    This was a really cool sushi spot hidden between multiple apartment complexes. This isn't a sushi restaurant you would stumble across. You'd have to seek it out. We took a chance and were not disappointed. We had a light early dinner here and ordered just the rainbow dinner. It came with a variety of nigiri and sashimi. It also came with a rainbow roll. It also came with some yummy miso soup. The presentation of all of their dinner combos were really creative and each of their tables had a different type of decor on it. The prices were really affordable for how fresh the sushi was and the servers were all very friendly and gave us some good suggestions. I will definitely be coming back to have their salmon lover sushi dish because their salmon was one of the best I've had in Denver so far!

    One of the lunch specials, can't remember what it's called.

    I've been to Sakura a couple of times now, because it's a bit out of the way for me. But, I'm happy I found this sushi place. The fishes are fresh and the service is great. I took one star out, because the second time I visited, the rice wasn't great. It was too sticky and too dense, it was hard to eat. But the fishes were great and fresh! So, I ate a few of the rice and finished the fish only. Service has been great so far. The lady is friendly, but not too overly friendly to a point that it's awkward. She seems like a genuine person. The decor is definitely interesting and unique. Sakura themed, but somehow it works. The chef decided to gave us a couple of raw oysters on the house, and they were so so good!

    Lunch time at Sakura Sushi was busy, but not packed. Similar to other sushi and ramen places in town, besides sushi and ramen, they also had varieties of appetizers, donburi and lunch boxes. The setting was low key, but welcoming with Japanese theme decor. Service was prompt. Ordered the sashimi omakase with 5 different kinds 20 pieces of sashimi, including tuna, salmon, yellowtail, white fish and snapper, and a cucumber wrapped sashimi roll. As they were having a BOGO special for toro, added that to complement the sashimi omasake. Besides these, also ordered the beef teriyaki lunch box. The taste and texture of the sashimi were good and enjoyable, while the beef teriyaki was within expectation. For less than $100, this was a pretty good deal.

    Tiny, cute place with good food at good prices. Friendly, down to earth feel. I loved the thoughtful and creative decorations. First they brought out complimentary Thai tea. I doubt this is a regular thing, and probably happened because it was towards the end of the night and they are a new restaurant. The Thai tea was tasty. We ordered 2 omakase for $60 each. Very good value, when considering it comes with a 8-pc roll and 20 pc of sushi, where a couple pieces were uni. Very good value. The uni was from Japan. It was pretty good with no bitterness, but was just slightly lacking in flavor. The sushi rice was seasoned very well. I was impressed with that flavor the most. Unfortunately the rice was packed really hard in the nigiri. I prefer the rice to be a little less in quantity, and not packed so tightly for my nigiri. The fish itself was good quality, and cut well. The sushi chef definitely knows what he's doing with cutting fish. I would describe the food overall as, not best of best, but very nice. It is worth repeating though, sushi rice seasoning was very high rating for me. They brought out a complimentary mango "cheesecake". Again, probably because end of night and they are new. It was still frozen and needed to thaw, so it was not very pleasant. The ice crystals throughout kind of ruined it. The flavor was okay, but did not remind me of cheesecake at all. It was more like a frozen mango puree mousse cake or something. I want to give 3.75 star, but between 3 star and 4 star, it gets rounded up to 4. Less packing on rice and fancier fish (like blue fin, even if prices increase) would garner a 5 star from me. I will definitely be back a few more times over the coming months to see how they settle in.

    This is by far the worst sushi I've ever had in Colorado. It tastes very fishy. The fish looks and tastes horrible. I cannot eat any of this sushi. I love sushi too, but this is just disgusting... The lobster tasted so fishy, I had to spit it out. The yellowtail doesn't even look appetizing. The tuna belly, which is a very expensive and delicious piece of the tuna belly, tastes horrible and chewy. We literally cannot eat any of what we ordered. Extremely disappointing, what a waste of food and money... Since I used DoorDash too I have no idea how to get a refund. Over $80 down the drain....

    Kiwi banana sushi, it's so good. Never had this type of sushi before.

    The shasimi is so fresh and good and the price is very affordable compares to other sushi restaurants. Jason is a creative chef and he made us a kiwi banana sushi that is so good. He use good quality and fresh ingredients from Japan. Definitely will come back.

    l've been here a couple times since their grand opening, and ordered take-out a couple others. Definitely plan to keep coming back for more. Highly recommend!

    We've eaten here many many times since discovering it in June. Ive brought co-workers, friends who've come to town, and my husband and I will come for date night. it's just SO good. the inside is so cute with the cherry blossom vibe (Sakura = Cherry Blossom / Pink Flowers in Japanese) and the decor delivers. the menu is robust, the serving staff is on top notch, and the sushi is fresh, beautifully plated, and absolutely delicious.

Here is what we got: 1. Pork Bao Buns: funny enough when it first came out it had no pork in it. I actually had to tell the waiter and he ended up coming back with the meat in it this time. This was okay, however a lot of pickled ginger ruined it. 2. Chicken Kaarage: unfortunately this was a complete miss the breathing was 90% and chicken was about 10%. Not worth the money. Entrees: 1. Tonkatsu Ramen: being a Ramen place this broth was delicious. Nothing bad with it. Wish there was more meat. 2. Beef Yakiudon: this was like a stirfry of beef udon noodles. It was okay but a bit lackluster due to all the sauces in it. 3. Poké bowl with salmon: this truly just had a good balance of everything but not enough poke. Overall, this place was OK. I don't know if I see myself coming back. Service was great however it truly was just the food.

    Sukiya Ramen - It is more breading than chicken. Flavor profiles were good but could've benefited from being more crispy to add some crunch to the plate.

I had the miso broth as my base and it just needed some seasoning or something the pork belly was on point and since my lunch special came with a choice of sushi I got four pieces and it was probably the stickiest rice I've ever had in a long time which is a good thing. The pieces of the roll did not fall apart. The location can be a little tricky to find as it's kind of hidden in the back of a smaller strip mall with other restaurants, smaller dining area so I can see on busy nights that being challenging when dining in.

    We ordered the cheese tan tan and the kimchi spicy miso. We got the udon for our 4 and 6 year old…read more On the positive side it was pretty good. I would rate it. Maybe four /four and a half. The cheese tan tan was good, probably just a bit too much on the cheese so I would stick with more of a classical ramen if I were to go back. The one thing that caught my eye that I wasn't a fan of was the pricing. I looked at a standard tonkatsu which is kind of my baseline when I'm looking at different ramens. If I wanted to add in all the vegetables that are normally standard and an egg it would go from the $17 base to almost $26 or $9 more when compared to a very comparable competitor nearby that has it priced at $17.50 for a tonkatsu with all the same base, vegetables, egg, etc. That was the reason for the option on our side to stick with the pre-selected specialties so we didn't have to jump through hoops pricing wise. Which takes me to service normally. I like to get three adult meals and split one of the adult size portion between my 4 and 6-year-old. Some places are very accommodating and will go out of their way to split it in the back kitchen so we aren't making a mess at the table. Others are kind of like, Yeah, we'll give you an extra bowl and you do you... Normally I'm not picky and I wouldn't care one way or the other, but since I was already irked by the pricing when I asked if they could do that for me in the kitchen they said " that wouldn't be very easy for the chef so I'll just bring you the bowls".. I'm glad we're doing what's easy for the chef and not for me the customer.
