Sakura Japanese Restaurant

We enjoyed the food. Rating 4 stars because the service was slow.

Service was great! Steak eas good but soup just didn't do it for me.

Amazing food good portions great service couldn't be happier after experiencing the other Japanese restaurants in the area.

Quite good food although easy to miss when passing by but service could have been better.

Very good food and attentive service. Gluten free options aren't noted on the menu, though some sushi is. They have tamari.Dine in: Yes

This place was awesome! The service was great the food was so good, great flavor and nice and fresh. Next time I’m @ Va beach I will be back!! A not to miss

Went here for a lunch date. If I could give this sushi lower than 1 star I would. The sushi had way too much rice and the flavor was terrible. I would not recommend wasting your money here. I regret going. Will not be returning. If you want really tasty sushi with a lot of filler and a small amount of rice with great flavor I suggest going to Ninja in Suffolk. There is no comparison.

Got told they wouldn’t seat us because it was to late..Don’t say you are open till 9 and not seat us a hour before close. I drove from Chesapeake to eat here and will never come back….Boooooooooooo on you

It's off season right now and the whole town is dead. So the restaurant was empty. No fancy decor but the food was good and the seafood was fresh. We had shumai and seafood soba. Both were quite good. We will return.

The food is boring and bland. I ordered the $25 teriyaki sirloin with tempura shrimp and vegetables. I received eight small cut up pieces of dry meat with the limp tempura swimming in the plated teriyaki sauce. The meal was massively disappointing. I should have known this is a subpar restaurant upon entering this dark, dank cluttered place. There are boxes of dry food stuff, water bottles and other warehoused goods strewn about as only a lazy inattentive owner would allow.. My suggestion is that you do not waste your time or money in such a mediocre (at best) place.

I had three of the regular rolls. They were on the smaller side with a lot of rice and not a lot of filling. The amount of salmon in the Philadelphia roll was disappointing and the California roll barely had any filler - i will not be back. Place was clean, staff was nice, sushi was vastly disappointing.

I finally decided to try this place. When I went in, it was dark. Only two people were visible--the chef and the hostess. The hostess didn't smile, gave off an unfriendly vibe, and curtly asked if I wanted my food to go. I wanted to dine in, so she offered me a seat at one of their tables. I noticed that there were supplies in a room where large parties are hosted, out there in the open where customers can see. When I sat down at the table, I noticed that the table wasn't clean. I checked to see if there was any dust on it. No dust, but it was a bit sticky.I was not in the mood for only sushi, so I found that they had udon. I asked for it, along with a plate of sushi. I was not pleased with the sushi, because 1. It was a small serving on a large white plate, which made the portion look small, and the sushi was blending into the plate. 2. I popped one in my mouth, and I could hardly taste the vinegar in the sushi rice, and the flavors did not complement each other. 3. The ingredients were cheap.When the hostess brought me my udon, there was a fork in there. When silverware is brought with the food, it should not be in the food! It should be presented covered with a napkin, or wrapped. I looked at my udon, and I was not impressed. I was even more unimpressed when I tried it. The soup was dashi based--no rice vinegar or soy sauce; only carrots and cabbage were in the soup with the udon, and the udon looked like it came from a vacuum pack that can be bought at an Asian store. No fish cake, no fried tofu, no long onion, no tempura crumbs. I have made better udon at HOME. The tempura that came with it was okay, but who cooks broccoli in tempura batter?Overall, my lunch was tasteless, bland, and unfulfilling.As someone who grew up on Asian cuisine, and experience in the food service business, I was not impressed with the overall service, and very disappointed. The people in the establishment need training in how to make a good impression on their customers, and to learn how to upsell their products. And finally, they need to remove their supplies from the sight of customers, and to wipe down their tables more often!I regret coming by, and I will not go back.

Tried a couple of sushi rolls, both were incredible. Great food, great staff very reasonable. I am looking forward to my next visit!!
