Manzo - Richmond, British Columbia

This place is trash. Our table had a cockroach which came out of the soya sauce dispenser, nasty! The staff did absolutely nothing. They came over and told us 'no big deal, just wipe it off with a napkin'... Are you serious?? No sanitation after that, no compensation.. nothing. These ... people should not be in business. The food quality is also atrocious and friends have had food poisoning from this location. Also it's a complete rip off for what your getting. Stay far far away. So many choices for food in this city, don't go here. Read more

There was a cockroach that came out of the soy sauce jar that was sitting on the table, so disgusting. Do not come here, they did not compensate any part of the meal. The voided roll was only voided because we cancelled it not because there was a cockroach in ... the soy sauce. We shouldn’t even have to pay for anything Read more

I've been a loyal patron of Manzo for years, and it never disappoints. The sake selection is superb, so many choices just like Japan. Yakitori is so delicious, grilled to perfection with just the right amount of char and seasoning, love their kawa, beef tongue and many more. The chutoro, ... bafun Uni , live Botan ebi sashimi is incredible —fresh, flavorful, and absolutely mouthwatering. Highly recommended Read more

Last time I ate at this place was roughly 5 years ago. Was really wanting some good Japanese food, so I decided to visit again. This place has a really nice, decorative interior, but can be a bit dim/dark in terms of lighting. It's a smaller store, so seating can be a ... bit cramped but can still seat a large party. Service was phenomenal as the servers actively come check in with you and change out dirty dishes or dishes full of shells and refill tea. The food is on the pricey side, but the quality matches that. On top of that, each dish is also well presented. We ordered assorted sashimi, fresh oysters, steamed clam sakemushi, and a AAA Angus beef sukiyaki (for two). Everything was really good in taste and quality. The fresh oysters were big to my surprise as compared to others that I've had in other Japanese or even Western restaurants. The clams were cooked just right, and the soup is just unmatched. Rich with sake, which I personally really like. The sukiyaki is a good deal in price. It comes with a pot stuffed with food as seen in the photo and vermicelli underneath with beef for you to cook on the side. This meal definitely delivered. Really brings me back to the time when my family and I last sat down together to enjoy a good dinner on a night out some years ago. I will definitely try to come back again with them. 7/10 would recommend this place if you want some good quality Japanese food with some money to spend, or if you are looking for a good night out with friends.

Too pricey, I don’t think the food worth the value. The beef tongue tasted like it just defrosted from the refrigerator. The BBQ is okay but very expensive after all. Udon is the best among all these, tempura is good.
