  “A lovely first time visit - food was really good and service was great. We booked a table in the tatami area for the two of us which was a nice authentic touch - will definitely be back.”

  “Atmosphere and food are amazing. Me and my two friends think about the food so often we have come back several times. Very warm and comforting food and environment and staff are lovely. We spend around £30 each including multiple drinks, a starter and main meal each (after splitting it 3 ways) so the prices are honestly not bad. Definitely worth it would recommend 100x over.”

  “What a fantastic find for my daughters 13th birthday. We booked a Tatami room for the 4 of us and she just loved it, with the added bonus of dressing up in traditional kimono. The food was incredible, deliciously fresh and a fantastic variety to choose from. My daughter especially loved the make your own Macha drink. Even my youngest who is a fussy eater found something she liked to eat. Our waitress couldn't do enough for us and the chef even came to check on us all and offer birthday wishes. We will certainly be back. Thank you 🙏”

  “We went to Zen Sushiya for the first time for my son's birthday and what a wonderful experience we had. I cannot praise the staff enough, they made his night so special, like they couldn't do enough. The tatami room was so much fun and the food was delicious too. I didn't have sushi myself, but the kids mentioned that the fish on the nigiri was really chunky, which they were over the moon with, so the chef is certainly not tight with it. The juice coolers were so good we ended up ordering some more. Thanks so much, we will definitely be back!”

  “Lovely restaurant in an unassuming location! They offer a wide variety of sushi made of great quality products, which tastes great. They also offer quite a few Japanese spirits and soft drinks. My favourite was the Chinese dare and langan juice, it was incredible! I also noticed they have a diy matcha service with various flavours, which seems cool. The interior is very authentic, with kimonos on the side and small individual booths that give you and your group privacy. They are in a traditional style. The service is also fast, the ladies in the kitchen are killing it with how fast they make everything.”

  “One of the best places I've had the fortune of visiting, from the quality of food to the cleanliness of the restaurant everything was outstanding. I have eaten sushi at several different restaurants across the world, and honestly this is without a doubt the best. Staff are incredibly helpful when it comes to ordering, even if you're picky eater they'll find something perfect for you! I'd just like to give a special shout-out to Head Chef "Amanda" for her incredible skills and outstanding hospitality. Thank you so much the Zen Sushiya team for an incredible birthday meal that I will ensure it will become a tradition.”

  “Absolutely amazing, above expectation and had an amazing time. The service was outstanding, staff were attentive and kind, i felt like a spoilt child while they were taking care if of our group. The matcha making, the kimonos (absolutely stunning), the atmosphere. Each aspect is well thought out and worth the visit. Will most definitely be recommending this place!!”

  “This place needs more stars, my family of 7 went to try this place out all the way from Leeds and it didn’t disappoint. The freshest seafood and sushi I have ever had in the North. The booking system was faulty and so they were not ready to have such big orders from us, but they managed gracefully and the chef even came out to apologise for how slow the food was coming out - though this was not an issue for us as we enjoyed catching up. Once the booking system is up and running we would love to get one of their private rooms next time (traditional Japanese rooms) for a small group. They also had Kimono’s 👘 which was great to take pictures with in the beautiful setting”

  “We chose Zen Sushiya Restaurant in Withington for my daughter to celebrate her 16th birthday with her friends and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. It’s a truly family-friendly restaurant with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made the occasion feel special and relaxed. For a group of 12 the service was excellent—attentive, friendly, and genuinely thoughtful. The food was exquisite and beautifully prepared. The Dragon Roll sushi was outstanding, the gyoza were perfectly cooked and the yakisoba noodles tasted lovely. As a special touch they even gifted the birthday girl a charming bracelet! 10/10 for food, service and atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back again and highly recommend Zen Sushiya to anyone looking for exceptional food (inc halal) and service.”
