kyotoya

really loved this place but wish their sushi menu was more variety don’t get me wrong the sushi is amazing very fresh and tasty but find it just boring

the food is unbelievably fresh and is amazing value for money, the atmosphere and staff are friendly and cozy and the owner/chef is a real character. couldn’t recommend kyotoya enough, it’s a real manchester institution!

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

amazing little place with incredible food and warm service

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

food is nice, but the person answer the phone, dont speak english, and when you order they talk in cinese without worry about you wait in the phone

foods there can not be called japanese food. most of the dishes are not japanese style. even the chief there is a chinese instead of japanese. i went that place with my friend on 27th august. i have to say the owner did spend a lot of time on decorations to make the restaurant look like a japanese one. i think they should spend more time on how to make food better rather than others. in japan, people learn years to make sushi for customers. however, in kyotoya, they even allowed the waiter serving my table to make sushi to sell. it was unbelievable. the food appeared just like it had been thrown there with no sense.

apart from the food, the hygiene in that restaurant was also horrible. the food display was messy and dirty. the toilet in that restaurant was extremely dirty and it looked like it hadn't had a proper clean for months.

this is the worst restaurant i've never seen in my all life and i would never suggest to anyone to go there especially with young children.

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.

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.

i was pretty happy when it lived up to expectations. talking cheap eats, you need to get the deal for 2 for £22. for £11 each, you share the following courses: miso soup, sushi, gyoza, chicken teryiaki and beef kimchi

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.

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.
