Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The food is amazing, I tried the ramen and some sushi and they are all good."
  • "Food was fantastic."
  • "Delicious japanese food and amazing value."
  • "the food was SUPERB, surpassed our expectations for sushi on conveyor belt."
  • "Absolutely delicious. I had the chicken yakisoba and my bf had the chicken katsu curry."
  • "Incredible food, super cheap and really nice staff."
  • "One of the best if not the best Sushi bar i have had the pleasure of dining."
  • "The food tastes great and it accommodates for those with different food requirements such as vegan options, allergy menu etc."

Cons:

  • "Not amazing, I had high hopes because of all the reviews but the conveyor belt sushi definitely wasn't up to par."
  • "Cheaper than yo-sushi. Tonkotsu broth is too salty and pork slices are too thin."
  • "Some of it wasn't particularly fresh. The food is left out on conveyour belts and it's difficult to say how long some of the dishes have been left out for."
  • "Food was delicious. A tight squeeze but dividers between groups which is good. The sushi train was a great novelty for the kids and adults alike."
  • "Ramen was better than sushi on belt. Super big portion if you order a set."
  • "Unfortunately had a very negative experience dining there. We got given the prawn tempura when we asked for the veggie."
  • "Service was appalling as nobody came to take our order for 20 minutes and even then drinks took a good half an hour for just two cokes."
  • "The food is decent, not exceptional, but it's acceptable. However, the dessert place is truly impressive!"

Service

Pros:

  • "Loved the conveyor belt experience and the staff were lovely us."
  • "You sit around the sushi carousel and pick whatever you like. You can order mains with the service staff and service is pretty fast."
  • "even though i went at peak times and or was quite busy, the servers were all really friendly and attentive."
  • "The only thing I don't like about Wazushi is the music they often play in there, which is why I gave atmosphere 4* instead of 5*."
  • "The staff are very kind and the prices are very reasonable and not too expensive at all."
  • "The staff were so friendly & happy to talk about the food which is really nice."
  • "The waitstaff are fantastic and friendly, and are always there to help you out, great service even during very busy hours!"
  • "Service was impeccable! Will be returning tomorrow or the next day and when we are in Manchester in the future!"

Cons:

  • "Queued for about 45 mins outside hence 4/5 on service."
  • "We had to wait outside for about 20/25 minutes, but the queue moved quickly."
  • "Absolutely destroyed all of my favourite memories in the past eating at Wasabi back in the day."
  • "good service, but wait time can be long (35+ mins) if you go at a busy time as a couple or group."
  • "Good value sushi that taste good. Place is busy so you'll need to queue before you sit down."
  • "Asked for 4 chairs today, we were told there was a 20 minute wait, I gave the waitress my name and she said she’d call me in 20 minutes."
  • "Service wasn't great but not awful either, maybe the layout of the restaurant doesn't really help."
  • "Usually have to wait about 10 mins at busy times like dinner, and especially when in a group since it's a sushi train."

Ambiance and Space

Pros:

  • "Great place to go on a date as the place in itself is a good ice breaker."
  • "The place is abit small but I guess that is an experience in itself."
  • "What a brilliant find this is - the warm, friendly atmosphere and communal dining give a real homely feel to the place."
  • "Wazuzhi (formerly known as Wasabi) in Chinatown, Manchester, is an absolute delight! The moving sushi conveyor belt adds an element of fun to the dining experience."

Cons:

  • "However, the space is too small and we are struggling to get to the seat due to limited area."
  • "The only reason for the 4* is because it can feel very cramped, there isn't much space to move at times."
  • "The only downside is the small space of the seats you're sat along the wall (be prepared to bang into people when you're going to your seat)."
  • "The place is popular so you may have to wait."
  • "It's a better cheaper version of YO Sushi. The whole tempura crab and the rib eye yakisoba were mind blowing."
  • "The sushi was amazing and really generous portions. The tuna one in the picture was my absolute favourite."
  • "It’s really a good price to have a lunch in weekdays at the center of Manchester."
  • "This place is amazing, been here multiple times over the years and I always love the food- the restaurant and the dessert room are both great quality."
