Sakura Asian Buffet

I had the pleasure of discovering Sakura Japanese restaurant, and at first glance, I genuinely believed the place was closed, as its exterior suggested otherwise. However, stepping inside, I was pleasantly surprised by its wonderful interiors. This marked my first experience with Japanese cuisine, and the overall ambiance added to the allure of the place. The food surpassed my expectations, delivering an excellent culinary experience. From the flavors to the presentation, each dish showcased the authenticity of Japanese cuisine. Equally impressive was the host, contributing to the overall positive impression of the establishment. Sakura not only introduced me to Japanese culinary delights but also left me with a memorable and enjoyable dining experience.

I enjoyed my experience here and the staff member who served me was very nice. Most of the items on the sushi menu are items that actually exist in Japan. The only reason I gave 4 stars for food is because there are some items that do not exist in Japan and the rice they use is not Japanese rice (such as koshihikari). Unlike another particular Japanese restaurant, the music playing in the background was japanese music and not Chinese. Also unlike another particular Japanese restaurant: the sushi menu has Japanese writing and not Chinese and the chopsticks used are the correct length (Japanese and Chinese chopsticks are different lengths : Japanese chopsticks are generally shorter than Chinese). The only big problem I would have is that the restaurant is not open until 5 pm so you can't go for lunch.

Hidden gem in Northampton, very good Japanese food with very fresh sashimi and sushi, the takoyaki were fresh and were crispy and soft as well and the teppanyaki was very delicious as well with the chef cooking in front of us! Waiters were very attentive towards customers and were very happy and cheerful. The songs played in the restaurant were j-pop and j rock songs which we happy with as thats what we listen to, overall the outside doesnt look like much but definitely should try restaurant if you are in the area!
