We used to come here on a weekly basis pre-Covid. Loved the food, but didn't like the service and felt the wait staff was rude.

Recently we had dinner here a few times and something has changed. The decor has been updated as has the menu and the wait staff is much, much better. In fact, they recognize us as former customers and are always happy to see us. We have now returned to coming here more regularly as the food is very good.

Sakura has a parking lot as well as options to park on the street. We never wait when we come here and it's BYOB, so we enjoy bringing our own selection of sake or wines.

Nice varied menu with lots of choices. Our favorites are chirashi sushi, age dashi tofu, all their special rolls are wonderful and my all-time favorite appetizer which is large enough to be an entree - Summer Garden.

Ordered a Roll Party Tray for delivery and it was amazing! The tray had a great variety, beautifully arranged and securely packed. The rolls were fresh, flavorful, and the rice texture was just right. Portions were generous, perfect for sharing at a gathering. Everyone loved it – will definitely order again!

“I had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff were very friendly and attentive, always making sure we felt comfortable and well taken care of. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for both family gatherings and casual dinners with friends. I especially recommend trying their dinner bento box 、 chicken katsu、 tmepura! – it was outstanding! Definitely a place I would love to visit again.”

We absolutely loved Sakura!
They had a great menu with a large selection that satisfied every palate and dietary preference. The food was fresh and delicious, and they even have a cauliflower rice substitute for those on a low-carb diet.
Yum!

Ordered delivery. Had Salmon Don and the fish was fresh and delicious. The Salmon Roe Sashimi was also very good. The Miso Eggplant appetizer was very flavorful. My child was happy with her Tempura Udon. The tempura was a very generously sized portion. I would order from here again.

I was in town for a show and happened upon this restaurant seeing the good reviews I thought I would have good food! Let me tell you I was very disappointed in the quality of food here. The service was fine and friendly and it looked like a nice spot but boy was the food not good. We ordered several sides and most we mediocre to bad. Even the water which has a lemon and I think mint in it was not even cold and tasted a little off. The pan fried gyoza tasted of the frozen grocery store variety. The tuna avocado cold appetizer was very okay shockingly lacked in good flavor. On the positive the fried calamari: not bad. My main was the thinly sliced pork belly hot platter over rice, kimchi, corn, and cabbage. I do love kimchi fried rice and dishes like it. This dish however was a weird combination and was mid to be honest. Kind of greasy and the rice wasn't quite the texture I was expecting. Overall I've had many good Japanese spots but this is one I would not go back to. The service was still nice enough at least

Great first time experience ordering from Sakura Restaurant. We ordered 4 spicy crunchy tuna rolls, 4 spicy crunchy tuna with Avocado, steamed Chicken Gyoza, extra ginger. All under 100 including tax and delivery fee. Well worth the weekend splurge for fresh tasting sushi. Will definitely dine out and order at this location. Family loved the quality and the fast delivery time. The woman answering the phone was clear, friendly, and fast. Making check out a breeze, thank you Sakura ❤️

The food was acceptable, though not the best. There were two of us, and when we received our bill of $60, we chose to pay using Apple Pay. We included a $5 tip, but the waiter canceled our payment and insisted that we leave a $10 tip instead. This request felt strange and disrespectful to us as customers.
