Omg they where so sweet! And my service was literally the best I was treated so nicely. The food was amazing presentation, to the smell, to the taste. Great Job! P.S this is now my hidden gem. read more

Gyoza was fine. Miso soup was watery and lacked all the flavor. Sushi roll fell apart and smelt like bad fish, and the hand roll ... well let's say I could have done better. Waitress didn't clear the table the entire time we sat there. The mold above our heads didn't help with the ceiling tile about to bust from moisture. They give you a bunch of free stuff to make up for the terrible food and service. read more

I was in town and found this place on Yelp - when I walked in I was greeted with a smile and how can I help you - after reviewing the menu, we ordered a few rolls to go - while we waited someone came out with complimentary slushie drinks - tasted like a coconut lemon flavor maybe - it was really good and refreshing - the food was fresh and was good read more

Absolutely incredible food and service! Why is this place not packed with people?! They gave us so many extra free treats. The food was phenomenal and huge portions too! I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Japanese food. read more

Sakura Sushi was very underwhelming. The service and welcome we received was very good. The food was just meahh..I was unable to eat the salad which just consisted of iceberg lettuce 2 under ripe tomatoes and what appeared to be some white chunky dressing that I felt was either spoiled or left out in thr kitchen. Whatever it was I chose not to attempt to eat it. Miss soup is served before the appetizer. I ordered a salmon roll. There was no chill to this sushi. Grayish Wasabi, and pale pickled ginger. Our meals came out quick really just after the sushi app. My Habachi beef had the distinct taste of meat that was not fresh. I ate the rice. Hubby enjoyed his combo meal. This restaurant has no Habachi table, no visible Sushi bar. We were giving a "extra sushi" when we were leaving. This was from the same bag that was just sitting on the counter when we arrived. I assumed it was an order that was called in but not picked up. The waiter was very nice and courtesy. read more

My husband suggested we try this place, and we both left happy he did. The wait staff were all friendly, funny, and welcoming. We were treated to a sample of their pineapple drink which was delicious. The crab Rangoon were crispy and delicious. We both enjoyed our lunch picks, pick three sushi for him and a lunch sushi bento box for me. We absolutely loved the plate presentations, as well! What a cute surprise! We both left stuffed, and I took home plenty of leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. The surprise treat of their strawberry mochi ice cream sample was a perfect way to end our meal. There is plenty of seating, a nice relaxing atmosphere, and plenty of parking available, as well. We will definitely be back especially with our sushi loving grown kids very soon. Check them out! read more

Come to the place ever other week and they treat me and my girlfriend great every time. We also love their food. The owner is the sweetest thing ever. read more

They are always so nice, offering little extra samples I hate to say anything too negative but I only give the food 3 out of 5. The grade of fish for the sushi is not as good as some grocery store sushi I've had. The cooked dishes we've tried have also been about a 3. read more

Absolutely love this place always friendly fresh food! They threw a piece of crab in my shrimp tempura chefs kiss sooooo good!! read more

Ordered off doordash for lunch and this was a waste of $20. The rolls were gross. I have never seen a shrimp tempura roll batter like sweet n sour chicken and it had crab in the tempura roll?! Like why then I also got a sweet potato roll and the potato's were still hard not even cooked and no eel sauce over them which I thought was standard but guess not. I forget the name of the other roll in super duper roll that was the only one that I ate. Def wouldn't recommend anything cooked here maybe raw is their speciality bc this was a waste of money read more

My husband and I arrived around 1 pm for lunch and the restaurant was empty. We were warmly greeted and seated at a booth. Our server welcomed us with a complimentary cucumber salad and a shy smile. We ordered some sake and looked over the menu, starting with the spring rolls appetizer, which came with ponzu sauce -- very tasty. We ordered 4 rolls and while we waited the server brought us complimentary pineapple slushes. They were cold and refreshing and included small bits of pineapple to chew on. We were also given complimentary miso soup, which was warm and delicious, along with two dumplings that my husband especially enjoyed. When our four rolls arrived, they were served in two decorative boats with umbrellas and plastic flowers. It was a lovely -- if slightly over-the-top -- presentation for four rolls, but still appreciated. The rolls themselves were just okay, not great, and since we were already full from all of the complimentary items, we boxed them up to take home. We also took back half a bottle of Black and Gold sake, which came in a complimentary gift bag. The sake had been recommended over the smaller bottle of Junmai Ginjo but was a little too sweet for my taste. When the check arrived, we noticed a fifth roll listed as "free." We hadn't ordered it, but since there was no charge, we didn't question it. As we left, the server handed us that roll -- a complimentary volcano roll -- neatly packaged in a to-go container. So why only 3 stars? Here's what went wrong: - Upon entering, the restaurant didn't smell very good. - Once seated, we noticed the space felt a bit shabby and not especially clean. - The panko on the rolls was stale and chewy, so we scraped it off. - Our server was polite but shy and not very engaging. - Despite the restaurant being empty, two other tables were seated directly in front of and behind us -- uncomfortably close in an otherwise empty restaurant. - The bathrooms were poorly maintained and not pleasant. We really wanted to like this place and even drove 30 minutes from Norfolk after reading the reviews. Unfortunately, the issues outweighed the positives, and we don't plan to return -- even with the $10 gift certificate we received with the check. read more

My husband chose Sakura for his Father's day dinner. The place was cute, no nonsense. We were welcomed with very nice pickled cucumbers and pineapple smoothie, which were both very good. We chose the shrimp and vegetable tempura, which was very good. The fried calamari was very overcooked and chewy. I was also underwhelmed with the soup (bland) and salad (overly soaked in a bland dressing). We got the short ribs, which was tasty, and steak teriyaki, which was also very good. The sushi came and it was gorgeous! Sushi was fresh and very good, though they did very a bit carried away with the mayo! We all agreed on a solid 6-1/2, but world probably give it another try. read more

Sakura Sushi and Grill - In my order today I received a piece of plastic in my tempura. First and last time ordering from here. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

When you walk in you can tell they need to clean out the grease trap or the sewer - no matter what it's not appetizing and should've been the first sign to leave. "fish" in the sushi was minced meat and not comparable to the quality Sakura used to provide. Salad dressing was watered down, as was the miso soup. No flavor at all. Prices are too high to offer such poor food. Literally a 0 star experience - won't be back read more

Absolutely wonderful place !! Staff was friendly and helpful. The food was outstanding! Fresh and we highly recommend!! read more

Service was great. Food quality and portions were awesome. Hibachi steak, edamame and sushi was all so good. They gave us a free volcano roll to take to go and a $10 gift card for the next visit. Will definitely be back. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Worse sushi I've ever had. I ordered a Chesapeake roll and grabbed the first one to see plastic in the middle , looked to be part of the glove. The salmon taste very bad like it was rotten. I didn't eat anymore. I asked for the check and she asked if I wanted a box and I said no the salmon is very bad and I found plastic inside. She said the fish had just arrived today. I should have known when I walked in and it smelled like dead fish. read more

Lunchtime Chirash & lunchtime Sashimi ordered at Sakura, where we've eaten several times previously. Food was always good and staff very pleasant, but this time things were just Okay. Sashimi cuts were large and uneven, complimentary spring rolls were greasy. I ordered lunchtime chirashi but was charged for full dinner option. We were given a complimentary roll to go when finished, but it was so over-fried and unappetizing that we left it behind. Perhaps just a bad day, but disappointing. read more

Second visit, this time for lunch. No wait at all on a Tuesday as 12:30. Peaceful interior with expected decorations. Was given a cucumber salad and a pineapple smoothie sample at no cost. I had the two roll lunch - mango/shrimp roll and Boston roll. The Boston roll was a little bland, but still good. The mango shrimp is excellent. Was also given a small scoop of strawberry ice cream at the end of my lunch. All told a little over $15 for lunch including 25% tip. Great value, great food, good service. read more

Sushi is good but not great. Mango lovers roll is really good but shrimp was overcooked and a little extra chewy. Spicy scallop roll lacks flavor and had a crumb filler mixed in with the scallops and spicy sauce. Salmon on the nigiri was sliced so thin it was barely noticeable on the rice. Craving satisfied but kinda a bummer. Probably won't order here again. read more

What a pleasant surprise! The four of us had dinner there tonight and it was an event! Every dish was not only delicious but the presentation made you feel like you were in Disney World! So creative so unique. Can't wait to go back! , read more

Everything is absolutely delicious! Service is impeccable. Love the Japanese theme feel.

This place is really overlooked on the outside. The sushi is really delicious. I grabbed a McArthur roll and a Phoenix roll. Both came to the quickly (the fried shrimp inside were still warm). The McArthur is my favorite so far. It has fried shrimp, crunchies, and spicy tuna on the inside. They throw avocado and salmon on the outside with some yum yum sauce. The other one is interesting: the Phoenix roll is fried shrimp, spicy tuna, and avocado on the inside, then salmon and a thin slice of LEMON on the outside. They are both pretty good. No to mention the cucumber, miso soup and hospitality! read more

I went to this place for the first time during a date with my boyfriend. When we first walked in we were greeted with a very unpleasant aroma, but I ignored it as we sat down. The service wasn't terrible, but the coke I drank had a strange ratio of syrup to soda water. I decided to try to house salad and immediately regretted it. It was super runny and strangely white. It tried to resemble a ginger dressing I normally like at other restaurants, but tasted extremely old and borderline rancid. The bathrooms were rundown and dirty along with the floors in the dining area. I don't understand how it has 4 stars as the experience beginning to end was completely unacceptable. I would never come back nor recommend this place to my worst enemy. read more

Good service. Restaurant floors are sticky and generally pretty humid inside. Which I do not like. Fish tastes like just enough to enjoy and not get sick... but also doesn't taste super fresh. read more

This place was amazing! The food arrived promptly and was so delicious! I have been in Hampton roads for 6 years now and have been looking for a great sushi spot and I would say this place is the winner! On top of quick and exceptional food the service was like no other , they went out of their way to ensure a top quality experience and even catered to our two year old and made his night! We will definitely be back! read more

My son and I stopped in for an early dinner- the only customers (it was 3pm). Met with a smile- service was amazing- and they kept feeding us and feeding us and feeding us. The boba was amazing- gyoza great- sushi tasty. Presentation adorable. Left with a to go box with a roll we didn't even order and a second boba. We will be back with the rest of the family next time! read more

Sakura Sushi and Grill - 4. Hibachi Steak Lunch Special - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

We had one of the BEST lunch dining experiences at Sakura yesterday! The waitress was super kind and very efficient. She said she was new, but it wasn't showing! She brought out some free pineapple slushies in a small, cute glass. Those were so refreshing after a hot day at the zoo. She also brought us a complementary plate of pickled cucumbers. We ate every one! So yummy! I ordered the Japanese noodles with chicken - so flavorful and delicious! We also ordered the volcano roll. As the picture shows, it came out with an adorable kitty light. My grandson was impressed! We were charged for a yellowfin that wasn't brought out, so the owner took it off our bill PLUS gave it to us with a free volcano roll. This place is highly underrated. We will go back! read more

I went for lunch and it was very nice, bit quiet but I love that. I don't like overtly loud places. I'm not sure if that holds true still around dinner time though, this was my first visit here. The bento was HUGE, I couldn't finish it all so I had to take a box home (same with the crabmeat salad ). I'm not the biggest fan of miso but it was also good, the volcano roll was VERY good. Very good pricing for what I got, definitely take advantage of the lunch specials. Cheapest boba I've gotten anywhere too, $4.99 [pre tax] unbeatable, compared to other places that are $8+ after tax. Will be going back read more

Stopped by for lunch and gave it a shot. Took our temperature upon entering, first place to do that. Service is a 5 all the way. Food is good. We started with a free cucumber salad. It was good enough we ordered a second. Then she brought a free pineapple smoothie which was also very good. We both had the lunch hibachi, my wife got steak and shrimp while I had steak and chicken. It comes with fried rice and miso soup. It's great to see another Japanese dining option in this area. Welcome Sakura! read more
