The food is authentic heaven!!! Prices Are fair and I would eat there everyday if I could afford the calories. Light & steamed dishes are sooo flavorful and filling. This place is all you need. read more

Always good food. Kind wait staff. We eat here at least once a month. They do the sushi fresh!

The chicken dumplings hit the spot. The provided sauce is very good. I think they put lime in it. Habachi entrees were ok. But just as good as any other neighborhood Habachi place. Visited during the Covid-19 Pandemic to support small businesses! Sakura has a drive through window which is normally there, an employee brought my food out to my car (had to park and wait less than 5 minutes after ordering - they were slammed) I was very impressed, everyone I spoke with confirmed my order and were very friendly. read more

In a town with few dining options, Sakura offers good hibachi at reasonable prices. Sakura has a good meu with various offerings of plates of rice, proteins, and vegetables. I usually order the steak and chicken. The vegetables add good flavor to the overall dish. The rice could be better while the shrimp sauce could also stand a makeover. read more

The last time I ate at this place I got food poisoning. The food is way to expensive for what you get. The sushi is not good at all. Will not return. read more

Usually a place that branches out into multiple types of food doesn't do anything particularly well, but this place has it. We ordered a large order with coworkers. I tried the pad Thai, extremely dubious, but was totally proven wrong! It was great! Flavorful, loaded with chicken and veggies, perfect amount of sauce. It was a near perfect Pad Thai. My coworkers all rave about their Pho and curries too! read more

The problem here is inconsistency. Sometimes it's really good others it's kind of bland and flavorless. I do like the fire cracker roll and that's my go to. Skip the crab rangoons there's some better at Asian Wok down the road. read more

The fried dumplings are so awesome and though chicken tops the veggie, both superb and worth the trip to Spindale!

If you guys are in search for some great fresh food or sushi, this is the place. They have a variety on the menu and some amazing sushi which they can modify to your satisfaction, that also goes for the entrees and appetizers. The restaurant is kee up and clean, the workers are energetic and fun. Great place for family groups. They stay busy with their drive-thru, call ins, take outs.. Again if you guys are looking for something quick to grab and fresh, this is the spot! Absolutely love the sushi read more

Great food!! Crazy fast!! If you eat inside or get food to go they are very fast. They have a drive up window so you can order in advance and just pull up to get your food or order through the drive thru and pull back around when your food is ready. The staff is always so friendly and nice. The food is delicious and a great deal for the price. My favorite is the teriyaki chicken dish and their salmon is awesome! We love this place. For Japanese food definitely the best in the County in our opinion read more

When I get my cravings for sushi I immediately run to Sakura. Fast and friendly service is a plus and their food is made fresh. There is no waitress service as you order and pay for your meal at the register. Your food is brought to your table. The food is very good. Our family faves are, crunchy roll, California roll, volcano roll, chicken teriyaki, fried rice and extra shrimp sauce. Delicious!! read more

Traveling through west of Shelby. We were hungry and sort of lost. Ran into this Japanese express place and thought why not. We'll give this place a shot....we were pretty hungry. The food came out quick and prices are reasonable. I ordered steak and chicken. To my surprise, it was better than some Japanese steakhouse. Had a couple of sushi rolls and they were good. Both of our servers was nice and the manager/owner was friendly. Glad we stopped in because there seems to be only fast food franchise in this town. Quick and prompt and we were able to find and got to our destination on time... FORE!!! made our tee time :) read more

This place is in a smart little location! I absolutely love their wings! Friendly customer service

Great place for takeout as well as eating in with friends. Not a fine dining establishment but the food has always been delicious and the place is very clean! Sushi is made to order and tastes very fresh. Tempura sampler and teriyaki plate is also very good. Very large servings. read more

Best Japanese food in town! Great sushi, always fresh, always tasty. I tend to get a small sushi roll and a side of teriyaki broccoli--fantastic! read more

Great location and very friendly service, the food is excellent. My favorite so far is the hibachi or teriachi chicken.

The food is good and the price is reasonable. I've been there twice and I'll go back again.

Been here more than a dozen times thinking it would get better but only gets worse. Food has no flavor. Why do they ask how you want your steak when the only way they cook it is well down. Sushi is the only thing worth your time here. read more

Best Japanese food in county! Sushi is fresh and delicious. Shrimp is awesome. Service is fast and friendly

If Sakura Express was consistent I could easily give them a 5, but I can't give them a 5 because they can't seem to get their broccoli done enough to eat. A lot of times their chicken and steak is really tough. There are times when we go there it's really good and sometimes it is really awful. They haven't had tender meat in a long time and they need to start having more tender chicken and steak. They must cook their broccoli until it is done! It's too close to being raw. It would be great if they used organic meats and vegetables then this review would be a 5 if they'd get their vegetables a bit more done. They are convenient for us but their food has got to start getting better and if they don't, they are going to begin to lose many customers and we used to eat there 2-3 times a week, now it's more like twice a month and the last time we got raw broccoli we said we were going to stop eating there period. So far we've stuck to it. read more
