WAZUZHI (formerly Wasabi) in Manchester

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

We went last nite omg the food was so delicious. This is my favourite place to eat in Chinatown. The vegetarian set meal is totally worth it the staff are always welcoming very friendly and helpful. You just have to try it for yourself ms peeps

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

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

Really liked the regular and the spicy tuna 😍. We arrived an hour and a half before closing time on a Saturday and very soon we were seeing the same few pieces of sushi pieces circling around; Ones that no one really wanted. Theres a sign that says they dont make any more sushi towards the end of the night to avoid food wastage 🙄. It didn't make sense to me cuz it was a Saturday and there were more people there than the sushi and it wasn't close to closing time. #reallywantedsomesalmon

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Service was the main issue. Staff were slow to clean slots and free up space leading to long waiting time despite seats being available. Ordered the spicy pork ramen but got regular instead. Otherwise, food was delicious and well priced.

As always the food is absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️.

Extremely good value for money, mains came quickly and were a great size.

I don’t like leaving a bad review. I love sushi and the vibes in here but I’ve had food poisoning twice now from this place and I’ve only ever been twice. So, the first time I got food from here it was lockdown, and early lockdown delivery sushi felt like I had it coming that it would pass right through me. Fair enough I told myself, sushi isn’t really meant for delivery, that’s not on them. The second time however was dinner tonight. I dined in at the counter and same thing happened. Within an hour of leaving the restaurant my food emergency exited my body. Oh the service was low as well since the wait to be seated was weirdly long while we were third in line, they just seem obviously under staffed.

Wow, wow, WOW! I walked through the door to be greeted by Kaho’s face - a very pleasant welcome indeed. Instantly the smells were making my mouth water, so I swiftly ordered the Duck Ramen. And swiftly it came, a meal of class, style, integrity and above all - TASTE! I ordered another one and as I feasted away the wonderful Kaho provided some light entertainment in the form of hip hop dancing. We got chatting away as we do and I told her about my nasty festering verruca, and she amazing reccomended me an amazing cream. She even accompanied me on her break to the nearest Boots and bought me the cream. The food is amazing, service exceptional and Kaho is so calm. Don’t miss out!

Warm atmosphere, really rich broth in ramen and tender shrimp katsu sushi, salmon was fresh and tasty. Helpful, super friendly and respectful staff. I so amazed to forget take picture of food itself 😂 but I’ll come back later for sure 🍀♥️

Food was ok, but there wasn't enough variation on the carousel.

Love it here, always yummy and always happy to make what isn't on the belt for us :)

Truly friendly and close service. The food is quite greasy and heavy. I expected a little more balance for Japanese food. The price is also a positive point.

Been there +20 times. Lovely food and lovely dessert room

Nice flavour That crab contain little bit of fishy taste

In my opinion, one of the best sushi restaurants in Manchester. Just shane about the small size.

Always love coming here. The set meals are affordable and delicious, and there's a great selection of sushi. Yet to try the dessert.

Food isn't bad and it's good value for money but it took a very long time to order and even longer afterwards to be acknowledged to pay. Tempura cucumber is also a rogue choice.

I would eat here all the time when I lived in Manchester. My favourite type of sushi there was the spicy tuna one. I truly miss the place.

friendly staff made the experience 5 star, quick service, helpful with menu, food arrived quick and each dish was delicious and equally tasty and fresh! thank you so much. we went sunday evening and got 3 sushi dishes and one large plate for £14.50!

Staff was really kind and friendly. Helped me with every reuqest and query I had. The food was equally good and the experience of dining in is fantastic. Only one thing is it was quite busy so I would recommend you to go early to avoid long queues. However, the wait is worth it all in the end.

great katsu curry, and the vibe was on point

Fantastic for the price. I’ve been coming here for a while and every single time it’s been a positive experience. They have a good selection of small sushi plates, but you can also order from the main menu. Personally, I would highly recommend trying soft shell crab from the main menu and chicken salad with sesame dressing that’s a park of a bundle.

Incredible!!! The best ramen and sushi in Manchester. We wanted to try as much as possible so got starters, sushi, a rice bowl, and a ramen. Everything was delicious and couldn’t ask for any better. It was a lovely environment and was a nice alternative to most restaurants in the Manchester. Price was also reasonable. Highly recommend!

It was our first visit in the Wazuzhi, and at any restaurant with a conveyor belt for that mattter. The staff was lovely and helpful, the place very clean. Food was delicious, and it was so much fun! The desserts were sensational. We were positively surprised pricewise too. Overall, a fantastic experience!

The lunch is affordable and delicious, and the service is very good. But there may be a queue and there is not much space.

The sushi seemed fresher than most other places in Manchester. Nice cosy place too.

What a gem this place is, small and cosy and very busy but totally worth the wait

Great food, great experience and lovely staff. Will definitely visit again, hopefully soon!

I’ve tried many Japanese places but I can honestly say hands down this is the best I’ve tried! Visiting up from London we were really fancying a mix of sushi and ramen, this hit the spot above and beyond. The combo meals for sure is something to shout about, we had a ramen each with the option for three sushi options each and it satisfied perfectly. The sushi was phenomenal with so many varying flavour options, really authentic! The ramen was perfect, not too heavy and just the perfect spice level. I highly recommend anyone who is visiting Manchester to check this place out and special compliments to all staff for creating such lovely food and a warming atmosphere.

Worth it trying this Kaiten type of sushi service. You can opt to pay by the trays you consume, or you can opt for the combos that they offer, which I highly recommend. My wife had a combo A and my son and I opted by eating as we go… we ended up eating almost the same as my wife but paid 30 - 40% more.

It’s very delicious, the soup is pork so if you can’t have that you’ll have to change it, ask about which foods are halal and staff are happy to tell you, very helpful.

One of my absolute favourite places in China Town, I've lost track of the number of visits I've made and love it everytime! The atmosphere is really comforting and the food always blows me away for the quality compared to such reasonable prices.

Great food and for a relatively good price too - £14.50 for a main and three plates. You do have to wait a while though, as it’s quite a cramped space and always packed

charge additional fees without informing in advance

Amazing food with friendly staff. Like you are in Japan eating real Japanese food. It affordable, too. There are no parking close by as it is located in town, but it worth the visit. Almost all ramen is not halal, as they are cooked with pork bones, yet you can enjoy the rest 😉

I've been going here for years and have never had a bad experience. The atmosphere is really nice, and the hot food & sushi are always delicious 😋

Best place for sushi and ramen. The music can be a bit loud sometimes. Desert room upstairs is stellar. Building is slightly cramped, but nothing they can do about that. Been coming here for years and years, and its nice to see that it hasn't changed.

Best time to go is at lunchtime. Really good food and meal deals.

Love it love it love it. Better ramen + broth than Maki&Ramen (overpriced and watered down). Always get the set B which is still a bargain at £14.50 with a main + 3 sushi plates. The only downside is the small space of the seats you're sat along the wall (be prepared to bang into people when you're going to your seat). good service, but wait time can be long (35+ mins) if you go at a busy time as a couple or group.

Delicious! Plenty of veggie options and a nice selection of beers. We got the dinner meal deal and there was plenty of food. Sushi conveyer belt was well stocked and we had our hot food served to us quickly. I got ramen and my partner got veggie katsu curry. He was delighted with it! Will definitely be back 🌟

Queued for about 45 mins outside hence 4/5 on service. Food was fantastic. It's a better cheaper version of YO Sushi. The whole tempura crab and the rib eye yakisoba were mind blowing.

Great service and lovely food at a really good price. 5 stars 🤩

I remember this restaurant fondly from when they originated in Printworks, as I would often revisit and enjoy my time there on several occasions before lockdown. I remember the food always being really good so when looking for a local restaurant to support, I wanted to show my friends Wazuzhi. As a larger party, we understood the wait time offered to us when asking to be seated during dinnertime. We also were gracious enough to understand smaller parties of walk ins or bookings etc. What I had a personal gripe with, was multiple walk ins showing up to stand in the venue ahead of us, crowding up the entire venue and being allowed to! It was uncomfortable for everyone there. This was incredibly unprofessional and made us turn around and eat somewhere else, and I had such a negative experience with how we were treated as paying customers that I likely will rely on other restaurants in future and never return here. Absolutely destroyed all of my favourite memories in the past eating at Wasabi back in the day.

Formerly Wasabi … always a goto place for lunch when in Manchester for last 15 years. Taken over recently but essential exactly the same! Off the belt starts £1.50 a dish and always plenty to choose … The seared salmon nigiri is lush! Fave!!! Great atmosphere, friendly staff but can sometimes be a queue but worth the wait!

I love this place, the food is amazing service from all the staff is beyond great. food comes out quick with always perfect quality. best ramen in manchester !!

I love this place, their ramen is amazing 😍😍

Excellent sushi (belt) and service. Little cramped but nice atmosphere for the space they have.

One of the best if not the best Sushi bar i have had the pleasure of dining. I have been here once every weekend for a while because its so very tasty and fresh. staff are welcoming, tables are tight, but the food is gorgoues.

Pricey but it’s the cheapest you’ll find round here. I would be skeptical about the set meals though.

Ha sido toda una sorpresa este sitio , con una comida muy buena y un ambiente muy agradable

What a brilliant find this is - the warm, friendly atmosphere and communal dining give a real homely feel to the place. The grilled chicken tonkotsu was amazing!! Real umami flavour, filling and so so tasty. I went at lunch so got the lunch deal for £7.95 - such good value for the portion & flavours. I will definitely be coming back (often!) 🤤

Uno de los mejores Japos en Manchester que he probado. Comida rica, barato y lleno de asiáticos, siempre buena señal..

very tasty and good size of the dishes

No idea about the sushi, but for ramen I really don't recommend it, other noodle restaurants do a lot better than this plain soup with ramen (something that I can do by myself at home.

The food is amazing, I tried the ramen and some sushi and they are all good. However, the space is too small and we are struggling to get to the seat due to limited area. The price is acceptable comparing to the quality and portion of food. Would definitely revisit.

Probably my go to Japanese spot now! Mind you I’ve not been in Manchester for very long. Anyways I had the £14 lunch meal. It is definitely worth a try, specially if you just want to give Japanese food a go. Affordable and tastes really good in my opinion. Loved the conveyor belt experience and the staff were lovely us. The place is abit small but I guess that is an experience in itself. Value for money - 10/10 Ambiance - 7/10 Service - 9/10

Great choice and a really good price. Recommend the set menu with 3 sushi dishes and 1 main
