Everything was absolutely amazing . The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the food was fresh, delicious and cooked to perfection. Surprised to find a place in Bury that has sushi of such high quality! If you want a place with good asian food, Sakura is the answer
One of the best Asian restaurants I've been to. The service was impeccable, the interior design is superb, and the food is amazing. It feels like an authentic traditional Japanese restaurant.
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.
We visited for the first time today. My son's birthday and his choice having had Japanese in another place locally. Can't really fault anything. The food was fresh and quick to arrive. The bell for attention was new and the staff responded very swiftly. Really helpful waiter helped confirm our menu choices and made pudding special with a candle. Which was a lovely touch. Definitely recommend. Lovely restaurant and reasonably priced for Japanese.
Eaten here a fair few times now, never been disappointed. It's not cheap but good Sushi shouldn't be! I would definitely recommend and my daughter loves it there!
It’s our visit to Sakura and probably our last. We ordered the CT roll, that was supposed to come with black tobiko and master mayo. It came with orange fish roe and Sriracha sauce. Please see the pictures for comparison. Can you say they are the same dish? When we inquired, the waiter insisted that this is the dish we ordered. We escalated to the manager and he admitted that they have to change some ingredients because they are not available. I don’t think this is fair because they should have informed us about the ingredient changes at the point of ordering. If we had known about the change, we probably wouldn’t order the CT roll. The changes made it a totally different dish - it’s like ordering a beef ribs with black pepper sauce and getting a lamb rack with mint sauce while being told that they are the same dish! Totally absurd. This incident apart, the overall service is also appalling. Had to ask 3 times for our drinks to be delivered. The guest in our next table had their food and drinks delivered, they finished their food and paid their bill before our drinks were finally delivered, although we ordered before they even arrived.
This was our first visit to Sakura and we will definitely be returning. We had some lovely fresh, fragrant food, which tasted and looked beautiful. Service was excellent and the food came out very quick. The restaurant is beautifully decorated inside and has a nice cosy atmosphere. We would definitely recommend.
Simply wonderful. A real treat. Very clean, well presented restaurant with genuine oriental foods. The inside is just as beautiful as the outside, with fake but beautiful cherry blossoms lining the walls, and netting on the open windows to keep it the flies. A great selection of traditional dishes with carefully prepared allergen friendly options. Food was prepared and bought out in a timely manner without skimping on presentation. A good selection of drinks, I had the sparkling sakura, which was packed with real cherry blossom petals, very different but sweet and refreshing. Highly recommended
After spending two years in Japan I was looking forward to try Sakura!! It has some good food available, but it's slightly overpriced for what you're getting. The waiter we had was really friendly, however a couple of others were pretty cold and unwelcoming. The teriyaki chicken was delicious. Sushi was large and fresh, but overpriced. Green tea pot holds enough for one cup each, but you can just ask for more water! The restaurant itself was clean and comfortable and the music was fun. We had an enjoyable experience here, but wouldn't frequent this restaurant. ありがとうございました !
