Second location of the popular Mooloolaba restaurant of the same name. Opened recently with an…read moreupdated menu, which is excellent. A good selection of fresh fish and seafood is available, and if you enjoy maki (and you should) then this place has probably the best selection of special sushi rolls on the Coast. And it executes them all quite well. No complaints, a great choice for lunch or dinner, and I hope this place thrives in its new location.

We popped in for lunch as we were craving for Japanese food and it was all delicious! My family of…read morefour ordered some chirashi, a sashimi lunch meal, a salmon avo rolls, and udon noodles. The sashimi was fairly generous slabs and fresh. The staffs were nice. The toilet is outside on the other end of the shops but most beach town places all seem to have shared toilets and at least it was clean. If you're looking for a decent Japanese place, this is a good one to go.

For a tiny 12 dollars with drink I had a generous portion of teriyaki chicken which despite the…read morebudget price was very excellent. The meal was made from scratch and served piping hot. It comes with a high recommendation.

Everything seemed lovely walking in, great service and easy to find. However, the choices were…read morehonestly pretty basic and after realising the price per plate was so high we left. The really average chicken and avo nigiri I'd chosen was $5.50/plate, and the avo was beginning to brown. My boyfriend's tempura prawn was either $5.50 or $5.80, and he said it seemed a bit stale/dry. I wanted to like it - we probably wouldn't have actually cared if the sushi quality warranted the price. What was served wouldn't have been more than three stars even if it was $3.50/plate like normal.

Sadly, there aren't many options available when it comes to sushi on the Sunshine Coast. Of the…read morefew places around, Cherry Blossom Tree is one of the better options. You can sit along the sushi train if you prefer, or grab a table and order directly off their menu. The Cherry Blossom Tree doesn't offer a ton of variety or any particularly creative sushi rolls of the sort you might expect to find at a sushi joint in San Francisco (or even one on the Gold Coast), but the quality of everything that they do offer is good, and the prices are reasonable. Considering the lackluster sushi scene on the Sunshine Coast, that's good enough for 4 stars. Really though I'm still hoping that a truly world-class sushi restaurant will come to the area in the near future. If that happens, the Cherry Blossom Tree might be in trouble.

Have been back here a few times now since the unfortunate closure of Stillwater, and the overall…read morequality has been consistently improving. They've dialed back the use of mayo and improved their flavor balances significantly. The Super Duper roll is quite tasty. The fresh fish selection is still somewhat limited, though all of it tasted very fresh and they do have Kingfish to round out the standard offerings of Ahi and Salmon. Which is one better than most of the local sushi places. While Sakana is still not as good as Stillwater was, it's now probably the best local option for sushi on the Sunshine Coast. Wasabi up in Noosa is technically better, though of course it will cost you a small fortune to dine there. Sakana offers much more reasonable pricing, generous portions (the rolls are still quite large, but now that the quality has picked up I consider that a positive), and solid flavors. Worth a visit, or two.
