Good location. The food was really good and reasonable prices considering the area and the proportion of food. Highly recommended getting the sushi options! We ordered it but forgot to take pictures as we devoured it in seconds! The staffs were incredibly friendly and helpful.
I ordered the miso ramen with chicken, it was so good. If you’re an asian cuisine foodie, you’de love this. And the waiter is nice, everything felt warm and cozy and the food is amazing. 10/10 recommended

Sakuraku Bistro is a fantastic spot for anyone craving Asian food in Budapest. I stumbled upon it by chance, had a quick look through the menu (which is very well organised and concise), and decided to give it a try. The restaurant is incredibly spacious – it even has an upstairs area that feels more intimate – and the staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. I had the yellow curry with rice, tofu, and black mushrooms, along with some avocado maki on the side. The portions were generous, and everything was absolutely delicious. I ended up coming back a couple more times for the sushi during my recent stay in Budapest, which says it all really. Great food, very reasonable prices, and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend. P.S. I hope to see the place completely packed the next time I’m in town – they deserve it.
Amazing food, impressive portion sizes for the price! Staff are very warm and friendly, made the time a lot more memorable. Place has a nice cozy vibe and good prices. My only qualm is the weirdly long wifi password, but thats all I could find to complain about 😄
