Couldn't spend more than a couple minutes in the restaurant itself. Walked in and walked right back out. The smell is horrible. It smells like a sewage line has bust directly under you! Its not just this one time, it has consistently been the past few times ive gone over the last year! read more

Party party party! Have a sushi loving group? Try the sushi tray! $38 for 7 rolls chose under "fresh fish roll" on the menu. We like the Alaska roll! Salmon avocado and cucumber. Can't go wrong. Your choice of sauces, don't forget the eel sauce and Yum Yum sauce. read more

This will be short. I had a carryout order. I ordered vegetable fried rice. Expectations: fluffy FRIED rice that separates with a fork, has a little color, peas, carrots, egg with some nice veggies. Reality: White grey looking rice, clumped and stuck together with wet soggy vegetables with a terrible bland taste. Absolutely uneatable! It was thrown away. Completely disgusting and disappointing! read more

Sakura Express - Steak Hibachi Lunch Special - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pascagoula, Mississippi

Love going to Sakura. Food is great and prepared fast. I always get some sushi and some chicken hibachi!

Literally my favorite place to eat... I love the food so very much, to be honest it's the best around the area. I have tried other restaurants that's served hibachi and SAKURA EXPRESS is my #1 pick.... Pros: Food is always hot, and order is correct, you get a lot of food I can eat on my meal for 2 days Cons: Dine In Area has a bad odor, customer service can also be better read more

WOW. JUST WOW. This is the best hibachi/Japanese food I have had in FOREVER. The food is excellent, service is top notch. Our entire order was ready in literally five minutes. It was hot and fresh. Do not let the outside throw you off. Inside this place is SPOTLESS. Very clean. The food is delicious. Even the salad was great! read more

What can I say, Sakura Express is a resturant that reminds me of a place that belongs at a old school mall food court. Nothing bad to review but cool to have at its own establishment. I was thrown off the moment I stepped in due to the ordering process of ordering then sit down like a fast food joint. Menu: Miso Soup lots of flavor. Veggies with chicken hibachi and egg fried Rice; lack of veggies and rich teriyaki sauce, generous amount of chicken with a scoop of rice. Pork Gyoza was good. Sushi very thin and tightly packed and no eel but rich with eel sauce. All in all a pleasant dining experience. read more

The food is as always wonderful. But the attitude from the owner is just unacceptable. She is beyond rude. If you ask a question she snaps at you, and if you check your takeout order and ask about an item she will snatch the bag from you. She doesn't seem to have an ounce of gratitude for her customers or business. She is a very unpleasant individual. I will not order again. read more

I just left there with a big order of the shrimp fried rice, california rolls, spicy crawfish rolls, and crab rangoons with yummy sauce. I called my order in and the woman on the phone said that the fried rice wouldnt any veggies and that was ok. It was ready within 10-15 min. The food is very good. The sushi was a bit smaller than I anticipated but I have no complaints on the taste. The fried rice though it didnt have veggies, was still delicious with the flavorful shrimp. Ive tried making my crab rangoon before and it didnt come out as good as these from Sakura Express. They are also very good with the yummy sauce. I cant speak too much on the customer service because I ordered take out but they were polite when I ordered over the phone and went to pick it up. 9/10 Recommend! I will be back one day! read more

This place is great. Ive been in Pascagoula for 2 weeks and have been here 3 times, every single time they dont disappoint. Food is always cooked great and very quick. read more

Good food but not much atmosphere. It is great for take out. I had the hibachi but the sushi looked good too.

Everyone is so nice and the food is so yummy and ready in a timely manner. You guys rock!

Customer service was astounding lady was very kind. To begin with this place is little but so cute. It was very neat and clean. I came with some friends to try it out. Additionally can I just say the food here is tasty and delicious every single thing in the bento box was to die for honestly. The chicken, dumplings, white rice and sushi . And I loved the presentation of the bento box, also loved it here so much it's to bad we were just visiting. I had to leave a very generous tip I honestly liked it so much. Furthermore I totally recommend trying this place out y'all won't regret it. read more

Don't let the outside fool you. Salmon lover special was delicious. Best sushi in the area. Reasonably priced and everything in the restaurant was super sterile almost hospital-like with how clean it was. The person with me ordered the hibachi and it was just as good. Comparable to Benihana or tepanyaki read more

Very very rude. Tried to place a single order with 4 rolls the lady kept saying it's more than one order and I kept telling her no 4 rolls one order. Then she hang up on me. Called back to try to again place the order yet the same woman hung up on me again. Pathetic. And sadly their sushi isn't that good well the sushi is but the rice falls apart. Stay away. read more

Best place to eat in Pascagoula! We eat here almost every week and the food is always delicious, Service is always wonderful, food is delivered to table extremely fast, and the place is SO clean. I am an avid sushi lover and this place has better sushi than all the high end sushi restaurants! Ocean roll and Sakura roll are top notch!! If you want a fried roll, the dynamite roll is delicious too!!! Give it a shot! You won't regret it. read more

Currently, (29 March 2021) because of the managements decision to totally protect the staff, the indoor dining has been suspended. This has caused the food service to be a little changed, but the ability to produce good Japanese hibachi, Japanese noodle, or Japanese rice dishes has not. Notice I said Japanese: This restaurant is committed to serving only food with a Nippon flavor. They do not do Chinese in any form (General Po's chicken does not march here), and the staff are very firm against making it when asked to do so. The absolute best item on the menu is its Bento Boxes. What I miss most from its indoor dining experience is the traditional black lacquer compartmented box, each holding its sacred entrée portions that Bento box lovers want. In the middle of that box stand the traditional Wasabi and pink leave mix, hiding its aromatic and heated kick in the mouth and throat when eaten. A warning to the new Japanese food eater: take only a small portion of the wasabi, about the size of a small pea into the mouth during dining. The traditional cooking of chicken, steak, and shrimp , or a combination of all listed, is performed when the dining room is open to view, and really shows off the skill of preparer. The food prepare is always hot, never over cooked, and if you call in ahead: ready for pick up between 10-15 minutes after ordering. The meals are identified by the telephone number: its not recommended to have your phone number hidden when ordering by phone, to speed your process. Open dining sushi preparation by the sushi chef, in my opinion could potentially train the person observing the process to doing it yourself. Its fun to watch, and the preparer makes many varieties. Prices vary: usually $8.00 for lunch items, $13.00-15.00 for dinner items. And yes, they give away wooden chopsticks with meal so you can try and eat as our Nippon friends in Japan do. I heartily recommend that when full inside dining is reinstated by the management, a visit with friends should be initiated. You will be glad you did. read more

Fast food and really good. We had a California roll and split the chicken hibachi. Will eat here again.

Good food for a good price! Especially for Military, Police Department or Ingalls workers. The discount and customers service keeps me coming back. read more

A-OK is exactly what this place is! Came in for a quick bite on lunch break trying to find a new lunch spot in the area. The restaurant is pretty spacious and has plenty of seats to sit in. Its great for quick lunches with co workers or friends. Pretty simple concept walk in go to the cashier and choose your food off the menu. The cashier will give you a number you put at your table and within minutes your food has arrived. They serve everything from fried noodles. Fried rice and sushi rolls. They have lunch specials as well what come with a drink from 11am-3. The place is cook to order so its a little different then your asian fast food you would find at the mall. I went ahead and ordered the lunch special which comes with grilled chicken and vegetables and also fried rice which I passed on. The wait was no longer then 10 minutes before I recieved my dish and the place was pretty packed. The chicken was grilled chicken breast cubes which was a decent amount with a nice array of grilled vegetables such as zucchini, broccoli, onions and carrots. The food tasted fine however I feel it was covered in to much of the sauce they use when grilling and the more you looked at it the food seemed it was drenched in the glaze. Other then that it was a quick fast lunch bite. So if your into typical fast food mall grilled items then this is the place for you! read more

Sakura Express - Grilled chicken veggie lunch special - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pascagoula, Mississippi

I have driven by Sakura Express numerous times while searching for a place to eat lunch. Had it not been for a recommendation by a co-worker, I would have never eaten here. The outside of the structure gives a very dated and cheap feel to the place. It looks like it opened up 10 years ago at strip mall in the Midwest. The owners of Sakura Express would be very wise to re-think how the outside of their restaurant looks. But like your momma told you, don't judge a book by its cover. The inside of the restaurant is very clean, spacious, and modern looking. One orders their food at the counter where the menu is displayed on a row of tvs. The food is all fairly priced, steak and shrimp and a drink only cost me $14. But don't let the express name, ordering experience, and the fair pricing fool you into thinking that the food is frozen and reheated. The food all taste very fresh. The Express part comes from how quickly your food will arrive. My steak and shrimp arrived a few minutes after I ordered it. The shrimp did not have an overpowering fishy taste that frozen shrimp will have. The sauce used for the meal was good and thick and really complimented the meal. The vegetables were also very tasty. The fried rice was just good fried rice. The sushi is also really appetizing and is definitely worth a try. If you are looking for good hibachi food during your lunch break. Then you have found it. read more

Place was a hit! 10% Military discount, awesome food, and good service. Came here during lunch, there was a light to moderate amount of people in here. Ordered the Yummy roll and the shrimp and steak fried rice and it was at my table within 10 min. The Food was on point. This is a Perfect little spot for lunch if your craving Japanese. I would come here again for sure. read more

I've eaten here a handful of times in the last few weeks. My son & I like their Bento Boxes as well as the Salmon Sashimi & the Salmon Sushi Lover's. Oh and I like the Clear soup & he likes the Miso soup. They're quick if you call in your order. Give them your cell number and can pick up your meal at the drive thru window 10 minutes later. Food is yummy and worth it. If I could I'd probably rate them 4.5 stars. read more

I've gotten take out from here 8 times. It is very delicious and I'm never disappointed with their vegetable soba and fried rice! Will eat here again. read more

No Sashmi or Nigiri at this spot. Pretty basic rolls, I was hoping for some Japanese beer at this spot, but nothing of the sort. Definitely a "Express" stop as you order your food from the counter and get a number. Overall food was average; service was a plus. I may return since there isn't a whole lot in this location sushi wise. read more

Only been here during lunch hours. Always got the same lunch special that came with a drink fried rice, grilled veggies and you get a choice of chicken, shrimp, or steak. They couple different items like sushi and bento boxes. Plenty of tables if you come with a group. They got one of our orders wrong and they had no problem correcting that and they gave us free appetizer and a free meal to go. Lunch time is probably their peak hours. Limited parking spaces, clean facility and great staffs. read more

My family had ordered from here while I was out of town so they brought me along on the next visit. The food was excellent and definitely worth a return trip. The lady who took our order left something to be desired. She acted like it was an intrusion on her time to take our orders. She was very curt and even upon calling back our order, asking her to fix it, she still did not and my husband did not get what he wanted. What he got he did eat and enjoy but he would have enjoyed it more had he got what he actually wanted. read more

The food is great here I love it! The costumer service is great I eat here all the time!!!!!

I would post a picture but I already ate half of my food lol. I'm sitting here eating at Sakura as I type this review. I've been here several times and each time the service is always amazing. The ladies at the cash register are always super kind! The environment with the inclusion of the decorations, calm music, and scenery all make this place my go-to. The food is never undercooked nor overcooked, so my compliments always go to the chefs. The best time to go is around 3-8 if you want less people to be in there. If you like the rush hour feel, go as soon as they open at 11-1. They also have a very detailed and easy-to-read menu with information about each item in case you have any questions. They have a 10% discount for first responders. I usually come before work at 12, and I 100% of the time always see people in their military uniform lol. Overall, a solid 10/10. The prices are low, the food is great, the employees are polite and helpful! Even during rush hour, I always seem to get my food in McDonald's time! Now it's time for me to continue eating lol, enjoy! read more

horrible customer service. just rude. food tasted frozen. hostile environment... yamatos is better.

Really hope this place right here stays open !! They have amazing dynamite roll that is to die for seriously so scrumptious & mouth watering. Along with the bento box steak , veggies, fried rice, dumplings , and let's not forget if you don't like the California roll you can switch it out for your choice of two dollars more ... read more

Absolutely amazing!! It was a lot better than I anticipated. They are very generous with their portions it's sooo much food! I am a vegetarian and we thought we found chicken in the spring rolls (it was cabbage lol) and they showed us the ingredients and even took responsibility for our silliness and made me another spring roll without being asked. We will definitely be back!!! read more

I'm so disappointed with the service here. The waitress refused to give me a lid for my little plastic container, when I was trying to bring home leftovers. She stated the owner doesn't allow dine in customers to get lids. This is after I paid $11 for my meal, ate lunch with 10 co-workers who also spent $10-15 each, and she provided me with a Styrofoam to-go box and a little plastic container for my sauce. Yet I was refused the lid for the container, which probably cost them $0.02. Please tell me why you would treat your customers this way? I won't be returning. read more
