It's changed ownership the new owners don't seem to know what's going on.we just loved the former owners so sorry there not running it anymore.

In town visiting family, stopped here after a recommendation. Sake on the menu but can’t serve it due to liquor license issue, half the beer is no longer available but still on the menu. Sushi pieces are oversized making them awkward to eat. Tempura batter is way too thick. Woke up in the middle of the night with stomach issues. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was fun but the food was meh.

The best place for sushi and Thai food in Franklin. Sakura has been around for well over twenty years and they are Franklin's best kept secret. If you're in downtown Franklin or near the area, you owe it to yourself to check them out. Great service and excellent sushi choices. Their Pad Thai is one of the best I've ever had. I've been bringing friends and dates here for decades and it's my favorite place in the area.

Sushi roll was great. I would NOT recommend the pho. I ordered the beef pho and it was not good at all.

My wife had the displeasure of enduring appalling rudeness at this establishment. The manager, with an insufferably condescending tone, questioned her ability to pay as she counted a couple of dollars in change for the order. Would he have questioned her ability to pay if she was white? The only reason we ever tolerated this mediocre spot was its proximity to our home. We've decided to opt for Fuji Hibachi Express Spring Hill for superior food and service instead. Based on other reviews I've seen for this restaurant this isn't the first time the manager has been rude to a paying customer. He should be fired. Don't visit this pitiful excuse for a restaurant.

This is easily our favorite sushi spot in Franklin! Their Chinese and Thai food is also excellent. The service is always great! We love Sakura!!!

I have been going to Sakura for the better part of 10 years since I moved to Franklin. I have never written a review and that baffles me. I have been to Japan twice in my life and visited 2 regions both times. Kanto, Chubu, Kinki and Chugoku. Now I might be biased but I would say that Jun's caliber when it comes to preparing sushi is on par with some of the masters over there.Jan's kitchen work and service are top notch and Sam is probably one of the best servers/managers I have had the opportunity to see grow. The atmosphere is welcoming, though I do believe some updates might be helpful.I am always grateful when I have a chance to stop in and have some food or grab some to go. Great place and I believe somewhat underrated.

The food is good. The service is not good. They gave us zero sauce with our $150 sushi order. Then when i asked for 1 cup of spicy mayo, I was told its $1 extra for any sauce. A little annoying.
Food was great and their lunch specials. The man that waited on us was very impatient and sarcastic responding to our questions about menu. Rude.

I wanted to like this place but just didn't. The sushi rice was actually sweet which I did not like. They also poured mayo over almost everything and didn't say so I. The menu. The miso soup was also not great.

I love the food at this restaurant. Everyone is correct in that they have the best sushi in town. Actually, I have not had a bad dish of anything here.The one thing I wish is that customers were not forced to listen to 70's and 80's rock music that is sometimes turned up too loud. That is the only reason I could not give all 5-stars. Otherwise, two thumbs up!
