Reviews in Manchester Chinatown

For the most authentic Japanese flavours, the winner is far and away Yuzu, which was the only restaurant that made me think of Japan, of the people I knew there, and the restaurants in which we ate.

Delicious authentic Japanese food in a genuine izakaya atmosphere…I try to eat here at least once a week whilst working away from home…My wife’s Japanese, the food here is every bit as good as the home cooking I miss…highly recommended!

Very delicious and authentic Japanese food. Friendly Staff and good prices. It was worth it just to have agedashi tofu ! I would highly recommend this restaurant

As a Japanese, I *highly* recommend Yuzu-san. I went there yesterday, and it was really authentic. So far, I have tried many Japanese restaurants in the UK, almost all of which were not very authentic. Yuzu-san is the best. The price is simply the same as the other "Japanese" restaurants in Manchester (i.e., cost-benefit is awesome).

I've been living in Manchester for 10 years, and none of the so-called "Japanese" restaurants have impressed me. They are flashy, but not truly Japanese, and not even close to those you find in London. Yuzu is the real thing, a proper Japanese restaurant where Japanese people like myself appreciates the effort! The tempura is great, not greasy at all but light and crispy - as it should be, but so many restaurants get it wrong. Same can be said for the tonkatsu, which was thick and crispy yet done to perfection and still juicy. Highly recommended, and hats off to the chef!!

Went here at the weekend - as others have said this was easily the best Japanese food in Manchester. So why was it nearly empty when other IMO inferior Japanese places are packed out?

Yuzu food was lovely. Service was really friendly and they gave us a free taster of a Japanese chicken stew which was delicious, then told us all the vegetables that were in it. It was so nice, shame that it was so quiet on a Saturday night. GO!! It's really great.

Authentic, non-pretentious Japanese food. Very good quality, highly recommended. (I'm Japanese, by the way)

I love Japanese food and was taken here by my boyfriend . the food is presented beautifully and tastes wonderful. Great place for a romantic night.

The most authentic Japanese food I've had in Manchester (and I lived in Japan for 5 years). Highly recommended.
