Literally never had a bad experience here. The rare time they've messed up an order, they immediately and graciously fixed it and even copped me free sushi. The interior is clean and cozy and staff is polite and professional while still having a sense of humor. I'd even say that, for the quality, food is very agreeably priced and portions are fair and delicious.A favorite date night spot for going on many years and the favorite of multiple girlfriends.

I am truly impressed with this restaurant. The environment and food is unique of its own. Not only was the food premium and delicious, but its environment was extremely clean. The individuals who provided service was extremely polite and well attentive. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, and will continue to visit!

Had some great tempura and sushi with friends. Check them out!

I kid you not. I didn't like sushi until I came here. I remember the first roll I had was simply a tuna maki roll. The tuna was so smooth, melt-in-your-mouth delicious! And then there's the time I first tried negimayaki. The most savory and addicting beef dish I've ever had. It's so simple with beef wrapped around green onion and covered in this wonderful brown sauce, but I literally started audibly going "Mmmmm". Everything I've had here has been incredible and satisfying. From fried tofu, to tonkatsu this place will not disappoint. A local gem of a restaurant. If you have the chance, you HAVE to eat here.

One of the best sushi restaurant I've been to. Very fresh fish/seafood made fresh every time with fresh ginger and fresh wasabi with good soy sauce. Really enjoyed eating here will definitely visit again. Fresh green tea also. Lots of variety for everything.

Very clean and very reasonably priced. Not a lot of Sushi items but great for other Japanese dishes. The little sushi that they have on menu is also great and simple.

This was the best sushi I’ve ever had!! Also, the owner and everyone else there were so extremely kind and genuinely cared about providing a great experience. If I could give it more than five stars, I would.

I've been eating at Sakura over 2 decades. One comment is tempura has no flavor - dipping sauce compliments and give the tempura flavor. Shrimp, vegetables has flavors. Another comment is price, thanks to pandemic, our food prices has gone up, business to stay afloat needs to keep up with prices. Please continue to support their business. Owner is very honest and I hope to go there tomorrow !

I’m not normally one to write reviews but my first time here was so great and I was very impressed with the service, food, and cleanliness of this restaurant! It was exceptional!the menu is a little hard to understand our server answered all of our questions with great detail! The tuna was very fresh and red and the house made teriyaki was delish!! As someone who has worked in restaurants for 10 years this was one of the cleanest ones I’ve ever seen and the dishes were very pretty.On top of all that it was a very welcoming atmosphere the front of house and back of house were all very friendly to us! Will definitely visit Sakura again

You can definitely tell you are getting ripped off with take out. The portion sizes are embarrassing, especially for the prices. Imagine your average take-out container with a big section and two small ones. Taking up a small section is the protein (aka what you pay 13$ for), then another one is taken up by some cabbage salad (seems like an extra waste when they give you a bix of lettuce/salad anyways), and then the big section has 3 soggy shrimp and limp veggies. Not to mention anything fried is also soggy.
