After a tip of from a friend in the area, however, I decided to roll the dice - or should i say, rice! I was greeted by an older lady with friendly face the moment I walked in the door. And after trying manfully but ultimately unsuccessfully to get the damn thing fully closed I took in my surroundings. I absorbed the brown colour scheme, three smallish tables and... I had taken in my surroundings. This was clearly one of those places were all the action was saved for the kitchen, or so i hoped. I looked up to see a menu board that boasted well over fifty items, including typical Japanese favourites (teriyaki noodles, Japanese curry) to more out of the box fare (octopus balls, eel). I went with a dish that was accompanied by a yummy looking photo and while I'm not entirely sure what the ingredients were it sure was tasty. As I ate I noticed the staff preparing fresh sushi rolls behind the counter and opted to try the spicy beef. Perhaps not a traditional choice but one I can heartily recommend. A sentiment that goes for Oishi Sushi also.

The only reason why I am not giving them 5 stars is occasionally the service is a tad on the slow side, but not ridiculously slow so please don't this turn you off. I have been to Japan and the dishes at Sakura are pretty authentic. Just thinking about their food makes me want to have dinner there tonight! Key dishes I recommend are their Salmon sashimi, their Chicken Karrage, and their tempaura vegetables.

Their sashimi and sushi is great but if that's not your thing, there are plenty of other options to satisfy a wide range of tastes. Service is friendly.

It's a welcome addition to the dining in the Gabba district.

We shared pork gyoza, dim sims, agedashi tofu, mixed sashimi and a few sushi rolls (salmon and avocado, soft shell crab, and tuna salad with grilled eel). We didn't enjoy the gyoza or the dim sims - they weren't the same quality as the rest of the meal. The tofu, sashimi and sushi rolls were delicious - but we thought that the fresh sashimi was the star!! The service is friendly, the prices are reasonable and BYO is a plus.

They are often swamped with delivery orders so it's not too hard to get a table for dine in. The foos is always made fresh with a high quality of ingredients. The best part is all the sauces and seasonings that come on each dish. I usually order a bunch of different smaller portions instead of one big item. I love to have a variety to choose from and that way I get to enjoy it all. Plus the chefs are very accommodating to dietary restrictions. Highly recommend!

You'll find it in the lane (Eden Lane) between Gibbon St & Hubert St. Parking is on street for both of these streets. It's find a table - we were outside in the evening cool, at a fixed table. Ordering is by QR code scan but the hard menus are there for those who like them. We were a table of 4 - quickly seated and provided water and glasses by a smiling waitress. We quickly ordered - service was efficient and friendly drinks / wine arrived - we sipped as the entrees and pizza was brought out. The Arancini balls were just right crisp on the outside melted on the inside and not scalding. Salad was excellent and well pizza was excellent - American style thin crust. One small inconvenience was it did start to rain although we were partially under cover- we did a quick pack up - with help from the waitresses. Will be going back. Yes it does takeaway.
