Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Manchester Ship Canal

"Run by Dave Abe and his Japanese father, this hidden-away restaurant is one of Liverpool’s best kept foodie secrets. Set up by the pair when they noticed the lack of quality Japanese food in the North-West of England, Etsu hired the very best specialty chefs they could find and set about introducing Scousers to high-quality, authentic Japanese dishes. With over 70 years of restaurant experience between the staff, relax in Etsu’s cosy atmosphere and enjoy some jaw-dropping Japanese food, including traditional bento boxes for lunch, delicious curries such as Tonkatsu and Torikatsu, Udon soup noodle bowls and much, much more."

"Japanese cuisine has a reputation for being healthy so it’s no surprise that Liverpool’s best Japanese restaurant, ETSU has made the cut for healthy eating in Liverpool. Serving authentic Japanese food, ETSU is open from lunch to dinner with sushi, gyoza’s, miso soup and udon dishes. If you’re working in the business district of the city and fancy picking up a healthy lunch, we recommend opting for the bento box which comes with salad, rice and potatoes."

"Hidden from the main road within the concrete confines of Beetham Plaza, this A1 Japanese restaurant is easy to overlook. It's not a budget choice at night but, at lunchtime, it dispenses a variety of sub-£10 bento boxes. Served with rice, salad, steamed vegetables and a terrific tangle of sweet 'n' sour pickled cucumber, the pan-fried sea bass was excellent, its skin crisp, the lusciously thick ponzu dressing memorable."

"Sapporo Teppanyaki on Duke Street is not just a restaurant but a form of entertainment too. In the restaurant theatrical chefs cook teppanyaki at diners’ tables, so customers are in for a show as well as some food.
