Sakura Japanese Restaurant

My friend and I arrived about 7p and surprisingly was able to get seated immediately. You know there is a wait if you see the silver chairs filled on the outside. Groups larger than 4 might have to wait a bit. There is only street parking available, so just realize it might be hard to find a parking spot. Aside from the parking and perhaps a brief wait, I enjoyed the food. The pic shows eel and some basic rolls we ordered. I also ordered a tasty dragon roll. Dinner combos are also available along with sushi combo plate. Be ready to take food home as it is definitely a place where you order a lot but might not finish.

Wow, amazing Japanese restaurant. The food is fresh and tasty. I recommend you guys come visit.Food: 5/5

Super speedy no nonsense sushi. Was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the fish. The asparagus shrimp tempura roll and the assorted nigiri were our faves. Would recommend the sushi combo chef’s choice!Food: 5/5

Great Japanese restaurant, been here in LA for a long time. Its quite loud and busy inside but the food is great! We were seated within minutes even though it was very busy. Courteous and kind service. There are 3 sushi chefs at the bar. Positive atmosphere.

This is my favorite all-around Japanese comfort food in Los Angeles. Sushi is always fresh. The service is excellent. I've never had a bad dish here. The sides are authentic, and the line is long to get in at times, but it is always worth the wait.Food: 5/5

Prices for the sushi combos are reasonable but be aware that the sushi combo will likely come with one octopus nigiri and one squid nigiri. Other sushi joints typically do not do this, particularly my favorite sushi joint doesn't. Octopus and squid are always the two most inexpensive items on a nigiri sushi menu. So you get a reasonably priced sushi combo meal but it comes with two nigiri that I didn't want -- octopus and squid. You can substitute out but they will charge for it. If I returned to Sakura, I definitely would not order the combo again.

Excellent food, excellent service. First impressions of this place surpasses my expectations. I will come back to try out their kitchen menu items.Dine in: YesOutdoor seating: NoTakeout: YesDelivery: NoCurbside pickup: No

A lovely and cozy spot for truly authentic Japanese cuisine. Prices are fair and the sushi is fresh and delicious.

One of my favorite Japanese spots in the area. The teriyaki chicken is grilled and has an abundance of flavor, I ordered the white meat and also the beef teriyaki which was debatably better depending on who you ask. I ordered a side of crab gyozas which were good but the sushi is where it’s at. Fresh nigiri and sashimi served dailyDine in: YesTakeout: YesDelivery: YesCurbside pickup: Yes

Kind chefs, great service and super fresh fish always. The owners are nice too. They def don’t skimp you with the portions here! If I could I would go here twice per week!
