Marisol C.

I visited here while waiting for a meeting g around the corner and I will first say I have grubhub this place and dined I. Today and I much prefer the dine in experience. I was greeted and seated on entering. I ordered the shrimp tempura it came out freshly made. It was reasonably priced and delicious. I only had less than 45 minutes to spear and I joyed my dish without rushing and enjoying the outside view from my seat. Wickeden Street is pretty busy so it nice to see ppl walking by. I look forward to my next visit definitely will be a dine in

yellowtail jalapeño, salmon sashimi, uni sushi, scallop sushi, spicy tuna roll and salad (the best ginger dressing)!

Still just as good as it ever was- my favorite sushi spot around! Came here for more birthday celebrations with my bestie! Got the sashimi deluxe combo that comes with soup and salad- one of my favorites! Also had the sushi bullets roll again- tasty! $2/person BYOB this place doesn't disappoint and is great for a romantic date, a special celebration, or just a quick sushi fix! Their chicken katsu is also fantastic and service is fast and consistent!

This is my favorite place to get sushi in all of Rhode island! The rolls are delicious and fun! I especially love the Hot Babe Roll and the I Love You Roll. Sakura is great for take out or eating in. Take out is super efficient and eating in is cozy and pleasant. They have a BYOB policy and two dinning rooms, one is traditional Japanese floor seating. Amazing place, definitely try it if you're in the mood for excellent sushi!

Great sushi spot! We ordered a mix of things and it was all delicious. Service was also super fast! We will definitely be back!

This is a solid spot for sushi! We were seated in an "on the floor seating" area which was a unique and a nice experience for me. I do recommend this spot!

They have fantastic lunch specials- my go-to order is the chicken wakadori- either as the bento box for lunch or the classic dinner. The lunch bento box comes with rice, gyoza, soup and either a california roll or a cucumber avocado roll. The dinner comes with soup and salad and a few tasty noodles that have a sesame oil essence. I also love the yellowtail jalapeño sashimi appetizer. Cozy interior- great for dine in or takeout! It's also BYOB with a $2/per person fee. There is floor seating in addition to tables/booths with fast and friendly service. *tip: Campus Fine Wines is right up the street if you want to grab some beer, wine or sake- just remember, liquor stores close early on Sundays in Rhode Island.

Lunch Special

I finally came around to trying Sakura in Fox Point and was so impressed with the quality of fish and presentation. I got the lunch special that came with two rolls, one salmon nigiri, and tuna nigiri. Highly recommend!

This is an east side/ Wickenden staple. It has been serving for over 20 years. Fun floor seating, great BYO drinks.

Poison

I've been so on the fence about posting, because for almost a decade Sakura was my favorite lunch spot in Providence, but ultimately the illness I got after eating here warrants this review. The last time I came here I ordered the sashimi dinner. It came with several kinds of raw, "fresh" fish. I noticed that the tuna looked particularly vibrant in color, but-- because I have come here so often and for so long-- I brushed this off and ate it anyways. I now suspect that the tuna was colored to cover up for the fact that it was spoiled. Within hours, I started feeling off. What ensued was nearly 50 hours of fever, vomiting, body aches, and general disaster. "Acute food poisoning." I have never been so sick. I will never go back. When I recovered, I called to inform them but was unable to reach a human. I will never recommend Sakura again. I don't know what's going on in the kitchen, but it cannot be code compliant. This one experience was so terrible it has cancelled out the years of lunch specials, dinners, and birthday parties I have had here. Be warned.

38. Chicken Kari Udon
Victoria K.

I had high hopes for my lunch here but it missed the mark. First off, it was around noon on a weekday and the restaurant was mostly empty (maybe 3 tables including mine) but I heard the phone ringing and people coming in and going out so I'm guessing they were focusing on takeout orders. A table of 3 near me received their food and very slow waves. Their sushi took forever. They were vocal amongst themselves on how unhappy they were with the service and I can't blame them. It was extremely slow and basically nonexistent. I ordered the Kari udon or curry udon with chicken. There were so many vegetables I could barely pull the noodles out from underneath to eat them. Also there were so many vegetables it was like a blanket over the broth and the broth had no chance in hell to cool and so I burned my mouth the entire time I ate it because I had to get back to work and had already been waiting a while for me food and had to time to waste quite frankly. Additionally, it was only so-so. I was not very impressed and thought the food I had was pretty forgettable. I wouldn't really bother coming back, which is sad because like I said I had high hopes.

Shrimp Teriyaki Bento, with California Roll
Elena O.

I consistently crave Sakura's sushi! Last visit I ordered the Lunch Bento, which costed only $18 for shrimp, rice, dumplings and a roll. I think a pretty good deal! My food was delicious I always find the shrimp here so good. The sushi is fresh and the Red Sox roll is always a hit! My family and I always enjoy the floor seating option, which gives the meal a whole new experience. Staff are always nice also.

We found this sushi spot on our way back from my son's soccer game after seeing the high ratings…read moreand multiple posts advertising it as a top Yelp location. With a 4.6 rating, we were genuinely excited to try it. Walking in, first impressions were great. The inside of the restaurant was super cute, the artwork was beautifully done, and the initial greeting was welcoming. Unfortunately, things started going downhill pretty quickly after that. We had a few questions about the menu, but the hostess seemed confused and didn't really understand what we were asking, so we ultimately just gave up and ordered what sounded good. Food-wise, it was very mixed. The sushi roll was phenomenal...genuinely the best part of the experience, and my son absolutely loved his. The shrimp udon was okay, but the portion was noticeably smaller than what most sushi places serve. The salmon poke bowl was very basic and honestly underwhelming. I also asked for spicy mayo, which was never brought out. The biggest disappointment was the service. Paying $4 for a canned soda with no refills already felt excessive, but when my son accidentally spilled it, we cleaned it up immediately ourselves. No one offered extra napkins, replaced the plate, or even asked if we wanted another drink. It just felt inattentive from start to finish. To make matters worse, one staff member was sitting at the bar listening to something loudly on a laptop, which completely took away from the atmosphere and felt unprofessional. As someone who used to waitress, I understand the service industry and I'm usually a generous tipper. But I also believe tips reflect service, and unfortunately this experience missed the mark. After picking up our receipt, the hostess was visibly unhappy with the tip amount and had no issue making that clear which only reinforced the poor experience. I very rarely leave one-star reviews, but for a place with a 4.6 star reputation and "top-rated" marketing, this was incredibly disappointing. Cute atmosphere and one great sushi roll aside, the service and overall experience were just not what we expected.

The quality of their fish and local ingredients is awesome. They take pride in the visual appeal of their dishes as much as their ingredients. Always get something off the specials menu. The Maine uni was very good today. The scallop sashimi was monsterous in portion, sweet and delicate. The restaurant might be quaint, but the experience is anything but. Lunch time is a great time to come by whether solo at the bar, a business lunch, or a casual stroll by. The pricing isn't bad for sushi, maybe a little more than the average place in Rhodey, but this ain't average. We'll keep coming back.

I've been coming to Haruki East for at least 15 years, which is probably the strongest endorsement…read moreI can give any restaurant. In a state with no shortage of sushi options, this has remained my go-to spot year after year. At this point, I think I've tried either everything on the menu or come pretty close to it. That's what happens when you keep returning to the same place for over a decade. The reason I keep coming back is simple: consistency. The fish is always fresh, the sushi is well prepared, and the food is reliably good. If I order something cooked, it arrives hot and exactly as expected. There are restaurants where you're rolling the dice every visit. Haruki East has never felt like one of them. The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and easy to get to. The location is convenient, and the prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food. That's become increasingly rare these days. The only reason I'm stopping at four stars instead of five is the service. While I've never had a genuinely bad experience here, the last few visits have been noticeably slower than I remember. Service has also felt a bit inattentive at times, and these weren't during packed dinner rushes or busy weekend nights. Nothing terrible, just enough that I found myself waiting longer than expected for drinks, check-ins, or the bill. That said, the food continues to be excellent, and that's ultimately why I keep coming back. After 15 years, Haruki East has earned a level of trust that few restaurants achieve. When I'm craving sushi, this is still the place I think of first. The occasional service hiccup hasn't been enough to change that. If you're looking for fresh fish, a broad menu, reasonable prices, and a restaurant with a long track record of getting the important things right, Haruki East remains one of the best choices in Rhode Island.

5 stars across the board for service, ambiance, flavor, and pricing…read more My friend and I were in the mood for sushi and were headed to Attleboro so decided to stop by here after running an errand. It was around 8 pm so we were hoping it wasn't too packed and luckily it was about 50% full. They are located in a plaza with lots of popular businesses so parking can be scarce at times, but we had no issues this time. We were seated at a table with half comfy bench and half rigid chair so my friend and I decided to turn the table the long way and both sit on the comfy bench side. One of the hosts saw us close like sardines, came over and happily moved over a second table for us which was super kind of her. We ordered a sweet potato roll ($9), shrimp tempura roll ($12), and shrimp pad thai ($19). The sweet potato roll was the best one we've ever had as the sweet potato was not only really sweet, but it was very crispy and almost had caramelized edges. The shrimp tempura roll was also delicious. The slices were thin but wide as it had two pieces of shrimp tempura. I asked for spicy mayo on top instead of eel sauce. The pad thai was my least favorite since it didn't have many veggies, but also because it was a little too sweet, though the little lime wedge helped a bit. It did come with a good amount of shrimp, maybe 8 of them. For the prices, the serving sizes were good. Our server was attentive and very nice. They have a couple TVs along the wall and they have an open sushi bar where you can watch them making the rolls. The place is also clean.

You know I love this place. The food is amazing. The service always good. The vibe is very chill.read more

This…read morefamily-run restaurant has only been open about a year, but it already feels like an established part of the local dining scene. A nice space. We began with spring rolls (VERY good - chicken and shrimp) and sake, and the sake program deserves special mention. We selected a very enjoyable $38 bottle and noticed several other bottles at lower price points, along with a wide selection of canned sake--many around $11. Some diners may balk at paying that much for a can, but they will happily pay more for a mediocre glass of wine at half the volume. The value here is actually quite good, especially for those looking to explore sake beyond the ordinary. Our entrées--the ramen and chicken katsu--were excellent. The ramen featured a rich, deeply satisfying broth, while the chicken katsu was perfectly crisp on the outside and tender within. If you want a "hotter " ramen - the have an add on for a buck. Service was warm and attentive, reflecting the pride that often comes with a family-owned business. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, allowing the quality of the food to take center stage. Bristol is fortunate to have Sakuratani. Strong Japanese dining options can be hard to find outside larger cities, and for a restaurant only a year old, they seem to be doing many things right. We look forward to returning and exploring more of their menu--and their sake offerings. Highly recommended.
