Very sorry that Mag has retired. But not to despair. It's replacement in the shape of Nishi Sushi is at leasst as good. Nishi Sushi is more too than just a great place for sushi. A wide range of delicious starters and mains options besides sushi. Veggies well-catered for.

Its taken a while. We always intended to visit when Mags operated in the centre of Preston. If you love fresh food cooked with love and served with a smile, this is a hidden gem. Forget your middle of the road generic restaurants and support a local independent business. We called in on the spur of the moment to grab some lunch to take away. Half an avocado roll, half a prawn tempura roll (thats about 10 large pieces of sushi in total) and a beef ramen to share. It was more than enough food. The added bonus was the huge smile on our faces when we had finished. Total price was £15 I would recommend ordering the day before. More if you want fresh fish in any of the dishes. I promise its worth it. The cafe is small (and it is just a cafe). Probably 4 tables of 4. The only downside is that Mags shuts at 18.00. Not ideal if you want to eat fresh Japanese for your evening meal but totally understandable as this is a lifestyle business.

The food is delicious and authentic, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The only issue I can see with this place is that it's so quiet - there's not enough people here to enjoy the experience of dining here! I can imagine that this may be due to the pandemic, but if you're out and about feeling peckish this place is definitely a must!

Mag is very helpful and will answer all queries about the food. She'll try to cater for particular variations to the meals offered if it's possible to do so. Quick, efficient service and the food is delicious. Great veggie offering too.

After reading good reviews of this place I paid it a visit yesterday and what an absolute gem of a place. The food is superb and all freshly cooked. I had Pork Goyosos for starters which were very good, and a superbly fresh Pork Donbury for mains. Such a reasonable price for an excellent meal. Only small inside, 7 tables, but most of her trade is takeaways. Only 50p for a can of diet coke. Tastes like Wagamama used to when it first set up before it was taken over and became average and at a fraction of the price. Pay a visit you will be glad you did.

I had chicken katsu which was simply divine, ny partner had a chicken rice dish which I forget it's name, but was also very nice. Very filling, very happy, we will be back, and I need to try your Saturday sushi 🍣

I tend not to leave reviews on here but this place is special, legitimately the best food I've eaten in a restaurant in Chorley and as good as pretty much anywhere I've been in Manchester etc. Don't eat food made by people who don't care about what they're making - food is an art and Mag cares. Meal was £29 for 2 of us including 2 half sushi rolls, two large and filling soups, and 3 drinks and was worth every penny! Casual dining, clean, neat, and as charming as it gets! Thank you

I’ve been here a number of times and have had a number of different meals - all have been exceptional. The sushi is delicious and the hot meals are all amazing, we’ve eaten the chicken teriyaki udon, ramen and vermicelli noodles. Portions always leave us full and the menu is extensive with good prices to eat-in or takeaway. Lovely cafe and will return soon. Most importantly, Mags is an amazing hostess and goes to lengths to ensure you have a great time, she completes the experience. 10/10

Took my 12 year old for his first Japanese meal at the wonderful Mags. This isn’t ‘just’ a cafe, this is a little special hub where you can get the healthiest freshest tastiest Japanese meal at any time of the day through to early evening. We went at tea time , straight after work. In Mags little, but perfectly functional cafe 3 others were being served. The menu was spot on particularly if you’d never tried Japanese cuisine or simply wanted the freshness of good honest food. We had starters of vegetable gyoza and aubergine in teriyaki sauce followed by king prawn tempura donburi and chicken katsu curry. Delicious, really delicious. Washed down with a pear tea and a hot citrus yuzu drink. Whilst the seating area is that of a cafe the food is certainly that which you would expect served up in ‘fancy’ restaurant. Thank you Mags, it was excellent!

Excellent value, very tasty, been a few times now. Japanese chef, so I assume its authentic. I'd recommend the Udon noodles rather than the normal ones. Only drawback is they close about 6.30pm, but still worth 5/5.

I brought my kids here for lunch post uniform shopping in the school holidays. The place was very quiet but I really can't see why. My reluctant fussy eater tried the chicken katsu curry as she'd had it elsewhere and my eat-everything if it stays still long enough eater ordered Tempura Squid Ten Don. I had the same but prawns instead.

We visited on a Friday tea time. Mags was really busy and on her own.....but she was amazing and very caring and attentive. Her food was so flavoursome and fresh and her green tea is very authentic and strong. We felt like we had done well on saving the air fair to Japan as it was a real experience and saved all the fuss of packing and customs....seriously though this lady deserves to do well she is so hard working and her cafe is excellent...well done Mags xx

You don't really expect to find a Japanese cafe five minutes from the centre of Chorley (just walk down Pall Mall and it's on your right). It's very cosy with room for about 15-20 customers. We decided to share two starters and one main. We chose pork gyoza (4), dumplings, with a salad garnish and soy sauce and king prawn tempura (3) with a garnish and sweet chilli sauce. Our main course, thick Udon noodles stir-fried with chicken in a delicious teriyaki sauce, was excellent. Everything was well presented; it all tasted fresh and home-made. Quality rather than quantity. Together with a coke and a mug of jasmine tea, it all came to a reasonable £17. Recommended!

Just noticed this place and it's definitely one of a kind for Chorley! Margaret was really friendly and makes all of the food herself to the highest quality and attention to detail. She's cooked Japanese food for years in a place in Preston and recently came back from a month long trip to Japan. Her passion for all things Japanese is very evident in this place! It's difficult to make Japanese food on a small scale as the ingredients are costly and not always available in a small town. But she manages it! I had the takoyaki, which had a perfect crisp texture and big, eye-catching bonito flakes. And the duck ramen, which had perfectly cooked duck, a selection of healthy vegetables and noodles with the perfect chew! Margaret can only make sushi when someone puts in a larger order in advance, but I got lucky today as someone had an order for tomorrow, so I got to buy a load to take home. Beautiful and generous amount of fish. The picture speaks for itself. I wish I could give this lady more than 5/5 for all of her hard work. Please let the rest of Chorley know she's here! Spread the word and let's have more variety in our town!

This is the new home of our favourite Sushi Chef who owned the sorely missed NISHI SUSHI CAFE in Chorley, which served the best Sushi Ever! Wahkil or better known to his regulars as Nishi, demonstrates his passion for incredible Sushi by using only the finest ingredients, he honestly creates hands down the nicest sushi, and we as a family have taken the opportunity to enjoy Sushi at every sushi restaurant we’ve spotted along our travels, as true lovers of sushi. Nishi remains the bar to beat when it comes to dining out at other sushi restaurants. Tonight we as a family visited NISHI SUSHI RESTAURANT, traveling purposely from chorley to Stetford for the third time since his relocation, we left feeling very happy will full bellies and happy hearts. Such a lovely man and genuinely hope his relocation to Stretford is a successful one amd that locals to Stretford appreciate what a gem they’ve adopted! If you’ve not tried Nishi sushi yet? I implore you to book in and I promise you great food, and a pleasant experience meeting the man himself and his team, please do say Hi from me Kim from Chorley if you read this and you do go, tell him we need Nishi Sushi back in Chorley, but until we tempt him back to Chorley we will continue to travel to visit and support this great chef! Also as a footnote, this is also a really good value sushi restaurant compared to other sushi restaurants you won’t leave hungry with empty pockets. You might end up taking some home though as you’ll probably want to try everything on the menu
