Sakura Japanese - Virginia Beach

Stopped in for dinner at Sakura and was quickly seated at a table near the window with a great view. The restaurant was welcoming, well decorated and had a great ambiance. The server welcomed me with a smile and a water and my appetizer came out in no time at all! I ordered a cucumber salad edamame both were delicious. For my main course I opted for two rolls volcano and shrimp tempura. They were prepared perfectly. I highly suggest stopping in for sushi they have a wide variety of rolls and sashimi. I love coming here when I don't have a lot of time; the service is always quick and the food is always top tier.

Rating: Last night's dinner at Sakura Japanese Restaurant was nothing short of a delightful culinary journey. From the moment we walked in, the authentic Japanese ambiance set the stage for an extraordinary dining experience. The sushi selection was the star of the show. Each piece was a work of art, both visually and in taste. The fish was fresh, the rice perfectly seasoned, and the presentation exquisite. The chef's expertise in balancing flavors and textures was evident in every bite. What impressed me equally was the variety and quality of the other dishes. From savory ramen with rich, flavorful broth to perfectly grilled teriyaki, every dish was a testament to the chef's skill and attention to detail. The service at Sakura was impeccable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations and ensuring our meal was enjoyable from start to finish.

Food was great as per usual! Always get the jalapeño yellowtail appetizer along with their kitchen food. Can't go wrong with this place

I've ordered the same meal carry out and dine in, and both were of equal quality! My order was the hibachi steak dinner. It comes with fried or white rice, salad with ginger dressing, and miso soup. Hibachi steak isn't listed on their dine in menu, but you can ask for it. I also tried the flavored cold sake and they only had the apple flavor. It tasted just like green apple Jolly Ranchers. The hibachi steak is juicy and the fried rice is is perfectly glossy with peas, onions, and carrots, and makes for even great leftovers. Dare I say the leftover fried rice is even better heated up the next day. When I called in, the wait for pickup was only 10 min. When I dined in, I was served immediately on a Friday night. Would love to come back here and try the sushi out.

We came to visit a friend and she's highly recommended this restaurant. We have never heard of an AYCE sushi restaurant (besides Sushi-On, which is a buffet) and were all excited to try it. And let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint. The staff are super polite and kind, the side dishes we ordered came out nice and hot, and the sushi rolls themselves were beautifully done. The quality of their fish is ‍ my boyfriend is super picky about white tuna and was pleasantly surprised by how soft and buttery theirs was. The restaurant was also very clean and well kept, and the decorations are beautiful and intriguing. I love the little pergola they have in the corner and love the cute tree lamps over the bar area. Would highly recommend this place to anyone!
