Restaurant Sakura in Wijk 00 Waalwijk

Very good food. Espacially we liked the marinaded beef. Good quality and lots of options to choose from.

Staff very unfriendly! Food very mediocre, serious doubt if it is fresh! The all-you-can-eat process is slow, meaning Sakura keeps more money in their pockets. I would stay away from here!

Terribly bad food, I regret ordering here more than anything. I ordered food from this restaurant last Wednesday. The food was tough, the fish wasn't fresh, the rice wasn't good, and the soy sauce had an off taste. I had to throw half of it away. On Wednesday, I tried to get hold of the restaurant, but couldn't reach them. Yesterday, Google.nl indicated that they were closed, so I called today. I called politely and explained my story; the Korean or Chinese lady could only scream at me that none of it was true, that I was lying, that they are always right. What incredibly bad service, I have never experienced anything this bad. After I asked for it 5(!) times, I was given a free roll with the next order. You know what, just keep it! A self-respecting restaurant would have said, we'll try again with the same order and this time it will be right! If you have the choice, steer clear of this place. I understood the Korean BBQ section is just as bad.

Nasty, soulless place with poor quality food. The food is not fresh, poorly prepared, and sloppily thrown into a box. If you comment on this, the staff are very loud-mouthed, incredibly rude, don't care about your opinion, and tell you you are lying. Very expensive, for which you get nothing in return. If you go here for All You Can Eat, they slow down so much during those 2 hours that they can take some money back themselves. Pathetic that such rubbish can still exist these days. Absolutely worthless restaurant. Stay far away from it!

It's inedible, my griddle burns every 2 minutes, the sushi tastes like nothing, the matcha is brown, eating takes a long time, and I could list many more things like that.

No complaints, really. It is clean, the food is delicious, the concept is nice, and the staff is friendly. We didn't find the marinated lamb that tasty, but tastes differ. The sushi is very good. It's a shame there isn't much choice in that regard. Otherwise, there really is plenty of choice and something for everyone. We don't like cucumber, so we took it out of the sushi. A member of staff noticed and suggested telling the chef to put avocado in instead of cucumber. We thought that was good service. The only downside is the chairs. After an hour, our bottoms, backs, and legs were hurting quite a bit. Despite that, we will definitely be back. And next time we'll bring a cushion, haha.

We stopped here after a day at Efteling and had a delicious meal. The staff were lovely, the food was tasty and served quickly. In our opinion, the selection is extensive. There is something for everyone.

Picked up takeaway sushi box with spring rolls Very tasty to do once in a while if the opportunity arises

We had a super tasty meal and drinks, with plenty of meat and good fish options. Not as many vegetable options, but enough. Definitely recommended if you want to try something different: the Korean BBQ.

Since Korean BBQ it became available, it's also much less. Eating out with the family is not recommended. It's basically unlimited, but still a long wait even though 2 tables were occupied. So deliberately to earn more and give less away. That's why only 2.

Smallish place, a bit dark for my liking. The menu is not extensive, please be aware to order the sauses and wasabi.

No respect, rude, speak no Dutch, and the food is extremely bad.

Honestly, I have rarely had such a bad experience. Poor communication, agreements were not honored, and absolutely no effort was made to resolve the issue. It felt like customer satisfaction is not a priority here. Absolutely not worth repeating.

I am blown away by all the "good" reviews here. The meat served is certainly mediocre to poor. The beef and chicken were tender. Other dishes were tough and were served frozen at our table. Otherwise, the people were friendly, but unfortunately, I won't be going back.

We dined here with a group on Saturday evening. The staff was friendly, but it was clear they couldn't handle the crowds. The meat was very disappointing: the steak and chicken were fine, but the rest was tough and sometimes even partially frozen. Unfortunately, the sushi was also of mediocre quality. Additionally, the ventilation in the restaurant is very poor. Upon returning home, our clothes and hair smelled completely of food, which was very unpleasant. All in all, not a good experience and certainly not something we would repeat.

Had a delicious meal at Sakura. It was fun and original with the gourmet/BBQ griddle and tasty meat for the griddle; the hot food was also nice and hot, and the sushi was very tasty and freshly prepared. The service was pleasant and the food was served quickly. It was a nice experience.

Had a delicious meal at a very nice concept. Friendly staff and very fast service. Easy system to operate via the phone. Highly recommended.

We had a delicious meal. Even though there was only one person serving, things moved very quickly. We will definitely be back.

Delicious food, large portions, and prompt service. Even though only one person was working the dining area, we still received our orders quickly every time. Highly recommended!

The food is very delicious, the staff is very friendly. I recommend this place.

We ate here on Friday night. We took advantage of a social deal: all you can eat for 2.5 hours. The restaurant looked great otherwise. The evening we were there with a group of 7, there was only one waitress. The place wasn't completely full. You can choose 3 dishes per round, including the side dishes. There's a 15-minute wait for each round before you can order another round via the app. We even had to wait 45 minutes for one round. That was less. It makes the 2.5 hours fly by. The selection was excellent, and the quality was also good. The drinks are also reasonably priced. Generally speaking, I've eaten at better Korean BBQ places.

A place worth visiting, the food is good quality despite the low price 🥰 It’s always one of our options for dinner with my boyfriend - I really recommend it!

This is simply a top-notch place. The quality of the food here is truly outstanding! The staff doesn't seem to pay much attention to you, but that's not a problem because you can manage everything via the QR code.

We had a delicious meal at a very reasonable all-you-can-eat price. The drinks aren't outrageously priced either. The meat and fish were of good quality, tender, and well-seasoned. Plus, the baking paper is changed regularly at the staff's discretion, without needing to be asked. Friendly service, too. Ordering rounds is possible via mobile phone.

The food was delicious and there was plenty of choice. Perhaps the sushi selection could be expanded. The friendly young man serving us went out of his way to help us if something wasn't clear or if we needed something to add to a dish. Highly recommended!

The food was delicious! Definitely worth repeating.

We had a delicious meal. Everything was well-seasoned and served quickly. It was also great that the staff were attentive and even brought us new parchment paper. One small point for improvement: it would be nice if you could order extras like lettuce, cucumber, and sauces, in addition to the six you're allowed to order. Otherwise, it's absolutely fantastic.

Indoor BBQs are fantastic. It's cozy and the meat and fish are good quality. Sometimes the ordering system gets stuck, and some dishes are missing. The staff is very friendly.

very nice, peaceful atmosphere. very tasty food

Great restaurant! Great concept. Service is excellent, food is fantastic!

The food was mediocre and the sushi was lukewarm. The service wasn't very friendly, so we won't be returning!

The food is good, fresh, and delicious, but it's a bit of a hassle when three people want to bake at the same time. Luckily, there's fresh baking paper for each round. The service is friendly. I didn't find the atmosphere appealing, nor did the decor.

I'm never ordering from here again!!!! I had to wait over an hour, the restaurant was impossible to reach by phone... then I got in the car and went to get it myself. My order still needed to be made, and they just laughed at me... truly ridiculous! I was handed a five-dollar bill "here for the gas"... it was for a €73 order (3 sushi boxes). You'd expect more. I've never encountered such unfriendly people.

Great service. Tastes delicious, especially the sushi with crispy chicken 😍

Leuk knus restaurantje. Erg sfeervol ingericht. Bestellen gaat via de app wat in het begin wat moeizaam ging maar verder prima. Lekker eten en verrassende smaakjes bubble tea en homemade lemonade. Je mag 3 gerechten per ronde met tussenpozen van minimaal 15 minuten bestellen, wel jammer dat ook sla en een sausje als gerecht tellen. Bediening is erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Aan het eind wilden we nog ijs bestellen maar de tijd bleek om. Systeem had geen tijdsaanduiding waar je op kunt letten. Maar we mochten alsnog rechtreeks aan de bediening doorgeven welke smaak we wilden.

A lovely, cozy restaurant with a very atmospheric interior. Ordering is done via the app, which was a bit tricky at first, but otherwise, it was fine. Delicious food and surprising flavors of bubble tea and homemade lemonade. You can order three dishes per round, with a minimum of 15 minutes between each order. It's a shame that salad and a sauce also count as a dish. The service is very friendly and helpful. At the end, we wanted to order ice cream, but it turned out we were out of time. The system didn't have a time indicator to keep track of. However, we were still able to tell the staff directly which flavor we wanted.

Really delicious food! Wide selection and everything tasted super fresh and really surprisingly delicious!!

Such a Korean BBQ was worth repeating. It was striking that there was a pair of scissors on the table, so I used them as a knife (no idea if that was the intention). But if there is no knife and fork on the table, you have to come up with a solution to cut the meat. After all, we ate with metal chopsticks

Great! Cozy and delicious food. Good quality food 👍

Super sweet helpful staff. Been there for the 2nd time and was just as good as the first time. Super tasty food of good quality something for everyone and hard working staff!

Delicious food. It was nice and quiet.

Extremely unfriendly employees. The social deal and the website do not state that a maximum of 2 scoops of ice cream per person may be ordered. So all you can eat is not all you can eat. When this is discussed, I am told that I should look at the system after paying. When asked where it is, they cannot show it and they blame me because my system is in English. It was also not visible on my friends' Dutch mobile phones. It's a shame that the blame is being placed on the customer in this way.

Very unfriendly service, never got told that we were only allowed to order 2 deserts per person (only ice cream available) at an 'all you can eat'. Then they told us that it was 'in the system' and we could have known despite it never being stated anywhere. They put the blame unto us for not knowing. Very poor, unfriendly, and hostile treatment because they've been unclear and dishonest and put the fault on us for simply not knowing. The atmosphere doesnt look and feel very inviting. Not worth the money, regret going here.

It's nice to have something different BBQ at the table. You can easily order your dishes via the app. 3 at a time. But also sushi and ready-made dishes. Ate for 2.5 hours. Was fine. Definitely recommended.

New korean bbq in town. The best gyoza I ever eat. Meat also good, fast service and the owner they are so kind. It could be better if side dishes not charge as 1 item per round.

Je bestelt om 18h00 via thuisbezorgd en zo snel mogelijk Je belt om 19h00 max 20 minuten wordt het geleverd.... 20h00 nog niks Nog 20 minuten wachten!!! Is nu al 3 e x Klaar mee. Bestelling geannuleerd

1st star for your hard work, you do your best to make the best of it, 2nd star for your specialty "frying". I will not mention them further here. After explaining your operation, I found the atmosphere a bit strange, but I was still curious about your concept. However, I wanted to walk away with my wife to the 1st round, but afterwards I stayed to discover more deeply about your concept. A tip I will give you: research and explore your competition, especially with the big boys such as Daebak or Seoul Sista in Utrecht. Go out for dinner together and check out their concept. You won't last long this way. Your service with a hat on is disturbing. Maybe he has something going on with his head, I respect, but at least wear a headscarf (eg: Japanese Chef's Headscarf), at least it fits your theme. If you are curious about other points, let me know and I will send you a separate email about it. But good luck with the case!!!

Delicious food and plenty of supplements.

Nice meal. Restaurant has been completely renovated.

Selection is limited. Everything has to be ordered separately, even wasabi, salateleaves, sauses and only 3 per person. Better go to Tilburg Asian Boulevard Korean BBQ. No Alcohol free beer but raidler. Drinks also limited choice. Once but they will not see us again.

Was a positive surprise Very nice to BBQ yourself. Enough choice. Highly recommended

I had an amazing experience at Sakura Korean BBQ restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, with an all-you-can-eat menu that offers a fantastic variety ... from lamb, pork, and seafood to a range of authentic Korean side dishes that taste incredibly authentic. The owner is incredibly warm and welcoming, which adds to the overall great atmosphere. The restaurant is spotlessly clean, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and variety of food. Located right in the heart of Waalwijk, it’s perfect for both groups and couples looking for a fun, satisfying meal. Highly recommended!”

The food was okay... quite bland and there wasn't much choice. The tables were very close together. There was no soap in the toilet and there was no garbage bag in the waste bin. You can order 3 dishes per person per round. This also includes sauces and lettuce.

I've eaten here before with my mother. But today I went with my boyfriend. We arrived quite late and she said ''yes, but then you only have 1.5 hours to have a BBQ'', which was fine with us. We had a very pleasant evening with really delicious food. We were allowed to remain seated while they started cleaning and tidying up. Afterwards, out of gratitude, I tried to help with the clearing. And said a friendly goodbye. Really great place, nice people and delicious food. Highly recommended!!!

I ordered food here at 5:15 PM and after an hour and a half I called to check on the status of our order. I received the answer that the order had not yet been made and I did not know how long it would take, but at least another hour. 2.5 hours was far too long for me, so I canceled the order.

Nice barbecue Good meat Tasty side dishes Friendly employees Very good

Really delicious food! Atmosphere is also good. Most of the staff was friendly but one person was wearing a cap (which doesnt suit the vibe and Atmosphere of the place, was really weird to me that he was allowed to wear a cap). The same guy also sounded really annoyed/sad the whole night, didn't really lift our mood... and he was hard to understand because he was whispering. Besides that one person, great experience and very delicious food!! Tip for the restaurant: make the portions a little smaller so we can try a bigger variety of foods.

It was very worthwhile. It's a shame about the photos on their site because they don't do them justice because in reality the atmosphere was much warmer and friendly.

Delicious food, everything was super fresh and nicely seasoned.

Delicious food, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

Enough food baking tray not optimal, little space at the table Good service Nice for once, not worth repeating

We have a very nice experience with this restaurant. We went to Sakura for Korean BBQ. Hospitable service, delicious food and generous portions. Quality of the food was perfect and it was pleasant to stay in the restaurant. We will definitely come back again.

The customer service was not good. For example, the picture of a sushi roll didn't match what we got at all, they said it was just a random picture from the internet and that they didn't want to do anything about it. We should have just known it from the name of the dish (even though there was no Dutch description anywhere?). No one really comes to check if everything is okay. They don't talk to you after the concept has been explained. Even though the food was absolutely fine, for such a price we expected a little more friendliness.

Great to end an evening here with a table BBQ... and friendly staff! Delicious dishes that are also easy to bake, and excellent side dishes... and not expensive

Wat een leuke avond heb ik met mijn vriend gehad. Echt enorm lekker eten, we konden eigenlijk niet stoppen. Het barbecuen aan tafel is ook leuk om te doen. Goed personeel wat vriendelijk is en interesse toont.

Very tasty meal. Had all you can eat (table) BBQ. Just a bit different than we know. Very friendly staff. Top

Delicious meat with many options, including many halal meat. Unfortunately it is on the pricey side and costs 32.50 euros per person (excluding drinks). With drinks you will spend at least 40 to 50 euros per person.

The concept and the aperture are really great. How fun and original the BBQ at the table and the dishes are very good. The building does not seem very attractive, especially from the outside, but the people and dishes more than make up for that. They also have a good Social deal. We enjoyed it very much!

Great!!! The employees are super friendly and fast, and the meat and sushi are of high quality! To be repeated!

With social deal vouchers it's a bit cheaper to eat here than other all-you-can-eat places, but I find the food and service very lacking. The side dishes (counted as 1 item for every round of ordering) are extremely bland and small-portioned, while they play an important role in Korean BBQs. The kimchi beef soup I tried was only salty with no Korean flavor. The marinated meat was OK, gyozas were nice and we enjoyed the bubble teas, but we don't think we will come back. We came with a baby and they didn't really care about him, so also not a kid-friendly place.

Nice concept! Alternately, you can bake meat yourself, or order already prepared dishes (such as sushi). The quality of the food was good and the staff was friendly and fast. We will definitely come back.

Ate here for the first time yesterday. Upon arrival we walked to the counter to indicate that we had made a reservation. The young guys behind the counter didn't really know how to address customers and told us to find a table. This concept was new to us, so we were waiting for an employee to come and give us an explanation. It still didn't come after 15/20 minutes of waiting. You could view the menu via a QR code at the table and also order this way. We did this and then our food arrived fairly quickly and we asked for an explanation ourselves. The food itself was brought to the table quickly and was of good quality, the idea of ​​BBQing yourself was very nice. However, we thought the menu was not very extensive compared to other restaurants in the area. Furthermore, a nice addition in Waalwijk for a normal price 👍🏻

insanely delicious nice way to eat I will definitely eat here again

Too bad the server was in a swimsuit and slippers. Waitress with red hair took good care of us - Greetings

Really great, tasty food, nice employees and a good atmosphere

Recommended!!! The employees are super friendly and attentive, and the meat is of high quality! Definitely not my last time!

The food was fine but very little choice for all you can eat

I recently had a fantastic experience at your BBQ on table restaurant and I can't wait to share it! Everything from the freshly prepared sushi to the warm and fast service exceeded my expectations. The staff were friendly and attentive, always on hand to ensure my drink was never empty. An absolute must for lovers of freshly prepared food and hospitable service!

Although it looks a bit shabby from the outside, it is a nice place to be inside. Nice concept with the grill. However, due to the extraction, legroom is somewhat limited if you are on the tall side. Food otherwise fine.

I have already been at the door twice during opening time, including on Saturday afternoon at half past three, and the business is closed.

At first we didn't think it would be super tasty, but nothing could be further from the truth. Both the beef teriyaki noodles and the chicken with garlic/chili sauce were delicious!! Lots of meat and vegetables so well filled!!

Very delicious and fast delivery to Efteling Hotel

The food was really delicious, I enjoyed it immensely, but the decoration could be improved, there is enough space to make it a nice dining experience. Plus cleaning and window cleaning please 😉

Friendly hardworking people who will do their best for you. It was nice every time I ate here.

You can eat well here, delicious sushi and excellent satay!

Very weird experience. Ordered 2 bubble teas with tapioca. Nearly 50% was ice, the tapioca was undercooked, the taro powder had not dissolved yet so we had to put it in a blender, but the tea drink itself was quite good. The personnel was quite hard to talk to and seemed very disinterested. The wait for the bubble tea felt a bit awkward.

Nice and understanding service.

Not so tasty. The fried came fried in old fat. Sushi not rolled properly. And it arrived much too late and incomplete. Shame!

We have always had a delicious meal there, but something went wrong with our last order and we were treated very rudely and not at all in a customer-friendly manner by the owner. A reason for us to look for another sushi shop!

The place is small. But their sushi is delicious!

Great place in the center of Waalvijk, had a good beer and french fries, nice & easy.

As I ordered sushi here before, it was super tasty and delivered on time.

Great food again, everything delivered on time. Great job folks.

Delicious sushi and friendly (hardworking) staff!

Ball tent takes forever to get your food And if you call, you will also get a big mouth.

Worthless if the shop opens at 4:00 PM and you can no longer order at 4:30 PM

Nice company. I'll be going here again soon

Perfect shushi always fresh good quality❤

The food was absolutely ok. Unfortunately, only one of the staff speaks English.

Tasty ice creams, delicious food
