Great little spot with very friendly and quick service. Pricing was very reasonable and our sushi was good. We ordered the sushi pizza based off other reviews and were glad we did! We only wish they play music here at dinner time as it would make dining in more enjoyable. read more

My review is based on take out only. I was in the mood for Japanese food and wanted to try Sakura Sushi on Triangle Rd, so I placed my order over the phone and it was ready when promised in 20 minutes. Sakura Sushi has a large menu, including a kids menu. There is something for everyone. I ordered their Sushi Dinner- 10 pieces of various sushi, and a Spicy Tuna Roll. It came with Miso Soup, and Green Salad with Ginger Dressing. I also ordered their Valentine Roll-Spicy Tuna, Crunch, Avocado inside,Spicy Tuna Outside. Everything I ordered was delicious. The Miso soup had seaweed and tofu in it. It was warm and comforting. The Green Salad was fresh and crisp not watery like some other places, and oh that Ginger Dressing made the salad. Then on to my sushi. It was beautifully displayed and had fresh wasabi and pickled ginger and a separate container of soy sauce for dipping. Every piece was fresh, including my Valentine Roll. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. My boyfriend ordered Steamed Pork Gyoza for an appetizer. They were good. For his entree he chose their Beef Teriyaki Dinner. Beef Teriyaki pieces with fresh Vegetables and Fried Rice. His dinner also came with Miso Soup, and Green Salad with Ginger Dressing. He enjoyed his meal but wished the beef was more pink and medium rare. . They do have seating if you choose to eat in. The dining room looked nice. When placing my order, The staff was very friendly over the phone. I would definitely order Sushi from here again read more

Food: This place is one of THE best sushi places around here! We always have to get the sushi pizza because it's simply AMAZING!!! Every time I eat it, I forget to take pics of everything else since I'm enjoying the sushi pizza too much. The maki and special rolls are good too, but nothing beats the sushi pizza. Service: The lady who serves us is always very friendly and attentive. She always greets us as soon as we walk in the door and makes us feel welcomed. read more

One of my favorite hometown staples! I loved the brandi roll but moved away years ago. ive been looking up what establishments are still around in hopes to move back soon and am so happy this place survived the pandemic! read more

I absolutely LOVE this sushi place. The service is incredible and so friendly. The woman who works here always asks about my family and is such a sweetheart. The food is fresh and delicious. And the environment is classic for a sushi restaurant. Definitely recommend this spot!! read more

We've been dining at Sakura since they opened over 25 years ago. Love their sushi and their owners, this is what keeps us coming back. Whether its take out or if we dine in, the sushi is delicious. For added treats try their Usuzukri and the dumpling soup read more

PRO TIP: Their bento box lunch specials ($13.95) CAN'T BE BEAT if you order shrimp tempura from column B! When you order shrimp tempura in the lunch special, you'd think that they'd just put 2 shrimp tempura pieces in your bento box...but they include 2 shrimp tempura AND veggie tempura (broccoli, eggplant, zucchini, and sweet potato - one of each). That's like an entree in itself and a dream come true for those who wanna ball on a budget and each some delicious noms!!! Honestly that's the best part of the bento box lol. But the tuna roll and teriyaki (I've had beef negimaki and beef teriyaki) are also very good - just not as generous or filling. They also charge for hot tea ($1.50) - just FYI as I know some Japanese restaurants don't charge for it. Service is very quick and friendly and there's ample parking since it's located in a strip mall. I hear good things about their sushi so I'll eventually come for dinner to try it but until then, I'll be loving their lunch specials! read more

Love the sushi, service is great, and the environment is quiet for a nice intimate meal.

We haven't been here in about 10 years and it's still just as delicious. Always fresh and big on flavor. Service always excellent.

Got to be honest wasn't expecting much. Small place in a strip mall. But the food and service were really good. Very fair prices. Not really a date nice place but for no frills sushi this is a good spot. read more

We haven't eaten here in years b/c back then we weren't particularly impressed. Well during the current pandemic on a Sunday Night we needed sushi, so we gave them another try. Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fish, the sushi rice was really good (just the right level of sweetness, sticky but not pasty). We had a variety of rolls and pieces, we found nothing to complain about. On top of that, the staff was very polite and appreciative that we were supporting them during this tough time. read more

Family run business. Welcoming. Food is always fresh and yummy. I do need to vary my order more though, I always get the same thing.

I love Sakura in Hillsborough. Best place ever! The family that knows it is the nicest people. This place never disappoints! its BYOB and a nice chill place to have a quick dinner. read more

I live local and it was my first time visiting this establishment. I will definitely be back. It's was awesome. One of the better sushi restaurants around. Staff were amazing. Nice decor as well. read more

Love this place alot! I've been here 3 times already. Their lunch special is such a great bang for your buck. I ordered the lunch box special. You get a choice of a sushi roll, an side dish and a main protein dish. I get the tuna roll. The tuna inside is very thick and they don't skimp on it. I get the shrimp tempura for the side dish. This comes with 2 shrimp tempura, one eggplant, zucchini, broccoli and a sweet potato. That's 6 pieces of tempura! I also ordered the beef teriyaki. The quality of the mear is very good. It is soft and the sauce is amazing. Comes with broccoli and onion. You also get a miso soup and a salad with ginger sauce for appetizers. There's so much for for under $14. I recommend adding the ginger sauce in your rice for an extra kick. This place is a must try! read more

LUNCH TAKEOUT - My sister and I stumbled upon this place while visiting another store in the same plaza. We ordered some LUNCH SPECIALS (11am-3pm. served with miso soup, salad, and rice) and we LOVED the food! Staff was friendly too. Will definitely come back here when we're in the area next time. [CHIRASHI] - $12.95 - The sashimi was so fresh! (15pcs) They were also very decently sized slices. Great portions (I ended up with leftovers). For the price I think this is a steal!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. [SASHIMI LUNCH] - $12.95/12pc - Pretty much the same thing as Chirashi since you still get rice on the side. read more

Been going there for years and we always receive great food and service! I personally recommend the soba noodles, Manhattan Roll and the tempura ice cream. read more

Sakura Sushi is a hidden gem in a strip mall. The quality of the fish is always amazing.

Happened to pull off into a parking lot to check Yelp for a place to eat and Sakura Sushi popped up as one of the higher rated restaurants around so I gave it a go. As other reviewers mentioned, there seemed to be a number of regulars and the staff was dressed in traditional garb. Taking my cue from the reviews, I tried the hand rolled spicy salmon, the AK-47 and the scallop sashimi. To drink, some warm green tea and for desert the red bean mochi. Everything was very fresh, served quickly, but not rushed. The bill was returned promptly. All in all, a pleasant experience. The spicy salmon didn't blow my mind, but the AK47 wrapped in picked carrots (?) ginger (?) was amazing. One of the better new rolls I've tried in some time. read more

Went for lunch on a Saturday. Again wheelchair accessibility is now essential. Well, it is ! They have the lunch specials on Saturday which are a good deal. We had two shrimp tempura and one sashimi sushi lunch. Includes soup( miso) and salad. Food is good , price reasonable and service prompt. read more

This place is a gem I sort of don't want to share. They have incredibly fresh fish and good service who know to leave you alone. The stand outs are uni, scallops & Ikura. Bonus: BYO! read more

I love this place. Whenever we are in the area visiting family we always make a point to stop back here. Sakura has the best lunch special option I've ever had at a Japanese restaurant. I got the chirashi lunch special - $14.95 for chirashi with soup and salad. The serving staff is very friendly and the quality is above average. Give them a try! read more

Service was very slow on a Saturday night with only few tables of people (quite surprise that there were so many empty tables on the weekend).Still, we waited long for the waiter to get our order and serve the food. There was only one waiter. Food - sushi and sashimi were okay. Nabe yaki udon was not good. It has two pieces of shrimp tempura in it and both were already soft when the bowl arrived and all the tempura flakes (outer shell) fell apart as soon as I picked it up. All I left was the shrimp inside. There are also small pieces of boiled chicken inside and some small pieces of vegetables. We asked for hot tea. The tea was pretty diluted and no one came to refill. I think it's a bit pricey for the quality of food (at least for the udon) and also service. If you do go there, sushi is probably a better choice. read more

We have gone to this restaurant for many years. The food is fresh and authentic. The restaurant is clean and has a nice atmosphere. Staff are attentive and friendly. The sushi here is very good as are many other dishes. read more

Wow, great gyoza and sushi! Was really surprised at how good the quality and preparation of the food is here. Mediocre sushi joints are a dime a dozen across the state, but Sakura definitely stands out. The fish is incredibly fresh for such an unassuming location tucked away in your typical non-descript Jersey strip mall. I have struggled to find good sushi since spending time in Tokyo the last year. But I must say Sakura might be one of the best places I've tried since returning home. Glad we drove out of our way to try it. Will definitely return. read more

Great sushi for the price! Fast service & very affordable. The lunch combo portions are also superb. Been picking up from here a lot during COVID! read more

Best sushi & sashimi in the area, we literally won't go anywhere else. I order the chirashi with clear mushroom soup quite often & the sashimi is always fresh & delicious. Their spider roll is another personal fav & all of their spicy rolls are delicious. Never once have I had anything less than an amazing experience here. The staff is incredibly kind & they have some great lunch specials that are pretty generous portions. Throughout lockdown/ COVID they have been open & have served as a delightful at home dinner date for me and the boyfriend. I highly recommend ordering from here for your next sushi night, you will NOT be disappointed! read more

We went here for dinner the other night, and it was fantastic. This place does mostly takeout business so the dining room was pleasantly quiet with soft Japanese music in the background. The staff is very attentive and polite, and it's BYO so you can bring along a nice bottle of wine. The sushi was amazing. We only had maki rolls and some tuna sashimi, and some edamame for an appetizer. We had a few of the standard rolls (dragon, spider, rainbow) and a local special called the Godzilla roll, which is deep fried! Everything tasted wonderfully fresh and flavorful. Don't be fooled by the nearly empty dining room; the food is very good. read more

Went here last week and was completely disappointed. It was not busy when we arrived and we were seated right away. When a server didn't come for a while and I noticed other tables were not served I got that feeling that things would be going downhill quick. The night continued at this pace. Everything, yes everything, took forever. As people came in to get their takeout orders they waited too. The place is cramped so they had no choice to wait impatiently while watching us diners wait even more impatiently. I felt like a fish in a bowl. The food was ok, on par with an all you can eat sushi place. Definitely not worth the value. I just couldn't wait to get the check and go home. I will not return and would not recommend this place. If you want decent sushi for a great price go to Sushi Palace. If you want great sushi locally and are prepared to pay up for it, go to Shumi. read more

Always my go to sushi spot in the area. Super fresh and tasty. I've been going for years.

Absolutely love this place. Every dish/roll/sushi meal has been spot on. The service in person and even with take out through COVID has been wonderful. Best Spicy Salmon and Spicy Tuna around. I drive from Ringoes for the sushi. I know I will always be receiving good food from a clean/safe restaurant. read more

My family has been going to Sakura Sushi since we moved to Hillsborough in 2008, and it has been our go-to sushi destination every single time. The quality is unbeatable, the staff is lovely, and the total dining experience is perfect. A top-notch sushi restaurant for a affordable sushi price. Of course, much of the dining experience is lost with the current COVID-19 epidemic. But when my family craved sushi, we knew just who to call for take out, and they did not disappoint. The fish is as fresh as ever and they are taking all types of heath precautions to make sure the product they deliver is the finest and completely safe. I did not have an ounce of worry and it was exactly what I needed to bring the luxury of eating sushi out to my home. I will be returning to Sakura until I die, and even after then, I'll instruct my all of my future generations to do the same...and I'm in my mid-20s now so keep it coming, Sakura. read more
