Delicious casual sushi. No wait if you go before 6 pm. And Flavio on the grill 10/10.

I'm so glad I gave this place a second chance. I ordered take out from here a few years ago and the order was all wrong, items were missing and the sushi just wasn't good. We called and spoke to the owner & to his credit, he did offer to buy our dinner if we came back but we never did because we didn't like the sushi the first time around. But on a recent visit to Ojai, a friend wanted sushi and the options in Ojai are limited. Not feeling like driving down to Ventura or Oxnard, I decided to give Sakura another shot. Any restaurant can have an off night. The sushi was fresh, delicious & beautifully presented. The service started out strong but got REALLY weak once they got a little busy. I waited 20 min when we were done to ask for a check & a box but our server had vanished so I had to get up & hunt someone down so we could pay & leave. It's Saturday night, staff up! But overall a good experience. Here's to 2nd chances!

Just gross. I’ve had better grocery store sushi. Maybe the Korean food on the menu is better. I don’t know because I just wanted sushi. This stuff came out way too fast, like it was already made and in the refrigerator. The waitress didn’t check on us once and just dropped the check on the table without asking if we wanted anything else. I’m attaching a picture of the seriously weak maguro sushi flipped over. If you know sushi, you know this isn’t right. Super lame. Update: I just violently threw it all up. Hopefully, I don’t have knarly food poisoning!

I went to Sakura in Ojai on a Sunday night. The spicy edamame were very delicious and seasoned with fresh garlic. The sushi is well made and the ingredients are extremely fresh. They have a large variety of interesting rolls to choose from. They have a sushi bar for people also. I will definitely be back again!
Vegetarian options: The menu has a vegetarian section.
Kid-friendliness: Nice atmosphere for families.
Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs to get to restaurant.

I've only done take out but it's great food for the prices. Nice people
Udon soup is not that spectacular comparing to other popular udon restaurants out there ?. that we had eaten. We came to celebrate our son exact 21st b-day. He liked to have Japanese meal for his special day. This was our first time trying out this restaurant.. Make sure you inspect your food ingredients in the soup before eating. Udon noodles were missing when waitress brought out the soup. Only vegetables . We had to send back. Washington roll is not available on the menu ; So we substitute with other rolls. Other rolls were okWe rode over 2hrs to get here due to bad thanksgiving traffic ?.lol ?.
Vegetarian options: The vegetables roll we ordered was missing ingredients so we didn't mind to substitute other ingredients but it's ok???

Tasty! Came here on a Saturday for lunch. Everything was delicious. The sear and flavor of the white tiger roll was *chefs kiss!* The sauce for the raw oysters complemented the dish well. Attentive servers and awesome food.

Knew the original owners. They did a fantastic job building clientel, food excellent and portion sizes larger than similar restaurants. New owners reduced portion size, but the food is still worth the trip. If they read these reviews I would suggest reducing the price. I dine out frequently, but don’t normally give reviews. $15 per entree is too high when at least in my family we order more than one roll for a meal. It’s not overpriced on quality, but overpriced on portion size. That said, we consider this a go-to restaurant.

We ordered takeout, so used the online menu. It didn't seem like there were a lot of different rolls, or sushi/sashimi options to select. The food was okay, but not really noteworthy.
