Sakura Sushi and Noodles — Restaurant in Hobart

The menu on the wall promised so much. It was so enticing. The pictures paint an idea of a nice Asian meal. Pictures say a lot, but if you can't deliver, the promises are empty. We had dinner here. Quite disappointing really. Let's go through the dishes. Soy chicken rice dish. Chicken was overcooked and dry, the rice was stale and unappealing. Choy was passable. Choice of soy flavours wasn't as expected. Not a great effort. Hainan chicken rice. Again, the rice was stale, there was NO chicken flavouring in the rice. I got some lame cucumber.

With excellent food and warm, welcoming service like this, Sakura has earned itself two...

This is a plain kafé style sushi place, your average Asian food place. But the sushi is way above average. Nice variety, well made, presentation is good, service is great - and it sure is value for money. Actually, I'd call it cheap. If good food is more important than interior, this is a place for you. The fish was fresh, and the place is nice and clean. It lacks the finesse of a really great sushi place, but thats not what this place is about. You won't take someone to a romantic dinner here, but you will stop by any day for lunch or dinner - eat in or take away. I'd definitely eat here again, and again, and...
