Amazing little place with incredible food and warm service
Well worth it
Visiting our son in Manchester he took us for our first Japanese cuisine experience. The place wasn't busy so a table could be found. The food was enjoyable and surprisingly filling. Waiters were helpful in explaining some of the menu options. Variety is wide. One option is to have a number of the lovely starters almost as Japanese "tapas".
Just a point - they only accept cash (no cards), but that is advertised on the door so there's no mistake
We went for a quick bite to eat and ended up absolutely sozzled on their warm sake
I loved the sashimi boat - the fish was tasty and very fresh
They make sushi in front of your eyes and it's to die for - definitely recommend to visit
went last night after daughter keeps going on about it . great service and the food is awesome well worth a visit, left suitably stuffed can't wait til next time
This is the Japanese restaurant to go to in Manchester. The food is authentic, as home made, with fair pricing and decor reminiscent of small, family run businesses in Japan. Highly recommend it.
Inside the place is essentially laid out like a normal take away but with tables inside. Good selection of sushi (including sashimi), very cheap. Good for a quick bite and the service was good. Wasn’t a particularly clean restaurant but all things considered I would go back because the food was decent and it’s hard to find good sushi
MelbourneHeart. This place has incredible japanese food, despite being owned by what I'm guessing is a chinese/cantonese family, they pull off lovely japanese flavours with choice cut ingredients. One of my favourite places to eat in Withington.
After our lovely starters we had pretty high expectations but our mains definitely exceeded them! I had ordered the Nabe Tofu and I was intrigued when they brought over a massive table mat for mine saying mine would be pretty hot. When my Nabe arrived I realised that this was because my meal was cooked in a "hot posh dish" which was like a clay pot with a lid which meant the pot and food inside were super dooper hot.

Manchester’s not particularly well known for its Japanese food, but with certain dishes, Kyotoya might just produce the best the city has to offer.
Food from here is always great. Family run business cooking with passion!
Recommend salt and pepper ribs, tempura prawns and the gyoza.
Eat in or takeaway very authentic and very good.
This is going to be my favourite Japanese place in Manchester now. The food is AMAZING, staff is FANTASTIC, generous portions for good price.
I had chicken katsu curry which was fantastic. Then takoyaki (it's hard to find it so must try), veg tempura, edamame. My partner had chicken ramen and it came as huge portion, never seen so big ramen portions.
I'll definitely come back many times. We went on Wednesday night and it was very busy. Strongly recommend, thank you.
Edit: went again and once again the food was fantastic!

On arrival, we immediately were given a warm welcome from the sushi master and his staff! The food itself was good quality, fresh and made to order! Great atmosphere, such a hidden gem! 10/10, it wasn't our first visit and it certainly won't be our last!
This small restaurant is a real gem 💎
We have been coming here since it opened.
Where else can you get a meal prepared in front of you for three people. Five starters, three mains, two bottles of wine and a beer for 90 pounds.
Outstanding on all fronts.
What a hidden gem! My friend spoke about this place for agesss and finally got to go. We did a fully vegetarian meal and it was soooo good! Highly recommend the veggie tempura and sweet and sour tofu! Will definitely be back. Really well priced as well!
Managed to get the one table outside in the sun. Ordered the sushi platter which was huge and pretty good value, and the glass of wine couldn't have been filled any higher. Seems like a small family run place with the father cooking and son serving, definitely heading back to try more of the menu
The place was busy when we came so it took a while to get seated and then it took a while to get menus but we didn’t mind because they were rushed but when it calmed the service was great. The food was really nice and cooked right in front of you more or less and the staff came around and were attentive. I think for me the main allure of this restaurant was the decor and the authenticity. It was also a nice touch having the 16pc sushi served in a wooden boat. We look forward to going again 🍱👌🏼👌🏼
Amazing little family run business. Simply one of the best sushi in Greater Manchester. Don’t expect anything fancy, but food is divine!
I used to use this place regularly prior to COVID. Always enjoyed it's honesty. Returned this week with my now 16 years old daughter. Beautiful delicious tuna sushi. Great ramen bowls. My only criticism would be that the portions (ramen) were huge. They could be half the size and still be great value for money. We struggled to eat it all. My daughter loves her food but was overfaced.
However we will definitely return but may only have one course. Which would be a shame.
I love this place and the owners are great. But I do wish they would take card payments. I am so glad the business survived through COVID upheaval.
This has been one of the best Japanese dining experience, very authentic. Their mixed sushi platter was balanced and beautifully presented. Chicken gyozas were juicy and felt like we could eat it whole night. The surprise came in a package of Itame, very delicious sizzling hot platter of vegetables. Never tasted such delicious tofu!
The ambience of the place is very friendly and welcoming. The chef/owner makes sure you are having good time. Whenever I crave Japanese food in Manchester, I know where to go ☺️.
Fantastic, freshly prepared, full of amazing taste Japanese food. It's an experience. I absolutely loved it, will be coming back. Thank You
