"I'm embarrassed to admit that I should have written this review ages ago. I'm a regular at Sakura but I have wanted to keep the place a secret for myself but that is obviously not fair or sustainable. Fortunately the rest of the world doesn't think selfishly like me. What can I say about this place. Well lets start with the food. It's frankly the best Sushi I've ever had and I've done my fair share of travel. We moved to South Woodford 5 years ago and have previously used Wansteads Sumo Fresh until Sakura moved in. A tiny space on Hermon Hill I've watched it grow from a couple of people to over half a dozen and the quality and care have been maintained if not even excelled. Sakura ensure quality, if you have to wait for that quality then get over yourself, it's worth it. You get personal service each and everytime. I don't know how they do it but they know me by name and they look after me everytime."

"On Saturday evening during the anniversary weekend, I had dinner with a friend. The food was excellent overall, especially the grain starter, and the lamb rack was cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always available when needed. The atmosphere was lively and fun, enhanced by a live singer, Sammie Jay, who provided high-quality entertainment. I definitely want to visit again!"

"If only I’d seen the owners reply to a bad review they got under their google reviews! Shockingly rude! A table was booked for 7.30pm tonight to celebrate an 18th Birthday, we pulled up it was closed! To see the look on these 4 girls faces, SHAME ON YOU!! Called no answer, finally answered by a rude man saying we open at 8! BS!!! You open at 6, no? As per your website? AVOID this place after the way they let down these young girls tonight, no sorry nothing! Thankfully Turquise in Loughton fitted them in at the last minute......ps. Now abuse me, be rude and call me a liar like you did the other bad review!!! NO STARS"

"I recently dined at this restaurant for dinner and the service was top-notch. I have heard some people complain about the cleanliness, especially those who order through delivery apps. However, the food served here was freshly marinated and best enjoyed when served immediately after cooking. The dishes had low salt content and were incredibly flavorful. To appreciate this type of cuisine, one must forget about the heavily salted dishes we are accustomed to. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and so did everyone with me. The atmosphere was fantastic, with a water dispenser filled with fruits and mint for guests to enjoy. I don't understand the negative reviews as the service at this restaurant was excellent. I ordered two lamb shawarmas and a falafel platter, both of which had generous portion sizes. We had to take home leftovers because we couldn't finish everything. I have included some photos to showcase the beautiful presentation of the food, which is rare to find at this price point. I would give them ten stars and this is a genuine review as I am not affiliated with the business."

"Above average price, above average food, way beyond average portion s. I loved the pub and the vibe. Two main rooms one for family dining and one for pints and sports. Awesome food, some of the best tasting things I've had this side of the pandemic. Portions are huge, the lamb shank for example could feed 2 or 3 comfortably. The sides are delicious. Thoroughly recommend. Somewhat eclectic pint choices, but it has Leffe on draft Been in London for a long time and I've never seen that Belgian vibes."
