I picked up sushi here a month or so ago, the fish tasted and smelled very fishy. It looked old and the cuts were far too thick, and had unusual chewy texture. I ended up throwing it away after one bite. $45 of sushi in the garbage. Would never come back
Easily my favorite resturant in Wichita. That is saying a lot considering how many great places there are! The sashimi is carefully prepared and well plated, the garlic edemame is delectable, and the 5 spice ramen is the best bowl of ramen I have ever had. It has seriously raised the bar to unobtainable levels.The staff's dedication to the resturant is to be admired and respected. For as long as I can remember, I have been helped by the same people. I will never miss the chance to come in whenever I am in town.
Was a great experience. Food was delicious. Staff was super friendly. I will definitely be returning to try something else on the menu.
I can’t give any business a one-star, but this is the ONLY sushi restaurant I’ve ever been to where I left half of my sushi. Cold, wet rice, funky tasting mayo, and tasteless salmon. The wait staff was fine, but it took almost 45 minutes to get two rolls & a bowl of ramen. 15 minutes before they closed.Sorry Sakura. Please step up your sushi game. Potential patrons: please go two stores down and get some ramen.
Sakura (original Harry and Rock location) has a soft spot in my heart because it's the first place I ever tried sushi and grew to love it.There are many options to choose from: sushi, noodle dishes, fried rice and what I enjoy the most, the ramen.Their ramen is delicious! I always get the Tonkatsu Curry Ramen. Their perfectly cooked soft boiled eggs and charred pork belly is so tasty! The spicy broth is very flavorful and has a complexity that sets theirs apart from many other restaurants I've tried. The food is always consistent which all diners can appreciate.I also add a tuna or salmon temaki or any of their specialty rolls to enjoy with the ramen.There is only one chef and one front of the house, so the wait will be longer. They are still social distancing with tables which limits capacity. You'll need to arrive we'll before closing time because you may get turned away because the tables are full. The lady who runs the front of the house works very hard and is attentive to the customers needs and ensures they have plenty of water.Price is comparable to other Japanese or sushi restaurants in Wichita. Definitely give them a try!
They have zero compassion for people’s schedules. We traveled 30 minutes and got there in time to enjoy lunch. But they sent us away, saying they were closed to any orders, (we arrived AT LEAST 30 minutes before their posted closing time and they had open spaces). They were flippant about it. This afternoon we tried again. Drove 30 minutes.. again. Now they’re just not open. They have a sign posted on their door that says they are closed and reopening on March 1. Today is March 2 and they are not open. WHAT?? This is beyond frustrating. Not how you treat customers. I hope all is well with them.
There are only two people working here but it is worth the wait. The sushi and sashimi is very good. I hope to try the Ramen soon.
Pretty good. The Yakitori was decent and the steamed buns okay.Service was fantastic, especially considering how understaffed and busy it was
Delicious sushi and great service. Had a few appetizers (Takoyaki and Agadashi) and the deluxe sushi combo B. Happy bellies!
I had the grilled red snapper and some sushi. The sushi was great but the red snapper…..Now, I’ve gotten red snapper from all over the place, some fancy places and some pretty questionable ones. When I say this was the single best plate of food I i’ve had in my entire 30 years on this planet…. I am not remotely exaggerating. I was actually sad when I took the last bite, because it was gone. The closest thing I can relate that to is when Scar dropped Mufasa into the wildebeest stampede during the Lion King. Yeah, big sad. I’ve never tasted something so amazing that every single bite needed to be savored and appreciated. It was absolutely perfect.
