Sakura Bochum in Bochum

Sakura Bochum offers all-you-can-eat Asian food where you can enjoy to your heart's content until you're full and satisfied. The dishes are incredibly delicious, and the friendly and professional staff are simply wonderful. Highly recommended! 👍

The food is varied and delicious, and the service is excellent. We'd happily return!

We went to the restaurant for a birthday party, and it was a complete success. The food was fresh and delicious, as were the vegetarian options. The music was surprisingly quiet, which I found very soothing. We were all more than satisfied.

The selection at "Running Sushi" is truly extensive. From classic sushi to hot skewers to soup and freshly baked goods, there's something for every taste. Unfortunately, certain versions were rarely available.

Outstanding food – delicious sushi creations served by attentive, friendly, and personable staff. The sesame ice cream was amazing. A must-visit on our next trip to Bochum. We weren't expecting it to be between Edeka and Aldi.

Good running sushi. We really enjoyed everything, the service was very friendly, and the atmosphere was nice. The food is served on two lanes. The hot dishes are on the top lane, and the cold dishes are on the bottom lane. The only thing I don't like is that the ice cream is in the back left corner. We're always seated on the right side and then have a long walk to the ice cream, which isn't always a bad thing when you need to move around a bit 😉. We're always very satisfied and keep coming back.

Unfortunately, the service was extremely poor. You walk in and stand in the entrance. No one comes; you're left standing there, even though all the waiters saw you (they walked right past us). It always took a really long time to get served or pay. The tables that weren't on the conveyor belt were all empty, so it wasn't completely full. The food was good, but because of the poor service, I wouldn't recommend it.

The Sakura sushi restaurant in Bochum is a true gem for lovers of Japanese cuisine. As a satisfied guest, I can only rave about the inviting atmosphere, the friendly service, and the impressive variety of dishes. Upon entering the restaurant, you are greeted by a modern yet cozy ambiance. The decor is stylish, with a touch of Japanese elegance, creating a pleasant, feel-good atmosphere. The staff is extremely attentive and ensures that you feel welcome from the very beginning. The highlight of Sakura is undoubtedly the running sushi buffet. Hot and cold dishes are presented on a two-tiered conveyor belt, which are not only freshly prepared but also visually appealing. The selection ranges from classic sushi variations such as nigiri and maki to creative specialties that will delight every palate. The quality of the ingredients is particularly impressive – everything tastes fresh and authentic. Even for non-sushi lovers, there are a variety of hot dishes, soups, and desserts to complement the buffet. The prices are fair and offer excellent value for money, especially considering the quality and variety of the dishes. A visit to Sakura is not only a culinary experience, but also a mini-journey to Japan – right in the heart of Bochum. I can recommend this restaurant to anyone who values ​​good food, friendly service, and a pleasant atmosphere. It's a place you'll want to return to.

The food was very tasty and the service seemed a bit rough

Great sushi selection - vegetarians are catered for in particular - and super friendly, attentive service. Always happy again.

Pretty much my favorite sushi shop in the Ruhr area. The background music can sometimes be a bit monotonous, as the other guests' conversations mean that not much of the music reaches your ears. But that's complaining at a very high level. Sakura is a super good sushi shop that will hopefully be around for a long time.

Eat deliciously. Price/performance also good. Service very nice and polite. Clear recommendation for sushi lovers.

Unfortunately the food was very poor

At Sakura, Asian all-you-can-eat is with a difference. You basically sit next to an assembly line and can help yourself as often as you like. The time is normally limited to 90 minutes. The atmosphere was cozy. And the food tasted good. We'll definitely be back.

Was there for the first time today. - The food tasted very good - There was a good selection, especially there was a good "mix" between sweet and savory - The employees were super nice, the service was really good. The plates were quickly cleared away and the question was not annoying, but rather well-timed, whether you would like something more to drink. - Bonus: Unfortunately, we didn't pay attention to the clock and parked a little longer than the tolerated 2 hours. The nice waiter pointed out to us that next time we were welcome to give the license plate number beforehand so that the restaurant could somehow arrange that we were allowed to park there longer. But even after he noticed that we had parked for more than 2 hours, he gave us a business card and pointed out that we were welcome to forward the bill. All in all: Highly recommended!

Unfortunately the food wasn't tasty. The pork was undercooked and too mushy. The service is very intrusive and the room is much too big and too loud. More than 6 people should not eat as a group as this would not be possible at one table. There isn't much meat to choose from, but there is a large selection of side dishes. The evening buffet price is too high for that.

We are in Bochum for a few days, we wanted to try a running sushi and discovered Sakura. There was little going on, we were greeted very nicely and taken to our place. The service staff came regularly to clear our empty plates. The range was always replenished so there was enough choice. If something was missing, we addressed it and it promptly came to our table. Absolutely recommended 👍 If we are in Bochum again, we would be happy to come back.

Personally, I don't like Chinese or Japanese restaurants because it's not my kind of food. But I was absolutely thrilled with this one. Super delicious food, friendly staff, and a lovely atmosphere. I highly recommend it, and it's also reasonably priced.

Too expensive for the performance. There was only fried noodles once, there was hardly any meat. Quality simple food. For 25.90 euros you can get better performance elsewhere.

Despite reservations and punctuality, we had to wait outside the door for 15 minutes because we always had to wait until a table became available. It was dry and OK, if it had rained we would have driven again. After we were able to get in, we were sent to a table relatively harshly (without a word of welcome or apology). As soon as we arrived, the harsh question came about the buffet and drinks...we only received a drinks menu when we asked. After our tone became a little sharper, the service became friendlier. It was noticeable that some tables were not on the conveyor belt, but on the other side of the room, so the guests had to get up every time and wait at the end of the conveyor belt. The tables on the treadmill are very narrow, and at 1.92m you have to struggle to fit in. The food was a very positive surprise and was mostly good quality and tasty. Do mushrooms have to be canned? But meat, fish and sushi were good. Unfortunately, later on (we had booked 2.5 hours) numerous large gaps arose or the variety decreased and the same thing often happened - the chocolate pudding, for example, was only served once in 2 hours. Overall, we had hoped for more, the price is certainly okay, but there is a lot of room for improvement and that doesn't mean the food.

Very tasty, best sushi in town! great service. If something is missing you can let me know. You get everything you want.

Delicious sushi and warm Asian dishes from the production line. Very good value for money. Here you feel valued as a guest.

Food is basically okay, there's nothing to complain about. However, customer service has now dropped to an unacceptable level, which after today's visit I have to say, it was the last time here today! Five of us came. When the waiter came he said, is it all buffet? I said no, even from the menu. Oh, he said, all cards. I then said no, 2 card, 3 buffet. No, that wouldn't work. I then argued with him for a while because we had already broken up several times. Then he blamed it on his boss. I didn't let up until he gave up and called the boss. She then explained to us that this would have been possible before, but that it had now been changed. Either ... or. It's now also on the HP, albeit hidden in a long text. So we all decided to have a buffet. When we were about finished, she came back and asked if it was tasty. And before there was any more trouble, she just wanted to point out that the 90 minutes for the table would be up soon and we would have to pay before the clock starts again...🤷🏼‍♂️ Yes, the 90 minutes are also on the HP, but that's not possible. There are plenty of other sushi shops in Bochum. It won't be Sakura any more soon...🤷🏼‍♂️

Interesting concept, food quite tasty, but busy and unstructured, all kinds of food "run around" on the two conveyors, then dessert in between... But: top service, you could still order things that hadn't appeared on the production line for a while. Conversation at the table is actually not possible if you go with more than 2 people.

Very good 2-band sushi bar. Professional and very nice service, parking spaces right in front of the door.

I've been going here for years and am always impressed...the food is delicious and freshly prepared. It's also good to go with friends who don't know sushi, as there are alternatives too. The service was great and the staff were always friendly. I'm already looking forward to the next time 😀

Auswahl begrenzt und das Essen qualitativ okay, dafür aber preislich ganz gut und ein cooles Erlebnis mit den Tellerchen, die am Tisch vorbeifahren!

Everything was good, only some dishes could have been warmer, but that's just how it is on the production line.

The combination of sushi and hot food as much as you want for a fixed period of time is great. At first you think the time is far too short because you won't get enough. But there is enough time with dessert, conversation and ice cream.

Today I was at Sakura's for the third time, I have to say at a very long interval. The food and service were top notch as always. The only point of criticism I would like to suggest is that the waitress could perhaps make sure that the guests close the acrylic doors on the belt while eating. It is very unappetizing when in front of you on the line, in your line of sight, a lady with a full and open mouth is coughing and talking at the food passing by. I know you have absolutely nothing to do with the etiquette of individual guests. So maybe this is a suggestion.

Very nice running sushi all you can eat, where you sit at a conveyor belt with small plates from which you can take as many as you want. There is a lot to choose from and things are always being restocked. Everything is really tasty and of very good quality. There are also lots of vegetarian items. There are a lot of seats, but it's best to reserve in advance. The employees are very friendly and attentive. You can pay in cash or by card.

I've eaten here several times and it's always great. Both the food and the service. Keep it up!

One of the top running sushi providers, very friendly, large selection and always fresh and tasty.

Delicious food, nice staff and good ambience. Some places are a little tight. Still a great idea with the conveyor belts (warm food at the top, cold food at the bottom) Very diverse and everything completely delicious and edible. Always my pleasure!

The idea is nice, but unfortunately the food wasn't that good...

Everything was great, we'd love to come back

A fantastic restaurant with delicious food, especially the Running Suhsi Buffet is a highlight. The waiters are friendly, attentive and ensure a pleasant atmosphere. The cozy atmosphere invites you to linger and makes every visit special. Absolutely recommended – I’ll always be happy to come back!

We have been eating at Sakura every now and then since it opened, and now also with our daughter. I would therefore say that we are also among the “regulars”. We are always warmly welcomed and our daughter is always very friendly too. Both the food and the service are impeccable. We are always happy when there is a new “creation” that you can try. I find the selection varied and consistently prepared fresh and delicious. Even if it happens that there is a bit of "air" on the conveyor belt because the restaurant/tables are completely full, we work hard to ensure that more is added and if something is missing, you can let the waitress know, it will even be done brought to the table. The tables are always clean and you can request cutlery. All you have to do is speak, the waitress can't read your mind... I can't understand some of the bad reviews. Instead of politely making the staff aware of their displeasure, they would rather cowardly write a bad review here. Every customer is also somewhat responsible for themselves. Conclusion: For us it is the No. 1 sushi restaurant and we will definitely continue to eat there. :)

Super nice service, food is very fresh and varied. Many thanks to our waiter.. 👍🏻

The meat didn't taste good and it wasn't that clean

The food used to be good. Unfortunately that is no longer the case. If you say something that it tastes a bit strange. If you are complained about having tried it yourself and that it is supposed to be a slander. Sad

Very tasty food always fresh and well prepared, polite staff and prices for drinks more than reasonable Always my pleasure

I ordered a menu, unfortunately it doesn't really taste that good... the restaurant is unfulfilling and far too expensive

Mega delicious sushi... always a pleasure... can only be recommended

BEST running sushi restaurant ever!!!!!!! TOP!!!!!

I did some advertising for you on Tiktok. I think your food is absolutely delicious. I'll be back on January 20, 2025 with three other people. I'm looking forward to it.

We are repeat offenders here. Small portions that go straight past the table on the conveyor belt. Cold at the bottom and hot at the top. Due to the size of the portions, you can try everything and it happens again and again, so you can (unfortunately😉) have it again and again (have to🫣). The variety of dishes means there is something for everyone. The dessert is also bomb. In addition to fresh fruit, there is pudding and in a special area you can also enjoy ice cream (and not just two types). So now to our very popular service staff, who are always attentive and friendly. If something is missing, they make almost everything possible.

Very nice welcome and after ordering the drinks we started eating straight away. The cold food runs on the lower conveyor and the warm food runs on the upper one. A really rich selection of dishes passed us by, so that in the end we left the restaurant full and happy. Rest assured, we'll be back.

Nice restaurant with sushi and Chinese buffet. Very tasty 😋

Very tasty food, varied, always refilled, warm and cold. Classic Maki Sushi could have been a little more with fish but it was ok. The atmosphere was very cozy and since there is a supermarket next door there is absolutely no problem with parking.

Always a pleasure...it simply tastes delicious and the selection is huge. The guys are very accommodating.

The sushi and sashimi is excellent. You should definitely reserve a place on the treadmill in advance, even during the week!

It was my first time there and I was very satisfied! Had paid for the running buffet! Good variety, whether sushi, warm dishes or dessert, everything was very tasty! Service was very nice and took care of it immediately if something was missing! Ambience very quiet, good temperature (not too warm, not too cold, just right), light not too bright! Price, performance ratio top! In short: I can only recommend Sakura in Bochum! I was very, very satisfied!

Delicious Staff super attentive and friendly

Clean, friendly, tasty. The concept of Running Sushi is convincing.

Really cool running sushi! Varied and delicious! Very nice and courteous staff!

We came to this restaurant under a time crunch, and when we explained this to the waiter, we received truly excellent service. He immediately gave us the cards and stood right at the table to take the order. The food came very quickly and still tasted very good. Really great!

Very good value for money and very tasty sushi. 🙂

Very tasty food and nice service

A real local pub. Delicious food - always fresh and of good quality. I recommend reserving a table easily via the website.

Basically a solid restaurant. However, if you're looking for real sushi, you've come to the wrong place. Well, with a buffet price of less than €30, you obviously can't expect a fine Japanese meal.

Unfortunately, I've never eaten at Sakura like today. Extremely disappointed.

My absolute favorite sushi restaurant. Always happy🤤😁☺️

Super nice shop Great employees Hardly any waiting times Friendly staff Great selection

We are now regular guests because no matter what you take from the "treadmill", it tastes incredibly good. Sushi and the hot/cold dishes were all very tasty and of high quality. The service is excellent, everyone is very friendly. We always like to come back and the 1.5 hours are completely enough for us. You don't have to sit at the beginning of the "treadmill" because the specialties also arrive at the end, as there are always plenty of replenishments and quick replenishments.

Unfortunately a large room that is very loud. The service is quick and friendly. Unfortunately, the food is relatively simple and of poor quality. There was hardly any traditional sushi. Simple sushi often travels along the belts.

We were here for the first time today. We decided on the buffet on the conveyor belt. The sushi is very good, the chicken dishes and the various things like pudding, squid, mussels, etc. were great and always fresh. The assembly line was always well stocked and there was something for everyone. We were there for 1.5 hours which was enough. We were all full and about to burst, you wouldn't think.

I had the experience of eating here today. It was extremely enjoyable for me. There were many varieties. It was spacious inside. A new one has been added to my Favorite Asian Restaurants. I will visit again.

Loved the restaurant! The running sushi is definitely an experience. Can’t wait to go back

Not really fancy, but solid, tasty and assembly line! 🥳

I'm still full 24 hours later ;-) Great atmosphere, a really new experience to go out to eat like that. Everything was very tasty and the staff were consistently friendly. We liked it :-)

Sakura is a safe bet to simply relax and indulge in gluttony. If something isn't on the line but you would like to eat it (e.g. gyoza or ribs), you can easily tell the service staff and they will take care of it really quickly. Some things don't always reach you, e.g. B. a meat lover has a seat in front of him at the line. We like to eat here with our children. The parking options are absolutely great and right in front of the restaurant. Ice cream selection is also more than sufficient. All “exotic” varieties are available. Black sesame, red beans, green tea, lychee, mango etc.

The food is very tasty. The belt is always well filled and there is something for everyone, there is not only sushi, but also fried things, soups and rice, etc. The empty plates are always cleared away quickly. You also get new drinks promptly. We always enjoy eating here. The price is absolutely fair for what you get.

Very, very tasty sushi and a good selection, lots of variety for every taste. We drive an extra 70 km but it's always worth it. It's always best to reserve a table. (it's pretty busy) And big praise for the service, super nice and attentive. We always enjoy coming back.

Just great to eat there. Everyone is friendly and nice and the food is wonderfully delicious. Something for everyone.

When you arrive you are greeted warmly and assigned a table. There is no accompaniment to the table. Unfortunately we didn't have a drink menu on the table and our waitress didn't bring us one either. There was no cutlery on the table, only chopsticks. However, I think you can request some. During the course of the evening, the waitress unfortunately forgot the drinks we ordered and the request for new chopsticks. A star deduction here. The food itself is okay but nothing special. The selection is sometimes limited, depending on whether you are sitting at the beginning or the end of the band. Basically, mostly standard things are played on the tape and it repeats itself pretty quickly. In between there are other things in particular, but in my opinion far too little. If you sit at the end of the conveyor belt, the special items usually don't even arrive because all the guests have their turn to serve first and not enough portions are put on the conveyor belt. A star deduction here. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit as it's a slightly different dining experience. For me personally, the price/performance ratio is not quite right at weekend peak times. Here you should choose the slightly cheaper prices outside of peak times. On weekends it is recommended to reserve a table here, otherwise you won't get a seat. Parking situation: There are enough parking spaces. However, if you plan to eat out for longer than 2 hours, you must explicitly inform the employees so that the parking time for your car is extended. This does not happen automatically.

We have been going to Sakura for several years and have to say that the quality has always remained the same. We come from Oberhausen and are happy to travel the km for the mega delicious sushi. Keep it up. Always happy ❤️

The reception was very friendly, the food and service were excellent. Requests were gladly accepted.

The food is always delicious and varied. The conveyor belt with the food is great and can also guide you well over breaks in conversation. The best places are at the beginning of the line, as that's where the best things are most common. They do arrive at the end, but much less often and later.

Always my pleasure I can only recommend it

Celebrated our son's (9) birthday there with the family today. What a great restaurant the staff is very very nice what is missing is no problem you ask and it is brought to the table! The treadmill was varied, everything was fresh and mega tasty! We'll be back!

I always enjoy coming by. When it comes to dishes, there are of course evergreens that shouldn't be missed. But every now and then I discover new variants. I like that very much. The only thing that's a shame... I get tired of the delicious food too quickly 😂

Food: Really good quality. The fish 🍣 is fresh and tender, melts in your mouth. Other dishes are also very tasty. And super delicious ice cream. 🍧 Great selection. Service: super friendly every time you visit, no matter how full the restaurant is. 👍 Ambiance: very cozy. Cleanliness: Hygiene and cleanliness are very important here. 👏 Need for repetition: Always happy. This restaurant is love ♥️, a great insider tip! We are always thrilled. Our friends have also been there several times on recommendation. We are now regular customers. 🫶 Regardless of whether you order take-away food or eat it on site, there is also a great selection a la carte. The quality is really always 1A! Here’s to many more years! 🥰😋

I really enjoy eating here. It's not just the idyllic decor, but also the tasty food that brings me back here every time. Whether with girlfriend, friends or family. It's always something special for everyone.

Very tasty food and good service. Only in the women's toilet a door could not be closed and a second cubicle was also damaged.

It's a good thing I have teenage children at home, otherwise I wouldn't have known that Running Sushi existed and probably wouldn't have had this experience. It was our first time at Sakura and we were very impressed. At the beginning there was a little introduction because we didn't know it yet. Everything was super organized. We were able to go straight to our reserved table and get started. It's great that you don't have to get up to help yourself at the buffet; you only had to leave the table for dessert with ice cream. The huge selection at the evening buffet left nothing to be desired. Everyone got their money's worth. Even our two vegetarians at the table were full and satisfied. The staff was very friendly. We'd love to come back.

It was my first time eating sushi and I was totally thrilled, everything was super fresh and stylishly arranged on the small plates, I felt like I arrested 30 small bowls 😁

Two-story conveyor belt: warm at the top for fried foods and cold at the bottom for sushi and fruit Friendly staff, only €20 on public holidays

Very tasty and well-kept running sushi. I've been to Japan often and I have to say that the sushi here is more than comparable to that overseas. I now feel like a regular guest and am there at least once a month. The employees are always friendly and help with problems.

I was very satisfied with my visit to Sakura Sushi in Bochum. The food was fresh and hot, and there was a wide variety of options. The service was also great, the employees were very courteous and attentive - you never had to wait long for drinks. The only point of criticism is the lighting: it was a bit dark at the food belt and at the table, which slightly affected the experience. Otherwise a great place for sushi lovers!

I love it!!! Food great and the staff very nice and accommodating!!! Always happy, whether at lunchtime or in the evening.

You can do it to see the assembly line. But I'm still a fan of the normal all you can eat

Very tasty food, friendly and courteous service. Large variety of dishes, whether warm or cold. Very nice evening and we will definitely come back.

Wir wollten vorm Musicalbesuch einfach noch sushi zum Abendessen. Und waren mega positiv überrascht von dem unglaublich guten Buffet. Qualität und Geschmack richtig richtig gut. Auf jeden Fall eine große Empfehlung.

Very, very unfriendly people who agitate against a minority are embarrassing 👎👎

Too bad. Great food and nice friendly service. But recently you have to hurry up a lot. Otherwise you will automatically be charged an excessive parking fee of €35 after 2 hours. So a relaxed family dinner or birthday party is no longer possible. After 2 hours you have to leave the parking lot. It's a shame, it's always been a good place for Asian food.

Top. Sushi runs on a conveyor belt like you see in the movies. It's always fresh and the staff is nice. Bonus: Ice cream is included in the buffet. It's a bit tight in places, but this has improved greatly after the Corona partitions were dismantled. Edit: Unfortunately I have to adapt my review because the “service” of Park&Control PAC GmbH is used here. These take additional money out of the pockets of paying restaurant customers with their limited parking times. As a result, you have to hurry when eating if you don't want to be ripped off by some parking mafia companies with false power fantasies. Please talk to the owner of the site, as the parking mafia he hired is also damaging your reputation and the reinforcements. Such “services” contribute nothing to society in an almost empty parking lot, but rather harm the general public. Unfortunately, due to the parking situation, I will have to refrain from future visits. I want to enjoy my food and not have to wolf it down as quickly as possible. It's a shame because this is my favorite sushi restaurant.

The employees are all very nice. I think the food is very tasty. 10/10

It was really tasty and the menu was really very broad. We'd love to come back.

First of all, this used to be my favorite restaurant for sushi, but it has declined tremendously. First, our reserved table was not prepared and we received broken soy shells, which was anything but nice. There were also stains in the bowl. After more than 20 minutes there was still no service, so I got up and complained about the situation. They apologized and shortly after I sat back down we were told to change tables because the restaurant wanted to turn off one of the treadmills. We then complied with this request. After almost 30 minutes the drinks finally arrived. When it comes to food, there was very little choice. You won't find classics like Kappa, Sake or Tsuna Maki. There was hardly any Avacoda and the majority consisted of fried pieces, cream cheese and endless fruit. Exotic items such as fried banana makis with coconut could not be overlooked. Since I really like eating tuna, I was of course looking forward to it, but the cooked tuna no longer looked appetizing because it looked like minced meat, as if the plates had been on the way for a long time and the fish had turned brown. The inside out rolls also no longer tasted fresh. Definitely the last time I was there, there are much better sushi restaurants in Bochum and the surrounding area.
