Very clean on the inside. Great service. And the food was very good. Great portions for the price. Fresh ingredients.
The people there were really nice, I was kinda sketched out by the place only because of the area but yes based off other reviews it is a hidden gem! I got two rolls and a salad for around $13 :) I got the seaweed salad, salmon skin roll and the asparagus crap roll definitely a place to try for cheap
Definition of a hidden gem! Food was all delicious. It wasn't busy, though hopefully that changes once more people find out about the place. Staff was nice and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back!
Man I love this place food is definitely delicious. and always on point always hot good portions and all. I always get the steak and shrimp with fried rice hibachi.so so good but yes give them a try you might just find you new next food spot in the McKeesportport area🥰😘
I’ve had the chicken teriyaki bowl and now the salmon bowl and it’s out of this world! It’s so cheap too! I highly recommend this establishment! As an added bonus they have things for sale that are awesome!
We've just moved to this state from a location where the sushi was really suffering. Having live all over the country and coastal area, I've had really good sushi. I was hopeful about the review about Sakura that the food would be good, I was not expecting the quality we received. I have a very picky eater while my other one loves Japanese food and sushi. For my youngest, it can be a hit or miss when it comes to eating out. But sometimes, she will eat some fried rice. Let me tell you friend, she ate the whole bowl eagerly. I ordered the Tuna Tataki to share with my oldest, a California roll for her, a spicy tuna roll for myself, and unagi sashimi for myself. We LOVED the Tuna Tataki! The tuna was so meaty and fresh. The spicy tuna roll was probably the best I have had since living on the coast. It was delicious. The unagi, that's really a make or break for me, but ...this unagi was perfect and so delicious. Perfectly temped and glazed. Our plates are empty. Our bellies are full. My wallet is not hurting. And my kids are happy so I'm very happy. This will be our new to go sushi place in the area. We loved Sakura. The staff was accommodating and kind. The service was fast but did not affect quality. The indoor eating was clean, simple, and to the point. No decor but that doesn't add or subtract from the chill no frills ambiance of the store front. We will definitely be finding in again or picking up for takeout!
Just went today. Very delicious food, I typically don’t like hibachi vegetables, but the flavor/sauces made me love the hibachi vegetables from here. I got the steak hibachi with noodles instead of rice- 10/10, very delicious. I also got the miso soup, which with this weather, was very comforting. My boyfriend got sushi. He got the Dancing Eel sushi, and gave it a 8.5/10, and said it was very presentable and delicious. The service was so nice, we were asked a few times how we were and what we needed, so that’s always amazing service! A family with children were here before us, and we watched their service and it was impressive. Everyone was so nice as well!
I avoided this place like the plague. Years ago I had a horrible culinary experience at this building. HOWEVER, I didn't realize a new restaurant moved in. I'm sooooo glad I gave it a try. This place has some of the best sushi around. I tried other foods, and was impressed, as well. I look forward to exploring more of the menu. This is now my go to. Minimalist in appearance but maximal in taste. Not really designed to be a dine in, however there is so a place to dine. The staff is lovely and kind. Not fancy. The food here is the star. Really wonderful for the price. It's very easy to overlook, but don't make the same mistake i did.
I placed an order a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised. I definitely looked at the reviews and wasn't even sure if this place existed but I'm so happy it does. It was a very pleasant experience, I ordered on Uber eats. Someone from the restaurant contacted me just to make sure how many sets of chopsticks I would need, etc. I thought it was very thoughtful. I'm attaching a bunch of pictures so you can see for yourself how awesome everything is!.
I had company and was asked if I wanted sushi. Google maps brought this place up, rather close to home too. The t Shrimp Tepura rolls were absolutely the best I have ever had! Haven't tried the snow mountain ones yet but will update this review here shortly! Definitely definitely definitely the only place I'll be going when I want sushi!
