    Chicken Bento Box
    Irving R.

    This was a good spot. I got the chicken bento box with the chicken dumplings instead of California rolls. The chicken had a good char on it that is so necessary for that wok hei. The dumplings were tasty too. I'd come back to this place for sure.

    Sashimi Combo
    Nephthalie E.

    This review is based on ordering out through delivery apps such as Uber eats and door dash. I have ordered from here and the location in Harrison quite a few times over the past year and usually order the chicken or shrimp teriyaki. I have no complaints regarding those meals! The portions are very generous! I usually have left overs for the next days. I've never had issues with my order. My order always comes correct and I'm the estimated time. Today I ordered the 16 piece sashimi combo that come with a side of miso soup. I also got a side of eel sauce because what's sushi without delicious eel sauce?!? The combo includes yellowtail, tuna, salmon, and octopus, squid and white fish. The miso was really good and tasted fresh. The sashimi was really good as well. No complaints. Everything was delicious!

    Shrimp Roll
    Cynthia A.

    Wanted a quick afternoon bite and I was already in the plaza so I decided to try Sakura. The first thing that I noticed was that it was a beautiful, new and modern venue. It was not busy at all, I immediately got to order my food as soon as walked in. I walked in with the intention of ordering the spicy shrimp roll from browsing through the menu on Yelp but was told they don't sell that. So I would advise they update their menu. I ended up ordering a regular shrimp roll and (keep in mind I'm not sushi expert ) but I thought it was good. Nothing too special. The place was very clean. They stocked one corner with plenty of utensils, hot sauce, and to go condiment containers so that was very convenient. There's plenty of parking because it's in a large plaza shared by other businesses and Shoprite

    The teriyaki here is delicious and eve portions are nice. You can get chicken, tofu, shirt or beef for $5.59 a $6.59 or combo them up to about $10.50, so not a bad deal. Great smoothies and you can mix the flavors. The place is really inviting with big windows in the front, so when you're sitting down the place is well lit without a lot of artificial light during the day. There's stool seating right near the window, a long bench along the right wall under some nice ethnic set work, and small tables that seat 4 scattered throughout the place. As soon as you walk in you can see fresh sushi being made and then the grill is right behind that to the right of the register. The one thing that I have always loved about this place is that you get to see your food, and everyone else's being prepared. For a place that doesn't wait tables, the tables are always clean the staff is really nice. As far as the food goes, the taste is spot on and filling. All the dishes come with rice or noodles and a side of veggies if you'd like, so it's very well balanced. It is teriyaki and sushi, a really simple menu, so if you're looking for more, you gotta go elsewhere. I love it, it's worth it and the smoothies are very good as well.

    EMT Roll
    Camille N.

    I literally live right by this place so when I do go is quick and easy. The food here is nothing special really. I usually grab a bite here when theres nothing in the house mainly or I don't feel like cooking. I have to say the EMT rolls from here are actually pretty good , they are just very pricey so I don't get them very often. Other than the rolls I come here for chicken teriyaki or shrimp teriyaki which is decent just like the rest of sakura japan's i've been to in new jersey. The place is is always clean and organized so that's a plus and they're quick with the orders. I have this place 3 stars because of the food , which I think is decent to me.

    They deliver!
    Lauren S.

    This place deserves 10 stars for their super fast delivery. We ordered online from Grub Hub, and it told us to expect an hour wait. Our door bell rang just 20 minutes later! Is this an independent sushi restaurant, or Jimmy Johns? My roommates wanted to go out for sushi, but I had the flu, and they didn't want to leave me, so they looked up sushi places that deliver. We had never heard of this place, and the fact that they had bubble tea sealed the deal. Being sick, I obviously had no desire for sushi, but bubble tea? Yes please. The best part of the bubble tea is that they let you mix flavors, which is always a plus. I got coconut-mango with tapioca pearls, and it was one of the best bubble teas I've ever had (almost as good as The Tea Garden in St. Paul, MN). Not too sweet, but exploding with flavor. The tapioca pearls were the perfect texture, too. I'd order from here again just for the tea. (Note that all their bubble teas use dairy.)

    Chris V.

    I come here when I want to each chicken rice and veg. They give you a big portion for around $6 and the food is really good. Around lunch time the line is long so I try to come after or later at night. I have not tried the sushi. In my picture I posted I got lo mein which is good just add .50 cent

    Saw two mices running inside the hefty seats. But food is still smack though. Plenty of seating just be wary of your own feet.

They're always rolling out special items and you can truly taste the heart and soul in everything they make. A very homey and welcoming neighborhood gem. *Taiwanese Fried Chicken Bagel $10 *** If you love basil, you'll be happy to know they use fresh basil to make the spread. I happily devoured it and immediately craved more. Unfortunately it's a limited item, so be sure to check their ig stories or dm them to find out the next available date. *Prosciutto Youtiao Sandwich $15 * Crispy youtiao with prosciutto, burrata and pineapple jam. This unexpected combo actually works so well! *Taro French Toast with Boba $16.5 ** If this is your first time here, ORDER THE FRENCH TOAST. I literally get it every time--the milk tea French toast is perfectly brûléed and topped with taro paste, boba, whipped cream, and salted egg yolk bits. All my favorites in one bite. *Taiwanese Braised Pork Belly $16 * Fatty and full of gelatin, giving that sticky-lips feeling after eating it. I love that their lu rou fan comes with a soft-boiled ramen egg instead of a hard boiled one, and the pickled mustard greens on the side are my favorite part. *Taiwanese Milk Crumb Toast $5 New item! We tried this test version of 奶酥吐司, and it was lowkey addictive. The bread pulled apart just like shokupan. So soft and fluffy.

    Food 3/5 Service 4.5/5…read more Ambience 3/5 Value 4/5 I really wanted to love Tiam Tiam because the presentation is pretty good, but the execution was a bit inconsistent. On the plus side, the hospitality is top-notch; we loved the complimentary Taiwanese kimchi and dessert, and the portion sizes are generous Pork Belly over Rice (4.25/5): The standout! It was packed with flavor, though on the oily side Soft Shell Crab (3.5/5): The crab was well-prepared, but the avocado pairing muted the flavor, making it a bit bland Taiwanese Fried Chicken over Rice (3/5): This was surprisingly sweet for a savory entree, which others may like that Century Old Egg Tofu (2/5): A miss for me, it was served cold and the sauce pairing didn't really work Great service and a lovely vibe overall

The restaurant is super tiny but had great music playing the whole night. They also have a little convenience section with packaged snacks and drinks which was super cute. My friends and I ordered the 10 piece Huancaina Roll, Leche de Tigre Maki Roll, and the 10 piece Maki Parillero Roll. To be honest the Huancaina Roll didn't have much flavor and it was pretty bland compared to the other two rolls so it wasn't my favorite. But if you love Peruvian Ceviche you're going to LOVE the Leche de Tigre Maki roll. The fish was so fresh and flavorful. The reallllll show stopper was the 10 Piece Maki Parillero roll. It was AMAZING! The sliced beef tataki just melts in your mouth and the chimichurri was just an absolute chefs kiss. I kid you not I could've eaten two orders of just that roll and called it a day. Although the service was a bit slow with ordering and getting the food, I still want to go back and try more of the menu because the menu is hugeeee!

The first roll I got was so chewy and there was so much mushy rice mixed with way too much mayo it was pretty unpleasant. I threw out that roll after trying to eat 2 pieces. The California roll I got was okay, it just tasted petty bland. Like it had been sitting in a fridge premade for hours but I think they made it there so not sure how that happens. I also ordered online but they claimed they didn't have my order when I got there and had to convice them via email receipt that I ordered and waited like 25 mins longer than I needed to while they made it. Otherwise I mean the staff was okay I guess... they didn't do anything overtly offputting. Price is, well, low... so i guess that's why it's an "it is what it is".
