Sakura is a real “cherry” treasure well hidden inside Asian Mall. When we first found it, we couldn’t believe our luck. Small , family run Japanese restaurant with amazing options of both vegan and not vegan food. Our favourites are Agedashi Tofu, veggie tempura and seaweed salad which is must try !
Everything was so tasty. Great service, too!
Totemo oishi desu!
Really yummy food, a great variety of dishes. Excellent service. I took my mum along for lunch on mothers day and we really enjoyed it. The teriyaki salmon was particularly well cooked and a nice portion. Will definitely be back soon :) thanks team.
Lovely authentic Japanese food. Very friendly and efficient staff. Did I mention the food was very good? Also, delicious food.
Great food, great service and a great hangout with friends
We came here with a friend who likes Japanese food and ordered a bunch of "izakaya" style dishes.
Everything is beautifully done, but the most striking are the takoyaki, salmon sashimi and fried Karachi chicken.
Service is very good and highly recommended
Sakura is one of my favourite lunch spots. Despite being a bit out of the way, it is well worth it.
Please take the time to get past some iffy first impressions before cementing your opinion on this place. Yes, it can be a rough process to find a car park during the day. Yes, it is a small restaura
Authentic Japanese food for a very reasonable price particularly their lunch menu. Pleasant decor and friendly and fast service. Recommend you make a booking for weekend lunches for groups of more than four. Japanese sake, plum wine and beer also at a reasonable price.
Went there twice for our trip to Christchurch. We love the food. Sashimi is fresh and ramen taste food. Nice and clean restaurant.
Had an amazing experience here. Tucked away in church corner this place offers a very cheap price and great serving sizes. It is a small place so it might be good to book on a Friday or Saturday night.
One of Christchurch best hidden gems!! Incredible food, super fresh and flavourful!
Really great little Japanese restaurant. Small and cosy atmosphere. Surprisingly good quality food. I had the missed sashimi plate and chicken yakitori plus a miso soup. Am totally full (which can always be an issue with Japanese food!). Highly recommended. PS this place can be a challenge to find;
Nice restaurant ambiance. Wish they have at least 2 Ramen dish in their menu.
My family and I eat here once a week - food is delicious and reasonably priced. Staff are very friendly and the food comes out quickly. Ambience is great - very cosy and intimate. My favourite dishes are the deep fried chicken, the pork belly, the teriyaki salmon, any of the tofu dishes, the tempura
Very nice little place. Delicious food and great service. Love the eel is my fave. Will come back again soon.
Very good food and good service. Make sure your book your table in advance
Lovely Japanese restaurant hidden away in church corner. Will visit again!
Nice service, but could’ve been slightly more attentive. Had to go to counter to order more food and drink. Overall good food and fabulous sushi and dumplings!! Will always go back.
