   This is an ALL YOU CAN EAT like you’ve never seen. Order small plates direct to your table via the digital tablet provided. From rice to noodles, chicken to beef, sushi to sashimi… Blue Sakura has it all. With a wide variety of options , there is something for everyone. As a frequent gym goer, this is a great place to come and get your protein fill. My favourites are: beef skewers, seafood rice, and the fried dough at the end. I couldn’t commend more! Also, with several cherry blossom trees in the restaurant, the ambiance is wonderful.

   Booked the weekend evening menu for a special occasion in August. Service was impeccable from start to finish. Front of house explained how everything worked, seated us straight away, and drinks arrived quickly. Ordering is done on a tablet, and food is brought to your table as soon as it’s cooked. Everything came out hot and fresh, not like it had been sitting around. The wonton soup was perfectly umami, sushi rice well seasoned, and the nigiri clearly hand-moulded. Beef tataki could have been a touch rarer, but still excellent. King prawn tempura was freshly battered and piping hot, while the sirloin steaks were melt-in-the-mouth. The scallops were a little wet, likely from being sauced before grilling, and the udon noodles were slightly wetter than I’d prefer, but both still full of flavour. We were given a dining time limit. Although the evening slot is longer than lunch, we could have done with a bit more time to make the experience feel less rushed. Staff are very efficient, giving a polite reminder 10–15 minutes before your end time and bringing the bill a few minutes before, which keeps things moving smoothly and fairly for all guests. Left extremely satisfied and pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and service.

   Blue Sakura - unusual, modern hospitality, partly shaped by its location near the Arena. You order via tablet and can keep adding to your order if you're still hungry. If you're used to chatting with waiting staff and hearing personal explanations about each dish, this place feels different. Ideal for those who just want food without overbearing attention (which, I admit, I already miss, ha ha). The food was good, though I found the selection of vegetable dishes and salads a bit limited - but that's just me, not being much of a meat-eater. Still, one of the nice spots to sit before the Arena comes alive and to enjoy a different approach to hospitality ✨

   We came for our son’s 21st birthday and had a great time! It was our first visit, but won’t be the last. We ordered drinks at the bar before being taken to our table. Then the waiting staff showed us a tablet to order our food/drinks from. There were so many items to choose from, but sashimi wasn’t available on the lunchtime menu. We proceeded to choose our dishes and the food came pretty quickly! They were fresh and hot. The sushi dishes were nicely presented. You get to choose a limited number of dishes, then wait for these to arrive. Then you can choose again. The ordering closes half an hour before your table is up. We had 1.5 hours of eating time. The ambience was nice with good background music. We would definitely return again!

   What a treat! We had such a wonderful lunch here. The food was freshly prepared and everything we ordered tasted amazing, the staff was attentive and cleared the empty plates frequently, and the restaurant decor was really pretty which is always a bonus! There’s a strict time limit of 1.5 hours which felt a little bit rushed, I wish I had longer to enjoy the incredible food! Can’t wait to go back!

   Amazing experience and food! Came here after seeing a lot of people say how good it was and they were right! The premise is simple, you get 90 minutes to order as much food as you like off an iPad. These means no awkward calling staff over to order you just tap the screen. The food was to a very high standard and all seems to be very fresh, my partner who is not a huge sushi fan was still able to have an amazing time eating the wok/fried dishes. Definitely will be going again just to try and get through the very long menu that’s on offer.

   Amazing experience, so many food options! The staff were really friendly from start to finish and were always available if needed. Our plates were cleared as soon as they were empty to keep the table tidy and our food came out really fast! I tried the £28 lunch menu but would happily pay for the £40 evening menu with extra food.
