The fish is always fresh and the sushi chefs always makes a great presentation! I recommend trying the omakase where they use the freshest fish of the day. The sake options are phenomenal and different. The green tea is a must for a cold day. read more

Sakura - Naruto roll without rice. Tasty and healthy - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pelham, New York

A somewhat recent addition to the low turnover Pelham dining scene, this sushi den is a welcoming presence on Fifth Avenue. The bento boxes are delightful and the sushi is a definite cut above Pelham Palace. While competition is scarce, this is the best in Pelham for now. read more

First time here. Staff is not attentive we were sitting for about 15 minutes before we got some service. Food came out wrong entree first then appetizers. We didn't like the udon chicken noodles they didn't even accommodate to take it off the bill. Very into their conversations and loud. Will never come here again. Only thing good was the sushi. read more

Had a supreme omakase (chef's choice) dish. Didn't know what to expect but very pleasantly surprised and will definitely be back. Very reasonable price for creative dishes and top quality ingredients. I've had omakase at most of the best sushi restaurants in NYC and the quality/selection for $35 is impressive. Eat in if you want to try omakase, temperature is important. Great find! Update: I have been back many times since the initial review. Commonly order omakase and it's been great every time. Amazing quality for a local small town Japanese Restaurant. Introduced few people to the restaurant and they keep coming back. read more

Went to Sakura with my daughter-in-law & her sister tonight & we thoroughly enjoyed the delectably delicious food, atmosphere & the very attentive staff. Looking forward to repeating my visit to this fabulous local Restaurant! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE It! Great food and great service. I've been a sushi lover since I was 4 years old and definitely know what good sushi is. After so many years of traveling to white plains/ or to NYC just for sushi... and hoping for good sushi in the Pelham/New Rochelle area I finally found Sakura! Sushi is very good and fresh! They have plenty of rolls to try! I recommend to try their cold appetizer: tuna pizza and their spicy Kano salad - Both are my favorite must haves! They do have a lunch special which is always good and convenient. I usually order for delivery and they are always so nice! read more

I am so relieved to have a new restaurant in Pelham that's not Italian and doesn't appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. I've lived here for two and a half years and am still surprised at the amount of turnover with restaurants in town. Luckily, Sakura seems to be getting rave reviews from every person who has eaten there. Though I can't currently speak to the quality of sushi (pregnancy, etc.), I can say that the food I ate was delicious: I love that they thinly pounded the chicken karage, the miso tasted lighter than standard, and though there are no hibachi tables, I got a heaping portion of hibachi fried rice, shrimp and vegetables with my lunch order. Our waitress came by frequently to check on us and our son and the prices were very decent. Now I just have to wait for them to start delivery! read more

Great new addition to Pelham! The sushi was melt in your mouth delicious, service was friendly, decor and presentation was nice. Hands down the best sushi I've had since moving to Westchester. Plus, they deliver! read more

Yellowtail is the best gauge of quality sushi ... here they failed it was clearly was not the good cut ... was very tough and texture was off ... everything else was good except for the exceptionally long wait for our food read more

Date night in Pelham...where do you go? Let me recommend Sakura. Quiet and cozy, with good service and decent food. The rolls were good, and my husband enjoyed his food too...I was so engrossed in my food, that I seem to have forgotten what he had. Some sort of raw fish? probably. Definitely a local repeat. read more

Fresh sushi, inventive rolls, and a most attentive and friendly staff. We haven't had a bad meal here. A bit more light would be the one thing I would improve. read more

This is a welcome addition, as others have said. Good food, helpful and very friendly staff, and a no - rush policy it seems.Will definitely come back here again, and look forward to many pleasing lunch and dinner experiences. I came for dinner, and was not disappointed at all. Thank you, folks! read more

Impossible, a good Asian restaurant in Pelham?? Yes, it's true. Delicious and beautifully prepared sushi, good bento boxes and great prices. Waitresses are friendly and efficient. So excited to have a great sushi place to go to!! read more

Just another day for me at Sakura. I really enjoy the people and the food. Whether I dine-in, pick up or have food delivered, it's always spot on. On more than one occasion, as I wait for my food to go, the sushi chef will share his latest creation with me...and other guests. Tuna taco is great (and I'm not a tuna fan). I had King Salmon (if I remember correctly) and it was simply divine. Always fresh, always clean & always great service. read more

Nice decor, clean, friendly service. The quality of the sushi is pretty solid and on par with many of the other Japanese restaurants in Westchester. It's a great addition to the restaurant scene in Pelham. The only negative is that we ordered the katsu once and it was very dry. read more

While the standard rolls are a little small the food is excellent and the boxes are large and delicious as well as the specialty rolls. I've been there several times now and the service is excellent. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive. I am going out of my way to right this for others indicated bad service. If that was the case it certainly has been fixed. Great job! read more

The service was great, everyone was really nice. The sushi was very fresh and enjoyable. Definitely coming back again!

We ordered DELIVERY for the first time the other night as the temperature was bitter cold! Dinner arrived in 30 minutes. Everything was hot, the order was complete, and the food was great! We got a variety of rolls, katsu, and tempura. Love this place! read more

Simply put, the food is always good, the people are nice, and they deliver.

Great sushi with a kind and attentive staff. I've found that the sushi it better if I go on a Friday or Saturday night because they have the best people there making it. I've ordered lunch here a few times and am always disappointed because the rolls are very sloppy-all pieces different sizes and falling apart. If you go at the right time though, everything is great. read more

Awesome Saturday night dinner at Sakura. The wait staff was so friendly when we came and instantly offered my two friends and I a "welcome" salmon sushi piece each. I ordered the house Sakura roll for an entree and appetizer was a seared tuna plate. Both were fantastic, especially with the well priced saki. Interior is lovely and the restaurant was bustling. Definitely will go back. Great sushi restaurant for the little town of Pelham! read more

Good customer service, however they forgot half my order upon picking it up and then took an hour to deliver the rest of my meal. Food was alright though. read more

While I'm really excited to have a new restaurant in Pelham, the sushi didn't quite live up to my expectations. The fish quality seemed fine, the fresh wasabi was excellent, but the eel roll didn't have much eel, and it tasted strangely sweet. The spicy tuna also had squishier texture than I expected. Update: We went back in 2016. The sushi is fine, but not great. I understand that it's a sushi restaurant, but the place smells more 'fishy' than other sushi restaurants I've visited. May try again in a year or if we hear the place makes any changes. read more

Love this spot, great sushi, great lunch specials. The Hawaii roll is also a must try !

Some of the best sushi to be found in Westchester. Raymond is a true artist. The staff is friendly and eager to please.

I was so happy this restaurant opened up only 5 minutes away. I went on the first Sunday it opened, the food was pretty good but the service was terrible. Our food arrived almost an hour late. Since then, the service has improved and the sushi and apps are still great. I would definitely come back!: read more

The sushi made there is very delicious. I've been to several sushi places and it's not as food as here. The workers are all nice and friendly. Everything is made fresh and well prepared. I will definitely come again!!!! read more

The food is fresh and delicious. The sushi is phenomenal. Highly recommend it and the sushi is very fresh and high quality.

Fantastic, fresh sushi. Some of the best I've ever had. Staff were incredibly attentive, and the sushi chef came out to explain each piece. Reasonable prices. read more

I've been at Sakura regularly since it finally opened a couple months ago. As I'm always getting sushi, I can't say anything about their other dishes, but the sushi and miso soup are amazing. Also, you should definitely check out the lunch special (two sushi rolls + soup or salad for $10.95, three rolls for $13.95) and they offer all their dishes with brown rice aswell. The only reason why they don't get 5 stars is that the delivery usualy takes quite long and the delivery guys sometimes end up at another address, but the food definitely deservese 5 stars! read more

Very good sushi, menu has a number of other options. And now they have alcohol! no need now to go beyond Pelham for sushi.

Nice neighborhood sushi place. Dined here with family - 5 adults and 2 toddlers. Food and service were good. Everything came out at a good pace. Price was reasonable. I would bring my family back. read more

Stopped by after reading reviews while traveling. Staff was friendly, nice ambiance, food was fresh and yummy. Highly recommend.

I come here often. The food is very good and the staff is very nice. Although the food is pricey, it is definitely worth it. This will always be one of my favorite places to eat. read more

Nice, quiet space. Excellent sushi and presentation. After 2 or 3 visits, it's been excellent every time, don't have to leave town for good sushi any more. read more

Well, well, a new sushi joint in Westchester. The vibe, with its entry water-works and heavily draped windows is more imitation chinese restaurant than austere Japanese sushi haven. Visited on Friday night and it was crowded. Only two waitresses for entire establishment and boy were they over-matched by the crowd. They tried hard and were pleasant enough, but could have used another hand on deck. Orders were delayed or mixed-up or wrong. The gyoza was nicely crisped on the outside - good. Miso scallops on eggplant was exceptional! A nice contrast of flavors and textures. Bento box - copious amounts of tempura, teriyaki chicken, sushi and rice. More than enough for a meal in itself. A decent start, but they really need to match the the wait-staff to the size of the clientele - not easy, but crucial for creating a good dining experience. 2-1/2 stars, but I'll give them the friendly upgrade. Will give them another visit. read more

sushi was totally good. yellowtail ceviche with taro root was delicious and interesting. service was a bit slow but I think it's probably first week glitch. But they apologized and compensated by throwing in complimentary app. would absolutely go again! they could dim the lights a little for better ambiance! btw, when we went they hadn't gotten their liquor license but would open your own bottle for you! read more

I am surprised about all the negative reviews. The sushi was very fresh, wild alaskan salmon. I don't know where other people get their sushi, but relative to places around here, this is the best quality by a pretty far margin. I am not sure why people are so focused on customer service when they go to eat sushi. read more

Amazing sushi! I have only gotten take out, so don't feel like I can give the full 5 stars, but it is delicious. We've ordered about twice a week since it opened. I am thrilled to finally have NYC quality sushi in Westchester! read more

Address is 124 5th Ave. in Pelham. (Please correct. 123 is the other side of the street.) We had the rockfish appetizer with spicy mayo dressing, very good! Our entrees were all delicious and served promptly after the appetizers: steak teriyaki, fresh sushi, and curried beef. Asahi and Sapporo beer, and hot sake. Very friendly and efficient service. A wonderful find on Christmas Day when few other places were open in Pelham. They will soon have take-out delivery. They were in the midst of advertising for a delivery person. read more
