• Japanese • East Molesey

Booked 9 times today

Sakura Yakiniku is proud to be the first Japanese restaurant that provides an authentic smokeless barbecue restaurant by Hampton Court, Surrey, just a short walk from the historic Hampton Court Palace. The most unique feature of YAKINIKU is that the meat will come to you RAW! You get to grill it all by yourself. We have a selection of traditional and complementary dishes to suit all including imported Japanese top grade WAGYU beef, British premium steak beef, chicken, pork, seafood, and a selection of vegetables, with our special home-made sauce.We only want the best, so our grills are imported all the way from Japan. The best part of this is that with their unique cutting-edge technology alongside the down draft vent system, the smoke is sucked under the table and away from our guests so the grill is smokeless. This minimises the smokiness associated with similar grills allowing you to enjoy your dining experience at Sakura Yakiniku.

Visited Gaucho Richmond on Thursday 9th Jan @ 1pm. The ambiance of the restaurant was perfect for a relaxing lunch. A few customers dotted around the restaurant which gave it a cosy feel. Music was at the right level and the choice of music was perfect. Staff very professional, efficient and attentive. Food amazing and a good size for a 2 x course lunch. Felt very fresh and tasty. Overall highly recommend. Planning to bring my family back in May to celebrate my sons 21st birthday, Thank you for a lovely lunch.

The restaurant was extremely quiet due to the time of year and day of the week, but the customer service and food quality did not waver. The food was outstanding and the service we were given was above and beyond.
