    A great place to have japanese/asian food in Farwaniyah in Kuwait. Located in Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn Al Thuraya City. The restaurant is nicely designed reflecting the Japanese ambiance. The staff are really nice and professional especially the Manager, Mr Bassam. The food is really good and tasty. On every Saturday, there is an open buffet which contains everything on the menu, varieties of sushi, maki, salads and a live teppanyaki show. Worth trying! Recommended!

    Crownze Plaza/Thuraya has 2 Sakura locations. One in the main hub (new building) and the original restaurant in the old building. We tried their Sushi Frenzy (all you can eat) buffet on Tuesday from 6pm. Food was great though the choice is limited compared to the Sushi buffet they have in the other location on Saturday afternoon. If you love Japanese food, then Sakura is the top choice fir great food in Kuwait. Highly recommended.

    I highly commend this restaurant, the staff is nice especially the filipino guy mac roy, the food is exceptional, you have lots of choices from different options of cuisines that they have, the food from sakura itself is exquisite, from the sushi rolls to its grilled beef slices and the tempura. the service is one of a kind, whenever i need something like a baby chair to cutleries mac roy is very helpful. i will try and will come again here.

  • 2/5 Lyrox〆 4 months ago on Google
    The Service was horrible. The waiter was not kind and took our order wrong. They fired the nice guy for some stupid reason like “ he was late “. The food tasted like it was sitting in the freezer for years. The rice was frozen and they didn’t apologize for the mistake. The place was nice but not many people were there it was only me and my family. Horrible experience I do not recommend it.

    Authentic Japanese cuisine. Most loved in kuwait. They have maintained and improved their dishes and services over the decades.

  • 3/5 bobo d. 1 year ago on Google
    underwhelming & over priced in my opinion / The staff could use some professional development course - The Japanese atmosphere is just not there 🤷🏻 , don’t get me wrong food is OK but it’s not about just the food it’s about the experience.
