The food was absolutely delicious 😋. The deep-fried soft-shell crab ramen was excellent, with a rich and flavourful broth. The breaded pork cutlet curry rice was also very good — the pork cutlet was perfectly crispy, and the curry sauce was a classic Japanese sweet curry. The beef brisket curry rice was equally tasty; the beef was slow-braised until tender and full of flavour. There was also a conveyor-belt sushi section offering a wide variety of fresh options. Definitely worth recommending to friends. Unfortunately, the space was extremely cramped and overcrowded, making it quite uncomfortable to sit and dine.

This restaurant was a nice surprise within Manchester. The sashimi was generous and of nice quality for the price of the dish we had, even matching some meals I had in Japan (around 14.50) as well as the sushi. Our drinks were ok but I don't think you'd be going here for that alone as theyre nothing amazing. The atmosphere was nice, classic conveyorbelt sushi environment but it was also kind of... uninteresting. Overall, a 4/5 experience.

Wazuzhi • Formerly known as Wasabi Sushi, Wazuzhi serves Japanese staples from Tempura, Sashimi, Ramen to Teppanyaki, Donburi, Chirashi bowls and Steamed rice dishes. We sampled the following: 》Soft Shell Crab on spicy Udon 》Salmon Roll 》Ebi Katsu with tonkatsu sauce 》Breaded Korean oysters Pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food from the fresh salmon roll, perfectly cooked ebi katsu and breaded oysters plus the hearty spicy udon. The contrast in textures and balanced flavours made this meal satisfying. I've always loved the idea of choosing your fave sushi plates from a revolving conveyor belt so I got excited when I saw that they have one. If you still have room for dessert, check out Wazuzhi Dessert Room. We tried their Mango & Green Tea Snow ice, Croffle with salted caramel, biscoff crumble, vanilla ice cream and Norwegian brown cheese (obsessed with this one) and Milk Tea Latte. They were so moreish, definitely worth all the calories! So impressed with the variety of their menu ~ will try the Matcha cheesecake, Thai tea snow ice, mango sago with pomelo, ice cream mochi and pineapple spring rolls on our next visit.

The food was quite good. We got plates of sushi and it was quite delicious. The service was bad, the female waitress (1st Oct, Wed 13:00) looked and spoke to us like we owed her money instead. Completely rude and disrespectful, glaring at us and spoke like she hated us. Atmosphere could be better, we were all packed together, no clear dividing of table space per seat. Any good impression of the shop’s atmosphere was gone anyway because of that horrible waitress. The food was good but would not come again. Maybe because this is a popular restaurant that they don’t care about staff attitude.

Delicious fresh sushi and delightful Japanese dishes! The staff were fabulous and tentative even if it was extremely busy.Considering how good the food is I am surprised that we only had to wait 20 minutes for a table, I would have definitely waited even longer. Every time I came to Manchester I have to eat here plus their desert bar upstairs has the best shave ice cream in UK,plus some exclusive desserts as well. I am so glad that I can enjoy such great quality food and desserts in China town. Thank you so much for the happiness you bring me with every meal!
