Sakura Sushi Restaurant in Kiel

The food was great and the staff were cheerful. Unfortunately, it was a bit cramped because they were cramming in as many tables as possible.

Eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die eine angenehme Zeit mit der Familie oder Freunden suchen.👍 Ein Tipp vorab: lieber einmal mit der Speisekarte bzw. dem Thema Sushi auseinandersetzen um zu verstehen, was man bestellt. 🚪Erstmal zum Einlass: die gesamte Bar ist faszinierend kunstvoll und authentisch nach der Kultur eingerichtet und dekoriert. Selbst wenn man nicht zum Essen käme, würde für mein Empfinden alleine die Einrichtung dazu einladen, dort Zeit zu verbringen. Wir wurden direkt an der Tür höflich begrüßt und auf einen Platz hingewiesen. ⏱️Service und Wartezeit: Kurz nachdem wir Platz genommen haben wurden uns die Speisekarten überreicht. Nach ca. 5-10 Minuten fragte man uns, ob wir unsere Bestellung aufgeben möchten. 🍙Zubereitung(sdauer) und Essen: Den negativen Bewertungen kann ich mich in keinster Weise anschließen. Wer schnelles Essen sucht, sollte nach einem kleineren Lokal suchen. Wir waren das erste Mal hier und was wir wahrgenommen haben, ist dass sich für ausnahmslos jeden Gast die benötigte Zeit genommen wurde - vor allem bei der Zubereitung. Natürlich kann es an hektischen Tagen mal zu Fehlern kommen, natürlich muss auch ein Preis/-Leistungsverhältnis gegeben sein. Aber man muss eben auch ein gewisses Maß an Verständnis mitbringen. Die Bedienung war angenehm aufmerksam und kam immer dann zu uns, wenn sie das Gefühl, hatte wir brauchen etwas. Wenn einem das Essen dann serviert wird, versteht man, warum die Zubereitung Zeit braucht. Innerhalb von 30-40 Minuten wurde uns das Essen vollständig serviert. Jede Bestellung war unfassbar liebevoll hergerichtet und so frisch, wie sie nur sein konnte. Das schmeckt man auch raus.👍 Für Besucher, die regelmäßig Sushi essen ist es vielleicht nicht mehr so besonders wie für uns, trotzdem können wir nur durchweg positiv sprechen. Für mich war der Abend als Geburtstagsgeschenk für meine Schwester gedacht und wird auch so lange in Erinnerung bleiben. Ein kleiner Tipp noch ans Restaurant: die moderne KPOP-Musik konnte der Schönheit eurer Bar nicht gerecht werden, hier würde ich, vor allem, um die Ruhe der Gäste zu bewahren eher auf klassische Musik setzen. 11/10, wir kommen wieder! :)

There's nothing to complain about here. The food, in my opinion, is a work of art; it's lovingly decorated and looks too delicious to eat. The wait is definitely worth it, as everything is prepared fresh and with great care and attention to detail.

The prices are average, I thought it would be more expensive, but I was pleasantly surprised. It tastes very elegant. I ate soup, and the guy ate sushi, we were very pleased, the cocktails were also delicious

Food great, speed great, staff great, drinks great, toilets clean! Due to the narrowness of the tables, one star was deducted, the coziness was somewhat lacking. We will be back and would be happy to recommend it!

The sushi is good and you can't complain about the price-performance ratio. However, it is best to make a reservation on the weekend to avoid waiting.

Great restaurant, great service. Unfortunately it was a bit noisy due to the high number of visitors. But that also shows its high popularity. I chose the sushi buffet for €27.90 and two homemade iced teas for €5.90 each. Sushi was very tasty and there were new variations that I didn't know that also tasted very good. The staff was very quick and friendly. I'm no sushi expert but this is one of my favorites so far.

A top sushi restaurant. Always super tasty and great. Everything on the menu is recommended. The absolute eye-catcher are the ships that come to the tables filled with sushi.

We have often been here to eat sushi. In the meantime we like to prepare a starter soup. Everything is always beautifully prepared and very tasty at the same time. A very nice atmosphere can be found on the 1st floor.

I love eating there. All you can eat gets a big recommendation! Thank you for existing ♥️

Such a failure. Ordered food to pick up, including a Sakura Sushi Bowl with crispy duck meat. The menu says “Rice bowl with edamame beans, crisp lettuce, avocado-tomato topping, soybean sprouts and sesame” I got dry rice, duck and a simple small salad with no sauce/dressing. Avocado, edamame, tomato and sesame were completely missing. Then we went back specifically to get 20g of edamame and a few slices of avocado in my hand. Never again

Delicious Asian food in Kiel city center.

A few days ago I ate salmon with cream cheese and ebi tempura. My salmon smelled pretty bad and the shrimp were raw too. I got a stomach ache that same day and the next day I vomited 14 times with fever and everything. Sakura was my favorite restaurant but I guess I won't set foot there again.

A great restaurant in the middle of the city. The restaurant is on two floors with plenty of seating! Sushi is all you can eat on two days! Highly recommended but definitely make a reservation and possibly be prepared for longer waiting times! Very friendly staff and the sushi is delicious! 👍

Best quality at a normal price with the best ambience. Unfortunately no more ramen noodle soup, these were the best ramen in all of Kiel.

Freshly cooked, delicious. Unexcited staff, take some time to wait

Like every year on New Year's Eve, ordered a large platter to pick up. This year it was Sakura Mix. With the request that the maki be made without fish if possible, i.e. only vegetarian. When I got home I noticed that all the maki with fish were sake or tuna. The evening had already progressed so far that the restaurant was already closed. An annoying experience, as the taste has deteriorated over the years. The fried pieces of sushi were quite soggy. All in all, the price-performance ratio was not justified in my stay. It's a shame, but I'll be ordering my sushi somewhere else in the future.

Unfriendly service, banana flies everywhere, the tuna in my sushi was a mysterious tuna mousse, the sushi was tasteless and the seaweed was tough.

Éramos 3 personas almorzando con 3 platos diferentes y en todos ellos fueron bastante decepcionantes. Teniendo visiteret 50 + diferentes restaurantes de sushi en muchos países diferentes, este fue probablemente el más flojo y de peor calidad entre ellos. La camarera era bastante antipática. El tiempo de espera y la habitación estaba bien, aparte de las moscas del plátano. Pero no era caro... normalmente recibes lo que pagas pero en este caso tenemos menos.

Unfortunately, the starters and both dishes were nothing and not recommended.

Very good Asian in Kiel. Food was served quickly. 💪 use fresh vegetables, which were very tasty.

The sushi was delicious and beautifully designed!

The atmosphere has always been great. But the service is, as usual, friendly and, compared to the last time we were there, this time especially very proficient in the German language, which is still super pleasant after a long day. I still didn't have the feeling that people couldn't understand us, don't misunderstand us. Was very happy here today, thank you! The sushi has improved significantly compared to the first few years. All You Can Eat has a pleasant selection.

Nice place where the man is surprisingly good and we have been adopted back by several rounds. Really good food for the price

Once kimchi, a small selection of sushi, and mochi plus sake and lychee nectar for €50, and I don't regret a cent of it.

Fantastic food and super service

Food really tasty. We sat upstairs where it was a little cold.

At Sakura you can get very tasty all-you-can-eat sushi at a fair price. You can easily order using the tick cards. Practical; On a separate sheet you can see all available types of sushi and other delicacies (e.g. gyoza, edamame or spring rolls) at a glance in clear pictures. The service is good, clears empty plates quickly and takes new order slips quickly. However, this sometimes depends on the seat. In the back of the restaurant it sometimes takes a little longer to get rid of your new order slip. Unfortunately, it is sometimes very loud, which is due to the open room concept. When the place is busy, it's hard to have a conversation. Still a great restaurant, I come here regularly and enjoy the old and new sushi variants.

Very nicely furnished, especially the "fish pond" is impressive and creates a great ambience. The waitresses are nice, but difficult to find if something is missing from the table. The lunch menu is delicious and plentiful. It was great when a juice spritzer was included in the price. . .

Certainly the best Japanese restaurant in Kiel, maybe even in Schleswig-Holstein. Service is great, the food is exceptional and pricing is fair. If you want good sushi, this is the place to go in Kiel.

We have really liked Sakura for a long time. We particularly often visit the all you can eat. The sushi tastes very good and the selection of accompanying food (starters and desserts) is also large. The employees are always friendly and keep an eye on all guests. The atmosphere is cozy and designed for different group sizes. We'll always be happy to come back, thank you very much!

Food was good, homemade lemonade was delicious, service was very nice.

Comida muy deliciosa! Un poco caro, pero valió la pena! Los trabajadores eran muy serviciales y amables y el servicio era 10 / 10!

Leider waren wir nicht begeistert. Musik aus dem Lautsprecher zu laut und von der Musikrichtung unpassend. Suppe war viel zu salzig. Wokgemüse in der Bowl war nicht knackig und bissfest sondern zerkocht. Am Ende doch ein eher sehr ernüchternder Abend.

Solid service in an okay atmosphere with good food.

We ALWAYS eat there when we are traveling in Kiel. No matter what you order, everything tastes good and the service is always attentive and friendly. We feel very comfortable there and enjoy it to the fullest every time.

Nice atmosphere and super delicious sushi and beautifully prepared food.

Tasty food. Cozy atmosphere and friendly personal.

Maden var super god samt servicen var i top, Stedet er billigt. Sushien bliv serveret på et super flot træ skib. Kan klart anbefales.

Service was exceptional, all friendly and so kindly hardworking. Young gentleman offered to help package my meal, with additional broth. It wasn’t quite there but importantly the thought was very sincere and genuine as I wasn’t expecting at all regardless.

It was recommended to me and I didn't think the sushi was particularly good. Otherwise everything was fine. I probably wouldn't come back

Food great. The ambience was also successful. Service has always been friendly so far

Very good quality, price performance is right.

The food itself was great, but please never order the mochi. Unless you like gummies with sesame and a special flavor. Dessert not recommended. I trusted this store.

Nice staff, nice atmosphere and great sashimi and pho. Gladly again :)

Great Japanese/Asian cuisine and friendly service!!

Nice restaurant and the sushi was delicious. The portions were enough for us but certainly a little small for really good eaters (we had a plate for 2 people). Service was top. Priced in the upper average range. It was fun and tasty, but we wouldn't go there again, but there are plenty of more interesting alternatives.

Very good all you can eat sushi with fair prices.

Very nice sushi restaurant, good food, unfortunately a bit too noisy for my taste, but I still like to eat there

I've been eating here occasionally for 3 years and today I proposed to my girlfriend here and the service gave us the best seat and the best music. I was also able to place the rings specifically on the Okinawa plate You are awesome!!!

The food is varied and tastes great

The food is so delicious! Never have eaten anything so good. The portion tho are too big, in my opinion. I could not finish it. The staff is friendly and pleasant.

We ate there with 5 people and 1 dog. Very friendly staff. We all ate sushi. Delicious. You could also watch the preparation.

Very nice and well-kept restaurant. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Our food tasted excellent

Very tasty food and very friendly service. Not a long wait.

Wir hatten unseren Girls day& richtig Hunger auf Sushi .(wir essen gerne und oft Sushi) Von außen wie innen sah alles sehr einladend aus. Die Bedienung wirkte leider recht genervt&unfreundlich(aber sicher hatte sie nur wieder einen schlechten Tag ) Klar sind alles Menschen, aber auch ich arbeite mit Menschen & an einem schlechten Tag muss man einfach auch da professionell sein. Trinken bestellt, es kam geliefert & schon aus 2 Meter Entfernung sah ich das ein Glas mit 3 !!!Lippenstiftabdrücken versehen war. Habe direkt gesagt das ich gerne ein neues bekommen möchte. Ohne eine Entschuldigung dafür zu bekommen ( denn wenn es einem wichtig ist, würde man dies tun)wurde es getauscht. Dennoch tranken wir unser Wasser lieber aus der Flasche . Vorweg haben wir Edamame mit Meersalz bestellt (Meersalz suchte man vergeblich)Ich habe noch nie so aufgeweichte & schlechte Edamame gegessen (vermutlich vorgekocht& lange im heißen Wasser gelagert oder in der Mikrowelle aufgewärmt) Ich wollte mit Stäbchen essen(es gibt dort wiederverwendbare Plastikstäbchen)… diese waren ebenfalls nicht sauber & mit Essensresten vom vorherigen Gast versehen. Meine Tochter hat ihr Sushi dann mit den Fingern gegessen, da sie sich sehr geeckelt hat. Wir hatten vegetarisches Maki mit Avocado & Gurke,Lachs& Garnelen Maki. Der Seetang war sehr gummiartig. Die Gurke war bereits angetrocknet. Mein Maki mit Lachs war ebenfalls geschredderter Lachs.(wie bereits in einer anderen Bewertung geschrieben) Kurzum gab es um 16:00 Uhr für uns vermutlich bereits lange im Voraus vorbereitetes Sushi. Das Sushi von Edeka ist da ungelogen tausend mal frischer und leckerer!!! Die Toilette sieht auf den ersten Blick recht modern aus, auf den 2. Blick spiegelt sich die Sauberkeit auch dort nicht positiv wieder. Bei der Zahlung mit ec Karte wurde mir nur die Seite zum kontaktlosen bezahlen hin gehalten. Ich sehe gerne was auf dem Display steht, immer!!!Wo auch gesagt wurde ich brauche keine Sorge haben das da was falsche steht. Bin der Meinung, es kann immer aus Versehen passieren das man eine Zahl zu viel eintippt.Daher checke ich immer das Display … aber auch da fühlten sie sich auf den Schlips getreten. Klar wir waren um 16 Uhr essen, aber gerade dann, wenn nur 3 Tische besetzt sind ,erwarte ich frisch zubereitetes Sushi( & es war mehr als genug Personal anwesend, welches hinterm Tresen am Handy beschäftigt waren) Meinem Bauch ging es am Abend ebenfalls nicht wirklich gut!!! Ich kann mich den anderen Bewertungen von vor 2-3 Wochen anschließen& verstehe die positiven Bewertungen nicht! Für uns kein 2. Besuch wert. Und negative Bewertungen werden sich hier anscheinend nur online zu Herzen genommen.

We were really hungry for sushi on our girls day. (we like to eat sushi often) Everything looked very inviting from the outside and inside. Unfortunately the service seemed quite annoyed and unfriendly (but I'm sure she was just having another bad day) Of course they are all people, but I also work with people & on a bad day you just have to be professional there too. Ordered a drink, it was delivered and from 2 meters away I saw that a glass had 3 !!!lipstick marks on it. I said straight away that I would like to get a new one. Without receiving an apology (because if it was important to you, you would do this) it was exchanged. Nevertheless, we preferred to drink our water from the bottle. First of all, we ordered edamame with sea salt (we looked for sea salt in vain). I have never eaten such soggy and bad edamame (probably pre-cooked and stored in hot water for a long time or warmed up in the microwave) I wanted to eat with chopsticks (they have reusable plastic chopsticks)… these were also not clean and had leftover food from the previous guest. My companion then ate her sushi with her fingers because she was very disgusted. We had vegetarian maki with avocado & cucumber, salmon & shrimp maki. The seaweed was very rubbery. The cucumber was already dried out. My maki with salmon was also shredded salmon. (as already written in another review) In short, in the afternoon we probably had sushi that had been prepared well in advance. Edeka's sushi is, without a lie, a thousand times fresher and tastier!!! The toilet looks quite modern at first glance, but at second glance the cleanliness is not reflected positively there either. When paying with a card, I was only shown the contactless payment page. I like to see what's on the display, always!!! Whatever it says, I don't have to worry about something being wrong. I'm of the opinion that it can always happen by mistake that you type in one too many numbers. That's why I always check the display... but even then they felt like they were being taken for a ride. Sure we were There in the afternoon, but you can expect fresh sushi to be served within opening hours, especially when only 3 tables are occupied (there were more than enough staff present who were busy behind the counter on their cell phones) My stomach wasn't feeling really well that evening either!!! I can agree with the other reviews from 2-3 weeks ago & don't understand the positive reviews! Not worth a second visit for us. And negative reviews seem to only be taken to heart online.

Very tasty and fresh food. The all-you-can-eat sushi buffet on Monday and Thursday is particularly recommended

Great experience with All you can eat. The service is friendly and helpful. You don't have to wait for the food service. You can order whenever you want. This is far above the average.

Highly recommended, the Super Chrispy menu was particularly delicious and the delicious rice wine was simply heavenly.

Have been there several times and loved it every time

Super tasty, super clean and everyone was super friendly. That's fine, I'd love to come back here

Super delicious food and friendly staff. Cheap lunch menu.

I think it's very nice and that there are fish. Wow, I really like the sushi

Already tried sushi and ramen. Both great

Super great 🍣🍣🍣🍣 The service (table service) could be a little more attentive and also a little friendlier. Otherwise a great place to go for Japanese food

Large selection of sushi 🍣 variants. Price performance is okay

I find the service very unfriendly, the food is nothing special, I had had better Asian food in Kiel, I recommend Sri Thai.. As of July 18, 2024, today I wanted to give the shop another chance, nothing has changed, the service with the glasses is still very unfriendly and the food was dry and not good! You don't have to please every customer, but they are always very stressed. I'll never go there again!!

Nice place and good atmosphere, but the sushi was not very good. With those prices, we expected better.

Wrongly delivered, sushi with cooked shredded tuna (8 for €12) and other with shredded salmon. The worst sushi in a long time.

So.. I'm disappointed. I've been wanting to visit this restaurant for a long time, and yesterday was finally the day. My husband chose the evening buffet, I chose fried sushi and a pot of tea. Even though we had to wait a little too long at the beginning to be invited in, the service staff was friendly and accommodating. The restaurant looked nice and clean on both the ground floor and second floor, despite the high number of visitors. We chose a spot outside and off we went. In itself, the evening buffet for €26.90 per person is a good deal. You can eat anything shown on the buffet menu for 2 hours. You can choose up to 6 different dishes on the piece of paper per round. It sounds like a lot, but you only get small bites of each type. This in itself is also a good concept, because it is well known that too much food is thrown away, especially at buffets. But the portions are really EXTREMELY small. I've never seen fried sushi like this before. The rice didn't seem fresh, any other type of sushi just wasn't really tasty. We eat sushi often, there are enough comparative experiences. The whole time I had the feeling that the restaurant was trying extremely hard to save costs. And I don't like coming back to restaurants that don't want to offer their guests the best, especially because the prices can't be described as low. My husband had to wait almost 30 minutes between the first and second plates because there weren't that many guests sitting outside and the waiters didn't come there that often. Of course it was a bit frustrating because, as I said, the snacks are very small and you are of course very hungry at the beginning. The service staff are nice, but it's not so great when you have to wait so long between courses, especially because you only have 2 hours. By the way, I got a spring roll instead of my fried sushi. The waiter probably understood number 13 instead of my "number 113", even though I asked if he had written down 113. Luckily it was something I like, so I didn't cancel the order because the food would have been thrown away, I guess. The teapot with green tea tasted good, but it is questionable whether it can be called a "pot". There is a maximum of 300ml in there, maybe. A cup of tea would have been more worthwhile both in terms of price and quantity. If I'm honest, the visit made me very sad. I expected a lot more and the price-performance ratio is not right at all. I cannot recommend this nor will we go there again. A pity! And unfortunately I can't really understand all the good reviews. But I definitely thought the fish in the pond were cute.

The best sushi in Kiel! You should definitely try the crunchy rolls in particular. The homemade iced teas are also highly recommended! The conditions are all consistently super nice, attentive and patient. Unfortunately, the all-you-can-eat option doesn't convince us because it mainly contains the "sushi basics". Nevertheless, Sakura is our favorite restaurant in Kiel!

The drinks were homemade but tasted like water and sugar I didn't think the sushi was fresh and didn't taste good, even though I love sushi and have tried it everywhere. I had a large plate but unfortunately it wasn't tasty

Ingen mysig eller välkomnande känsla alls. Servicen var dålig och vi kände oss bortglömda. Maten var god. Vi delade på en exklusiv sushi tallrik för två och en valde en chicken roll. Den var god, men tyvärr lite för kall. God mat, men kändes som lägre klass pga miljön och servicen.

Anyone who likes sushi will be well served here. Extensive selection and good service is offered. Just try it out yourself.

I was late (after 9 p.m.) because I was cycling and a thunderstorm blocked my further journey. There was nothing left in the other restaurants, the kitchen was closed. It was completely different here, I was warmly welcomed and something was cooked for me. The miso soup was a poem, the duck teriyaki as well, and the dessert too - everything was delicious. If this place were around the corner from us, I would be a regular. It was getting late and as the last guest I had the pleasure of listening to the employees having dinner - how much laughter they were having. On the other hand, I was able to have a short small talk with the employees - everyone was very friendly, happy, and everyone had a smile on their faces. I miss this warmth in many other places. Keep it up. When I'm in Kiel again, I'll come over.

The lady in service seems very unfriendly and is very serious and not exactly guest-friendly when it comes to questions etc... it's a shame because otherwise the food and the cosiness are actually good here!

For us the first time here at the Sakura Sushi Restaurant. The sushi was very good, the eyes also ate with it👍 However, I would very much appreciate it if the table/place mats were also replaced when the guests had left. That seems a bit unhygienic to me... A lot of attention was paid to the design of the guest room, with a lot of attention to detail to bring in a touch of Asian (Japanese) home.

It was just enough for 3 people, otherwise I recommend eating the 4 person platter with 4 people ;D

Delicious food, very friendly staff. Overall as good

Very tasty restaurant with a large selection of dishes at reasonable prices. I would like to come back again.

The food was really world class, we ordered so much that the food was served on a small wooden boat

A wide selection of dishes for lunch. Fein Favorit M15 is in the photos. €10.50 + €2 for duck. The Coca-Cola 0.33l bottle is also available at lunchtime for €2.50. I find it quieter and more comfortable here than at Galeria in the passage and it is on the "walkway" main station <--> AIDA / Mein Schiff (Ostseekai), if you choose the route through Holstenstrasse.

Regular guest at the buffet - for me it was delicious and the selection was sufficient. Always fresh and fast: recommended. Unfortunately the homemade drink is no longer included.

I've been here many times for all you can eat. The sushi is always fresh and usually comes pretty quickly. The selection is great and there is also sushi that is not run of the mill. I always really enjoy coming here. 27€ buffet + 3€ for the drink are also okay.

We took sushi for 2, it was fresh, tasty and well served.

Were there for the third time. Always very satisfied, for us the best sushi restaurant in the north. Definitely recommended for fans of sushi.

Price wise is really good, I got this huge plate and it was amazing, I added a drink and only paid 13 euros Service wise the waitress is not nice, no patience when talking to you and always in a rush even when the restaurant is almost empty

The lunch menu is recommended and the service is quick and friendly. I reserved a table straight away for next time.

First of all, I don't like sushi 🤣 My daughter really enjoyed it, the duck (which I ate was good but not amazing), the mixed starter plate was very tasty! Very friendly service! Definitely a very good choice for sushi lovers!

Sushi was really tasty. Price is normal, 1 person 32 euros, soup + sushi + drinks. I recommend this restaurant.

Nice Asian restaurant in the middle of Kiel. Large selection of sushi with an all you can eat promotion twice a week. In addition to sushi, there is also a good selection of other dishes, many of which you can choose between beef, chicken, duck or vegetarian. I can't confirm comments about a long waiting time, I was there around 7:00 p.m. on a Thursday and everything went pretty quickly.

Very nice, very good sushi. Gladly again

everything simple average. I found the rolls to be significantly overpriced (for a city like Kiel).

Courteous, friendly service, simple decor, delicious sushi. With mini pond and koi.

In principle not bad. However, not cheap either. Downstairs I find the restaurant very simple. The top is beautifully designed...

I've enjoyed eating at Sakura for years. However, today I was a little disappointed. Among other things, we had the 83 - Crispy Udon. On the invoice the item “Normal” was listed as “2€”. When I asked, I was told by the waiter that this position was because I had the dish with beef, but if I looked correctly on the menu, beef is included in the dish as standard - only the vegetarian version has a different price . I found this very confusing and perhaps it should be noted on the map. Regardless, the food was, as usual, very tasty and the staff friendly! Addition: In response to the nice response to my review, I wanted to contact the restaurant, but the email address provided is probably not correct because I received error messages from two email services. Unfortunately, I didn't receive any response to an email to the website address I researched, which is a shame. =(

Went to Sakura for the first time yesterday before the THW game. There were two of us, we were greeted very friendly and taken to our reserved table. The food we ordered and the drinks came quickly and we were very positively surprised 👍 it tasted excellent, everything was freshly prepared 😋 and a very generous portion 👍 this was definitely not our last visit 😁

Super delicious food and friendly service!

Gladly again and again. As bratwurst eaters from Thuringia, we can really recommend this place. Nice personel.
