Sakura in Manchester

This was a major let down, the robots didn't even serve us. Food very poor, long wait and tasted like a crap take away. I cook far superior as I'm into Asian cooking...won't be back. 100 quid wasted....

I go to the one in Cheetham Hill The food is delicious & they were very good to help me with my disability - i was helped to a table where i could change from my wheelchair to my seat My favourites are the chicken dumplings & the vegetables (served in the heart shaped dished), the noodles (in the leaf shaped dish) i love the luttle beef cubes as well I just wish we were allowed to order some dishes from theevening menu in the afternoon as there are many dishes that i thought looked lovely Only criticisms for me is the ordering system. Giving out an ipod to make orders is a bit bizzare There are actually people not tech savvy who cant use ipods simply because they dont know how or could be blind (even when a sighted person still cant understand how to use it despite being shown - the elderly for example. So there should be a hard copy of the menu as well & a braille versiom for those who are blind I love the little robots Other critcism iis thete should be a takeaway as well so that if people who cant get out can enjoy the food as well

The food was great and came at a good time, the staff were very hospitable and the atmosphere was great. Couldn't have asked for more!

They have a good veggie section the price is reasonable and the food is very good quality for an all you can eat place. I would recommend the seaweed salad, the cucumber salad, the udon soup, the fried noodles and the vegetarian crispy roll. They have cute robots that bring your food to the table too. The only thing that was a little annoying is there is a £6.50 table charge that wasn’t advertised also unsure where it goes.

Very tasty food and nice, friendly and warm staff. I highly recommend ! For sure I will be back soon

Muy caro, pero una oportunidad para conocer cosas que de otra manera no probaría.El servicio fue sutil, casi inexistente hasta que tuvieron que pagar o estar sentados. El lugar estaba en gran parte vacío, tan pacífico ambiente. Parecía limpio. No tengo quejas de mi parte.De acuerdo, la mitad de la comida que pedí en la tableta de pedido no higiénico no apareció, pero puedes seguir ordenando.Por el precio, mis visitas serán raras. Pero, en general, fue una experiencia agradable.

Primera visita a este restaurante, y no me impresionó el servicio lento, en primer lugar este restaurante se anuncia como todo lo que puedes comer, pero no es estilo buffet, pides tu comida en tableta 5 artículos a la vez durante 5 rondas, ninguno de tus alimentos la orden sale al mismo tiempo que puede esperar hasta 15 minutos entre los artículos, también agregan un cargo adicional por cualquier comida que no coma y cualquier niño entre 4 y 16 cuesta 10 pero le cobrará un precio de adulto de 21 si son más altos que 5 pies.No iré allí de nuevo.

Bebidas simples están bien, aunque no de cuarentena su pureza. No es un lugar muy limpio.Probablemente es el grupo objetivo es el de estudiantes o personas que quieren emborrachar sin tener altas expectativas desde el lugar, el menú o el servicio. No lo recomendaría.

La comida no era nada bueno. . En la placa. tirado y degustación horrible! En realidad apestaba de pollo crudo! Los Chefs tuvimos que tirar huevos Actuación de circo y herramientas alrededor. . Muy tonto que les hace hacer eso en vez de cocinar buena comida! No ambiente agradable porque cada es simplemente agitado. . . Una experiencia terrible y muy caro (no importa perder una noche de mi vida en un lugar como éste. . El tiempo es muy valioso!. ). . .

We went for a drink yesterday lunch and when I picked up the drinks menu it was all wet and sticky We sat down and the table was sticky and so were the chairs We won't be back

última noche, fuimos recibidos por un precioso promotor, personal de la puerta donde agradable, el personal del bar no parecía estar allí, DJ abajo parecía lamentable. Música estaba bien. fotógrafo bienen general tenía una gran noche (despedida) música podría haber estado mejor y bar personal podía levantar una sonrisa

Fuimos en aquí alrededor de las 8:00 en un sábado por la noche. No es el lugar más activo en la manzana, o en cualquier momento hasta 10 cuando nos fuimos.Las bebidas son cócteles razonable alrededor de £8.00 para solteros y las jarras de compartir alrededor de £20.00 . Los cócteles no gustarán las jarras son una buena relación calidad-precio, pero sin duda puedo decir la individual.Yo no soy un amante de cócteles así que bebimos "pasado de moda" - un Woodford Reserve Bourbon, 45% insonorizadas y muy sabrosa. La esposa de varios cócteles en el menú.La música es buena, aunque mientras estábamos en muchos otros y no estaba demasiado ruidoso. Si hubiera habido más huéspedes la iluminación, la música y calefacción quizás hubiera sido mejor, hacenofertas de cócteles (hora antes de ir), nos iban a dar dos de precios de uno, así que no puedo quejarme.

Fui a este lugar temprano en la noche era un buen tiempo así que la mayoría de la gente estaba fuera. Unos cuantos cócteles están en oferta, que nos pareció bastante razonable. Parece un poco bar estadounidense con una buena selección de bebidas a su disposición. La música era danza y creo que sería una noche ideal para los más jóvenes. Yo en mis años cuarenta así que me sentí un poco viejo en aquí pero aún así tuvimos un tiempo agradable. Un muy buen buen aspecto hombre detrás del bar nos sirvió y traído de las bebidas. Un buen toque para nosotros más viejas señoras.

El personal del bar ~ no animado, parece que no quieren estar allí. 3 shock para hacer unos cócteles, eso es una batidora para mí.Me preguntaron cuál es la banda de Ace, que hizo para encontrar el gerente.promotores ~ buenos chicos, es una pena que están promoviendo un bar con cero el servicio al cliente.Photograher ~ buen trabajo y buen ojo para los detallesmúsica ~ me encanta,pero no volveremos, después de una parte del personal intentó tomar ventaja de mi amigo arriba en el baño después de haber algunas bebidas.No te sientes como un lugar seguro.

Sólo nos alojamos arriba para el momento en que donde aquí, muy espaciosas y elegantes, cócteles donde precioso especialmente mi favorito Amaretto sourz. chica que nos sirvió parecía bastante miserable no decir una palabra todo el tiempo con nosotros, pero bueno no estás allí para hacer mejores colegas supongo que yo.Hay un bar pequeño y agradable, lo recomiendo.

Vinimos aquí por un cumpleaños de un amigo. La mesa era extremadamente pequeña para el número de personas y que era materialmente imposible de todos en forma alrededor de ella. Las botellas tenía que ser la seguridad marcadas y al lado de la mesa es difícil pour y pase botellas. Hacia el final de la noche una de las camareras nos dijo que uno de los miembros de nuestro grupo para slouching en el sofá y le dije que volver a casa si estaba cansado!! Nos quejamos de esto, sin embargo, la camarera intentó dejar y a la salida a propósito bajó un trago de la mano a la vista del personal porteros y otro. Hay un montón de bares para ir en Manchester, pero esto simplemente no es uno de ellos.

Yo y otras 7 asistieron a para la víspera y reservamos un stand de la planta baja que cuesta 300 libras de que nos informaron que podíamos pasar en alcohol. Como llegamos estaba vacío nos llevó a nuestro stand y la camarera llegó a tomar nuestra orden ... pedimos 3 litro de las botellas más baratas de ... barato de vodka que 100 libras por persona, así que nos esperábamos Smirnoff por lo menos. Cuando llegó, fue un hacer que ninguno de nosotros hemos oído. Cada uno de nosotros tomamos una copa y ninguno de nosotros podía beber de él era repugnante. Tratamos de tomar una copa en el bar nos conseguir ignorado por las demás personas obviamente para que pudieran tomar más dinero. La camarera le dijo que si pagamos £30 ella un cargo por servicio que ella lo que nos sirvieron bebidas en nuestra mesa (sin embargo, se declaró que esto sería incluido en el precio de la cabina) después de eso no vimos ella toda la noche. Los baños son unisex, tuve un chico a pie en mi wc independiente y me piden que 'ir' chicas daban patadas la puerta cuando se tomó más de 2 minutos a wee. No hay papel higiénico. La lista es interminable. Terminamos saliendo a las 12.30 en fin un dolor después de la horrible vodka y no hay forma posible para conseguir otra bebida. Hay lugares fantásticos para ir en Manchester

We had our company Christmas party here. I've never been here before and frankly I won't be going back. The bar staff were slow, lazy, unfriendly and disorganised.They ran out of glasses and some drinks. The toilets weren't cleaned, The general atmosphere was pretty poor.After being ignored for 20 minutes at the bar myself and my friends left to go somewhere to pay to actually get a drink... Horrible venue.

I travelled with a group of friends to this club (08/11/2014) and I have to say - I was extremely disappointed with the night. The girls selling the cards for discount to enter gave us false hope as to the music being r'n'b - it was PURE dance which was not what we wanted. We travelled all the way from Birmingham to celebrate my mates birthday and even had some guests arrive from London! On numerous occasions we requested to the DJ to play at least a few tracks but he literally started a track and changed it to dance. I was recommended this by the promoters and a previous friends - I have to say I usually love Manchester nights but this was probably one of the worst nights I had - purely based on the music and the lack of attention the DJ had - I don't think he really cared. I believe others who we spoke to on the night requested music which wasn't played. I rarely write reviews, but needed to provide feedback as people need to be aware of what the place is going to be like - on a honest basis especially when so much money was invested in staying over in Manchester/travel etc.Extremely upset and disappointed! If you like dance - great, if not strongly advise not to go!

Love this place always a great night & never experienced any problems with the door staff, show them respect & you will get it back. Bar prices are reasonable for Manchester & surrounding bars. If there is a group book onto guest list.

we popped into Sakura with a friend, as my husband and I had a great night there during the world cup, but my god it's gone a bit downhill, there were 7/8 customers in there at 11pm and after 1/2 an hour the bouncers put up barriers inside the bar, keeping the few customers near the window and forcing them to go downstairs to use the loos! there was no atmosphere and the drinks are extortionate £100 for a £40 bottle of Smirnoff, No Thanks! we went to a bar further up which was busy and lively.

Always busy, great reasonably priced drinks, a really good vibe! Good mix of music and peopleStaff are lovely and helpful.one of Manchester's best

Appalled that me and my friends booked a VIP table on bank holiday for a friends birthday and paid over £400 for it! Two girls came over and sat in our booth, when my friend, who's birthday it was, asked one of them to not sit there (as she was suspicious she was drinking our drinks also) she said "I will sit where ever the f*** I want" so it escalated quickly - The girl threw a drink all over my friends new £200 light blue dress so when I had confronted her why she did that her friend got involved, but I turned away. I'm not a fan of confrontation. Then next thing I know I've got a drink poured on my legs!I wasn't happy about this at all and asked her why did she do that? Then she threw another drink at me! The bouncers saw that there was a problem, I tried explaining, but next thing I know I'M the one getting dragged out, by my arm, where I now have a bruise. And my two guy friends tried helping me, but both ended up with black eyes from the bouncers getting aggressive! Then we had got thrown out and not allowed back in? Then next thing, the other 10 of my friends got asked to leave by the bouncers?! After spending all that money we had only had two hours in there!!!!!!When we had got thrown out, me and my two friends got talking to a bouncer nearby from another club and he said they had lots of complaints about the bouncers in Sakura. I've been to Sakura 3 times before and never had a problem, always been a good night and good events but definitely never visiting there again because of the bouncers and I suggest to any one don't go! And if you do, don't spend lots of money there because once they've got your money they don't care about you!!!!

The new managerial staff are horrendous, a five year old could do better than them, very biased even though we were spending a lot of money at the bar. Avoid where possible, not even worth the disgusting behaviour and unhelpful people that work there, i will not be attending again or associating myself with thieves which get away through staff, highly unprofessional. The manger is not helpful what so ever, please do not go to avoid being upset with theft.

I used to go here a lot as my friend was a promoter for one of the nights but I didn't go for a while and decided I'd go for my birthday in August. What a mistake that was!To begin with I had a drink spilt all down my brand new duck egg grey silk dress - we didn't get off to a good start. Alongside us were a large group of burly men with they're Thai brides who were dancing like it was a strip club. It felt awful to be there but we were determined to have a good time. We then moved downstairs where it got even seedier, it was really awful! I had arranged VIP for the night, I had emails to confirm it but when we got downstairs they claimed they knew nothing and it was too full. Sorry but you'll turn people away when there's a minimum spend in there? They must be immune to the recession!I really wouldn't go again, we ended up cutting the night short which was such a shame.

Friendly staff, cheap drinks, good night had by all, 2nd visit and will certainly come again, we didn't eat so can't comment on food, we never paid so must have been early

Cool nightclub. We didn't have dinner. Average age of people not too young.Even for me (41) a funny place.

Each member of staff I encountered treated me with utter disdain, and made it clear that they were entirely disinterested in working there.The bouncers were rude and aggressive. As a girl on my own, they refused to help me, and informed me that I was not good enough to be allowed in, despite having previously paid to get in, and having a stamp to prove so.Entry and drinks were completely overpriced. Do not book a table as it is unnecessary and they will simply cram you around a table that is not big enough. When I complained the waitress rolled her eyes and walked off.The whole vibe is pretentious, and as if the club is doing you a favour by even allowing you in there.I would not go back there if you paid me and would not recommend it to anyone.

We visited for a friend's birthday, and it was not her cup of tea. Poor service from the one of the bar staff who did not want to be there - the perils of having a Saturday night job, I am pretty sure there are other people in Manchester that would be happy to have it so if she didn't like working there she should just leave. She dumped our 'laughing buddha' jug of cocktail in front of us and walked off to find some other people to give poor customer service to. Do not be fooled by the name. the Laughing Buddha is nothing to laugh about. It tastes awful and the jugs are not cheap at £18 a pop. I drank it because I paid so much for it, and it was nearly all ice.Another thing to be weary of are the doormen, they went on a huge power trip with some people in the queue for no apparent reason.Would not be my future number one choice on a night out, but would not avoid it, if that makes sense?

After booking a booth in panacea for my 30th 8 months in advance and getting refused by there knuckle head door men I thought my bday was ruined....we all jumped into a cab and ended up at deans gate locks and came across Sakura the lad at the door was more than happy to find us a booth with table service, once at the door Hayley ( promotions manager) was more than happy to help and accommodate us, we got a great booth had amazing service and a great night. Thanks to these guys they made my bday night great and complete I would return and would recommend it to anyone I no...stay away from panacea I wish I had listened to the reviews on here 1st. Thanks again.

I booked a VIP table for my friends stag party on avert busy Saturday night. We had some issues with the doorman, but overall I understand that he were just doing his job. Tania and Hayley are really friendly and made sure we got looked after. Jess who looked after my party gave us an outstanding service. The service gives Sakura the reputation and I am glad that I have met Hayley and jess. Thank you again.

Visited here on a sat early evening to have sushi and some drinks. The bar itself is lovely, atmosphere can be a little lacking to begin with it doesn't start to get bar busy until around 10pm and even then less do than the other bars on the locks.they do a range of different yet nice cocktails half price every evening which is even better. The food selection was good we had both mains and sushi and was impressed with everything, tasted great and presented lovely. Bar and waiting staff all seemed friendly.

I went on a Saturday night with the girls for my birthday, and although the place looks funky, we had to pay to get in and when we got in there it was dead - no atmosphere.

Door staff were and grabbed my friend by the throat for no reason. Would never come back, and would try the bars next door which were much better and friendlier.

great nightclub with friendly staff. Bring ID as they ask everyone for it and it costs £5 to get in. Dresscode varies so check on the website before going. It gets very busy around midnight and goes on until 4am (not sure if thats every night) the music was r'n'b hip hop and pop with the odd dance track. Drinks are resonably priced

We all had a starter and bento box each and every item was tasty and perfectly prepared. The sushi was fresh and tasty and I would go back just to sample a few more of the sushi dishes. The bento box also came with miso soup, each of us had a different bento box but we were all equally impressed. Mine was tofu with rice, pickles and a lovely salad. They also have an impressive list of cocktails, some more unusual than others. We finished the night on some saki shots!!! The service was excellent too, the staff were efficient and knowledgeable about the food and cocktail menu, we will be going back to sample some more Japanese food.

Visited again and food was still excellent and deal on offer worked out cheaper than the last visit. Cocktails were again half price! The service this time was much quicker and faultless. The young lady (short blonde curly hair) that served us was so friendly and made excellent recommendations, which we followed. We can't wait to visit again soon!!

Fantastic place, the food was gorgeous, atmosphere lovely and service was brilliant. Will come again when I'm in Manchester!!!!! Well done.

Visited with partner before show at the comedy store on a Friday evening. Service was a bit slow, but luckily we had allowed for plenty of time before the show started. We made the most of the early evening half price cocktails anyway! We ordered a bento box for £6.50 which included soup, sticky rice and choice of tempura meat/veg. We ordered a couple of pieces of sushi to taste for £1.95. Food was delicious and would certainly return! I was surprised at how cheap it was considering it was a nice sit down meal in the middle of Manchester.
