Sexy Fish Manchester Reviews
Mike the best in the world.
Mike was amazing, very attentive & paid attention to detail! We all loved him very much and I hope he gets a pay rise for his amazing performance!!!!
Terrible value for money/rude staff
Really disappointed. Paid 17£ for a mango cocktail which for a start wasn’t nice. It also came with a block of ice which when I lifted it out, left a very small amount of drink left. When I expressed my disappointment to staff I was told “that’s just how are drinks are” which absolutely no explanation or apology. Will not be back.
Disappointing experience
I had previously visited the restaurant and had really enjoyed the experience so decided to visit again for my Daughter's graduation. We had our drinks order taken as soon as we arrived - our starters arrived and we finished these without any signs of drinks. I asked our waitress what had happened to them and she said she would chase them - nothing happened. Our mains arrived and were eaten with still no sign of drinks. I asked in total 4 times to different members of staff and to no avail. It was only when a Manger got involved after the meal and as we were ready to leave that our drinks were delivered to the table. We were compensated by the Manger but our visit was spoilt. I felt the Customer Service was definitely lacking with no one taking responsibility to sort out our complaint. Food was lovely but not a great experience especially as it was an important occasion for us as a family.
Disappointing
Unfortunately we were disappointed, dancers came out once . Personally overrated , perhaps our expectations were just too high . We were rushed to leave table , had less than 2hrs . Decor lovely !! Food good !! Instagram makes it look amazing
Date night
Amazing food, champagne, cocktails and service Loved everything here - even the toilets! Will definitely be returning.
Beyond amazing
Sunday brunch to celebrate my birthday, retirement after 30 years in the NHS and wedding anniversary. Amazing food and amazing staff. Cressie was lovely and engaging to talk to whilst we had a cocktail before brunch. A very lovely person Angus was very attentive in filling our glasses and again engaging. Thomas our lovely waiter Aka Timotee Chalmonet - new Willy Wonka - brilliant waiter
Steve was brilliant really nice guy and a good waiter. He helped us with the menu and was very friendly.
Sexy fish was excellent . Great cocktails great food good service . The waiter was brilliant and very helpful. Dessert platter is huge
Thank you Salem!
We had a few cocktails and some wine and the bartender Salem was so so lovely, can’t thank them enough for how helpful they were in helping us make our choices!
Lived up to all my expectations… and some!
This really is a dining experience that exceeds all expectations! We chanced our luck on a Saturday afternoon with no booking and were delighted to get a table. The restaurant was busy and the atmosphere buzzing, the discreet but excellent DJ was a great touch. The decor is exquisite, worthy of a few Insta reels for sure! From sitting down, the team were attentive, professional, knowledgeable and friendly, helped with recommendations and made sure we were happy with our choices. The 2 course lunch menu is excellent value for money, with delicious choices and a complimentary Miso soup and sticky rice with the main. We chose to add a dessert and coffee, had a couple of glasses of wine and a cocktail. The standard service charge is 13.5%, maybe slightly above average but the team worked hard and we were happy to pay this. A shout out to ‘Sexy Steven’ who served us and was probably one of the happiest, friendliest waiters I’ve ever had the pleasure to serve me! 👏 I cannot recommend a visit to Sexy Fish Manchester highly enough, can’t wait to go back!
Amazing birthday meal!
Restaurant is beautifully decorated the ambience is perfect. The music adds to the atmosphere but is not overbearingly loud. Our server Steven was super attentive, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and recommended some great dishes. All of the food was beautifully presented, flavourful, and came in big portions perfect for sharing!
Beautiful atmosphere! But not up to the marks!!
Bumped into this place on the way to another restaurant! The person at the entrance came around to look at our feet to check whether we were on trainer shoes although we were dressed formally! Suspected racial profiling. The waiter, Elizabeth was very helpful. The food was very ordinary but they are super pricy. TBH, grilled seabass and spicy prawn noodles were at Takeaway standards. Sorry, this is a place best missed.
Very bad food quality and presentation.
I have wanted to explore sexy fish for sometime. The pictures on instagram and the website make it look incredible. How disappointed was i on my visit! The food presentation is nothing like the pictures. Its is mediocre at best. I ordered spicy sashmi and i have never had sashimi presented so appallingly! My friend had salmon which was the tiniest piece i have ever seen. I asked for a wine recommendation and the sommelier recommended a wine. A waitress came over and dumped the glass on the table without so much as an offer to try it as i would expect in any high end restaurant. The dessert situation was appalling. We requested the zen garden to share to be told it was sold out. We had not seen anyone that afternoon with it. The cinnamon buns were also sold out. We ordered chocolate fondant and a different waitress came to deliver. We discussed the zen garden and lack of dessert options and she said actually the ice cream machine was broken. A really really poor experience! Not what I would have expected. I left feeling like i should have gone to Tattu. I contacted sexyfish to provide feedback via the website. The guest relations manager responded for me to explain my experience further. I did and sent pictures of our really poorly presented food. He did not respond or acknowledge. Save your money and go elsewhere. Definitely not worth the hype and the presentation is nothing like you would expect after seeing their instagram.
Badly advertised lunch menu which needs updating.
Total rip off… went for the £28 lunch menu as on a budget only to get slapped with an extra £36 for the ‘main’ dish which was the size of a starter! Wasn’t clearly listed on the menu that it would be extra and the lady who took our order didn’t tell us it would cost extra. Wanted the experience but left feeling disappointed. Won’t be going back any time soon. **Take extra care when ordering that you’re not ‘upgrading’ as it is not clearly advertised. Bad form on their part.
Unwell after
Have been before and as usual It’s a lovely place with exceptional staff. However! A few hours later my daughter became violently unwell, the next morning me also, it is now Wednesday we are still suffering and the symptoms are concurrent with food poisoning. We ate the same food including oysters. I’m too unwell to call and sadly there is no email Address available to send this to them. So I hope this reaches them in case others are affected too
#Sexydinner
Went with my friends and we had a table next the aquarium, which was terrific! The service was spot on, tasty food, super attentive staff, very good vibes all over the place It's definitely a 10 / 10 xx
Lovely ambience
Just went in for a drink but what a beautiful place, the team are very friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. The menu looked amazing but we had already booked some for dinner otherwise we would have gone there definitely
Sexy Fish Manchester
Another amazing experience at Sexy Fish. Excellent service as always, amazing food atmosphere dancers music and the staff couldn't do enough for us! Thanks especially to one of the managers for sorting out an amazing table!
Highly racist. Discriminate people for no reason
Went with my partner a couple of months ago, but the bumper snapped the door on our face and told us to leave, without providing any reason. I’ve left a previous review and I was asked to give them a ring to a number to which nobody answered, after trying to call them at different times and for 3 consecutive days. Apparently, this is standard practice as they reply to all negative reviews asking to call that very same number. If you are racist and support discrimination, this is the right place to go.
Will be back!
What a place! Been there with my gf and really enjoyed the experience. The look is really cool, and the people there know their craft. Loved the veg tempura and the grilled salmon, and my gf loved the chocolate fondant. their wine offering is great too! Listened to the wine guy, didn't catch his name, and he suggested a wine I never had that I really enjoyed.
Stunning Venue but Disappointed
I booked this Restaurant for my Daughter's Birthday pre Concert Meal and Drinks. We arrived to a helpful Doorman but nobody on Reception. While there were more staff than Customers we hung around for a while confused as there was no service at the Bar (ignored) and no table Service. After 15 mins i asked to go to our table. Drinks took a further 15 minutes. Food was good but overall i felt super disappointed.
Fabulous night
Second visit this time for dinner ( Saturday night ) Few drinks in the bar pre meal , lovely service and great cocktails Great table on the elevated floor in front of the fish tank Super service , attentive without overbearing Four different starters along with four different main courses along with rice and sweet potato side dish Four mini doughnuts to share
Refusal to handle the Complaint Procedure
We had a pleasant time for the shared starters until we've been told we cannot order the food we wanted, to be specific from the 3 columns from the right hand side of the menu. The kind waiter advised that kitchen staff are not prepared to put so much time in preparing both choices of food for 2 columns, we were only allowed to order 1 column each. This is a business they're calling themselves "fine dining", yet we never came across a restaurant to tell us what we can eat or cannot. I have not found this under and terms or conditions, nor this being a policy of the restaurant, it is simple a decision the chefs took it in order to save time, looking for their own gain, not customers's satisfaction. I have escalated this with huge efforts to the assistant manager and then the general manager but they've ignored my dissatisfaction and also totally refused to send me the "Complaint Procedure" saying "we are not required to send you the Complaint Procedure", yet this is a legal requirement. I wanted to give names of the above people and attach evidences like emails but TripAdvisor don't allow private names or emails to be shared here. We've spent over £300 for our bill and looking to spend over £200 more, also booked hotel accommodation for that night to have an outrageous customer service experience from the management of the restaurant. I'm trying to escalate this to the chairman of Caprice Holdings to expose our experience and lack of respect, customer care of the management of Sexy Fish Manchester who are in breech of their own Complaint Procedure.
Wow
This place is Sexy! Not only is it so aesthetically pleasing to the eye, the food is to die for! You won’t be disappointed, amazing service!
Awful treatment by the staff
Awful front of house staff. We visited on an evening where there must have been 2 people in the entire place. There was 4 of us so we thought we’d give it a try as it was empty. We walked in and asked for a table of 4. They looked us up and down and rather Rudely said they was fully booked and couldn’t enter without a reservation! We said we only wanted 1 drink and would leave straight after. Again they said we wasn’t allowed in. We asked if it was so quiet why couldn’t we had one drink? Then they said as I was wearing a hoodie we wasn’t allowed in (I was wearing a blazer over the top and looked smart) it was freezing outside as it was late on in the evening. I said I’m happy to take the hoodie off as I was only wearing it to keep warm. They said I’d already broke the dress code and we was asked to leave?😂After leaving we rang up to book a table and told it wasn’t necessary as they was having a quiet evening!!! How shocking!!! We couldn’t believe the way we was treated😂😂
I really wanted to love this place
I have been dying to come to this place after seeing it on social media. Finally was able to come at the weekend as a group of 4 and left feeling really disappointed. We were recommended 2 plates per person, whilst they were delicious, the portions were so small we were all starving still afterwards! Lots of staff but no one came to ask us how the food was or if we wanted another drink, even after trying to get their attention. Lots of cocktails out of stock, had 2 drinks in a 2 hour sitting which on a Saturday night out was poor. Venue is stunning inside and is perfect for some insta pics! Absolutely guttered that we didn’t love the place as we now probably wouldn’t come back.
Sunday brunch wow
Came for Sunday brunch. Food amazing staff amazing. We took a 5 yr old n he was a little naughty the staff offered to keep him entertained a little but we declined. It was amazing every bit of it !
Style (?!) over substance
It’s all a bit over-the-top at Sexy Fish. They’ve clearly spent a fortune on how it looks and then seem to have run out of steam. To my taste the place is borderline tacky. Geared up for the Insta opportunities but not so great on the food or drink. Cocktails were decidedly meh, and the food was underwhelming. Overpriced for what you get. On a positive note though, the service was very good. Many better places to go in the Spinningfields area. Won’t be returning.
Birthday treat
Went here for a family birthday celebration and it was fantastic. The food was exceptional, yes it is a bit pricey but well worth it. We had one of the set menu options - be aware that if you go for this they don't mix and match so the 4 in our party who wanted a set menu all had the same one, however other members then chose from the a la carte. The service was prompt, helpful and friendly, a great range of cocktails, and the decor is stunning. I was even given a birthday dessert treat - all in all a wonderful evening, highly recommend it as a great dining experience
WOW! One of the best dining experiences anywhere
WOW! I could easily end my review of Sexy Fish with that one word, as it sums up everything about this incredible restaurant. I have had the privilege of dining in some pretty amazing restaurants over the years, but I never expected one of the best to be in Manchester. Sexy Fish turns on the charm as soon as you walk in the door with its beautiful decor and incredible ambience, but that’s only a prelude of things to come. When the dining experience begins, that is when it becomes truly memorable. Sampling a delectable cocktail whilst perusing the menu choices, we eventually settled upon the Sekushi Omakase menu that would take us on our 10 course culinary adventure. Each course came immaculately presented, and picking a favourite was almost impossible as I can genuinely say that there was not a weak course among them. Maybe it was the sushi & sashimi, or maybe the sea-bass, or how about the lamb rack? Oh how could I go past the cheesecake and sexy treats? They were all simply delectable! As Manchester is 5,000km from home, my next goal will be to visit the other Sexy Fish locations around the world to compare; as you can’t get too much of a good thing!
Sexy Fish. Tasty Food / OK Experience 3*
Feedback: -Lovely place - The tables are extremely small for 2 people and were crammed into a tight space to seat more people, but this made it more uncomfortable when eating - The tables were so close together when the waiter was bringing food to the table next to us, they had their back in our faces. -Food was fresh, hot and really tasty - lovely to have DJ - the doughnuts were amazing Conclusion: For us and our experience it was a one time visit for a special occasion. It is not somewhere to eat regularly and the experience was not good enough to entice us to come back. Whilst the food was very tasty, the portions were extremely small for a very large price.
Very Disappointed
I would not recommend this restaurant! The food was 10/10 the service was horrendous, we had to wait 20 mins for our table, each dish came out 5 mins apart, 6 servers just walked past every 5 minutes placing food on our table, guests were left with no food at all and the guests that had some food did not have a complete dish, staff were rude. To say it was for a special occasion and the price you pay I was very disappointed and I will not be returning.
Amazing place
Went for lunch at this place . The Resturant is amazing , great food , service and location . Loads of choice and amazing service
All style but little substance
Stunning decor and probably the best service I’ve had in any restaurant in Manchester. However…. The food was a huge let down. It was very bland and basic. Nearby Ivy Asia and Tattu are far superior.
Overall great experience
We had such a great experience at Sexy Fish on Saturday night. Extremely attentive service from our waiter Thomas, great cocktails & wine, and exceptional food.
We wanted to love this place but….
Shout out to Sophie she is very good at customer service, she is the only staff that made us feel welcome. Some of the staff just kept budging into us whilst we were sat down, at some point my dad ended up having his drink knocked over and no one replaced this, we didn’t make a fuss. We picked this place so we could celebrate our dad’s 60th…. As a milestone birthday we thought the reception would have been good …Very underwhelming… The atmosphere is dull! The food is served as a sharing concept but the quality is not that great. Better off going to Ivy Asia in Leeds much better customer service great atmosphere, delicious food, and they really celebrate birthdays well genuinely not just sticking a candle on a desert you bought and throwing it at the table. Vibes were off!!
Steven at Manchwstwr sexyfish
Shout out to the staff member Steven at Manchester Sexyfish, he was passionate and enthusiastic towards his job and ourselves as customers, he was amazing from start to finish. Which is the opposite to the greeting we received at the front of the restaurant by ladies who were rude, belittling and obnoxious. Thank you to Steven for making our experience amazing!
Blown away by the atmosphere, service and food!
Setting - 5/5 Stunning artwork, lighting and had the ‘wow’ factor. Atmosphere 5/5 Came here at lunchtime for an event but even without the evening entertainment the atmosphere was ideal. Service 5/5 Each and everyone went above and beyond, from the initial welcome, to be seating, ordering food and drinks to any other requests. Food 5/5 Loved it. I’m a big fan of Asian fusion food but it can sometimes be beauty over taste, not here. A great combination of food, my favourites were the salt and pepper squid, Eryngii Tempura, spicy tuna Maki rolls and the crispy duck salad. For dessert the amazing Sexy Dessert Platter, wow! Overall, one of my new favourite restaurants 👏🏽
Disappointing & underwhelming - the quickest & most expensive meal I have ever had
We visited sexy fish for my birthday meal this month and unfortunately left with a bitter taste in our mouths. A day before our visit, I had been called to confirm the booking and the lady I spoke with stressed to try arrive 5 minutes early to have a drink at the bar as if we were more than 15 minutes late our table would no longer be guaranteed (granted this is the case at most, if not all restaurants). I was also informed we would have the table for two hours. So as suggested we arrived promptly 5 minutes early to our 7:30pm booking, unaware we would have to wait 25 minutes to be seated. We waited at the bar and struggled to order a drink, it was near impossible to even make eye contact with the bar staff and when we asked to order a bottle of wine he told us to wait until we were seated as someone would go through the wines with us however we already knew what we wanted to order as we had plenty time to scour the wine list by that point. Finally, at 10 to 8 we were taken to our table, which was in a lovely spot and our server was very friendly and super helpful as we decided what to order. The dishes we picked were excellent, however we expected more for the price. “Scallop skewers “ for £16 was a bit misleading - £8 a bite. Considering this is a Japanese restaurant, I would recommend going elsewhere if you are wanting decent sushi in Manchester as it was subpar. The tuna tataki was gorgeous but again the portion size was a shock as we were informed all dishes were meant for sharing. After 6 dishes, we decided we would get another bottle of wine and had seen our neighbouring table order a few dishes we thought we would like to try and asked for the menus back. Shortly after as I was looking at the menu, a different server came across to the table and very abruptly asked “are you going to order more or not as you only have the table for twenty more minutes?” It made us feel very rushed and considering we had been seated twenty minutes late at no fault of our own it really put us off. Our original server returned and asked if we would like to order more and I informed them of what the other server had said. He suggested we could order another glass of wine and stand at the bar. We decided we would just leave it and get the bill. No birthday gesture, which I feel would’ve made the visit feel more special. Don’t even bother putting it on your booking as it makes no difference to the service you get. We left feeling very underwhelmed and can say we won’t be visiting again. Completely overhyped and pretentious, it seems the staff just want you in and out. Unless you’re sole purpose for visiting is getting a good instagram, I would avoid if you want a decent night out in Manchester.
Poor service from walking in on arrival to meal
Been here three times and this was the fourth . When we entered we were ignored until eventually the young lady stopped chatting and spoke to us. We were shown to a table which was nicely set up but too small to take all the food we ordered. The staff kept changing all the time which was confusing. I ordered the duck salad which was my favourite when it arrived it was nothing like the duck salads I’d had previously. There was no salad just a bit of leaf on top. When mentioned was told they would exchange they didn’t . Four different waiters later and still not changed ! We had jasmine tea which is usually topped up with hot water but it was just hot water , they had tipped the tea out 😳 The food was still very good but totally overpriced at £178 for two at lunchtime with that one cocktail 🍸 You can easily go to a Michelin star restaurant with A1 service and top quality tasting menu for that . Trip to Ambleside where there are two less than 3 mins walk from each other Won’t be rushing back and the managers need a lesson in customer service . Not impressed at all.
Good food, but not the level of service I expected
Just wanted to share my review on a latest visit to Sexy Fish Manchester. It was my second visit after I visited back in November 2023. Back in November I took my daughter to your restaurant on a special occasion and it was spectacular - 5/5 . Really enjoyed every minute of it. Followed by success on a last visit I decided to invite my mother for a lunch on my Birthday on 22/03/24. I must admit - I was more than disappointed with my last visit. I did mention during the booking that it’s a special occasion - my birthday and also when I had a follow up call I mentioned what was the purpose of the visit. But looks like the restaurant didn’t make a big deal of that. There was no acknowledgment of a special occasion at all. Even a lower range restaurants usually going extra mile and at least offering a little Happy Birthday plate that cost nearly nothing to company, but makes a huge difference to a customer. Well nothing like that was offered on my latest visit. On a top of that there was a slight mix up with orders - we only got 1 miso soup and after I mentioned it the second one arrived later. Also I had to wait for main main meal for a while - had to mention it twice to the waiter. And it was only a salmon. So we left the place with a bitter taste. On departure we were asked is there anything you could improve and I said there was no acknowledgment of my special occasion and then I was asked - what do you mean? Did we not say Happy Birthday to you or something? Not what I was expected to hear. The food was still good, but the experience was really poor.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Sexy Fish Manchester at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Sexy Fish Manchester page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* BraveCloth47, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* BraveCloth47 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to BraveCloth47 for any questions Peter may have as BraveCloth47 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* BraveCloth47 now uses their connections at Sexy Fish Manchester to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If BraveCloth47 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, BraveCloth47 receives the $200 reward which is credited to BraveCloth47's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Sexy Fish Manchester!
