KITTEN 9 Owen Street, Manchester M15 4YB

"Manchester needed somewhere like this. Felt like I was eating in Dubai, as the interior was perfect but the food was incredible. The north is not known for their sushi, but finally we have somewhere that serves delicious sushi. The sashimi platter was my favourite as it was beyond fresh, and reasonably priced for that kind of quality. Cocktails were classy and modern. Loved it and this is my 3rd time back! 5*"

"Really enjoyed dinner here, the restaurant is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. Possibly the best sushi I’ve had in Manchester so far. The sushi rolls are made fresh so this accommodates to people with allergies which is fab. All staff are friendly and our server Armaghan was lovely, professional and knowledgeable of the food and drinks. My only dislike was the mocktail. I assumed it was going to be sweet as I ordered strawberry but it was very bitter with a lemon taste, which at £9 is very expensive for what it was."

"Review is based on drinks only. This venue has to be the best place for drinks/cocktails in Manchester in my opinion. I do not normally give many things a 5* review unless it is truly exceptional which Kitten has proven to be. My partner and I attended Kitten for Friday night drinks without a reservation. It wasn't too busy and we were seated and tended to almost immediately. The drinks were probably the most unique combinations of flavours I've ever experienced and we're fantastic. The whole ambiance and decor reminded me of Nobu in London. Truly spectacular. If you are looking for an upscale cocktail venue or looking to impress, I'd highly recommend Kitten. I would specifically like to mention Tim (who I believe was the bar manager) who went above and beyond recommending drinks for us. Amazing service and look forward to coming back again really soon. A++"

"We had a very enjoyable meal with good quality sushi and impressive cocktails to compliment it. The blue and black tuna was superb and the spider roll was the best roll we ordered. The desserts were also enjoyable with the cherry mouse the standout. Also a good selection of cocktails highlights were the spicy martini and the lychee based cocktail. It would have been a perfect evening but for a few minor details. It was very hard to speak/have conversation as there was a live DJ and the level was high all night. (We did read reviews so it was expected) There was a slight pause in our service as it seemed 2 of our dishes were delayed after initially very quick service. Sitting at a table near (but not on top of) the door they could do with a porch of some sort as it was very cold everytime the door opened (and this week was much milder than recently). Overall though a very enjoyable evening."

"Great food, stylish location and great staff. We tried just about everything on the menu and I was positively surprised. Yes it’s relatively expensive, however when you compare the quality of the produce and the amazing execution, then it’s worth every cent:) I didn’t mind sitting on the high chairs, but it’s definitely not as comfy as the dining chairs. The drinks are ok, and perhaps overpriced. I went for the food;)"
