Sakura Izakaya Bar & Tapas in Islington

We went a group of friends and there has been 40 min gap since the first person served to the last.. Then the only way they offer to split the bill was equally.. When there was a big difference between what each member of the table order..quality was decent but cuantity of some plates really small...I don't like to make these bad comments but I am sorry they have to improve a lot.. Specially the time between plates.

Where can I start? Firstly, I was served by someone who clearly had no experience of working in a restaurant, nor with people! I ordered take away and was told the food would be 30 minutes. I then went back when my food should have been ready and was told that it was going to be longer. I waited around for another 10 minutes. I was then told that instead of one dish, they had accidentally made another dish which they would give to me free as I was told that the actual dish I wanted would take another 10 minutes. Then as I had no faith what-so-ever that they had my order right, I decided to check the contents of my bag. Surprise, surprise... there was something missing so I went straight back in and queried the issue. All in all, it took me 50 minutes to get some food for take away and when I complained I was told that Japanese food takes a long time to cook to do properly and they also had other customers in the restaurant (only one table at the time I made my order). I got the food home, the sushi was warm as it had been gracefully packed with the hot food and the hot food was cold as we had to wait around so long. I've eaten a lot of Japanese food in restaurants across the world (including Japan) and this is be far the worst experience I have ever had. The Japanese would be actually ashamed of our customer service experience. Don't bother even trying this one.

A really modern and delicious selection of Japanese street food, all served in a fresh clean atmosphere. Loved the hand thrown pottery,and other simple attentions to detail - the fortune cookies, the decor and the lovely warm and easy conversations with the owners. A true gem hidden away on Caledonian Road.

On a choisi cette adresse car pratique a cote de notre.logement. C était bon et sympa, le cadre est agréable. Bémol sur le service un peu long.
