DO NOT EAT HERE I got food poisoning from this restaurant after eating sushi and was violently sick for HOURS, throwing up nonstop until around 3 a.m. This was not mild discomfort. It was painful, exhausting, and completely unacceptable. This was the only food I ate that night. When I called the restaurant the next day, the manager showed zero concern, never apologized, and immediately asked if I had a doctor's note. I was told that when situations like this happen, the owner instructs them to request a doctor's note so it can be "submitted to insurance." I did not go to a doctor at 3 a.m. while puking my brains up. They were also able to pull up my online order immediately, so there was no question that I ate there. All I asked for was a $46 refund for food that made me severely ill. That's it. I even said I wouldn't leave a review or take any further action just basic accountability and AN APOLOGY WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE. The owner was supposed to call me. It's been 48 hours and they never did. While having policies isn't inherently a problem, the way this was handled, with no hesitation, no empathy, and no follow-up, made it feel like this is something they deal with regularly. That is extremely concerning, especially for a restaurant serving raw fish. After my experience, a friend also told me she got food poisoning from this place. The complete lack of empathy, accountability, and follow-up is deeply troubling. If customer safety were a priority, this would have been handled very differently. If you value your health, do not eat here. read more

Good food service was excellent I had the best meal from them. Delivery wa excellent

Very busy restaurant. Lots of wait staff. I salmon teriyaki was pretty dry. But I must say the ginger salad , grilled miso eggplant, and miso soup were great. Rice was good and the veggies for fresh & flavorful. People eating sushi seem to be pretty happy . read more

The food was extremely good for the price, the Alaskan Roll was $4.50 and the specialty roll (I can't remember the name) cost $11. The dining room was very busy but once we got seated and ordered it only took about 10 minutes for the rolls to come out. Our server was great and checked in to refill our drinks a few times throughout our meal. read more

Sakura Japanese Restaurant - The Alaskan roll and a specialty roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bensalem, Pennsylvania

Went for an early lunch for the first time here. Ambiance is good, appears clean enough and staff seems friendly. Sushi was goodish, avocado was browned. A very crazy thing, the soy sauce was very clearly watered down. I have never seen that before and it was beyond obvious. The hibachi wasn't top notch, rice was unseasoned besides pepper and the noodles actually tasted like dishwater. We did mention the noodles and were still charged for them even though they were inedible. It's byob and they will heat up sake that you bring. There is no table show for hibachi just fyi they bring it out from kitchen. All around ok, not good not bad. read more

This place use to be my favorite go to restaurant for sushi until on two different occasions I ordered sushi from there and they gave me bad shrimp! I haven't been back since. I was very disappointed, I been going here for yrs; before they even switched over. I can understand if you don't know that something is bad due to lack of smell but if you're cutting the rolls you can clearly see it's bad! read more

My go-to spot for sushi in the area. I always leave satisfied and full. We opted to eat in this time opposed to takeout. This place is BYOB and will even warm your sake for you. Our sever was very attentive and friendly! The side of hibachi noodles was a big portion and delicious. Sushi is fresh always. It's a fantastic spot for an interactive and enjoyable meal. Perfect for groups, special occasions, or just a fun night out. read more

I eat here all the time but it's usually take out. This time we ate in and I think it tasted sooo much better if that's even possible. We get sushi from here all the time and it never disappoints. The service was great as well. I love this place. read more

Spicy salmon roll was bad - salmon was rotten or something. Took one bite and spit it out. The sashimi I ordered was stringy and flavorless. I ended up throwing out the majority of the order. I order from Sakura often, but this time was EXTREMELY disappointing. NOT HAPPY. read more

Came in for lunch with a party of 3 for the first time. Ended up ordering a bento box which came with vegetable tempura and chicken and shrimp tempura. It was a nice size box with many different items. The bento box also came with with 2 sushi rolls and I ended up getting some extra rolls for the table. Everything tasted so good and was fresh. The customer service was great and the service was fast. The menu is huge and there's so many items to choose. My aunt had the hibachi because shes not a fan of sushi, and she was raving about how delicious it tasted. read more

Some of my families favorites are their salt and pepper crab and their lobster which you have to wait in lign for because so many people want it. read more

A napkin was mixed in with the ginger on the side of my take-out order. I went the next day and was accused of putting it there myself. I was a frequent dine-in and take-out customer. All I was asking for was a credit, replacement or refund. For a $10 roll they lost a regular customer and received a poor review on yelp. read more

This is so far my go-to sushi restaurant and I have been to a handful of sushi restaurants. Me and my boyfriend are about 35 minutes away from here and we would still take the drive for this place. Every thing tastes delicious and the service is great. They have a huge selection of rolls, hibachi, bento boxes, sashimi, appetizers and more. Their sushi is 50% off which is a great deal in my opinion. Their rolls are also great quality and never disappoints. I have gone so often, I think I have already ordered everything on the menu at least once! They do however get busy on the weekends and at night due to limited seating so keep that in mind. I highly recommend the Avocado Blossom. It has a mixture of lettuce, kani, avocado, and some other things with a delicious sauce. Definitely give this place a try if you already haven't! read more

Overall I enjoyed the apps more than the rolls. The rolls were good but they glazed with the sweet eel sauce on some of the rolls....I felt that some of their sashimi were not as fresh as they had a weird after taste...so it wasn't the freshest fish but considering the price I guess I can't have too high standards. Apps: hamachi kama, seaweed salad, softshell crab Rolls: shrimp tempura roll, eel roll, dragon roll and one special one. Sashimi: tuna, salmon, scallop, and one other fish that escapes me at the moment. Ordered chicken pad thai as take out for my little sister and she said it was good so gonna say that's good. Price Quality For all the items pictured total spent after tip was about $80 for two people...so it's not too bad but an AYCE sushi place is definitely better though they're roll selections would be smaller than Sakura. read more

My family and I were in town visiting and stopped in based on recommendations. The place was really busy, but we were seated quickly. I typically just stick to what I know in places like this, but my kids are very familiar and ordered a variety. For appetizers, we had the Beef Negimaki, which was tender, cooked to the right temp, and came out hot. The Crispy Calamari looked like frozen onion rings and tasted worse, according to my kids. They were rubbery. My son had the Takoyaki, and he said it was good overall but a little overcooked. The hibachi was typical hibachi, but it was fresh and came to the table hot. The vegetable noodles were full of flavor, the vegetables were tender, and the noodles were cooked well. We also had sushi, of course. The Shrimp Tempura was good, a safe option. The Spicy Dancing Prawn Roll did not meet expectation; the sushi lacked flavor and was topped with these tiny shrimp that were cold and also lacked flavor. The Buffalo Roll was very tasty, though, steak cooked on the medium side, seasoned and paired well with the crab (This was the best roll of that order in my opinion). The Golden Lobster Roll was delicious, and the sliced salmon added an extra bonus to the palette. My son had a Soft Shell Crab Roll, but was not impressed with the flavor overall. He also had two pieces of raw sashimi and octopus. He loved it. Service was okay, but they were busy and multiple servers were attentive to our needs if they saw us waiting too long. Overall, I would go back, but only for certain items. read more

This has been our go to sushi place since it opened. Always fresh ingredients , amazing changing menu as well as an always available 50% off menu. This is available for both indoor and takeaway. As of this writing they are just doing takeout Call or go online to order and your selections are available at the door with a very safe setup for pickup. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. There is such a big selection that I can't possibly list all of the things we have tried. There have always been more winners than ones we were disappointed in. Byo also keeps the price down. Can't wait till they're fully open again. Very cute inside - more tables than you would expect. read more

The tuna pizza is top notch and customer service is great. Very clean and cozy restaurant.

Sushi was Amazing! We drove over the bridge just for this sushi because it's so delicious. The fish is so fresh & the rolls hearty. They don't go overboard with rice fillers. You can't beat the price either- very reasonable! read more

Tasty sushi rolls with good quality fish for a very good price! They also have some interesting sashimi rolls without rice and a large selection of special rolls. Our fav things to get are the spicy scallop roll and the salmon garlic sashimi roll! They also have other foods like fried rice, teriyaki, and udon, but we mainly stick to the rolls :) read more

The shrimp tempura for $11.95 barely had any shrimp in it. It was all batter. We didn't even receive as many pieces as the online photo posted by the restaurant showed next to the menu item. Disappointed with the quality control. read more

Service was horrible. I have a feeling it had something to do with our skin color. The waitress treated us very poorly. Not welcoming at ALL. Not kind at all. Extremely rude and dismissive. She also watched us eat from across the restaurant which I felt was odd. The food was great. And I'm glad that the customer service didn't affect how we were able to enjoy our food! But I have to give 2 stars because the waitress was absolutely horrible. read more

I've been coming here for years, always leaving happy. This recent experience was not what I expected. The sushi seemed of lower quality and was not rolled and presented like I'm accustomed to. Service is always good. If this were my first visit, I would not be impressed. Hoping this was just a one off experience. read more

This was decent sushi but we were not Wowed by it. Service was good and they are taking precautions for Covid. Sumo roll and spicy dragon roll were just ok. Steak & Lobster Hibachi plate was actually very good. Both the steak & the lobster were tender. I did order their avocado peanut roll. Who knew avocado and peanuts would be good together? Well, they are great together! It was my favorite thing. We would probably eat here again but it wouldn't be our first choice. read more

A coworker friend and I ordered from Sakura on State Rd. for pick up. They combined our orders, giving us one little container of soy, and one small clump of wasabi. The miso soup I got had one tiny little piece of tofu and one small piece of seaweed. The sweet potato roll was hard and disgusting tasting. Will definitely not be going back. read more

Always come here for sushi bc they definately have the best deals compared to other places I have been. You can't really beat 50% off sushi (now this is there regular prices everyday.) You definately need to go during non peak hours if you don't want to wait (as they do get extremely busy from their amazing priced sushi), but if you do go during peak times, the wait is never long. They are good at what they do and have pretty fast turnover. Spicy Miami Roll.- Mmm!! I love anything that has a kick to it. This is by far my favorite! Beef yaki Udon- sooo good! They give a nice size portion and the sauce flavoring is perfect. It's also not drowned in tons of veggies with a tiny bit of meat. They give you a good amount of meat so it's def worth the money you spend on it. Age Tofu- Love! I lvoe tofu in general, so fried tofu is that much better. Kani Salad - My husband's favorite. I love it too. Not too much mayonaise in it. Seaweed Salad - Also another favorite. Great size portion as well. There are tons of other things I have bought, but those were my favorites I listed. Just go crazy and order the sushi. You won't be dissappointed and your wallet won't be hurting either. :-) read more

Do not order any steak as they will overcook it. I basically paid $20 for rice and veggies because my steak was so overdone- it was beyond inedible. The menu was lamented and filthy-they did not clean those in between guests. There was no social distancing going on as every table was filled. There was also no deep cleaning of the seats and table as we watched a party leave, the busboy did a quick wipe down and within 2 minutes another party was seated. The server was basically touching my yum yum sauce with no gloves and his mask was not covering his nose. This is in no way up to par with other Sakura restaurants. read more
