The best restaurants serving Japanese food in Manchester North West

Please pay attention! They have HALAL signs but they sell food with pork. The stuff don't recognise that Taiwan belongs to China and I don't want to eat ‘food’made by people who have serious political problems anymore

Just popped in today, Staff were really friendly and recommended just the right doughnut to hit the spot! Pumpkin Spice, in case you're wondering 😍

My wife and I found out about Cha Ology through our son who had visited previously. Established in Manchester for more than 8 years, Cha-Ology closes the world off around you and hugs you into a womb of peace and serenity through the taste and contemplation of various Japanese teas and sweets. For our visit, we chose a summer teas menu with a number of unique tasting experiences ranging from a tea brewed with a circular block of ice through to a roasted hazelnut tea as a warming drink. To accompany the teas, we also had some red bean paste desserts, tofu in jelly and delicious green tea and milk chocolate. Although on the expensive side, the experience is very immersive, transports you to a corner of Japan for a few hours and benefits from very knowledgeable and welcoming hosts. Highly recommended!

chicken tasted very artificial. the noodle was too sweet and very saucy. i would not come again. the staff was friendly tho.

We came here because Lucky Ramen wasn’t doing Ramen broth until 5pm, walked up to Ancoats for nothing. My son ordered the Karage chicken, very fresh, crispy chicken, good spice too. We followed with the ramen with chicken, could have been slighter hotter in temp, but very good depth of flavour and just the right amount of heat from the 🌶️ and lots of coriander, 🌿 happy eater. My son had the pad Thai noodles, he said he could lick the plate. The staff here were lovely. The girl serving looked very approachable, as if she enjoyed her job. We will certainly be going back, great place.

Came with partner as we needed a bite to eat. Quick service and helpful staff. Food was really quick to come and was great quality. Will definitely be coming back again

The most beautiful Japanese desserts with flavours to die for - black Sesame, roasted tea, matcha. The sundaes are a bit pricy but worth it. My only niggle is that not all the desserts available are visible on the board menu.

Possibly the best sushi spot in Manchester. Not only was the food great but the service was unbelievable. Food was very nice and arrived quickly. They really make you feel at home and the owner and all the staff were very friendly and hospitable. 10/10 and shout out to Queen Sky.

The burgers were dry, had very little taste and I feel that they are missing quite a few accessories.

I'm a regular customer at Nudo. While it's not the cheapest option, it's usually not very busy, which is rare in the city centre. However, my last visit on 11/2/24, after the Chinese New Year dragon parade, was unusually busy. I ordered a small sushi box and a bubble tea to go, but the cashier didn't provide me with a receipt as usual. When I inquired about the price of the sushi, as it wasn't labeled on the box, the cashier's response was unhelpful, stating that all sushi boxes have different prices. Then I requested a receipt, she quickly apologized and refunded me the full amount, then recharged me and provided the receipt as expected. The coincidence of being overcharged and not receiving a receipt seemed too convenient to ignore. It appears that staff could manipulate the system, possibly inputting higher-priced items such as the most expensive bubble tea but providing the correct order. Many customers might not bother to check their receipts, especially if not initially provided. While the sushi was satisfactory, the bubble tea lacked flavor, and the disposable plastic cup was too flimsy to hold properly. Additionally, the paper straw became damp and broke when there was still a third of the bubble tea left. Given this experience, I have no intention of returning to Nudo. With plenty of other options available, including better-quality bubble tea, I'll be exploring elsewhere in the future.

Called in for tea, nice layout, its downstairs but they have a lift.Had the raman noodles and the katsie curry.Friendly staff, good service and tasty food

Came here for a quite dinner. Liked it wasn't to full but could see staff were attentive. Definetly recommend the cherry blossom gin, chicken gyoza and yaki udon.

This was a major let down, the robots didn't even serve us. Food very poor, long wait and tasted like a crap take away. I cook far superior as I'm into Asian cooking...won't be back. 100 quid wasted....
