Very well prepared food, and I ate a LOT! Crab Rangoon, 3 different sushi rolls, hibachi steak, and strawberry machi for dessert. My server was excellent He was pleasant, well groomed, attentive, and could not have been nicer or more professional. There was another person (perhaps front of house manager) who was unpleasant, abrupt, and bordered on rude. Maybe she was simply having a bad day. Even though I was there for far less than an hour, it seemed she wanted me to rush and leave. All in all, despite her gruffness, I fully recommend the sushi and I would definitely revisit
Be careful with the soup. It’s really hot. Burn my tongue The lid from the container was melting. Maybe opt for the salad. The chicken was kind of dry. They had a great atmosphere

I actually really enjoy ordering from this place. Never had a problem with the food or the service until the last time I was in there, I was ordering my food to go and I asked the girl behind the. Register how they do their tips. Do they all split it? I would like to tip accordingly.She pointed at the owner, I said, are you serious? The owner gets all your tips. The owner then turned towards me with a snarky. Remark, all aggressive, telling me that she uses that money to pay her employees. So not only do they have high prices for the food, which I thought was to help pay for their overhead, and their employees turns out that the owner is just greedy and keeps all the money for herself.I will still continue to eat here, but I will no longer be leaving a tip

This is my favorite Japanese restaurant. The food is excellent and the employees are very friendly.

We are extremely disappointed with the service we received today. Upon our arrival, the lady greeted us rudely by saying, “You finally came.” Additionally, the gentleman who took our order was also rude. It took an unreasonably long time for our food to arrive.
When the gentleman server was placing the plates down, he swatted at my son’s hand and said, “That’s his.” While he may have intended it as a joke, it crossed a line and was unacceptable. No one should touch my son.
Overall, our experience was very disappointing, especially at a place we once enjoyed. We will not be returning.

Sat down at 6pm and didn’t get food until 7:15 pm….service was HORRIBLE

I'm a truck driver. This is the only place I get sushi!!!
Do you like pin bones in your salmon? Are you looking for a place that has old , tasteless, sketch looking Tuna? Have you ever had a really bad salad and wondered if there could possibly be a worse one somewhere else? Does picking up silverware and feeling grime encase your hand excite you? Come on down to Sakura in Maryville TN.
Well yesterday my girlfriend suggested we give it a try, and that was the beginning of the nightmare.
Eventually we get an order of 3 rolls for $15-16 (on paper, and in that moment it seemed like the world's best deal), and then my gf got a specialty Tuna roll that was about $12.
My Alaska roll had pin bones in 3 out of the 4 pieces I tried. After biting into two in the first, I figured there couldn't possibly be any in the rest. Well I was wrong, and then the third one was fine, and then I was wrong again. The tuna was not good. The salad was just iceberg lettuce with some dressing that had an off taste, maybe it just wasn't for me. It was free so I'm not upset about the salad, I do wish I saw a review about it beforehand so I could politely decline it.
The roll to the right of my plate was okay, but after everything else I just didn't have an urge to eat.
I was asked 3 times if I'd like a box. I said no I won't be eating it.
I had pushed the plate away and was clearly upset by it. No question on how is it, is everything okay, pin bones were visible. It's not even like it was crowded and they were short staffed.
Neither of the two employees (host and several) were friendly, or did anything to make it a positive experience.
I entered hungry, left hungrier, and about an hour later (around 12:30pm) my stomach was upset for the rest of the day, and I felt generally unwell and had no appetite for dinner.
On the bright side I only wasted $33 and an hour or less of mine and my girlfriends time. Life could be much worse, a dining experience probably couldn't be.
As is stands I won't be going back, and I won't ever suggest it to anyone (even my mortal enemies and arch nemesis).
My girlfriends roll was mediocre, the sauce on top didn't seem like a good match for the roll, but the roll looked nice and there wasn't anything wrong. 5/10
I don't feel great writing this, as this is only the 3rd unpleasant review I have ever left. It was also the third time I didn't tip, as the service was rude and 2/3 of my food wasn't edible.
I would have left $8-10 if they were: remotely pleasant, asked how the food was, apologized for all the pin bones, or just literally the smallest amount of effort conceivable.
Oh well.
Score breakdown:
reasoning was it wasn't edible
while it wasn't good, we did receive both food and water that we had politely requested
reasoning, I just wanted the numbers to increase by one aesthetically, more accurately it would score a two. Very cramped, didn't exude a vibe of cleanliness, felt unwelcome, and eventually miserable

Good food and service, the food was alright, all and all a good place to sit and talk

It is always a pleasure to eat here. Great food and service at a good price, so I can't ask for anything more.

Me and my girlfriend frequently come here for their sushi. They have really great prices and serve quality food. We get the 3 sushi rolls for $15, considering many other places would charge $10+ for one roll this is amazing. Great workers, always greeted with smiles and warm greetings. Atmosphere isn’t the best in the world but they are in a strip mall, and there isn’t much space to work with. Overall really good experiences every-time we’ve been.
