Yuzu Manchester in Manchester

Do you like tapas?I went to Manchester to meet up an ex-colleague and he suggested to have a dinner @yuzumanchester which is a Japanese tapas bar located in Manchester Chinatown. Most of my friends know that I love eating starters and so tapas is perfect for me.@yuzumanchester📍 City Centre, 39 Faulkner St, Manchester M1 4EEWHAT WE GOT🍥Agedashi Tofu🥗Daikon Salad🐟Assorted Sashimi🥟Prawn Gyoza🍗Karaage Assorted Tempura🍜Veg Yaki UdonAgedashi Tofu was authentic with Tsuyu sauce. Silky tofu lightly coated with flour and deep fried. It’s flavourful ♥️♥️♥️Daikon salad included grated Japanese radish, seaweed, edamame and served with yuzu dressing. It’s so refreshing 😍😍😍Assorted Sashimi included salmon, tuna, scallops and shrimps. Among all, I loved the scallops the most coz’ it’s soft and sweet. All of them were so fresh. Love it♥️♥️♥️Karaage used chicken thigh which was well seasoned and deep fried to golden brown. It came with ponzu dipping sauce which decreased the greasiness and enhanced the flavour. It’s a perfect combination ♥️♥️♥️Assorted Tempura consisted king prawns and seasonal vegetables which encased in a very light and airy batter. The tempura was golden crispy without excess oil and soft & juicy inside. Perfect♥️♥️♥️After some Japanese Tapas, we finished up with the Veg Yaki Udon. The udon was springy and soft and I loved this texture a lot How’s the gyoza? See me next post on Instagram @ccgyozalover for details 🤗Tapa is an appetiser but you can combine Tapas to make a full meal. What’s your favourite tapa?

Fantastic little place with great staff that are clearly working hard. I had 4 of the little plates and all of them were absolutely knockout! My first time in Manchester and as and when I make it back here, I shall be coming straight back to yuzu.

this place is a gem! a simple, small setting with nice ambiance. we had salmon don and a large set of sashimi - the fish tasted so fresh and the portion was good. the miso soup that came with the salmon don may have been the tastiest miso soup i’ve had :) just wished there were sweet prawns in our sashimi platter as mentioned in the menu, but i think we got extra salmon sashimi to compensate, so that’s fine. again, we really loved the fish here! would be amazing if they served sushi

On a Saturday night, my three friends and I arrived for the first time. We didn't make a reservation, but when someone didn't show up, they gave us a table. The service was excellent! I'm not sure what her name was, but she was incredibly lovely and remembered every special detail on the menu. We all agreed that the dinner was delicious. We split a cheese platter, which I highly recommend because the cheeses and bacon jam were delicious. I had fish, which was cooked to perfection. We cannot wait to return!

The food is always exceptional. I have been going here for a couple of years now and I can never fault it. It's excellent value for money especially for the quality of ingredients the restaurant uses. The decor is authentic and the small restaurant feels intimate. 100% Recommend.

Smaller inside than it looks on the outside, the decor is quite nice in a basic way. Although the place has won several awards, and the food is justifiably quite nice (5 Stars) it has been marked down due to the long wait for your food to arrive (several contacts have stated this problem). In my case, it took over an hour for the mains to arrive - 2 Salmon Dons (left picture) & a Pork Fried Udon (right picture). At the time, the waitress said it was due to large parties before us (attracted perhaps because of the good food on offer). Also, 3 mains, plus 2 starter, with 3 drinks also came in at over £54.0 - a little pricey !

This was my first experience at an authentic Japanese Restaurant. The Sake was very good. The food was also very nice. Friendly staff and good service.

Great first time experience here, the food was really special and the lunch offers were good value for money.Though if you’re coming here for I highly suggest you wear a big coat as it’s freezing inside.Another thing I picked up on is all my clothes stank of a cooking fat frier for the rest of the day which was annoying, considering we were only here for an hour, maybe check the extractor fan in the kitchen.

Definitely heavily overrated, the food is simply mediocre, pork Katsu is overcooked and dry, prawn tempura simply isn’t using the right prawn, agedashi tofu the broth is too light; tableware and interior feels Japanese though

It's been a while and miss coming here food is generally of a good standard, prices are reasonable and portions average. The best thing here personally is the tempura although everything else is also good. I can easily spend £40plus on food here for a meal. Opened by Japanese ppl as opposed to Chinese serving Japanese food, which means you will get an authentic experience. The rice bowls I feel are a little small but you can taste the quality in the ingredients. My only complaint is the chicken karage pieces are massive and often I feel is only just cooked or maybe even slightly under sometimes. Definitely the best Japanese restaurant in Manchester run by Japanese. 8/10
