Tasty East-Asian cuisine in the heart of Manchester
Spotlight on: Sakura Japanese Restaurant
175 Cheetham Hill Road, Manchester, M8 8LG
An all you can eat buffet has the potential to be quite hit and miss - after all, who wants to eat food that’s been sat out all evening? Sakura Japanese Restaurant combats that with tapas style dishes, a super fast kitchen and an electronic way of ordering! When you sit down, you’re handed a tablet presenting a vast menu of sushi, curries, soups, teppanyaki dishes and deep-fried treats, and you order the dishes as and when you fancy them! Each person can order a maximum of five dishes each order, and there’s a nine-minute gap between each order which stops you over ordering. Dishes get delivered as and when they’re ready, leaving you to eat as much (or as little) as you fancy.
With such a large amount of food on offer it’s no surprise that this option is a tad pricey. It’s £23 per person (including all you can eat mains and desserts) and a 10% service charge is added to every table. However, they do offer plenty of good deals such as 3 for 2 lunch and dinners when pre-booked and on Monday and Tuesday’s they offer a student discount!
