" I was looking forward to trying the sushi at Sakura based on the hype, but sadly it didn't live up to my expectations. The rolls were decent but lacked the fresh taste I was hoping for. The service was alright, but I did feel ignored at times. I might give it another chance, but my first experience was not great. " (*Curated Review*)

" I won’t be returning to Sakura after my last visit. The portion sizes were significantly smaller than I remembered, and the sushi tasted a bit stale. The atmosphere was nice, but I felt like I was paying more for less. It was quite unfortunate as I used to love dining here. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sakura is such a fun dining experience! The last time we were there, our chef was hilarious and had great skills. The show they put on is entertaining, and it’s nice to see everyone involved. The food: superb. The shrimp tempura was crispy and delightful. I think this is my favorite Japanese restaurant in the area; I can’t recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last time we went to Sakura the overall experience fell short. We felt a bit rushed and the service wasn’t as friendly compared to our previous visits. The food was still satisfying, but the whole vibe felt off. They need to work on customer service to make it a more enjoyable visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I didn't enjoy my visit to Sakura as I anticipated. The sushi rolls felt overly simple and lacked the freshness I was hoping for. Service was pedestrian, and the atmosphere was average. I feel there are better options nearby for Japanese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sakura is a staple in our town, and for good reason. The sushi here is exceptional - always fresh and well-prepared. I especially love the eel nigiri. However, I must say that the service can be hit or miss. Sometimes the servers are attentive, while other times they seem overwhelmed. Despite that, the atmosphere is lively and fun, especially during the hibachi shows, making it a great spot for gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sakura is definitely a solid option for Japanese cuisine! The sushi left me impressed, and I enjoyed the unique flavor profile of the Hawaiian roll. The atmosphere was welcoming and cheerful, and the wait staff were on it! I’ll certainly come back and bring friends next time. " (*Curated Review*)
