Sakura in Belfast may look like a dodgy takeaway from the outside but don't be put off by the exterior. Inside it's a small, modern Japanese restaurant. The service is fast and efficient but very friendly. The sushi and tempura were lovely but best was the duck main course - delicious and a very generous portion. The house white, humerously named "Tiddy Widdy" was crisp and light and very good value. Overall a really good experience.

Sakura - Belfast. Very Good Sushi. Just moved to Ireland from San Francisco and was starving for some good sushi. We found it at Sakura. Everything was extremely fresh, the wait staff was professional, friendly and not over bearing (didn't hover and ask if everything was OK, every 3 minutes). Started with Edaname and drinks, contiued with several rolls containing eel, crab roe, avacado etc and enjoyed it all. Looking forward to Returning.
