" I can't say enough good things about this place! If you're looking for authentic Japanese flavors in a warm atmosphere, you have to try Sakura Izakaya. The gyoza were soft and stuffed generously, while the rich miso added depth to the soup. Plus, we had a fantastic matcha dessert that left us wanting more. It’s a gem that deserves your visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed the food, the service left much to be desired. Our server seemed a bit overwhelmed, and it took too long for our order to be taken. The sushi was delicious, but this incident made the experience less enjoyable for my group. I hope they can improve on their service aspect for future visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I was excited to try Sakura Izakaya, my experience fell a bit flat. The rolls were decent, but I felt they were overly sauced, which drowned out the fish's natural flavor. Service was polite but not overly attentive. The atmosphere was cozy, though I noticed it could have been cleaner. I might give it another try to see if it improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love this spot as I heard so many good things, but it didn't meet my expectations. The sushi was fresh but lacked the traditional touches I was hoping for, and it was a bit too mainstream. The service was okay, but I felt ignored at times. Maybe it's just me, but I expected more authentic flavors. I might try another visit to see if things change. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was my first time trying sushi, and I absolutely loved it! The avocado roll was delicious and creamy, and the service was kind. The atmosphere is very relaxing, but I do wish they had more desserts on the menu. Nevertheless, it was a great experience that I would highly recommend. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delighted with my experience at this izakaya! The spicy salmon roll was a highlight, perfectly balanced with flavors. The service was polite but had some moments of delay, likely due to a packed house. Overall, a pleasant evening with quality food. Looking to return soon for a quieter night. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of food here! Every bite was bursting with flavors, especially the grilled salmon belly, which melted in my mouth. The ambiance was cozy and very Instagram-worthy due to the cute decor. We were lucky to get in on a quiet Monday evening, and I can’t wait to try more dishes from their extensive menu. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
