There’s a Japanese restaurant in Manchester serving all you can eat sushi, sashimi and teppenyaki and we’re a little bit obsessed.
Sushi Mami on Portland Street is a relatively new addition to the city, having opened its doors in Manchester at the end of last year.
The Japanese restaurant serves poke bowls, bento boxes, and a full A La Carte menu, but one thing that really sets it apart from its competitors is the new all-you-can-eat menu that stretches through lunch into dinner.
With over 40 different types of sushi to choose from, plus sashimi, gyoza, rice rolls, tempura, soups, salads, rice, noodle and teppenyaki dishes, this is a deal not to be sniffed at.
Prices start from £26.99 per person for an early weekday lunch, and peak at £34.99 if you’re visiting for dinner on the weekend (Fridays and Saturdays). For that, you’ll get at least three and a half hours of non-stop sushi, sashimi and more.

All ordered via an app then brought directly to your table by Sushi Mami’s wait staff, further dishes on offer include meat and fish from the robata grill (think king prawns, salmon, lamb chops and chicken) and ‘Japanese Wok’ dishes like sweet and sour chicken, shredded beef and katsu.
Elsewhere, you’ll find steaming bowls of ramen, udon and yakisoba noodles topped with your choice of meat, veg or fish. It’s a veritable feast, and all for one fixed price.

Be warned, though, whilst there is an abundance of food on offer the team are hugely anti-waste – to the extent they’ve introduced a penalty charge for anything you leave behind.
That means that for every item ordered but left uneaten, you’ll be charged an additional £1 – so you better make sure you’ve not got eyes bigger than your belly.

Hacienda Classical announces record-breaking show at Castlefield Bowl next summer
Emily Sergeant
Hacienda Classical is set to make yet another triumphant return to the historic Castlefield Bowl next summer.
Manchester’s iconic celebration will mark its record-breaking ninth appearance at the Sounds of the City festival when it arrives in the city centre next July, and will once again be captivating local audiences and travelling fans alike.
In case you’re unfamiliar with the groundbreaking musical project, Hacienda Classical fuses a unique blend of classic dance tracks and orchestral arrangements, with the unmatched spirit of the legendary Hacienda, garnering rave reviews from critics and fans along the way.
Resident DJ Graeme Park carefully curates a selection of iconic anthems from the late 1980s and early 1990s, which are then reimagined with orchestral arrangements by the Manchester Camerata Orchestra.
The not-to-be-missed experience featuring powerful vocals and special guests has sold out multiple shows at prestigious venues worldwide.
At next year’s Castlefield Bowl date, the voice of M People, Heather Small, will join the show, along with house legends K-Klass performing a full live set, while DJ Paulette and Tom Wainwright also join as resident DJs for the night.
Curator Graeme Park will also take to the decks before the show too.
“I am already beyond excited that Hacienda Classical is returning to Castlefield Bowl in the heart of Manchester for the ninth time,” Graeme Park said.
“No other live act has performed so many times at this superb outdoor venue and it’s an honour to be part of this incredible journey that is now a major highlight in my diary and yours too. I can’t wait to bring the love next July.”
Hacienda Classical returns to Sounds of the City at Castlefield Bowl on Saturday 5 July 2025, and tickets officially go on general sale this Friday (8 November) at 10am.

Manchester is set to fall silent and remember the fallen during this year’s annual Remembrance Sunday commemorations.
Just as it does each year, Manchester City Council has now revealed the details of how the city will mark Remembrance Sunday this weekend, and has confirmed that the annual Remembrance Sunday Parade will set off at 10:25am from John Dalton Street.

Veterans and military personnel will march from John Dalton Street to the Cenotaph, where a service will be held at 11am, along with a two-minute silence, all before a short march to Peter Street across St Peter’s Square then takes place to close out the commemorations.
