Halal Reviews for 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.
