Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Alne

"Not only is Issho one of the finest restaurants in the city, it’s also home to one of the best rooftop terraces – and it’s perfect during the colder months. The 700-square-foot, south-facing terrace at the top of Victoria Gate comes complete with cosy sofas, luxurious throws and warming heat-lamps at every table. While you’re there, you can enjoy seasonal cocktails from the bar, which will pair perfectly with their tempting Japanese small plates like prawn gyoza, katsu chicken bao buns and salmon sashimi."

"Issho is a Michelin-recommended Japanese restaurant, so you can bet they do some seriously good sushi. Their menu is full of gourmet versions of the classics from tiger prawn tempura to spicy tuna rolls. Feeling more adventurous?"

"If you’re wanting a restaurant in Leeds that offers a serious slice of theatre with your meal, then Teppanyaki will steal the show. These guys whip up traditional Japanese cuisine before your very eyes, because each table comes equipped with its own ‘teppan’ hotplate. Choose from a sumptuous selection of grilled goodies, like sticky duck teriyaki, king prawn and scallops in Tokyo butter, or a scene-stealing fillet steak with lobster tail, then watch your meal be sliced, sizzled and spun straight onto your plate."

"If the answer is yes, you need to go and experience Teppanyaki. One of the best Japanese restaurants in Leeds, you get to experience an atmosphere similar to one you will have experienced if you have ever eaten in Japan. Watch as your skilled chefs cook your food in front of your own eyes to the best of standards, feel your jaw drop as they juggle and flip your food, throwing a dash of fire into the mixture."

"Teppanyaki is famous for its theatrical preparation of hot dishes on their grill-top tables, but did you know they also did delicious sushi?. They have all the usual fish options, like salmon, tuna and prawn, but it’s the experimental combinations that set them apart. There’s spicy chicken katsu maki and mango California rolls, the latter of which gives the raw fish an irresistible burst of sweetness."

"One of the first conveyor belt sushi restaurants in the UK, Yo!. Sushi is a must try. They have over 30 different sushi dishes moving along the belt in front of you, so you can take your pick of everything from aromatic duck rolls to their signature Yo!"

"Sushi is tapa styles so you can try several different types of dishes. They frequently change their menu and offer specials for students on Blue Monday. Don’t forget to try their hot sake!"

"Ippuku Tea House “offer modern but still authentic Japanese style food, tea and drinks that represent ideals of the Japanese life-style using only high quality Japanese products and produce currently trending in Japan.” They serve a vegetable or salmon sushi bowl (Sushi rice topped with edamame, half an avocado and smoked salmon or a seasonal vegetable side, pickles and salad.)  Or you could try Teriyaki chicken, Shougayaki pork or Gyoza."

"The website defaults to the menu in Japanese, which says to me that this restaurant is catering to the large number of Japanese visitors we receive. I’d say that it does not get more authentic than that!. If you want sushi like it’s served in Japan, then this looks ideal."

"Commonly known as Saint Anne's Cathedral, Leeds cathedral is the Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Diocese of Leeds, and is the seat of the Bishop of Leeds. This is one of the most significant heritages building which is surrounded by the modern city of Leeds. The original cathedral was located in St. Anne's Church in 1878, but that building was demolished around 1900."

"One of the most impressive Catholic Cathedrals in the whole of the UK, Leeds Cathedral is a vital attraction for anyone with an interest in religious structures. The dramatic Gothic Revival building may only be small in size but this is more than made up for with its impressive interior. Leeds Cathedral | © Michael Beckwith / Wikimedia"

"Tucked away behind an inconspicuous gate and seemingly cut off from the rest of the town, the Church of the Holy Trinity is a fantastically atmospheric old building, having survived almost unchanged for the past..."
