    Sakura offers a beautifully curated ambiance that immediately sets the tone for a relaxing and authentic dining experience. The sushi was fresh and skillfully prepared. The quality was impressive for the price point and left us satisfied. Service was attentive and seamless as what you'd find in a traditional Japanese restaurant, equipped with a call button system (often found in izakayas in Japan). Staff were friendly and attentive. Overall, Sakura strikes a lovely balance between atmosphere, food quality, and service.

    Our dinner would have been more enjoyable if it hadn’t been for the three service staff who were having private conversations behind the bar directly across from where we were sitting. It would have been much nicer of them to allow us to have a quiet dinner and not have to listen to their conversations. The food was good but again would have been more enjoyable for the above reason.

    The table wasn't kept very well, the window was wedged on one side with a piece of old napkin and on the other side a dirty chopstick. The service was fair, most of the servers didn't seem to care or know what was going on between the tables. The food wasn't very fresh and lacked flavour. A disappointing Mother's day visit, won't be coming back.

    Food is amazing as always - very busy on arrival and took a bit of time to seat us. We were seated on the top level and our waiter was brilliant. Food was hot and tasty and the merlot was a nice drop too. On top of that, the bill was very reasonable and there was no tip added however we did leave one as it was our choice to do so. It's one of my favourite places to dine out. I love going in for lunch too.

    Took my son as he likes sushi, service and meal was incredible absolutely loved it. Also, the contact button on the table is a great idea. It's a shame all restaurants don't have this! I will definitely return again soon

    The food was delicious. Service was great. I really liked the call buttons on the tables. Atmosphère was lovely. It was a good price point. Not a wetherspoons by any means, but not prohibitively expensive. Husband, teen daughter and I had sake, 2 beers, a non alcohol drink, 3 rolls, edamame and a ramen for about £100.
