Wasabi Sushi and Noodle Bar in Manchester

Just recently ordered our favourite sushi platter and always a happy customer. A variety of choices, very fresh and really satisfies our sushi cravings 🥰. The rice grains are firm yet tender with a slightly chewy texture; just what you want from a sushi ☺️. Special mention to Selina (expo) and Myles the head chef for their excellent customer service. Highly recommended!! 💯

Had a hankering for Japanese food when we arrived in Manchester and luckily our hotel was just around the corner from the Chinatown district. We wandered into Wazuzhi (formerly Wasabi) after searching google for our nearest options and it came up with the best reviews. It’s a standard conveyor belt type set up with someone to order any hot dishes. We both opted for our favourite beef donburi. The beef was so delicious, tender and thinly sliced and the sauce was amazing. We didn’t eat anything else but those around us were clearly enjoying the food on offer. It is a tight squeeze but if you can get in, it’s so worth it. I loved the atmosphere and was happily bopping along to the k-pop playing on the TV whilst I ate my lunch. I would definitely come here again when I was in Manchester.

I came here when it was still known as Wasabi and found it decent, but it was even better the second time around! In addition to a few plates from the conveyer belt, I decided to try the tonkotsu ramen and it was easily one of the best Japanese dishes I've ever had - so creamy and flavourful with plenty of delicious toppings. Great selection and value for money. The only downside is the size of the restaurant (customers are packed in with very restricted room for movement which impedes service speed), but overall a fantastic sushi spot which I can't wait to visit again.

Drove 25 minutes to pick up food. It was all terrible tasting and ridiculously over priced. Bland, no flavour or seasoning. Could not tell what was in the gyozas as they had no taste. King prawn teppanyaki was a bowl full of noodles with some cabbage grated through it and a few hard peppers thrown in but not actually cooked. The Yakatori Chicken was fatty and stone cold it was all a complete waste of money, and didn’t get finished. We will never be returning.

First visit here.. I'm not really a dessert person, but wow !!! The desserts here are amazing !! Looking at the menu, you are spoilt for choice.. so many different desserts to choose, Friendly staff and spotless toilets... Will definitely visit again!!

We travel from North Wales specifically for the tonkotsu ramen. Probably been a dozen times over the past couple of years&never had a bad experience. Great, friendly staff, fantastic ramen & quick service. If you're looking for fancy, probably not your place. If you're looking for delicious, well-priced ramen, go get in the queue!

Me and my friends always come here for desserts! They taste delicious and you can find anything you want from crepes, waffles, mochi ice-cream. If you have a sweet tooth this is the place to be

Wasabi has now changed to wazushi but still works the same, set menu with conveyor belt sushi is the thing to try…. The nicest pork bone broth in Manchester, good strong taste, the pork slices were good too, not too much fat… the accompaniments in the ramen are flavoursome too….. the the sushi dishes are down to you to choose, lots of choice, raw fish, cooked meats, veggie sushi is all there to be taken advantage of… be prepared to queue to get seated especially around lunch to tea time… worth the wait, also plays k-pop on there large screen tv if that’s you’re thing.. thumbs up 👍 good ramen is difficult to do

I went here in 2009 and really enjoyed it and thought I'd visit again as I love Japanese desserts. It seems to have changed its name to Wazuzhi and looks really scruffy now. My dessert was nice and staff pleasant but the whole place looked uninviting compared to how it was.

It’s terrible as I got food poisoning right after eating their sashimi, my friend and I have some sashimi and noodles, and both got food poisoning after having it.

Best place for sushi, the tomago sushi is amazing! Highly recommend this place, and it’s cheap too! Great music too🤝

I came for the sushi, and it did not disappoint. I eat a very big portion and only paid £15 Will definitely come back. I came at 3 pm and it was very busy, I think that's always a good sign. I was the only non-Asian person there too. Another good sign!

Been coming here for many years, always great service and food for a reasonable price. Good selection to choose from on the menu.

I love a dessert bar! This one is pretty popular and it’s walk-ins only, so you may have to sit downstairs for a little bit before being able to go up. I got a half and half Snow Ice (there’s around 10 flavours to pick from and so this is ideal if you can’t settle on one) while my friend went for a Croffle which looked delicious. There’s a range of other puddings to choose from; on top of this, there was a specials board. I’m already thinking about returning.

The sushi is so swag and lit, I couldn't even buss down yo. Noodle broth got me brothing at the mouth feral like woof woof woof. Woof.

Came alone and my order was forgot. Other customers sit next to me and we took order in the almost same time, but my food still not arrived even after they finshed. I understand it's a busy period but when I hands up about 5 mins to make sure if my order is proceed, no one answered me! Also, the sushi on the belt was almost all gone and I'm waiting for my favorite type around 3 turns, it's still not show up. Anyway, the food itself is quite nice, just need to pay more attention on the service.

I was ordering the sushi, but i lost my appetite. It smells very bad and the food is hoorible. the service is not that good either.

I had been here before with my now wife, maybe 8 years prior and we loved it. Fast forward to now and I was in Manchester with our 7 month old son and made a beeline for Wasabi. Arrived and instantly settled on ordering their...

I love coming to Wasabi! A nice, casual place to eat tasty ramen and enjoy a sushi conveyor belt. The manager is always so friendly and smiley, and the rest of the staff are very welcoming too. Thank you!

When ordering takeaway Wasabi is always my number 1 go to place and finally I got to actually visit the restaurant! What really stood out to me was the Covid19 measurements they have in place. Antiseptic gel upon arrival, scan/check-in but also provide the option...

We have been to Wasabi for lunch before but not been to the dessert room so gave it a try. It's pretty difficult if not impossible to get East Asian desserts so it was nice to see a wide range here. Service is very good...

Posto carino, ricorda un ristorante giapponese col roll di sushi davanti al tavolo.Porzioni buone e correlate ai prezzi.Abbiamo preso due bowl di ramen all’anatra e beef e due bun, tutto buono ma la carne un pochino secca.Servizio recuperato in calcio d’angolo: appena entrati non siamo stati nemmeno salutati ma cacciati fuori a fare la fila (c’eravamo solo noi), e una volta dentro ci è stata controllata la temperatura -bravi, e siamo stati accomodati vicino la cucina ah, ci è stato chiesto nome e numero di telefono (per qualche ragione). Una volta fatto l’ordine sono stati molto VelociNice place, it recalls a Japanese restaurant with a sushi roll-in in front of the tables.Fair prices related to portions . We’ve ordered two bowls of ramen with beef and duck, tasty by the meat a bit dry.Service saved at the end: once in, we’ve been told to go outside without greeting to queue (we were the queue), and once inside they checked our temperature - well done, and gave us a sit next to the kitchen. Ah they asked for our name and telephone number (for some reason). The service after the order was very quick.

Love love love this place! Have been going since 2013, food has always been amazing - lunch time deal is worth the price, and the ramen is AH MAZING. Cannot recommend coming back enough!

came and had some ramen here. the food was quick to arrive and the prices are very good. got the meal deal you get ramen plus 2 side dishes of sushi. was fresh and tasty. afterwards we went to the desert room upstairs and got some shaved ice. only thing is, that is was a little cramped.

We went to Wasabi for the dessert room. We wanted yam ice cream and got it. The taro snow ice cream was fantastic. Frozen shaved ice cream with red bean and rice balls. Absolutely lovely and worth the detour.

Called in here for a quick late lunch and was amazed at the great value that was offered on their lunch menu. It, s the typical sushi restaurant format with the dishes going around the main eating area on a conveyor belt. You take what you want then pay at the end. The quality and choice was fantastic and 7 plates and green tea came to just under £12, probably half of what I would have paid in other similar restaurants. The service was attentive and friendly. Will definitely be going back next time I'm in Manchester.

Similar to others, I'd say skip the restaurant (which is cramped and not of the highest quality) and go straight upstairs to the dessert room which has some of the best desserts in Manchester. Try the pandan matcha waffles, shaved ice, and the mochi ice cream bites for something delicious and different if you're near Chinatown. Plus the staff upstairs are very nice, efficent, and more professional than the restaurant staff who seem very stressed and rushed, otherwise I'd rate 5*

Durian shaved icecream the best. Taro tea will go down well with it if you are OK or adventurous with your ..tongue

Lovely food, friendly staff, family friendly, reasonably priced. Had some lovely sushi and enjoyed some gorgeous katsu curry and rice.

This is a must do experience. Up above the Japanese (?) restaurant is a fully decorated “Tea room” where you can try all sorts of Asian desserts (my favourite were the moshi filled with ice-cream). We really enjoyed it and for who doesn’t want to experiment too much, there are huge crepes. Very good and friendly service. Recommended.

Delicious, fresh, food. The set meal plan is very good value for money, good service and reasonably priced.

I will not be back. I went here quite late but they were still meant to be open for an hour. There was no choice on the belt and everything was rushed. The chicken skewers we ordered were cold and all the food was a very poor standard. If you are open the food quality and service should always be the same even with an hour till closing. We just couldn’t enjoy anything as we were being made to feel hurried and they almost carried us out the door at the end. £30 meal that took 30 minutes and was all shockingly bad.

Fantastic Sushi bar, great service & great sushi cannot wait to go back & try the noodle dishes they looked fantastic aswell

Como dice el título! Siempre es un placer pasar por aquí. Comida fresca, gran variedad y precios muy razonables. Gran comienzo en la cocina japonesa si eres nuevo (como algunos de mis invitados). Arriba, sin embargo, es una joya y se ofrecen algunos postres realmente sabrosos. Todo hecho a pedido y buen servicio al cliente!

Es realmente difícil encontrar un lugar japonés decente en estos días, ya que hay muchos restaurantes japoneses. Wasabi encabeza los restaurantes japoneses en Manchester. El precio es el que esperarías de un japonés. Está repleto dentro donde sirven platos, ya que es pequeño, pero definitivamente vale la pena la multitud. También ofrecen un bar de postres en el piso de arriba donde puedes elegir diferentes postres con sabor. No podría recomendar este lugar más

Realmente amo Wasabi Sushi, son geniales con mis hijos y también tienen muy buen sushi, el personal es maravilloso y servicial. Me gusta la cinta transportadora y porque todo se ve tan bien y es más fácil hacer que mis dos pequeños prueben cosas nuevas.

Tenía la opción de menú fijo de algunos platos de sushi fuera del transportador y un plato de fideos con pollo. ¡La tentación de comer más sushi antes de que aparecieran los fideos fue genial!

I’m vegan and one of the things I miss more than anything is good sushi. They had a great selection of vegetable rolls, all of which were lovely. Had 6 plates of sushi, miso soup and a beer for £14! Would highly recommend

OK this is not a review of the ground floor sushi bar but of the dessert bar upstairs. It serves all manner of heavenly desserts like mango shaved ice and waffles pandan flavours. Amazing.

We were greeted at the door and seated promptly with friendly service. Ordered noodles and a few other items p

One of my favorite places to eat in the city, i wish they had more restaurants in smaller towns so i could visit more frequently. Food is really only good fresh witch is a shame because it would make great lunches x

Was passing through Manchester for a few hours to get my Chinese visa. I planned to go in here as I liked the look of it online. I'm glad I did! I arrived at lunchtime just after they opened. The staff were very friendly and showed very polite gratitude for my custom. It got busier within a few minutes but it was a lovely atmosphere. I really enjoyed the food and the pieces of sushi were quite large! It was easy to locate a dish you liked off the belt also as sometimes they were labelled and they came round in the same order as was displayed on the menu.

Meal for 2 & I'm stuffed & all for under £25 & it was delicious Very friendly & helpful staff. explaining menu to me

I’ve never been to a place quite like this before, sushi coming round on a conveyor belt looking lovely and an unlimited amount of food. I got to try everything I wanted- I wasn’t even bothered about the price it was delicious!

The food was so scrummy, oh so tasty and the staff were lovely. Value for money also nice and clean too. The desserts are on the floor above, you just walk up a few steps, are seated and your order is taken and OMG the desserts are delicious! They look great and taste even better. You can go there just for desserts and it's well worth it.

I frequent Wasabi often and both me and my partner always love how fresh the sushi is. The service is always fast as well; £10.95 for a dish and 3 sushi plates is a bargain. Wasabi is the perfect place if you want authentic Asian food at a very reasonable price.

Went for lunch. The selection of sushi was very limited on the conveyer belt, the majority were the cheapest grey plates, which were rather basic. The rice in the sushi were ok, similar to 80% of the sushi restaurants found in the UK, it fills your stomach but lacks the texture and flavour that only a minority of places are capable of serving up.

Only ever used Wasabi for takeout as I work just round the corner but it's great. The food is great value for money, the service is quick with my food usually ready in 15/20 minutes. Many trips here and haven't had reason to complain yet!

Food was great definitely going again good service a lot to choose from ramin soup delicious great sushi bar

Visité Wasabi por primera vez un viernes con un compañero de trabajo y ambos optamos por el plato principal con tres platos grises. El plato principal de pollo a la parrilla era excelente y escogimos seis platos grises diferentes en total, lo que nos permitió probar una amplia variedad de platos, ya que había al menos dos porciones en los platos grises. Luego visité el viernes siguiente con amigos y nuevamente aprovechamos el compartir platos grises entre nosotros.

Menu was a little bit confusing at first but decently priced lunch with a few dishes off the conveyor belt. The dishes are color coded and generally they're all good but you can upgrade to a more expensive color but pretty pricey. Kinda crowded though so show up early.

I love coming to this place since it really always has such a chill and welcoming atmosphere. Really pleased with the food as well and what they offer is great for the prices! I adore this place!!

One of my fav place in Chinatown, when we and my partner feeling for japanese foods Wasabi is our number choice.

We went for a late lunch - got Menu B and added some extra Miso soups. It was a bargain and we couldn't finish it all. The Soup was very tasty and with plenty of tofu. The sushi was very nice, and the kids love the conveyor belt. The ramen(s) were lovely as was the belly pork rice dish. Staff were friendly and attentive, the place was clean. It's small but cosy. They do take away too. There is a sweet dessert place upstairs offering Japanese desserts.

Un accueil agréable, un restaurant propre, un service rapide, une nourriture très correcte même plutôt bonne pour le prix ! Un vrai détour en Asie à Manchester

really reasonably priced. pleasant service. katsu was wonderful. lovely atmosphere. fab spot in chinatown

Locale piccolino nel cuore di Chinatown si mangia velocemente un sushi di qualità sufficiente.consigliato per uno stop veloce.ottimo servizio

Good value for money Sushi at lunchtime! Will go again soon. Bit tight for space but friendly atmosphere!

Buenas opciones vegetarianas que incluyen katsu curry y sopa de fideos con masa de verduras. También varios artículos de sushi vegetariano. Tuvimos que esperar para que nos sentaran, lo que siempre es una buena señal y disfrutamos del sushi de la cinta transportadora junto con algunos platos principales. El servicio era eficiente y sin duda volvería.

Couldn't believe how good value the place was, especially considering the price of our local similar places in Newcastle. A great place for us as I could get mostly hot food and my partner mostly sushi, though I did try some of the sushi and it was very very good. The eel especially which I had never tried before.

Wasabi is like yo!sushi but a million times better and at a more reasonable price. The staff are friendly and you can get food to take away too. Fresh and delicious. Really recommended!

Gosh... my friend keeps going on about this place and every-time she comes to Manchester, she has to pay a visit to this place.... I can see why now haha!

We found this restaurant by accident and were very pleased. We had teriyaki and hirata buns to start, followed by a pork belly soup, and a domburi. All of it was tasty and fresh. There is also a conveyer belt to choose from and we shared a couple of bowl from that. The staff are helpful when we were making our choices. We didn't realise until we were leaving that they had a dessert restaurant upstairs, and I would suggest that we should have been asked to see that menu too. It is not scary there, and it is OK to ask about the food. If in Manchester again I would return to this restaurant.

I went to Wasabi for my birthday lunch. I ordered set menu B for £9.95 and chose the pork belly tonkotsu ramen and a honeydew melon bubble tea (£3). It was all delicious. The ramen was fantastic, and the sushi options I picked from the belt were great too (particularly the tofu skin). My only gripe is the staff, although they're incredibly polite, they are very eager to remove your empty bowls. My boyfriend had finished his, but I had not, and the waiter was sneaking up behind to try and take the bowl. It felt very rushed like they were waiting for the seats. I'd visit again though, the food was delicious and loved that they play K-POP on the TV!

If you've been to Yo Sushi then the format is similar, a conveyor belt carries various small plate around and you help yourself to them. There's also additional a la carte options, such as various soups, rice and noodle dishes. I vistied for lunch on a weekday with my wife. There's an discount on the plates at lunch and we took full advantage. We we in as soon as it opened, as 12, and were promptly seated. After ordering drinks and Miso soup, we just got stuck in. We had a variety of small plates including spring rolls, fish cakes and different types of sushi. Overall an excellent experience. The food was lovely and in all cost £25 combined.

Good value for money and quick effient service, not the best sushi in the world but for the price its tasty and plentiful

Had looked online for a nice sushi restaurant to eat at in Manchester and Wasabi did not disappoint. Really good menu, big variety and nice seating around the belt. Belt was constantly full with dishes with new ones being continuously added. I mostly have the vegetable options when I go to sushi and the variety was lovely. I recommend the vegetable tampura (amazing) and the spicy cucumber rolls! Fairly cheap (£30 for two including beers). Would 100% go again and will be going again.

Let’s start with the only down side I found on my visit: the seats myself and my partner were in had very minimal room to move as we were squeezed into the back corner.

We arrived very late during a Sunday evening and was happy that we were able to be seated! The food is still a good price however the quality has fallen since I’ve last been. I had the pork belly ramen. The noodles had changed from their usual thicker selves and the ramen was tough like leather. The waitress intervened our meal and conversation to collect plates almost the instance we removed them. A total of 6 times our conversation was interrupted. Not a problem trying to keep on top of plates but we had to keep ducking and be asked to move aside to let her slip in for them. The belt was stopped halfway between our meal, meaning we had to get out the seats to retrieve the plates, all whilst the rest of the restaurant was being closed down and cleaned. We would rather have been turned away if it was too late than made to feel rushed and unwelcome. We asked if they could bag our leftover sushi up for us, instead they handed us the takeaway box to do it ourselves. Poor service.

Last time i was in japan, we lived off sushi and loved this place as this was also recommended by friends.

i went for luncg with businees partner and we had a great food right cooking and best environment. I hope I can visit it in the future. I recomend it to anyone willing to try good fast food and nice sercive.

We visited here one evening after 5 pm as my son wanted to try Japanese food.

All of the staff was friendly and we received our food and drinks in a timely manner. No complaints. Would definitely come again.

As sushi places go it was very average but cheaper than some so I guess you get what you pay for. The conveyer belt going round had the same 5 items going round and round the whole time. The beef curry was very fatty and the noodles a bit tasteless. The sushi was okay but didn’t taste very fresh. I probably wouldn’t return.

Really nice Asian style (Hong Kong, Japanese) desserts. Definitely will go again. Love the matcha shaved ice with red bean and the mango sago with pomelo.
