I do recommend just off cleanliness and customer service!!! So overall clean, good customer service, and great deal for your buck!!$$$“

“It’s my first time to eat here and we ordered from their kiosk. I wish the kiosk issues a receipt. The food tastes good. We ordered the ramen and hibachi. I like that they have a free miso soup. I’ll be back to try the other items in the menu.“

“Nothing less than phenomenal. Everything was hot, everything was fresh, and everything tasted amazing. Will definitely be coming back whenever in the area. Fairly priced as well...can't beat that.“

“Sexy jalapeño my favorite! If you haven’t tried…… try it!!!“

“The Food Is Outstanding. I Never Had Fast Cooked Hibachi Like This. Today Is My Second Day In A Row Coming In Here For Some Food And I’m Very Pleased With The Food. It’s Not Expensive. Very Affordable and A Great Amount Of Food For The Cost. I Got 3 meals For $50 In My Eyes That’s Great.“

“Great service and great food. Place always is clean. Good portions of food.“

“First time coming here and wow! The broth tastes very authentic and really enjoyed the sushi taco. The seaweed was crispy and wrapped nicely with the food that was inside. They also have udon as an option for noodles but you’ll have to pay extra, not by much though. The atmosphere is also very lovely!“

“There is always someone cleaning the tables and the environment is SO clean and comfortable. Especially the service too, they are so nice and patient with customers. AND the FOOD, it is so DELICIOUS, the portion is really good, they also give out extra sauces without charging extra 😋😋“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sakura Express was absolutely amazing!
The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff was kind, quick, and made the experience even better. Whether you’re craving sushi, hibachi, or a quick bite of something delicious—this place hits the spot every time.
Highly recommend! 🍣🍱🔥

My only complaint is that when my glucose level dropped very low, I asked for a cup so I could get some ice and drink something to raise my sugar. Unfortunately, I never received the cup. As someone living with diabetes, this was not only disappointing but also concerning, since timely support in those moments is very important. I truly hope this can be improved for the safety and care of future guests.”“

“Wow! It was my first, and definitely not my last, Ramen dinner. This place is unassuming, and fast-food-looking. But after that, the servers were helpful. The choices were overwhelming, and took some Google searches to understand. But the second I ordered from the app the delicious food was at my table. The dumplings (Gyoza) were a hit- soft, and tasty. My son had the Salmon Ongiri, a crazy combination of our parent's spam, salmon, an egg between seaweed/rice outside. He raved. Somehow, separately, be both ordered a tankotsu pork broth ramen named Aka Oni Karaka. If you like the umami satisfying taste, this is it. (I took some of the chili spice out and added it a little at a time.) This place is worth the visit.“

“Great sushi spot! The fish is always fresh, the flavors are well-balanced, and everything is prepared really neatly. I order from here often and have tried plenty of other sushi places in the area, but this one consistently delivers top quality. Definitely recommend! 🍣✨“

“After a nature walk at Watkins Park, decided to stop here for a quick dinner pick up. The prices and quantity were fabulous. Welcoming and quick service. Generous amounts of salmon and shrimp in/on my sushi so it was a great value. Unfortunately, the rice was pretty bland. As a sushi connoisseur, I keep furikake and rice vinegar on hand. The Cherry Blossom was decent.

Recommend they pitch the soy sauce because it was tasteless. ?
But once again, my cubbard came to the rescue with some kikkoman. I will try the hibachi next time.“

“Amazing place food really good“

“This really cute little Japanese shop was a great experience. On the simple side, but sushi was delicious and my friends enjoyed their food as well (one got chicken soup, and one got chicken teriyaki noodles). The workers were also very welcoming and nice, especially when they learned it was our first time coming to eat there. Reasonable priced, will be back again :)“

“This place is so fun if you love a variety of Asian foods, and this evening I happened to walk in on a fantastic live jazz band playing by the bar. Last time, we had Korean tacos and tempura, this time I’m having croffles, miso soup, and spaghetti. (I know it’s weird but it’s all so delicious)“

“One of the restaurants inside the Stamp Student Union. Seating in common Stamp dining area. Great poke bowls. Consistently delicious.
Michelle is the sweetest! She deserves a raise!

Parking: It’s on UMD campus so look at umd website for parking details. I wouldn’t recommend driving here.“

“Overall hard to beat. The family all like it, so for take out night it is easy. Massive portions, prepared at time of order. Consistent quality, and almost always good. Parking is easy, a bit hard to get to due to the other restaurants in front of it.
Service is quick“
