I have been meaning to visit this place for a while, and it finally happened!!…read more As always, my review is based on my experience. Went here for a date night. I had to add my name to their waiting list through the iPad in the front desk. Real quick and simple. We were seated within 10 minutes. The service is very different than usual. They explained us that once you look at the menu and are ready to ordered to buzz on the right hand corner and a server would come and take your order. The appetizers and ramen were very delicious. The broth had a lot of flavor. The place is very uniquely decorated. Just like a bee hive. Honeycomb nooks with tables and not comfy seats though. But I liked the ambiance and decorations! I highly recommend!!

Exceptional customer service but the flavor of food left much to be desired…read more My husband and I came in today on my birthday and ordered a couple of Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu bowls along with the deep fried gyoza dumplings as an appetizer. The gyoza dumplings were absolutely phenomenal. The sauce on top was delicious. They were perfectly crisp and overall the flavor will bring us back! The ramen bowls, whilst both were ordered with black garlic, one arrived with black and one arrived with white garlic broth (you can tell the difference by the flavor and the color of the broths in one of my uploaded pictures) The dark garlic bowl was by far better than the white garlic bowl. The white garlic broth was very fatty (there was a separated layer of oil on top) and was very bland in flavor. This in conjunction with the fact that there was absolutely no sort of sodium available whether through a sauce form or in the form of a salt shaker or something on the table, made a majority of the bowl inedible for me personally. The chashu pork was very good, the egg was nothing special, the other additions to the bowl didn't do much to aid it. At the end, I did try my husbands broth and it was a lot better than mine was and would've changed a lot of my feedback about my bowl. We also ordered the passion fruit drink from Tbaar and it was absolutely AMAZING. I will absolutely be back to grab this drink over and over again. The ambiance inside was great. We loved how they have the entire place set up, they're very fast to come to help when you press the button. You are otherwise not bothered at all. There's a ton of seating options. It looks really cool in there and the little booths have a curtain separator so it feels really private, which is nice. We will be back, we will probably just bring some salt with us next time.

It is Memphis and I really do not have high hope finding good sushi. However, as I eat vegan and…read moreneed a few vegan options in the area, to Sakura we go. First off, I must say they do provide some vegan options which is great. I got a couple of sushi rolls and a vegetable hibachi. The vegetable hibachi tasted plain but the mere fact that I can get a warm vegan meal is more than enough to compensate the lack of flavor. Then the option for those who can consume all aka the bf. He wasn't particularly hungry for sushi and decided to get a "small" maki as appetizer. As far as maki goes, this was the biggest size maki we've ever seen in the US. I didn't thing it was possible but they managed to make a roll twice its size elsewhere in the States. Quality of fish is not as fresh as the ones found in the coast but you sort of expect that. Flavor wise, he said it was good and check every box of an American Japanese maki roll. Definitely recommend if you like creative oversized sushi rolls.

They just ask steamed or fried rice. But if you say fried when you get the bill you'll see the up charge line itemed. Not sure if that's gonna apply to the lunch specials as well in 2026. It's served in a separate bowl that's heaping full ... but the wait staff's finger was dug deep inside the rice when carrying it. Never saw her before but it was a bit off putting. Super crowded on a Saturday night. Standing room only. Heard one person say best restaurant in town. Just an fyi, I found a bone in one of my sashimi. Never happened before. But just be mindful, especially if giving to your kids or if you're like me and stuff the whole piece in your mouth. In the past we used to come and the Chinese staff and owner were super nice to us. And that was part of the charm of always going back. Kinda like going to Cheers where everybody knows your name. Nowadays it really just seems more like any other business. And so times change. With that, I think we will take a break from making this our go to spot in the future.

When I'm trying out a new sushi restaurant, I like to go with my typical spicy tuna and rainbow…read moreroll. The spicy tuna was really bland. I also prefer when the tuna is diced, rather than a paste. The rainbow was ok, giving me mostly the flavor of the crab. Also, it seemed like the rice had a buttery taste. Service was quick and the waiter was attentive. They have a pretty good bar selection as well. Restaurant was clean with lots of seating. They had a pretty good crowd, but it wasn't noisy. Maybe I went on an "off night" so I'll give them another try the next time I'm in Memphis and update my review if needed.

The woman who is the hostess and helped with the takeout order was not happy and very abrasive in the way she spoke to myself and others getting orders. It was a bit challenging to understand her words, but when asked to repeat something, she was clearly upset by it. When we got our two different chicken entrees home, the chicken was very rubbery, fatty, and was thrown out. The vegetables also were not fresh, but seemed to be old or repetitiously heated. Maybe others have had better experiences. Even the best have off days, but there are other choices for this cuisine.

Every time we go it appears to be a social club. This time the hostess was sitting with his friends at the table. The staff is not appropriately dressed. The cleanliness is very poor. Chopsticks wrappers and straw wrappers were all over the floor. The tables were wiped down but still dirty. The only food we enjoyed the most was our sushi which was fresh and well prepared. The other dishes lack flavor and spice. Management should really consider doing something as I see this place is going down the drain quickly.

ABSOLUTE SLOP... I gave this restaurant three tries. The…read morefirst two attempts were mediocre at best, but I just got done eating the absolutely ***WORST*** Mexican "cuisine" meal of my life tonight, and trust me, I've eaten more Mexican food out than any other cuisine, stretching the entire United States, and a few in Mexico itself. I ordered al a carte as I typically do (for the variety and to see if they can do multiple dishes well). I received three main course items sloppily placed into a single container drowning in a chili powder and salt heavy sauce such that I could not taste the tortilla or protein...it all tasted like a chili powder salt lick (btw, I am NOT sensitive AT ALL to sodium...I have been home cooking for 3 decades and fully appreciate a well-seasoned dish). This was the worse slop I've ever eaten at a Mexican restaurant, and to boot, the meal cost $20 for three al a carte items and a small side of rice. At the counter, I asked for a small side of their spiciest salsa (which I always do) and they up-charged me $2 for a literally a single two ounce serving of what appeared to be their house salsa with a ton of guess what....a handful of chili powder in it. Their prices are absolute highway robbery for the quality of food they are serving, and it's quite obvious that since they are the only Mexican restaurant in this entire county, they are gouging the local Caucasian population that doesn't know any better. At this quality, their prices should be half of what they are, and if that were the case, you still wouldn't find me eating there. You'll get no more chances from me, you low-quality scam artists. Bye and good riddance.
