BEST SUSHI PLACE EVER!!!We have made this our regular go to sushi place, as having tried a lot of different restaurants, this is by far one of the best tasting and quality sushi places we have found. Just wish I lived around the corner so I could go even more often!They have brown rice and black rice options which not many places provide. The price is very reasonable for the quality you get is amazing. Very fresh ingredients, super friendly staff who always welcome us with a smile.Being pregnant and vegetarian, I feel super safe coming here to eat as they are always cautious with not mixing the raw fish preparation tools with my order.100% would recommend and I'm going to always use this as my go-to Japanese food!!
Descent experience , the Salmon oshi was very good !Service was excellent! Nathan was our server, he was amazing, friendly,always smile , recommend us Ichiban roll, very tasty and Seafood salad, was very fresh ! The restaurant look very traditional and clean! So try it out guys, it’s upstair, you’ll enjoy this descent restaurant!
ありがとう !!I have only ever given one 5-star review for Sushi in Van and this joint has topped my ultimate list. This sushi joint is da bomb! Absolutely awesome and im coming here every time that I'm in this area of town, period. It's my new almighty favorite for sure and best/most authentic Sushi I have eaten outside of Japan. I feel blessed to have discovered this absolute gem.First of all, a real nice cozy and authentic dig with a great laidback vibe. I love the decor, they've transformed this place into a super cute homey-feel and a happy lucky charm with Lush greenery and contemporary minimalistic wooden features with soft lighting. I love being able to sit near the sushi chef and just awe at his incredible talents.The food... Oh my gosh, there is nothing justifiable to how super yummy the grub is. Sushi rolls are huge, big fat stuffed rolls with perfect balance and consistency of wholesome fresh fillings throughout with soft and chewy texture as it should be. Make sure to take advantage of their Brown and Black Rice offerings to mix things up and tasted great. I'd recommend Brown rice with my all time favorite of Crunchy Yam Roll! The menu has some gnarly and quirky options with a ton of great vegetarian optionsThe staff were also super accommodating and even prepared our delicious food in a separate area after we mentioned my wife was pregnant in aid to prevent cross contamination. They are all super friendly, approachable, extremely talented and professional. They make the most delicious food efficiently and accurately with 5 star service.I'd recommend this place to absolutely anyone and would happily come here every day to taste everything on their menu.Support local business!!アダム
Fresh sashimi and generous portion! Our host/server Nathan is friendly and pleasant. Have not had a good (not too sweet, perfect taste) Katsu Don for a while. So glad we found this place, will be back often.
If I could give 6 stars, I would.I went for a date night with my bf the other night and Nathan was our server. Nathan was freaking awesome. He recommended the best sushi for us and took the time the educate us about Japanese culture as we explored the menu. On top of that, all the food we ate was so delicious. This is my fav sushi place on the North Shore! I defs recommend going :)
One of the best Japanese food I've so far :) very traditional Japanese style
This was my 1st visit at Sakura Ichiban. I always wanted to visit but never really had the opportunity but decided to go today. I ordered Nabiyaki Udon. I wanted something comforting and hot. The restaurant was a tad on the cold side btw. The quality of the food was quite good. The chicken pieces were tender and tasty. The breading was just right and not too thick or greasy. I hate when the breading is thicker than the actual chicken meat but this was not the case. The tempura pieces were fresh tasting and not too heavy. Udon noodles were al dente but I personally would have liked an extra minute of cooking time. The meal was tasty and satisfying. My server was prompt and my food arrived swiftly. I was given complimentary hot tea which is a bonus! I will definitely be back for more! Sorry I didn't take any photos as I started my lunch late. I have to prioritize eating over food pics. Lol
A nice restaurant on the second floor in an easily accessible area. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the decor was comfortable.
The sushi here is awesome! We order the Volcano special roll and it was incredible. The service is also great. 10 out of 10 would recommend this restaurant!
Good service and delicious food.
