First and only time we will visit this place. The restaurant is take out only. Staff are friendly. the ceiling is leaking and there are water stains on the ceiling tiles. I couldn't see into the kitchen but there could be leaking there. We bought two Bento box a, chicken teriyaki and tofu. The food smelled great on the ride home but once we started eating it it was awful. Teriyaki sauce was extremely salty making the food inedible. Teriyaki was mostly cabbage, the cheapest thing you could get. I counted seven tiny cubes of tofu. Broccoli was cut in thin pieces and burnt. Tempura was so greasy. Best part was the California rolls.

I used to love this place. It was one of the more authentic sushi Japanese places I could find in the Durham area until Covid happened. About a month ago I went in there, thinking I was going to sit down like before and eat dinner with my family to my surprise now they treat it as a takeout spot, today I ordered the Bento box with an order of kimchi, and the kimchi is not by any means authentic at all whatsoever. All it was was hard cut up cabbage that looks like coleslaw and chilli powder. You can always tell by the kimchi, how authentic it is going to be. I am not impressed and probably will not order from here again.For the Bento box and a small order of kimchi it came out to be about $45 with delivery way too overpriced for your hard earned cash.

Take out only but you are welcome to sit (not wait staff service). It wasn’t too busy so we dined in with the takeout. The atmosphere is very peaceful. Staff are very kind.

Great Food. I wanted more soy sauce and they generously gave me as much as I requested. The restaurant used to be nice when it was sit-down service. Although, we are happy with picking up the food and taking it home.

Highly recommended. The sashimi was fresh. Salmon sushi pizza is definitely better than anything available in Durham Region. Spicy tuna rolls and Alaska rolls were excellent.I’ve tried most of the sushi spots in the area and often find that the restaurants cut corners. Fish that has been pushed past its best before date. Plain sushi pizza where the rice has been overcooked in old oil. All places that I’ve regretted getting dinner at. Sakura was the opposite of all that. Will be going back.

With a 40 piece tray, this is the amount of soya sauce you get, lol. Didn't even fill it up! How cheap can the people running this place be?? Hope you saving on soya sauce is worth more than losing a customer.
We did a take out order. Food quantity was lesser than expected. We ordered mango salmon roll and got vegetarian mango roll instead. Food was pretty pricey.Probably won't order again

Sushi is not the grocery store sushi. It’s decent for what’s is around here. Next time don’t take orders that you can’t handle and then make your customers wait for a long period of time. I don’t even come to this establishment anymore.
