Sakura

Called Saturday evening and tried a mixture of dishes.
The Teppanyaki bit itself is great fun: around 12 seats are arranged around a metal hot plate and the (shared) chef works in front of you. In addition to preparing the food he flourishes his tools, juggles with some of the implements and even (optionally) threw the bowls fried rice to the customers! Somehow everyone I saw trying this managed to catch it, which was a relief.
For starters we had Chicken Yakitori (chicken on skewers with leek and yakitori sauce), Harumaki (deep fried Japanese spring rolls) and Prawn Tempura: these varied from £4−5.50 per portion and I’d suggest one or two each as the dishes are small but tasty. We didn’t try the Sushi, Makimono, Temaki or Sahimi, although some of the others at the shared table did and it looked nicely presented.
For the mains (£10−17) we went with Traditional Teppanyaki: this is the food that the chef prepares in front of you on the hot plate. This is safe, but I don’t think it would be a good idea for very young children. We had Tuna filet steak seared and served with teriyaki sauce and chopped pickled ginger; Scottish sirloin Hibachi Steak which was served to order, in our case rare. The steak and teriyaki sauce was lovely, the tuna was very nice but a little overcooked to our tastes. This was accompanied by egg fried rice with chicken at the start (£4.00), fried mushrooms and bean sprouts at the end (included in the cost).
Everything was nicely cooked and very tasty. We had a bottle of Australian Merlot, which was good value at under £15. The food was good value, the staff were helpful and polite, and there is a reasonable amount of parking outside. Highly recommended.

I have been to this restaurant twice now, I was very pleased to find one so local as Japanese is my favourite cuisine.
The menu is extensive, but a little on the pricey side. The Teppanyaki chefs are very talented and put on a real show for you while cooking the food. They also serve Sushi, Sashimi and Yakitori.
I am lucky enough to have eaten Japanese food in Tokyo so the bar is set quite high fo me in terms of quality and authenticity. While this restaurant appears to be Chinese run rather than Japanese, the food still tastes authentic and the experience is very worthwhile. The Sake is great too, especially warm.
Highly recommended, only loses one star for the prices.

Easily one of the best restaurants in Northampton town centre. The sushi and sashimi are fantastic and after trying it you will find it hard to go back to the sort you’d find in a supermarket. A great night out for couples or groups alike as you are seated around a tepanyaki table with your own personal chef dishing out fantastic food right in front of you. Along with great food you are entertained by the chefs who perform for you as they cook, from making huge flames across the hotplate when they start to flipping a bowl of egg fried rice into your hand from their spatula you will get a geat show that you won’t forget.
The food is very tasty, fresh and great quality. Well worth the money in my opinion!

Great food — The best sushi I have eaten (and I used to live in London and go to many a sushi bar!). Groups will have an entertaining night out, especially at the Tepanyaki table where the chef sets light to the tepanyaki table and cooks the food in front of you
The only downside is that it is quite expensive!
