Opened in Spinningfields in April 2015, this incredibly stunning Oriental restaurant takes its influence from different styles of body art, and this is reflected in everything from the captivating Edwin Pickett designed interior to the expertly crafted Andrew Lassetter created menu. Both the Head Chef and Head Dim Sum Chef have been sourced from London's renowned Hakkasan Group and the whole dining experience is, without doubt, one of the best in Manchester city centre with various Japanese dishes on the largely Chinese-influenced menu.

The out-of-this-world £4.5 million Thai influenced Asian fusion restaurant near the Etihad Stadium in Miles Platting, just 10 mins taxi ride from Piccadilly Station, is the most spectacular restaurant and bar to have ever opened in Manchester. Like something out of a James Bond movie, the incredibly impressive dining arena is without doubt one of the best in Europe and was designed by Miguel Cancio Martins, the design house behind the famous Buddha Bar in Paris, the Alain Ducasse Crystal restaurant in Marrakech and Johnny Depp, Sean Penn, John Malkovich and Mick Hucknall's Man Ray in Paris.

Opened in August 2016, this American fine dining restaurant, close to Spinningfields, introduces experience at every level through beautiful bespoke cocktails, carefully crafted dishes, and live performances showcasing dancers, acrobats, singers, musicians, drag acts, burlesque artists, and contortionists on the catwalk in the middle of the restaurant. Dishes offer a U.S. interpretation of mainly Japanese dishes like Tempura Sea Bass, Open Temaki Tacos, Torched Scallop Aburi, and Sashimi Grade Tuna, alongside sushi boxes, gourmet burgers, steaks, and seafood.

With two floors, two bars, two kitchens and a capacity of 440, the impressive Pan Asian sister to Ocean Treasure, features an open kitchen with two Teppanyaki sections and a fresh sushi counter surrounding an island Robata grill. Dishes are made to order in front of your eyes by the specialist chefs using traditional Sushi, Robata, Tempura and Teppanyaki skills and served tapas style. Next to the Albert Hall, Opera House and Manchester Central, it is the perfect place for pre-theatre dining, or why not treat yourself to a Pan-Asian twist on Afternoon Tea.

The superb Japanese restaurant in Castlefield, opposite the Museum of Science & Industry, boasts a unique dining experience with all the theatre style of Teppanyaki cooking, ideal for large parties. The talented show chefs entertain you and encourage you to get involved, or a plush separate dining area offers more intimacy with incredible sushi, sashimi and noodle dishes to choose from.
