Good food my favorite place to eat Sushi

Worst sushi place I ever been. All the fish on sushi smelled old and no flavor at all. Presentation looked good that's all. We also ordered mussels and the were already so bad my friend felt sick to his stomach. Please avoid this restaurant.

The food was really not that great. Did not seem very sanitary either with food lying out for what seemed like a while. Go at your own risk. The staff earned that second star they were cool.

EVERY single roll is the exact same interior - imitation crab, heavy cream cheese and a lot of rice. They differentiate the rolls only by a very thin piece sashimi across the top - so if you order an eel roll / the inside is still imitation crab and heavy cream cheese with a small strip of unagi on top. We ordered a shrimp tempura roll. Zero shrimp in the roll - only imitation crab and heavy cream cheese with rice - they cut one tempura shrimp in half and placed one in each end to give the appearance of shrimp tempura. Inside the tempura (only one) was a dried small shrimp). We ordered 4 different rolls and they had the exact same filling - not real sushi at all. Was bland, filler food, not sushi. Sashimi was slightly better but slabs of stringy fish vs thinly cut quality fish, not quality food at all. Several of us didn’t feel well later, fish most likely not fresh, had turned. Save your $$ and your stomach. Was worst sushi we ever ate.

**Reviews seem to trend towards the flavors here being STALE, quality is SUBPAR and customer service is LESS THAN DESIRED. This place has proved to me that the reviews are FACT!!!**** Baked stuff tastes grilled. Salmon shouldnt taste like burned chicken**Lets just say this place serves food that passes for sushi. If you want to taste sushi, definitely try this place out. If you are looking for a Sushi experience with authentic flavor and the real deal, you will have to travel a bit further for that cause this aint it. But if you have a craving for something like Sushi and you're too lazy to try to make it at home, this is your spot. Also, check to see that your canned and bottled beverages arent expired. If the drinks have past the expiration date, GOD only knows what other stuff is stale and expired.

Sushi was edible not very tasty. Jalapeño bombs were good. Volcano was good. They sent over 3 miso soups that was nice of them. Pretty massive California rolls, my son enjoyed. Quick delivery ?

Avoid at all costs. I would guve this place 0 stars if it were possible. Let me go ahead and break down the whole expirience.Service:The waiters were extremely nice and came around often to see if we needed anything. Our first waiter failed to put in our initial sashimi platter order which was fine, we didn't mind it.Food:I don't think I've had worse sushi. We ordered the Philly roll, and additional roll which I can't remember the name of, along with the 12 piece sashimi platter. The rolls were okay in terms of rice and the filling but lacked flavor. The salmon was kinda warm which is odd for a fresh roll. The same applies to the other roll.We ordered the 12 piece sashimi plastered but got served and charged for the 30 piece one. My partner and I were extremely confused given the fact that 2 different waiters asked and verified the 12 piece on 2 separate occasions.The salmon was flavorless along with the yellow tail. The tuna was somewhat frozen in the middle as if it was still thawing. It also had an extreme fishy taste (like when fish is starting to go bad). We ended up eating about half and leaving the rest to go to the trash.I know the platter came with a salad and soup. The salad was probably the best part of the meal and we never got our soup but after the rest of the food was served, we didn't think it would be worth it to stay and wait.

The waiters Lazzy and poor customer service not even say Hi! Welcome to Sakura. And unfriendly. Just they want the tip $$$. Customer aproch to order food to go and was waiting for so lo g and not boda said nothing and walk off and the waiters Lol. About customers. So sad :'( The Food is Very Delicious the Best in Town. Thanks to the Chef's and Kitchen Guys. I hope have waiters with work experiencia in Japannese Food. ''Hi Arigato". I 'l Be Back for the sushi n sahimi the katsu. And for my Hot sake n my Saporo. See u soon Oskarasama.

Very generous servings! Rolls are huge and great quality! They desperately need staffing, so if anyone needs a job

Great place. Came here as employees of the hotel we were staying at recommended it. I’m used to sushi in dallas which is very good but this was a different level of fresh. Color in the tuna was amazing as well as taste. Small quite nice Resturaunt to visit. If back in California again I could see us going backAlso pricing is very reasonable for quality of food you get.
