The food was awful. The beef was tough, rubbery and flavorless. The gyoza super greasy, not fresh and again lacking flavor. I gave the entire meal to my dog. How does this place remain open?! Gross. All around.

I’ve been ordering from here for a bit over a decade now. I live very close, & have ordered nearly everything on their menu, a lot of items more than once. Their sushi has been fresh & tasty. I’d say on two occasions, I had some sushi that wasn’t so great, but compared to how much sushi I’ve ordered from this place over the years, disliking any of my orders was a rare occurrence. I’m not a fan of their bubble teas, as they were made with powders.They don’t have a vast selection & hasn’t changed much if at all since I started ordering from there when I was a teenager. I believe they have always been affordable & a good choice for your dollar. I love spicy tuna & unagi (delicious!).I’ve eaten in a few times. The service was nice & the environment is calm. If you’re expecting a fast-paced experience, this place isn’t for you. The server also handles calls, greets people & hands off orders. Overall, the restaurant isn’t deeply staffed, & the woman greeting people & the chef have been there for a very long time. She has always been respectful. Her demeanor can be characterized as serious & she often doesn’t say more than what’s necessary. Some days she’s smiled at me; other times she hasn’t. She hands my order in my hand, hands my change in my hands, always charges me properly for my order. I have no complaints against her or anyone else at this restaurant, as I’ve seen in other reviews. She does her job & I’ve always been comforted to see she’s still there at the front of the restaurant after all these years. I remember having sushi as a treat with my friends after school. I’ve shared food from here with my family. Born & raised in JC, JC Sakura was & still is apart of my experience as a resident.The fish I’ve had is fresh, the rice has always been properly cooked & soft but never mushy. Though it’s walking distance, there were times I needed orders delivered. I’m aware that their delivery person rides a bike, so I’m patient & understanding of the staffing here. I recall the last delivery person from a few years ago bashfully complimented my name & bowed a few times while smiling & returning to their bike. Sometimes deliveries took almost hour, most of the time, less than half an hour.I’ve always found myself pleased with service & food from here.Understand, especially with restaurants run by owners & small shop restaurants, there can be a lot to handle when closing down a restaurant. Despite having an empty room or being an hour away from closing, they have their reasons not to accommodate indoor dining. There’s another restaurant nearby I’ve been visiting since I was a child, & the family has expressed frustration with people’s entitlement to indoor dining or serving close to closing. Considering it’s run by the same people almost daily, they cannot afford any of the sicknesses going around. They also cannot afford paying constant overtime pay; it’s a reasonable boundary. On top of that, it’s unknown what stocks, shipments & other things are going on. And in the end, workers have lives beyond work. Whatever the case may be, they’re in their right to refuse indoor dining, & especially an hour before closing.

You'll be charged extra 3.5% for using debit cards or credit cards. And their altitude is so freaking bad. I did check the comments in Google before coming here. But apparently I underestimated how bad this place was and how real the comments were.

Was there today for lunch ordered salmon salad rice n soup which she said I can’t have it ?I said I want it make it a side order she gave us no fork was cheap with only one napkin it wasn’t salmon we had to ask for forks when we got in no water or tea or even a hello she was rude and no eye contact very dismissive so don’t go there the salmon u get it not salmon and they don’t get customers because of the service from the cashier/ waitress server all in one green tea smelled like perfume I could drink it there are better ones I just made a mistake goin there with my friend without looking at their reviews

We were told we couldn’t sit inside (despite the place being nearly empty) and the staff was very rude about it. We were regular customers but not anymore. There is an amazing Japanese restaurant just behind Newport Mall. It’s much more worth your time.

If soy sauce is hard to get then I understand; but 3 orders and 1 pack of soy sauce makes no sense. Food is 3.5 and service is 2-.5

Love the salmon avocado rolls. Miso is just ok. It is my go to.

I would compare this sushi to the premade stuff you see being sold at gas station marts.

I always order from here and usually love it no complaints ever but my most recent order tonight was very disappointing. They didn’t put any sauce on the dinner boxes and gave a vegetable soup when it’s usually miso soup with the dinner boxes. Everything was cold and the tempura was so soggy and disgusting. Very disappointed. Waste of money.
Love the food and great service
