Teishoku is served with steamed rice, miso soup, pickles and vegetable side. Everything in the set dishes was good. Pork was juicy and lightly marinated. The vegetable side was seaweed that accompanied nicely with the rice. ----- Onigiri & Miso Soup Set: two lightly seasoned sticky rice balls with your choice of fillings (£7.80). Add side of pickles and vegetables for £2.20. Filling choices were avocado, umeboshi, gohan desu yo, teriyaki mayo chicken, tuna mayo, smoked salmon. My brother picked tuna mayo and umeboshi. I tried a bite of the umeboshi unigiri. The rice was fresh and the pickled plum was extremely sour as expected. ----- Matcha Latte: frothy steamed milk whisked into matcha (£4.55). The quality of matcha was decent, although the drink itself was incomparable to the gyokuro that had such a refined taste. ----- Gyokuro: full bodied umami flavor (£4.85). A green tea with quite the peculiar flavor. It does require extra brewing time. ----- Make sure to book in advance. A couple that walked in after we were seated for our 12 PM Saturday reservation were told that the restaurant was fully booked until 2 PM. Seating in the outdoor garden was available, but it was too sunny and hot. Guest Wi-Fi is available.

My partner is learning Japanese and the hostess was so kind she had a conversation with him in Japanese to test him. We will be back.

It was so small you had to go through the kitchen to use the toilet. The choice of food and drink did surprise me.. how could they find room to stock it all? With loads of different sake, juices and wines. Selecting a glass of plum wine ..himself green tea we pawed the menu. There was a great use of pictures which helped us decide. From various sushi Nigiri, temaki, sashimi etc to noodles and ramen dishes. I found the sushi a little over priced to the average sushi joint of this nature..we decided on the 12 piece sashimi and sushi platter ..for mains I chose my usual spicy seafood broth with udon noodles, beef and kimchi. Himself had the beef yakisoba. We inhaled the sushi as soon as it hit the table. It was good healthy amounts of tuna and everything tasted fresh. The wasabi did not mix well with the soya though.. My main was a far cry from what I had at Baekdu the week previous. This was packed with veggies..tender beef and seafood. The broth was also excellent. Looking up I could see my other half wolf down his..giving it the thumbs up . Overall the service was very good and food was a stark contrast to the restaurant. I would probably use this more as a takeaway if I were local but I wouldn't go there to eat again as didn't find it relaxing enough.

We just happened to stumble across the newly opened Sakura House on Saturday night whilst exploring…read moreDidsbury. It seemed as though a lot of locals did the same too, as people kept popping in to investigate whilst we were eating, in the hope of an opportunistic free table. Despite only opening three weeks ago Sakura Houses' popularity is clear, the restaurant was packed but it's also only 6 tables, which may play a part! Either way we were lucky enough to snaffle a table for two off-the-cuff as there was a 45 minute space before a booking and our waitress was happy to make time and space for us. Due to being short of time we decided to stick to a simple meal each, so we didn't sample the sushi - which seems to be the main fare. I opted for a comforting plate of pork katsu curry and it was very tasty and freshly cooked, so fresh I almost burnt my mouth on the cutlet! My only issues were that it is currently cash only and that my meal came a good 5-10 minutes after my partners - but I honestly think these are just opening month niggles. Sakura House isn't fancy, it's an honest little restaurant with lovely staff and I think it's a welcome and refreshing addition to the area.

I was glad I did!! I went in around noon, quickly got sat down and given a menu, and then the problem was choosing what to have. I went for the teriyaki chicken meal set and it was quick to arrive. For a drink I just went with a Japanese green tea. The meal set was quick to come and it had a plate of teriyaki chicken, a bowl of white rice, and a bowl of miso soup. I loved all of it. I read up on the correct way to have it all, picked up my chopsticks and went to town. I was a little nervous for the miso soup as I've had one before and didn't like it but this one was amazing. The chicken was perfectly cooked and full of flavour, the rice shot, fluffy, and hot. I definitely will go back here as there was more I wanted to try. The ambiance was amazing, I was in front of the kitchen so could see the chefs preparing the food, and all the different bottles of sake were around so I could look at those and pick one if I wanted some alcohol. I can't wait to return

The service is less than poor and on all occasions, once we had finished our mains we have asked for the desert menu only to be smiled at and kept waiting to the point where we gave up and left. We get the impression that they don't want to serve desert. On the last time we came it was a party of 15. Surely you would think that if 15 people want desert then the place would sell 15 deserts and make a nice packet. In general the service is bad. Making mistake on the orders, being rude and well I could go on and on and on. My advice... Don't eat here. The place has always been empty. Why is this still open. There are much finer places to eat in Lancaster even if you do want oriental food. STAY AWAY...

We were seated with other couples around a central grill. They weren't people we'd come with. As we'd been hoping for more of a cozy and romantic dinner for two, we were a little disappointed at first. This was our error, though, not the restaurant's. At the second grill, we could see some kind of party that had come together and they looked like they were having a blast, so we happily gave it a chance. I'm glad we did! When the chef came out to start cooking, he put on an amazing show, flipping the knives, standing eggs on end and chopping things lightning fast. At the second grill, the chef was flipping a bite at a time through the air into the open mouths of the diners, but nobody on our side was that adventurous. It was great to watch, though! The food was delicious and the portions were MASSIVE. I had still ordered sushi as a starter and it was great, but looking back at the size of the main dish, I could have done without it. If you're looking for a quiet place for a date, I'd skip Miyabi, but it's perfect if you're feeling a bit adventurous or social, and I would take a group of people or a work outing here for dinner in a minute.
