Sakura Restaurant

Sakura offers the freshest sushi that I have ever had. Service is awesome, all the waitress will greet you with a smile as soon as you walk in. They will occasionally also try to have conversations with you. The atmosphere is relaxing and they have beautiful Japanese artworks posted on the walls. They also have special traditional Japanese rooms for large groups. On the weekend, they offers sushi special, I would highly recommend that special. Their seaweed salad is really good, they include 3 different types of seaweed, crab meat (not fake crab), and shrimp. I also recommend their cold udon noodles. As for sushi, they are all very fresh, they have the best tasting Salmon!! Pros: Fresh sushi, weekend sushi special, awesome service Cons: None, this place is my favorite restuarant more

THIS is the original Sakura restaurant and it is NOT affiliated in any way to the Woodfield Sakura. Don't get the two confused! Whenever I crave sushi, I always go to Sakura (Mt. Prospect). Sure, you can find cheaper sushi elsewhere (e.g., Todai), but this place serves REAL sushi. There is a difference between the authentic sushi you get here versus the other places--try for yourself and write a review. Pros: High quality cuts. Authentic sushi. more

It is an unfortunately thing that Japanese people are moving out Chicago and because of that Its hard to find a decent Sushi house after Hatsuhana is closed due to the property issue. Fortunately, theres Sakrura. Pros: Authentic and Traditional Cons: More expensive then the one at Woodfield more

Wonderful, authentic, Japanese rather than Korean sushi. Has several nooks for parties of 4 or more if one wants to be served in a traditional manner. Staff makes an effort to recognize and get to know you. Be careful - staff remembers details! Great place for lunch too. Though occassionally crowded, usually there is little or no wait. Reservations are accepted, but not usually necessary. Ambiance could use an upgrade - all are provided with childrens' placemats (crayons upon request), but the food and staff make up for the minor shortcomings. Pros: Easy to find, Good parking, Reasonable prices Cons: sometimes crowded more
