Blue Sakura Leeds in Leeds

The food is great but we weren’t even finished eating and they were shoving the bull down our throats. They said we had 1 hour and 30 mins for the table and they were telling us we need to get ready to leave 45 mins into being sat down.

beautiful place, delicious food

I booked for 4 adults and 2 children to come here for my mum's birthday. I confirmed the 5pm reservation via the link 2 days before. We arrived at 4.30pm wanting a drink in the bar area before our meal. We were told nothing had been booked, when the gent realised this he got abit rude and impatient with us. I said I had booked and confirmed the meal. He searched again a said I'd booked for 7pm and there's no chance we could be seated before this as they're fully booked. When I went onto my confirmation email it confirmed I'd booked 5pm. But when looking for my confirmation email, I'd recieved an email from the restaurant just an hour before we arrived stating that my booking had been changed by the restaurant to 7pm. We were finally seated (as an inconvenience it felt) half an hour later. Food was good, quick to arrive and it was lovely inside. Unfortunately we kept receiving food that we didn't order as they swapped our table number halfway through the meal, and we were worried due to the charge for not eating. We told the waitress but she didn't seem bothered we kept receiving other people's food. Finally we felt rushed to leave, I know we get 2 hours, but due to us getting in at 4.30, even though we wasn't seated due to the mix up till 5pm (our original booking time) they were ushering us out at 6.15. It's a shame, because we've been so looking forward to coming here, and I cannot fault the beauty and atmosphere of the place itself. Just the customer service needs looking at, along with how a restaurant can change bookings without confirmation. I'm aware this won't happen to everyone and if this hadn't happened to us it would've been a lovely birthday meal out. But it's all these little things which the restaurant needs to look at.

The dining space was comfortable and stylish!!!

Great food and brilliant service.

I went here with my boyfriend and it was awesome! The ambiance is nice, the staff is VERY VERY polite and the food was really good! And of course there will be a lot of Sakura trees inside 😁 It has a price though!

Primera visita a este restaurante. Las opciones de menú eran increíbles. Pedido en una tableta y una vez pedido la comida salió muy rápido. La comida estaba caliente a la llegada. Los niveles de servicio son excelentes y el personal de primera. Un montón de elección en el menú y el tamaño de las porciones era muy bueno. El restaurante está muy bien situado y muy limpio. Por eso le di una calificación de cinco estrellas. Volveré a visitar pronto.

A very cozy place, beautiful and tasty rolls, gunkans, sashimi, a large number of delicious cocktails for any taste, a good decoration of the hall, however, it was a little dark in the hall, as for our company, in general we are very satisfied👍 we paid for the entrance at 43 pounds per adult, cocktails and the bar as a whole should be paid separately👌

Quite expensive but good experience, plenty of options. Possibly a one time experience due to pricing.

Fast service and tasty food! Love ordering through the ipad, don’t have to talk to anyone lol

Amazing food. Nice Service. Good options for vegetarians.

Went there for the first time and loved it. Pictures may not look as great due to the light but I totally recommend going there. The food, taste, place itself was amazing. They do not have their own parking but other than that it was a great experience.

Simple perfect. For all occasion, service super and food amazing

First time visiting today. Food was top quality aswell as the service. Well worth the money

Well done site team ,unloaded in less than 2 mins !

My first time at this restaurant and I really enjoyed the whole experience. Food was served quickly and always piping hot. The sashimi was super fresh and delicious. The scallops were top tier.

Everything was delicious and speedy friendly service

Best restaurant in Leeds Great food, super speedy service, all the staff are lovely The ribs and scallops are unreal. Nice atmosphere. Some of the food didn’t turn up however if you point it out then they get it straight away. Really worth the money.

Lovely decor, incredible food and really good value! I've been when it's quiet and when it's busy and I'd say the food is much better when it's busy, seems fresher in some way

Been here a few times now. Booking is advised as its always very busy. Staff are very helpful The restaurant is spotless. The menu is very large so I'm sure there's something to cater for everyone. Everything is made to order so perfectly fresh an made in house. They also have a fantastic selection of drinks ,cocktails an mocktails. I look forward to going again.

I loved the concept of ordering fresh sushi on a tablet and having the culinary delights brought out to you. Very helpful staff and attentive service makes for a brilliant meal out. If you are visiting in the evening, make sure you get the scallops - simply devine! Highly recommending!

Smiling staff, clean facilities, awesome buffet style food all ordered via a tablet from the kitchen piping hot and fresh in a 2 hour window, must go for anyone wanting to diversify their oriental cuisine without the post takeaway regret of ordering something you don’t like as everything is so so nice, will be back to pig out again

CK HAS THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I’VE EXPERIENCED IN YEARS 😈 thank you for making our night and for giving us a 10/10 experience - will be recommending this place to everyone I know because of you.

Excellent service from start to finish. Thank you!

Love this place, have been a few times now and would highly recommend it

Absolutely amazing. Food was delicious, serving times fast, staff polite and professional. Cannot recommend enough, everything we ordered was out of this world. I will definitely be back again.

El pedido era elegante, el ambiente y el entorno era agradable, el personal atento. pero la comida claramente promedio. Se trata de comida asiática a escala industrial con un menú enorme la mayoría de los platos de los cuales imagino que se traen fuera. Comimos nuestro dinero, sin embargo, solo desearía haber entrado con expectativas más bajas

This place was excellent. The food was exceptional, the service was close to 5 stars, waiter was great and we had a fab time. but the welcome was not fabulous and it felt like some staff didn't want to serve despite being only 9.15pm. Please update your Google times and thanks for serving us. It was very yummy food and out server was fab.

Food was amazing only issue was when the food was arrived the waiters/waitress whispered or didn’t say what the dish was so caused some confusion but apart from that it was good food

Website claims it’s all you can eat but in reality in “conditional” in their words. Nowhere in the website does it say it’s “conditional” but again they claim you are obligated to view the menu before reservations and the menu states that it’s “conditional”. You are only limited to 30 servings of food per person. Each serving is like 3 slices of fish. 40£ for less than 1kg of fish is crazy.

Great buzz even on a weekday evening! The food was of high quality. The system crashed through the course of the meal but staff seemed unfazed and everything was sorted promptly. We were given extra table time and a discount at the end of our stay! Great customer service and will return again.

Our first date was at Blue Sakura Leeds & every year - on B-days, Anniversary or any special occasion we are always there. Absolutely amazing venue with an outstanding and delicious soul food experience. Highly recommended—it's a must!!!

absolutely amazing and attentive service. Felicia was such an amazing waiter. She deserves the world!!

Decided to visit for a birthday meal, the food was really nice, I enjoyed alot of the choices of the menu. Only fault we had with the food was the salt and pepper chicken. Very hard to chew, the flavours were great but it was dry. Service - the service was great however 30 minutes before the end of our ending 2 hours. A waiter had came and asked us if we would like the bill and we said no. And she said OK well you only have 30 more minutes. Honestly I thought that was quite rude, felt rushed to leave and when the bill was finally brought to us. The waiters were cleaning the table over us, which I found is very rude aswell. We were both still seated attempting to pay the bill whilst the waiters were leaning over us and cleaning the table. Which should have been done once we had left!! Apart from that I really enjoyed it☺️

Lovely place , bright and happy surrounding A bit pricey as we went after 4pm on a weekend. But wasn’t as much as expected The service was great they where friendly happy and fast at bringing food and clearing table from empty plates You only have. 2 hour sitting time which was enough time The food was really nice and colour full Was a bit disappointed with the logo outside tho and wasn’t turned on and wanted a picture but hopefully next time We are very much looking forward to going again But in the weekday afternoon so it’s a bit cheaper

I count myself as a regular customer now. Lunch is spectacular; tasty, colourful with quick service. It’s not cheap, but hey, who does sushi every day? (I would!)

she is very nice woman and she helped us with baby.. wish you all the best for your life

One of the very best evenings we have ever had. The food was fabulous with no bad dishes at all. The service was top notch, could not be faulted. They accommodated our wheelchair/crutches without any fuss at all and best of all gave us a separate menu and ordering pad for the food allergy at our table. This meant, the person who usually feels a little excluded felt entirely included. Very very pleased, great work. If only everyone thought this way. Super fast, super friendly. Highly highly recommended.

I had such an amazing experience for the first time in blue sakura and stuff was amazing The food the place ,i really recommend I would thank both GENevieve and evyle

Amazing food service and atmosphere. Very very good worth the money. Good variety of foods something for everyone drinks reasonably priced quick service order through a tablet very good idea makes experience better

What a fantastic restaurant! The quality of the food was impeccable, with a broad range of options. The service was extremely quick, efficient and friendly, and the atmosphere and decor in the restaurant was also really nicely done. It’s on the expensive side, but you absolutely get what you pay for, so I would say it’s worth every penny, particularly for a special occasion. I would highly recommend this restaurant and rate it among the best I have been to.

Excellent food, great service lovely atmosphere. Very thankful to the member of waiting staff who ran after me and caught me on the way out to give me my shopping bag that I had forgotten! Thank you so much! Would highly recommend!

Superb food and service amazing experience 👌

A member of staff from Hong Kong treated me and my friend differently compared to the way they served other Western customers. Absolutely appalling service—completely disappointed and will never come back again

What a once in a lifetime event! I had always dreamed of coming here and finally the opportunity arose. I came here as part of a big group of 10 and we were given 2 iPads to order our dishes. The choice was vast and a little overwhelming so I closed my eyes and clicked a few buttons. The dishes arrived quickly and they were all delicious! There wasn't a single thing I didn't enjoy. I did feel I was disgracing myself with the chopsticks though and the first thing I ate was fish eggs sushi and it exploded and I ended up with fish eggs all over me. And I forgot you weren't meant to eat the whole thing with edamame so I was struggling with that for a few minutes then realised everyone else was only eating the little soy beans or whatever they are and discarding of the pods. I really enjoyed the pudding too. All in all a great experience. Can't say it was very social as you are looking at the iPad choosing what to order half the time, and the rest of the time you are devouring the food. A once in a lifetime event.

I had a great birthday dinner here

This is an amazing restaurant. The food is just delicious and you have a large selection. I really like the way how easy it is to order with the tablet at the table. They have also some nice cocktails and the people working there are very friendly and fast to take the empty plates. Had a great time and defo will come back. :)

This was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. Great price for all you can eat!

Absolutely beautiful restaurant. The decor was lovely and so relaxing. Staff really friendly and very helpful. The young lady who came to our table with the tablet for ordering was very patient with us whilst explaining how to use it. The food was amazing. There was only one dessert but even that was amazing. We did go at lunchtime and had to wait due to not booking but it was worth every minute of the wait.

Food was very tasty and was of a good quality. Amazing atmosphere and service. Difficulty finding parking but other than that worth a visit.

Exceptional food and service. A definite dining experience. General Manager very polite,humble and efficiently proud of supporting staff. Highly recommend *****

As usual I had a fantastic meal… lots of small dishes of a wide variety of meats, fish and vegetarian foods. Not one was less than delicious. You are given a tablet and order directly from that and the food is brought out as it becomes ready so the traditional starter/main etc does not necessarily apply here. There is minimal waiting as food comes out of the kitchens fresh, hot and quickly. I particularly loved the won ton soup and had two portions. Amazing. The edamame beans, seaweed salad, grilled aubergine with teriyaki sauce were really good. Then I had tempura crab tempura king prawns, tempura vegetables, a couple of hand rolls, Japanese style mussels. The list went on. I didn’t have meat or rice or noodles but sometimes do and, again, really good. By this time I was too full for the dessert so had a simple half scoop of ice cream to finish off. Highly recommend. Worth rebooking for busier times.

Amazing place genevieve was v good

Had a lovely bottomless sushi lunch, the staff and food were amazing - thanks Genevieve!

Amazing food and beautiful surroundings 🥰 Genevieve was a star

Absolute gem of a restaurant serving all you can eat. You're given a tablet to order from and can do so for around 1.5 hours. The staff are lovely, food to die for and the restaurant is very pretty with it's fake cherry blossom trees and ambient lighting. They cater for dairy free and gluten free and provide you with a separate menu to check whilst you order on the tablet. Absolutely love this place and have been coming here every year for 4 years to celebrate special occasions. P.s. the tempura prawns are amazing

Always a great dining experience at Blue Sakura, the service from the staff is next to none, always so polite and professional 👏👏👏 highly recommend!

Food was excellent and that grilled clam was superb. Our server William is very professional, friendly and make us felt welcoming

The food is outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The experience is made even better by Willian’s exceptional service. Attentive, friendly, and always on top of things, he ensures a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommend both the food and service!

I had the pleasure of interacting with William during my recent visit and was truly impressed by his professionalism and warmth. The genuine smile makes me feel very welcomed and valued as a customer.

Me and my lads had a wonderful evening at Blue Sakura. We had interacted warmly with the staff named William. We felt valued and impressed by his professionalism and services he provided.

It's a very nice and pleasant place for a date. The food and cocktaik was amazing especially the salmon was very fresh. William was very kind and friendly. I enjoyed the overall experience. Will visit again!

Food was delicious. Me and my girlfriend had a great time at blue sakura! William was fantastic! Attentive, friendly, and efficient, he made our meal even more enjoyable. Great service all around!

William provided outstanding service! He was attentive, friendly, and made our dining experience truly enjoyable.

Amazing food, very busy and been the 1st time was a little strange , but once the food started flowing

Delicious food, well presented. Go with a good appetite and get your money's worth. Huge choice of dishes.

This place is busy! Make sure you book before you go. we turned up for lunch thinking we could walk in but they said they were fully booked for the day. Really disappointed as we had travelled to eat here. The man at the desk did not even suggest we could book for the evening, we realised this ourselves thankfully and booked an evening slot. The website is poor. Extremely slow and frustrating. The food here is good. It's fresh for sure and it tasted nice. The sushi was my favourite and the salt and pepper chicken. However, I do not think this meal is worth over £40 per person. I do think it's overpriced. The staff were great, very attentive and quick with orders and picking up plates. I don't think I'd visit again but it was a good experience to try.

Food was amazing, all the Staff were fantastic, very friendly and extremely helpful. Sand went out of her way to help us and made our evening. Thank you

We came to Blue Sakura to celebrate our anniversary and our engagement and the staff were soo lovely and were very attentive. William greeted us with glasses of champagne and they even gave us a cute surprise at the end.

Good atmosphere and great food. The staff was lovely we had William he was very helpful throughout the night.

Each dish was flavoursome, the service was efficient and the atmosphere was great! The only downsides were 1) the lack of dessert options - sorbet or icecream would have enhanced the menu 2) the price of drinks

Food was amazing! Exactly choice seated by the wonderful Tracey who looked after us all night she was a pleasure to be around so warm and attentive and she was very kind thanks for the a good experience Tracey because of you we will return !! 😊

Recomendado por amigos debido a que somos grandes fans de la comida asiática. Hemos tenido suerte de pasar mucho tiempo en el sudeste asiático y la comida de esta noche no nos decepcionó. El lugar era relajante, amable con el personal, además de siempre disponible y lo más importante es que la comida era genial. Gracias Blue Sakura volveremos el año que viene cuando visite a su familia en Yorkshire

Plenty of choice Everything we had was amazing. Really recommend it. Although save for a special occasion. It quiet pricey

Really good concept ... Easy ordering system and food comes super quick ... Staff is friendly also ... Very much worth it

Lovely place, good staff, fabulous food. One of our favourite places. Just need a couple of lighter sweets.

Really good food and cocktails. Will definitely be coming back again.

Good Food very expensive not a place to regular visit but a nice place for an experience

I’ve been coming here since 2021 and the food is amazing, they’re amazing and the price is worth it!

Plenty of choice. However it needs ice cream as a dessert

Great experience, will definitely be back

Never been disappointed in this restaurant. The food the atmosphere and the drinks are all 10/10.

I would rate sakura as super amazing food ..must try

Our first visit here, the staff were very friendly and informative, the iPad ordering was really easy, food was lovely, well certainly go back again.

With a beautiful Japanese ambiance enjoy the tasty food, must try for food lovers!!!

It was a wonderful evening. The food was so easy to order and came along very quickly whenever we ordered it, meaning it didn’t get cold and it gave us a few minutes between ordering to have a rest. The choice was enormous, there’s something for everyone. My daughter is vegan and she was delighted with the choice. My favourites were there-sushi, tempura king prawns, vegetable spring rolls-to name but a few. It was delicious. The service was also very quick and staff were very friendly and helpful.

Love this place and the food os always spot on. Service sometimes a little rushed .

Service very quick pleasant friendly staff food very good

First time coming here and had the best time! We were celebrating our wedding anniversary, the atmosphere was great, delicious food and the service was 5/5! Definitely a nice place to go for a special occasion/date night !

What a brilliant idea. Highly recommend you visit for the experience. Food is tasty. Staff are lovely.

Everything was cooked fresh and tasted amazing. The staff were great too.

food was 10/10 our waiter Darryl was absolutely amazing, great energy and very good at his job. plus gave us some good recommendations. Perfect.

Wow, nothing else to say but WOW again. 👍😁

Absolutely lovely food and staff, I ate so much I thought I would explode - Daryl was so lovely and the best server- as it was our going he helped us with everything we needed and made the experience absolutely smooth and enjoyable. Could not recommend enough!!

Food was all really tasty, drinks were brilliant. Would go again

One of the best place for fine dining all you can eat! Fantastic. I highly recommend this place. Foods were great and Staffs were attentively awesome .Thank you for the ice cream candle blowing ❤️❤️❤️ we will definitely come back.

Amazing experience! The food was great and staff friendly. Special thank you to our waitress Sand

The sushi's rice quality is very poor, dry and hard, it does not even have the inherent sweet and sour taste of sushi rice. The stir-fried dishes taste like Chinese food. Aside from the professional service, I found the food to be far worse than take-a-ways.

Amazing experience, one of the best restaurants in Leeds. Sand was my waitress, and she was lovely and friendly all throughout the evening.

If you know what good food tastes like don’t eat here. Yes food is okay but is comparable to the sushi you’d find in the supermarket or a cheap fast food shop. Lots of the produce is definitely frozen and not fresh, sushi rice is terrible quality. Honestly could have eaten more but had enough of the poor food after a short while. Menu is also very limited to basic unoriginal items with nothing unique or interesting so gets boring very quickly. The iPads are a cool idea and I see why the place has lots of good reviews (buffet, fancy food on paper etc.) but the actual food quality is rather poor. Definitely not worth £40-50 a head. Plenty of other non buffet style sushi restaurants at lower price points with much better quality.
