"What an unexpected delight! We wanted a dog friendly pub in Northampton at short notice, and this was perfect! Although not in the, shall we say, poshest area of Northampton, the pub is superbly presented, with a lovely open and large bar area, with plenty of tables, and well behaved dogs are welcome. The food was delicious. We both had a superb pie and mash steak ale and ham hock, chicken leek, followed by sumptuous desserts. To make it even better there 's a good selection of craft beers I had a pint of Plumptiousness, which was excellent. And to top it all off, they even cooked a couple of sausages for us to give our pup. Super friendly staff, clean and well appointed absolutely faultless from start to finish"

"I wondered why this restaurant described itself on the board outside as ‘fusion’, why there were so many Korean dishes on the menu and why the serving staff have heard of Asahi beer but haven’t heard of The Asahi Shimbun, a Japanese daily newspaper that is at least 50 years old. The answer is that the Akasaka website isn’t being completely honest when it describes their Northampton branch as a Japanese restaurant. They aren’t really Japanese, although some of their menu items are clearly Japanese. Don’t let that put you off, however, as they are serving excellent food and we enjoyed our meal there very much. It cost us about £70 (inc. 10% tip) for our meal for two people including a 175ml glass of Sauvignon Blanc for my lovely wife and two 330ml bottles of Asahi Dry for me. The sushi was excellent, the edamame beans were great but we didn’t feel that the Dolsot Bibimbap (a Korean dish with loads of rice, some shredded vegetables, prawns and a fried egg on top) offered very good value for money at just under sixteen pounds. We would recommend Akasaka in Northampton and would certainly go there again, but if we want a genuinely Japanese meal, prepared and served by Japanese staff, then we will be sticking to Ginza Restaurant on Wellingborough Road in Northampton. Don’t like the way that the male members of staff at Sakura on Bridge Street speak to their female colleagues, very disrespectful, so we avoid that Japanese restaurant nowadays. Great to have a choice of three Japanese restaurants in Northampton post-pandemic, and our favourite of the three is Ginza."

"After booking I received a surprise call asking for a deposit which turned out to be non-refundable and despite only one person not making the booking we lost that deposit too. We were sat next to the open kitchen with constant deep fat frying smells which with a hangover stopped me eating my afternoon tea until they closed the kitchen, I had to take it home. They tried to take dietary requirements at booking but failed to meet half of them. It is a nice pub so we had a nice time but I don't think I'd have the afternoon tea again or want to sit in the restaurant. This is the second time I've been disappointed with afternoon tea there and several years apart. Scones were also shop bought and the cream had separated."

"First time going on a date to a Japanese restaurant and it was amazing! The food I had were: Dumplings (first time having them and they were very nice). Fried squid (surprisingly chewy but tasty). Chicken Ramen : The soup was like chicken soup mixed with a hige amalgamation of herbs and spices. The noodles were very fine, tender and addicting to eat. The chicken itself was full of flavour and cooked very well. For someone who is not that much of a fan of big, steamed veg this dish made me want to eat all my onions and sweet peppers. I had a little sake, and it honestly tastes like if someone made Lambrini stronger and with a hint of wheat (which someone makes sense since it is a rice alcoholic beverage . On top of that : Beautiful paintings a beautiful restaurant with japanses ornaments very good staff beautiful Japanese style cutlery and plates... ... All add up to one MAGNIFICENT restaurant for either yourself, your date, or a little group to go to."
