Samsi

Amazing quality fresh food, great hospitality. It was our anniversary and they presented us with a lovely ice cream dessert wishing us a happy anniversary. Overall, great experience, everyone so kind and lovely.

My first review in a while and I am so excited to be writing about my experience at Samsi Manchester.

My friend and I came here for our girls weekend brunch and it was better than our expectations too!!

Alright so we had one of the 10 piece platters- Sushi, Sashimi, Norimaki 🍣 to start with alongside a warmed bottle of sake 🍶 ☺️to share of course! We could taste the freshness of the sushi and cravings were happily satisfied.

From the main menu we decided to go down the path of Donburi! As we had both been craving this particular dish for the longest time. Choosing the Katsudon and Unadon which tasted 10/10… alongside stir fryed udon( s/o to the chef for making this variation for us ❤️) just amazing also came with miso soup which we had after the meal.

Of course!!Dessert, cheesecake(New York cheesecake on the menu)at a Japanese restaurant umm? Yes please!!! Also 10/10

Overall, beautiful interior- it really takes you to another world intimately and having the chance to enjoy authentic Japanese in all its entity. One of my best food memories for sure.

Be sure to check them out, perfect settings for date nights, weekend brunch!They also offer large bookings for celebrations as well!!

I 100% recommend Samsi, and will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu. The customer service was also 10/10 which is really important!

Also if you live around the area, you can place an order for your slice of authentic Japanese and have it delivered too!! Convenient, perfect for homeboys and takeaway evenings 💗

I went here last month just before my train as it’s close to Picadilly Station and had a suitcase, the hostess took it for me to store during my meal which was so so thoughtful! The food came quickly and tasted delicious - I also tried some of the chicken yakisoba noodles and they were amazing. The customer service was absolutely lovely and the portion sizes were good :)

The actual restaurant itself was so pretty and clean, I cannot stress enough how much I recommend Samsi for a meal

Great selection of sushi and other dishes, some were on our taste some not. But it's fine, we still liked the place and will come back. Service was excellent, all waiters were very nice and accommodating. Loved the decor aswell.

Unbelievably disgusting.
Ordered through Uber Eats, spent £45 on 2 Ramens and a tray of veggie sushi and every single item is bland and tasteless. The noodles are that overcooked they are mush, the broth is basically just water, you get 1 piece of pak choi with the ramen and no other veg, the meat is sour and smells off and the sushi looks like it was prepared last week. Do not waste your money here. (I added the sesame seeds and other oils to try and make the food taste of something!!!)

I've seen better sushi in a petrol station

I've just been through and read the majority of the bad reviews and the replies from the management team are absolutely appalling, you can learn a lot about a venue by how the staff speak to customers, I'm really glad I didn't dine in.

Edit: I received a full refund from Uber Eats

Edit 2: I knew I would get a pathetic excuse from the staff. Travelling makes food loose it's taste 🤣🤣 I've never heard such nonsense. I've had better, more flavourful ramen/pho from further away and where the noodles remained intact and not the consistency of kitchen sink drain pasta.

Attentive and polite service. Food was good. Staff was efficient. Nice restaurant decor. Lots of vegetarian options. The plum wine was quite good too. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

I've been coming here since 2017 before visiting Japan. I wanted to experience Japanese food before visiting the country. We did some research and found this restaurant in Manchester about 35 miles away from us. I just can't say enough about the staff. Ever since our first visit they've been so kind and friendly. Were on first name terms and they often ask how we're doing when we post on Facebook. The service is the best I've enjoyed in Manchester. The food is authentic to the Japanese recipe and having visited Tokyo, the Tonkotsu Pork Ramen always makes me think of Japan. It tastes exactly as it should and authentic. The quality of the food is incredibly high as if the standard of the restaurant in general. I've never had a complaint in six years and I've have so many good memories. My little boy loves every visit and he's made friends with so many people here. I don't often eat out, especially with the cost of living going up. But when I can, I'll happy make the trip to come back, no questions asked. Especially when it's your birthday and they remembered and surprise you with a nice iced cream! ❤️❤️
