Ordered 3 sushi rolls (Philadelphia roll, spicy salmon roll, and cheesy kani roll). Was amazing!! Probably best sushi I have had in a good while, fish tasted fresh and cream cheese was very creamy! Although I would highly recommend ordering online before, due to them being very busy on a Tuesday night and I waited about 40mins read more

This is my family's go-to sushi spot. We did a timed pick up order, got there a few minutes early and it was already ready. We've never had an issue with any of our orders. We typically get sushi but have had the hibachi meals as well. We prefer the sushi. The dining area is now open, since it was closed off for quite some time after the pandemic. We've never had an issue with any of the staff and the service has always been good. read more

Fast yummy affordable - tons of food. Thank you very happy. Everyone was nice ...................

The service and overall quality of the food was excellent. The efficiency in wait times of the food from restaurant to door dash to my job was less than the estimated time! read more

the food was dry...also it was suppose to be a large they put more rice under the meat to make it look like a larger instead of adding more meat..I'm so disappointed because this was my 2nd time trying it the first time I got a small thisbtime I got a large and got a plate full of rice read more

I ordered vegetable tempura. The batter was gross and the vegetables tasted bitter and rubbery. Please change the frying oil.

Great shrimp, tempura and fried rice are also very good. Good clean wholesome environment read more

I ordered scallop and shrimp teriyaki and added $2 worth of chicken, NO VEGETABLES. Over $17! Check out the picture of what I received. Then when I called they asked if I can just take them out myself. I told them no and wanted to bring it back. I was welcomed back to a bit of an attitude and who knows what else. Do yourself a favor and take heed to these reviews. Don't patronize this spot read more

Sakura Express - Scallop and shrimp teriyaki add chicken...i requested no vegetables - Japanese Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

Okay. If you're in a hurry, here's the skinny on Sakura Express (SE): thumbs up on their Sakura Special (SS), but skip the sushi. If you have time, here's my slightly longer review... We are regulars at Little Caesars next door, and when I spotted a new sushi restaurant opening up, my oldest was excited. We decided to check it out yesterday. The interior is nice and clean, with several tables. You order at the counter, pay, and then wait until they call you. SE is fast food, but it definitely took a bit longer than most--maybe 15 to 20 minutes. The service was friendly, and it was fun to watch the cooks prepare the food. California Roll- These were mediocre with way too much cucumber, overpowering everything else in the roll. 3* Spicy Shrimp Roll- My oldest ordered these and he said the filling was mushy and indescribable with an odd flavor--not very spicy, either. 2* Miso Soup- Does anyone else think that miso soup tastes like ham? Maybe it's just me. SE's miso was decent, although my oldest felt it needed some salt. 3.5* Sakura Special Teriyaki Style with Chicken- This is the best thing on their menu. The SS comes with protein (chicken, steak, tilapia, shrimp, scallops, salmon, and combinations), fried rice, carrots and your choice of Hibachi Style (mushrooms and zucchini) or Teriyaki Style (broccoli and zucchini). It comes in regular or large and the regular is a nice, large portion. Everything tasted fresh, especially the vegetables! 4* We all agreed that we will return for the Special, but skip the sushi. The SS are a great value, tasty, and fairly healthy--a nice change from fast food. read more

Tucked in the middle of a busy strip mall, Sakura Express offers teriyaki, hibachi, and sushi on a fast food scale. Help yourself to beverages. The restaurant is clean and service is ok. My husband and I ordered two of the same- chicken and steak teriyaki. A little light on the protein but the veggies were fresh. The peas in the rice lost their color. Overall with it being fast food it was ok. read more

I go here often. Fast service. Great sushi. The sushi/sashimi combo platter is great. 2 or 3 classic roll special is also good. Not so into their spider rolls though. Recommend. read more

Super convenient, ordered over the phone and picked it up at their window in store, food was good and wait was only a few minutes.

Great sushi, all you can eat and made to order, the spicy tuna hand rolls were amazing!!

Amazing service, the food is always fresh especially their sushi !! The people are always nice !!

I'm truly disappointed in this restaurant. I will not be eating here ever again. The customer service was terrible, that was a red flag. I asked about the sushi rolls and how many you get per order. The guy seemed really annoyed with my question and answered unsure. I ended up ordering the volcano rolls. It was the most disgusting volcano rolls I've ever tasted. I wasted 8 dollars. I also got the California rolls, I was not impressed whatsoever. Out of everything I ordered, they gave me one order of wasabi and ginger. Just one. I've had better sushi from the grocery store. I do NOT recommend this place. 1 star was generous. read more

The sushi here is excellent. I have been here several times and have always had good food. My only suggestion would be having people taking orders that are a little more friendly and personable. That is that only reason I gave four stars. read more

Sakura Express - Japanese Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

This restaurant is tucked in the middle of what has become a very busy strip mall. It's an attempt, a meager attempt, to bring Chinese/Japanese dining to fast food. It's all about the rice. Rice. A staple of Chinese and Japanese cuisine. But not well executed here. I could swear it has the texture and moisture content of instant rice. I can't forgive that. It goes downhill from there. Many foods are covered in sauces to add moisture and flavor to otherwise dry and flavorless food. That said, I am possibly more critical than others. If you can endure average (Americanized) Chinese/Japanese food, you might enjoy Sakura Express. But if you can travel about a half mile south, try China Moon Chinese restaurant. read more

AMAZING! For fast food Japanese. Amazing sushi and sashimi! Will definitely be back! Now if your thinking this will be as good as the 30.00 a plate dinners... it's not too far from it DEFINITELY worth the $8.50 we paid for the steak and shrimp hibachi combo! People are friendly sushi was awesome! read more

I've Only been there once and I Got a spicy salmon. It was delicious. Service was quick and friendly. Nice take out option in Suffolk.

The food quality has gone down from when they first opened. Also, the customer service has declined. I waited to try it two times to see if it was just one bad visit but it has been a pattern. read more

Sashimi was cut well. Sushi was very tasty. Hibachi steak and veggies were delicious. The fried rice was a little underwhelming. I didn't eat much of it at all. read more

Food is good especially the hibachi, good price, great flavor. Staff isn't rude, but I like that they aren't just clones of customer service. It's not as good as any actual hibachi place where they make it in front of you if course, but for fast food it is practically gourmet read more

Horrible Horrible Horrible customer service! The latest cashier is very rude! He gets annoyed if you ask any questions about your order. He smacks his lips while you are placing your order! I used to enjoy eating here with my family but I refuse to spend my money at a restaurant where the cashier is yelling, annoyed and using inappropriate language! Other customers feel the same way! Of course, you can go and experience the abuse for yourself! read more

Shumai is absolutely flavorless. Even "spicy" selections are not all that spicy. Fried veggies are good. Hibachi and teriyaki just tasted like wok died meat. Hard to tell the difference between hibachi and teriyaki Good spring roll. read more

wouldn't recommend if you're looking for quality. ordered a steak+shrimp hibachi recently, steak didn't taste like steak on top of not fully cooked, mushrooms tasted old. save yourself the trouble but to each is own read more

On 26 January 2019, I posted a very critical review of Sakura... On that date I had a horrible experience and honestly never expected the owner, Mr. Lin, to respond to my phone call or text message, much less to make things right. Not only did Mr. Lin respond, apologize and make things right, but he invited me back and I had lunch at Sakura today. I got to meet Mr. Lin personally and had a fantastic lunch! The sushi and sushi rolls were super fresh and the soup was great too! While my initial review reflected a very sad previous experience, today's second chance was truly delicious and enjoyable. Highly recommend this restaurant and genuinely appreciated today's wonderful food and experience! Kelli Cole Suffolk, VA read more

Tried sushi express for the first time. Delicious! Fast and friendly service. Highly recommend it read more

Sakura Express - Japanese Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

The food was "meh." Nothing exciting to report on either the sushi or hibachi front. Miso soup was so diluted it might as well have been dishwater. For a fast-food type experience it was adequate. That said, the service was horrible...the young man working was so rude that I wonder if he had some sort of Tourette syndrome. Between his under-breath mutterings, dirty looks, and general "I'd much rather be somewhere else" attitude, I'm assuming he's the owner's son, and un-fireable. I'm a tough person to piss-off, but he managed to do it in under 10 minutes. read more

I like how this is a "Japanese takeout" kind of place. This place is very clean and the food is really good. Will make this a repeat spot. The sushi is good and they make a really good hibachi chicken read more

The food is expensive. The taste is lacking!!! Teriyaki salmon had zero flavor. Thank goodness for siracha. Bothered!!! Don't eat here

Good portions bad taste, I ordered teriyaki and broccoli special (it was extremely bland and watery like soup) don't waste your time or money. read more

Loved the sushi but the service sucks . Every time I come here the young cashier has a nasty attitude and puts my money & receipt on the counter!! that is just plan out rude!! It's ashame I will take my coins somewhere else. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in town. The staff is also pretty friendly after you go a few times. I love the sushi and I've never been disappointed by anything in here. And they usually have coupons on Groupon so that is nice. read more

When they first opened it was really good but gradually the quality went down, way waaay down. I recently ate there with my husband and the food was bland and disgusting. If I could give zero stars I would but I can't so one star for this place it is. The fried rice tasted like regular white rice and the chicken was bland I couldn't even eat it. This is a complete waste of money. The mochi ice cream is really the only thing good about this place, honestly I could just go buy some at the Asian grocery store. I ordered the teriyaki chicken and it sucks so bad I don't know what else to say. read more

Sakura Express - Bland nasty "teriyaki" chicken. - Japanese Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

This place is brand new, so I hope there is room for improvement. The staff is nice enough, but they don't go above and beyond. The chicken and steak hibachi was a HUGE portion! The steak was very chewy and not so edible, the chicken and rice was ok, and the veggies were really good. The part that will make me possibly not return is that the sushi is cooked! We ordered the Super Salmon and the Awesome Tuna rolls. There was nothing super or awesome about it. The salmon and tuna that were on top of the rolls was cooked, and it made everything inside warm too. It was just warm mush which stinks, because the quality of the fish seemed pretty good. There was nothing that said seared or cooked on the menu either, so we were incredibly disappointed. read more

Horrible customer service! Ordered 2 large dinners and asked that one not mix the veggies with the meat as my daughter doesn't eat either the broccoli, zucchini or mushrooms, just put it on the side. Owner chick says no either order no veggies or order a separate side of veggies.. Huh? What? I can have it without the veggies I'm paying for or mixed? No other option? Makes no sense! She was short and rude and just very nonchalantly walks off. If I'm paying for it I should be able to get it how I prefer since it isn't inconveniencing you at all. I guess a simple act on the customers part is too much to ask. She just ruined dinner for a minute with her attitude but I'll pick the veggies out for my little girl since it was too much not mix it for these losers. read more
