MUSU

We were totally spoiled by the food and the staff. All dietary needs catered for with no fuss by the chefs. Great open kitchen. I'd never had a Japanese taster menu before and I was not disappointed. Will definitely visit again.

My husband and I went to Musu on a Thursday night and I have to say it was excellent. The food was incredible, the staff were very attentive and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. Our waitress in particular, a Spanish lady, was very knowledgeable and explained the dishes perfectly. We went for the a la carte menu and had some sashimi before that. On reading the reviews I was expecting to be disappointed or hungry but was far from it. We will definitely be back! Might try the tasting menu next time!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of dining at MUSU, a remarkable fine dining restaurant nestled in the heart of Manchester. From the moment I stepped through the door, I knew I was about to embark on a culinary journey like no other. MUSU exceeded my expectations in every way, leaving me in awe of its impeccable service, exquisite ambiance, and, most importantly, the outstanding 11-course Kaiseki tasting menu.

Let's talk about the food. Each dish presented throughout the evening was a masterpiece in its own right. The skilful execution and attention to detail were evident in every bite. The flavours were harmoniously balanced, showcasing the essence of Japanese cuisine with a contemporary twist. From the delicate cured sashimi to the melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu beef, each course was thoughtfully crafted and left me wanting more.

The 11-course tasting menu at MUSU is a true celebration of culinary artistry. It takes you on a captivating journey through various textures, flavours, and techniques, showcasing the Chef Patron Michael Shaw’s passion and expertise. Every dish was a revelation, showcasing the finest and freshest ingredients with flawless precision. Each course seamlessly transitioned into the next, creating a symphony of flavours.

To complement each course, MUSU's wine pairing was nothing short of perfection. The sommelier's expertise shone through as the hand selected wines effortlessly enhanced the dining experience. The seamless integration of flavours between the food and wine was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to delivering an unforgettable experience.

Beyond the culinary delights, MUSU's sophisticated and elegant ambiance provided the perfect backdrop for an evening of indulgence. The sleek and modern decor, combined with warm and attentive service, created an atmosphere that exhibited both luxury and comfort. The staff's knowledge and passion for the cuisine were evident, as they guided us through each course with grace and enthusiasm.

In conclusion, MUSU is a hidden gem within Manchester's culinary scene, offering an unrivalled dining experience that surpasses all expectations. The 11-course Kaiseki tasting menu is a true work of art, showcasing the culinary mastery of the talented chefs. With impeccable service, a refined ambiance, and an unforgettable wine pairing, MUSU has set the bar incredibly high for fine dining experiences. If you are a lover of exceptional cuisine and seek a memorable evening, MUSU offer’s it all.

I can confidently say that MUSU will be etched in my memory for years to come. It is a testament to the restaurant's commitment to excellence and a testament to the power of a truly remarkable dining experience.

I went for the lunchtime sushi set menu. It was a little quiet so I had the luxury of having a lot of staff serving few customers. Customer service was brilliant. Food astronomically tasty. Dunno why this place doesn't have a Michelin star? Expensive, small portions, but worth it as it's high quality. I'm definitely going again!

Incredible food and service. The staff are really experienced and informed to help with your choices. The sushi is the best I've ever had, including any I've had in London and Singapore. Will be going back for the tasting menu. Yes it is expensive but when you try to the food you will see why, the quality is second to none and better than anywhere else in town.(We eat out twice a week and have done for 5 years so tested a lot of restaurants.) I am sure they will get a Michelin soon.

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.

Ikkan Sushi Manchester

Highly recommended! been living in manchester for more than a year and finally found the most “japanese-original” sushi in Ikkan here! Completely fresh stuff with a decent price!

Fried prawn rolls are the most-buy items for me if I go back again!

Great selection, good prices, fresh tasting better than your boring everyday looking packaged sushi.

Been here regularly since the first day it’s been open. The customer service is amazing. Eddie always throws in a extra sushi because I’ve been that many times lol.

Sushi for takeaway is literally one of my favourites to date in the area, you can even see them making the sushi fresh. The price is reasonable for what you get.

It’s officially my go to when am on my break from the office.

Thank you guys. Keep up the good work.

Was trying it for the first time.  All prepacked sushi are not fresh.  It is slightly better than those in Tesco but I wouldn't pay that much to eat there.  I stayed in Japan for 15 years.

Would not recommend, overpriced food.  rice and fish is not authentic.  Both the temperature and flavor are below average.

Zumuku Sushi Cheadle Hulme

Greeted with a smile and advised to pick any free table we wanted to sit. Saturday now has the lunch menu 12-5 that you get a starter and main for £12.95.

Really good options, food was hot and fresh with it all coming out in good time. Fantastic place to eat and very good service, highly recommended!

Wow, what a great place.
The presentation is absolutely incredible.
Very friendly and fantastic food.
100% will be back.

Had a really fantastic meal. Every bite was delicious. The service was fantastic. I was eating alone and they went out of their way to adapt the menu for one. Relaxing atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend and go back again and again. Thank you, Zumuku, for a lovely evening.

Came first time for lunch and it didn’t disappoint. Sushi was fresh and perfect. Portion sizes just right and spot on. Food bought out to us by the chef himself. I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner. 5 star place.

We ate in here on. Wednesday. While it was very quiet, the food did not disappoint.
Sushi was excellent, as were the chicken wings
I would definitely return

Zumuku

Zumuku Sushi

This is not a typical Japanese restaurant. The interior design is fusion, so are the meals. They gave another amazing experience. The staff were all nice, polite and responsive. We had a joyful lunch hour.

Meal with both sets of parents. Was a very enjoyable meal, food was well presented.

Note: we went during the cold spell and sat by a window and it was keep your jacket on cold.

Came here on my own. Only because I was staying in a nearby hotel. For business. Anyway, I cancelled the last time I was in Wilmslow so I decided to visit without booking. Restaurant is nice. Greeted by lovely staff shown to my table on the terrace. The decor caught my eye. Anyway, I ordered vegetable Gyōza and Chilli Chicken Udon. The gyōza was nice. The chicken Udon was also fairly tasty. I did ask the staff how spicy it was and they left the chillis in a side bowl for me. Very considerate. It wasnt the best Japanese that I've tried but it certainly wasn't far off. Friendly staff also.

We go for set lunch for 2 £13.95 excluding drinks per person, food is good and friendly stuff. Will definitely come back.

Great food with reasonable prices, plus it's halal too. Also staff are very kind and helpful

Menagerie Restaurant & Bar

Honestly my fave place, great food, great atmosphere, entertainment and service. Love every single starter - my friends call it my second home 😂 I’ve tried to provide as many food pics as possible, can’t say a single bad word 😊

Lovely place, a bit decadent, just what you need sometimes. Friendly helpful staff and great food.

We had dinner here and decide on small plates to share. Everything we had was delicious and the staff were fantastic. Entertainment while we ate was brilliant too. Great atmosphere with upbeat music playing in-between the girls coming out. Great venue.

This is a place for insta crazy people who want amazing pics. No halal food here so had to opt for veg and fish dishes. The customer service is amazing. Loved the ambience.

We went there for a Christmas party and the food was amazing! Unfortunately there were no performances but it was a Wednesday so probably that’s why!
Staff was super attentive and we loved the surprise shots in small bathtubs 🛁

Modern Australian food with Indonesian and Japanese influences

Australasia

Another fusion food restaurant, fantastic fixtures and fittings but lacking that personal touch. The extra cost is lost for the feeling of feeding the money train. Use to be great now it’s just average but worth a try if you haven’t been I guess

Such a beautiful restaurant, great food, drinks and atmosphere. All the staff as lovely and very attentive to their customers, perfect location for a lovely date night or girls lunch. Definitely in the top 5 restaurants to visit in Manchester ☺️

Sushi and prawn tempura were the real winners - lamb chops were extremely fatty and chewy, very unpleasant way to end the meal!

Drinks were neither here nor there, very run of the mill - expected a lot more for a restaurant of this calibre and the price you pay!

Aesthetics are incredible here and the vibe was vibrant, airy and upbeat. Would I visit again? I’m not sure.

Amazing night. Top quality food, delicious cocktails and all very well presented. Even then I have to say the best thing about it was the service. My man Kane couldn't have hosted us better. Proper sound guy, and went out his way to make our night more enjoyable. Will be back! Kane for employee of the month !

Modern Australian/Asian cuisine. Taster menu offers best way to try various dishes. Staff informative and helpful, cocktails a little expensive but worth it for a special occasion.

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

Sakura Japanese Restaurant

Was well above expectations but in the kindest way. Was given a tablet to order unlimited amounts of delicious sushi and other dishes. Usually expect 'all you can eat' to be at a certain standard that we all love but this was much better than that. Me and Mrs have agreed to get in monthly :) couldn't recommend enough, especially if your a sushi novice and want to try different things

Absolutely love this place! 8 of us dined at the end of September and wow! Service was great. Food is amazing. If I could, I'd be here every day. Having no tempura prawn was a bit of a let down (my fave after Salmon Nigiri) but things happen!
Highly recommend. Will definitely be returning soon!

The ambiance and setting were really lovely. I would advise only going here if you know your way around Japanese cuisine and you have a big appetite! There are definitely better Japanese restaurants you can visit around Manchester that will not cost you as much (unless you can make it the whole five rounds- nine of us only made it to max round 3 each with food to spare). The food wasn't as good as other (cheaper) places I've been to. Overall, it wasn't outstanding. It wasn't extremely terrible. It was average.

Free desserts are definitely a plus, though!

Very good and fresh food, ordering via tablet is both fun and easy. Service polite, fast. Staff friendly and professional. All in all a great experience 👍

Went here with family and the food was really good. The service was very friendly and the atmosphere very comfortable. The decor was very pretty.
The sushi was tasty, the tempura items were fresh and crispy and light, the prawn and lychee was a big hit with all of us! The stir fried noodles were very aromatic and delicious. The lemon cheesecake was delicious.
The service was fast, the food was great and I would highly recommend this place. Cannot wait to go again! If only they would open one in Birmingham, I would love to go more often! :)

Rolled | Aussie-Style Sushi (Manchester Arndale)

Yummy yummy yummyyy I miss being able to pick up GOOD sushi on the go (I’m from NZ hehe) and Rolled delivers 🤤🍣 so good and so fresh

I always come to these guys, not even hungry but I have to go, the sushi is phenomenal and I always enjoy it, basically tears in my eyes every time I have the sushi because it’s so good, also Blaz at the Arndale stand was amazing and so lovely, the staff are always great and so lovely, makes me wish I was Australian 😝

Best sushi in the uk! I love the Bondi roll, you can’t get it anywhere else! Goes really well with the wasabi mayo which is new 🤤

Always lovely service! Had a great recommendation from a member of staff on the 10th of May 2025 at Manchester Arndale. I wish you had more choice of sushi rolls and more complex ingredients (having 2-3 types of sea products in one sushi roll and maybe Philadelphia cheese in there which is my favourite)…

Great variety of sushi. It feels like a healthy snack, or meal if getting multiple. The salmon and avocado is great. The rolls are nicely done. The staff are always great at explaining what the different sushi rolls are like.

Rolled

Wanago Cafe , Restaurant & sushi Bar

Absolutely fantastic place to come for food. We came here on a weekend and plenty of space for us. Service was very friendly even recommend certain dishes for us. The food was great too. We got a few mains and starters and all was perfect, freshly cooked and full of flavour. I'll definitely be back here and recommend others too.

Amazing food, visit regularly and also get home delivery, staff are so accommodating and lovely. Won't stop coming back for our weekly sushi visits☺️.

Absolutely fantastic meal for my birthday. Rjay's service was incredible, really took the time to know my tastes then prepared cocktails and sushi to match. The chefs platter is fantastic, would definitely suggest this to anyone wanting to tey something different while also having their favourites. As it was my birthday Rjay and the staff made it extra special and really went out of their way to make sure I had a fabulous night. Highly recommend to anyone looking to try something new or seek comforts of your favourite dishes done right.

Really great service and friendly staff members. Food was unreal, we only ordered sushi but would love to explore the rest of the menu. Great atmosphere, and nice vibe.

A completely fantastic meal made with care and attention by the sushi chef Hamza (I think, I am sorry if that’s wrong). I can’t remember the last time someone put such effort into making and presenting a meal it was a real honour to receive such food. I can’t tell you how good it was, how amazing the service was . Totally unexpected and it made my day. A real gem of a restaurant Thank You !
