Sakura

I agree, the prIces seem to have shot up since moving to Conduit St.

I do wish they would itemise the bill instead of just giving a rounded final figure. I had no idea if I had been overcharged or not. Sometimes errors do occur on bills but we'll never know with Sakura as they just give a figure. Come on Sakura, you've spent thousands on the move from Hanover Sq, move with 2012 and let your clients know exactly what yet have ordered and are paying for.

I am not satisfied withtheir service.

Me and my wife went to this restaurant for a dinner and ordered 2 main meals. Wife's 'Chirashi' was served reasonably quick but my order 'Katsu-Don' was served after 20 min... it was enough time for her to finish her meal.

I would accept such a delay if it was a busy time, but it was a Monday evening and there were many empty tables... They should understand as a basic, HAVING A MEAL TOGETHER is one of the main reason we go to restaurant....

My wife also commented that Sashimi on her Chirashi was unbelievably thin compared to Japanese standard....

I will never go to this restaurant.

I have been going to Sakura for the last 10 years and the food remains as tasty and satisfying as always. Although I preferred their old venue at Hanover street, the staff are still polite and reasonably attentive. The noodles and 'Don' dishes are wonderful and real value-for money. I have never been wowed by their sushi, but have to say that I haven't tried it much. For a Japanese in central London Sakura comes par to par with many that are pricier without the frills and provides a quick service of hot food.

I went to this restaurant last night. Disappointing

Food was Ok but I felt really thirsty afterwards.

Service was bad. We have ordered Sukiyaki. The waitress just put everything on the table without showing us what to do. The iron pan was heated so much that it nearly got the smoke alarm go off.

Luckily the sushi chef saw us and jumped into help.

I have taken client, and some time family here on numerous occasions over the past year. we enjoy the traditional japanese food every time. BEEF TERIYAKI is my favourite dish. each time we had a fantastic dinning experience. the staff were very helpful and helping to order tasty food. This is my best place in London.

I have been extremely surprised about their reviews of other customers I have been working in this area for many years but haven’t found a Japanese restaurant like sakura. Portion, taste, price and the service wise. Every Saturday we come to sakura as a family. Definitely the best restaurant in London. Highly recommended.

Visited the new location of Sakura tonight at conduit st, to my disbelief the chicken bento set has increased it's price from £10 to £14. this is unbelievable!

I have been a frequent customer at Hanover sq, where the service was much better, and prices were more reasonable.

I had ordered crab salad- and found the rice to be less sticky than normal. I can only guess that they have decided to use a cheaper chinese rice as an alternative. So i rate this dish to be less satisfactory and disappointing.

It seems that with the new location, the standard of the food has dropped drastically! for the crab salad, i was SHOCKED to discover the price increasing to £8.40, from previous £6.40.

For a price increase but without any increase in food portion, i felt cheated!

the deco feels more western and less authentic.

Overall i have now been turned away from going back to Sakura, with the sky high increase in prices and service.

Sady, i will have to say that the price increase isn't justified at all.

Just because it's now at a posher location, facing Vivenne westwood, the management has seem to taken the chance of increasing the prices unreasonably.
