Sakura — Restaurant in Stuttgart

I’ve been traveling around Europe for a while now – and this was by far the worst restaurant experience I’ve had, for several reasons.

I came here hoping to celebrate and eat a lot, based on the restaurant’s famous “all you can eat” concept. I took three bites from three tiny dishes included in their so-called “meal.” Each bite from a different dish, just to be sure I wasn’t mistaken – but the food really was just bad. Not only that, it was cold. Every fried dish that should’ve been crispy and hot was instead flavorless and cold. The highlight – the sushi – was mediocre and basic (one bite was enough to tell), with fish that tasted like it had been sitting out for hours “waiting” to be eaten.

I realized I didn’t want to continue with the “all you can eat” and asked to switch and order from the regular menu. Throughout the evening, the staff spoke irritably in a mix of unclear German-Chinese and broken English. Eventually, they agreed, and I received an average portion of fried chicken – something you’d get at any fast-food chain – with undercooked onions and a passable sauce.

In the end, I was surprised to see they charged me an extra €7.50 for the small bites I tried at the beginning – refusing to acknowledge that it’s the equivalent of returning an unsatisfactory dish to the kitchen. And to top it off, they don’t accept non-German credit cards, so I had to go on an ATM hunt just to pay the inflated price for this shameful experience – all for a fortune cookie at the end.

I love giving good reviews when a restaurant provides a positive experience, and I truly believe in supporting businesses that offer good service and atmosphere, creating mutual value. But when this is the experience – the review will reflect that.

I absolutely do not recommend this place – it’s not worth the money, and the service lacks any respect or understanding of the basic customer relationship. I’m more than happy to pay what they ask, but they should offer food and service that lives up to it. That did not...

My girlfriend and I are big fanatics of running sushi and we decided to give this restaurant a go while visiting Stuttgart. At first glance when entering the restaurant, we were pleasantly greeted with a nicely lit-up and decorated atmosphere, which made us even more excited about trying the food. However, our excitement quickly faded as soon as we began to observe the variety of food served.

The food on the belt consisted of many untraditional variants of sushi, which mostly included either cooked meat, deep fried or both. One of our most shocking discoveries was a frankfurter sausage placed in the sushi and deep fried on the outside… While trying new things is great, we were mainly just upset that there was a lack of traditional, raw fish-based sushi. This is something that we would usually expect there to be an abundance of at any running sushi restaurant.

Additionally, it was clear to us that the restaurant was really trying to get customers to buy drinks. We got the impression that the type of food served was specifically for making you thirsty. This includes a lot of fatty deep-fried foods, and really salty foods. We noticed that we both finished our drinks much faster than any other running sushi restaurant we visited before.

On the bright side, we thought that the staff were actually quite friendly as opposed to many of the other reviews. Also, for the type of food served, the actual flavour and quality of food wasn’t all that bad. The desserts had a good variety, including different cakes and fruits, as well as...

I recently visited Sakura Restaurant and had an incredible experience. The highlight of my visit was the amazing sushi train. There was a vast selection of fresh sushi available, and I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable it was, especially considering the included desserts. Despite the incredible selection of fresh sushi, the price was very reasonable, and I felt like I got great value for what I paid.

The turnover of sushi was impressive, indicating that they take great care to ensure their sushi is always fresh. I appreciated the attention to detail and the effort they put into maintaining such a high standard. The staff was fantastic as well, being friendly, helpful, and efficient in serving me. I appreciated their attention to detail and willingness to make sure that my visit was enjoyable.

Overall, Sakura Restaurant is definitely worth checking out if you're looking for delicious sushi at a great price. The selection, freshness, and attentive staff make this restaurant stand out from the rest. I highly recommend Sakura Restaurant and...
