Sakura was established in 2009 as the first Japanese restaurant in Portsmouth. Since our opening night we have always strived to bring the taste of true Japanese cuisine to our customers, while adding friendly service, knowledge and a lot of enthusiasm for what we do.

We have retained a lot of the features that made our restaurant popular in the Southsea area. These includes tasty food that comes in a great variety, and fast and reliable service. We strive to maintain our standards whilst constantly refining ourselves to meet the demands of every customer.

    The food is outstanding and good value, the service is incredibly fast with attention to detail. I don't think I've ever sat down here and not been eating within 20 minutes of sitting down, no matter how big the size of my group is. The food is authentic and fresh every time.

    A little gem of a restaurant which brightened a very rainy and windy day before the theatre. Fabulous decor, delicious ramen and very friendly service at a great price.

    As soon as we sat down we felt very pressured to leave ! Asking what we wanted before we had taken our coats off and constantly pushing us to finish the food and move into the next course . Really ruined the evening for us .

    Always a warm welcome by the staff at Sakura, and service is quick and uncompromised. Staff offer to take orders for drinks as you’re sat down, but will give you time to decide if you’re unsure as to what you want. Drinks are brought out swiftly, and after the food order has been taken, the food is very quick to arrive, and always of a great standard. It’s always tasty, always nice and hot, and the sushi is presented beautifully. A follow up to ask how your meal is, is always accompanied with a big smile and a question if more drinks are required. I’ve been to Sakura several times over the years, and there’s never a problem with the quality of their food. Highly recommended if you’re ever in the mood for some authentic Japanese cuisine, and their set meal options are a great way to get a taste of most of the things they can provide for you. Well priced, great atmosphere, the staff are genuinely lovely.

    We had a fantastic lunch at Sakura, it was totally delicious. 😋 I’m going to come again for sure. The food is fresh, and the photos on the menu do it a disservice. When the food arrived it looked gorgeous! And tasted even better. Had a great time as a family with 2 teenagers who also loved the experience. What I also liked was the Maitre D made excellent recommendations of their specials and sake so we tried new things. Really recommend!! Thank you 🙏
