Welcome to Aka Sushi Manchester

“ Saw this place on tiktok and decided to give it a try today haha. Very pleased and definitely would go again! Located in Chinatown and connected to a oriental supermarket so can even go for a lil shop before/after. Servings are quite big and the food is delicious. Staff were very kind and accommodating. Cute and cosy vibes ”

“ Having passed by this establishment for quite some time, I had been eager to visit. It is somewhat tucked away and not immediately visible on the side street. We enjoyed chicken ramen with soy sauce and chicken gyoza. The ramen was served in a generously sized bowl and tasted wonderful. We also had peach wine, which was very enjoyable. It surpassed my expectations in terms of both the food and the price. The service was also quite exceptional. ”

“ This is a very affordable Japanese restaurant. The sushi here is very generous in portion and there's a lot of fish meat inside. The new mix sashimi don, when eaten with soy sauce, tastes exactly the same as what I had in Japan. ”

“ Relaxed little place, absolute gem for sushi, and I have to callout the cocktails - they're so affordable and are yummy. I've been here so many times now with different friends and even just once for a few cocktails. Always been excellent. Absolutely addicted to the salmon sashimi bowl, my definite go to. The platters are amazingly worth it (I used to live in London so...), portion size was SO GOOD, quality SO GOOD (see pics) Never get hot food here so can't really comment but can confirm it smells and looks yummy. ”

“ The food here is absolutely delicious. I’ve been to this place twice since I started living nearby, and it’s one of the spots with the freshest fish I’ve ever had. The salmon literally melts in your mouth. This second time, I tried the shrimp with mayonnaise side, and they are hands down the best I’ve ever tasted. The service is excellent. Highly recommend. ”

“ Such a nice lunch spot, all of the staff are very polite, the food is really tasty and the portions are really big. We got the duck bento, the salmon dragon roll, nigiri and miso soup. The quality of the fish is also incredible. I would definitely recommend ”

“ Don't let the modest interior fool you. This place is an absolute gem for top-quality sushi without the luxury price tag. The food is the undeniable star here. Every piece of sushi I tried was fantastically fresh and meticulously prepared. The fish melted in my mouth, the rice was perfectly seasoned, and the combinations were classic yet flawless. You can truly taste the quality and care that goes into each dish. The value is exceptional. For the quality of fish and skill on display, the prices are more than reasonable. It's the kind of meal that feels luxurious but doesn't leave your wallet feeling light. The space is simple and functional, making it a perfect spot for a quick, incredibly satisfying lunch. It's not the place for a long, lavish dining experience. If you're a sushi purist who prioritizes amazing fish over fancy ambiance, this is your new go-to spot. I will be back again and again ”

“ i was skeptical about this small restaurant from a distance at first. however, i was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, and the prices were appropriate for the portion sizes. here are some that i’ve tried: salmon bento (4.5/5): very good portion for its price, and super delicious too! comes with a bit of chicken karaage as well. chicken karaage (5/5): with a little bit of salt and pepper, this karaage has to be one of the best i’ve tasted. salmon sashimi don (5/5): fresh salmon, with a very nice layer of salmon paste(?). i’m not sure, but this one has to be my favourite thus far. combine it with the chicken karaage and you’ve got a dream. salmon dragon roll (4/5): very delicious roll! chicken curry udon (3.5/5): not the best, but still enjoyable. waiters and staff were pleasant. had vibes of a typical japanese sushi restaurant, nothing very special. but had an enjoyable time. ”
