Customer Reviews

"I've driven by the plaza where Sakura is located countless times, but only recently decided to stop in--and I'm glad I did! I've dined in once and ordered takeout a few times since my initial visit. The vegetables are surprisingly flavorful and pair perfectly with simple steamed rice. The teriyaki beef is delicious, hearty, and really hits the spot, and I also loved the yakisoba. The restaurant itself has a pleasant, welcoming atmosphere, and the dine-in service was quick and efficient. Takeout was just as tasty, though there is a short wait for someone to come to the counter so I could pay. On the only occasion where I ordered the soup for take out leaked a bit in the bag, but it didn't take away from how good everything tasted. Overall, Sakura is a great spot with consistently delicious food--I'll definitely be coming back!"

"A best kept secret in my opinion! Huge sushi menu and if you're not a sushi fan I recommend the Razorback, which is hot & cooked with fish inside. Sushi for non sushi people. But the menu is extensive so everyone should be able to find something I think! The staff is nice and it's a fun vibe. Not too fancy but a little bit of charm. It's become a regular for us!"

"Excellent! Loved it, unassuming place was doubtful of quality when we arrived due to not a very busy area! Food was fantastic glad we went, great amount of food for price, we had 3- 2 choice bento boxes, 2 Japanese sodas, 2 appetizers and 3 mixed drinks every thing was spectacular, so many choices, loved the decor and wait staff, still hunger for the crab and scallop cakes!! Absolutely to die for"

"I love sushi and was in town and it was recommended by friends so wanted to try it out. The place is nice, seemed pretty clean, and the service was nice as well. Ordered a 3-sushi roll Bento Box that came with additional sides. Everything tasted pretty good. A few of the items were a little colder than I would expect, but overall the flavor was still pretty good. Not as good as some other sushi places that I have been to that are in the same price range, but overall it was still pretty good, and I wouldn't mind coming back."

"I recently visited Sakura Sushi & Grill and ordered the General Chicken along with the Spicy Chicken appetizer. Both dishes were delicious--the Spicy Chicken came out as crispy, crunchy strips with just the right amount of heat, and the General Chicken had a great balance of flavor and texture. At first, I thought the menu prices seemed a little high, but once the food arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes. I had more than enough to enjoy another full meal the next day, which made it a great value in the end. Overall, the quality, flavor, and generous servings really made this a standout spot."

"This is the best place in town for upscale Japanese cuisine. The atmosphere is amazing and the food is INCREDIBLE. My fiance was stuck on the Japanese Steakhouse for a long time until I took her here. I had been telling her how amazing it was for awhile and at the end of our meal she was hooked. She said she does not want to go anywhere else from now on. The service was also exceptional, our waitress was on top of everything and made sure she checked on us frequently. If you have not tried this place then you are missing out! If you are reading my review and decide to give it a try, please come back and let me know how good you think it is. You WILL NOT be disappointed I promise!!!"
