I do not really review food often, but I work in the area of the restaurant and wanted to try a new sushi place. The prices were reasonable and menu looked good so I figure I would give it a go.

I ordered three rolls all some variation of tuna and I have to say, the food was awful. The tuna did not look good, the rice was way over vinegared and the miso soup that came with it (often my favorite part) was not good. I have only had this place once, but my experience will not have me coming back.

Ordered sushi on Uber Eats. Never tried this place before, and never will again! I spent $60 on 6 shrimp tempura rolls. There's so much rice packed in it. The avocado is hard. And the shrimp inside the rolls are tiny little pea-sized pieces of shrimp. The most disgusting sushi I've ever had!

Oof. The sushi from this restaurant is probably on the level of what you might expect from a rural gas station. I work at a hospital and this place makes the sushi from the hospital cafeteria look like Royal Izakaya.

I was ordering delivery from this restaurant every other week. Not necessarily the best quality or the best sushi I've tried, but it used to be consistent and have good enough offers for me to make it a meal every now and then.

After a few months of not ordering, I decided to put in an order today, and I will let the pictures speak for itself. Highly disappointed on the food I received.

2025 update: what happened to this place. Stopped in recently and it was absolutely filthy. Gross!

Good quick sushi. Reasonably priced. It's no Umai but it's my go to for delivery sushi.
EDIT: PLEASE BRING BACK DELIVERY!

I ordered take out was packaged well and everything was the correct temperature. Unfortunately my salad was bad, the dressing container was bloated and had gone bad, tasted sour and bubbly. The sushi didn’t taste fresh and also had an off taste. I wouldn’t recommend getting take out from here maybe quality is different if you eat in.

I’m about to cry, I never wrote a review but this really done it for me like be forreal this is CLOWNERY. The sushi is just rice barely any fish. I thought I was being pranked. This place should shut down or give me money back. Like I never had sushi like this 😭 waited an hour from uber eats to receive the craziest sushi, I can’t even taste anythiny

I have never had worse sushi in my life. The rice is like overcooked oatmeal, the fish is spoiled. Never again.

Staff are exceptionally sweet and helpful! Location is convenient but not ada accessible. My usual neighborhood spot is closed on Mondays so I decided to try Sakura. I regret to say I will not return. I ordered very early and they communicated they might need a few extra minutes to prepare my order which is totally fine! Not a huge deal and I didn’t mind waiting.

I ordered the lunch chirashi bowl for $16.20 tax incl. which seemingly is not a bad deal. I got 2 pieces of 6 different varieties! Most spots only offer 3-4 varieties for lunch specials.

Unfortunately, there was a foreign hair inside the container. I was going to excuse this, but upon trying the sushi there were ice crystals inside most of the fish to show that it was stored at a VERY cold, freezing temperature. This was very disappointing as the texture of the fish, frozen or thawed, was bad.

Ordered on uber eats. Eel sauce was added to my shrimp tempura rolls. I've never ordered from a place that puts eel sauce on shrimp tempura rolls by default. I like to use spicy mayo as a dip and that tastes disgusting with eel sauce. I also added tobiko. So tobiko and eel sauce on my shrimp tempura rolls. ?

Uber eats doesn't list ingredients on their app. So I had no idea.

Miso was fine. Standard.

Food ended up being tossed, with the exception of the miso.

Can't comment on service or atmosphere as I had this delivered.

Tried the Spicy Girl, Incredible roll and Volcano rolls and was very impressed by all! Very fresh, great flavor, and good size rolls. (Not like the tiny ones you get in some places) definitely worth checking out!

Ordered on Uber eats. I am no fancy critic of sushi, I would consider myself an average enjoyer of sushi. Got the spicy salmon, Godzilla, eel avacado, and a couple other rolls. I couldn’t eat more than 2 pieces, I almost threw up. The fish tastes like nothing I’ve ever tasted before. I am a fisherman and enjoy raw fish, the fish here is bad. I read the reviews and gave it a try anyway. I am throwing out my entire order. Waste of $50.
