    Godzilla Roll(12pcs), Dragon Roll, Spider Roll, and Chicago Bear Roll

    Good food and quick service! I've ordered from here a handful of times on DoorDash. They have reasonable prices, the sushi is always fresh and it's delivered quickly for dinner.

    Sushi & Sashimi Lunch
    Markus M.

    Fresh and tasty sushi and sashimi! This location is focused on take out, but has a couple tables available to eat in.

    Philadelphia Roll + crazy salmon roll
    Tsegaye K.

    Great little hole in the wall sport with amazing fresh made sushi . Been there 2wice with 2 girlfriends and absolutely LOVE everything we all got. The lunch special is pretty great, soup or salad and 2 or 3 traditional rolls. Avocado + salmon rolls are my fave along with miso soup and eel sauce. The food was freshly prepared really quickly and right there a few feet from you. The veggie egg rolls are also amazing (always hot and crispy). This will definitely be my go to spot for sushi Give them a try!!

    Rainbow Naruto Roll, Yellowtail Scallion Roll, Red Snapper, Cucumber Roll(6pcs)
    Nena C.

    Tried the lunch special and it didn't disappoint! First of all, the lunch special is available from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM EVERYDAY. Not just weekdays. We ordered takeout on Sunday April 24, 2022. Both of us ordered the lunch special 3 rolls which comes with either a miso soup or a house salad for $11.99- it's quite a deal!! I had the shrimp tempura, Philadelphia (smoked salmon, cream cheese, avocado), and the tuna avocado. Each was delicious. The only thing I forgot to ask for was ponzu (I love their ponzu), but I had some bottle brand at home, so not a big deal. He had the yellowtail scallion (which was oddly tiny), the Boston (salmon, cucumber, avocado), and the tuna avocado. He enjoyed them all. The miso soup was good/fine; nothing particularly special. As for the house salad- it's essentially lettuce with a few shreds of carrots and a creamy dressing. I'll prob order miso every time. Then we shared the 2022 roll. This has cilantro over white tuna and regular tuna atop a roll with cucumber, crunch, and jalapeño inside. It comes with a chili oil ponzu sauce. I prefer using ponzu that doesn't have chili oil. This roll is fresh and so tasty! One of my favs!

    This place is very good. I ordered steak with noodles. It tasted very similar to a Japanese steak house at only $12.00. Will ask for more garlic butter next time. Person over the phone was super nice and I got rid of the mushrooms and added broccoli. Definitely try this place out. I drove 20 minutes to get there. I got home and the food is still hot. I added some garlic powder and a little butter. Taste very similar to more expensive Japanese steak house.Noodles cooked perfectly.

    Volcano Roll(12pcs)
    Miguel P.

    First off, Volcano roll is a must have! Crispy, crunchy and delicious! Service was really friendly. Small cozy spot nothing fancy which is why it's called express! Sushi is fresh and had a very nice presentation. Sweet heart roll what sushi made into hearts! Perfect for a nice little date with your significant other. Spicy two in one roll was perfect but I didn't really favor the texture of the ingredients. Hands down, love this new little spot we found. A real gem

    I really like the food here. The issue is with the service. The last time we ordered I did pick up and waited a half hour longer than they said. I understood though bc I work in the food industry and they were busy. This time i ordered over two hours ago...still no food. They said it would be an hour. I live 5 minutes away but am drinking and figured I will pay the delivery bc its not worth it. Called 40 minutes ago... told the food was on the way. Still no food. Delivery driver called 15 minutes ago. I explained how to get to our house and that we were 5 minutes away (with traffic) still no food. Hopefully I'll get my cold ass noodles within the next 10-15 minutes. That was $118 order and they will not be getting my business or my 20% tip again. I tey to be understanding but come on!Just be honest with your times! I updated the star rating to account for the owner calling and apologizing for the poor service and cold food. I appreciate that they care.

    Miso soup mixed up
    Nikki M.

    TLDR: This place is fantastic. Everything we've had has been top notch. See photos. I can't recommend it enough. They deliver via Yelp/Grubhub. I've probably had half the menu with my partner so far, so I'll try my best to cover everything I can below: Clear Soup 5/5 This is so addictive. The broth is very flavorful. I can't get enough of it! I'd honestly eat this every day if I could. Ginger Salad 4/5 There is a great flavor to the dressing but it can be a bit watery. Still tasty! Appetizers: Gyoza 5/5 THE BEST. I don't think I've had better. Killer ponzu sauce. Just delicious. Get them! Baked Scallop 5/5 Excellent flavor. Delicious. Crab Rangoon 4/5 Plenty of filling, love that they'll toss a few in for free with a big order so that's awesome! Red sauce is too sweet for me. Tuna Tataki 4/5 Great presentation, big portion, sliced evenly, and the tuna itself was good but the sauce was too sticky and not amazing enough for me to order it all the time. I think something more sharp like a ponzu with some salt that penetrated the fish would be better. Sushi: Sashimi 5/5 This is where you truly see value in what you order. The sashimi portion is huge and presented gorgeously. If you prefer sashimi to nigiri this is 100% going to be your new favorite spot for getting a lot of sliced fish for not a lot of money. Boston Roll 5/5 Lovely version of what other places call Ebiku maki. Just love the dollop of mayo on the roll. It's a really good combination. Crazy Tuna 5/5 Great! I love taking the tuna off and dipping it in soy sauce separately only to enjoy the roll on its own. The spicy sauce on top is very good! Spicy 2-in-1 5/5 You will love this if you can't get enough of the fish-mayo-panko type of sushi. It's loaded with both spicy tuna and avocado on the inside & then spicy salmon on top. They are super generous on filling and it has a great texture. Hibachi 5/5 Lunch special is a very good value. I find it worth it to get the golden sauce and hibachi noodles for extra charge. My partner and I were able to eat from ONE chicken and steak combo for 2 days straight and it was the best hibachi I have ever eaten. Super impressed. Love the white sauce that comes with the chicken-- addictive! Miso Soup 1/5 The only thing I'm not crazy about from here. It is very watery and lacks seasoning. It's crying for salt and depth. Lots of seaweed & the tofu is chopped really small. Their clear soup is much, much better Okay I did my best to review all the items I've had thus far. I eat at higher end places frequently and I put Sakura right at the top of my list (#1) for Japanese in the suburbs. I honestly have not had better. They are better than Asian Harbor, Wu's, Sesame Inn, Woow's, Chi-Tung, Sushi Thaime, Blue Island Seafood, and Ichiban. Keep up the good work Sakura!

    I give this place 0 stars! False advertising. The pictures posted do not reflect the food I…read morereceived. I paid $42 for the most bland Chinese food I have ever eaten. The food has no taste with the fried rice being white and not nearly fried! They gave me anything. I called to complain and the manager told me "don't come here anymore". Don't patronize this restaurant!

    While visiting my sister over the weekend, we decided to order Chinese food for delivery. I ordered…read morean Egg Roll, which was good, nice, and crispy. For my entree, I ordered Hong Sue Chicken with vegetables. The chicken was good, with a fair amount of meat and nice-sized pieces, but I didn't care for the vegetables; there was not much crunch. I also ordered Chicken Fried Rice to share. I didn't care for it at all. My sister ordered Beef Chop Suey. She said the meat was tender, but it had this dark gravy sauce. She ordered the Chicken Lo Mein as a side dish to share but didn't like it. That was a disappointment again with the same dark gravy sauce. My sister asked the owner if she could get a free Egg Roll, and he said yes because it was over $25.00. That was a nice touch, but she asked me to try her Egg Roll because she said she had enough to eat, so I tried hers and took one bite. It didn't taste like mine, which was good, but not hers. The order taker charged a $4.00 delivery fee but didn't tell us because I gave him a cash tip, too. The delivery was fast, and the driver politely thanked us for our order. If you look at the lady's review from 03/17/24, mine was the same as hers. I would never go back to this restaurant again. I usually check the restaurant out first on Yelp, but my sister said her friend orders from there and likes it, so I trusted her judgment. We didn't save anything for later but instead gave everything to a homeless person.
