I wish this place had better service & maybe a little bit lower prices then it would get a 5* review because the sushi was very good! Unfortunately, I waited at least 5 minutes at the door before I finally someone to seat me. The place was fairly empty but nice. If you're looking for good sushi, I'd say they will do fine! read more

I ordered from Sakura Bowl on DoorDash for the first time because my go-to spot wasn't available. I wasn't disappointed. I ordered a bunch of different things so we could try a bit of everything, and overall it was really good. I got the sushi boat for two ($62.99), and I was impressed by how much food it was for the price. It's all chef's choice, the rolls we got in our order was a Godzilla roll and a California roll. It also doesn't mention it on DD, but it includes miso soup and salad for two as well, which was a nice bonus. The fish tasted fresh in everything we ordered. We also got more rolls. The super white tuna roll ($6.49) was exactly what you'd expect. The salmon tempura roll ($7.99) wasn't too heavy or oily. The golden pillows appetizer ($6.99) was one of my favorites. It's tofu skin stuffed with rice and and spicy tuna and topped with avocado. It's well balanced and I wish they came in a larger order. You get two pieces. My other favorite was the volcano roll ($15.99) which is fried white fish and cream cheese topped with spicy tuna. I also tried the sweet potato tempura roll ($5.99) which was way too crunchy for my preferences. I would have preferred it to be softer. That said, everything else was delicious, and I'd definitely order again. I'd just skip the sweet potato roll next time. read more

Pretty good. Their food is tasty, although they don't offer ramen. A Google error, not a restaurant error. Their sushi is quite good. Service is great. I would definitely go back. Decor is nice as well as the atmosphere. There is a lot for parking in the back. read more

Sakura Bowl - Beef Bowl - Japanese Near Me - Highland, Indiana

Sakura Bowl is my favorite Asian cuisine here!! I've lived in Chicago for 5 years and I still just love this place so much!! We would always just eat the sushi since it was so yummy and I always get the mushroom and onion soup. I love the soup soooo much it might be an addiction haha. I think we stopped here 3-4 times this week just because I wanted the soup so bad A lot of restaurants don't serve it and I'm so glad to see it here! The place I normally go to for it is in Fort Wayne so I haven't had it in a while. Yesterday I got to try the custom bowl bar for the first time and I am so angry with myself that I didn't try it sooner! (If you had Flat Top Grill before, it is the same setup as that) It was so delicious and such a great deal. The bowls being $12.99 for lunch and 14.99 for dinner plus soup and salad? Amazing! I was so happy that they had some fried tofu bits since I love fried tofu and their options in general are super nice! I will say that the beef is a must have, as the way they cooked it on the grill was so it had a small char on the sides so it tasted soooo good and not rubbery. I did make the mistake of using 2 bowls of sauce when I had udon as my carbs... since the udon sucks up all of it and becomes a flavor overload! I do recommend using more sauce if you have rice as your main carb though :) P.S. If you get sushi, the Godzilla roll is sooo good! My boyfriend orders it every time we come here haha. read more

Sakura Bowl - The Sakura special, it looks like it's really flavorful, the color is great, meat and shrimp perfect, but the SAUCE, GROSS. Flavorless. - Japanese Near Me - Highland, Indiana

Love Sakura bowl the servers are always friendly. The food is awesome, highly recommended.

Highly raved about for a reason! Being from this area, consistent and quality Asian restaurants are hard to come by. Usually when you pay a cheaper price, you sacrifice flavor and quality; not with Sakura Bowl. At Sakura Bowl, their fan favorite item is the custom bowl, where you can add as much vegetables, meats, sauces, and seasonings as you'd like. This is only $12.99 during lunch time and $14.99 at dinner time. One of the best things about the custom bowl, is you can add as much meat as you want without the extra up charge and there is no limit on how many different meats you can mix together. I highly recommend this dish because you can truly satisfy everyone in your party whether they're a picky eater or they love tons of variety! Their quick, prompt, and polite service added to the experience. Fast paced restaurants usually lack in this area, but not Sakura Bowl. Just within my time there, there were multiple servers greeting their regulars by name. Our server was incredibly kind and was very fast in taking our orders and having our food on the table. The ambiance of Sakura Bowl is modern and tasteful, without it being too loud or tacky. It's a nice, open environment and music that isn't too loud or overbearing. Sakura Bowl is a great spot in Highland. I would definitely add this to your regular rotation of restaurants to keep coming back to! I'll definitely be coming back soon! read more

The food was decent. I think they dye their tuna. The rice is too compact which means they add more sugar and liquids to it. I believe it is fresh however. I was the only one in the restaurant at 2:30pm which may not be unusual for that time. read more

Consistency is key here!!! I live close and order from Sakura a few times a month. I have only had good experiences here. This last time I ordered the Mongolian Beef Dinner (came with salad and soup) and the Sweet Potato Roll. We also got the Teriyaki Chicken Dinner and the pork gyoza. The Mongolian beef has mushrooms and green peppers with a wonderful sauce and noodles. The noodles are a star of this dish. The sweet potato roll was so tasty and looked and smelled amazing. The teriyaki chicken is my sons favorite. The chicken is great and flavorful. The pork gyoza also are wonderful as always. Crispy and fresh. The service and prices here are just awesome. Keep up the great work!!! read more

The old Lincoln Sandwich Shop has been transformed into a dark room with interesting Asian accents. The overall effect is pleasant . We each had 2 drinks and 4 sushi dishes. Our bill totaled $44 - pretty reasonable. Between street and lot in the back, parking was decent I would have liked to try the bowls. Apparently, you choose your meat and vegetables to be sautéed. Next time... The only problem was our server - she didn't understand or speak much English, so it was difficult to communicate. She didn't understand our questions, and we didn't understand her answers. Since we were new to sushi, there were many questions. Fortunately, there were letters & numbers for most dishes, so pointing worked - sort of. The only disappointment was the salmon - it was room temperature and should have been served cold. Oddly, our check came with fortune cookies. A Chinese tradition in a Japanese restaurant? We'll return. read more

Found this little spot on Yelp abs decided to give it a try. Ordered the Custom Bowl where you pick your own protein(s) and veggies from a bar. You can get as much of whatever you want so long as it fits into the provided bowl. You decide whether you want rice or noodles. They provide variations of both. Also there are several sauce options. Also had the calamari rings and crab Rangoon as appetizers. Both were very good. The bowls came with soup and salad. The waiter forgot our salads, but provided them as carry outs. The portions were enormous. The best part...2 appetizers, 3 entrees, and 3 non/alcoholic drinks for $70. -- at Sakura Bowl. read more

I was in the area, was in the mood for sushi and this was the first place that came up on google. Walking in the place was super cute, modern looking with dark tables and what appeared to be a buffet style set up along the back wall. What I'm guessing based on the menu is that its a little salad bar type thing where you pick items you want and they grill it up for you in their signature bowl. They're menu is neither limited nor extensive, with a handful of Japanese style entrees and a lot of grill items that include things as off the wall as fajitas. My waitress was super, super nice and I ordered the pork gyoza, a miso soup, the salmon garden appetizer, a spicy scallop handroll, salmon nigiri and white tuna sashimi. I found that although the food was good, it wasn't GREAT. It lacked some flavor and even the soy sauce just kind of tasted off to me. The best thing I had was definitely the salmon garden which is lobster meat wrapped in salmon and seared with a yuzu sauce, but I got it with spicy mayo instead. For all the food I ordered, my bill was only $40 and thats really impressive for a sushi joint. Although I don't have anything bad to say about this place, I probably won't come back or even really recommend it to people only because I feel as though there are better spots for sushi in the area. read more

Food was good but one was missing teriyaki sauce, which was the reason I ordered. I called the restaurant and the first person that answered wasn't interested in assisting me. I said thanks anyway, I'll find a different place to buy from. Then I received a call back and after providing proof, the gentleman, Jimmy, made it right. Though I ordered for pick up, I did notice that the inside looked clean and kept and they have all u can eat which I'll definitely be trying one day. read more

I stopped into Sakura to indulge in sushi one last time as I drove from CT to northern MN, where there isn't much sushi. The sushi was high-quality, and I didn't regret my decision. I was surprised that the restaurant used plastic plates, spoons, and soy sauce bowls...until I became surrounded by families with small children. I was alone so that was fine, but if I'd been on a date it would've been annoying. read more

We have been waIting for this restaurant to open! We went last night to checck it out (Saturday night 6ish). There is no parking in front of the restaurant because it is downtown. The parking lot across the street was completely full. Luckily, they have great signage off of Kennedy Avenue that advertises parking in back. There is also a back entrance so you don't have to park in back and then walk to the front outside. We enjoy crab ragoons, fried calamari, dragon rolls & Godzilla rolls. It was all yummy. The service was great. She refilled our beverages that were only 1/2 empty shortly before food arrived. read more

I am reporting this business to the BBB. The male counter worker randomly charges extra money for take out orders, no explanation given, no notices in the restaurant stating why. When I asked about it, he just talked over me. Misogyny seems to be part of his game. If you want to be overcharged for take out orders and be thoroughly dismissed when you ask about it, then definitely eat here. read more

Tons of food and very tasty. Traveling from out of state (AZ) and found on Yelp. Glad we found it!

My first time at Sakura. Was disappointed but maybe my expectations were to high. I ordered hot green tea, it was Lipton green tea. I ordered the shrimp and veggie tempura, the batter was no flavor and too hard. The veggies like sliced zucchini and sweat potato could have been thicker. The dipping sauce was very sweet - like a teriyaki sauce. Then I ordered some different sushi for dinner. The rice was not true sushi rice, no evidence that they had used rice vinegar on it, no shine or flavor. I got a spicy tuna roll, the tuna was not pieces but ground up ? tuna. I also got another roll that had salmon, cucumbers, cream cheese in it. The cream cheese took almost 1/2 of the roll. Very disappointed. I also ordered Unagi nigiri which was ok but no very warm. I also got a spicy scallop hand roll. It was ok but bland. The waiter and hostess were very friendly. Maybe they are better with their hot bowls. But won't be back for sushi. I tried to point out some of the deficiencies to my waiter but he wasn't interested. And then with the check I received a fortune cookie. Chinese or Japanese ? read more
