Musu in Manchester

Had a lovely time here. We booked the 8 course tasting menu which was a perfect amount, though will definitely be back to try the 12 course. The sushi was excellent and the beef dish was exceptional. The service was without fault, we were made to feel well looked after right from the start. Front of house was really welcoming, the sommelier knew his stuff and the waiting staff gave good descriptions of the food. The staff did a fantastic job of acknowledging our special occasion (we were celebrating as we just got married) and it really set the good mood for the whole meal. We have a couple of fabulous cocktails in the bar area to finish. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

The best sushi I have ever eaten, in a stunning venue. The wagyu and prawn nigiri are incredible. The dishes were accompanied by delicious cocktails. The staff were very friendly. Love the large digital screens!

Visited for a five course lunch. Managed to find a 30% off in June voucher code, which made the cost £35 instead of £50PH. The food was excellent, very tasty, just not much of it. That said, felt that it was good value for money with the discount. Service was a bit slow, especially drinks, but the waitress was lovely. Would like to go back and try the 12 course at night as I suspect the restaurant looks even more effective at night. Would recommend, especially with the discount this month.

We had a most enjoyable evening. From start to finish the service and the food were outstanding. It was exciting to see Michael Shaw and his team preparing the food. Each action completed in a calm and precise way. The dishes looked beautiful and the flavours were exquisite. Top notch quality on each dish. The wine pairing was both value and quality. The wines did compliment each of the 12 dishes. Remi gave us enough information without bombarding us with too many facts, good man. The ambience/setting is very smart and comfortable. Back to the food, we will go back to eat there again, it was really great. Why they do not already have at least one Michelin star is beyond us. This was the best food we have ever had, superb!

Booked here for a family which included kids 14,12&10.. felt this was ambitious considering the type of restaurant. Couldn’t be more pleased with our experience. The kids loved the attention and engagement of the staff who were lovely, welcoming and explained everything. The food was terrific and of the highest quality. Great surrounds, awesome food and highly recommended experience. Would recommend anyone visit MUSU

8 course tasting menu with wine pairing absolutely faultless on all counts, food was stunning with the wines beautifully matched, service was excellent with a knowledgeable sommelier. Would definitely return.

Sensational. Amazing culinary experience with immaculate service. A no fault evening and highly recommend if a little expensive so a special occasion restaurant

The other night I was sensorially pampered by Chef Andre Aguiar 👨‍🍳🇧🇷 over an unforgettable delicious 18-course Omakase 🍣🇯🇵 at MUSU, Pep Guardiola's 🔝 🇪🇸 favourite place in Manchester 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌟⚽🤍🩵 #Omakase #MasterChef #gourmet

Obscene price for very little food - left hungry. Terrible atmosphere in bar as was so empty so not even worth going to people watch or have them see u spend £££…no one there!!! Sushi & saki was outstanding tho - but NOT worth even half of what they charge!!!

We opted for the 12 course tasting menu that didn’t disappoint,everything was outstanding.Amazing fresh food,great atmosphere and outstanding service.My new favourite restaurant in Manchester.

Went for the live Tuna Cutting Experience which was absolutely fantastic. The chefs were extremely knowledgeable and the butchery of the fish was amazing to watch. Quite difficult to get a good view of the fish as there was a lot of people crowded round a small area. Would recommend - very different thing to do!

Have dined at Musu a few times now , if I could I’d dine there every week , it’s just the most delicious food . Has a great atmosphere, fabulous professional service and the most amazing dining experience. It’s all of a very high standard and I think worthy of a Michelin star. It’s obvious the owner has gone to great expense and effort to make this a destination restaurant and one of Manchester’s top restaurants. The sommelier’s are outstanding, really take the time to explain and recommend a great wine . Musu has a wonderful Champagne and wine list . There is a nice bar area for pre dinner drinks . All the girls that work there are especially nice Freya who organised my bookings and Abbey that looked after me most of the evening made my night especially nice . I really recommend this restaurant , I look forward to future dining and special event evenings . I particularly enjoyed the French/Japanese tasting menu evening they had back in late December .

Love Japanese food and I have been wanting to try Musu for a while. We decided to go there for lunch and opted for the 8 courses tasting menu. Courteous and knowledgeable staff, service is excellent and not intrusive at all. The place is really beautiful and we really loved the vibe of the place. The cocktails were beautiful and tasted incredible. In terms of food: all 8 courses and amuse bouches were absolutely fantastic in terms of presentation and more importantly in terms of taste. The Sashimi, Nigiri ( most incredible Nigiri I have tasted in the UK), scallop, yakitori chicken, duck and lemonade desert were stand out. Will definitely visit again for sushi and very likely the 12 course menu. Believe they are doing a Tuna event in May as well which I will likely attend if I’m free.

Excellent 12 course tasting menu. Variety was brilliant and the restaurant itself has a lovely layout and the atmosphere was vibrant and well balanced. Celebrated a birthday here, table of 2 and the staff were amazing throughout, well informed, polite and attentive but not intrusive and I can’t fault the place. A memorial birthday meal, thank you!

We booked for the tasting menu and were really looking forward to the experience. A week or so later we received an email from the restaurant saying it was now booked for a "private event" on the evening we'd reserved, asking us to rebook a different date and offering a complimentary drink on the new date as a goodwill gesture. I replied straight away - no response. Followed up a few days later - no response. And again a few days later - no response. There's plenty of other great places around that don't cancel your booking and do respond to customer requests - go there instead!

Absolutely amazing dinner. We had the tasting menu and it was worth every penny. The flavours were like fireworks, a total explosion of flavours! The staff were amazing and being able to see the chefs at work was incredible. The calmness was infectious. Everything was fantastic. We have been to Japan many times and this food was on a par with anything we have eaten there!

The restaurant is very stylish but there is care and talent that goes into the food, wine and drinks which exceeds expectations. Really is as good as anywhere I’ve had in the UK. Outstanding sushi, the tuna nagiri selection is exceptional as is the tempura. They care about your experience. I can only imagine the dense population of good restaurants mean it’s difficult to get Michelin recognition but it really is up there

We went for lunch and the food was amazing. The portions were very small but tasted exquisite. The restaurant was modern and immaculate throughout and you were able to see the food being prepared. The service was excellent and the waiter explained all the courses to ensure we understood what we were eating. Would definitely go back a great experience. .

What a lovely late lunch we had. My friend and I came and tried the three course sushi tasting menu, which was an okay amount of food. Each course came with a very well paired glass of wine, and our sommelier knew an impressive amount about each of the wines. We were incredibly well looked after and it was a rare gem of an experience. We booked again on our way out and will be regulars here. Keep it up guys.

Second visit and not disappointed. The food is exceptional and the cooking , or I should say preparing is top rate Had the al a carte this time and it was exceptional. Tuna Tartare was the best I have ever eaten, beautiful. Chicken Yakatori was divine. The mains and puddings couldn’t be faulted. Truly excellent food. It’s not cheap but you pay for the quality of ingredients, the skills of the chefs and the impeccable service. One of the best restaurants in Manchester.
