    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.

    Scallop and shrimp teriyaki add chicken...i requested no vegetables

    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

    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.

    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.

    I am not a sushi eater. A large group of us met at Sushi Aka to celebrate a family member's…read morebirthday; I was not at all thrilled to go. Let me tell you, I had the best time and found several things to eat that I really enjoyed: the pulled pork dumplings, the spring rolls, the salad, the Cowboy roll, and a couple of other items. For a sushi lover, the place must be nirvana!! The food was beautiful and my family said it was absolutely wonderful. I ordered a bottle of CabSav, the Y series, and it was very good. Our server was helpful and knowledgeable. She was obviously a professional, as she handled our party of 12 with apparent ease with just a little help from some other staff. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very elegant, and the music they played was outstanding. I went in khaki shorts and a nice white T-shirt and I felt very comfortable.

    The sashimi was fabulous, as was the nigiri. I don't normally order rolls, but the meal I chose…read morecame with one, and I was pleasantly surprised by how wonderful it was. The chef and serving staff were amazing, and I truly enjoyed my dining experience. I sat at the bar, but the dining area was beautifully presented and would be perfect for a quiet meal with friends. The atmosphere reminded me of an out-of-the-way sushi restaurant in Tokyo--the kind of place locals know about and seek out. Everything came together to make this a memorable experience. I will definitely be going back!

    Great food! Chloe, our server, was attentive and kind. I grabbed a quick bite here the other day,…read moreand it did not disappoint. I had the spicy salmon roll, and a mango madness roll. The mango madness was excellent!! It had Spicy crab, cilantro, and mango inside. There was tuna and spicy mango sauce on top - yum!! They have several tables and seem to have a busy takeout presence. I'll definitely go back. There is so much to try!

    I came in and ordered the sashimi deluxe and let the waitress know ahead of time that I could not…read moreeat mackerel or white tuna because those fish do not sit well with my stomach. When the dish came out, it was basically a 50/50 split of salmon and tuna. Most other restaurants usually include more variety in their sashimi deluxe, such as shrimp, yellowtail, tilapia, or even krab, even with a substitution, so I was already a little disappointed. Overall the tuna looked quite gray in color, and the salmon was noticeably dry. Definitely not the quality I expected for the price. What really upset me was the bill at the end. The menu listed the sashimi deluxe at $25, but my check showed $33. I politely pointed this out to the waitress, and she said she would speak with the manager. When the manager came over, I was told that the waitress was new and that there is an extra charge for substitutions. The problem is that neither the waitress nor I was informed about this beforehand. What made the experience worse was the manager's attitude. She came across as rude and completely unconcerned when I explained why I was frustrated. I understand businesses have policies, but customers should be informed about additional charges before ordering, not surprised when the check arrives. I'm sharing this review so future customers are aware to ask questions about possible hidden or unexpected charges before ordering. Also, I just want to make a note that I have been coming to Nana, since Panera Bread was still next door, so this change in food quality, prices, and service is very disappointing.

The restaurant has a quiet, relaxed atmosphere, which makes it a nice place to take your time and enjoy your meal. I also love the all-you-can-eat option--you can order what you want and have it freshly prepared as you go. Freshly made sushi, a peaceful atmosphere, quick service and plenty of choices. A great spot when you want to enjoy sushi without feeling rushed.

    Since I was craving sushi and looking for a good spot in Chesapeake to go to, I stumbled upon…read moreSakura. As we pulled in, the sign said, "All You Can Eat" and I definitely missed that memo. If I would've known it was AYCE, I probably would've chosen another sushi spot. Because we were already there, we decided to try it out. We were seated right away and given menus. For about $30, you could order anything off the menu between 3-9pm, which is a great price. Most of the Sushi Rolls were either fried or included imitation crab or cream cheese, which I'm not a huge fan of in my sushi, so I tried to find rolls that didn't have any of those things, which was a challenge. I decided on the Rainbow Roll & Greenbrier Roll with Yellowtail and Salmon Sashimi. The Sashimi was very fresh, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Sushi Rolls were okay. They would've been 10x better without the imitation crab. We also tried the Beef Short Ribs but they didn't wow me. Overall, we made the best of our time there. I loved the decor and they played really nice music. I gave 4 Stars because you definitely can't beat the price, the Sushi was fresh and the staff were very nice but I probably won't be returning. If you love imitation crab in your sushi, this spot is definitely the place for you lol!
