Grahame BussJune 16, 2018Pretty much everything is good. From the appetisers I usually go for Kara-age, gyoza, agedashi tofu, vegetable tempura and yakitori. Good green tea. Friendly, informal. Manchester is lucky to have it- David LaiOctober 16, 2012The only authentic japanese restaurant in Manchester. Soothing jazz atmosphere, the tempura is good quality and the sashimi is very fresh. Variety of different sake exceeds the amount of food!
Stephen TriminghamSeptember 11, 2014Excellent sashimi and gyoza. The food and Saki were unfortunately not matched by the service. A bottle of Saki turned into a jug and after a long wait, the mains arrived before the starters.- Bijan YoungJanuary 27, 2015High % of Japanese clientele showing how authentic and popular. Gyoza and yakitori to start. Chicken Katsu also very good. Sushi and tempura was ok.
Sazzle MOctober 8, 2014Love this place, would definitely recommend the kara-age and the gyoza. The chef has just won an award so it's much busier than last time we came!- VikashNovember 4, 2015Excellent food. Well priced. Highly recommended the sashimi and chicken starters. Great guest beers as well. Recommended
Simon QuinnOctober 17, 2022Totally authentic Japanese food. The sashimi was as fresh as can be. Will definitely be coming back if we’re ever in Manchester again!- David LaiMarch 18, 2013The grilled salt-marinated seabream is very very good albeit small for £15 but is cooked to perfection. I just wish there were more daily specials!
Simon WilsonOctober 18, 2015Great little cool place. At the least have some green tea and the really yummy gyoza. At the least.
Sam StarlingDecember 7, 2014The chicken kara age starter is fantastic. Sashimi was also excellent, as was the tonkatsu.
Quite simply the most authentic Japanese food you'll find in the north west! The yakitori is as good as i've had outside of Tokyo
Super authentic Japanese food! Kaisendon is highly recommended!
Tessa BrowneOctober 4, 2012The best Tonkatsu I've had outside of Japan. Check out the lunch menu for dishes around £7.
Kristina BonevaNovember 7, 2011Lunch time menu was fantastic! Gorgeous presentation, brilliant taste and a very good atmosphere.
Organic salmon donburi, watami salad, vegetable tempura - simply amazing!
- Easily the best japanese restaurant in manchester...great food and service try the gyoza it's sublime
JusthipperFebruary 15, 2014Beware going as a couple. We were sat at a bench starting at a plank of wood with 2 strangers so close they were elbowing me. And they were out of 3 of the 4 dishes we tried to order.
Kiri K.April 10, 2016Gyoza was good, but the tonkatsu didn't live up to its potential (half of it was batter). Staff isn't that attentive. Had to get up a few times to get their attention.
This is the ONLY 1 authentic Japanese restaurant in Manchester! I should know bcuz Im Japanese :-)
KApril 6, 2019Not authentic - had the meguro don which came with the smallest portion of rice and the tempura don where the tempura batter was thick like fish and chips batter. Very odd. Not good.
Mike BraunSeptember 14, 2013Food was great. Traditional Japanese. Service was poor - slow, starter we didn't get, etc. Despite great food probably won't be back soon.
James QianFebruary 5, 2012Try the Chicken Katsu Set - Rice tasted like chewing gums & chicken smelt good!
Evon ChungJanuary 8, 2011Do not go unless you have plenty of time- 35 min after we ordered, no food, no water - no one to ask because waitress disappeared! No good...
Tiffany LeeDecember 12, 2012Waitress just told me, "I'm sorry I can't serve you water, I'm too busy. " what the fuck?!
