This was our first dine in visit We picked up takeout a few weeks ago as our first interaction with this establishment. The great: the food. The sushi rolls were really good, with a huge selection on the menu. The sesame chicken is a very pleasant rendition: not cloying sweet, the sauce feels light and refreshing. On the dine in visit, I had the shrimp Thai basil. Would get that again in a heartbeat. Also planning on getting some Thai basil seeds and growing my own. Spouse had the teriyaki chicken, which he said he really enjoyed. It came on a bed of onions though, and he doesn't eat onions. The bad: the service. We waited for an hour for our entrees. The restaurant was medium busy - the tables were about half full when we arrived. I understand anyone can have an off night. But I think we'll stick to takeout for future visits. read more

Wasn't super pleased with the quality of the sushi. Tim's roll was very good but everything else was not it. We were the only ones at the restaurant and the service was weirdly very awkward. Next time I'm in Menomonee Falls I'll probably pass on the sushi, maybe I'd do order pickup for the Tim's roll alone. read more

Dinner on a Friday night. On time, fresh and Hot. The girlfriend and the kids cleaned their plates. When we walked in everyone eating seemed happy. read more

Pleased by the comfortable interior. The outdoor signage suggested a chain restaurant experience which was not the case once you entered. A bit quiet for a Friday night but that was fine by me. Food was great. Very tasty and severed just right. Service was quick and efficient. Overall, I'll be back to this one. read more

The food came out fast and delicious this is one of the best sushi restaurants I've ever been to in Wisconsin

The food was good. I ordered the chicken teriyaki. First bite was overly salty. There was one carrot. One baby corn. Two tiny pieces of broccoli and about an entire onion. Hmm. Where are the veggies that are usually with the food? Salad was crisp and cold but the ginger dressing was scooped on heavily. The clear soup was good as was the chicken pad Thai. Overall it is pretty good although there are teens in charge in the front of house and they seem to have many jobs to do at the same time, so they are not always as attentive to the tables as they could be. We will give it another try. read more

I am only writing about the sushi side of this restaurant since that was all that I got. I ordered food online and picked it up for lunch. The sushi was packed nice and clean and looked fine. The price for the standard rolls (eel & avocado, spicy tuna, spicy crab) was very affordable at around $7 each. I bought other house rolls as well. This is the reason for my 2 star review: The food was quite fishy and tasted old, as if the fish was expired. I was not expecting the best sushi I've ever had, but this was different. When food is spoiled, it's spoiled. Specifically the tuna and the crab were not good. The taste was bad and there was an odor coming from the sushi. You could tell right away it wasn't good anymore. To serve bad fish at a sushi restaurant is definitely not a good look and doesn't bode well for the future. Although I like to support neighborhood restaurants, I will no longer be coming back to this place. I spent over $70 here and did not have a good experience. I hate paying for food that sucked. I hope the owners see this and make a change for the better. PS. Stomach is starting to hurt now... read more

Very dissappointed! Ordered 4 hibachi dinners, which cost me over $120... The rice was dry, the meal very mediocre and flavorless, no white sauce, etc. I will never be going there again, even though we go out to hibachi meals a number of times a month. read more

Very tasty food, great choice and all at a good price point. The service was excellent and staff were attentive and very helpful. The restaurant was very tidy and had a nice chilled atmosphere. read more

BEST sushi I've had in the Midwest! The atmosphere is very calming and elegant. The menu had so many options and a good variety to satisfy different sushi tastes. I personally adore any type of roll with cream cheese or that's deep fried. If you're the same way, I highly recommend the Tim's Roll and Godzilla Roll! The King Crab Rangoon is also a delicious treat. If you're looking for a great local sushi stop, Sakura is your place! Their dine-in seems to be fully up and running, but they had numerous take-out orders being pushed out while I was there. read more

Love this place . #1 this is a local Family owned establishment. Great service Authentic food Great ambience as well My daughter s favorite sushi place read more

Good selection of menu items to pick from. If you're unfamiliar with the items to pick from. Try coming during the lunch special time frame from 11am to 3 pm Monday through Friday. Also if you're on a budget come during this time frame. This location is comparable to a few of the other restaurants in the area so you can't go wrong with what you pick read more

I just had lunch at Sakura today. I ordered the Nabeyaki Udon which I have had at other Japanese restaurants. This one was unimpressive and was overpriced at 13.00. We asked for more veggies since I had only 2 mushrooms and our request was denied by the manager. The service was poor. There were less than 10 people and it took multiple request for napkins and over 30 minutes for our food. Clearly owners do not care about quality or reputation. I would not be surprised if they close down soon. Don't waste your time or money here. My packaged Asian soup would have been more impressive. read more

Based on YELP reviews, we decided to check out Sakura after seeing a movie in Menomonee Falls on Sunday, 8/17/14 at about 7:00PM. The location has an upscale look and feel when first walking in; a polished tile floor throughout, a dining area surrounded by a live Bamboo (garden box) perimeter, a Sushi Bar, a full cocktail bar and high-backed leather booth seating. I ordered a Jack Daniel's on the rocks ($8.00 - a bit pricey for the pour) after being told by the server that they only had a "well scotch" and no "Dewers." We ordered two entrees; the first: the "Sushi Deluxe" plate which came with five different types of fish (two pieces each) accompanied by a Tuna Roll. The fish was AOK: Mackerel, Tuna, Salmon, Yellowtail and another undetermined type of White Fish. ($22.00). The second entrée: Shrimp Tempura ($15.00). The shrimp was also AOK. Both meals came with a small (head) lettuce salad tossed with a house ginger dressing and a Miso soup. After finishing our initial order, we re-ordered and asked for Smelt Roe/Quail Egg sushi. The server had no idea what Smelt Roe was so, in its stead, we ordered Salmon Roe/Quail Egg. It was good. Our server was initially hurried and short with us, but slowed down a bit and had more patience as we talked with him and asked him questions. All-in-all, my personal experience over the years with Sushi Bar restaurants is mostly in Los Angeles, where the majority of the restaurants are a bit more traditional and owned/operated by folks of Japanese ancestry. IMHO, although an AOK experience all around, Sakura would not do well in Los Angeles or other megatropolis cities where traditional Japanese restaurants are aplenty. read more

Sakura is the best Hibachi place in the Falls area, blows Ninja out of the water. Excellent service, great food and the atmosphere was perfect! read more

Overall I felt very neutrally about Sakura. The sushi was good but didn't blow my mind, and the prices were about normal for a sushi restaurant. Was definitely decent sushi for suburban Wisconsin. Godzilla roll was my favorite, could take or leave the others we tried (california roll, dragon roll, and crazy salmon roll). read more

Great, casual, and fast sushi lunch spot. Sushi is really good, definitely a solid 4/5 stars. They are highly attentive and quick with their service. Would be a perfect spot for a group or business lunch! read more

Best sushi in town. The family that owns the place is amazing. Super polite with great service.

Came here due to the name having "grill" in it: no grills. I have NEVER eaten at a Japanese restaurant that does a great job cooking on the back. The sushi menu lacked any description of any but the most expensive rolls. Waiter stands and attempts to tell me each one, ridiculous! Drove 7 miles to get here and wouldn't drive 7 feet to do it again. I've been to buffets with better sushi. read more

First time here.. very modern looking , comfortable setting.... friendly and excellent service... excellent food... I'll absolutely be back and I highly recommend this restaurant read more

Gem of a spot! Quality sushi at reasonable prices. Prompt service and many choices on the menu. I like the option of sushi in the Falls

This is a suburban sushi success story. I'll admit - I was skeptical about strip mall, Menomonee Falls sushi. After several friends stopped in and had good things to say, I decided to check it out for myself. I dined during the lunch hour so I opted for one of the special: 5 pieces of Chef's Nigiri served with house salad (with ginger dressing) and miso soup. As usual, I also had a cup of hot tea. Everything was also priced reasonably at $11.00. Alternatively, I could have ordered two rolls for $9.00 or three rolls for $11.00. I did not want to bite off more than I could chew, but that seems like a great choice when dining with a friend. The soup, salad and tea arrived promptly. The entree was not far behind. Dishes were cleared very quickly and everything looked and tasted delicious. One of my "chef's choice" pieces of nigiri had a slight bite but the rest were rich and creamy. The quality was impressive and rivaled most "city" sushi joints. The decor was clean and modern. It made me forget I was in a strip mall, unlike some decorating schemes on similar establishments. I also noted the smell. This restaurant lacked that tempura deep-fry aroma that permeates everything you love and that was one of my favorite features. I even left noting that my clothes did not smell of cooking at all and I could not be more pleased. I did notice that I was still in the 'burbs. Most of the other guests brought their families. Some of the children were not on their best behavior and also were quite messy (throwing trash over the floor - napkins, chopstick wrappers, etc.). The staff promptly cleaned up after they left. From what I understand, not as many families dine there at night but with the location, it seems to be more family friendly. Parking is in the lot for the mall. You need to navigate through the wandering drivers that feel the lines are a suggestion. Typical, but fair warning. Overall, I was impressed and plan to go back. In addition to sushi they also have hibachi and some declicious desserts I hope to share in the future. If heading north, may your compass lead you here for a full belly and clothes that do not smell of many flavors. read more

I am a very picky and critical sushi eater and I completely enjoyed it. Very modern bright decor. A refreshing change. Excellent sushi. Friendly service . read more

Really pleasantly surprised with Sakura, considering its in a strip mall in Menomonee Falls. You'll forget that once you enter, as the interior is quite nice - modern earth tones with fish tanks separating the bar + dining area. Sakura has a good selection of sake - about a dozen kinds. Unfortunately, the sake list is a laminated sheet with pics of the bottles but no descriptions. Expect to pay about $11-14 for an individual serving bottle. There's also a full cocktail list. There's a lot to pick from on the menu - sushi, sashimi, cooked entrees, noodles - something for everyone. We stuck to sushi - prices for the basic rolls were very fair, and the specialty ones were $11-13. All of the rolls we tried were fresh tasting, nicely presented and delicious! My favorites were the Angel Wing and Crunchy 2-in-1. So, so good. One note - we had some mixed tempura to start and while it was very good the batter was much thicker than I'm used to. Service - our server was super nice, but not the most attentive. To be fair, maybe she didn't want to disturb two girls who were busy demolishing sushi and chugging sake. I wouldnt blame her - pretty sure we were frightening small children. Overall, what I had at Sakura was most definitely above average - I would return without hesitation! read more

I don't like giving low ratings, and if I could, I would leave this review rateless until I could go back and make sure that Valentine's Day was just a fluke-which judging from older reviews, it must have been. I'll start with the food first, which is what we all really want to know about: The sushi was fantastic. The chefs, busy as they were, made excellent selections on our Love Boat. The waitress unfortunately was unable to tell us what was what but we guessed well enough, I think. We also ordered the Volcano Roll and Rainbow Naruto--both of which were delicious. The Rainbow was crisp and refreshing (it's wrapped in cucumber-no rice). and it's served on individual platters with a splash of soy sauce. It's not very large, only 5 pieces, but it's definitely worth getting. The Volcano Roll is warm and fried- so people watching their calories should be careful. However, it's a large order, with about eight really large pieces, and delicious with a mix of textures that'll get any sushi fan excited. Now, onto the bad part: I definitely understand that Valentine's Day is an insane day in the restaurant industry, we all do. Which is why I don't understand why the Sakura owners only had two waitresses and one busser on staff (even the bartender had to get in on the action). I'm a patient person, as is my SO, but we were there for three hours waiting for our food, and we honestly didn't even wait the longest. There were people there for 30+ minutes waiting to get noticed by the waitress, and multiple couples up and left. It was pretty awful, and as someone who grew up in the restaurant industry, it'd be a veritable nightmare for any restaurant owner. I'm not willing to give up on this place though, despite the atrocious service. I'll be sure to update if I do go back. read more

Sushi was surprisingly subpar, but that could have been over looked if the service wasn't upsetting. We order the Habachi meals and every single one of us had burnt rice. When the second batch of rice was brought out it was under cooked and didn't have any of the vegetables or egg in it. When asked if we cooked take the rice of our check the manager said she did everything she could do and left the check as is. Wasn't really helpful and felt unwelcoming read more

Used to live in this area and ordered form this restaurant for the better part of two years. It's phenomenal. The sushi is always great and sometimes they would send me extra mochi or sushi because they knew I was a regular. Couldn't recommend them any more. read more

This is a quaint little sushi place that serves fresh and delicious sushi! It has very personable service and the sushi is great! We come here very often :) read more

They have a great lunch special. As for dinner the service is slower and they treat their regular customers better than new customers.

We did a take-out order from Sakura recently and loved it. The sushi and rolls are fabulous, and the staff is incredibly friendly. The Godzilla Roll and The Bear Roll are definitely some of the best items we tried. The restaurant atmosphere was lovely when we picked up our order - will be back to dine-in. read more

We have been here several times and everything was great. Ordered basic and "fancy" sushi rolls - all fresh and tasty. The spicy tuna was LOADED with tuna! Ordered chicken hibachi entree - excellent. Originally we planned to go to the other sushi place in town, which is great too, but it was too busy. Sakura is quieter and more elegant. Hope you enjoy it too! read more

I've been coming here since they first opened. I only come for the lunch special because it is great! My sister and I enjoy coming to get our own bento boxes and then sharing sushi rolls. I highly recommend this place. Their onions can be a bit strong in the teriyaki dishes but that's fine with me! read more

By far THE best restaurant I have been to since I moved to Wisconsin a month ago. They are actually Japanese and take pride in their cleanliness, presentation, and taste! The restaurant itself is beautifully designed and the wait staff were perfect! I ordered the maki lunch special with spicy crab and chicken tempura rolls with soup and salad for 9$. Not bad at all, considering all the inflated prices for Asian food in Wisconsin. Oh and Monday's they have 20% off regular and specialty rolls. Needless to say, I will be going back! read more

Sakura Sushi and Grill - Maki lunch-spicy crab, chicken tempura (soup and salad not pictured) - Japanese Near Me - Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin

This was a great experience, I travel and don't trust many sushi places however this one was well worth the visit. Although it is a bit pricey at $12ish a roll (especially when I order a second round ). It was worth a good meal. I travel to the area building certain chain restaurants. They seem to have a variety if someone in your party does not sushi. I will be back for sure Thanks for the great food and service read more

Food was great overall! Best crab Rangoon I have ever had! That's saying a lot.. lol. Anyway some of the stuff was a miss, the bacon wrapped shrimp things were different than I thought they would be, they were on a skewer and not very hot by the time they got to us. Soup had no flavor even when I added salt. Noodles were decent but also lacking flavor. I was told the sushi was excellent! read more

Upgrade! I've returned to Sakura quite a few times for lunch now and their food/service is consistently getting better! The presentation is amazing! They've recently started putting soy sauce designs on the plate and they're beautifully done. Today I got a dragon. I would also say the quality of the rolls has improved. My favorite part is that they don't have so much rice on them that you can't taste the fish. read more
