Really delicious takeaway. Thoroughly recommend. We had the aubergine and chicken bento boxes, veggie gyozas and some miso soups. All were great

Ordered a meal for me and my family (including 2x younger/fussy children) and it was a very quiet affair in our room that night, with it being enjoyed by all! The meal was ready bang on 7pm and all tasted fresh and you could tell everything was hand-made rather than bought in (including the wasabi, which was proper wasabi, not that green tinged horseradish some places peddle on you!) I truly recommend to locals and tourists alike...we'll be coming back next time we come across! (Sorry no pics as was eaten far too quickly )

Got the chilli prawn bento box, it was served fast, tastes fire, all looked fresh, little kick of spice. Only caveat is I could still eat afterwards, so id recommend a side as well.

When you’re in need of some clean food, this is the perfect takeout. We had chicken karage and chili prawn bento boxes. They were excellent. It felt like eating my Japanese friend’s home cooking.

The food here is delicious! The menu isn’t huge which I think is perfect, because what they have is cooked extremely well rather than a big menu of mediocre food. Highly recommend! I would have come again tonight had it not been a Monday thank you!

Very tasty dishes to take away, prepared with great attention to detail. Perfect addition to the other food spots available nearby. Lovely staff too.

Delicious, exquisite food, beautifully presented, with vegan and carnivore options! We were delighted with our meal, while in Orkney to walk the St Magnus' Way. Our Sakura Kitchen dinner was tasty, healthy with excellent customer service!

Used the online ordering to rebook food. Friendly & welcoming staff when arrived to pick up. Food presentation is excellent. Tasty fresh ingredients. All dishes were excellent (teriyaki chicken, spicy prawns & aubergine katsu curry - also chicken gyoza & miso soup) The bento boxes were well balanced & very tasty. Couldn't fault anything & highly recommend
