Usually popcorn shrimp, inari, house salad (dressing is bomb) and some others in the mix. Weird to see low reviews about wait times.. I guess people in the valley aren't use to waiting for GREAT food but that's what happens when a restaurant is that good. It's definitely one of the best that Visalia has. I think the ambience here is also the best in Visalia-- a very cool vibe and aesthetic. Staff are always nice and overall it's one of our favorite spots. Exited for Ramen Kuu and hoping there will be different broths (like miso or fish) on the menu!

I've tried a few sushi places here in Visalia and so far this place stands out. The portions are reasonable for the price you pay, the quality of the fish is 10/10, and the taste exceeded our expectations! Will definitely make this our regular spot! P.S. WAYYYY better than Sushi Kuu.

Absolutely delicious and wonderful service!…read more My husband and I come here every now and then when we're craving teriyaki or ramen, so I'm surprised I haven't left a review yet. Today my husband ordered the teriyaki chicken bento box. As usual, it's filling and delicious. I ordered the regular shoyu ramen. It's so flavorful and filling as well. I have nothing bad to say about this place. They're also so attentive and kind to their customers. Nelson was giving out origami animals to all the children that were eating in. It was so sweet.

Kaen Na Ramen & Sushi has become our favorite local sushi spot…read more The service has really come a long way and is top notch. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and on top of things. In our opinion, they have the best spicy ramen, rolls, and garlic edamame in town. The ramen is flavorful, the rolls are fresh and well made, and the garlic edamame is something we order every time. Literally, spoonfuls of sautéed garlic. Definitely one of our regular local go tos.

Giving it a 5 star rating not because of the ramen but because of our server…read more The ramen is average. If you've ever had ramen in Japan you'll understand. It's not bad but not good. The price is more affordable than that other place on Main Street. That's a plus and the presentation is good. There is a server there that speaks Japanese. I was able to place my order entirely in Japanese and every time she checked on us we communicated in Japanese. That was the best part. She made it a wonderful experience and I will be a regular customer for this alone. Gochisosama deshita!

The bbq chicken bowl was actually quite good. Dumplings were good but the stir fried noodles were ok. The service was great and it has a cute little decor.

Walking in the decor is really nice and it's extremely clean and organized here. It was a little after the lunch rush so there wasn't too many people. All the food is displayed nicely and it appeared to be fresh. I usually go for the sushi and they had quite the variety and the taste and quality was decent. They have plenty of Chinese style dishes, so I sampled some appetizers like egg rolls and tried some stirfry. I also tried the crab legs and crawfish and they were not bad. I'd say for the price, Sakura will do if you're hungry and craving a Chinese style buffet. It may not knock your socks off but it will fulfill the craving.
