Great place! Finally, I can get sushi without having to drive 40+ mins to a whole different city . The staff is friendly, the environment is a little on the quiet side, but still good. Thankful to have a decent sushi place open up in our small middle of nowhere town.

I had the Rock-N-Roll and my wife had the sushi dinner. It was all delicious, they have the most important ingredient here for sushi, good sushi rice. The California roll that came with my wifes dinner was even amazing. The match-stick cucumber and avocado tasted far better than most other places I had tried, and worked perfectly with the great sushi rice. My Rock-N-roll was amazing, the shrimp inside was far larger than other places I have been and the sauce on top was to die for. Wish I lived closer so I could keep coming again and again.

After having some really bad experiences after only being open for 2 weeks I decided to wait about a month or two before returning to give them time to work out the kinks. It felt unfair to judge them solely on these initial experiences in an industry that struggles in so many ways post-COVID. Today I arrived at noon on a Friday, it was not a full dining room as all the other times I attempted to dine. I was promptly seated and my waiter was cheerful and attentive. I was able to put my order in just as he returned with my drink. I ordered the Gyoza and Alligator Roll. My food took only about 10 minutes to come out after ordering. My sushi's presentation was pleasing to the eye and hit the spot, everything was absolutely delicious. I was able to be in and out in under 45 minutes, which I believe is important for people who are more than likely coming in during a lunch break at work. This has improved DRAMATICALLY since my past visits. So glad Sakura has come to our community and I plan to patronize them more often. I hope those of us who love this type of food will continue supporting them and keep them here. The value for what you get on your plate(s) is quite good considering many other local fast and mediocre foods can cost the same if not more. If you have not tried them, I highly recommend you do, they will not disappoint.

We had dinner here Tuesday. It was really good. We ordered the sashi sampler, the Cucumber roll, a rainbow roll, the tempura appetizer and one each of the onion soup and miso soup. They were short handed so service was a little slow bit despite that, we had a great experience and will definitely be going back.

I called in a pickup order for the Shaggy Dog and the Fried Gyoza. They said it would be ready in 15 minutes, and it was. The roll lacked enough spicy Mayo and eel sauce. Other than that, it was perfect. I added extra eel sauce for .50 to dip the Gyoza in. There was extra soy sauce in the bag with a fork, chopsticks, and napkins. The bag was stapled close very well. And everything was nice and fresh. Considering that I didn't have to drive 30-40 minutes out of town it's worth the price.
