"Having heard good things about this medieval themed restaurant it became quite a disappointing evening. Having made our way past the mix of centuries old looking garb and mannequins reminiscent of a cheap seaside wax works we entered the dining room. For a Saturday night...it was surprisingly empty and the few diners present were wrapped up as it was cold with just a small fan heater on the floor to take the edge off. We could of done with some earmuffs too, not because of the cold, but because of a band practicing in the room below overwhelming the background music of the restaurant. Unfortunately neither of the draft ales were available and had been taken off the menu a few weeks previous due to being unpopular. These are to be replaced by bottled ales but no one had the foresight to get actually get any in stock. And so the food arrived and the portions were huge. A pile of chicken wings for starters which were nice along with some shell on langoustines and prawns which we enjoyed. We all had the Ribeye steak for our main course which were thick cut however having asked for it Medium mine was well done. The accompanying side of chips, salad and various sauces were ok but a lot of food was wasted due to the shear size of the portions. In fairness to the staff they were very apologetic for the problems and looked after us throughout so it’s just a shame that they have presumably been let down by poor management. The bill was fair but there was just too many negatives to persuade us to return."

first, it is a beautiful place with good eating and excellent service. it seems just a bit of a failure, there are very high end food (language, filet steak etc). but with more a pub-type setting. Personally, I think it would benefit from a few. slightly cheaper menu options maybe rump steaks or gammon. really like the environment and the ambiente and would visit again.

Went for a meal with friends we were recommended the lamb shank which was presented beautifully. There is not a huge choice on the menu and is mainly for meat eaters with a couple of fish dishes and one vegetarian option. Prices are above average...but the portion size was good. One slight niggle they only had two desserts available and we shared a chocolate fondant which again was nicely presented. We had an enjoyable evening at this restaurant.

Very unusual slightly spooky decor! Lovely waitress so helpful and polite . The food was amazing presented so beautifully , good portions and DELICIOUS !!! Downside ... hardly any desserts available that were on the menu and considering we booked our table of 11 in...advance this was pretty disappointing . Coffees were unfortunately Luke warm , withdraws have been nice if hotter. We would love to return though as the main meals were well above average !! I hope this restaurant succeeds ,give it a go ! Good for bigger parties of people !

an interesting place, we have become a table of 50 or more for an engagement party. eating was really good, especially the steaks. we all preordered our food. the starters quickly came out relatiw, but we waited a terrible long time for the net, because the table. served as a whole as only two waiting employees. I'm sorry for the only bar person in the service as she worked alone and served drinks cocktails and coffees. the children were served quickly. we had a great night because the company and the food was good, but they need more staff.

It’s very cold in there and was quite empty for a Friday night. Probs only 20 people in there. The staff could not be more attentive and friendly. We asked for some bread to mop up our langoustine sauce and it was no trouble at...all. I would highly recommend this starter if it wasn’t for the fact the mains are HUGE!!! Are mine cos it was so tasty but think I might regret eating all the 20ounce pork tomohawk. My boyfriends was a 16ounce steak but as you can see the size difference is considerable. Feel mixed about whether I’d go back. Weird decoration and uncomfortable seating but good food and amazing staff.

arrived to a dirty entrance with a carpet that could have done definitiw with a deep clean. however they cannot praise the effort to which they had gone to dress the restaurant and the entrance. this meal was for a birthday party at midday and we were offered either with lunch or the main menu. on the pictures, the lunch offer was very reasonable price! the main menu, however, was very expensive to be meat and fish, but there was nothing in between. in the offer menu, a sweet and rice was considered a vegetarian option that is very bad! also here the starter was not vegetarian and was not given otherwise than that was mentioned. again very disappointing. although, for £6.50 the duck soup and...

"I wondered why this restaurant described itself on the board outside as ‘fusion’, why there were so many Korean dishes on the menu and why the serving staff have heard of Asahi beer but haven’t heard of The Asahi Shimbun, a Japanese daily newspaper that is at least 50 years old. The answer is that the Akasaka website isn’t being completely honest when it describes their Northampton branch as a Japanese restaurant. They aren’t really Japanese, although some of their menu items are clearly Japanese. Don’t let that put you off, however, as they are serving excellent food and we enjoyed our meal there very much. It cost us about £70 (inc. 10% tip) for our meal for two people including a 175ml glass of Sauvignon Blanc for my lovely wife and two 330ml bottles of Asahi Dry for me. The sushi was excellent, the edamame beans were great but we didn’t feel that the Dolsot Bibimbap (a Korean dish with loads of rice, some shredded vegetables, prawns and a fried egg on top) offered very good value for money at just under sixteen pounds. We would recommend Akasaka in Northampton and would certainly go there again, but if we want a genuinely Japanese meal, prepared and served by Japanese staff, then we will be sticking to Ginza Restaurant on Wellingborough Road in Northampton. Don’t like the way that the male members of staff at Sakura on Bridge Street speak to their female colleagues, very disrespectful, so we avoid that Japanese restaurant nowadays. Great to have a choice of three Japanese restaurants in Northampton post-pandemic, and our favourite of the three is Ginza."
