Samsi Yakitori

Our review:
Samsi Yakitori has spent the last thirteen years trying to convert Mancunian tastebuds to the joys of Japanese and, judging by the amount of critical acclaim the restaurant has received, they're managing to do just that. A no-nonsense menu balances favourites like tempura and noodle dishes with the exotic and substantial selection of sushi, and the staff are more than happy to coach beginners through dishes. The food itself has been called "the best Japanese in the northwest by a country mile" too – altogether, a fantastic choice.
