Sakura Gables Japanese

Sakura is the bomb!! Chefs are great, sushi is fresh, menu is huge and the atmosphere is perfect! We go there every chance we can! It's expensive but totally worth it! At the end the older sushi chef always makes a really cool presentation out of fresh orange slices. I highly, highly recommend this place. more

A glutton for punishment, I tried Sakura three times - each experience was awful. (I wanted to like this place since it's close to my office) \r \r Sakura stinks - literally. I get that it's a sushi restaurant, but when the fish stench is overwhelming, it's a big red flag as to quality . Fresh, raw fish typically has very little odor. Not so fresh raw fish, well, stinks. \r \r Every time I have gone, the fish has been passable, but not great. Sakura's tuna is a dull pinkish color and has a funky after taste - far from the beautiful reddish color of fresh tuna. Salmon was also a little brownish - definitely lacked the vibrance and buttery flavor of fresh salmon.\r \r Stick with their cooked rolls - eel, shrimp tempura, etc. Definitely pass on the sashimi. more

The Sushi is awesome, and the infamous moooseroll is extremely tasty. The only issue is the service is a little off, and the wait for the food, and things like water and such were slow, but in the end worth it. more

Expensive but the moose roll is the bomb and great quality tuna. more

Sushi chef was eating with his hands and making sushi at the same time. Disgusting! more

I really enjoy Sakura. If I ever get takeout, they occasionally will offer a few pieces of one of their hot rolls while you wait. I love the Moose roll which is one of their specialties, which use tuna, and there is a white tuna version of this roll. It is a small restaurant, but it has a couple of TV screens to catch the game, and the quality of food is always great. I am usually hungry after eating sushi because usually rolls are not that huge, but at Sakura, the rolls are rolled tightly, but they are also large. I am always satisfied at the end of the meal at Sakura. The staff is very friendly, and attentive. I will continue to visit Sakura because I have always had a good experience. Pros: Unique rolls, large pieces. Cons: -- more
