Unagi Street Food & Sushi Manchester

So, you're in Manchester, huh? Great city, isn't it? Always buzzing with life, and let me tell you, the food scene is no exception. Now, I've got a gem for you. Ever heard of Unagi Street Food & Sushi? Thought not. Let me spill the beans.

Unagi, you say?

Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking. "Unagi? Isn't that the giant eel from that cartoon?" Well, yes and no. In Japanese, "unagi" also means "lucky" or "lucky eel". And trust me, you'll feel lucky you stumbled upon this place.

Now, where is this mystical place?

Alright, so it's not exactly hidden, but it's tucked away in the Northern Quarter. You know, that vibrant little area where the cool kids hang out. It's on the same street as the famous Afflecks Palace, so keep your eyes peeled.

First time I found it, I was like, "Whoa, how did I miss this?" It's like it was waiting for me. You'll see why once you're inside. It's got this cozy, intimate vibe going on. Like you're in on a secret. Which, let's face it, you are. You're in on the secret of Manchester's best-kept sushi secret.

So, what's the deal with this sushi?

Oh, mate, where do I even start? Unagi does this thing called "sushi burritos". Ever had one? No? Well, imagine a giant sushi roll, wrapped in nori, stuffed with all your favorite fillings, and served in a box. It's like a party in your mouth, and everyone's invited.

Now, I'm not one to play favorites, but if you're a fan of the spicy tuna, you've got to try their "Spicy Boy". It's like a kick in the taste buds, but in the best possible way. And if you're feeling fancy, there's always the "Lobster Tail". I mean, come on. Lobster. In a sushi burrito. In Manchester. Who would've thought?

But here's the thing, Unagi isn't just about the sushi burritos. They've got all the classics too - sashimi, nigiri, maki rolls. You name it, they've got it. And it's all fresh, all delicious, and all made with love. Well, maybe not love. That might be a bit much. But you get the picture.

And the street food? Don't even get me started.

Alright, I'll get started. So, they've got these amazing little dishes called "poke bowls". Ever had one? No? Well, imagine a bowl of rice, topped with all sorts of deliciousness - fish, veggies, sauces. It's like a party in a bowl. And you're invited. Again.

But wait, there's more. They've got these things called "unagi fries". Yes, you heard me right. Fries. With unagi on top. It's a thing. A delicious, wonderful thing. And you need to try it. Trust me on this.
