Sakura Japanese Restaurant 175 Cheetham Hill Road, Cheetham Hill, Manchester M8 8LG

"Cannot fault this place at all. The manager welcomed us very happily into the restaurant and we were promptly assorted to our table which had plenty of space for our baby who was in a pram! This is always nice when they consider where they place you (not in the way). The tablet ordering system is very well established and the food and drink is delivered very quickly and amazingly now with robot servers with cat faces on the screens..this adds to the overall experience. The food (mainly sushi) was very very tasty! We have been before years ago but it seems to have improve since then. More taste and options for sushi. The crunchy rolls were great :D Now it was a pre-celebration for our wedding and they played a congratulations song on the system and brought out a cute little plate with a piece of dessert with a candle and a congratulations written on the plate. It's not the cheapest place to go and some of the staff are pretty miserable (not the bar man or manager) just the staff who clear tables and bring some of the food items. To also add a compulsory service charge when this is the case does leave a little bit of a sour taste in your mouth. But saying all this our experience was on the most part great and we will return soon."

"I came here with a friend and was highly impressed overall. So it is a buffet, however you stay seated and order food from the tablet…its definitely a different concept. The food was actually delicious and exceeded my expectations! And there is so much variety too, I was spoiled for choice. There is a small dessert station also, so you don’t have to order from the tablet for it. The wait time isn’t long and the servers are friendly. Minus one star because I thought £28.99 is quite expensive and the drinks aren’t included either."

"Amazing experience! Has robot as waiters! Food was tasty! It’s a buffet so you can order as much as you can eat with a wide selection of choices on the menu. Sadly you have to pay extra for sashimi dishes. Has a very nice dessert bar. Good service and the venue was nice and spacious with a massive car park outside! Also an instagrammable place :) Highly recommended and would definitely come back again!"

"Been here several times but tonight probs the best in terms of food quality. Service was ok, most staff pretty miserable despite the 10% service charge added on. The sushi is not amazing quality but enjoyable. Was very busy tonight with a violinist playing which was a nice touch. The decor is wonderful but its not suitable for the disabled as the toilets are upstairs with no lift."
