" I've eaten at a lot of sushi places, but Sakura holds a special place in my heart. The staff are consistently friendly and make you feel welcome. The ambiance is cozy, making it a perfect spot for a date. I had their signature sweet heart roll, and it was just exquisite! Just remember to be patient during busy times as service can slow down a bit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved it! The sweet heart roll was my favorite, and the service was fantastic with friendly staff. The ambiance was cozy with a modern touch. One slight drawback was that the food took a little longer than expected to arrive, but it was worth the wait! I can definitely see myself becoming a regular customer here in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been visiting Sakura since it opened, and it never disappoints! The sushi is phenomenal, and I'm such a fan of their special rolls. The quality is always fresh, which keeps me coming back. I also love bringing friends here because the hibachi experience makes every visit memorable. Service is typically attentive, but can slow down during busy hours. Still, it's one of the best places in Athens for sushi and hibachi. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sakura has quickly become my go-to restaurant for sushi in Athens. The sushi combinations are always fresh and beautifully arranged. I got the volcano roll, and it was a feast for both the taste buds and the eyes. They also surprised me with a complimentary dessert as I was celebrating my promotion. While I did notice the service can falter at times, the food definitely makes it worth the occasional wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner with friends at Sakura, and although the service was good, the food was not as flavorful as I anticipated. The fried rice was bland, which is a huge letdown with hibachi meals. Although some sushi options were good, like the heart roll, a few dishes missed the mark entirely. Still, I appreciate the friendly staff, which made our experience pleasant enough despite the food being subpar. " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequently try Sakura because it consistently delivers great food! The sushi is fresh, and the variety is impressive. I've tried almost everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. Plus, the hibachi experience is always fun and entertaining! The only area for improvement could be the wait times, which can be a bit long especially during weekends. But the quality of the food makes it worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried many sushi spots, but Sakura stands out because of its authentic flavors and vibrant presentation. The sushi rolls we tried were exquisite, especially the Godzilla roll, which had a perfect balance of taste and texture. The staff was friendly and efficient. However, the table service was a bit slow during peak hours. Nevertheless, I had a great experience and would love to come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
