An immaculate Japanese restaurant, Sakura’s moderately upscale casual atmosphere offers a combination of refined classics and unique, sometimes eclectic takes on cuisine staples -- mostly sushi. The seasonal drinks were well balanced and strong. The Beef Tataki was beautifully plated, with a light savory flavor. The sushi tasted fresh. I recommend the miso soup and gyoza appetizers as well. The sushi menu felt a little long. This made it a little difficult to decide on an order. However, there also appears to be something for everyone. They also have a bar in the middle of the restaurant for those only seeking a casual drink.

The food was incredible, the sake was wonderful, the service was great. It was calm and restful there, a nice environment. Taka was so friendly and gave great parking advice. Absolute 10/10!

I read the reviews and was super excited to try this place. The food was mediocre and the portion size for $18 was absolutely absurd. That was barely a single small chicken thigh. Absolute disappointment. Needless to say I will never be back here again. If You want overpriced mediocre food and terrible portions this is your place.

Sakura has been a beloved favorite of mine and my husband’s since we first started dating—over 16 years ago! It’s more than just a restaurant to us; it holds so many special memories. The sushi is always fresh, beautifully prepared, and consistently delicious. We especially love the Brother Bill Roll—it’s our go-to and never disappoints. That’s how much we adore Sakura—I even had their sushi delivered to my hospital room after the births of both of our children! It was the perfect comfort food and a sweet reminder of all the years of tradition we’ve built around this place. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff is always kind and attentive. Sakura continues to hold a spark of nostalgia for us while still delivering incredible food every single time. We’re so grateful for the memories and look forward to many more visits.

One of the better sushi places in MN. Some rarer items available like Uni and Fatty Salmon. Call ahead if you plan on ordering these as they only had one order of Uni left. The staff is friendly and the service was great. They also have a full bar, so don't be afraid to make requests. I rather enjoyed my Whiskey Sour (with an egg white by request). We will be coming back again and again.
