    a neon sign for a japanese restaurant
    Eliza H.

    Holy smokes! Sakura is the real deal y'all! We made an impromptu dinner while staying in the area for the night. The food was beyond delicious and the price was fantastic! Seriously, we scarfed it. Inside is a bit of a mess, hence the drop of one star. If we lived in the area Sakura would be a very good problem for us. Happy eating Yelpers!

    Spicy tuna, Boston roll, avacado eel
    Bob S.

    Ordered miso soup, a spicy tuna roll, Boston roll (shrimp, lettuce, mayo), and an eel / avocado roll. Spicy tuna rolls are my favorite. This spicy tuna roll was fishy, not good. The other 2 rolls were good. The miso soup was different. It had something else in it, maybe lemon juice? Whatever it was, it made the miso soup better in my opinion. The prices are very cheap, but I'd rather pay more for fresh fish, and enjoy it.

    New owners than the original. Food quality and quantity have both gone down. They still offer a cheap meal if you need to get a Chinese fix and have a few dollars but I would go elsewhere for you others option's personally.

    Hibachi veggies

    The situation is, this is not the best sushi in town. It is however the best sushi in the East end. The food was adequate. I ordered hibachi vegetables which came with 4 cups of rice, steamed carrots and of course the veggies. Oh and it comes with an eggroll or salad all for $6.95. The food wasn't the most amazing but it was good enough that I will probably come back. The prices are reasonable. Specialty rolls will run about $5-9 each. The regular rolls (spicy tuna) were around $3. The service is quick enough that they have a drive thru.. If you want decent, cheap, quick sushi give this place a try.

    A drive-thru Japanese steak house? We had to try it out for ourselves. The inside looks like a fast food restaurant and they provide plastic plates/utensils. It was the old KFC- they haven't really changed much of the interior. It isn't fancy, but great for a casual meet up. The price is unbeatable. Free wifi is available. We got the sushi B, salmon, and tuna roll. Sushi B comes with a salad which does not come with much (see picture). Sushi was good. I would definitely come back! Staff was very friendly. The fish is what you pay for!

    Sakura 12 is awsome. It is a great place for really good affordable sushi and hand rolls. I can't get enough. I am addicted to this place. It is located at the corner of Loudon and Winchester in a not so good part of town, but the food more than makes up for it. The service is quick. I have only went through the drive thru here so I can't speak of what it looks like inside. Please note the mic for the drive thru is located at the back door of your car and the menu is at the front door. I sometimes have issue hearing them. I have also tried their hibachi which is also good. This place has a huge menu, but I truly just go here for the sushi. If you are in the area, stop in and give them a try. Their Pink Lady's are addictive. YUMMMMMM

    8 Piece Kamikaze Roll, 10 Piece Kobe Beef Roll, 8 Piece Sexy Girl Roll
    Kylen M.

    For a drive-thru, affordable sushi Sakura 12 is as good as it gets! The Kamikaze roll, Kobe beef roll, and sexy girl roll are all delicious. The crab rangoons are great as well. The service is quick and prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. Tonight we got our food about 7 minutes after first pulling up to the drive-thru and we got everything (3 specialty rolls and Rangoon's) for just under $30. Not bad!!! It's located in an old KFC building and not in the greatest part of town, plus the idea of drive-thru sushi had my boyfriend and I a little bit skeptical.. but I'm so glad we went! Been there twice now and 10/10 recommend.

    This is the House Salad...LOL...there are like, 3 lettuce leaves in here
    Brittany E.

    I love this place, but they literally gave me three leaves of lettuce in my house salad.

    I am so happy this place has opened up! Tasty sushi for a good price is hard to find. Don't be fooled by the fact they are in an old KFC building. It is certainly a place you should visit! Tip: If you like miso soup, it is worth it to buy here. The portion is fantastic!!!!

    Kamikaze roll that got knocked around a bit in the box. Tastes better than it looks, I promise!

The Valentine Roll is my personal favorite it's got that perfect mix of sweet and savory. The Dragon Roll is super flavorful too, and their poke bowl always hits the spot with fresh fish and a good balance of toppings. The staff are really nice, and service is fast, even during busy hours. It's also super close to campus, so it's perfect for a quick lunch or an easy dinner. Definitely a solid spot if you love sushi but don't want to spend too much. My go-to picks: Valentine Roll, Dragon Roll, and the Poke Bowl.

    Ordered Ginger Wasabi as takeout (we're 5 minutes away) and wasn't really impressed. We've…read morepreviously ordered via DoorDash and remembered it being good, but tonight our food was greasy and not well prepared. We ordered general Tso's and the chicken portion was tiny compared to the lo mein and was both soggy and overly chewy; we didn't mean to get lo mein, but it was my mistake as I selected lo mein instead of white rice. Not their fault, but that being said, our very unpicky teens did not like the lo mein - it was very greasy. Chicken fried rice had a ton of chicken but not much flavor and was also greasy. Also cost extra to add egg. Teriyaki chicken was a hit with the teens and we only order it as a side to save $ because there's always more than enough rice from other entrees. Ginger wasabi does really bring it with the appetizers, and the dumplings, crab rangoon and spring rolls were gone in a flash and were all excellent - perfectly cooked and tons of flavor. One teen tried their boba tea and was not happy with it - the mango was very floral and overpowering. All in all, this was a hit and miss experience and we will likely not order from here again except for maybe appetizers as there are other similarly priced options with more consistent preparation. I will call out that the staff here is very friendly and they have a quick turnaround on filling orders

Tonight I opted for some seaweed salad, two rolls (Incredible and Dancing Eel), and the Bourbon Tso's Chicken. Last time I didn't like the Curry Udon, so I'm going to give a different Entre a try. The service is friendly and the atmosphere quiet. There are only a couple of other customers here. I normally get sake but it's actually really warm out today, so I'm gonna pass and just go with some water. The seaweed salad came out quickly. It was really cold and crisp, just the way I like it! Yum. My Entre came out before my sushi rolls. Bummer. My mouth is watering in anticipation. I must be hungry. The sushi rolls are large so they will be filling. So far they both are delicious. These were a good choice. I'm not sold on the Bourbon Tso's chicken. It's essentially fried chicken nuggets with a watery glaze sauce on them. I think it would taste better if the sauce was thicker and less tangy. Im not sure what makes it bourbon? I couldn't get any hints of that in the taste. I'm glad I have the sushi to keep going back to, because it is really tasty. I like this place, I will definitely be back, but I think I'll pass on their entree in the future and just stick with the sushi. This is twice now, I've not liked the main dishes. Overall, I think this spot offers a nice dining experience.
