About Sakura of Japan

Sakura of Japan offers an affordable lunch option with consistent Chicken Teriyaki Platters that are flavorful and generous in portion size. The restaurant recently started accepting credit cards, making it more convenient for customers. Prices are reasonable, with the regular platter priced at $10.99. The chicken is cooked perfectly and covered in a sweet teriyaki sauce, although some customers find it a bit too saucy. The platters come with plenty of chicken and rice, but some wish for more vegetables. Despite the fake Japanese food taste, the restaurant attracts decent business, especially for those looking for a cheap lunch in the Financial District. Customers praise the high protein, big portions, and the amazing taste of the teriyaki chicken, making it a great value for the price. It is a takeout spot, perfect for a quick work lunch or tourists grabbing food to go and sitting by the World Trade Center. Service is fast and friendly, and the food is so popular that it often lines up early, with wait times ranging from 20 to 30 minutes if not arriving before or after peak hours. Many customers love the food so much they eat a whole plate by themselves, and some hope the restaurant might open a seating area to accommodate more diners.
