Sakura Japanese Restaurant in Manchester

Great food and great fun! Good selection of beverages too! Highly recommended!

The tip was included in our bill, but nobody asked us if we want to tip...and it's a 10% ...

I didn't like it, the food was mid or worse, the ordering system is annoying because if you're between 1 and 6 people you only get one tablet to order from, which was annoying, only fun thing was the robots and only because of the novelty. TLDR, it wasn't worth 28 pounds.

Came her for the bottomless sushi for 2 hour. Really lovely food and very efficient service from the little robots! Enjoyed the menu which had plenty to choose from. Very good value for money in terms of the volume of food we got. The restaurant itself is also lovely and has beautiful decor. I would say, sashimi comes with an extra charge which is slightly annoying as it’s our favourite. Staff weren’t so friendly but pleasant enough. I also liked the idea of ordering from a tablet so we had time to choose, but the tablet was quite smashed up and slow. Another pre warning, they do charge for any leftovers so be careful not to over order. Overall great though, and I would go again.

Absolutely love this place! The sushi is always so nice and fresh. I love how you place your order through an ipad and the food is delivered promptly by a robot. All you can eat, freshly brought to your table.

I expected something super outstanding. But. The waiter spoke too quietly when explaining the service. The table we were sitting at was extremely uncomfortable because the seat attached to the floor could not be moved to the table. With a sore back, the food was not very pleasant. The food looked great, the flavors were to my taste. Incredibly tasty plum wine 🍷. Expensive buffet.

The sushi rolls were delicious and the variety was impressive. The fried dishes, were crispy and flavourful. Definitely worth a visit!

Amazing food and the robot servers are a very novel and nice touch! Would definitely come back!

It was a nice dinning experience for me. Will definitely revisit.

We went for a family meal, we paid £200 and we requested to remove the service charge (£20), the girl didn't complain and she said it was OK. After that we wanted to get two £5 notes instead of a £10 so we could give a couple of tips to the waiters that served us and the owner was so rude and said not and was blaming the girl who worked there because he was accusing her of not forcing us to pay the service charge. The owner treats their workers with disrespect, because of this we will not go back and will not recommend to friends and family.

visiting for the first time enjoyed the experience but found food needs improving the chicken was tuff and skin left which cursed you to have to chew,it was not tender as it should have been the confectionery counters was great full of small cakes which were excellent due to the price paid quality was poor

Great sushi, fast service and love the robots

Really delicious sushi with great service, decent sized car park and the kitch decor really makes the experience

Llevamos varios años y la comida nunca ha decepcionado. Gran sabor y sabores. El servicio de un robot es un toque peculiar. Amplio aparcamiento y muy accesible si está en silla de ruedas. Ambiente agradable. También un restaurante muy familiar. Los niños se sienten muy bienvenidos. La única desventaja que encuentro, aunque para ser justos se indica claramente en el sitio web, es la tasa de servicio obligatorio, que es del 10 %. Viendo como servida por robots piensan que podría ser bajada. Pero es un lugar increíble para ir y bien vale la pena

The highlight has to be the little robot that brings your order right to the table

No fue una mala experiencia, pero no creo que volvamos. Es un restaurante todo lo que se puede comer, pero la comida tiene que pedirse a través de una aplicación. La aplicación es muy lenta, ya que te estás desplazando y se retrasa mucho. Puedes pedir 5 platos pequeños cada uno a la vez, cada 10 minutos. Es casi como tapas chinas. La comida llegó bastante rápido a través de un robot, que era un poco de una novedad. A medida que el restaurante comenzó a llenarse durante nuestra visita, los robots fueron reemplazados por el personal que traía la comida. 7 pm un sábado por la noche. El estándar alimenticio era mediocre en el mejor de los casos. El sushi era bastante fresco pero bastante soso en sabor y variedad. Solo un montón de opciones fritas, baratas y te llenan rápidamente. No creo que valgan las 30 libras cada uno en mi opinión, en retrospectiva hubiera preferido gastar el dinero en una comida decente con menos comida pero de mejor calidad.

Waitress was really rude and manager was rude but food was alright 2/10

I was impressed from nice atmosphere, good food and amazing friendly and supportive staff... Great experience! T

A must visit in Manchester, great service always greeted with the warmest welcome even on a busy evening. And the food is well worth the money, go hungry as you will want it all. Bonus! Who doesn't want robots bring you your food.

The food was amazing. There were lot's of choices. The Robot was very quick and the staff were extremely nice. The Atmosphere made me feel like I am actually in Japan

Food was fantastic, staff friendly and helpful, will definitely be returning.

Largos intervalos entre platos llegando, estuvimos esperando mucho tiempo sin comida durante toda la comida entre las 7. 30 pm a 8 . 30 pm. Preguntamos al personal que dijo que la cocina estaba ocupada. Algunos platos no llegaron en absoluto/

Super cool Japanese restaurant that all you can eat. Plenty of choices. The food is served to your table by robots as you can see in the video.

In the past few days, while browsing Xiaohongshu, I noticed that this Japanese food buffet is very delicious. As a result, my girlfriend and I went to eat. First of all, this restaurant is really terrible. Only the dishes look good. All the dishes in it feel like pre-made dishes, even worse than normal pre-made dishes. I feel like buying some pre-made dishes from iceland and frying them will be better than the ones here. The tempura is just a little bit of dough without any meat inside. The most important thing is that their soy sauce is bitter and their wasabi has no taste at all. We put a big spoonful of wasabi in it and found that this wasabi I didn't even taste any flavor. All the desserts in the buffet were made of margarine. I had the most disgusting tiramisu I have ever tasted in my life. The drinks in it actually cost money and there were no free drinks. The two of them ended up losing 70 pounds in blood and were disgusted. The lights inside are dark and dirty. There is no service at all and there is a 10% service fee. It seems that it is rare for a restaurant with an average price of 35 pounds per person to be so delicious. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Give everyone some lightning protection.

Fresh quality food cute Robots deliver to your table friendly staff

Buena relación calidad-precio todo lo que pueda comer buffet con platos individuales servidos por robots. La elección y el servicio decente fue eficiente. Algunos platos podrían haber sido un poco más picante y un poco más caliente, en cuanto al calor, pero para mí, pero en general un buen lugar para ir ofreciendo una buena relación calidad-precio.

We come here often, food is delicious, good atmosphere, and worth the price!

We asked them to take a picture of us after finishing food. But the lady just asked the manager to take picture with a angry face cause she doesn't want to take. Then the manager was also talking to her loudly and gave negative response. Then both of them just went otherway. No one told us anything at all. It was so bad and we paid service charge here also cause its added automatically. So rude behaviour. They could just told us also of they don't want to take photo or busy or something.

It was too expensive for the service offered. >£4 for a pint of Tango. The food may not be your cup of tea and you are limited to how many times you can order for food.

Some great sushi and Japanese dishes, especially if you go for the all you can eat!

Amazing restaurant and good selection of Japanese foods .

No estoy seguro de si me gustó la comida japonesa así que probé este buffet. Encontré muchas cosas que podía probar. Los tamaños de las porciones eran buenos, pero no demasiado grandes, así que realmente podrías probar una variedad sin pasarte de largo. Un cartel sobre la mesa decía que cobrarían si se ordena y deja demasiado bien, pero no hay evidencia de esto que sea justo. El personal era muy amable. La calidad de la comida muy buena. Los postres eran ligeros y encantadores. El servicio era por camarero robot que era muy divertido y fácil de usar. Con todo, buenas noches.

Great experience, and the food was amazing. We will definitely come back everytime we want a good sushi.

Food wasn’t fresh, all frozen and not fresh made.

Food not fresh sticky rice is hard and cold .Very good services because of robot

Nice overall, fun robot waiters, food nice but not everthing was amazing. Some dishes definitely better than others and it's not really that cheap for a buffet style place. Still enjoyed it a lot and would go back.

Food was delicious. Service was extremely fast and very friendly, despite a full house that evening.

Was very impressed with this place, went on a Monday night so it was only quiet but we enjoyed ourselves. Not usually a fan of these buffets but the food here is all made fresh to order and brought out by robots which I think is really cool. Great dining experience, lovely staff and the restaurant itself is beautiful. Highly recommend if you love sushi and asian food.

I’ve got eel fish with mold taste !!! staff is good but food terrible. for 2 people we paid 60 pounds for food . It's better to go to a good expensive restaurant for this money, don’t waste your time !

Food is nothing special and a definite lack of choice for what you pay, the service robot while being a fun distraction only brought about 10% of our order. For a Saturday night the atmosphere was a bit flat and quiet. Overall, it was okay but don't think would go back, better all you can eat in Manchester

very average food but very cute robots. worth it for the novelty/experience but not much else

If need to eat Asian buffet it's my go to shop.

I think this is a very good restaurant, which is very suitable for dinner with friends and family. The people here are very friendly, and the sushi is very delicious, and the food is served very quickly.

First of all, the staff are great. We're returning customers and the staff recognise us and they always greet us warmly, they chat with you a bit sometimes and the robots are great and the food also comes out quickly. (maybe it's just me, but they are kinda cute.) . You also get it for a decent price (around £29.95) , and a dessert is included where you serve yourself. 1 pint of Coca Cola is also just £2.50. The food portions and taste is great, it's also fresh. There's also a variety of Sushi and food such as Nigiris. The toilets are great and is big, it also is well maintained and VERY clean for a restaurant toilet, so is the restaurant itself. I will be coming back again soon.

Food was good and the robot waiters were cool, but the ordering was so confusing especially when there was 9 of us and the waiters didn't tell us what they were putting in front of us. We had a vegetarian friend, and they didn't know which one was the vegetarian rolls or noodles.

Best Sushi in the city. Absolutely love coming to this place, great options, great vibes. Always leave satisfied..can't recommend enough ☺️ (don't accept AMEX 😞)

Gorgeous restaurant with adorable robots

Best ayce sushi in Manchester! The robot cats bringing food are a nice gimmick, but the repetitive high pitch voice wears thin quickly. Still, the food more than makes up for it!

It’s a great place but probably not for me as I find the proportional of rice it way too much to the portion of the fish or meat. And having to pay extra for sashimi is such a misleading concept of a buffet sushi. It would be a great place to eat if you like rice a lot but for me it wasn’t as enjoyable as all I could taste was rice. Also bring your own wasabi was it was probably very old and all the favour had left to heaven.

First time here and we absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was serene, and the service was really great. Immediately we finished eating, our table was cleared. The food was just amazing, I loved and enjoyed everything we ordered. Anytime I'm in Manchester I'll definitely pass through again

I recently dined at Sakura in Greater Manchester, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish! This sushi restaurant combines the best of traditional Japanese cuisine with a modern twist that sets it apart. The sushi at Sakura was exceptional – fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Each dish was a testament to the chef’s expertise, with perfectly balanced flavors and textures that left me wanting more. The menu was diverse, offering a wide range of sushi rolls, sashimi, and nigiri, each more delicious than the last. But what truly stood out to me was the unique dining experience provided by Sakura. The restaurant has embraced innovation by using robots to deliver food to the tables! Watching the adorable robots navigate the dining room with precision was a delight in itself and added a fun, futuristic touch to the meal. It’s a perfect blend of technology and tradition, making dining here not just a meal but an experience to remember. The service was outstanding – attentive, friendly, and efficient. The staff ensured that every detail was taken care of, adding a personal touch to the high-tech environment. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and welcoming, with a contemporary design that made it feel both cozy and sophisticated. If you’re in Greater Manchester and looking for a sushi experience that combines exceptional food with innovative service, Sakura is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return!

Great atmosphere, food was delivered so quick and the robots were very unique. We came from north wales so worth the drive

Excellent. Great food and great service. The decor is lovely, they've really made an effort. The order at your table via a tablet is a wonderful (and dangerous) method. Certainly the best all you can eat buffet I've been to. Update: With the cost of energy sky rocketing it can be seen in the increase in price and the much thinner cut fish, the tuna in particular was not cut well, I had nigri that was 4 shavings of tuna on a mound of rice. They now have a robot server Update: which now seems to access much of the ground floor area. It signs happy birthday too. It's quite adorable. Update: My rating drop from 5 to 4 is due to major disappointment when I ordered the tea. It used to be loose-leaf in a pot but now is a teabag in a cup. I appreciate that costs of things affect what they can serve but this quality drop is a shame, I think it would have been better to add an option so the customer can choose the cheap tea cup or the superior loose leaf teapot. I'll never drink jasmine tea from a teabag.

It is not only an amazing sushi place, good price and very nice atmosphere. You are being served here by Robots! What could possibly be better. Feeling like in sci-fi movie. A must go for Manchester visitors!!

I think the manager needs to change his attitude, he doesn’t smile at all even the staff are not friendly! You should be kind and smile more in people faces. Food was great but the service wasn’t.

went upstairs for hotpot, meat and veg were fresh, hotpot taste is ok, average level.the sushi roll is average as well. but the starter dishes were not taste well, not recommended. staffs are friendly and helpful, very kind. price is a little high, specially for kids,

Had the cutest little robot server and the food was delicious! Price definitely reasonable, place beautiful and clean, and food delicious. What more could you want from a restaurant?

Went here for dinner on a Friday night. Was really busy at 8:30 but we were able to get a table for 3. The decor was bright and eye-catching. The seating in the booth area feels outdated. We were allowed to start with a drink and 5 dishes per person. Cocktails and some dishes are additional charges. The dessert bar was buffet style. So you could go up at any time and self-serve. Food came out as they were prepared. So, once you place an order. Be mindful that all of it isn't coming out in one go. Some of the dishes were hit/ missed. High points for sushi rolls. Low points for squid rings (salty). Also, be mindful of additional charges for food wastage.

My partner and I ate hear last night and had an amazing time, the food was fantastic, served to you using little robots which was a cool experience. The choices on offer were great and would cater to near all diets, even the pickiest of eaters could find value there. The staff were all super friendly and the total bill was really reasonable. They add a 10% optional service charge but they earned it without a doubt. The food is ordered via app so you can get 5 plates, per person, every 10 minutes. Food came out really quickly so there was hardly ever a time we had to wait for more goodies to arrive. I really wouldn't be able to find a fault with our trip last night. We'll definitely be coming back in future to try some things we didn't get a chance too this time! Highly recommended!!

We enjoyed the sushi and other dishes

The experience was quite interesting, having a robot get the food to the table, the food came out pretty quick. However, the food is quite distinctive, some items on the menu are better than others, you just need to try a bit of everything to see what you like. The only downside I had was with the service, the waiters / hosts were friendly but it’s the system. Upon entering you are given a tablet to order your food / call the waiter etc, there is a button which requests for table to be cleaned, now we did click it after we had finished our starters but there was no one coming up to our table around 10 minutes later one of the members of staff came up to our table with a long list of papers that had printed which said we called the waiter multiple times, although we clicked the button once.

We were greeted promptly by the gentleman host who sat us down and explained very straightforwardly how the ordering system works. The robot waiters delivered our food quickly, all of the many dishes we ordered were tasty and the hot dishes arrived still hot. (Human) staff kept on top of clearing the tables and were super friendly. The gent on the bar was fast serving drinks to the table with a smile. The host who first greeted us also saw us out, he was really friendly too and had good banter :) My mum and I have both had a really positive experience and enjoyed every minute even if we did stuff our faces until we couldn’t eat anymore and now we’re double in size haha. We’ll definitely be back and will tell our friends about this place

Came here with a large group of friends for lunch. The restaurant was not prepared to serve a party of 9 people and had to serve most of the dishes via the staff too. The food was OK but I wasn't expecting exceptional food for a robot buffet. Not all the food I ordered turned up so I didn't get to try everything I wanted. When it came to paying, the service was rubbish. A lady with short curly hair (didn't get her name) started taking payments as we were paying individually, then she disappeared knowing that she hadn't taken everybody's payments. She was hanging out at the bar and I approached her, asked her if she could take the other payments. She looked annoyed and said that I had to add up my own bill which she could have easily helped with as I had only ordered 2 soft drinks with the meals for me and my daughter. I asked her if she knew the prices of the soft drinks, she said "no". So I added it up and told her how much I needed to pay. She said that there would be a service charge. I told her to take it off. She was a shocking waitress and definitely wasn't happy to be there! 2 star because the decor is lovely.

Amazing loved it decor great food delishes what made it special was the robots that bring your food 2 the table defo be back

Would give half a star if I could, sushi isn’t fresh and tasted like it was in the fridge for a while and our lamb chop was dry and had weird bubbles all over it as if it was washed with soap. Oh and be aware they’ll charge you for any leftovers they won’t tell you that. Never again

I absolutely love Sakura. I am from America and have traveled extensively to different parts of the world and this is my favorite spot of every place I’ve ever been. Rachel and the other staff has always been so amazing and wonderful to us. Even though I’m from the US, they have always known who I am when I come in. Every time I visit the UK, it is always my top priority to come here. Today we are running late due to numerous problems that happened and they accommodated us and stayed open late for us with no complaints. Thank you Sakura for endless perfect service. 💕

Food was delicious. Small selection on pudding side but I went for food not sweets. Service and timing from staff are excellent. Only noticed change's since last time I visited Shakira the cleaning side needed more attention, in general are clean but corners and wals need good wiping, stars are sticking to your shoes then you going up to toilets. In the toilet hand dryer was out of order but there was no alternative to dry your hand, you needed to go back to the toilet cabinet and dry hands with toilet paper.

Staff are so nice and welcoming. Food is delicious! Lovely restaurant in general

Food was on point and the robots service was pretty awesome too.. just felt the atmosphere needed a refresh as its very dated and smelt... but defo worth the experience

Went to this restaurant for my birthday and was absolutely disgusted, you could get better sushi from Tesco and wish I had done as it would have been a lot cheaper. The robot service was the only good thing about this restaurant thought I think it may have just been done so you can’t complain as easily. Food tasted old, artificial, over processed and honestly don’t even know how to describe how bad it was. Left feeling sick and throwing up and didn’t even bother with deserts. I wouldn’t recommend coming here to anyone no wonder I was recommended to go to m8 hotpot next door and not here!!!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE, overpriced and with a clause that waste food will be charged for. Food came out almost instantaniously after ordering through a tablet, the robot waiters were cute but thats about all that is good here. Seaweed on the sushi is clearly some plastic alternative, ordered a cheese and salmon sushi that came woth burnt american style cheese, most food was either undercooked or overcooked, my girlfriend has thrown up after eating food possibly from the taste alone. Meat was chewy and processed, rice was clearly microwaved or reheated, the only reason i ate as much as i could was due to the clause about food being wasted and charged for. Toilets were filthy and clearly not cleaned. Due to the standard i have reported them to the council asking for a health and safety review. Absolutely awful despite apperences. All reviews are 5 stars or 1 stars clearly suggesting they are buying or faking reviews on google as well. DO NOT EAT HERE you will be dissapointed and possibly unwell after doing so.

Selection of food is limited, but overall very tasty and fresh.

The place is magnificent. We are served by a robot. On the other hand, they automatically take 10% for the service without your opinion

Lots of food variety, more than there used to be. The quality of the food is not outstanding but still really good. The new robots helped the staff and food was served very quickly.

Went here for my birthday meal on entrance we was stood there for a while (it was empty and then the waiter didn’t really say much after waiting for so long and took us to the table) all the staff looked really sad except for the robot waiters (this was the best part). The best sushi was the spicy chicken one as it was the only one with flavour. The soup was absolutely awful and smelt really bad. The tempura chicken wasn’t really tempura and was just boiled chicken that smelt awful. The waiter that came to clear the table had a strange atmosphere and seemed really moody and it made us feel a little weird to order more. We were there for under an hour and left. The desserts were really dry they looked like they could have been good otherwise. The ice cream tubs were really good though. We don’t drink alcohol and got a 1/2 pint pineapple juice which was like water and syrup really don’t recommend the juice. The bill was £71 for 2 people and 2 1/2 pint pineapple juice. Which is really not worth it. The place looks so nice and the robots are really cool but the smell in there, the drinks and the taste and quality of food as well as the staff needs to be improved as there are similar places nearby which have better quality and are cheaper. If it wasn’t for the robots and the scenery then I don’t think people would come here. The sushi is not flavoured or fresh and there are no sauces except soy. Pros: - all you can eat - Bubblegum ice cream -robot waiters -beautiful scenery -fast service -minimal interaction with humans Cons: -smelly -expensive -quality of food -drinks -dry desserts -no sauces

Good food and cool atmosphere 😉

Really friendly, welcoming atmosphere with attentive staff and an all you can eat menu for a 2 hour window from arrival. There are several cute robot servers too, which ferry trays of food and drinks back and forth. They add some real charm and fun to the experience, and although they do not always come to your table, you do get to see them regularly moving around the restaurant. The food and drink all arrived quickly and were of a very high standard, well presented and tasty. The only complaint would be that some items are not included on the all you can eat menu, but weren't clearly marked as such on the menu, so we had a surprise when the bill came. All in all I would recommend this restaurant and will definitely come back again. Thank you for looking after us Sakura!

All you can eat Sushi and Oriental food served by robots, what isn't to love. The staff are always friendly and helpful if needed. The food is always delicious and comes fresh from the kitchen, love to décor and atmosphere in here. Usual comment about unruly kids (One running around pressed the button on the robot to move on while we were still unloading our food so it started to run away, as usual parents not paying attention or caring what they are up to)

This place is amazing food is good. I am shocked that it isn't busy. More people need to find out about this place.

I visit this restaurant almost every month with my family. And there’s quite a few of us 😁 We all love it! The food, the atmosphere, the service and the venue! Everything is always 10/10👌🏽. We’re vegetarian and we’re never short of delicious options or variety. It can be difficult to find a decent vegetarian sushi. But the kids absolutely love the sushi on the menu here! The food is always fresh and hot. The service is fast and we’ve never had to complain about a single thing. Oh and they have these waiter robots that deliver the food to your table 🤩 always a winner with the kids haha! Raj is especially personable, he and the entire staff do their utmost to make sure that me and my family are enjoying our meal and having a great experience😁 Sakura is always my family’s first choice for a great meal out! I’ve been enjoying this place for years and I’ll continue to rave about this place for a very long time! ❤️

Robot cats are very fun and charming lol but the actual people staff are really lovely and welcoming. Can't fault the food and the speed it came to our table. We'll definitely be coming back next time we're in the city!

It was a very different experience but liked it

First time today woe it was amazing nice atmosphere. Loved the robot! All you can eat and they stop excessive waste which is good! Staff were super nice! Will come back again and it's halal too.

Delicious food, friendly staff, speedy service.

The food was so bad and the waitress smelled so bad that I almost threw up! 1st & last time here!

Amazing experience! Staff, atmosphere, food, value for money - incredible!! We would recommend this place to anyone and would love to come again!

Tasty food and fast service for the food

Honestly amazing experience was my girlfriends birthday and they did an incredible happy birthday for her and even the staff sung to her food was 10/10 and the atmosphere was absolutely stunning highly recommend it I loved every part of the experience and I would like to say a massive thanks to the staff they was so helpful and so kind will definitely coming back something I won’t forget what an experience

The fish fillets in all the sushi are too thin, and diners can only expect to be filled with sushi rice. Both the warship and the hand-rolled seaweed were too moist, not to mention brittle and impossible to bite. The meat quality of duck, chicken, beef, shrimp, cuttlefish, etc. is not bad, at least they are all biteable and swallowable, and the portion size of each plate is acceptable, but the taste is not delicious. It's not that it tastes bad, it just doesn't taste good, and it's acceptable enough not to turn against Taiwan and leave. The soup and udon were bland and not up to standard. The only desserts available are puffs and Japanese cheesecake, which are pretty good; cup ice cream is acceptable... canned pears/peaches/pineapples are normal... The fruity honeydew melons are bland and tasteless, and the rinds are cut too thin, causing them to be old every time. The flesh of the melon is so hard that it can cause stomach ache. It is common to charge extra for drinks. We entered as a family of three (only adding one drink for our daughter). At a price of £34.5 per person, it is definitely not worth it for the quality of the food and the extra charge for fish and fish. The Japanese food we had in London was cheaper and of much higher quality than this one. Don’t forget, the rent in London is much higher than here. *Staff service attitude is good *Environment and place are quite clean and managed by management *It’s just that the food quality is poor

Fantastic place food was amazing and the catbot waiters are so cute, definitely worth the money

Great food, extremely speedy service!

Sakura - all you can eat was not only fun with robots delivering your meal, it was good food too. The food is prepared/cooked to order and was fresh and tasted great.

Food quality and quantity has definitely gone downhill since its opening a few years ago. We used to go every year and it's been worse as time went on. Food used to be served pretty quickly and the plates were definitely bigger back then. I understand that there's inflation but to charge us alot more than it used to be and giving us a lot less that what it used to be is a joke. The salt and pepper prawns image on the ordering ipad looked big but when it came there were only 2 prawns. Took them 10 minutes to put 2 prawns into a bowl and came out cold showed that they had been sitting there for ages before it was served. The desserts were presented looking like they're supposed to be tasty, but don't be fooled, they are very dry and plastic and artifical like. Seems very cheap and been put out for days. Very disappointed with the experience so will probably avoid from now on... £100 for 2 adults and 2 children is absurd for the quality of food you get. Only good side is the interior design which looks very Japanese and toilets were clean.

Sakura delivers an extraordinary dining experience starting with the atmosphere of the restaurant and friendlyness of its staff. Orders are placed by the guests using a tablet and food is delivered by little robot staff. The restaurant offers a variety of Japanese food. Drinks are charged as extra. The desserts taste nice , however I found the cakes plain. You can enjoy your dining for a maximum of 2 hours.

A nice fusion of Japanese style restaurants with some halal options as well. Booking in advance is not required but ensures you don't have to wait too much to get seated. There is plenty of parking outside the restaurant and it is free as well. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere from the entrance to the upper level building where toilets are located it is very well decorated with Japanese themed buildings. The food is amazing although the sizes of the portions are small. The sushi is of a nice quality and the teppenyaki items are served hot. You have a tablet where you can order 10 items at the beginning and then a round of 5 items each time. The maximum number of items you can order is 5 , and there is a gap of 300/400 seconds between one round and another. This combination makes the menu a la carte rather than a buffet, especially when there is a round count on the number of how many rounds you can order. The size of the plates/dishes make it quite easy to come to order even 3/4 rounds per person. The selection of the food seems to be limited and after a quick skim the number of items to be ordered are easy to remember. The chicken teppenyaki wasn't really good , cold and of a strong tangy smell, beside this item all the others were really good. The drinks are not included in the price, and are slightly more expensive than the market , but they are nice, there is a limited selection of the mocktails as well. The toilet is on the first floor and I think there are adjustments for accessibility needs as well. The service is great, especially the robots make the whole experience better, and you don't need to wait too much to be served once placed an order.

Great food. Fast service. Halal!

Love this place, food is always amazing, good value for money, and the cat robots are adorable!

Loved Sakura! Really fun with the robot server bringing your food, but the very human wait staff were also so helpful and polite. Good portion sizes, and glad they work to prevent food waste! Will come again!

Interior of the shop is welcoming, the staff are friendly and will guide you to your seat and explain to you how the place operates, it is very simple and not hard to understand. I came here with 3 others and was seated swiftly, the food was amazing and the server robot is so cool. Overall I would come here again, you can tell the dishes are made with high quality ingredients, and cooked with care as all the dishes were delicious. Definitely recommend this place if you’re in the area.
