I've been a loyal patron of this Japanese gem for years, and with every visit, my appreciation for its culinary excellence only deepens. From the moment you step through the doors, you're greeted with the warmest hospitality, instantly whisked away to the heart of Japan.
The menu is a masterpiece, boasting an array of traditional dishes expertly crafted with the finest ingredients. Whether you're indulging in the delicate flavors of sushi and sashimi, savoring the rich complexity of ramen, or delighting in the artistry of the Teriyaki Don (a personal favourite) you're bound to find something you love.
But it's not just about the food; it's the entire dining experience. The ambiance is serene yet vibrant, creating the perfect backdrop for intimate dinners or lively gatherings. The attentive staff adds to the charm, ensuring every need is met with grace and efficiency. It's a calm spot in the heart of the city.
In a city bustling with dining options, this restaurant stands out as a beacon of excellence. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur of Japanese cuisine or a newcomer eager to explore its wonders, this is the place to be.
Thank you for consistently exceeding expectations and being there to be our go to favourite restaurant, year after year!

I went to Samsi with my friend Yvonne. I can't comment on the atmosphere because it was very quiet when we were there. It was about 4.45 on a Thursday. We both had the vegetarian Gyoza to start with and then we had the Salmon with boiled rice and both courses were delicious. The staff were friendly and made us very welcome and the service was excellent. We will definitely go again and would highly recommend Samsi.

Food was 95% perfect being the seaweed salad having a very peculiar chlorine taste. The atmosphere only held 4 stars as the entire place smelt of bleach. I get it. Its clean throughout but the smell is not pleasant throughout the entire eatery and the entire time. The rest of the food could almost be outweighed and the service impeccable to say the least as the servers were all attentive, quick and meticulous. Would still definitely go again in future.

Lovely food. My first time to a Japanese restaurant. The food was great. We went for a platter of different items. The only strange thing was the green tea flavoured ice cream for dessert.
Would definitely recommend and visit again.

💯% Recommended.
You need to try this restaurant. 😉😉
Staff are friendly.
Food cooked very fresh and serve very quick!
The restaurant is a massive building, so you have a space between the tables.

My first review in a while and I am so excited to be writing about my experience at Samsi Manchester.
My friend and I came here for our girls weekend brunch and it was better than our expectations too!!
Alright so we had one of the 10 piece platters- Sushi, Sashimi, Norimaki 🍣 to start with alongside a warmed bottle of sake 🍶 ☺️to share of course! We could taste the freshness of the sushi and cravings were happily satisfied.
From the main menu we decided to go down the path of Donburi! As we had both been craving this particular dish for the longest time. Choosing the Katsudon and Unadon which tasted 10/10… alongside stir fryed udon( s/o to the chef for making this variation for us ❤️) just amazing also came with miso soup which we had after the meal.
Of course!!Dessert, cheesecake(New York cheesecake on the menu)at a Japanese restaurant umm? Yes please!!! Also 10/10
Overall, beautiful interior- it really takes you to another world intimately and having the chance to enjoy authentic Japanese in all its entity. One of my best food memories for sure.
Be sure to check them out, perfect settings for date nights, weekend brunch!They also offer large bookings for celebrations as well!!
I 100% recommend Samsi, and will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu. The customer service was also 10/10 which is really important!
Also if you live around the area, you can place an order for your slice of authentic Japanese and have it delivered too!! Convenient, perfect for homeboys and takeaway evenings 💗

I went here last month just before my train as it’s close to Picadilly Station and had a suitcase, the hostess took it for me to store during my meal which was so so thoughtful! The food came quickly and tasted delicious - I also tried some of the chicken yakisoba noodles and they were amazing. The customer service was absolutely lovely and the portion sizes were good :)
The actual restaurant itself was so pretty and clean, I cannot stress enough how much I recommend Samsi for a meal
