Unagi in Salford

Super friendly staff and nice mood lighting inside the restaurant with nice Japanese food and drinks available.

Cocktails were good and it’s a nice place, the food was average

I had to ask them to redo my ramen because the noodles were clumped. They gave me a new one that still has clumped noodles.

Had the freshest Seabass Nigiri I’ve ever had. Food was really fresh, great service. We went just before the pre-theatre rush and so it was a little quiet. But the food is well worth heading over for a meal.

Fantastic service today. I booked table for 10 with 2 kids and we were all looked after. Thanks to Teni 👍🏽…..who gave us his full attention!! ☺️

Fast, fresh and filling. Highly recommended.

Amazing sushi with superb quality…had a lovely lunch ..would love to thank for the excellent customer service and the friendly smile. weather was miserable but the food cheers the day up!

Nothing could of made it better ! Exceptional service! I don’t know the gentleman’s name who served us but he was so lovely and kept checking on us and made us feel looked after and welcome. My son really enjoyed his birthday and that’s thanks to him for going the extra mile! The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was really warm and cosey. Will definately come back ! Thankyou :)

Restaurant looked really cool inside. Food tasted good but was a little bit cold and I did wait 20 minutes before receiving my food after my friend already ate theirs. Harriet was really lovely and friendly though, making sure we had everything we needed and also checking in on the food as I was waiting - really good service :) Ordered chicken karaage ramen and would come back again to try the sushi

Amazing place! I have never tried such fresh sushi rolls in England before. Truly recommend, especially, sushi rolls, called, Salmon.

Visited a restaurant like this for first time and thanks to the waitress, TYRA, we had one of the best meals we have ever had. TYRA took the time to explain all the items on the menu and we cannot speak highly enough of her & without her help, we would not have eaten there. 10/10 for the restaurant & 11/10 for TYRA!

Excellent and pleasant service. Tasty, well presented food. Everywhere is clean and new.

We tried the Chicken katsu roll uramaki, it is so good , just amazing 9/10 And also tried the chicken chilli udon, it was alright 6.75/10 .. I would definitely go back for the uramaki 🙂 Chicken is halal ☺️ and they served halal soya sauce also without even asking for it. Service is top notch

I went for dinner with friends on a friday night, we hadn’t booked so we had a drink at the bar whilst we waited a short while and then they managed to get us a lovely booth table. I ordered the mango spicy margaritas which I didn’t expect to be a frozen cocktail but it was so delicious! I ordered the tofu yakisoba and some salt and pepper chips, my friends ordered ramens and sides of gyozas and horomaki. The sushi was so fresh, the gyozas were perfectly crispy and so were the chips. My yakisoba was so good and the perfect portion. The food did take a while due to a printing error - this did not ruin our experience as the staff were quick to notice and let us know, they even got us some drinks on the house which was a lovely and well appreciated gesture. we ordered the Tokyo ice tea which was not too strong and the perfect level of sweet. We didn’t see the dessert menu as we were truly full but I will return soon for more !

Really tasty vegan options. The BEST Bang Bang Cauliflower I've ever had. The Sushi was super pretty, really good flavour. The wasabi paste was 👌🏼 Service was friendly and attentive. We had both Tofu Chilli Udon and Tofu Yakisoba, both lush, but Yakisoba was the winner.

Last visted September 2024. I was surprised to see this place replace The Lime bar. Decides to give it a go. Solo dining is fine here. Sat at the square bar surrounding the sushi chef. Service was good (Sunday evening) and so was the food. Freshly main and very presented. As a local, I have been here a few times. Will update the pics every time.

Vicki provided us with excellent service and my family and I were very impressed with the Halal offering available- we’d love to come here again as a family and Vicki’s ability to explain the items on the menu and general humour made the evening memorable!

This is the second time going here in the past few weeks. Fantastic noodles annd curry dishes and the sushi is amazing - wish they did a mixed platter though. great cocktails too . The service by Vicky was so a tentative and friendly and with a smile. She really made the experience a great one. Thank you

I have eaten at all the Unagi restaurants, their Sushi is unmatched! Absolutely delicious! When the new venue opened (took over Lime bar - Although they have been serving in there for a number of years now) with it being opposite my partners apartment, also offering 50% off selected items, it was a must! We ordered way too much food, as usual! Enjoyed every bit of it, our sever ‘Stephen’ was great, new to the team, but we will be back for him and the Sushi! Well done Unagi - Absolutely owning the Sushi game in Manchester 🍱🍣

Restaurant attached to the salford quays outlet shopping mall on the outside. Seatings both indoors and outdoors. quite large, so a lot of seatings indoors. Indoor seatings include normal tables and at the sushi bar (in front of the place where the staff make sushi). Nice modern interior, but music was a tiny bit too loud to hear each other. Not massively, but if you're with someone who talks quite quietly, then you'll find it difficult to hear them. Ordered a prawn chilli udon, and it was quite nice. A lot of sauce and was decently spicy - gives you a bit of a kick. Portion size seemed a little small for the udon given the price, but if you have a small appetite, then it's fine or orders some sides. The katsu curry portion size seems a bit bigger.

All staff were so friendly & provided great service. The atmosphere was fab & the food was 11/10, as always. The new interior looks SO great & makes it more of an elevated experience, have recommend to all friends and family!

Absolutely fantastic place to eat! The food was delicious!

First time back since the upgrade from the Lime. Spot on. Food excellent and staff as friendly as ever.

We waited 10mins to get someones attention to order our food, and another 10ish minutes to pay the bill. Customer service wise, was a bit disappointed. We also mentioned about a nut allergy and felt this wasn't taken seriously, as nobody came back to us to confirm that the dish was safe to eat. The food was okay, not amazing and wouldn't pay the original price for it. The vibe in the place overall was okay, the staff had a big team meeting during our meal and this was quite loud and distracting in the middle of the floor. Quite loud music too to keep in mind.

Morgan the waitress was excellent, didn’t have to ask she just did it ! Read the situation and acted appropriately! Spot on difficult to find such quality , friendly service

Visited place on Sunday and has been informed that part of menu is half price, then when ordering food situation changed. Also watch out when paying for waitress adding 10%optional service as she never asked. Food good. Chairs not comfortable. Music at the background not matching the place. Definitely not gonna visit again.

We visited at Salford Keys for the first time very recently. Didn’t like our initial waiter there was a hint of sarcasm and we didn’t feel particularly welcome. Food was okay. The selection of saki wasn’t particularly great. The only saving grace is that the manager is very helpful and correcting an issue on our Bill.

I had an amazing lunch! I ordered the Chicken Karaage Ramen and Pulled Pork Bao Buns and both were really great. I didn’t expect the bao buns to be that big, so I was pleasantly surprised. Honestly had a hard time finishing everything by myself, which is good—it meant the servings were more than enough. The servers were all nice, too! (There were three: one who took and brought my order, one who provided the table setting, and another who got my payment.) I didn’t have any expectations coming in but I can definitely say I’ll eat here again! Maybe next time I’ll order the bao buns again and then try the sushi.

Food was really good especially the beef taco. Jordon and Adela gave amazing service and nothing was too much.

Excellent choice of vegan dishes and excellent service and atmosphere. We recommend the tofu Thai green curry and the crispy chicken bao bun.

Went for lunch and it was so nice! Great service, we sat at the sushi bar and watched the sushi chefs cut and create some amazing dishes. Learnt a thing or two as well, will definitely be back & recommending to our friends.

I went last night with a friend for the first time. I very very rarely leave negative reviews because I know how hard it is working in customer service (I have for almost ten years now) but with being such a new place I feel like the feedback is hopefully helpful. Overall is was a really disappointing experience. We ordered three mains and three Street food (the wings and chips we took as takeaway for my partner). The gyoza came cold, we asked the server if it was supposed to be cold (I know some Asian dishes are supposed to be was I was just checking) and he said no and took it back to the kitchen. A new plate was brought out about five minutes later and the gyoza were scaldingly hot, I actually have a very bad burn on my tongue that's still bothering me today. It felt a little passive aggressive from the chefs as none of the other food came out that hot, it was all edible temperature. We were then reassured it would be taken off the bill and it wasn't. I'd had a drink or two at that point so I didn't think to double check but looking at the bill now, we still paid for it even after we were told we wouldn't be. After I got home, I was up the majority of the night with an incredibly upset stomach. I have no intolerances or allergies so it was just down to the food itself that made me unwell. I had quiet a few chicken plates so I'm concerned it was something up with them, and considering it's a place that also serve raw fish I'm not incredibly hesitant to eat there again if the cooked chicken was what made me sick. Our server was amazing overall, she wasn't involved in the gyoza conversation as that was a guy running the food who dealt with that for us, I didn't catch her name but she had a pretty yellow bow in her hair. Overall the staff were fine, besides the gyoza not being taken off and the atmosphere of the restaurant was decent. The food was just a massive let down. I won't be returning and wouldn't reccomend it if asked how it was.

Really great food, everything was perfect. Absolutely lovely staff too, we was served by a gentleman named Cameron and he was absolutely amazing, so attentive, polite and kind. Will be definitely coming back!!

Food is tasty and worth the half price offer. But the overall vibe is a bit odd.

Amazing food and service - thank you to Morgan who was brilliant. The food, atmosphere and quality was just amazing

I absolutely loved my time at the Unagi sushi bar. I heard about the opening through their account on instagram. I had this sever called Tyra. She’s was so lovely and polite it just made our experience so lovely. The omakase platter was absolutely gorgeous very well presented, the quality was so amazing! You could tell it was fresh fish! My compliments to the sushi team. I will be coming back for more!!

Beautiful food & super personable service

Let me just go straight to the point: Food taste in my opinion is considerably ok to me. And the food presentation is also great. It's just the Beed Teriyaki, in my opinion the beef slice is so less. And the rice also in my experience when i eat there can be more improve. In terms of experience, vibes, and services... I don't have any complaints, because i think it is already great enough.

I visited unagi for the first time with a friend, I was not only impressed with the wide selection of food, but also the impeccable customer service. We were unsure what to order so Cam, who was the on shift manager, gave us excellent advice and he ensured we were delivered with the best service and made our night even better. I explained I am vegetarian and he ordered accordingly. I highly recommend this place for the delicious cuisine and service!

50% off is a total con as it doesn’t apply to individual sushi rolls. We came to try some of the vegan options so were disappointed it was just off selected dishes. We were told they could do the omakase selection of sushi vegan and I probably would have cried if I paid full price for it. Just some random stuff shoved on top of rice - if you can’t do it vegan and make it worth it, just don’t offer it. Literal shavings of cucumber on rice as a ‘nigiri’. £7 for salt and pepper chips that came out as a starter 15 minutes before the sushi. Basic sushi, pieces all different sizes, presentation basic and service was bland. Definitely not worth the extortionate price and there are other sushi independents in Manchester worth going to.

Not worth the price for their sushi, very unauthentic and the ingredients were not that fresh either. Sushi presentation is not the best, you can tell the person who made the sushi isn’t professional from the size of the cutting (not equal at all, some are big some small) also the sushi was VERY slow in serving. Hot food was so much quicker, our friend finished his hot food before we even got our sushi which was very bad because it meant he watched us eat the sushi after. Unfortunately won’t be going here again neither will recommend others go.

Tasty food, great service and they went the extra mile to help celebrate a special occasion!

Last visited 13th August 2024 My wife and I have always been big fans of Lime Bar so thought we’d give the new rebrand a try and it is genuinely so impressive. The new look is amazing, the kitchen front and centre is breathtaking and despite recognising the bones of the old place it has transformed into something even better than what it had been. The lighting as well creates such an energetic and cosy ambience. The food is flawless. We tried a sushi platter and some street food and were stunned with everything. The dishes carried over from the old Unagi menu are as amazing as ever and the new items blew us away. Huge congrats to the kitchen team on everything. Service was also exceptional - I know that a lot of people might have been finding their legs during this soft launch but we found everyone friendly and attentive and noticed that any special requirements for the tables around us were being quickly passed on to the relevant people and well catered for. Vicky looked after us and we loved her. She had great craic, suggested items that we didn’t even know we wanted and was so quick with everything. She also had nice things to say about everyone around her which is always so nice to see. Hugely impressed by the whole experience and we absolutely will be back. A big thank you to everyone who looked after us.

Loved trying the new unagi in media city! Both myself and my partner are gluten free and we enjoyed teriyaki chicken, karaage chicken & edamame. So good, would go again.

Food decent, service great but the 50% off food bit of a con as it doesn’t include pretty much all sushi (unless random sushi platter) … 50% sushi was the reason we went. Staff were great though and everything was nice.

Great service and food. Fantastic to see the chefs at work with their blowtorches.

Went to Unagi a few days ago, the food and restaurant were phenomenal! Such a great atmosphere and very well designed. I would highly recommend getting the beef tacos. Josh who took care of our table couldn’t have done more to give us the best experience possible, we had allergies on our table and he dealt with them with a lot of care and easy solutions to get around the allergies. Thanks Josh for 10/10 customer service and making our trip a good experience.

Nice food in a lovely location.

Horrible experience. Waited for one hour for the sushi. While at least 6 plates were ready, no staff even bothered to deliver them. They just walked around and chatted with other staff and customers. We could see our plates of sushi were there for at least 20 mins before being served. And while they were doing a promotion on "food menu", it only applied on certain items. Kind of misleading. The only good thing was the receptionist guy who was very welcoming.

Vile woman on the front desk. Walked in with my daughter to eat and was asked immediately if we had a “booking”. The restaurant was half empty. Women then proceeds to tell us that it looks like we are “fully booked”. I told her that was rude and I’d rather eat elsewhere who would take my business rather than mess me about. Made me feel embarrassed and as if the place was exclusive. Disappointed as I really rate the one in Altrincham being a local I wanted to eat her as it was familiar to us. If you take bookings only you need to make it clear. This was at 12:47pm. Can’t comment on food as we didn’t get invited in. Can imagine it’s really nice from watching the chefs and very clean. Very unwelcoming and judgemental from staff.

Amazing food and service! Thankyou to Josh & Jake! Work as a great team, lovely couple x

Even though we waited for about an hour to get our food, the experience I had was great! We were offered free drinks and snacks because of the wait. Our waiter took good care of us and when food arrived… Let me just say it was so worth the wait! Coming back soon 🔥

The platter was beautifully made and tasted amazing so big compliments to the chef and the lovely servers ( didn’t get their names :( ) but they were both brunette girls who made mine and my boyfriends anniversary so lovely! Definitely will return in the future ❤️

So delicious! The sushi bar in the middle of the restaurant is really special and the AF drinks were awesome 🙌🏽

The staff, service, and food were amazing. Really enjoyed the sushi which was of high quality. Sushi chefs friendly and made nice specials for us.

Got invited down to the pre launch of this and was blown away. Service was a bit slow but that was to be expected. All the sushi was made fresh in front of you and all the food in general was delicious. Cocktails were amazing too. The decor of this restaurant is exceptional, I was so impressed. Japanese food/ Sushi lovers, get yourself down here and you won't be disappointed.

Me and my partner ADORE the food from here. The Cauliflower Bang-bang is delicious, as is the deep fried pumpkin, that sauce is incredible! We get it every time. The pricing is decent too, we tend to go for a selection of small dishes. Service is a bit shaky, sometimes the staff are great and other times not so much. One time in particular the whole restaurant was empty and we were sat by the staff, right next to some guy on his own, keep in mind the tables are very close together. it was just a bit odd when we could have easily been spaced a table away. When we requested to move tables, they moved us with no issues at all. So not a major thing but I obviously left an impression on me!

Our child is allergic to sesame. When we ordered our food, we have asked if everything could be served without sesame or sesame oil. The server came again to ask if traces of sesame would be fine as their kitchen could not prepare our food separately. I said it’s fine as long as there is no sesame in ours. When our rice bowl came, I didn’t expect traces of sesame would be like this … (photo below)… I didn’t want to waste food so didn’t ask the server to take it back. I thought my child could have my ramen instead. My child and I shared the ramen. After we have finished our ramen, I also found a few whole sesame in the bottom of the bowl… Luckily our child didn’t have any reaction. The ramen was very very salty so we didn’t give him much anyway. We had to go to the Lowry food hall to buy something else to feed our child. If you have food allergies, this place may not be for you.

really nice atmosphere but there were only about 2-3 tables full and we were seated behind a massive pillar so it was difficult to be seen by the waiters. the last time i came here, we had the same issue where the waiters were busy talking to each other so we were waiting a while to be served/to get the bill and to pay. the crispy fish tacos were tasty but the crispy squid wasn’t seasoned and heavy on the batter

The service was excellent and really quick. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The bang bang karaage chicken was delicious. The only reason this is not a five star as the tofu in Chili Udon was soggy.

Very busy place, appears a bit understaffed, just had to wait 55 minutes to get the starters. Food was good, though.

Really, really nice. Our server was a delight, she was super friendly. Food was delicious and reasonably priced.

We had such a delicious meal here and what friendly staff!! To be repeated.

Food was really nice, portion size was good and service was quick. There was plenty on the menu that I would choose from so will be back but for this occasion I went with the salt and pepper squid with katsu curry. The staff at Lime bar were also lovely and very tentative. We went on a Saturday evening and didn't have to book

This place is inside Lime so might be hard to spot but very worth it. Best poke in Salford/Manchester for sure with fresh, thick cuts of fish. Karaage chicken is also on point, and not that expensive either. The portion is good, food looks and tastes amazing. The menu isnt extensive but they nail what they do offer so highly recommended. We went on sunday around noonish and it was perfect as the werent that many people. I think this is going to be my go to spot whenever I have a sushi crave!

Sportsbar with two kitchens. Loud Atmosphere, not so nice. We came for eating Unagi Streetfood&Sushi ( knowing from other places) before visiting The Lowry. Sushi top! Delicious! Location not so. But okay to eat there before culturel events.

Came on Saturday for a late lunch after a wonder around the Makers Market. It wasn't very busy so quite easy to get a table. Ordered two uramaki rolls, the Mushu and the spider crab, both of which were quite nice. We also ordered the squid, karaage and pumpkin croquettes which were OK, could have done with some more seasoning. Food also took a while to come out, and the waitress got one of our orders wrong but not a huge problem as she corrected it and got us what we ordered.

Very good japanese food - we keep coming back to this place. We've had all kinds of sushi, and rice bowls. Also their udon noodle dishes are great and very tasty. Highly recommend this restaurant.

I’ve really enjoyed japanese food here. Bang bang chicken wing, Salmon poke bowl and Chicken teriyaki were great, recommended!!

Love this place. The food is fresh and looks amazing!

This place is so delicious!! It took us a quick minuet to find as it is located in Lime. But the food was exceptional and definitely worth the journey!! Would highly recommend g to sushi lovers out there!
