Disappointed in our experience today. Took my mom for a belated birthday lunch. We always order a few starters to share. Our gyoza came out cold, took about 10-15 min to get the attention of our waitress to let her know. The replacement came out luke warm. Not sure if they’re being cooked from frozen and not thoroughly warmed up or sitting in a warmer tray? The chicken karage was the smallest portion ever. Normally at other sushi restaurants there’s enough that we end up having left overs, at Sakura the portion was barely a measuring cup worth and it had no sauce on it but came with a mayo to dip, ultimately tastes like KFC popcorn chicken, not proper chicken karage. We also had the yam&prawn tempura which was good and the gomae which was also good.
There was also no change table in their extremely poorly laid out bathroom. Had to change my 7mth olds diaper on the seat at the table (I have a change pad that folds out of my diaper bag so don’t worry he wasn’t bare bummed on the seat)
Great little sushi place! Visited back in Summer and had a great meal. Polite staff at the counter for takeout, and quick prep from ordering to pickup right on time. Sushi itself was nice and flavourful, and the sashimi was top notch. Looking forward to coming back to Cranbrook and stopping in!
The food at Sakura is always excellent and fresh, with that authentic Japanese umami flavor we truly enjoy. My family and I love dining here regularly because of the consistently great quality of the dishes.
However, we’ve noticed that each time we dine in, the service towards us feels noticeably different compared to how the servers interact with local guests. We’re not sure why, but it does make us feel uncomfortable. On one occasion, a server accidentally spilled juice over my husband and placed the soy sauce on the table quite abruptly, it spilled over the table. Tonight, we also felt the same unwelcoming attitude — the server was very accommodating to other tables but seemed dismissive toward us, even dropping the receipt on the table rather than handing it politely.
We truly hope the management provides training to ensure that all guests are treated equally and with kindness, regardless of background and ethnicity. We all come to enjoy great food and deserve the same level of respect and hospitality.

I’ve eaten here several times now, usually a month or more apart (with the exception of my birthday, when I came for both lunch and dinner!). Each visit has been consistently excellent. I’ve often had the same server, who is always an absolute delight and makes the experience even better. The service overall has been nothing short of amazing. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and delicious, with great vegetarian options that I really appreciate. The only time I experienced slower service was when the place was packed with not a single empty seat, which is understandable. The only small downside is that they don’t take reservations for smaller groups, which can make planning a little tricky—but it definitely won’t stop me from coming back. This is one of my favorite spots, and I’ll continue to support it wholeheartedly.
Really nice place and good food

Not sure if we will return or not to try again.
