    Been here a few times now and got their sushi lunch special. Decent sushi at decent price. It's a small carry out with 2 booths. Not intentionally for dine in. They're always friendly and nice. Which is why I'll keep coming back. I liked that the lunch special comes with a big container of soy sauce and miso soup. As a matter of fact, I might stop by for some sushi today

    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)

    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!

    This place is great for a quick Hibachi lunch. Very reasonably priced and friendly. Haven't tried the sushi yet, but next time I will.

We chose the restaurant side and it has nice decor. They also have a lot with ample parking. Staff is warm and friendly. I do not remember the name of our waitress; however, she wore a traditional Japanese kimono and was very pleasant. I ordered a frozen pina colada and hubby ordered the frozen strawberry daiquiri. We started with potstickers. For our entrees, we ordered jumbo shrimp fried rice, shrimp with lobster sauce and shrimp pad see eiw. We enjoyed everything we ordered. There were quite a few patrons in the hibachi section which is where we plan on trying next time we stop in. Definitely a neighborhood staple and highly recommend if you're in the area.

We have dined-in, used carry out, and even catered for Christmas parties. We loved this place, until my most recent experience. On Tuesday, June 23, I wanted sushi and panang curry for my birthday dinner. It's a 30 minute drive from my house so 1 hour round trip to get carry out. I love their food so I was willing to make the trip - I ordered $160+ worth of food for a family of 5. Pick up was no problem. However, the overall quality of the food was TERRIBLE - super bland with all of the sushi rolls and even my fave roll from there, Godzilla was just AWFUL - didn't taste anything like it normally does. Three-fourths of the order was sushi so that was super disappointing. My daughters' chow mein didn't have any noodles - it was just straight vegetables. She wouldn't eat it bc she wanted the noodles. The panang curry was the only thing that tasted good, but that was only a small part of the order. I was able to speak to the manager (Peg) on the phone a couple days later and explained to her my experience and she basically acted like I was lying, making the whole thing up. That I was supposed to save the food we didn't eat in a cooler and bring it back to the restaurant that day to get some form of refund. That was the policy. Not only that, she also said their recipe has not changed nor had anyone else complain about the food that day. I explained that we already threw out the food so that wouldn't be feasible and she basically said then there was nothing she could do and that she had to follow this policy. I'm sorry but I'm not driving an hour to return the bad food that a restaurant served me - 1. How is that sanitary? 2. Why are you calling a loyal long time customer basically a liar? 3. What kind of customer service doesn't offer anything to a customer that had a bad experience at your restaurant? She didn't seem to care when I told her that MY FAMILY AND I WILL NEVER COME BACK! I couldn't believe that's how a manager would treat a customer especially one that had been coming back for many years and recommends it to others. NEVER AGAIN! BOTTOM LINE: RUN, this place has definitely gone downhill and their customer service is the worse I've ever seen. The only way to save this place is fire that manager, fix the quality of your food, and treat your customers better

My server, India, was very sweet, attentive, and informative! I truly appreciated her service and hospitality. Now let's get to my favorite part -- THE FOOD!!! I started with the fried chicken bao bun 10000/10. Very crispy, the flavors from everything meshed well and were just so delicious! This was my first time trying a bao bun and it was a great first impression!!! For my meal, I had the crispy chicken ramen -- first time for this as well -- and babyyyyyy, I may have found a new love!!! Everything about the bowl was amazing. The chicken was fried so good that even in the broth it still had crunch, and there were enough noodles for two servings if you ask me, esp since I had leftovers!! The corn and cabbage were also a good touch and I added egg! Lovedddddd this bowl. Perfect amount of spice and flavor!! Will be returning!!!! I also tried the lychee mango tea... bombbbbbb!!!! So fire okay! If you're ever in the area and want some good ramen, def give them a try!

Lot of rice and pieces of beef that was a little chewy. Topping was ok but not what I expected. Next I had the gyoza, it was ok but the dipping sauce was good. Services was good.
