Fuzen - Trafford

At 12:15 pm on the day of my reservation, I received a voicemail stating that my reservation would be cancelled unless I paid a deposit by 1 pm. After contacting the restaurant, I was informed that my reservation was confirmed and a deposit was not required. Despite this, I received another threatening message shortly after, prompting me to make a payment just to secure my reservation. Once I arrived at the restaurant, everything went smoothly and the service was great. However, it is important for establishments expecting patrons to spend significant amounts of money to ensure that the service provided is excellent from the first interaction.

Clearly Japanese style, but very limited vegetarian options, which is strange considering it is located in a gym. Great if you like fish.

We recently dined here for a special occasion. I was a little disappointed with the service. We had reserved a table while we sat at the bar. When we went to be seated, we were told that the kitchen was no longer accepting orders!!! This led to a very uncomfortable confrontation until we were finally seated. I'm not sure why this happened, as we had a reservation and the restaurant had 7 empty tables. It seemed like the owners and the chef were overwhelmed with capacity of 800. The food, however, was excellent. But if it were my restaurant on a Saturday night with empty tables at 8 pm, I would be questioning why. The restaurant has great food, but the service needs to be improved.

The restaurant provides outstanding fusion dishes with lovely plating. However, I was let down by the limited vegan entree choices, which were only a salad or a Sushi Maki roll. Additionally, only one smoothie option is vegan, as the rest contain yogurt. Despite this, the sushi, particularly the maki rolls, are delightful. The staff is amiable, constantly cheerful, and offers top-notch service.

There are some delightful discoveries to be made on the menu. Be sure to dine with friends who are willing to share so you can try as many of the visually appealing dishes as possible.
