Sakura Southampton Japanese Restaurant

The sushi is significantly better than the Ramen, clean tasting salmon and large nigiri. The ramen tastes like your grans chicken soup and no tare or aromatics, desperate for some umami notes. The service was rushed and the card machine was thrust into my hands with the prompt to "press green, continue" or words to that effect, this was a prompt to add a tip to the bill. I feel that to the tech illiterate this is a scary proposal that ends up in forced tipping. If zero stars were possible I'd rate it so. The decor is ok. The tables are a generous size.

The restaurant looks very nice, but the staff was very rude to us and other diners, speaking in a very irritated and commanding manner, with accompanying body language. The food seemed like it came from a normally good cook, but it was clearly rushed. May be better on a very calm day when staff can be bothered to not treat customers like misbehaving children.
