Restaurant Japanese restaurant Asian restaurant

🫤 Tried the live teppanyaki at Sakura. One word: Dont! The meat was hard and poorly seasoned. So was the rice. Had to pour soy sauce repeatedly for flavour. The chef is not Japanese rather Filipino! The gyoza was nice and the only item we enjoyed. Verdict: I've had better teppanyaki and this is not... People often mention great, experience, service, amazing, Japanese, teppanyaki,

    Ohhh what an experience. Visited this restaurant with my friend to try Japanese food first time. After long discussion with restaurant person and my half experience friend finally ordered osaka moriawase which was great fish wrapped in rice and fish thin slices on rice ... Whatever it was but great.. so we got confidence on Waiter and ordered second dish tepu spicy maki which was also similar type of dish but different test. My first experience was really great we also had mocktails like pineapple breeze and virgin makari fizz. Name of the dishes were complicated but taste was really great thanks to friendly staff. We want to have food with chopsticks they saw our struggle and brought us simple version of it which was really good. Restaurant is located in famous hotel Radisson Blu. Decor is Japanese with dim light live cooking can be experienced here. Yes it is expensive place but worth in place like qatar. Must visit place if want to try Japanese cuisine.

    We had a lovely dinner at Sakura. Sashimi and Tempura were great. We tried the teppanyaki instructing the chef to not overcook and it was excellent. The live cooking show was also an experience we enjoyed a lot. Thank you to chef Engel and the team James, Rachel, Salve and Janine for the amazing service

  • 3/5 Gurumoorthy K. 4 years ago on Google
    The food is very normal or even I can say substandard for the price ,other than the salad variety. The quality is below average, taste of the food doesn't have the aroma and the flavour. Desserts ummali , I stopped with the first spoon, teramisu cake , useless. No fresh juices available. Nevertheless the people working are very polite and friendly. Radisson Blu has a reputation but not in food quality for sure.

  • 5/5 Ali E. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best sushi places in Qatar . Although the place is in desperate need of renovation not due to old furniture or deprived use but because of the old style which all if not most of the restaurants have migrated from. The atmosphere is calm , the place is small but nice in a charming way . I still have memories from this restaurant from 12 years and I still visit . The food is at upmost quality and taste . Huge variety of sushi rolls which lots of major restaurants in Doha lack. Prices are extremely fair and competitive to other 5 star restaurants . 5 stars for food without any hesitation , 4 due to the outdated design , but it never bothered me as long tas the sushi is amazing , so 5 stars always
