We went here on a Groupon deal. I’ve been before, so knew what to expect. The food was good, and staff were attentive… It was very cold inside the restaurant. At the end of the meal, we noticed there was a service charge added to...the bill. We had no issue leaving a tip, but wanted to leave it in cash and an amount we felt comfortable with. We told the waitress that we wanted the service charge to be removed, and were told that we needed to discuss it with the manager. We felt quite uncomfortable with the situation, and I will not be returning. To add insult to injury, we noticed on the way out of the car park that there is a charge, that you’re meant to pay when you get there. This was not clear on entering the car park. I also remember from my previous visit that we added our registration details into a computer at the restaurant but that wasn’t the case this time - we weren’t told to anyway. I called NCP the next day and they assured me that as I had paid before midnight and as long as what I paid covered the duration of the parking, that it was all OK. It’s a real shame as the food was good, but the frosty reception at the end really put me off.More
This visit to Sakura was very disappointing. When we arrived we commented on how cold the restaurant was. We were taken to a table and ignored for the first 10mins. A waitress then asked if we wanted a drink, we order then waited another 15mins...for our drink. We then sat for at least 30mins before they asked what we wanted to eat. The starters were eventually bought to our table after another 20min wait, but part of our party had eaten their starter before the other half was delivered. We then sat for ages before the main meal was cooked, we had to ask if we were ever going to served. We won’t be visiting again any time soonMore
A very fun and entertaining evening. Staff are so friendly, patient and hard working. Delicious food and very accommodating. We had so much fun don’t think we wanted the evening to end! Thank you to you all
Nice Japanese Teppanyaki experience. Good selection of items on the menu. We had the Groupon vouchers (25per head) so had items available on that offer. Drinks and service charge of around £6 were extra. Nice sushi selection. Friendly staff. Good cooking by the chef. Overall...a good experience. Make sure you register your car number on arrival with the managerMore
Beautiful well cooked food to perfection Starters arrived promptly and main cooked infront of us by a wonderful chef called Simon, great interaction, can't wait to come again thankyou
My husband and I went to Sakura for an teppanyaki experience (Groupon voucher). The restaurant has ample parking space, but don't let the outside of the restaurant fool you, the decor inside was nice and the food was terrific! We went on Sunday, in the...evening and the restaurant was quiet. We had a very warm welcome. The chef was very entertaining and kind. We ordered salmon and beef teppanyaki, everything was cooked to perfection, the beef was very tender, the egg fried rice and stirred fried veg were very tasty! We ordered a platter of mixed sashimi also, and it was beautiful! We wanted to order more things but it was a shame that our belly couldn't take anymore food. Everything was great from start to finish. We will definitely go there again, the next time we are in Northampton.More
The meal was fantastic, ordered 3 starters between 2 of us, two items off the tepanyaki grill and then some sides and every dish was incredible. The filet mignon was an absolute highlight. I'd heavily advise going to this restaurant, it seems to be a...sleeper pick but you will have an amazing time.More
Four of us on a teppanyaki table. Shared with two other couples. Excellent welcome and attentive service. The superb food was cooked theatrically and enjoyed enthusiastically! Don’t hesitate to book! Quality delivered with a smile…
I went here quite recently for my birthday and it was amazing the staff our nice the food wait wasn't long and the skill is amazing definitely recommend going here the food is fabulous!
If you are going order from the Tepenyaki menu and a fried rice too, because it’s part of the show. I would rate the dining experience as a lot of fun, very unusual and different. The servers were really friendly and just another level of...service. The food itself was fresh but not amazing, a little too salty. The food would have to be a bit nicer for me to come back at that price often - because I would. They really should paint over the graffiti on the building because it makes the place look rough.More
Wonderfully welcoming friendly staff and interactive when needed. The food was amazing and cooked in front of you. The costs very reasonable we had a party of 5 on Saturday 30th October. Not having eaten Japanese before I found the menu very easy to read...but the food - it was amazing! I can see why my son loves it here. Was well worth the journey from Milton Keynes! Like Arnie - we will be back!!!More
The main point of criticism is that it took forever until the chef finally started cooking our food, and he wasn't even occupied with other orders. The food itself seemed reasonably fresh but was below average, too salty, and certainly not at the right level...for the price. We had to share a table with other guests which made cooking easier for the restaurant (since many things are prepared at the table), but, given that there were plenty of completely empty tables, it would have been nicer to have some privacy. All in all, we had a rather disappointing although expensive evening.More
We visited as a family, never having been here before. My mother in law was given the groupon voucher as a gift so we bought our own to join her and are so glad we did. The service was excellent, friendly and chatty without being...intrusive. The tepinyaki was a real show and we really enjoyed the food (we tried chicken, steak and calamari). It’s not the cheapest of places to eat but it’s so unique and I think warrants a higher price with what is essentially a private chef! I would definitely recommend a visit to experience a hidden gem.More
Delicious food and good service with a smile A real treat and fun too. We loved the Teppanyaki and the sushimi was really good too.
