Sakura Japanese Restaurant - Chicken Tempura - Japanese Near Me - Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin

It wasn't our first visit to this clean and cozy restaurant, this was just the first time I took pics to do a review. On Saturday we received excellent service by Jesus--and he mixes a mean lemon drop martini, too! Sakura was definitely busy; we saw peeps from age 2 to 80 noshing on soups, salads, apps, udon, noodles, fried rice, hibachi dinners, along with sushi and rolls. For dinner we went with the Pink Lotus, East Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll, Spicy Crab Roll and Creamy Spider Roll. Our absolute fav was the Pink Lotus Roll (soy paper wrapped with Spicy tuna, shrimp tempura , cucumber and Avocado , topped with spicy crab, scallions and masago, served with spicy mayo and eel sauce); it was so well-balanced and delicious!! We also really enjoyed the East Roll and Shrimp Tempura Roll. The prices are reasonable too. Anyone who hasn't been should definitely give Sakura a try!!! read more

I've primarily eaten fish as my main protein for the past 12 years in Southern California, so I'm very selective when it comes to sushi. I'll admit I've been a bit spoiled. So far, Sakura is the only place near Eau Claire/Chippewa where I'll order sushi. Everything was very good. Even through DoorDash, my edamame and noodles arrived warm, and the spicy tuna roll was fresh and well prepared. Anytime I've dined in, the service has been excellent. We were seated promptly and helped right away. The ambiance is calm and welcoming, and it pairs well with the food. read more

We were visiting from the East Coast and didn't expect to find such delicious sushi in Eau Claire, WI. However, we read the reviews from other Yelpers and decided to give Sakura a try. We are so glad we did. The sushi was delicious as was the cooked food. Everything was presented very nicely as well. Service was good even though the restaurant was crowded. We would definitely return if we were again in the area. read more

Had a delicious meal and fine service on a Saturday night. Seated immediately-we were there a bit early for dinner. Restaurant is clean with pleasant ambiance. Able to enjoy drinks and tasty spring rolls appetizer. My husband had steak hibachi dinner. Generous portions, tender steak. He enjoyed the soup and salad as well. I had spicy crab rolls and shrimp tempura rolls. Both fresh and delicious. Highly recommend! read more

We made reservations for a party of 8, they welcomed us warmly. Our server was awesome. sushi rolls were very good the only thing I would say is our Miso soup came warm and not as hot as a soup should be. otherwise all the sushi was delicious. Our favorite was the Godzilla roll read more

Sakura Japanese Restaurant - variety of rolls we selected. The chef has a beautiful presentation. - Japanese Near Me - Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin

The food was excellent, but the service was very slow, in spite of there not being very many customers, and the waitress just wasn't very pleasant. If you need food in a hurry, this is not the place to go. read more

Ordered sashimi regular (12 piece fish) Received: 7 piece sushi + 6 piece cucumber roll. There's no soy sauce, shall I thank you for giving me sushi roll instead? read more

Sakura Japanese Restaurant - This is sashimi regular? - Japanese Near Me - Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin

Great food, presentation was fun and enjoyable, the outside looks like an old Pizza Hut so I was cautiously optimistic! I ended up pleasantly surprised! The fried rice and tempura was spot on! Food took about 30 mins... which wasn't horrible but we were starving so we noticed. Great Japanese food for Wisconsin read more

Such amazing sushi and rolls every time. Friendly service even when it is extremely busy!

Ordered chicken fried rice and a California Roll to go (no indoor dinning right now). I have to say the California Roll was very good and the sole reason I'm giving my meal at least 3 Stars. The fried rice on the other hand, was a real let down! For $8 the fried rice was a good size portion, but the flavor was lacking. The chicken was cut into thin, dry, very processed flat strips, and were not very easy to find in the meal. All of the veggies where literally the size of tiny flecks... honestly, I think they might have been sprinkled or shaken from a jar. Either-way..... utterly tasteless! Come for the rolls, or other entrees ... but defiantly skip the fried rice! read more

Doors were locked till 11:15 am and when I called from outside the lady who answered the phone was rude. I was the first patrons here at the temp was 60 and it's -10 below today. Wore hat coat and glove while dining. Waited 30 minutes to get soup and salad from waiter. server never check in or refilled water. One hour and still don't have food. Not tipping. Terrible service. read more

Our go-to Japanese restaurant in the Chippewa Valley. If you're in Eau Claire and crave sushi, do yourself a favor and drive a little north to Chippewa Falls. The fish is fresh and tasty, the prices reasonable, and the portions above average...better than any Japanese food I've had in Eau Claire. Be sure to try the harumaki and edamame for apps. Negative reviews may mention slow service (happens everywhere now with lack of staff) or maybe didn't care for the non-Japanese food there. If you want Chinese, Thai, Hmong, or Vietnamese food, go somewhere else. And yes, it's a converted fast food restaurant. Who cares when the sushi is this good? read more

After five years Owen has kept this japanese restaurant busy. Congrats! The food is consistent, fast service and beautifully presented. Though I no longer live in the midwest, Sakura is an important edition to the dining choices in Chippewa Falls. read more

Always make the trip over to come to Sakura, even when we lived in eau Claire. I will pass up ninja and Fiji just to come to Sakura. Family visits from out of town, we're going to Sakura always. Fantastic food and service! read more

I wanted sushi & this place did not disappoint! I had the Hawaii Roll and asked to go easy on the spice, along with a shrimp tempura roll. Delicious. My boyfriend had the teriyaki shrimp bento box and he was happy with that! The host/waitress was great and restaurant itself was clean & quiet(it was Monday) 10/10 recommend! read more

I'm a vegetarian, so finding places to eat with more than 1 or 2 options is difficult in this area. I got 3 rolls: vegetable, avocado, and veggie tempura. They were all good, but the veggie tempura roll was amazing. The wasabi was spicy and fresh. We were there on a Monday so it wasn't very busy. Our food came out fast, and the service was great. I'll definitely be back for the veggie tempura roll, and maybe I'll try the hibachi options, too. read more

This is one of my most favorite sushi places of all time. Extremely large menu with exceptional sushi creations. You really can't go wrong and the price is right too. If you are a sushi lover, I highly recommend Sakura! read more

Fabulous!! The hibachi steak was so tender! Rolls were fresh and wonderful! Great service, too!

Wasn't expecting much considering the location of Sakura. Nothing against beautiful Chippewa Falls , WI but it's not really the place you'd expect to find a solid, authentic Japanese Restaurant. The Sushi was great, as were the Pot Sticker appetizers and Tempura Veggies. My friends had Seafood Umami and also gave it high marks. My Saki was the bomb and the Fried Cheesecake and Fried Ice Cream made great closers. Service was excellent!! All and all a great experience and reasonably priced. Highly Recommended!! read more

Some of the best sushi I have ever had and I have lived all over the country and world. It's really hard to beat their Volcano Roll. Highly recommend!! read more

As a resident of Chippewa Falls, my BF and I were excited to hear about the new Japanese restaurant opening up so close to home. We love sushi and usually have to drive into Eau Claire. We are in no way sushi snobs or food critics, but we just like really good sushi and Japanese. If you do not know already, Sakura is in the old Wendy's restaurant. You can still tell on the outside that it was a Wendy's (continue to have the enter and exit signs and the drive through lines painted in the parking lot), but don't let that discourage your. The inside has been completely redone. It looks upscale (dark tables and chairs, a small bar, a sushi bar, dim lighting, etc.). Liked the tilted water glasses too. We arrived on a Saturday night at 7:30, a week after their grand opening. We were seated right away. We ordered an appetizer, Fried Spider. We received a battered and fried small crab with a sweet chili sauce. Pleasantly surprised to try something new and enjoyed the crab. We then ordered four sushi rolls and received a nice presentation on the plate. The sushi was great too! We really would like to see this place stay open and we are more than happy to visit weekly to get our sushi fix and support a new local business. read more

Delicious food :) the place surprises you on the inside with how nice it is for being a smaller spot. The shrimp tempura is amazing!!! Nice family dinner location ! read more

I love this place. The staff is attentive at all times. Sushi bar is the best seat in the house and the chefs do a fantastic job. Best part is to be interactive with the sushi chefs as the are fun, informative, inventive with offerings and very talented. I recommend the Sexy roll over the California roll if you are a first time taster. The soy paper is tasteless and is a better choice to start with. If you are looking for an excellent experience I highly recommend Sakura. read more

When it comes to Sakura, I feel as if they provide great food at decent prices and with a wide span of Hibachi style eating - the best part is if you're not one for the "show" you just get the table service (for me this is everything as I don;t really like broccoli being thrown at me!) Sushi rolls are rolled well and taste as amazing as they look! Atmosphere is great for a nice date night and it's not very loud which makes being able to chat even better! I always enjoy coming here and receive service that makes me continuously come back. read more

the place is gorgeous (on the inside). however, they don't have all the raw fish items starred (as they should~ noted on the bottom of the page.) my friend can't have raw fish and we double checked each roll she ordered which the waitress SHOULD HAVE known what each roll contains. the salmon lovers roll DOES NOT have a star by it (meaning it should be cooked). it was all raw salmon on both top and bottom and she threw up viciously as soon as we got outside. that's extremely unprofessional and dangerous. read more

I love sushi and Sakura does not disappoint. Reasonable prices, fast service and good food! Definitely my go to for sushi!!

I went here for supper on a Sat night. Nice place. Friendly staff. We sat at the sushi bar. I ordered the Bento box with chicken teriyaki. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The house salad was small, but the lettuce was very cold and crispy. Edamame, as simple as they are were yummy. I had these at another restaurant in NY and Sakura's tasted better! Would go back again read more

Had a dragon roll that was very good along with habachi. Streak wasn't good but the shrimp and scallops made up for it.

UPDATE: 12/11/2018 went here for my birthday dinner and can't believe it has taken so long to return! Everything was perfect! Our waitstaff was attentive, the food was perfect and everything was timed just right in arriving to our table. So, so delicious! The sexy roll was amazing and light. All the sushi was fresh and delicious. The pan seared udon with shrimp was amazing! read more

Food was excellent...and our server was SO great. We have been here twice and both times have been awesome. Highly recommend!

Great, fresh sushi! Large variety. Chicken and Steak Habachi were both amazing. Has become our favorite date night establishment.
