"I'm embarrassed to admit that I should have written this review ages ago. I'm a regular at Sakura but I have wanted to keep the place a secret for myself but that is obviously not fair or sustainable. Fortunately the rest of the world doesn't think selfishly like me. What can I say about this place. Well lets start with the food. It's frankly the best Sushi I've ever had and I've done my fair share of travel. We moved to South Woodford 5 years ago and have previously used Wansteads Sumo Fresh until Sakura moved in. A tiny space on Hermon Hill I've watched it grow from a couple of people to over half a dozen and the quality and care have been maintained if not even excelled. Sakura ensure quality, if you have to wait for that quality then get over yourself, it's worth it. You get personal service each and everytime. I don't know how they do it but they know me by name and they look after me everytime."

"Visited TDH on a Sunday. Got seated immediately. We ordered a roast dinner platter with all the trimmings and lamb shoulder for £100. On the pricier side. This platter is good for 3 people. It was so delicious but slightly over oily. The cabbage and sprouts are to die for! The meat falls off the bone is tender and juicy. I ordered a champagne cocktail expecting it to be a bellini or something creative but it was underwhelming and literally a glass of sparkling wine with a brown sugar cube plopped at the bottom of the glass. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. They kept checking up on us to see if we needed anything if the food was good. Drink service was veryyyy slow. Interior is so pretty! I would go again to try their seafood; I've heard great things"

"pizza is fantastic! after almost 20 pizzerias in london I finally found (a local with decent teig. decent is a compliment of what I saw and cost in london (I am a cook, with more than decent pizzaiollo experience. although the venue has massive oversized menus (which is always a bad sign, which in the rule costs 1 star of my review, I will still be a 5 star review for the best quattro formaggi pizza in the last year. Go on. soon I will try the rest of the menu."

"The majority of the food at the restaurant was delicious, however, the popadoms were extremely oily. The waiter explained that they had just been fried, but we found this explanation unacceptable as we have dined at many Indian restaurants and never experienced such greasy popadoms before. The waiter did offer us a complimentary masala popadom, but it was no better. We were also disappointed to learn that the restaurant's alcohol license had expired when we tried to order drinks, which should have been mentioned when we made our reservation. Additionally, we ordered all of our starters and main courses at once, expecting to receive the starters first as we had specified to the waitress. Unfortunately, our dosa's arrived well before the rest of our food, leaving us waiting. When we mentioned this to the waitress, she explained that the kitchen was very busy and suggested we should have informed her when ordering, which we had already done. The loud volume of the television playing Coco Melon and the music made it difficult for the waitress to hear our concerns. To add to the disappointment, a large party with noisy children made it challenging for us to have a conversation without speaking loudly. Overall, our dining experience was not enjoyable and fell short of our expectations, despite the decent quality of the food (excluding the popadoms)."

"I recently dined at this restaurant for dinner and the service was top-notch. I have heard some people complain about the cleanliness, especially those who order through delivery apps. However, the food served here was freshly marinated and best enjoyed when served immediately after cooking. The dishes had low salt content and were incredibly flavorful. To appreciate this type of cuisine, one must forget about the heavily salted dishes we are accustomed to. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and so did everyone with me. The atmosphere was fantastic, with a water dispenser filled with fruits and mint for guests to enjoy. I don't understand the negative reviews as the service at this restaurant was excellent. I ordered two lamb shawarmas and a falafel platter, both of which had generous portion sizes. We had to take home leftovers because we couldn't finish everything. I have included some photos to showcase the beautiful presentation of the food, which is rare to find at this price point. I would give them ten stars and this is a genuine review as I am not affiliated with the business."
