. By the third bite, surrender feels like the only option.

The Middle: Redemption in Bread and Cod

Then — salvation — the milk bread.
Sweet, soft, and heavenly. It’s the kind of bread you want to wrap yourself in. The spiced butter accompaniment hits all the right notes — warm, aromatic, and indulgent. After the rough start, this course brings hope.

The deep-fried oysters, however, feel like they belong to another story — more novelty than nuance.

Next come the blackened cod and yakitori chicken skewers (plus a random bowl of salt and pepper chips in fear we won't be happy going forward - and hungry).
The chicken skewers are fine — smoky and fire-touched — but they’re crying out for a glaze, something sticky and sweet to elevate them.
Then the cod lands, and everything changes.
Perfectly cooked, soft, and buttery, with a miso-caramel ganache that walks the tightrope between savoury and sweet. The charred skin brings texture and depth. It’s divine. Easily the dish of the night.

The Climax: Comfort and Chaos

The beef cheeks arrive next — and they’re stunning. Meltingly tender, rich without being heavy, with miso and tarragon weaving through the jus. The crisp kale adds a salty snap that keeps it from drifting into monotony.

The lamb chops, three of them glistening with a dukkah-style crumb, hover between good and great. The butter-miso reduction beneath them is velvety, laced with a peppery warmth that lingers like a soft ember. Two chops arrive medium, one medium-rare — a small inconsistency in an otherwise strong dish.

The Chaos: Service and Setting

The open kitchen gives diners a front-row seat to the culinary action — but with it comes the chaos. Banging pans, shouting, clattering, staff pulling each other back and forth. It’s less theatre, more backstage brawl.
We’d driven from Edinburgh for this experience, lured by the Taste of Kaji menu proudly advertised online — only to be told on arrival it wasn’t available. Neither was the £70 bottle of wine we’d planned to order. Small oversights that point to a lack of attention to detail, the one thing a place like this can’t afford.

The Denouement: Cocktails & Closure

At least the cocktails offer some solace.
The Yuzu Honey is a delight — bright, floral, and balanced. The Banana Colada is tropical comfort in a glass (if you can overlook the spillage on arrival). But the Kaffir Lime cocktail… bitter, syrupy, and acrid — the palate equivalent of static noise.

Final Thoughts

Kaji is a place of beautiful contrasts — visually stunning, occasionally brilliant, but frequently undone by its own ambition. When it’s good (that cod, that milk bread), it soars. But between the service chaos, misjudged wasabi, and mismatched polish, it’s a rollercoaster of an experience.

My verdict:
Moments of magic lost in the noise of their own performance

Me and my Husband decided to visit this restaurant finally after the revamp from Muzu and we were very impressed with the food! Everything was super fresh and packed with delicious flavour. My Waguy was cooked to perfection, made me very happy. The cocktails and wine were to a high standard which is always a must for me personally. Service was also super friendly and timely could not fault anything. The meal was pricey but good value for money as everything was delicious and high standard. Was perfect for a romantic date night. Me and my husband are definitely looking forward to visiting again soon.

Everything from start to finish was truly phenomenal. We went for the tasting menu and at first I was quite apprehensive because I didn’t think I’d be able to finish the food.

But the portions sizes were fantastic, the spacing between each course were timed to perfection and the time we spent there flew by.

The overall vibe is chilled. Highly recommend

I booked Kaji’s 12-course Chef’s Counter with wine pairing as a birthday gift for my fiancé. The food was outstanding — bold in flavour, beautifully presented, and each dish showed real creativity and finesse. Our server was warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the menu. Her pacing and thoughtful descriptions made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. My rating for service is in no way a reflection of her or the chef’s work — they were excellent.

Unfortunately, the evening got off to a disappointing start. We were told on arrival that the wine pairing wasn’t available, with no prior notice or suggested alternative. It felt like a key part of the experience had been dropped. We spent time choosing a bottle of wine from the menu, only to find it wasn’t available either. By then, I was frustrated and let down, which coloured the beginning of the evening.

It was only my fiancé’s calm reassurance that helped me relax and enjoy what should have felt celebratory. While we were offered an apology, a small gesture — like a complimentary glass of fizz — would’ve softened the disappointment. When a venue describes itself in terms of finesse, those finer details matter.

What a fantastic experience here , the food was amazing. We had the Chateaubriand and it was the best beef I’ve ever tasted
Also the milk bread was brilliant
The cocktails are very tasty and well presented
The staff are super attentive and will definitely be going again
Loved every minute of it

Zen Sushiya, Japanese Restaurant, Manchester禅寿司和食日本料理

The sushi and starters are incredible! The food was delivered so quickly and it was fresh and delicious! However do not get the fries, it is not specified anywhere that the ‘cream cheese’ is just a sweet sugary powder and when we asked to change the chef refused but did try to offer other condiments to make it better.
Overall the sushi is incredible.

What a little gem! I would highly recommend and will definitely go back. We enjoyed so much we ordered seconds! The sushi was delicious, highly recommend the King Prawn Dragon Roll and Katsu Curry. Food came in less than 15 minutes and service was fantastic. Thanks for an amazing meal!

Came here with my girlfriend and had a fantastic experience. The food was outstanding—she's been to Japan and said this was the most authentic Japanese cuisine she's had outside of the country. The staff were incredibly attentive and thoughtful, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Great vibe overall, with a wide selection of sake. The cocktail I had was fresh, well-balanced, and thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for quality Japanese food.

this is absolutely my favourite sushi restaurant in manchester, always my go-to for dates and birthdays. the staff are very friendly, the food is incredible with lots of options, the restaurant is always clean and decorated beautifully. the food comes out quickly and hot. i love it here!! 💓

had the most amazing birthday dinner at Zen Sushiya and genuinely can’t praise it enough. We were seated in the private tatami room, which added such a calm and authentic atmosphere to the evening — it felt like a little escape to Japan.

The food was absolutely incredible. The takoyaki was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavour, and the 25-piece sashimi platter was not only beautifully presented but also so fresh and delicious — ideal for sharing.

What truly set this experience apart, though, was the thoughtful gesture from the staff. They surprised me with a souvenir gift set for my birthday — something no other restaurant has ever done for me. It was so unexpected and kind, and really made the night feel extra special.

From the ambiance to the food to the heartfelt service, Zen Sushiya exceeded all expectations. Can’t wait to come back again!

CHA-OLOGYお茶とお菓子 (RESERVATION ONLY)

I have been following Cha-ology since they first opened and finally made it today! We had the Aki menu and it was amazing. The love and care put into the sweets and tea by the farmers, craftspeople and of course the lovely staff in the tea house is evident.

The space is beautiful and all of the teaware handmade in Japan by different artists. I was in awe of everything!

I want to comment briefly on some of the negative reviews. We attended the silent tea time, and I was a little nervous to not offend or get things wrong. Fortunately we were made so welcome and the whole experience was so relaxing. For me, it was clear that the rules are in place to make sure that the tea is the focus of the experience.

Thank you so much for an incredible experience and for the beautiful keepsake menu and momiji leaves.

I have never had an experience quite like the one I had here. Everything was very special from start to finish.

Visited with a friend who is a regular and wasn't completely sure what to expect but knew I was in for a interesting journey. We had the winter tea course which had a variety of different teas (both hot and cold) and various delightful wagashi.

I can now see why my friend loves this place so much and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. I recommend the seasonal tea courses for the full experience but I don't think you can go wrong with whatever you select.

If you are after a peaceful atmosphere where you enjoy expertly prepared Japanese tea for nearly 2 hours, this is your place.

I have only ordered online and sadly not had the opportunity to visit the physical store - however their online service is impeccable. With matcha in demand it's understandable delays may happen - and this is absolutely communicated to the buyer if this does happen. When the tea arrives it's carefully boxed as they clearly understand the importance of the product arriving in good condition. The notes are always very welcome and I'm happy to give repeat custom to ensure I'm not only getting high quality product, but also supporting a small business!

This experience was amazing!! I booked this as a surprise for my boyfriends birthday and he was so happy. We booked the casual tea time. The staff are lovely and talk through all teas and snacks in such detail, it’s amazing how they remember so much and are so knowledgable. The atmosphere is very calming  and I have never experienced tea quite like it. We left feeling very calm and chilled out and wanting to experience it again! We also bought some chocolate. If you’re thinking of going then you should!! It’s well worth the money and a one-of-a-kind experience. Thank you Cha-ology!! 

Just ‘wow’. What an amazing experience from the moment you walk in; it’s hard to imagine somewhere so peaceful in the city centre.

Our booking was their ‘quiet’ tea service. The servers took our coats and throughly explained all the options available before seating us at one of the tables.

I can’t believe how good the tea was! I enjoy a lot of teas of different varieties at home, but this stuff blew us both away. Some teas like the hojicha had an almost tropical flavour, other teas were savoury in a way I didn’t know tea could be.

The snacks/food were also excellent, and surprisingly filling! Definitely recommend the sakura mochi!

Our service lasted around 2 hours. The server’s timing was excellent even though my wife and I were having two different menu options. Each tea/dish came with a card with some information and a QR link to further reading. Given the small maximum capacity of the establishment, it felt very intimate and personal. Given all of this, I’d say you definitely get your money’s worth.

I couldn’t leave this review without commenting on some of the negative ones I see here; reading some of them initially left us feeling a little nervous about booking. However, our experience could not have been better, the staff were amazingly friendly and clearly very very passionate about the tea and food they serve. We had no issues taking photos of our food and drinks (following their guidance on photos and phone usage).

If you’re feeling nervous about booking like we were, I’d honestly not worry and just book it. Respect their requests (which they politely remind you of upon booking and upon entry) and just enjoy the vibe.

P.S. When we booked online by their site was down, but they responded to our email literally within minutes to help us book.

CHA-OLOGY

Codis kitchen

A nice Asian fusion restaurant in the heart of Prestwich. We came on the recommendation of various different people, and had a bit of a mixed experience.

We booked for 2 but probably didn't need to as it had just opened (at 12) and wasn't very busy. Although I'd probably recommend booking if you're coming at peak time as I think they can get very busy.

We ordered a couple of small plates (salmon karaage, short rib, bang bang cauliflower), a sushi roll (salmon bomb) and inari nigiri (tofu pockets). The small plates were actually very generous portions and we probably ordered too much, but if you're with a larger group then it'll be perfect. The salmon karaage was nice, very crispy but also not overcooked or too oily. The bang bang cauliflower was also crispy and saucy, but I think the cauliflower was a bit overcooked and too mushy. I enjoyed the braised short rib, there was a lot of meat on the bone but it was a little dry. Not too much of a problem because there's a lot of sauce to go with it. Unfortunately the sushi roll was disappointing. The rice was overcooked as was the salmon tempura filling. It tasted a bit like day-old salmon tempura, very chewy. The overall flavour was nice though, and we still ate it all. We wondered if maybe it was because we came at opening time so they had leftover ingredients from the day before to use up.

I'd probably still come again to try their other small plates, but may avoid the sushi next time.

The interior is very nice and welcoming, as are the staff.

Have been here 3 times now in as many months. I go for the poke bowls, so many options to make them varied as you pick the different items you want in them.
They are delicious with very fresh ingredients and are amazing value for money.
The bowls are really filling , especially if have the sticky rice but we couldn’t resist the salt & pepper chips, I can’t not have them even though I know I’m going to be full to the brim !
All the staff are friendly and very welcoming and knowledgable about the menu for if you have any questions.
I’ve been here before with friends but took my husband and he wants to go back , that’s ok with me !!

I've eaten in once and had takeout once from Codi's. Both times the food has exceeded my expectations. Everything is fresh and full of flavour. The only constructive feedback I have is regarding the seats and tables. The seat felt a little small and the tables were difficult to navigate with the seats. But honestly that's nothing really considering how great the food is. I will definitely be going back. I've recommended it to all my friends.

Wow. What a fabulous meal that covered a group of people with an assortment of allergies. Never have been able to go to a restaurant and know that all their food was egg free and nut free. There was a great selection of gluten-free food too. The food was cooked to perfection,  the taste, there aren’t sufficient words to describe how good it was. Would we go again? Absolutely. I have already recommended it to 2 people this morning and it’s only 10am.

Sadly, it's not the best, in my opinion. The downstairs entrance area seemed very chaotic, and the staff rushing to fulfil Deliveroo orders. Got seated, not quite sure how to navigate the menu, which seems confusing, but settled on maki rolls, Korean beef and rice, kaarage chicken, prawn tempura and bang bang cauliflower, Asian slaw. Making rolls were decent, as was the Korean beef and the kaarage chicken. Sadly, tempura batter on the prawns is not proper tempura batter, more like chip shop fish batter, which is what the cauliflower was coated in, too. Tempura batter is light and crispy. Was underwhelmed by both dishes. Bang bang cauliflower was claggy, pieces too thick, and drowned in a strange sauce. Asian slaw was overly salty.
Service was pleasant, decore is a bit questionable, fake plants dangling from the ceiling, chairs quite uncomfortable plastic things.

Codi's kitchen

Peter Street Kitchen

Walking by we just wanted a nice dinner with a good vibe and atmosphere. Warmly greeted with a smile and ushered to our table but before then we looked at the time a daring menu with a fusion of Mexican and Japanese. Let’s give it a whirl.

We are vegetarian and we ordered the vegan menu and had most of the starters which were nice.
The mains we had were the soy chicken and empanadas which again were too small portion but nice (a little expensive )

Positives
- great customer service by matt. He made the night very seamless and super helpful.
- food was interesting and presented nicely
- the overall service was very good

Negatives
- the music was good but too loud
- the toilets are a little further away inside the hotel
- would be good to have slightly bigger tables to allow for all the tapas dishes to be on the table

Went for a birthday celebration and it lived up to the high expectations we had. The service was really quick and the staff were lovely, helpful and very attentive to all of our needs. The food was delicious, and so were the cocktails. We’d recommend the roasted aubergine and duck salad (the edamame were also great and moorish!). Had lots of lovely vegetarian options and a gluten free and vegan menu too. A lovely time and we would recommend and definitely visit again! 😊

It’s hard to not get too over excited but we had a family meal here last night celebrating 2 birthdays - 27th & 25th and we experienced some of the best food I’ve eaten in a while.

The vibe in the place was perfect, nice subtle music in the background with a buzz in the restaurant. I wasn’t sure about Japanese and Mexican mix but wow it worked.

Small plate dining but we were very food satisfied by the end - no one could eat anymore.

The 9 course experience was exceptional and allowed you to try dishes you would never order but were first class.

I have to call out a few - 1. calamari - oh wow - this is simple to cook but so many get it wrong, here it was amazing 2. The stone bass - incredible dish cooked superbly well 3. But the deserts came …. Caused arguments on our table as we couldn’t decided what was nicer the crème brûlée or cheesecake - sensational.

The service was exceptional and we were looked after by Mira who was a buzz of positive energy and a great host. Our table connected with the sommiler who gave us the best Cloudy Bay I’ve had and the general manager was an amazing guy who ensured we were fully looked after all evening.

An absolute first class experience - I could not recommend this place anymore.

Beautiful setting inside the Edwardian Hotel. On arrival staff were very friendly and helpful, we felt very welcome. The food was good, we enjoy small plate sharing so the Japanese Mexican fusion is perfect for us. Very lively atmosphere, was a Friday night so the DJ was on, probably a bit too much like a Nightclub for us but I'm not complaining about that, it's Manchester and full of younger people and that's the vibe they want. All in all very nice place and would  recommend. Thanks to the team for the anniversary dessert too...nice touch  🙏

Great experience - the food was sensational!! Most incredible flavours and a super menu. Staff were wonderful, setting is beautiful and the DJ was awesome. The only thing that could’ve been better was the timing of the food. It comes as it’s ready, but we waited a long time for our last 2 meat plates - so much so that we’d finished everything else for a while by the time they came. Not the end of the world but would’ve been nice to enjoy them with the other plates. Otherwise faultless! Can’t wait to come back!

Sake sushi bolton

For the price point, I think it’s perfectly reasonable. The only area that could be improved is the shop’s ventilation. The staff are friendly, and overall it’s a great spot for a quick sushi run!

Always tasty food and nice to have takeaway. Dinning area is small only a couples of table but if you like sushi, it is a good place to go. Very good Japanese style food at reasonable price.

First time coming here following a sushi craving and this place didn’t disappoint. You could taste that everything was freshly prepared to a great standard. Very flavoursome, good in portion size and value for money.

Top marks for the gyozas and spring rolls.

The owner and staff were super friendly and smiley.

This was a disappointing Japanese food experience. I ordered a 30-piece sushi platter and tuna sashimi for takeaway.

The presentation looked off right away. The rice was wet and mushy, and the ingredients were messy — not what you’d expect from proper Japanese sushi.

As someone from East Asia, I have basic expectations when it comes to Japanese food. Maybe this suits local tastes, but for East Asians, it really misses the mark.

Amazing food, second to none customer service.
Flavour and taste in every single bite 😮‍💨
Prawn katsu curry 10/10
