Sabrura Sticks & Sushi Nerstranda — Restaurant in Tromsø

The restaurant is a buffet restaurant and is open until 6pm. We arrived at the restaurant at 4:40 pm and paid the full price. The selection of different types of sushi is unfortunately very small. The various dishes (kroepek & chicken buns & dumplings) were permanently out of stock. The quality of the food is ok, but plain and simple. From 5 pm the food was no longer replenished and thus the buffet was already empty around 5:15 and when I write empty, I mean it. The ambience resembles a student canteen. It is very loud and echoing. The tables and chairs are naked and bare. The wait staff clears and cleans abandoned tables, but guests' dishes pile up at occupied tables.

There is only one handicapped accessible restroom for men and women together. The found bucket for dry towels overflowed, so the paper was thrown next to it.

Given the quality and performance offered by (out of stock food, average food quality, poor service, WC with no maintenance, premature end of food service) I can only give one star. We strongly advise against a...

Sabrura offers a buffet-style experience, but sushi variety is quite limited. If you’re expecting a wide selection, you might be a bit disappointed. However, the taste is decent—nothing spectacular, but fresh enough and enjoyable for a casual meal.

At 299 NOK per person, it's a bit on the pricey side considering the limited selection, but the all-you-can-eat format might still appeal to those with a big appetite. The setting is clean and modern, and service is generally efficient.

Good for a quick sushi fix, but not the spot if you're chasing premium or adventurous rolls.

The sushi is boring and badly made. The grill is even worse.

The grilled food was cold (not to mention the boring taste)! They only bring fresh food when all is finished. The sushirice didn't even stick, and they use a LOT of it to cover up for the poor quality (and micro-portions) of chicken and mini-shrimp they use.

The pictures of the 'buffet' were taken at different times during the two hours we were there... there were about 50 people waiting for the buffet to fill; when it came, all people ran to get something to eat. It was bizar.

We asked the waiter why they leave the buffet empty, and he said: "we're busy with the take...
