Quick info
About Unagi Street Food & Sushi Altrincham
Unagi Street Food & Sushi Altrincham is a pan-asian restaurant at 1A Central Way in Altrincham town centre, pairing hand-rolled sushi with a street food menu. A chef finishes the nigiri with a blow torch, so guests can watch part of the sushi being prepared. Sashimi and sushi platters sit alongside the rolls, which suits sharing across a table. On the hot side, yakisoba noodles come from the wok, and the katsu curry has a tofu katsu version that serves the curry on the side for those avoiding meat. The drinks list includes Sapporo beer and Pinot Grigio to go with the food.

Customer Review Summary
Sushi is what reviewers mention most, described as fresh, beautifully presented and made with skill, with one diner singling out the sashimi in a 40 piece omakase where the chef shaped the number 16 from the pieces for a daughter's birthday. Close behind are the starters, with crispy squid, both salt and pepper and crispy chilli with spicy mayo, praised as crispy and not oily. Yakisoba, tofu katsu with curry on the side, raw fish tacos and udon also draw approval, and a couple of diners pair their meal with Sapporo beer. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly and attentive, from the bartender to servers who explained the menu and offered a table switch away from the front door. The one criticism is that the mains were less convincing for one reviewer, who found the udon needed more flavour and the pork ramen too salty, though they still enjoyed the meal and plan to return. One reviewer watched a team member plate nigiri with a blow torch.

“My daughter and I had a beautiful meal at Unagi, the service was fab from the minute we walked in and we were offered to switch table as we're near the front door. The food was absolutely delicious, we will be back!!”

“The staff at Unagi elevate the experience. From the greeting smile from the manager and everyone I interacted with. The barman super efficient and friendly and Nadia taking the time to explain the menu, offer advice and always attentive and smiling. The food presentation is fantastic. So appealing and such care taken and the flavours are fabulous. The Yakisoba came piping hot and fresh from the wok. There was a gentleman preparing and plating some nigiri (whilst using a blow torch which I’d never seen before). The pride and care that he has in work was plain to see. This attitude seems to be with each team member at Unagi. Don’t lose it - we notice it and we love it! Thank you to everyone in the kitchen. I had a glass of Sapporo beer and a glass of Pinot Grigio with my meal. I had a lovely experience and would recommend that you visit .”

“On our way to the Ice Hockey in Altrincham we called here for late lunch and took advantage of the winter offer of noodles / udon for £10… Plus raw fish tacos to share. The place is spotlessly clean, tables positioned in a way to give space and a view of the hustle and bustle of the comings and goings of happy guests. The two guys on service were great, friendly, knowledgeable and understood we had somewhere to go - perfect! The food and drinks arrived quickly and with aplomb, tacos were delicious and the udon noodles hot, tasty and deeply satisfying. No room or time pud but we will deffo be back. Thanks team Lovely”
