WAZUZHI (formerly Wasabi) in Manchester

This is my favourite Japanese restaurant in Chinatown! They have a really great selection of sushis and they are so fresh. I recommend to try the meal deal with a good selection of warm traditional meals like yaki udon or don buri and sushis for less than £20! The staff is always super welcoming and I love that they put Kpop and Jpop non stop on the TV!

A bit overpriced but overall flavour food, recommend the katsu bun! Lunch options are more affordable and they fill you up nicely, welcoming staff but since it's limited seating it gets a bit overwhelming.

😍 I love the food here, the people, the vibe. Love love love! Thank you xxx

Consistently good, i always come back for the tonkotsu ramen, absolutely delicious.

I would give 5 but the sushi rolls are bad imo. Ate there and ordered multiple times. THE GOOD: I can say most dishes are very good at decent prices. Ramen is excellent, unagi rice and chicken katsu rice also super tasty. Sashimi is decent. Salmon is not fishy and is tender, tuna usually as well. Nigiri has nice pieces of fish. Desert room has some very good desserts from sweet to less sweet and cold to warm. Ice cream is flavourful, cakes are fluffy, every desert I had was delicious. Bubble tea is decent and simple, which I like. NEUTRAL: The seating is okay, though I think the restaurant would be better with a few tables for people who don’t want to use the sushi belt. The size sadly does not allow for that. THE BAD: The sushi rolls have too much rice and too much vegetables, they are also slightly too big. Keep it simple. Big piece of salmon, avocado, some cream cheese, and don’t spread the rice over the whole nori. Same goes for all other rolls. The rolls you make have a small piece of fish and a bunch of different vegetables, it’s weird to me that you don’t have nice pieces of salmon in your rolls even though the sashimi is very well cut and tasty.

The staff is always super friendly. There's a huge selection of veggie dishes, food is delicious, and the portions are big. Love this place

Went for dessert. Loved the durian shaved ice and Dao Fa

I love it here the sushi is always great

We went to the dessert bar after dinner in Chinatown and feasted on mango sago pudding, pandan waffles, flavoured shaved ice and croffles. The staff were lovely and really friendly. It was so good we forgot to take photos.

Been coming here since 2016, food is consistently great. Never had a bad meal Here. Sushi is great too ! Amazing value for money also

cool place the sushi train was serving average food but alacarte menu was nice

I’ve been coming to wasabi chain (now wazushi) for the last 15 years. The udon ramen remained consistent and delicious, get it every time.

Without knowing and guided by other recommendations, I found this small place with great flavor, I tried the Pork Tonkotsu Ramen. Without a doubt a gem within Chinatown in Manchester.

My favourite. The best ramen in Manchester doesn’t exist

The rolls are too big and don’t really taste the best.

hands down the best ramen i’ve ever had. every time im in manchester i have to come back to my favourite place

Amazing service amazing food and a lovely atmosphere 👌🏻 hats off to the staff and chefs absolutely unreal

Amazing experience! Staff were lovely and accommodating, food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was great. Definitely recommend coming here, left full and happy!

My favourite place for a quick, cheap lunch. The staff are really nice and there is always a good selection of cold sushi on the belt. The hot food, made to order is also really nice.

Sushi belt and ramen place.. good set menu for weekdays and weekends which is just the right amount of food (3 sushi plates + main) .. bit tight seating given sushi belt and sometimes need to wait during busy times but food is good and good value!

Excellent place! Can't believe I've not been before till then

My ramen’s “chashu” was well done rather than soft, which is as hard as my noodles too. The uramakis is weirdly big, too much rice and not enough inside e.g. salmon. The broth was lovely though and the price is cheap. Good experience of sushi conveyor belt.

I visited here with some friends for the first time after a recommendation. I ordered a favourite dish of mine (Chicken Yakiudon) which was delicious, with a starter of salmon & avocado sushi from the conveyor belt/cold items. The service was fantastic and quick despite it being a lunch time. The Atmosphere was as expected with a quiet calm presence. Perfect to visit with friends and relax with a delicious menu, and of course great prices.

I always go to the dessert place upstairs. They have the best desert selection in town and it has been opened for as long as I know

Good Japanese style sushi bar and dessert 🍨 bar upstairs. Usually there is something of a wait But it's always been worth it so far Nice staff Good food. Definitely recommend trying it out.

I just love the food in there, so worth the price and what we eat! Very nice experience. I recommend it!

Cosy and welcoming place~ service was fast and the belt was filled with a great selection. Great value for money - excited to go again!

Love this place. Best food around we always try to visit when in Manchester

Really great little find with a desert bar upstairs. Not as superb as the Australian sushi trains but I’m spoilt over there.

We love this place, friendly host, good prices, amazing food xx

Amazing food! I love their udon. The food is good and the service is fast. Overall a good Japanese restaurant to try.

Tasty food and reasonably priced. Friendly staff and short wait times!

Food was great and the place is super nice. We ate here twice cause we really liked it

This is a cracking place. The staff are kind, courteous and polite. The food is fantastic as is the desert upstairs. There are queues for the sushi, Japanese cuisine and deserts. Love it here.

An intimate casual dining restaurant with shared seating around a conveyor belt. Delicious food, knowledgeable staff, and great prices. Just watch out for the service charge before you leave a tip!

Poor service, 10% excuse me, i’m serving my self and i have to pay for this? sushi that stayed in those balls for 6-7 hours not fresh at all, you order lemonade they bring you some sprite with ice. Very expensive, unpleasant experience.

I always come here the food is always good and great for the price.

Sushi is better than ramen, really not expected.

We went to the dessert room. Really recommend the mango snow ice. All was good.

We come here atleast once a month. Everytime, we are met with smiles all round and and are made to feel extremely welcome. The food is phenomenal and doesnt cost a small mortgage if you want to take the family out to sample local cuisine.

Lovely food 😋 If you like japanese food then this the place 😋

Those food were nice and cost effective

Good food!! I prefer Wazuzhi more than Maki and Ramen, and House of Fu! All these for only £20.50 + 10% service charge (though I am not sure why there is service charge). Not bad at all. We enjoyed it and will definitely come back ☺️

One of my favourite places to eat in Manchester, great deals on all week and so nice.

Nothing special, really. We only tried sushi (conveyor belt) bar. Mostly vegetables and rice… Barely any fish — salmon, tuna, and some shrimp— and the teeniest pieces. None of my favs were on the belt (unagi, uni, saba, etc). Service is very awkward at this long table. Maybe ordering from menu is a better experience, but I do not recommend the sushi bar at all.

Needs a 10 star review option. Was brought here by a good friend who’s been a local at Wazsuhi for 16 years which explains alone how good this place is. I had the seared salmon sushi at first and it blew me away how the food just disappeared in my mouth leaving only flavour. We then had the teriyaki pork donburi which transported me to the streets of Japan with the amount of flavour it had. The interior and staff were welcoming and only added to the delight of this meal, i would highly recommend Wazushi to anyone as it was hands down some of the best food i’ve ever had. Thank you for blessing my belly.

Super lovely staff, generous food portion sizes, good value. Lovely restaurant, nice decor.

The chicken katsu curry never disappoints, and is a weekday dinner staple! The service is always fast and simple, no extra waiting. The packaging is also very good, though I wish the bowls were a little deeper to make mixing easier. Otherwise one of the best Japanese comfort foods you can find in Chinatown.

Delicious, fresh food and always speedy, polite staff!

Loved our food and great service!

I have been to this restaurant around 40-50 times over the years and it has never failed to deliver. Amazing food and great value. A real hidden gem, but you will sometimes need to queue to get inside, especially during the weekend

First-class food and friendly staff. I’ll be back.

Really lovely food and fantastic value for money! I got the set with a chicken katsu curry and three plates of sushi from the belt and it was so lovely!

Perfect for a decent ramen and tasty sushi 🍣 on the sushi belt - this location has kaitenzushi character that I love, so prices are also great!

Forcing me to tip 10% is so stupid

I love their food is so good and I love the ice cream bubble ice creams. It was so good. I love it.

Love this place! Very cosy and friendly staff 😊 please visit so it stays open!!

Fantastic value. very pretty to look at. solo diners welcome. Something for everyone

been obsessed with this place ever since I first started uni 6 years ago and I still am. So so so delicious, friendly staff and good lunch and dinner deals!

Delicious fresh food, reasonable prices with large portions :) as a repeat customer since 2018, I highly recommend

This place has quickly turned into our weekly date night spot. Staff are always polite and friendly, the food quality is amazing and always tasty. Love love love it :)

Incredible Ramen, sushi was very fresh and could request sushi dishes that didn't come along the belt often or had been taken prior to getting to you. Very clean and attentive staff. Well priced for quality of food and meat in ramen was very tender. Favourite place in China town to eat

Took my 10year old here for tea. I didn't realise it was conveyor belt restaurant; he was delighted. Staff are very welcoming and helpful. Food is reasonably priced and tasty. Cost me less than yo sushi! They have a dessert room upstairs that was more expensive but very generous portions. I will definitely come back again.

Food is amazing! Had the best pork tonkotsu ramen I’ve had in the UK!!!!

Japanese food were delicious and affordable in this lovely place . The dinner sets were a great deal. Set A has lots of different sushi choices , and Set B has a bunch of ramen and other dishes to choose. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We had a blast on Friday night eating all that fresh sushi!

I just love this place. Their ramen and sushi. Amazing food and quick service!

Delicious food, friendly staff.

An all-around solid Sushi/Ramen house. Positives include. ●Excellent prices. ● Staff are pleasant, especially the wait staff. ●Food Delicious. Even the one Sushi I didn't enjoy, I could tell it was delicious even though it wasn't for my pallet. ●Good variety of food, including vegetarian and vegan. ●Short wait times. Negatives include: ●General confusion. If you understand how the conveyorbelt system works, there's no issue. If you're here for the first time, you'll be anxious about what to do. ●Conveyorbelt sushi had several items not on the menu and oddly had items that weren't on the menu. ●The Sushi conveyorbelt menu is barely visible without squinting. ●Miso soup was bland. ●Seating uncomfortable, squished against the wall. Overall, the cheap price point offsets most issues. However, there are quite a few issues, and if you're willing to put up with some minor annoyances, you'll enjoy it here.

Great experience at this sushi belt restaurant! The food was delicious and the prices were really reasonable. Lots of variety and the service was friendly too.

Perfect place with the perfect Ramen🤍

Really good and delicious sushi Definitely recommend Tamagoyaki sushi- katsu curry chicken- yassai rolls

Went back to this place after not visiting for a while, saw the name change and was a bit worried. This place is just as good as it's ever been, always good food, good service and although it's a bit cramped it's worth being a bit squished in. Great food especially for the price

Best udon noodles I've had good quality milk tea and lots of options for many tastes

Food is great, although service can be slow and without order. I ordered drinks and food before 4 other patrons, and I waited 20 minutes for a half pint of coke, and they got their drinks before me, while not the end of the world, definitely makes the experience a tad worse than i would have preferred

What they provide is amazing value. Had a great budget meal, clearly hardworking chefs and waiting staff so i’d recommend tipping. It can be confusing going the first time though. If in doubt just call over a waiter. It’s also quite busy (and small) so be prepared to wait for a seat if you go at busy meal times.

Love it great price and quick service.

he combination of excellent food, attentive service, and a stylish atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a refined and authentic Japanese dining experience. Whether you are a sushi aficionado or new to Japanese cuisine, Wazushi promises a delightful and memorable culinary journey.

Incredible food and service, the best ramen I’ve ever eaten I’d pay so much more for it than I did. Price was incredible too!

Korean dessert shop with snow ice cream, waffles, bubletea and many other Asian-style desserts, including durian.

The food is amazing. The Sushi is so fresh and delicious. Great value for money.

I come here for lunch or dinner with friends and family whenever we feel for sushi. They are fully packed with so much variety, flavour and so many dishes you can order on top that is authentic enough to get a Japanese experience. My go-to types of dishes are the noodle soups because the broths are full of flavour and satisfy your hunger without being too much.

Nice food but not much variety to be fair

The food is below average. However, the dessert place is truly impressive! Their Bing su, also known as "Snow ice," surpasses the ones I've had in Asia.

Every time I come to Manchester, having dinner at Wazuzhi is a must. First time I came here in Oct/2022, still called Wasabi, we fell in love with the food and ever since the quality hasn’t changed. Hot food is served within few minutes, service is really good and staff is always nice. We tried different dishes and never got disappointed. Love it, love it, love it.

This is justifiably one of the best sushi places I've been to. A good choice of vegetarian options. 3:30pm was a good time to go as there was no wait for a seat.

The staff here, they need a raise! They were great but the place is TINY! crab walk everywhere, feel sorry for the staff working here, it must be tiring walking and squeezing through gaps like that. Food was nice but it has declined in the past few years, not as authentic. Price also raised but the sushi is nice. I like that you can order sushi that you cant see on the belt, so it is fresh!

Absolutely amazing independent version of yo sushi. They also have a great menu to order off. Could not recommend a visit more x

I got the set b which was 3 grey or orange bowls and one main, and I got the chicken gyoza tonkatsu as a main. The sushi is expensive for what it is. The sushi bowls were ok and you get two pieces of whatever you choose. The main was underwhelming as the gyoza were akin to mush. Service was slow, perhaps due to the setup of the restaurant, which is awful. To put it simply it's cramped. We were directed to the end of the conveyor, which made it evidently difficult for the waitress to get to. All around it wasn't a satisfactory experience.

This has been on my list to go to forever and it was well worth the wait. Went with my 10 year old daughter. There was a 10 mins wait which I thought was lucky. I ordered the set menu 1 and daughter ordered the set dish A (6 items off the conveyor plus a bowl of miso soup) it was all to die for. The set menu was lovely from the sushi to the noodles in broth even the salad has an amazing dressing on. My daughter loved trying the different sushi and wolfed down the miso soup. Can't wait for an excuse to go again.

This has become mine and my partners favourite place, we travel from Preston and absolutely love the atmosphere and the service! It has now become our monthly tradition!

Had a few bites of sushi while strolling through Chinatown, was fine. Inexpensive lunch menus.

Just my favourite restaurant in Manchester

If you're looking for a satisfying lunch deal, this place is a winner—Ramen for just £7.95. The service is quick, which is perfect for a midday meal. I've been here over 10 times, and it's consistently great. Definitely a top spot for a quick, delicious, and affordable bite.

Great spot for casual, well priced conveyor belt sushi. Minimal frills but good atmosphere and decent food.

A very peculiar place, excellent food. And good prices given that it is Manchester

I went here for Tonkatsu. I have eaten this menu more frequent esp. in Japan. This shop doesn’t give a good tonkatsu just deep fried pork with rice. Pork fillet is very thin! I order green tea, but I got a cup with green tea bag!!! On the menu they said it is refilled but no idea how. This is totally different from Japanese shop. The best is price, cheaper than others.

One of the best ramen and sushi. Highly recommend

Whenever we are in Manchester we visit this place. A bowl of ramen with a sushi set for £11 and you can really eat it up. I recommend

The food here is amazing for anyone wondering about price you can do a main and 3 sushi plates of the belt for £14.50 at the weekend. Huge value for money; I had katsu curry and shared six plates of sushi with a friend. Would recommend. It’s quick, hot and tastes super fresh. Anything on the sushi menu that is not on the belt can be ordered for you. Definitely returning.

The ramen was delicious and tasty. We took the combo ramen + 3 sushi
