Sakura
Get transported to Tokyo, without leaving Sheikh Zayed Road...
Tucked away behind Oscar’s Wine Bar, it’s easy to overlook Sakura - but believe us, you don’t want to do that.
It may be nestled inside the Crowne Plaza on SZR but this Japanese restaurant is traditional Tokyo - from the choice of dishes, right down to the traditional sushi bar to the teppanyaki tables, or for ultimate seclusion, the private tatami rooms.
To start we went for the classic prawn tempura which, given the sheer size of it, could have served as a main course and the Philly rolls with a side order of deliciously moreish edamame to share (to avoid complete diet suicide).
For mains try the salmon teriyaki or the melt-in-the-mouth teppanyaki beef which (if requested) they’ll cook in front of you.
And for desert we recommend the tempura ice-cream. Delicious creamy ice-cream wrapped in a thick, piping hot and crispy batter. What’s not to like?
We loved the funky furnishings. The black and white theme keeps things understated, but the zealous splashes of vibrant pink on the walls and table mats perfectly suit the lively atmosphere and super-friendly service. We’ll definitely be back.
