Inside, the place focuses on sushi, ramen, and other Japanese dishes. They make them, presumably well enough. The service is fine. It's a place to eat, not somewhere to have an 'experience'. Don't expect a revelation. Whether you know Japanese food or not, Sakurai San serves it in unassigned. It's there for those who want it. It works after a day in Manchester, or for a meal with friends and family. It's an option.
