Sushi in a very simple form. This is what I need from sushi. I don't need flashy plates or unique flavors. I just want fresh, flavorful food. Cherry's delivers on that. Had the unagi caterpillar roll which is a cooked freshwater eel roll topped with avocado and eel sauce. Amazing. One of the best I've ever tried. My wife started stealing from my plate. The service is friendly and the ambiance is casual, perfect for the average customer. Come give it a try! read more

Cherry’s Nagani - Front counter and sushi photos - Sushi Bars Near Me - Keizer, Oregon

Ambience is a bit weird, but the food is fantastic. Every roll is well made. Definitely worth it if you you're in keizer and craving sushi.

Pretty confused by how great these reviews are. My shoyu chicken was just microwaved as I was waiting and they re-added some teriyaki on top. You could taste it. The California roll was oddly sweet and even though it's a basic roll, I've had better in a cafeteria. Really a bit disappointed. read more

Me and my boyfriend ordered the cucumber maki, salmon maki, nigiri combo, unagi catapillar roll, and the chicken and shrimp noodle soup. All of the sushi was very fresh and tasted good. The maki rolls were large. The nigiri had big slices of fish. The unagi is good but did have a bit too much avocado on the top. We had asked for the curry chicken noodle soup but they were out so we got the chicken and shrimp noodle soup. We were bummed but it turned out delicious and just made us more excited to come back and try the curry. Service was slow but the 2 women helping us were very sweet. Make sure you read what it says on the menu and not just go off of the pictures on the wall. The nirgiri came with different fish than what was pictured. read more

Tiny little place, next ti where my daughter gets her nails done. Decided to try it out..was taken back by how small it is..but seemed very clean. Was welcomed by a lovely old gentleman..who got us started on tea. and our order. We ordered a couple of rolls..which were good value a few pieces of nigiri and a couple of maki rolls..yes we were hungry. All satisfactory and all very relaxed..also met the lady that made the food ..very nice person. Nice relaxed little "mom and pop" place. read more

Their sushi is great! Healthy, filling, fresh and delicious, just the way I like it. Feels and tastes like you are getting a home cooked meal. California has nothing on this sushi!! ^_^ And yes Cherry talks to her customers. If you are anti-social (even more so than me!) and you want someone who just takes orders and basically ignores you, go to sushi kyo. It is not the best, but you won't be "bothered" (heck, I've had issues just getting a refill). Now, you want someone who is friendly and remembers you, go see Cherry. Now, I have to counter one specific review... in the years I've been going there I've never been hit by a wall of fragrance going in. I'm willing to bet there was something out of their control before the reviewer walked in, like a customer wearing too much perfume. I just went there today and can't remember any strong smells. Also, my mom didn't have any issues when I took her there and she is allergic to a lot of fragrances. So don't take this off your list of places to eat just because a reviewer went there once, for a few seconds, and decided they knew enough to leave a review. read more

I was welcomed very warmly upon my first step in. I chose a seat by their menu board that had some pictures of their popular rolls and combos. Prices are excellent and the food is fresh. The crab is real crab! So delicious. I went for the Keizer roll with crab, next time I need to order it spicey. Not quite filling so I went for the Unagi Caterpillar, fresh and light. Very refreshing taste. They appear limited on their spicey rolls, but the fresh everything earns them a four :) read more

Oh my goodness a friend chose this for lunch and it was delicious! The lady was very nice and we saw her and the gentlemen prepare all our food while we sat and waited. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. read more

Visiting family from California and was craving some sushi so I stopped by Cherry's Nagani and glad I did. Portion sizes are huge compared to what we get back home and the quality was really good. The owners even made one of my favorites from back home. Good menu, good portions, a must try if you're in the area. read more

I miss you guys; loved eating here when I lived in Keizer; all of the love and all the best for your business. Best sushi I have ever had and the satff is friendly! read more

This is a little mom and pop store that serves extremely fresh, massive rolls!!! Cherry is extremly sweet and definetly won me over with her rainbow roll and Philadelphia roll. read more

Below average sushi and was expensive for what we got, I feel so misled by the good reviews. Is there really no good, real sushi in the Salem area?? The menu is confusing (no details about what is in each roll), poor communication about what was in the rolls, and she tried to push us to order a sauce on each of our rolls. That was a warning sign there - if it was good quality fish it would not need any sauce on top. We had a bad feeling but she seemed so nice and great reviews, so we stayed. They gave us the wrong roll - ok fine, just let me know before you make it and I will pick something else. Don't bring an entirely different roll without telling me. The second roll I ordered was filled with imitation crabstick, when before I ordered she had confirmed with me that there would only be fish inside the roll. Crabstick is not fish, it is processed fish flavored like crab. No apologies, she just told me to take it out if I didn't like it. Fair enough, but at that point the whole roll tastes like imitation crab and on top of it, the real fish was very poor quality and definitely not sushi quality or fresh. The pieces of sushi/fish were generous and she kept (annoyingly) pointing that out, but poor quality fish is not tasty so I couldn't enjoy it. I guess their rolls really need sauce. Awful. $35 for 4 terrible rolls and a manic lady talking AT me almost the entire time...never again. read more

Don't order to go. I went it once and had a good experience, prices were a little high but I enjoyed supporting a family business. So I wanted to return. I called in a to go order of 1 rainbow roll and 1 California hand roll - both with no sauces or sesame seeds. I even repeated my order a few times to ensure he wrote it down properly and he said he got it. When I got there I paid for my food while they finished making it ($17). I opened up my box and it was 1 rainbow roll (correct) and 1 California roll with sesame seeds (not a hand roll, and had seeds). I pointed out the mistake and she basically repeatedly told me that her husband didnt know English very well and must have misheard me, but that she would not give me my money back or make me the correct item. She kept telling me if I wanted the hand roll I would have to pay another $12 for them to make it. We went in circles about this until I got so frustrated I just left. I wanted her to either refund the money, or make me what I actually ordered. She basically admitted they probably took the order wrong, but refused to fix their mistake in any shape or form unless I was gonna pay another $12. Bummer. read more

My partner and I dined here the other day. What an amazing place. Cherry, the owner was friendly and helpful with our choices. The sushi was flavorful and filling. I had her lemongrass chicken and my partner had several rolls. The lemongrass chicken was absolutely amazing. Warm flavors and sweet undertones made this dish like no others I have ever tasted. Her side salad was also amazing, not too sweet and nicely balanced against the chicken. Before leaving she encouraged us to try the eel. I declined but my partner dove right in. He said it was spectacular. Seating is limited, and as this place gets more popular, it may become an issue. As we sat there dining, many folks came in and got orders to go, so that may be a way to get your sushi and eat it too! The prices are about average for the Salem area, so you won't break the bank. read more

First off, this restaurant claims to be over 4 stars which I'm just dumbfounded by because it's not even close to it. I came on a Friday evening. Super small inside and the Ac wasn't on, I was extremely I and my brother asked for some iced waters. The lady whom I think was the owner said that the faucet doesn't run good water and it's "not good" so she offered us some bottled water for $1. Which I quickly said no thanks. WHAT RESTURANT DOESNT SERVE FREE WATER OR HAVE A RUNNING FAUCET!?! We waited and waited finally got our sushi. I asked which was which they didn't even know. The spicy mayo was not. It was a pile of mayo with a splash of soy sauce. Got 3 rolls for $26! Never again will I return to this place. Wasn't satisfied, wasn't full and very disappointed. read more

Cherry’s Nagani - Dragon roll on the left. California roll on the right. Only difference is the dragon roll has cream cheese. Not tasteful!!!!!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Keizer, Oregon

Good sushi in Salem area Clean little place Service is good. Owner is very enthusiastic about her sushi Pictures help a lot in selections Keep it up Will be back read more

Extremely nice wife and husband team. Cherry is an absolute sweetheart. The eggflower soup is housemade on the spot, which is very delectable. But coming from California the sushi is not up to par. Poorly executed and constructed rolls. The smoked salmon Pbilly Roll was topped with burnt sesame seeds which were awesomly over powering in a bad way. Also the smelt roe was so frozen it almosts hurts to eat. All in all we left unsatisfied and disappointed. Will we find good sushi here in Oregon? P.S. no free water. read more

My husband and I have been here several times. We go here whenever we are craving sushi. It is definitely in our top 3 (the others are in Las Vegas). Try the rainbow roll, Keizer roll and the spicy tuna. You will not be disappointed! read more

Cherry, the owner, was very friendly and really pushed for me to try her sushi, which she calls the best in town. I had a curry craving, so I ordered the chicken curry bowl instead ($4.95). I really liked the color of the curry. A very deep brown-yellow color reminiscent of the way my mom prepared hers. I would have liked bolder curry flavor, but instead I got hit with a bunch of sweetness, probably from the sweetness of the carrots and perhaps some sort of sweetener added to the entree itself. Perhaps adding some onion, celery, and/or some more spice could improve the dish. The curry just felt and looked a bit too one-dimensional. The sushi prices can get quite pricey, so if I do try that, I'll be expecting some top-notch stuff, especially after the hype the owner gave. read more

Best egg drop soup you'll ever have!!! and the owners (especially the wife) are the sweetest people ever. It's like having Sushi at your mom's or grandma's kitchen. If you like a small homey feel you'll love this place. Only thing is they don't offer any fried rolls, but everything is really fresh and beautifully made. read more

Very enjoyable experience. Definitely a must for sushi lovers! Food: Best sushi I've probably ever had Service: The owner served us and was the sweetest person and so attentive Venue: Odd location in a low end strip mall for such good food. Odd decor. Very clean! read more

Very good chicken and shrimp soup. The broth was very tasty and seasoned. I am going back to try some of their sushi rolls.

Way over priced. Wouldn't even provide a glass of water to a customer that was choking. Better food and price at momiji

Small shop, very clean and pleasant. Owner and husband run the place, and she's very friendly and enthusiastic. If you're new to sushi, she is happy to teach you what you need to know. There's a good selection of options. We had the rainbow roll (it was awesome), hand rolls (one ahi, one salmon), sashimi (ahi, salmon, yellowtail, and one more variety, served with a bit of rice on the side), and nigiri plate. All of them tasty, well made, and pretty. There are pictures of all the items on the wall, which is helpful. The menu clearly marks which items are cooked, and which are vegetarian. Highly recommended -- one of the best restaurants in Salem! read more

Hard to find but worth it!! Tucked behind two adjacent buildings is this cute sushi place run by the sweetest lady ever and her husband! Everything is prepared right in front of you, and made to order. Thick pieces of fish (salmon and unagi) inside the rolls make it worth the price! I felt like I was eating dinner with my grandma, she's so sweet and loves to chat with customers! :) Highly recommend this place, found it on a whim but will definitely be back! read more

Sushi is really fresh. Yellow fin tuna was do good. Really like this place and will definitely be coming back.

We stopped in driving from Washington to California. Cherry and her husband are super sweet and gracious hosts. The Egg Drop soup was super good and fresh! My husband had the spicy tuna dragon roll and the tuna was amazing! Everything was fresh and yummy! Just a note: Mainly sushi and a few other dishes. No bento boxes or anything like that, but if you love sushi, this is a great place! read more

Good sushi! Very friendly. We enjoyed our lunch here. Too bad it a long drive for us.

The owners are nice. The place is clean. The fish is brined or frozen... not fresh if that's what you are looking for. Large sushi Saki pieces instead of small delicate ones with fat lines turned me off instantly. I had also asked for a philly hand roll, and she just cut my roll into bigger pieces. Bottom line, place is nice but if you're an avid sushi fan, i wouldn't come here. The fish is "fishy" tasting, and doesn't taste fresh at all.I payed for my meal, but ate only a few pieces, I tossed the rest read more

Incredible, fresh, high quality sushi. Very authentic offerings. Small seating area, amazing service. This place feels like the Cheers of Sushi restaurants. Every time we go in, Cherry knows us by name, and always asks how we are. Sweet family, local business, excellent food. read more

Cherry's is the best Salem sushi that I have experienced so far. I have been there 3 times and have always been impressed with the taste, friendliness and freshness. We usually start with the cucumber salad which is cold and fresh prepared. Always a nice way to begin. Any of the rolls or sashimi that we have tried so far have been excellent. A few times she has recommended letting her prepare it "home-style", which basically means a heaping helping of roe on top :) Cherry and her Husband are from Hawai'i. I don't know enough about sushi to know whether or not Hawai'i has developed it's own signature, but it's definitely unique in terms of Salem/Portland's offerings. The curry is also excellent. I was hesistant to try it at first, as from my experience curry dishes in a restaurant that offers primarily sushi are generally somewhat of an after-thought. However it is very obvious that her curry is thoughtfully-prepared and has a very stew-like, satisfying quality to it. I would highly recommend Cherry's Nagani! read more

my boyfriend and I are new to the area. moving from an area where sushi was popular, i was in search of a new favorite! I looked on yelp for some help :) I saw that other places although many reviews, didnt have good reviews. I suggested this one afternoon and super glad that we stopped by! It was quite but we had a good talk with the owners, nice pot of tea on a cold Salem day & yummy sushi that makes me come back for more! :) my boyfriend tried tried the rainbow roll which he LOVED. I forgot what I had being it was awhile ago but whatever it was... it was delicious!! read more

Pretty good sushi place is a bit small bite nice owner's that serve and cook/prepare food but 1 thing it's a bit pricey.

Our new go-to sushi spot! The prices are pretty standard (maybe a little higher than some other spots) and their rolls have twice the fish than any other place! I don't really like egg flower soup, but theirs was actually really good. The service was incredible. The lady was very friendly with my son and treated him like her own grandson. I don't want sushi from any other place now. Simply amazing. read more

It's a very small place, but thats the beauty of it. It's very homey and the owners are very kind and helpful. The restaurant was empty when I arrived and they were very welcoming, they pointed out their favorites on their menu and engaged in very pleasant conversation. I decided to order a curry rice bowl, a spicy tuna roll and the well known California roll. The curry was very delicious. I would say their portion was rather small so it seemed a bit pricey for the bowl. The sushi was very fresh, I can tell they used higher quality ingredients, not only in the texture but in the taste as well. I would recommend this place for a nice evening out. Bringing a date here seems like a good idea because the owners are so friendly they can help out if stuck in an uncomfortable moment. Lol. read more
