We received a flyer in the mail from this restaurant and decided to try it. Actually, it's right on old Keene Mill so it's easy to find despite the address listed. It's very small, despite the large menu, clean and calm and unpretentious. We had the lunch specials- I tried the shrimp tempura bento box. The batter was light and crisp, and not overly greasy, a large portion of rice, miso soup, which was quite nice, etc. as listed on the menu. Staff was delightful. We will certainly return. Had I not found it in the mail box we probably would never have gone there or noticed it. read more

this place is amazing! It is a hidden gem. I come here pretty often for dinner, everytime I come, the staff is always friendly, attentive. I always order sushi and I get surprised everytime (I've been trying different rolls) Tonight I had a Hot Lover roll, it shocked me! the shrimp is always cooked in a good temperature, crispy, and it has spicy salmon as well which is a mild flavor and both the salmon and shrimp go well together making it a very special taste, flavorful and simply delicious. I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a good sushi place (which is safe and they care about your health, everything looks nice and neat) Looking forward to trying their new role Dancing Witch, it sounds interesting, specially for halloween season! read more

Sakura Grill - Hot Lover Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Burke, Virginia

I never write comments on restaurants, but I must today. If you like sushi, DO NOT come here. This Sakura in Burke, VA, has the poorest excuse for fish. It doesn't even look like fish. And they hide it by adding the word "Crunchy" to their rolls. This means they burry fish meal in bread crumbs and then roll it in rice. I had no choice but to return 6 rolls our family of 5 ordered. Our server tried to be accommodating. She did try to explain what "Crunchy" means at this Sakura. We will never ever return. They gave us a 10% discount on $150 bill. read more

Very nice little spot that has very good sushi and dinners. We've been several times for lunch and dinner and always enjoyed it.

I've had great service every time without fail and many times I've felt that they've gone above and beyond especially when I've been in with the grandkids. read more

Great service and food. Our chef was excellent and kept us entertained for 30 minutes. Will be back!

Ordered the 3 roll lunch special, an additional crunchy spicy salmon roll, and the sushi/sashimi lunch combo (not pictured) for take out. The sashimi was sliced in thick and sizable pieces and the rolls were also fairly generous with the fish to rice ratio. Although it was a pricier lunch, it was a good meal for two! read more

Sakura Grill - Crunchy Spicy Salmon Roll, Salmon Avocado Roll, Yellowtail Scallion Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Burke, Virginia

Wow. I am in this shopping center all the time and never stopped in. My husband told me a few weeks ago he had lunch there and it was great. This week i decided to try it. I rarely write reviews and rarely eat sushi..... i doordashed Sakura 3 times since Tuesday and ate in the restaurant once this week. So SO good. I cant get enough! I love the spicy crunchy shrimp rolls and the shrimp tempura rolls. My husband loves the dynamite roll and the yellowtail, salmon and octopus sashimi. Everything is so fresh! May go back tomorrow! read more

Wow. I've ordered and ate here soooo many times and completely forgot to give this place its well deserved 5 stars. In comparison to other sushi places, this is the best in near Burke. I love love love the food! read more

This is my go to sushi place in Burke. The prices are reasonable and it's really tasty.

Super impressed with my delivery order! They followed the special instructions (I have current dietary restrictions) which is extremely important to me- especially when ordering sushi. Shrimp tempura roll- came in huge thick slices. The lettuce was something different and gave it a nice addition. I asked for spicy mayo and they honored the request- so delicious. Avocado roll: huge pieces of fresh avocado stuffed into the rolls gave it excellent taste and value. Gyoza: deep fried and came with gyoza dipping sauce- very tasty! Bottom line: taste and quality will definitely have me ordering here again!! read more

It looks like there's been a change in management and staff recently. But I've dined in a few times in the last couple weeks and their flavors and quality are excellent and consistent each time. Great presentation and very friendly staff. I'm picky about sashimi but their sashimi is very fresh. I get the yellowtail and jalapeño appetizer every time. It comes in a sweet and savory sauce. It's so good I always indulge immediately and forget to take a photo. I will be back often! read more

Don't be tricked to think that it is the Sakura with the hibachi table. They make it in the back. The inside of the restaurant is pretty small with 5-7 tables and 1 server who seems to do everything therefore, the service was very slow. Food was meh... I was hoping for nice hot hibachi but my veggies were cold and steam was so chewy. Sushi was okay... it didn't have much texture. Chicken teriyaki box was okay. The chicken was again, on the cold side. read more

The restaurant service is so terrible, slow and wrong response for the customers. We waited over half hour for the food. Some Door dash & Uber Deliver argued with the owner at the front of desk. Becuase the food cooking too slowly. read more

We used to love coming here. Now the food tastes like it had been sitting for hours when we order pickup. And it's pricey. Didn't even consume our $60 worth of food. We won't be going back anymore. read more

Probably the worst "sushi" I've ever had in my life, Fish color was off as was the taste, soft shell crab was dry, lacked any type of flavor other than day old worn out. Looking at some of the pictures posted here makes me wish I had THAT sushi chef. It's clear something as changed and in decline. Sadly there was not ONE redeeming item in my order. Never again. read more

NYE and didn't want to cook so scanned Uber Eats wanting something different than our usual Thai or Chinese. I ordered 2 vegetable tools and my boyfriend ordered 3 with seafood. Everything was absolutely delicious. I am so happy we found Sakura Grill...which will be our new go to. read more

Such wonderful service and delicious sushi! So happy to have found this restaurant! Even better that it is close to home.

Living in Burke is challenging if you enjoy dining out! When I saw an ad for Sakura Grill, I jumped out of my seat ready to test out the dining experience. Since there are so many 'Sarku's and Sakura's', I wasn't sure who was part of whom, etc... The reviews were positive, but I hesitated for dinner. My friend and I took in the lunch experience. It's a small place located in the Shoppers Strip Mall. Parking is on the iHop side of the shopping center. The location is very small. The staff seated us right away. They offer lunch specials that include Bento boxes and sushi lunches. We went with one of each. My tempura included 2 shrimp and 4 pieces of yams/potatoes. The shrimp was the perfect crispness. The Bento included 4 tiny California-ish rolls, 3 gyoza and rice. Included in the lunch meal is your choice of soup OR salad. The salad had a very creamy dressing that I enjoyed. I also ordered their Salmon Skin roll($5). I was not a fan of this. I test out every Japanese-ish place by ordering my fav roll. There was no crispy to this skin, in fact, it was quite fishy tasting. My friend ordered the 2 choice sushi lunch($9) that included soup OR salad. She say that the tuna was very fresh. Service was very good. The staff kept checking on us and provided drink refills as needed. This place is good in a pinch since it's close to home. read more

FOOD POISONING! DO NOT LET THE 4 1/2 STARS FOOL YOU!! Do not let the ratings fool you, whoever reviewed this clearly does not know what good sushi is! Me and hubby were looking for a good place to eat sushi and narrowed it down to this place due to the high ratings. Hubby knew just by the look of this place that it wasn't going to be good but insisted anyway because I chose the place. Mind you, the place is very small inside with limited tables and seating. The waitress confused me for someone else and almost seated us with strangers. After realizing that she told us we can sit anywhere we'd like. It took her a while to get our drink orders and there weren't even utensils set on the table. She gave us menus but it took a long time for her to come check on us at least 10 mins. We had to order all at once because that's how long she took. For appetizers we ordered gyoza and rock shrimp. The gyoza and rock shrimp were superb, great. Just like your typical Japanese restaurant. Although the gyoza wasn't crispy on the bottom. The rock shrimp had a decent amount of mayo on it not too overwhelming. For sushi we were going to decide on individual rolls but hubby insisted on getting the sushi sashimi combo for 2. The waitress was able to customize our order and add rolls such as the volcano and the black dragon roll. We finished our appetizers quickly as we were starving and it took a long time for our sushi to be finished. Finally, a huge boat of sashimi and sushi arrives and it looks delicious! NOTE: LOOKS DELICIOUS! We dig in and honestly it's not as great as you'd think it'd be. It tasted terrible, fake, artificial. We tried to finish everything as this entire boat was $55. But everything just tasted sickening. The waitress was barely there to check on us as well. The sushi we got that was supposed to be deep fried was just cold like it's been sitting there as they took their time prepping the sashimi. It wasn't until the end of our unfortunate dinner that the waitress started checking on us more. Right after we leave hubby started feeling sick. Then later that night he began experience stomach pain and cold sweats then puked. :/ He's still recovering even when I'm writing this. FYI, I didn't get sick because I mostly ate the cooked sushi and only a few of the raw ones. But I of course didn't eat the raw ones because of how terrible it tasted. Unfortunate, will not come here again. This experience was just disappointing. read more

Their lunch combos are nice. The fish is fresh and tasty. The service is friendly. I thought the miso soup was a little "meh", but since it's kind of a freebie it's no big deal. I wish they had more unusual sushi options, the choices are a little boring. But again, they're fresh and tasty, so that's a plus! read more

Amazing Everything! This establishment has been here for around 5 years so they're the "new kid on the sushi block," locally. A quaint small space, which includes a sushi bar. Very Clean! The menu has a wonderful variety of what's expected for sushi + dining . Happy, friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of parking. Situated in the front of the shopping center. We've had a variety of their offerings and everything has been fresh and on point. A definite recommendation! read more

I needed a quick late lunch before an appointment and stopped into the Sakura Grill. Saw the strong reviews on yelp and thought I'd give it a try. I was just beyond the 3pm lunch menu cutoff so I had to order from the dinner menu. I went for the Spicy Maki Roll Combo. The salad was basic per the usual but the veggies were fresh and the creamy dressing was tasty. I was disappointed in the rolls, however. There was way too much crispy tempura flakes inside and not much fish. I'd honestly rather have just raw fish even if the roll would be a bit smaller. I usually don't mind the extra crunch at all but this was off balance. Can't help but too feel a little cheated - like it was there to provide more filler and allow for less fish. At any rate, service was fast and place was clean. I'm willing to give it another shot. read more

Great sushi and great service. Huge variety of rolls and the tempura had 6 shrimps. Very good.

Retired US Army Sergeant Major who have been to 32 countries. I've had my fair share of sushi and sea food. I can honestly state that this was the best seafood I've ever had in my life. Excellent service and the half off sushi from 5:00 to 5:30 is spectacular. read more

Service was friendly but Sushi was average at best. Ordered the lunch special (3rolls) and the avocado wasn't fresh nor was the ginger. Inside was super dark and overall not welcoming. I imagine it's ok if your not really into sushi. read more

Take out is pretty decent and food was tasty. I went during the height of COVID so you may be able to sit inside now.

My hubby enjoys the steak and scallop hibachi and for my daughter, the chicken katsu and the shrimp teriyaki for me.. Take out is only available during the pandemc. This is this is my go to place when I don't feel like cooking. read more

Great food, horrible service. OVER PRICED DINNER ONLY GO FOR LUNCH. Proton size are exactly the same. If it wasn't for the food being very tasty I would be giving a one star. The food is absolutely delicious. Probably would only go back for lunch or take out DURING lunch. Dinner is definitely not worth it. Steak or chicken you can't go wrong with either. A must try if you're in the area! Make sure to go for lunch only! read more

Fantastic!! Sushi is always fresh and it's a great place to sit down for a quick lunch!

Only take out (no dine-in), and the food is not as good as other nearby sushi restaurants.
