Sushi Mami in Manchester

The food itself was okay. The ramen wasn't salty and the sashimi was good without any smell. The interior looked more like a comprehensive Asian restaurant than a Japanese restaurant to an Asian. The panda logo itself reminded me of China, and the elephants everywhere reminded me of Thailand. Above all, after we finished eating and paying, we were greeted in Chinese by saying “Xie Xie,” but we are not Chinese. It's a Japanese restaurant, so I'd understand if you spoke in Japanese, but it doesn't feel right. Not all Asians are Chinese.

Great quality food and value for money, just wish we could eat more! Our server Sabri was very attentive and all the staff were very friendly and professional.

Very high quality sushi and as much as you can eat! Love this place and Russell is great!

Loved, the food was very nice and very quick service, Russell was also very kind and helpful. Nice experience overall

The food was excellent. We went for the all you can eat and everything we ordered was lovely, I really recommend the shredded beef. Our waiter Sabri looked after us really well. Well worth a visit if you are in Manchester

Food is good quality, fair service, need to go back there again

Yummy food and great service from Larissa as always I’m from London and I will always come back when I back to Manchester Thanks x

Delicious and fresh food with a superb atmosphere. The choice was amazing and the staff are attentive and friendly.

Seb and larissa were great we had the all you can eat and the food was lovely and served very fast would come back again :)

As a sushi lover, I have to say this was a great cuisine. You order on a tablet (super easy to use), can have lots of meal courses and the food is outstanding. The decorations, the lighting and the attention to detail is so cool. Also it’s at a set price, and you can eat loads. Children under a certain age get discounts. The only thing I would say is that the speed which they deliver could improve, but 4 stars, would recommend!

Had the best afternoon here with a friend, super generous portions and good price. great service from Sabri thank you!!

Great food and great atmosphere, especially great service from Angela, she went above and beyond!

Fantastic experience, food is delicious and really reasonably priced. Angela gave great service, in fact all the staff were fab. Highly recommend

Sushi was lovely, very easy ordering system, great service from Angela.

Had an exceptional time here, amazing food and staff, particularly Angela who was super helpful

Food was delicious, Davina was great! Highly recommend

Wow what a fantastic experience first time at Manchester craving a nice sushi place great options and affordable prices - davina was a good host very friendly

did the all you can eat, waiting time was way too long between dishes about 35minutes before we got the first round, waiters also dropped a plate that smashed everywhere and within the hour another glass. Some food we didn’t get even after enquiring about it numerous times not a good birthday dinner. Food was good though when it eventually came.

Fantastic sushi and service. My waiter Sabri was very helpful in explaining the choices I had and helped me with the food requirements I had. Been here more than once and it’s always the same. Fresh and delicious.

Russel was very helpful and the food was very good. The whole family loved it

Sabri and the team were very attentive and the food was great. Fast service and good quality sushi 🍣

Food was nice and russel was nice👍

Really nice food, the staff is very helpful and the service is very fast

Hands down the best Japanese restaurant in Manchester. The All You Can Eat offer is amazing value when you consider all of the dishes available. Everything was fresh and flavourful, not a single bad dish in the bunch!

Food was amazing all the staff were very attentive. Server was guy called Sabri.

russell was good. food was good

The kids enjoyed the good food! Russel was very nice too!

Food was mainly great but even better service! Russell definitely took care of us even recommended dishes for us to try! Couldn't ask for better server ! Few down sides are charged full price for a 10 yr old when menu says ages 5-10 are cheaper definitely a different price point meal when charged full price for a child. Few of the main dishes didn't have much flavour mainly the pork ramen was very bland extremely disappointed in it.

Amazing service and amazing food , we were served by Russel and Sabri and they made the atmosphere very welcoming. Will definitely be back and recommend to all my friends !!

Very good service with Russel 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It was amazing, the food were fresh with wonderful taste !! Thank you Russel for you kindness and good energy!!!

very good sushi and good service with russel. he is very kind

Horrible service, rude staffssss...food quality decreased, not recommended

We came to celebrate birthday and everything was just perfect. Our server Seb was lovely. Everybody else on shift was as lovely and attentive. They made sure food was alright with us, offered addition stuff. Just perfect evening

A Must-Visit Spot in Manchester! We had an incredible dining experience at Sushi Mami in Manchester! The menu offered an excellent variety of sushi, sashimi, and Japanese fusion dishes. What really made our visit special was the service. Mr. Russel, who took care of our table, was exceptional. If you’re in Manchester and love Japanese cuisine, Sushi Mami is a must.

Fun experience. Fun food. Fun Seb.

Beautiful decoration evoking an authentic Japanese experience. Good range of a la carte options and sushi made in a well prepared and tasted very fresh. Staff friendly and welcoming - thank you Angela!

great place! food yum! Russell was amazing and Seb was a babe too! ❤️

Food was average for the price, many tempura dishes were quite bland. Some orders arrived very late.

Perfect Russel was very goood !!

One Of our servers Russel was super Nice and helpful ! Great place

Super quick and friendly service, food was really nice and I tried a lot of new things as well as some familiar favourites. Russel did a great job at serving us

Jona was a great host good food and atmosphere

Jonah is the guy, boss food boss experience you won’t regret it

Fantastic food and great service. Very welcoming waiters and waitresses. Jonah behind the bar was great.

Amazing food , Russel very very helpful and nice , actually whole team was brilliant. Cocktails and desserts yumm , we will be back 🔥

What a great Restaraunt , great food , great staff ,well recommended .!!

Great food even better service from jonah

We came out for my sister’s 16th and we had the best time!! All staff were wonderful, but a huge shout out to Russell who was so welcoming and friendly, and had so much knowledge about the menu! His recommendations were impeccable (as was all food we had), we thoroughly enjoyed our whole experience!! Thank you so much!

Excellent food, excellent service from Russell and the rest of the team.

Amazing service by Russell he was so nice and gave amazing recommendations to us. The food is amazing and came very quickly. All the staff were very smiley and incredibly polite. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

Angela was fantastic, a great host

Booked buy 1 take 1 offer from the buy 1 get 1 link in the website for a family of 4. Got told on the day as we sat on our table that I did not book for the promotion and the waiter was quite rude in his way of telling me. Checked my email confirmation and found out that there is a small print note to make a booking again if booking for the promotion. Very intentionally misleading I believe as I had initially already booked through the link titled buy 1 get 1. Paid £160 instead of £80. Food quality was average but orders in between took a very long time to come so me and my family did not enjoy the experience at all. Could have easily offered something as a gesture of goodwill rather than rudeness. We will never go back again as it is not worth it at all!

Food was amazing! Russel attended to us excellently! Will be back soon!

This is a wonderful dinner for our Easter celebration !! sabri

We were asked if we had been before and said we had not. The person who seated us explained that we could choose the buffet option or the a al carte option and would be back for our decision. They did not return. We both went to the toilet in the meantime. Both ladies and gents toilets were in a very sorry state. In the ladies one toilet seat was off its hinge, the bin for hand towels was overflowing, the soap dispenser was empty and the entire bathroom was in general in poor condition. I noticed hand sanitiser on the host desk upon our arrival so went to use that after returning from the bathroom and found a member of staff to let them know that both toilets were in need of attention - definitely soap - and that we would like to order. A lovely lady attended to us. We chose the buffet option and were swiftly brought a tablet to order our food from as well as wasabi and pickled sides. Our drinks came pretty much immediately though the food took forever. I understand in places like that it comes as it is prepared however there was an issue with staffing (we overheard a table beside us ask a server about the wait times an hour in to our visit and they were told there were just two people down in the kitchen). Our chicken dish and when the edamame eventually came they were lukewarm when they got to us. We chose not to tell anyone as chances were the next batches would be similar given the lack of staff and we were so hungry we just wolfed the chicken down. I suspect perhaps there was a shortage of servers also because I could see a hot plate from my seat and every few minutes it was full to the brim with dishes the chefs at the back of the restaurant had prepared on the grill. Those dishes remained on the grill for over 10 mins on one occasion. The restaurant itself was unkempt. The floor right beside and behind our table right at the grill had not been swept. There were receipts, used serviettes, food etc all over the floor. We were in the restaurant for about 1.5 hours and that mess was there the whole time. I was served frozen tiramisu. We visited the toilets again before we left and both had handsoap but the ladies was still in poor condition. The bin was overflowing and two of the stalls had no toilet paper. Again, this may have been due to lack of staff. The bill came swiftly however after asking for a card machine we were forgotton about Sony partner needed to go find somebody. Overall I would not recommend this place. For the price the food was mediocre and the atmosphere was dire. There are far better places to go. Sakura buffet, a short journey out in Cheetham Hill, for example, is wonderful.

This place is amazing. The staff were all adorable and super attentive. The food was phenomenal. And the price was mindblowinglyn good. Ordering all you can eat sushi from the comfort of your own table in such a beautiful restaurant. I want to go back again right now!!

Good all you can eat sushi. Great service from Russell and Ben. Cheers

Amazing food and great service from Russel and Bob. Thank you!

Larissa’s service was great and food was delicious

We had the all you can eat buffet and the food was really good. Definitely a place to visit for anyone looking for good food at a reasonable price. The tuna mayo sushi and miso soup were my favourites. The atmosphere was good but the staff was the best part about it, the host was really friendly and helpful. And there was a specific waiter who went above and beyond with the food recommendations and delivered an absolutely outstanding service (such a shame I didn’t get their names). Definitely recommended 10/10

We managed to book a table with the buy one get one free offer so the price was amazing for the amount of food we had. The food was decent, received it all quite quickly after it was ordered. Service was good, especially from Russell he was so lovely!

I was very poorly treated by Lucie as soon as I arrived at the restaurant. Her attitude was rude and unwelcoming — I honestly felt like leaving right away and never coming back. I went with a friend for a casual night out. I understand the place was busy, but telling us to “try booking online” felt disrespectful. While we struggled with the website, we heard another staff member taking a booking over the phone. So, if I call, I get a table, but if I show up, I don’t? After I complained, suddenly they found a table for us. Lucie didn’t explain anything about the menu even though it was our first time there. She was cold and dismissive. Our first dish took 40 minutes to arrive. Larissa was the only good part of the night. She was kind, helpful, checked on our table often, and even apologized for the delay. She explained the menu and the promos clearly — a total contrast to the cold reception we got at the door. The food was good, but I’m only thinking about coming back because of Larissa. If my experience had depended only on Lucie, I’d never return.

When the I went to sushi mami I was hoping for a good meal and it blow my socks off the food was so good and Russel / Filipino guy was very helpful he served us with care and kindness I would love to come again and the chefs did absolutely good Russel and the chefs definitely deserve a raise or something and THE INTERIOR WAS BEAUTIFUL <3 Russel

Amazing service from Sabri! Food was amazing definitely coming back again next time

Had a sushi buffet today (06-04-2025) And we are regulars here. The staff that was really standing out was Russell. He was very attentive, efficient, proactive and had a smiling face throughout our whole whole seating. Thumbs up to him. He deserves to be recognised 👏👏👍. Jo

Rusel from Philippines is very helpful and polite. Only I concern that we have 6 people. Only one order pad for us. Waiting for long times on ordering.

Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 It was like a dream inside Japan and the food blew my socks of and I remembered a guy Russel/ Filipino guy who absolutely did the best service of my life he was careful nice and quick I would come here again chef's and Russel definitely deserved tips <3

The all-you-can-eat restaurant with the best value in Manchester — Jonah is a nice bartender, and we had a good lunch today.

Jonah is nice and we have a nice lunch here

Nice place to dine Buy 1 get 1 promo is worth!

Food was good and the service was alright And russel was such a great waiter he gets 5starts from me would come back again

I saw the picture said for 4-10 years is half price, but in fact the staff told me that 10 years old not included. Just remind anyone who got kids don't be misunderstood by the picture, they charged full price for 10 years old kids

Good place for sushi. The grilled meats are fantastic, and our server Angela was great 👍

Shame they got rid of their half price after 9, food was sub par and way over priced. I would’ve recommended this place 12 months ago but not any more, go else where!! Poor staff, poor food, was too expensive. Hope this helps…

Everything is good here, especially the lady Angela who is so friendly and sweet:)

Considering the price, the food is fine. Russel is great and courteous, but there’s another lady acted snobbishly.

I went for lunch during a buy one get one free promotion. I saw the review had a score of 4.7, so the quality should be good. However, I was disappointed. It's better to go for the freshness. The sashimi was cut as thin as paper, and you can only order 10 items at a time. One piece of sushi counts as one item. The food was slow to be served, taking 15-20 minutes. On the last round, we waited for a full 40 minutes for 3 items to be served, and finally waited for more than 50 minutes and still nothing was served. I paid the bill and left. There won't be a next time.

We were served mainly by Devina. She was fantastic, really professional and good banter. The food is fantastic too. A must try if you like sushi and are in the area!

Jonah was great, service was lovely. Really accommodating for us as we were eating halal.

Jonah and the staff were lovely , food was great! If your Muslim a recommend sweet and sour chicken!!

Jonah was really helpful with the service and the questions and the food was alright

Amazing, Jona is very helpful 👌 👏 we will defo come back ❤️❤️

Russell an absolute superstar, attentive, positive and welcoming. He elevated the whole experience to the roof with his top notch hospitality.

The food was perfect! Shout out to Russel <3

Following the reviews I came here for the first time but it was disappointing. The all you can eat menu was very small, the sashimi so tiny in pcs, they only allow 5 dishes every 8 min, some dishes are just 1 pc. Quality of the food was okay, but whoever rates high probably never tried good quality sushi all you can eat. Staff was nice but overall not recommended. I usually go to the tsuki in Sheffield, have a look at the variety of their all you can menu, this is absolutely tiny with not much options.

Disappointing Experience – Don’t Trust the High Ratings I don’t usually leave reviews, but I felt I had to this time so others don’t end up having their evening ruined like we did. We came expecting a decent meal, but it turned out to be a very poor experience. We started by ordering 10 different items at a time, yet kept receiving the same dishes repeatedly. It honestly felt like we’d walked into a comedy sketch—completely disorganised, and with no sign of any proper management. At one point, we stood around for ten minutes just trying to find someone who could let us pay. We then discovered they have a “spin the wheel” game, but you’re only allowed to participate if you leave a positive review. That explains the inflated ratings, but not the poor food or service. If you’re in the mood for surimi, canned tuna, and the saddest noodles I’ve ever eaten, then this might be the place for you. Otherwise, I’d recommend going elsewhere. We left disappointed, still hungry, and with the feeling we’d been misled. Good job Jonah

Brilliant food and our server Jonah was very good

Quick service, yummy food, thanks Jonah for the cocktails

Amazing wonderful service and wonderful staff Jonah helped so much would reccomend!!!!

Food was good when it arrived. Just let down by the slow food and drink service. Other tables were waiting 50mins for orders. Even the bill never came, got fed up of waiting and went to bar to pay.

Loved the all you can eat concept, not rushed, order when you fancied another course.

larissa was great and polite. i enjoyed my time!

Good food , friendly staff and Davina was si lovely ☺️

Thanks Iarissa for your warm welcoming. :)

Came here for my bday dinner, amazing food and service. Davina did a great job serving us!

Excellent tasty food, friendly service and a lovely atmosphere. We came to celebrate a birthday and had a lovely time. Would recommend 😊

Lovely staff and service. They always go above and beyond. The food is delicious, especially the sushi!

Friendly staff! Good food! Cosy ambience 😊 tasty octopus balls 🎊 Larrisa very thoughtful 😊. Definitely recommend!!!♥️ ♥️ ♥️

I really liked the food! The sashimi of tuna was really fresh and tasted good. Davina was a good server and she actually understood what people want at a restaurant good and fair service with a touch of jokes and small talks.
