Japanese restaurant in Liverpool

“My daughter and I stumbled on this restaurant run by the college and we were very pleased at the discovery. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. The restaurant was very clean and nicely presented. The staff are all in training, they're friendly and trying hard, so give them a little patience and they'll be good.”

“Absolutely delicious! Bursting with flavour and a touch of Sri Lankan warmth 'The Lions Liverpool' is a must-visit.”

“Dining at Ayuthaya was an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a wonderful evening. The food was authentic and bursting with flavor — the Thai Green Curry and Duck in Tamarind Sauce were standout dishes that I can’t stop thinking about. The staff were attentive and friendly, making us feel truly welcomed. Whether you’re a Thai food lover or trying it for the first time, Ayuthaya is the perfect spot for a memorable meal.””

“Ichi Noodle in Liverpool is my go-to spot for flavorful Asian cuisine. The “Naga” dish is a standout, with its bold spiciness that suits Indonesian taste buds, while the Teriyaki Beef is equally delicious. The menu offers generous portions, even for regular sizes, with options like rice and noodles to satisfy various cravings. Fast service and consistently great flavors make this a must-visit for anyone seeking hearty, satisfying meals.”

“I'm kicking myself that I have never tried this place for over 30 years. I'm not sure if it's the same chef, but now that I appreciate good food, the dishes I had here ticked the box! We were the only ones in which reduced the atmosphere. This place deserves to be full - fantastic food.”

“Every food we had were really delicious, especially pork and veg dumplings. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. Overall the experience was really good. Will definitely go back in the future.”

“Absolutely loved the food here. Great atmosphere and the service from Abby and her team was brilliant. Will definitely be back again!”

“Undoubtedly the best restaurant of any type in Poulton. Service is excellent and professional (unlike others) and with a personal touch. Every dish was absolutely delicious. Excellent cocktail waiter who knew all the recipes of traditional cocktails without having to look them up. He mixed the best Dirty Martini (two of them) I have ever had in UK, and I've swigged a few. (The best in the world is in a cafe in Pollensa, Mallorca).”

“This restaurant may look small from the front, but it offers plenty of seating inside. The interior design is simple yet appealing, with a cosy atmosphere complemented by background music. There are many outstanding aspects of this place: the portions are satisfying for the price, and the food is incredibly flavourful. There is also a wide variety of menu options to choose from. The service is friendly as well.”

“We went there for a family lunch with our two little ones and honestly, we had the best experience - great food, lovely interior and excellent service. Little touches like water specially prepared for babies or spotlessly clean high chairs brought immediately to our table made us feel very cared of.”

“Amazing place. Had the mixed sushi platter as starter, was fantastic I had the lamb loin, was really really good, the flavour was fantastic the mint was mmmmm My partner had the chicken with chillie & garlic, that tasted delicious The side orders , egg fried rice, sauteed potato, stir fry veg, was bloody good too. The chef was incredible, dinner and a show. I've been many times , and they never disappoint. If you've never been, GO!!!!! It's not the cheapest tho, so bring your wallet. But the food is fantastic, and kids will love it too.”

“Went for lunch and I had chargrilled chicken rigatoni. My wife had pan fried salmon gnocchi and my son had sirloin steak. Not one complaint or critique!!! The food was absolutely gorgeous!! Worth every penny!!!”

“Great food and friendly service. They changed my seat without any problem, because it was a bit cold where I was originally sitting. Really appreciated that!”

“I LOVE THIS PLACE! Me and my friends use this as our go to joint for when they visit Liverpool, service, food, and atmosphere all feel unique to me and its the perfect balance between affordable and fancy but not too fancy. I could picture first dates here, business meets, or just for regular hangouts. Overall, to me, this place is a 10/10”

“Firas and Pablo, the staff, made our lunch at Mamasan exceptional with their friendly and attentive service. The 2 sets lunch menu struck an unbeatable balance of price and quality, paired with a stylish and cozy atmosphere. While portions were slightly small, the refreshing dessert was the perfect finale. A fantastic spot for a memorable meal!”

“Staff are friendly and helpful, clean and tidy place. An easy menu selection and good tasting food.”

“We have dined here on lots of difference occasions over the years, my kids love it, when I saw they do sushi school I just had to book, James was brilliant with the kids and adults, very informative, the sushi school is great value for money as you take home so much food, we will definitely be booking again, thank you”

“The BEST sushi I’ve ever had. I have been coming here for the last few months and it has been consistently excellent. It is so different to any sushi experience.Not only is the food amazing, flavoursome and unique, the service is 10/10. We went today with my nephew who is two, and they were so accommodating to him even giving him his own little child proof plate and fork as well as some toys to play with. This little local business is one to visit. Cannot recommend enough”

“Got takeaway for the second time and it didn’t disappoint (portions may be a bit small) ☺️loved the vanilla Japanese choux ❤️”

“One of my favourite places for food in Liverpool. I come in for something almost every time I'm around. Absolutely massive portions, exceptionally reasonable prices, and incredibly flavoursome food. Get the Mega Chicken - you won't be disappointed.”

“An amazing cantonese resturant with a fantastic selection of items both for starters and main course. Though the regular menu is rather pricey, the sunday feast is an excellent prepared to order all you can eat of a selection of their regular menu items. For an all you can eat, the quality of the food is second to none in warrington. Whilst the food is excellent, the location does leave a little to be desired, nestled at the end of a row of shops, the building itself is modern and clean throughout, though quite warm, however, the parking arrangements are quite lacking. Though this is not the fault of the resturant, it van still prove troublesome to find parking. Although, despite this, the service is excellent, as the resturant is almost always busy on a Sunday, the staff try their best to ensure that the service is quick and polite. Overall, I see Tao as an excellent choice for a special event or dinner out, especially for the Sunday feast, just be aware that otherwise the price can be a bit expensive. But for the quality of food, I would consider it worth it.”

“This was a superb restaurant for lunch, located right next to the rail station in the shopping centre to stop by while changing trains. The Japanese imagery and lights are beautiful, menu is easy to navigate and I have to thank the lady serving all on her own she was so friendly to chat to and had such a positive attitude! Sushi was tasty as the name and even had the rarity of including eel here, chopsticks are provided as are the rectangular plates!”

“Tried Bao and Bap and went for their Korean-style chicken wings and Japanese curry pork cutlet rice. The wings were crispy outside and juicy inside, with a tasty sauce that wasn’t too spicy (good for people who can’t handle too much heat). The pork cutlet rice came in a generous portion, the cutlet was crunchy and paired really well with the curry sauce. Pretty good value for the quality—I’d come back to try more of their menu. On top of that, the staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the meal even better. Definitely worth coming back!”

“Fantastic spot for a healthy tasty lunch with a difference. Stopped in for lunch today to be greeted by a very friendly talkative chap at the counter. The sushi I had was fantastic super fresh and tasty. Will be back again to try one of their bento boxes in the future!”

“Etsu is always and I mean always, brilliant. I often go by myself and feel very content to special occasions and it fits the brief perfectly. The food is sublime, beautifully prepared and delicious every single time. Staff are lovely and you’re looked after without being imposed upon. Very lucky to have this wonderful restaurant close by.”

“Delicious Japanese food! I had the pork katsu don, the pork was crispy, the egg silky and the sauce was flavourful and savoury. Staff were friendly and efficient. Overall, authentic, tasty dishes and a wide range of options guarantees at least an 8/10, not the best I’ve had but definitely up there! :D”

“Staff are super friendly and eager to please, the venue is pretty small and intimate so you can always get someone's attention. Stunning food and huge portions. Menu is simple so they have perfected what they do.”

“Me and my wife visited last night and we loved everything, service, speed but mainly the food. Duck loaded fries, ribs, chicken skewers, salt an pepper fries are 10/10 ⭐ Cant wait to go again an try what we couldn't fit in this time around.”

“This place is amazing you should try it the the food is so good I would highly recommend it an the staff are so professional great service”
