I ate here recently. Excellent service and staff. The prices are insane for the quality of sushi you get. Super fishy smell and taste on multiple rolls. If you think this place has good sushi you need to seriously check out other places. Will never eat here again. Canned tuna with mayo and sweet relish is better.

The food here is WAY OVERPRICED considering the quality. For 3 people. I walked out of there paying $151 for the food and nearly a $30 tip.

Portion sizes are small as well. I was shocked to receive a fruit salad as the house salad. It was good but not very Japanese in my opinion.

Here's what my table ordered:

Spicy edamame
House salad
Cucumber salad
Coke
Diet coke
Teriyaki chicken combo with tempura
California roll
Rainbow roll

- Spicy edamame was good but small portion and really oily
- House salad was a fruit salad with a sweet creamy dressing
- Cucumber salad was cut thick and bland
- Teriyaki chicken and tempura were good but small portion size
- California roll made with fresh crab which was nice but the rice - on it was mushy
- Rainbow roll was decent with fresh fish

What struck me is that the teriyaki chicken combo was so expensive. I think it was somewhere between $37 and $42 for a dinner portion that wasn't that big. There's a Japanese place that's smaller and more quaint within in walking distance that's 3x cheaper and much better in my opinion.

Inside was clean and nice but it was hard to understand the waitress because she spoke really fast. Also the man behind the sushi bar was super loud.

Will I be back? Nope. The cost is for the service and food quality just makes no sense.

Me, my mom, and her childhood best friend went to this place the other day. Fantastic FRESH food, REAL wasabi, authentic and fantastic human beings in there, the owner is incredibly lovely. Some of the best Japanese food we have ever had. Thank you! And God bless you.

Ever since my favorite sushi restaurant near me closed, I have been in despair. But tonight, I saw the light, and it's name is Sakura. All is well with the world again. The Chirashi bowl is the best one I've had around here and they had some great nigiri and cheesecake!

The entry process here is still a holdover from covid, but the staff is gracious and welcoming. I particularly enjoy the sashimi - good quality and well prepared. Last time I was in, they were showcasing a new winemaker from Napa. I don't typically get wine, but I really enjoyed that chardonnay.

The staff are all friendly and the fish is high quality, especially the nigiri.

The food is pretty average.....however based on the price you'd definitely be better off going somewhere else
