Zen Sushiya Japanese Restaurant

Head down Princess Road in Withington and you'll find yourself in front of a place that takes Japanese food seriously without the pretension. Zen Sushiya isn't trying to be fancy or Instagram-bait—it's just doing the fundamentals properly. You're looking at meticulously prepared sushi, sashimi that tastes like it arrived this morning, and a team that respects the craft. It's the kind of neighbourhood restaurant that keeps regulars coming back because the quality's consistent and they're not charging London prices for it.
