About New Samsi
Manchester’s New Samsi is a well established restaurant widely agreed to serve “the best Japanese food in the North West”, to quote the Manchester Metro. The basement is home to Samsi Express, a modern space designed for casual eating, and a colourful Japanese supermarket. Upstairs, traditional dugout style seating lends itself to slightly more formal dining. Here an exciting menu lists a huge range of dishes from every corner of Japan. The teriyaki dishes are highly recommended; the sushi fabulous. New dishes are frequently introduced. A weakening of the Japanese Yen has kept prices low, making the New Samsi experience excellent value. You'll find the original Samsi in Cheshire.New Samsi runs a buffet instead of the a la carte menu on Sunday lunch times.

Four of us went in the end and had the samsi set menu and there was ample food. Would like to go back and try something less generic, but the tempura was lovely. Great service and the deep set tables which give you the sense of sitting on the floor were a nice touch but difficult to do wearing a skirt! The shop in the basement is like a treasure chest well worth a look on the way from the bizarre toilets. great place to introduce friends to Japanese food!Review
The food at Samsi was excellent as was the service we received. It was a very enjoyable experience marred only by the fact that the staff seem unaware of 'top table's offer'. You are therefore offered the standard early diner offer although this applies any time if you have booked. Thsi is perhaps better value than 'top table's offer' in any event but a little confusing.All in all a lovely meal out.Review
table for 7 on a huge hangover - the sushi was perfect, the tempura light and tasty and 25% off the a la carte menu made the bill really reasonable - New Samsi is usually is my great but pricey pile - not any more! oh - and the UV toilets are brilliant - maybe not on a hangover but much amusing...Visitors
