Sakura Japanese Cuisine

This staple of the San Ramon food culture is still incredible. The service is fast, friendly, and accurate. The food (appetizers, rolls, and nigiri/sashimi) are fresh, delicious and prepared with care. The location is convenient and there’s plenty of parking. I will continue to happily give this place my business, and if you’re looking for the best sushi place in the whole area, you’ve found it. 10/10 will definitely go again.

Absolutely the best Sushi 🍣 I've had. Great Staff and best service. I'll definitely be back while down here for work

Ronnie-

Friendly service and delicious sushi. Love the plum wine.

Awesome food!

Super friendly staff and outstanding food. wonderful cuisine.

I moved out of the area and miss #1 toro, but not more than the people here. You won’t find better quality or better service anywhere else.

Absolutely amazing sushi spot in San Ramon! LOVE the sashimi and the katsu. Prices are super reasonable for the size and quality - they get a little busy at times but the wait isn’t bad, and the service is very good - attentive and polite. Absolutely recommend this place - it’s one of only two places I will eat sushi.

The staff is extremely friendly, welcoming, and attentive! The miso soup is a must as well as the chicken udon. The ingredients are fresh, and the food is delicious. The atmosphere is pleasant with lots of indoor seating as well as bar seating where you can watch the sushi chefs. Overall, this was a wonderful experience all around, and I would highly recommend it! I Plan to come back soon to try the O-toro!

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.

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.
