Suki Suki Street Food & Bar

Birthday celebration: Pan Asian street food and late night venue, Suki Suki Street Food & Bar is celebrating one year on Deansgate Terrace with a huge party and giveaway for customers.

On Thursday 6th June 6 pm til late, Suki Suki, which is located at Great Northern Warehouse, is welcoming all to join in the celebrations, with the first 300 people through the door enjoying free Karaage Chicken, Teriyaki Pork and Spicy Tofu bao buns. 300 free bottles of Asahi are also up for grabs.

On the £1 cocktail menu, all night long, guests can enjoy Yuzu Raspberry Sour, Umeshu Plum Whiskey Sour, Mango Mule, Lychee Lemonade, and Naked Pear – all priced at £1. Throughout the night there will be giveaways and exciting social media competitions.

The first 300 guests will receive a red envelope containing a prize to be redeemed. Prizes range from free gyozas, free cocktails, to free ramen, with discounts of up to 20% off and even ‘win a free meal for two’ up for grabs. The catch? The envelopes must not be opened until your next visit and must be opened in the venue with your server.

Full review: You’ll find Suki Suki on Deansgate, connected to the ever-growing Great Northern Warehouse. It’s a smart-looking space, inspired by Japan’s drop-in bars and casual restaurants. Step inside and you’re met with a serious amount of attention to detail – relaxed lighting, a great soundsystem and a pitch-perfect seating layout. Much like the venue, the staff are young, relaxed and friendly – it feels like the kind of place you’ll head back to, again and again.

The Pan-Asian menu is wide-ranging surprisingly affordable considering the city-centre location, with decent offers such as three small plates for £16, but there are full sections for bao buns, ramen, curry and more.

The salt and pepper ribs are as good as it gets. It’s a bowl full of piping hot wings, coated with high-grade salt and pepper seasoning, plump and moreish – here, the emphasis is on the meat rather than gristle. The steamed sui mai are beautifully prepared, full of rich, potent aromas and tender to the touch.

If you like things fiery, the kamikazi wings are a good bet, thanks to the rich depth of flavour, putting them a cut above some of the bog-standard hot wings out there. And quite frankly, the salt and pepper chips are a must. They come dusted with the right amount of seasoning, plus some crunchy onion and pepper pieces to keep things interesting.

The bao buns are exceptional. They’re soft, fluffy, packed with potent ingredients and remarkably affordable. The ramen options are just as good – we opt for the Suki Suki ramen, with a tonkoksu broth, containing crispy fried soft shell crab, chunk of tofu, pak choi, beansprouts and seasonal vegetables – plus a boiled egg for luck.

Suki Suki is a great addition to Manchester’s city centre dining landscape. The whole experience is like being at a raved-about Asian street food stall, but in the kind of place you could imagine hanging out at all day – and late into the evening, courtesy of Suki Suki’s superb range of alcoholic drinks and cocktails.
