A myriad of things that went wrong but mainly it was down to a lack of customer service. The customer service was dreadful and we were not treated equitably. The manager took our order and stated he would look after our table and then did a dissappearing act David Blaine would be proud of not to be seen again. We were given no condiments yet all other tables had them, we were also given 5 plates and 7 glasses yet there were 8 of us so the attention to detail was non existent. I had to ask for mayonnaise 3 times and eventually got it after the 4th attmept asking for it. We also asked for BBQ sauce numerous times and never received it. The trend of asking numerous times to get something continued as we had to ask for the bill 4 times and were made to wait 25 minutes for such a simple request before it was finally done. It is very disheartening and beggars belief that such an estabalished dinery can treat their customers with such disregard.

Set in the heart of Manchester city centre, you will find our relaxed, intimate sushi bar offering an unparalleled dining experience through fresh, inspired creations. At the very core of our service offering is freshness and quality – in our ideas and our produce. Our skilled chefs are always striving to push the boundaries of the menu in innovative ways, to excite the palate of our customers and bring you Japanese dining at its very best. You can discover tempting hot dishes such as Taiwanese pork rice, Japanese Wagyu beef, daily special fish board. And choose from a plethora of sumptuous sides... While on the drinks menu, an impressive selection of beverages includes Japanese Koshu wines – probably their debut appearance in Manchester! We are happy to recommend, so please ask! Reservations highly recommended.

We ate with the local builders after deciding to go for a cheap full English. Was great food in an interesting old building. About to be demolished though in the next few weeks, so get there quickly! And leave your coat on, there's no heating!
