Manten Sushi Nihonbashi

Fantastic experience! We did a 6-person lunch omakase. We were a bigger group so unfortunately we could not get seated at the counter. But we could still see most of what the chefs were doing, and the waitresses bringing us our courses were thoroughly explaining each one. We made the reservation obviously in advance - and thank god - the place is not very large and filled up entirely, we watched 3-4 parties get turned away. Definitely a fun experience and relatively inexpensive for first-time omakase-goers.

The price was really worth it here. For only ~8000 yen per pax, we had like SO much food. We were in a party of three, so we couldn’t sit at the bar seats (in front of the chef), but we still had a semi-clear view of the chefs. The waitress was extremely kind and she introduced every dish that she served to us, hence making it an overall pleasant experience :)

Went here for dinner and it was ¥8800 each person. It comes with a free drink and about 20 courses of food. Everything was absolutely wonderful and carefully prepared by the chef. The monkfish liver was probably my favorite, together with the uni. They were very generous with the uni which was amazing. What really got me though is how attentive the staff were. To be fair, we probably had one of the best seats in the restaurant since we are directly next to the chef preparing the meal. However, they were very swift in offering water when I needed one, toothpick, and so on without me even asking for it. They watch and pay attention to their customers and they even noticed that my companion was left handed so they started positioning her sushi the other way so it would be easier for her to pick them up. Overall, food was great but the service was spot on. Will definitely come back as it was one of the best meals I’ve had. For the amount of food we got, I’d say 8,800yen was more than reasonable.

Omg, I have never been so full off of a lunch omakase, and it was so delicious! My family and I had lunch reservations, and we were seated exactly at the time we had reserved for. We each enjoyed our lunch thoroughly as each course was freshly made in front of us. The restaurant is fairly small, but the staff were so friendly and there weren't any language barriers. Out of all the courses my favorites were the enoki mushrooms and scallops. We would absolutely recommend Manten Sushi!

I had the best sushi of my life at this restaurant, and I've eaten a lot of sushi during my 12-day trip to Japan. If you book counter seating for a large group, they may seat you at a booth instead. However, this shouldn't overshadow the excellent service, food, and overall amazing experience. Initially, I was worried that the food wouldn't be filling, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised. Every part of the omakase was incredible. If you're open to new textures, you'll love it! I tried snail, shrimp, and sea urchin, and even though I hadn't had some of them before, I still enjoyed them. The staff is very attentive, and the food quality is top-notch. I would definitely return and recommend this place! As for the complaint about the ginger, I don't understand why there's so much fuss, since they provide freshly-cut ginger.

Fantastic meal at a very affordable price. Was absolutely great amount of food and wasn’t too full, but great variety of sushi and other dishes. Not sure if the menu changes but will be back soon! Make sure to reserve in advance.

4.5 stars. Great value, variety, and quality. Since we were a group of 5, we made reservations and was given a private room with a side entrance. Even though we were not around the chef, we appreciated that could freely talk and enjoy our meal in private. 8800 JPY for approximately 24 courses. Our favourites were: crab soup, fatty tuna sushi and fatty tuna hand roll, torched hamachi, shrimp sushi, chuwanmushi, and muscat grapes for dessert. Notable mention: the tofu was incredibly creamy. However, the boiled peanuts were underwhelming and cheapened the experience unfortunately.

Definitely do not recommend coming here. Ruined the whole omakase experience. Came here with a group of 5 and was placed in a room behind the kitchen and so far away from the chef and definitely not the “omakase” experience you are after with no interaction with the chef. Was not told of this when I made the booking that we would be seated in such a crammed room and with food served on a plate together and not separately . I would not have booked if I knew we would be seated in a crammed room and through the back door of the restaurant! At a cost of 8800 yen, there is a lot of food but if you think about it it’s all just quantity. Presentation of food was not great and not refined, would not recommend coming here and felt so disrespected to be placed in a separate room similar to a storage room behind the kitchen. Please see photos with the view of the kitchen floor throughout the whole meal.
