We ordered delivery through Uber Eats and it was terrible. The food was terrible. We frequently go to Sakura to dine in and it's always been ok. We've even gotten delivery before and it was ok. But today the food was super cold. The hibachi shrimp was so overcooked that it was practically burnt. See picture. I know that the delivery person picked it up as soon as it was ready because I can see the pickup in the app. So it's the restaurant's fault for not maintaining the temperature. I don't understand how the kitchen can allow burnt shrimp to go out when you can can clearly see it. Also the portion of shrimp was very skimpy. Not sure what's going on with the restaurant tonight but it seems like they just don't care about the quality of the takeout or delivery food. If they don't want that source of business then they just need to get off of the delivery apps. read more

Sakura Japanese Restaurant - Hibachi shrimp - Japanese Near Me - Germantown, Tennessee

It was just too hot to cook so I stopped by Sakura to pick up a quick bite. I called in the order to pick and a very nice lady said it would be ready in 20 minutes. They have the nicest people there and I've never had any issues with my food being incorrect. The restaurant had a few diners inside enjoying their meal as I picked up my order to eat in the comfort of my home. I ordered the Sakura Roll and it was delicious! If you're looking for a different sushi place check them out. It's a cute cozy place to have a good meal. read more

My daughter took me here for lunch as a Mother's Day gift. She's my sushi dining date since she loves it just as much or more than I do so this was a new place for us to try. It's in a small shopping center in Germantown so ample parking. Walk it to an open and airy dining room that was way too cold for my preference so you may need a light sweater. We were greeted and seated quickly. They weren't busy but that could be because we went on a Friday around 1pm. They have an extensive sushi menu. It took us a while to decide. I can't remember what my daughter had but I got the Cholesteroll. It was good, great presentation. It was a bit too creamy for my taste. It needed something else besides the shrimp tempura in order to give it more texture. My daughter's roll was filled with different types of fish. She enjoyed it. We ordered the spring rolls. Some of the best I've ever had in life!! Seriously. For our meal we both had the Yaki Soba with shrimp. Mine lacked noodles. I had way too many veggies. My daughter said hers lacked shrimp so I gave her mine since i didn't have anymore noodles. The flavor was good though so I was a tad bit disappointed. Our server did tell us the cook was new. I enjoyed our time there. Our server was attentive and sweet. I would definitely go back and ask for the Yaki Soba with extra noodles!! read more

First time ordering pickup for this location. Sushi is always consistent! We love it! Everything was super fresh! Hibachi was very good! Kids chicken teriyaki was kind of a weird texture, but the rice and spring roll were good. Everything was very prettily displayed even in the to-go containers. When we ordered online it didn't give us a time, so we called to check. She was very sweet and let us know our wait time. Restaurant has always been clean when we have dined in. Low lighting. Definitely will return. I would recommend the sushi, hibachi, and salads above the other offerings. read more

Best sushi in Germantown. Maybe best sushi in Memphis. (RIP Sushi Jimmi on Poplar) Sushi is kind of like Mexican food to me: same ingredients for similar dishes. For an establishment to excel, the difference is in the variation. If we're talking Pareto principle, most sushi places easily do the 20% effort to get 80% of the results. Sakura is a place that, to me, does the other seemingly overbearing 80% effort that brings the important 20% of going from good to great. The inside seems very sanitary: for some reason when I think legit sushi joint in Aishi prefecture, I think OR grade eradication of pathogens. I don't know why I think this (other than Lexus making the LFA in a germ-free environment...for a car!), but Sakura in the 38138 makes me think this. Using quality ingredients in a clean environment with efficient service (dine-in or take out) to make an enjoyable experience (other than said tile making it, dependent upon patron density, a bit noisy). As for the sushi rolls: some have a slight more spicy range than others, others are sweeter, some have more crunch, you get the idea. The most notable thing, however, is the fullness of flavor. Each roll presents some aspect of sweet, savory, salty, some slight spice, umami, crunchy, smooth, meaty, etc. It's the full range of a 5-course Asian meal in one. Easy, convenient, strong take out game, good range of cooked versus raw options, excellent service. Highly recommended. read more

We are currently visiting from California and desperately searched for sushi in the area we stayed in. This was a 40 min drive for us and I'm glad we went. Parking was decent for the shopping plaza, and customer service was great through and through. We were seated right away and given menus and our drinks. The sushi was well prepared and presented. Taste was fantastic for the rolls we ordered and I was very happy with our selections. We got the Phelps, Mexican, California and Ferrari roll. All were perfect and I was stoked to have some leftover for midnight snack :) I do feel like they could make the inside of the restaurant a little more updated and modern, but overall it was great and I would be back when we visit. Already recommended to all our friends we visited. Thanks again! read more

Was out doing some shopping at Sephora which is across the street and decided to dine here for sushi! They have an extensive menu with great lunch options. They open at 1130 and i was there at 1141. There were a few people there already. I was immediately greeted and seated. Placed my drink order for a coke with lemon! The coke was very strong just how i like it! I decided to go with the teriyaki salmon bento box which came with the teriyaki salmon, cucumber salad, one gyoza, one spring roll, 4piece Cali roll and white rice (i substituted for fried rice for $2) i kept the sushi menu because i was going to look over it and see if i wanted to order some sushi to go. The pictures of the Germantown roll on Yelp looked very good! While waiting i got the clear soup and ginger salad. Both were very delicious! My meal took about 10 mins and the presentation was nice! My salmon was hot and fresh, as was the friend rice! The cucumber salad was a fresh pallet cleanser and the spring roll and the gyoza also added a nice touch! The only issue i had was the Cali roll! I feel like it was not fresh at all. The avocado was brown inside and the rice texture gave it had been sitting for maybe a day or so. I didn't feel they made the roll fresh and since the Cali rolls comes with the bento box, i felt that it something they already have made up to place with them. In addition to that, the pieces were very big! I despise big sushi (just my preference). I took one bite of the sushi and decided not to eat anymore of it. Other than my issue with the sushi, the bento box was very good! I would def come again to try other sushi. read more

Sakura never disappoints me with their sushi. It's always so fresh and delicious!! My favorite is the Mardi Gras roll! It has various fish on there. Tuna, eel, salmon. So so good! Staff is very attentive. I definitely recommend. You won't be disappointed!! Joyce roll is deep fried to perfection. Dragon roll is topped with eel. Salmon skin roll is so delicious with the crispy skin in the middle. There's so so many rolls to choose from. Price is pretty reasonable too! read more

12-7-25 We were there for lunch. The food was good but there wasn't nothing special about it. The staff were semi friendly but only more friendly to the white customers. We maybe back. read more

We ordered this for lunch through Doordash. We both ordered the Chicken Teriyaki appetizer. I only came with the chicken. It was supposed to come with fried rice, tempura veggies, pickled cucumber, apple slices, orange wedge and steamed rice. WE GOT CHICKEN ONLY! Very disappointing when you are expecting more than chicken. Do better Sakura. read more

Great, consistent sushi at all locations! Love that they all have the same menu as well

Met a friend for lunch today and although they were busy we were able to get our food and drinks in a timely manner. The server was attentive and customer service great! We both ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Lunch and it comes with Clear Soup and Salad (ginger dressing). The Chicken Teriyaki was very good especially when combined with the steamed white rice. It came with a few veggies (broccoli, cabbage) and fruit (oranges, apples). There was a pickled cucumbers on the side and I really enjoyed it! We both ordered sushi... my friend added a California Roll to her lunch but I ordered off the speciality rolls section. They do have A LOT of options to choose from and it can be overwhelming but the waitress was able to assist. I ended up ordering the Joe's Roll (soft shell crab, crab sticks, crawfish, snow crab mix, avocado). It came with this amazing creamy sauce with a drizzle of hot oil. It was delicious and a large portion! I would definitely come back here to try out more of their sushi rolls and tempura. Glad to have found a new sushi spot! read more

The mother Roll and the California roll are only good thing that I had. The squid was dry and tasted like beef jerky and the shrimp tempura was mostly batter and barely any shrimp and then the server had a bad attitude. I wanted to dispute the squid and pay for the rest and she dismissed me. read more

Sakura is one of the best casual sushi restaurants Ive been to and by far the best in Memphis. I've been coming to Sakura for years, and the food is always very consistent and fresh. The staff and service here is always great. Always attentive and happy to help however they can. The two main rolls that I consistently get are the Alfredo roll and the Garland roll. The one modification that I do for the garland roll is get the peanut dressing on the side. It's phenomenal. If you are in the Memphis area, you'll definitely want to stop by Sakura. read more

Told the server I was gluten free and was still served battered tofu. Even if you're not gluten free, I would hope someone at the restaurant would be aware of any major allergens in the food. It seemed like no one understood what I was talking about and the manager/host literally saw me cry after I was served something I knew had gluten in it (tempura tofu) and literally ignored me lol. Unknowledgeable and rude staff, mediocre sushi. Better places to go to. read more

I always forget about this place but it's one I want to return to! I love their menu and how well you can find what you want based on the symbols next to every sushi option. I came here years ago with a group of friends, one of whom used to work here. She recommended the Gozilla for flavor, Alfredo for spice, Mexico for less spice, Mango for fruity, and Sexy Lady for a lot of fish. The Godzilla was awesome until I hit the horseradish sauce, so I will ask for it without that next time. The Phelps was just amazing all around. I loved it so much I pretty much devoured that thing. They also have some bento boxes so I may end up getting one of those or at least a side of fried rice next time.

I can't get enough of this sushi place. I come here almost everyday so I guess you can call me a regular here lol. All of their rolls are good so I like to get different ones on the menu to change it up. Tonight family and I had the Jungle roll, Naruto roll, Scallop with mayo nigiri (this is my all time favorite here), Hana Maki roll, California roll, Spicy Tuna roll, Spicy Crunchy Tuna roll, and Salmon Skin roll. As you can tell, they are all delicious so we had to get everything. read more

The restaurant was packed when I walked in sometime after 7 on a Friday night. There were no tables available. It wasn't long before I was seated, but I was alone and there were a few available seats at the sushi bar. It was loud but not anything loud. To me the restaurant seemed cold but the warm tea was delicious and warmed me up a bit. I wasn't playing attention to the time. I was not impatient. I can't tell you if it really took a while or not. Most of the restaurant cleared out before I left. I have had the volcano at another location and thought it to be great. It does advertise mayo as an ingredient but the one tonight seemed to have too much and it may have been missing some spices. (I have it to my sister the next day and she enjoyed it.) The tamago was delicious. I got the mermaid salad which is amazing. It has a few different fish with avocado and is enough to fill you up. The waitress brought me some spice and said she enjoys it on the mermaid salad and I should definitely try it. It was delicious. I'm so glad for the recommendation. read more

They have your traditional rolls you can mark on a piece of paper but their specialty rolls is what stick out to me. I thought they were very creative and I loved how big the folks were. My sister in law and I split 4 rolls but we were forcing ourselves to finish so 3 rolls is enough. They were about $13-15/ roll but if you split 3 rolls with another adult, it's very reasonably priced. The kids menu was not thrown together as an after thought like I feel like some places do. There was even an orange cut into the shape of a rabbit. We ordered the kids chicken, the incredible, the caterpillar, the phoenix, and the volcano. I loved the phoenix and incredible the most but all were tasty. read more

Food was served quickly, sushi took a bit longer but that's because it is fried and the pictures I took didn't do them justice but these are HUGE rolls. Definitely the price matches how much food you receive. Ambiance was kind of interesting because of the interesting music choices.

We love Sakura! This is our go-to casual sushi restaurant in the Memphis area. They never disappoint. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. We have tried a number of items off their menu, but the three items that we always come back to are the Mardi Gras Roll, Mexico Roll and Sexy Lady. Service is always prompt, courteous and non-rushed. We always enjoy out time at Sakura and highly recommend them. read more

I like the food here very much and the service is pretty good. I used to enjoy going there, but since they have opened after fire, the ambiance is terrible. The booths no longer have high backs, so I feel like I am sitting in a burger joint. The noise level is loud, like a burger joint, since there aren't enough soft surfaces to help keep the noise level down. Supplies should be kept out of sight and not beside a section of booths where you are looking at them. I wish I could post a picture. read more

Food was excellent. Survive was very nice and helpful. This is probably our new Friday night spot.

They do have GREAT sushi, but they REEEEALLY need to update their decor. The place is very dim lit, the carpeting is old and worn, and the tables are normally sticky. The place may be clean, but it just has that 'unclean' feeling to it. Also it does get very busy in here, so the service can be hit or miss. There is another Sakura location on Poplar that I usually end up going to, it's a little further drive for me but it just seems brighter and the service is usually better. read more

Very good sushi! Great service. The ambiance is more of a casual lunch or dinner vibe. The restaurant is clean and neat.

Sushi rolls top shelf and outstanding. Fried tofu was soggy and spring rolls had almost zero filling. The sushi rolls were top shelf and all had options for you to modify them which was great. BUT they are not inexpensive most are 15 dollars. For these prices they need to profile better quality condiments on take out orders. The cheapest soy sauce possible. It can't cut into profits too much to upgrade read more

Dreary Saturday afternoon needing some comfort food. Tired of processed fast food? Then Sakura is the place. I've come here several times with co-workers for a quick lunch over the past 10 years. They've done major renovations and now the place is bright and roomy. The food is amazing!! I tried the New Orleans roll. It contains everything I love: avocado, sashimi fish, crab mix, seaweed paper and rice. I thought I was getting 6 pieces, it was 12!! So good, I ate 6 or 7 and have some leftovers. I had hot green tea the way I like, no tea bag, I love it made with powder. I'm ordered the shrimp tempura an an entree but after the roll, house salad and clear soup, I'm totally stuffed!! When out comes this tower of tempura shrimp and veggies!! Asian comfort food at its best! Hot, perfectly fried. Despite my stomach saying, "Stop!" I can't...I'd pay $50 for this meal, it was $36. Perfect start to 2023! read more

This is our Family's favorite sushi place in the area. We dine here probably more than we should. Ambiance is more like a Mexican restaurant with Japanese decor. You come here for the food! Rolls are always big, and they don't mind requests. I have been on a no starch diet lately and they make rolls with no rice if you ask. Nigiri is fresh, and we always get a double order of edamame to start. Prices are inexpensive for Japanese food. It goes without saying, we will be back. read more
