Sakkusamba - Manchester

Come for a birthday. There were 6 of us. It’s £47 eat all you can 4plates each per 12mins if you finish them ones you ordered as waste can be charged. Food took awhile as I ordered 4 dishes it came quite fast but it taken almost 1 hour for the other dishes to come out for the other people we came with because it was all sushi they made it altogether instead of bringing it out one by one. Which luckily we all just shared anyways. Lovely deco and modern setting and honestly the bbq grill meats is really nice and tasty.

We visited on the evening of 31/08 to celebrate our anniversary with the 25% off summer promotion. Personally, it's really expensive for what it is with the normal price of £45.50 per person to dine in the evening (we paid about £34 per person). You basically get to order 7 dishes per person per round; although I can't remember how many rounds we were entitled to. Most of the sushi was kind of hit and miss and tasted very similar; however, I've got to say, the salmon sashimi was the best thing on the menu (with no additional charge) - very fresh, creamy and I pretty much ordered it every round. The one other thing that really stood out was the cap of rump - it was so juicy, tender and flavourful! The rest of the Brazilian grill dishes were dry and hard unfortunately and there were times it was so chewy, I had to spit it back out. All the fried dishes we ordered were either bland, dry or too oily. The prawn and octopus salad we ordered just tasted of sweet syrup dressing - there were 3 Prawns but can you believe, only 2 thin slices of the octopus tentacle (about the size of a 20p). The service was good at first with food coming out very quickly, and then after the first round, there were around 30-40 minute delays until the next round came and when they did, they would miss around 4-5 dishes leading to use having to chase it up with different waiters - some of which we didn't even receive in the end. Overall, it was nice to experience both japanese and Brazilian food in one place but not somewhere that I would go again.

Had a great experience at Sakku Samba for my birthday in July. We used the 50% lunchtime offer as we were unsure what to expect but will definitely be back (even paying full price!) I am pregnant and the team went above and beyond making sure all of the food was cooked well done for me and Zara, our server, was constantly checking to make sure everything was cooked to my liking (and even surprised me with a birthday desert at the end!) P.S. Zara - you guessed right! It's a boy 💙

This place has lovely ambiance, and the food is really tasty. The portions are small, which makes sense for the tapas menu. The only thing which was a bit disappointing was the service, which could of been better- forgetting what we had asked for, etc. would recommend. The drinks were also nice, on the more expensive side for Manchester .

A welcoming and intimate atmosphere with some fantastic sushi options. Dancers, low lights and well decorated, I really enjoyed my time at SakkuSamba. I personally eat pretty much all sushi options and found that with the ‘all you can eat tapas’ approach meant I got to try a lot more plates than I usually would, in a standard sushi bar. As a larger group we struggled a little with some dietary requirements, as there was a lot of back and forth-ing from staff and eventually a manager had to come and clarify what the kitchen needed to be aware off. But once the food started rolling out, we were all very impressed. Using an iPad/tablet to order made the experience easier for me personally. I also found after a few orders we really go into picking dishes we could share across the table. This made it a fantastic dining out experience. The staff bring the food as you order and sometimes struggled to remember the names of each dish, with a larger group this was slightly chaotic but we got there. However, I would still highly recommend Sakkusamba for a slightly more formal night out with a relaxed Japanese and Brazilian fusion.

Absolutely perfect. We celebrated my birthday midweek with cocktails and sushi and Sakkusamba couldn’t have made the day more special. The cocktails were expertly crafted, the sushi beautifully presented and the service wonderfully attentive. It was delish with a backdrop of jazzy Latino vibes playing in the background. In the words of Mr Schwarzenegger, “I’ll be back!”
