Very good food and restaurant was nice. Good selection on menu. Food arrives on time and staff was friendly

As a Japanese person, this is not a traditional Japanese restaurant, but it still serves good food. I was surprised by the Udon soup, it's totally different from the Japanese style. However, it was good! Tempra was not what we expected it would be, but it also tastes good. read more

This place is horrible. The restaurant had no heat so we got our food to go it still took about 45 mins of waiting and Of the 6 items we ordered, 5 of them was wrong when we got home 30 mins. Called them and they told us we can drive back in and they would verify we were given the wrong stuff and replace it. If you want punished for their incompetence go eat here and they'll charge you and refuse to refund. Will never go back here I encourage everyone else to do the same. read more

When they opened, food was great. Finally some sushi in Shippensburg you want to eat. Over time, quality has declined and so have the portions. I've never spit out sushi until our last order. The spicy yellowtail tasted awful and like it was being covered up by yellow mustard. The food we did eat was underwhelming. Rainbow roll looked half fresh half left on a counter for an hour. Spider roll had almost no taste. Chicken hibachi was just...meh. Pork gyoza was ok. Save yourself the disappointment and travel to Chambersburg for Japanese/sushi. It's worth the gas. read more

Eel was perfect! Calamari fried in tempura was delicious! Loved the spicy salmon bowl with cumber and diced mango. It was on point! Keep up the good work! read more

Great food. So I will comment the workers. However my experience was ruined by the horrendous waitress. She was absolutely rude and disrespectful. If you are not happy don't work in customer service. Being kind to people is a big part of the job no matter their skin color! read more

This place is fun! The help is awesome! The Japanese music makes it authentic. Good noodles and bubble tea. Food is quality. read more

Sakura - Tempura - Japanese Near Me - Shippensburg, Pennsylvania

My husband and I were in town for a camp meeting. Hungry we tried a few hill places. We go to WV a lot and eat at a Sakura there all the time. I saw that they had lunch Hibachi here as well. We ordered the same which is Hibachi chicken and steak. It was honestly so flavorful and the rice was just perfect. The veggies were cooked just right as well. The lunch option was plenty. The difference was the flavor of the food was better to both of us the only thing was, we would have liked the Hibachi cooked in front of us. That is my favorite part. This was a very small intimate setting, waitress was nice, very casually dressed which took away from the intimate, cozy setting. All in all we will be back next year on our visit. read more

Very good! Great fresh sushi and the other food we've tried is good too. The service can get a little slow but it's worth the wait.

The servicer pays attention to detail and ensures we understand all our choices with the lunch boxes. The steak is tender. When in town this will be a go-to place. read more

I stopped after work to get their 3-roll lunch special for $10.95. I ordered the eel cucumber roll, spicy crab roll, and spicy yellow tail roll. All were really good and fresh! The server was very soft spoken and kind. I would go back again when I'm in the mood for sushi for sure. read more

I was pleasantly surprised on the quality and freshness of the salmon and spicy salmon sushi. I also tried the hibachi chicken and while the chicken was just a tad overdone and dry, the sauce was good and the yum yum sauce tasted good too. I was in Shippensburg because I was going to attend a wedding nearby. This town is just large enough to have many of the chains represented, yet small enough to have the small town feel. It is great to see a family owned restaurant and a very enthusiastic cashier. If I am ever in this area as again, I would definitely stop here again. read more

We stopped here tonight and the hibachi chicken was delicious! The fried rice and vegetables were also excellent. They also had a huge sushi menu. Service was great. Highly recommend read more

Had two rolls and beef hibachi. The rolls were not too bad. The shrimp tempura roll was acceptable as was the spicy tuna. Not sure about the whole 'crunch' thing though. The steak was tender, the veggies nice and the fried rice okay. Sakura is not bad. It is not terrible. The people are super nice, the food is all acceptable and does not offend. That's the thing. It is bland, unremarkable, unmemorable and is adequate. Prices are okay and not outrageous and not cheap. Sakura is okay. Just okay. read more

My dining experience here was interesting. Came in on a Thursday night for dinner. The place was empty but the music was pumping like a thousand people had reservations for a dance party! Ordered a couple of sushi rolls and chicken teriyaki. Everything was ok. Not going to blow you away but far from terrible. My server was nice but a little pushy with trying to get me to order appetizers. I sat at the sushi bar, crushed my food and left. Decent place for dinner. Just don't forget to pack your dance shoes :) read more

The food is great. I've tried their hibachi and sushi meals on separate occasions, and both are worth the price. The servers are very attentive and it seems very clean and staff is friendly. I can't really think of one negative thing about sakura.I'll absolutely be returning again! read more

Typically I like this place. I ordered ONE bubble tea, I've been standing here for over the twenty mins they told me it would take but then a dude comes in for pick up. He ordered two AND food. Where's my TEA. The response from the owners is bullshit. I stood there and had to ask for me tea AFTER the guy showed up. I walked in and was told it would take 15-20 mins to make the tea. Which by the way, was probably sitting there while I stood in the waiting area to receive my tea AFTER the guy who called in walked into the store to pick up his food. Which by the way if you were done with his order before he picked it up, you hand the next person their order if they're standing right in front of you. I work in food service and this response is a joke. I ordered ONE tea, y'all could have gotten my tea as soon as I ordered it since I was STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU. read more

This is the worst sushi I've ever had, worse than supermarket sushi. Didn't taste like anything - fish had no flavor, the sushi rice was not seasoned properly, the seaweed wrappers were soggy and flavorless. I feel bad for anyone who thinks this is good sushi. At least it was inexpensive and no one got sick. Service was good and online ordering was easy. That's about all there is going for it if you're looking for sushi. read more

Awesome food and wonderful service! Pricing is great too. Very friendly customer service every time I come in. Definitely would recommend.

Sakura's has never let us down. Their food has always been great, if I had complaints it's that I always want more of it. On top of that the customer service makes it clear they care about their patrons. When the pandemic hit and they re-opened they shifted really conveniently to carry out and provided hand sanitizer and masks for guests at no additional costs at a time when other establishments were not. Hibachi is my favorite and it's as good here as it has been anywhere. My girlfriend orders sushi two or three times a month and loves it. So happy to have them in our town. read more

I am very happy with Sakura. This was my first time, and everything we ordered was delicious. We ordered the Crazy Roll, peanut-avocado roll, and Philadelphia roll. Also ordered the teriyaki chicken lunch. Definitely recommend! read more

Great sushi. Good food when you dine in though it takes a little time. Very sweet people

First off, we've been here three times already. Each time before was "meh, maybe not again ‍" . We decided that running to Chambersburg was just out of the question for the day, but really wanted some sush! So we did it..we went back and the fourth time was the charm! Under new management and the sushi chef was super excited about their new menu. He said "Mixing Chinese and Japanese dishes doesn't work" and their going to be start to feature Poke Bowls next weekend! We got the Paradise Roll, Salmon Sushi, Naruto Roll, Chicken Hibachi and the the Beef Udon Soup. Every single thing was great! The only thing that holds them back from getting our 5th star is the ambience. The chef was nice to talk to but it was awkwardly quite with the same old Muzak and plain walls. Definitely going back specially for the poke bowl! read more

Great sushi. I had the mango roll and it was so fresh and delicious. Oh, and they had the oshinko roll. One of my faves that you don't see very often. I liked all the specialty rolls. I will be back when in town for sure. Good variety plus non-sushi items for those who dont care for sushi. But who wouldnt. Love sushi! Perfect little spot. read more

Best Japanese food in Shippensburg. Comparatively, there are better in the NJ and Philadelphia areas and even in Chambersburg but for local to Shippensburg, it's very good. read more

I saw 4 stars so I thought I would give it a try. There's nothing better than good sushi and nothing worse than bad sushi. Unfortunately, this sushi was on the bad side. Very disappointed. I wish I had had gone to Taco Bell instead. read more

Went there late one night, about 45 mins before they closed. Place was empty and quiet and man was the food great! Got the shrimp tempura roll and the Sakura roll with soy paper. Friend got the chicken fried rice. Hearty helping. Definitely recommend, as this is only the second time I've had sushi. Super good!! read more

Ordered chicken stir fry udon. Got about 6 small bites of chicken, mostly cabbage. I wouldn't call this a NOODLE dish. Very disappointed

Heads up, if you dont like the food or there is an error in the order your still paying for it. Service is bad too! Its a hit or miss here. read more

Delicious sushi - recommend the dragon roll! Also enjoyed the entrees - Hibachi chicken was very good. Excellent service and high quality! read more

Sushi is always great and everyone is friendly. Prefer it for takeout over dine in. They are always working on expanding their offerings.

Food was quite tasty and fresh. Our only complaint was the place was literally freezing. They had no heat on. They did turn it on after we asked but it took aa while to warm the place up read more

Please don't waste your money. Heed my warning! Bad service cold food and very slow! You know this place probably will not make it. Took 40 mins for appetizers that were a 5 out of ten. Dinner came and 5 mins later the salads came. The dinner was cold to the touch and taste. We just paid and left with the ideology that if they had the audacity to serve it they needed the money. We put our food in togo boxes but left it. When leaving we seen our food in the bag go BACK into the kitchen. Maybe someone else enjoyed our meal??? This was my wifes birthday too and she wanted to go here. read more

Extremely fresh and delicious tasting sushi! Best I've found around here. And my boyfriend is obsessed with the hibachi. He gives it 5 stars. read more

Always in search a new good sushi joint and unfortunately it was more of the same fast food sushi. Using sauces (not listed on the menu) to cover up subpar ingredients and small portions. If you are ever in the mood for really good sushi it's worth a trip to Wasabi in Hagerstown next to Lowe's near the long meadow shopping center. read more

Review of new Sakura, Japanese Restaurant, 17 Shippensburg Shopping Center (Tractor Supply Strip Mall), 717-477-5913. Open Mon-Thur 11-9:30pm, Fri-Sat,11-10:00pm, Sunday 11:30am 9:00pm. Dine in or Take out. Very nice decor. Parking in the mall lot. I went for lunch. John promptly served the Miso Soup (made with stock and miso paste), Hot Japanese Tea, Chicken Teriyaki (grilled chicken with a glaze of soy sauce and sugar), and Fried Rice for $8.47. Food was quite good. Large portion; I had to get a box. They have such lunch items as cooked and raw fish Sushi, Beef Teriyaki, Tofu Teriyaki, Salmon Hibachi, Beef and Shrimp Hibachi, Beef and Chicken Hibachi. Other lunch specials are posted on a white board near the register. Extensive dinner menu: I will be back. read more

A wonderful addition to Shippensburg. The rolls were delicious (dragon and yum yum) and the serving staff were very polite and helpful. We also ordered a teriyaki chicken plate which hit the spot. Don't forget to ask for some yum yum sauce! read more
