    I think this was the hamachi toro? I've never had such a thing before! It tasted like heaven!
    Howie J.

    Yoooooooo! An updated review long overdue! I've been back a couple times since last review and the fish has always been fresh. The owner/sushi master has always kept his standards when it comes to his fish. He don't play around! I'm so glad this last time I decided to get the sashimi combo, and got to taste some of the best sashimi I've ever had, the hamachi toro! I've never heard of such a thing, not to mention tasted it. As you can see in my picture, the hamachi toro is glistening white, and upon taking a bite through the flesh, it bounces back like how pasta be Al dente. Then it's just a punch in the face of juiciness and fattiness from this quality sashimi. Not to mention the lingering sweetness of an after taste. I don't think my words even did it justice. I wish all 20 pieces were hamachi toro, but then the owner would be broke trynna feed me... All the other fishes are good too. There's salmon, my favorite, and tuna toro, also my favorite. Maguro is lean tuna, so being a fattie myself, no comments! Keep up the good work sakura sushi!! Until next time, I'll be dreaming about and drooling over that hamachi toro!

    7 Pieces Nigiri and Spicy Tuna Roll
    Carole B.

    Tucked in an office park, this hidden sushi enclave felt like a true local treasure. The hostess was kind and the service was prompt. As for the sushi, no complaints. We did as our hostess suggested and tried the San Rafael roll, which did not disappoint. We also opted for the 7 piece nigiri which were all high quality and came with a spicy tuna roll. The decor was a little cluttered but in a homey way. We are happy to have found our new go-to to satisfy sushi cravings!

    Pearl & salmon lover rolls.
    Diane S.

    This is based on delivery only, but I plan to dine-in soon as sushi has been great... Super fresh tasting, well made sushi. Their menu has some nice options for salmon lovers like myself. I do notice they (wisely) add a nearly 30% surcharge to the price of their rolls when you order on an app, which is steep, but I get it. I'd rather a great spot do that than lose money on those orders and suffer for it! I'll report back after I dine-in, but definitely give this spot a try if you're in Marin and looking for sushi.

    Sakura Special
    Kevin R.

    It's a beautifully decorated space with lights and cherry blossoms all around the sushi bar. There is seating that wraps around the sushi bar and another 15+ tables, so it can hold a good sized capacity. However, due to the configuration of tables, probably wouldn't be good to have a group larger than 6. I wasn't particularly impressed by the 3 rolls I tried. If your palette is refined enough to enjoy nothing but the quality of fresh fish, you'll enjoy this place. I stick to sushi rolls because I like added flavor from sauces and different textures from other ingredients. Unfortunately, I didn't get much of that from the spicy tuna, San Rafael, or Sakura special rolls. The fish was fresh, but not much flavor. I wouldn't order the sakura special again. I was curious what it would be like to sub rice for cucumber but now I can see why that's not very popular. It had kind of a slimy texture that was tough to get down. This is a small critique but wanted to point out that the pieces in each roll are a bit too large. I was barely able to fit an entire piece in my mouth but my girlfriend was not able to at all. It made it difficult for her to eat them. A suggestion would be to cut the pieces maybe 2/3 of the size.

    Middle Sashimi combo
    Wuoquan L.

    This is one of best sushi in Marin.We order sashimi combo, smith ranch roll, double toro roll,fish is very fresh,price is reasonable,we will come back .

    House Special Roll California Roll

    I got the California roll and the Ramune drink and the Banana Tempura with mango ice cream and it was very good!!! The service was quick and also very good and the ambiance was also very good because it felt like a classic Japanese restaurant!!!

    Chicken Katsu Curry
    Jonathan L.

    I've been wanting to try this place since driving past it but I haven't had time. I decided it was finally time to give them a try. The location can be easy to miss as it's inside a parking complex way across from the movie theater. I love that there is plenty of parking however. I ordered online ahead of time so I can't really review the service/dining experience. 1. Chicken Katsu Curry: Absolutely delicious. There are a large amount of chicken and it was perfectly fried. It honestly didn't even need the curry but I appreciated that they packed it on the side so the chicken didn't get soggy. highly recommend! 2. Chicken Teriyaki: Pretty good but no where as good as the katsu curry. Typical chicken teriyaki. The sauce was good which I loved. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall, I really liked the food here. It was high quality and delicious. A bit on the pricey side however. I think it was $40ish for both dishes together (about $20 each) which is a bit more than avg but the quality and portion size was good. I'll definitely be back!

    Been wanting to checkout Sakura after hearing about it for friends for awhile now. So when we had to be in SR for a meeting, we decided to have a nice long Friday afternoon lunch here. Nice easy parking in the office building lot. Look for the sign to turn into the lot because you might miss it thinking it's just an office building. It's nicely tucked away in a corner. Too bad it was raining because the outside looks like a nice option for views and atmosphere if the weather was better. The server Jessica is amazing! She's so welcoming and friendly, and gives great advice on what's new and fresh. Ask her, she's a great resource. We decided to splurge and got the blue fin and hamachi toro, a chirashi bowl (great selections!), and a hamachi kama/collar as a starter. All were really amazing! The kama was so soft and flaky, melting our mouths and the homemade sauce was a perfect complement. The chirashi bowl was packed and what a delicious and aesthetically beautiful selection! But the best we're the toros -- we only got the nigiri (2 pieces) and didn't get the salmon toro but next time we will get the sashimi (5 pieces) of all 3! So fresh and beautifully presented (see ny pics!) Can't wait to come back. Just looking back at our pics makes us hungry for more Sakura!

I also had lemon chicken and beef and broccoli. I expected the lemon chicken to be similar to sweet and sour chicken/pork or orange chicken where the batter/outside is fried and crispy and the chicken/pork in the center is seasoned and tender. The batter/outside was for lack of a better word "soggy" but the saucy was lemon forward with a slight tang. I'll rate it a 5/10. The beef and broccoli had a strong ginger flavor that I was a fan of, so I would rate it a 2/10. The service was fast and attentive and the restaurant itself is average not fancy and not rundown. I've already visited again and my opinion has not changed.

What made it worse was watching them clear two other tables, seat new families there, and fully set those tables up -- all while we were still sitting there with zero service. It was obvious we were not a priority at all. The only moment anyone looked our way was when we finally got up and walked out -- and not a single person attempted to apologize or stop us. That level of indifference says everything. Absolutely unacceptable service. We will never return.
