Hi everybody.

Thankyou for your interest in sakushi. The opening has been delayed because of some extended building works. We aim to open this week.

I stopped by today and looked at the menu. Sushi belt prices range from 1.80 for the cheaper plates up to 3.50ish for the more expensive ones. Soba, ramen, and udon were in the 6-9 pound range, depending on the style.

I went in for lunch on Saturday with my boyfriend and we were both really impressed. I thought the texture and seasoning of the rice was the best of any sushi I have had, and was really impressed with the freshness and flavour of all the raw fish (although there's plenty of options for people who don't like it raw!).

We shared everything between us and had:

gyoza, octopus nigiri, Teriyaki chicken, yakitori, steak nigiri, salmon and rice wrapped in bean curd, california rolls, Korean pickles, crab wrapped in seaweed, spicy tuna wrapped in seaweed, scallop sashimi, (and possibly more... I've forgotten!)
2 glasses of white wine
2 flasks of sake

The whole lot came to £60 (would have been about £40 without the alcohol), which I think is pretty good value, as we were both stuffed!

Will definitely be going again, and think it would be a great place to go with mates, especially before an evening out as it's quite a fun experience!

Also can't wait until my parents come up again because they're desperate to try Japanese and I'd be more than happy to take them here. I'm looking forward to trying some of the noodle dishes in the future too!

I'm a big fan of Sushi and was excited to hear Sakushi was opening.

After going for lunch today, I will definitely be going back! As my main sushi restaurant to compare to is Yo Sushi, Sakushi definitely has a higher quality of food than I've experienced with Yo and I was pleased to find the prices lower and the interior better too.

The waiter was very friendly and helpful and is a credit to the restaurant, I didn't get his name but I think he was the only one waiting on customers today.

We just picked dishes off the conveyor belt and next time will try ordering some items off the menu. I'm not sure what we had, but it was all very nice and fresh. Although the prices are reasonable the quality is definitely above average, which is very important where raw fish is concerned!

I've only had small sushi dishes at Wasabisabi so couldn't really compare them fairly, but would say they both have high standards, although Sakushi definitely has the better location and also a nicer interior, with it being new and all.

Went there last night, the food was fantastic and pretty authentic.
The bill came as a very nasty surprise though, you really need to keep track of how many plates you get because you don't get much on a plate and they soon add up.

I know what you mean we were in last night, perhaps not a nasty surprise but probably more than I expected.
This place isn't really a Saturday night out sort of place more a quick snack.
our timing going in was a bit unfortunate, they were nearly empty then two or three parties followed us in, hence the offering on the conveyor was a bit sparce. What was there looked as if it had been circling for a while, a bit like a suitcase on the luggage belt at heathrow. When ever something new came out it was set upon. We ended up ordering our raw stuff directly from the Kitchen. Clue for next time sit at the conveyor next to the kitchen.
Having said that the food was excellent, and the staff gave just enough attention.
One strange thing, the chinese tea brought to the table in the little tea cups, which were then whisked away to refill. If we can't be trusted with a pot of our own, then someone should be circling with a pot, it was a bit odd having to grab the waiters attention for something so minor. I normally drink 5 or 6 cups after a chinese, this wasn't really possible.
My next visit will be at a lunch time. These sort of places, a bit like buffets, work best when they are full and the kitchen can turn out fresh food quickly.
All in all very good.

My first post and a very happy one. I also went last night and i thought the food was amazing and the service A***. I agree that the conveyorbelt could of been more full but i was told that they dont put items like sashimi out so it is fresh when served, which makes perfect sense to me. I also felt the atmosphere was really relaxed and i could of spent longer there. I agree that most of these places are best for a light lunch but this felt like an exception as the food was so good.

Price! very very resonable in my opinion i had around 8-10 plates (mainly nigiri) plus drinks and it was less than £30. I must of eaten the aquivelant of 4 courses so i cant complain. I guess it depends on how much you value food? if you want quality you have to pay for it. Portion size was good, i have been to YO! and you get a sliver of fish on a mound of rice. Sakushi you get a chunk of fish that will cover the rice (the Japanese way)

loved it! will be going back very soon

I think it's okay if you've not been to a restaurant before. If it's not busy the staff will be very helpful about what everything is, but at the moment there is no take away (one of the best things about being in canada was the sushi everywhere and all doing take away bento boxes).

I went with some friends last night. Got there: great decor, nice funky new place. I know it's not been open long, but if the manager sorts the staff out, this place is going to be ever popular - especially across from the Wig and Pen: prime location for lunch times too!

The waiter needed a good slap to wake him up as he had us standing abut getting all confused, he didn't have any enthusiasm or experience imo, he was a let down to the place. The head manager was very nice and helpful though.

Our friends were already sat on one of the booths so we joined them, and picked sushi off the belt going past. We had allsorts of things inc sashimi: quality of food was excellent!! We ordered seafood soba noodles and the beef ones too; both of which were no greasy, full of flavour and absolutely yummy!!

The bill came to £107 which wasn't too bad for 4 adults, + 4 beers and 4 glasses of white.

All in all food, place was fab but the waiter needs sacking: he didn't know how to greet us, nor did he come over to remove all the empty glasses and bottles we had piled up on the table, we had to ask for a bowl for the soupy noodles and when we said can we have 'some' bowls; he brought ONE :loopy:

So, if Sakushi was to get rid of the dippy waiter, then the place would have my 100% backing and repeat business. if it were to fill up the atmosphere would be great.
They also need to get some glass over where the kitchen is you can see right through and it's clean but an oldish building out of the new modern decor; this did put me off a bit. The kitchen could be see through but not as exposed: this would better.

Waiters/waitresses; if you are good, helpful and polite etc..... get down to Sakushi and say you've heard they need a new one as I wanna go back but not with Dippy Dan as the waiter!!!!

It depends on your perspective. It's a lot for rubbish even if £34 is not a significant amount to you. If you pay it for a meal and remember every morsel for months afterwards it's probably good value even if it represents more than half your weekly food allowance.

I've never seen a restaurant get so many positive comments on here so I'm off to look in the diary and pencil a date in.

It's pretty good. It costs more than M&S, but you get significantly more and better quality sushi in your pack.

That said, I've spent a week in NYC recently, and sushi there is priced like McDonalds burgers, I know it's a different market, but it makes it difficult to spend £6.50 on a lunch box that would have bought a whole meal over there.

I noticed that review had been removed too, the accusation made in it was pretty serious though and different from just expressing a negative opinion I suppose.

It did strike a chord with me though because when I went a couple of weeks ago our food wasn't as good as the previous few times when I'd been. I noticed all the staff were different and it was the first time I'd been when the guy I'd assumed was the manager and the Japanese chef weren't there. Hope it was just a one-off because the 3 or 4 time I'd been before had been excellent.

I went monday to try it out... its fun (love the conveyor belt novelty value!) but not the best sushi in town. Alot of the sushi was way too big (so really difficult to eat without making a mess!) and some of it was loosely rolled. Not as varied as Wasabsabi either.

I'm waiting for Yo Sushi to arrive, every other big city in the UK has one, I emailed head office this week and they're hoping to find a site in Sheffield in 2009. I still think Wasabisabi has better sushi than Yo Sushi but I think Yo Sushi is cool and I would go alot if there was one in town.

I've not tried the little one on london road or east ocean, Wasabisabi is my favourite so far tho.

Fair enough Yo Sushi is a chain but I think the sushi is nice and I like the conveyor belt style of eating.

I used to be really against chain restaurants and would avoid them like the plague but having had some pretty decent meals in classier chain restaurants recently I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.

I've eaten in the Yo Sushi in St Pancras, the one in Manchester and the Itsu in Canary Wharf, the quality of sushi was comparable at all of these and Sakushi, the service however is far better at Sakushi (or so I've found), and the price is definitely cheaper.
I've also eaten in a restaurant called Tajima-Tei in London http://www.tajima-tei.co.uk/ - this is by far the best of all the sushi I've had in the UK.
That said, you can find perfectly good sushi in the states and pay McDonalds prices for it.

These are the plate prices for YS
£1.70 £2.20 £2.70
£3.20 £3.70 £5.00

Maybe someone can post the prices for sakushi?

grub_lover
22-11-2008, 02:28 PM
This winds me up. Yo sushi does not compare to Sakushi on a Japanese level. You have different styles of sushi everywhere you go, Japanese, Chinese, American etc.... I lived in Japan for 6 years and it tastes just the same. If you prefer the likes of yo that is fine but you cannot say it is better you can only say you prefer their style of sushi which is very western.
I met my girlfriend when I was over there and she is Japanese threw and threw and she loved it and said it reminded her of home. I didn’t get this reaction when i took her to wasabisabi although we do like it there. Again I’m no expert but i trust my girlfriend to know Japanese.
What also concerns me about Yo is my nephew’s friend is working at yo and is cooking and serving sushi. Again i have no problem with this, you do not have to be Japanese to do sushi but his previous job was at mcdonalds and he has been at yo less than a month. Not only that the head chef is polish and he said she had only been there a year!!!
As far as price is concerned cyclone reminds me of how much of a con YO sushi is. Yes they have a £1.70 plate but do you ever see it? I just looked at their current menu and the average iso roll is £3.20 to £3.70. So they might as well just have 2 or 3 plates. I can’t remember the prices of sakushi but i know the most expensive plate was £3.80 and that included sides like chicken gyoza which you will find are £5 plus anywhere else and also the hamachi sashimi is £3.80, very good value in my eyes.
Yes i thought Sakushi was fantastic! But its more pipines comments about yo being better that makes me and my girlfriend laugh. Better is so vague, yes im new to sf but come on! Is it a better Japanese noooooooo way. Stick to Wasabisabi, sakushi or where eve else.

I've never been to Japan so I can't say which is more authentic, all I can comment on is which sushi I liked best. I think Wasabisabi sushi is more varied, better presented, and tastes fresher than Yo or Sakushi (obviously as its not been sat on a conveyor belt for 10 mins).

I love the styling of Yo Sushi and price isn't too bad I don't think. I'm not going to quibble over a couple of quid here or there cos my bill overall is never that much. I think its a fun way to eat sushi and their sushi is pretty nice.

I was just disappointed in the sushi in sakushi.. maybe its common practise to have massive sushi in Japan, but i thought it was too big to eat comfortably and I wasnt that impressed with the 5 or 6 dishes I tried. I think Yo and Wasabiabi do it better.. maybe I caught them on a bad nite.

I was just disappointed in the sushi in sakushi.. maybe its common practise to have massive sushi in Japan, but i thought it was too big to eat comfortably and I wasnt that impressed with the 5 or 6 dishes I tried. I think Yo and Wasabiabi do it better.. maybe I caught them on a bad nite.

I thought Sakushi was fantastic first couple of times. However, I took some friends Friday night last week and was dissappointed. The food was generally fine, though we ordered the salmon roe and it had lost a lot of its vibrant colour and was actually a little slimey.

I hope the place survives and I would still go back. In a centre of bland restaurants it deserves to do well.

We went to sakushi on monday night with a couple of friends. My partner eats a lot of sushi, whereas myself and the other couple are pretty much amateurs. We had an awesome night and the food was absolutely amazing.
I can recommend monday night as a good night to go and try sushi for the first time, 5 dishes for £10.95 is pretty cheap as I have been informed. Me and my gf shared so we managed to taste 10 different dishes.

I only joined Sheffield Forum to sing Sakushi's praises because I feared that others may not be aware of it as it is slightly tooked away on campo lane.

We will definately be going back soon, and I will be recommending it to all of my friends.

I went to Sakushi recently. It's an OK place but their sushis are not so great. However, their chicken kushikatsu (deep fried bread crumb-coated skewered chicken), kaisoh (seaweed) salad etc were quite delicious. It's a Kulu-kulu (or Kuru-kuru, as they say in Japan) style sushi after all that one should not expect anything more that, I suppose.

I was in the Yo Sushi at Victoria Station on Tuesday, and it was rubbish. The gyoza were burnt crispy, tea was cold, and service was exceptionally poor, even though there was hardly anybody in.

Teriyaki salmon was nice, everything else we had was poor or worse. Wouldn't darken their doors again.

Hi grub lover,

Been to Sakushi a few times with my wife and alone, I like it - much better than Yo Sushi IMHO. I also like Wasabisabi, which is my prefered choice, but I have no qualms over eating at Sakushi and see it and Wasabisabi in different categories - complementary rather than competing.

You have to try Yama Sushi on near the bottom of London Road. You can actually see the fish before its cut thru the chiller and got a great range of Japanese beers. Not expensive and the staff are friendly and helpful. Worth a go!

Wasn't impressed when we tried Yama Sushi, but each to their own; nothing wrong with it, but way behind Wasabisabi.

i have eaten sushi in Japan, HK, NYC, Brussells and London and have to say that the nigiri and maki rolls offered by Sakushi is the SMALLEST i have ever seen by far.

Probably about 75% of the size of wasasbisabi and not even 50% of what you would get in a good Tokyo kaiten.

This is very sly of Sakushi imo as you need to buy more dishes to feel like you have eaten anything.

After all, if you exclude the fish, the ingredients are not that expensive (rice, cucumber, nori etc).

Having said that, the set up and food is nice but the portions are way way smaller than other sushi places.

hey ultracynic, i think your getting confussed between futomaki and maki. maki are small and futomaki are large. i would say they are standard size and very authentic. the nigiri when i went was larger than wasabisabi by a mile so i dont get what your saying. When i lived in Japan it is the same as UK you get some places that offer rediculous portions and some that offer less. Would deffinatley say it is as authentic as Japan.
And your saying just rice? sushi rice isnt the same as you get from tesco and in Japan the sushi is more expensive.

going again this weekednd cant wait!!

no confusion. the maki rolls i had in sakushi are definitely smaller than the same thing i have had elsewhere. same goes for the nigiri. i went soon after opening so maybe they have changed things now.

obviously i was implying sushi rice.

as for japan, you can pay alot for sushi in restauarants but in kaiten places similar to sakushi most of the plates were under 500 yen each (not as cheap now with exchange rate but it was over 200 jpy to the pound last time i was there).

don't get me wrong, sakushi is ok but nothing more though it is much better than yo sushi (joke sushi).

I went for dinner after work in Sakushi with Mum when she was up last week.

I thought the food was delish! :)

We had dumplings, noodles, prawny things, things off the conveyor belt... Bit of a selection and it was great (even for a fuss pot like me! :hihi:)

Very friendly and polite staff, will definately be making a trip back soon! (Just need to convince the OH that not all sushi tastes like the stuff you get in Tescos!!

We'd gone quite early, so there was only the two of us in there, but I'm sure it would be great when it's busy :thumbsup:

My friends and I really want to go to a sushi class, however, I think that price is a bit steep.
