Great food all around. We had the Japanese noodles and the chicken fried rice, and both were seasoned to perfection. Our waitress was very helpful and accommodating. The interior is spacious enough to comfortably host larger parties, and the overall atmosphere is casual and welcoming. read more

Haven't been here in years basically I wasn't impressed then and not overly impressed now with the physical space. The place still needs a major refresh. Now the food was good and the portions were excessive. That combined with the strong service gets them 4 stars. read more

Very nice people and clean but unfortunately not great food. Have been multiple times since we lived close by. Sushi is really poor quality (salmon was okay) and soups were bland. Overall subpar food quality. Wouldn't go back. read more

This place is such a great little hole in the wall. Located in a small shopping plaza next to a beauty & liquor store. Definitely gives you mom & pop shop vibes which I love. I've probably eaten my way through half of their menu and I've ordered a good chunk of the sushi too. Their seafood soup is delicious with shrimp, krab not to be confused with real crab, scallops and mussels. I don't want to be misleading so know this soup isn't overflowing with seafood but just a few of each to get you ready for your meal. Still a great starter! On to the sushi. Always super fresh and perfectly made. Whether you're into sashimi or the fried rolls you can't go wrong here. They truly have something for all sushi lovers. A favorite of mine is the spicy volcano roll. Absolutely delicious. The sashimi combo is AMAZING! especially the yellowtail. I've ordered several different entrees over my many visits. Yakisoba is always a top pick for me. The noodles are perfectly cooked with an abundance of shrimp. The bowls (tamago don) comes with rice and their rice is so buttery and soft. I've been to other asian restaurants where the rice is gummy and overcooked but not here. I recently tried the bourbon chicken and it was a good balance of sweet and savory flavors. I've been a regular here. Between the delicious food and the great customer service it's become one of my favorite spots. The young lady that works there is so kind and helpful. She is so knowledgeable and always suggests new sushi for me to try. I've yet to be disappointed in anything I've eaten here. read more

I always like finding a new favorite place! And this is our new favorite go to for sushi! Don't let the outside fool you. My daughter and I decided to check it out while shopping near by. The food was excellent. Service was fast. There is a large parking lot in front of the restaurant so parking isn't a problem. The price was very reasonable especially the lunch menu. We had the salad with ginger dressing and miso soup as appetizers. They were both very yummy. They have lots of combo's and one will certainly include what you are wanting. We also ordered a vegetable tempura which was very good. They give you two of each veggie so it's perfect to share. They have lots of veggie roll options. They have lots of drink options including a few different Japanese beers. We can't wait to go again! read more

We were loyals to Sushi Time Towa on Montgomery Cross Roads. Not anymore . Cozy , excellent service and the sushi chef offered tasty sushi apps and his own twists to a simple lunch date for my husband and I. 10/10 recommend. Great price and quality! read more

I worked for this place for less than a week... $4hr (even though it said $10-$12 an he on indeed ) Jessica the manager has a nasty attitude and is very dismissive and impatient & likes to talk about you in Japanese . I don't recommend and the food is mid . read more

Sakura is doing dine-in so we stopped for sushi. Our regular place only had takeout. We started with fried dumplings and they were delicious. I had a Sakura roll with tuna and avocado, RJ had the Satsuki roll with crab and cucumber. Both were tasty and fresh. We also shared some seafood tempura. Service was fast and friendly. We were in and out in about 30 minutes, prices were reasonable. This was a good find. read more

If you are fine with plastic cups, then you can try this place, but I'm not recommending it. I ordered sashimi and got four types of fish cut in slices that were too thick. Neither was great. Two seemed like not super fresh, one was too cold and the other still a bit frozen. They only have the cheapest type of sake. Servers are kind. Easy parking. read more

One of my favorite sushi spots in town. The Gyoza's are some of the best I've had. I come here once a week. Prices are reasonable, not expensive. I usually get the tempura, switch it up. My friends and I get some of everything and share. read more

We did an online order and were prompted by the site that we would be informed when it was ready. I live three minutes away an hour and 20 minutes later. There was no prom so I drove up there. She tells me no one notified us because they didn't have a way to which I find odd since they said they would notify us because we ordered from them, so the food been sitting out for over an hour and she wanted me to take it that's $50 with food which is way too much money in the first place but and I told her no I wanted fresh food because it's been sitting out for an hour I'm not eating it. I paid for fresh food. I wanted fresh food so then she set it on the tray and starts talking in their little other language, probably cussing me, but I don't care. I take shrimp fried rice to redo completely fresh. Supposedly he dumped it from the box in the fryer that they use pan whatever slap it back in the box and she tries to sell it to me and I told her no I watched him dump it from the box onto the fry pan and then back in the box that's not fresh and she's arguing with me that it's fresh. The other one was thrown out Now, I stood there and watched him take it from the container it was in. She tried to sell me put it in there. Stir it up and put it back in the box. My review for this restaurant is don't go the food not wonderful. the service is horrible and they may not be selling you fresh food so somebody else that comes behind me that might order shrimp. Fried rice is probably gonna get the shrimp fried rice that I refuse to take that was sitting on the counter when I left, beware read more

My wife and I went to try them out. From the entrance, you didn't think much of the restaurant. The furniture needs updating for comfort, but the food and service was great. When in the area again, we would go back. read more

Quick, delicious, professional and kind these are the words that come to mind when thinking about this amazing restaurant. I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience, even when I've called 15 minutes before closing time . The food and their sushi are outstanding and their customer service is top notch. If you're in the moon for amazing sushi and you want to be treated well then I would highly recommend stopping by. Please just be aware that they are closed on Monday's which I tend to forget sometimes then I'm upset because I can't get my sushi fix. read more

Good food - friendly staff. But it need 85 characters to post so I'm adding more text.

Well...I didn't get to TASTE anything, because right at the front door, I was met with a posture of unwelcomeness. I stated that I was looking for a friend I was meeting, and the hostess responded "I can't hear you", so I spoke up, and she still said "I can't hear you!" A very large young man came over, expressionless, and by his demeanor, must have decided it was a "situation". I disregarded this, and turned to ask the young lady whether there were any other locations, to which she replied curtly "no".(there are THREE, just so you know...including the restaurant location on Eisenhower I was SUPPOSED to meet my friend). I told her that it was very interesting that she heard me really well that time, and I left. Ambiance was ruined at the moment of the unnecessary exchange with the rude hostess. Be careful where you decide to spend your hard-earned money. I can confidently say that this one is on my radar. read more

Stopped by on my way home. Fast service and food preparation was a plus. I ordered two rolls. The vegetable roll and shrimp tempura roll. Miso soup was really good. read more

POOR experience. Rude staff. I got food brought to me and the restaurant got my order wrong. They said to bring it back the next day and I could get another one half price but not get a refund for the one they got wrong. In other words, bring the wrong one back and no refund. I could buy another half price. So one meal for the price and a half. I had Jessica confirm what she said several times. Definitely never going back there. read more

Great food and prices! Chicken teriyaki, soup, and gyoza were all really good. We will be back

If you're looking for a good Japanese restaurant look no further. Friendly service. Delicious food. Fresh sushi. The best in Savannah, hands down. read more

We were in Savannah for a short vacation and had passed by this restaurant several times as it was near our hotel. After reading the reviews, we decided to eat here on our last night in town. We weren't sure if this was an authentic Japanese restaurant. The food was ok. It was not authentic Japanese. The tempura shrimp were small and ok. My son said the fried dumplings were delicious as was his sesame chicken. The teriyaki chicken was bland and dry. The staff was very attentive and our food was served quickly and hot. They did a good job cleaning and trying to keep groups socially distant. read more

Love this place. I go regularly. Extremely nice people, good prices and solid sushi. You can order online to pick it up, and they're quick

I'm afraid of raw fish so I had the Maki Sushi. I think the Spider and Volcano Rolls are amazing. I drove over 30 minutes to get here and was not disappointed whatsoever. If I move closer I'd definitely come more often. Customer service was great too, I had lots of questions and they answered as best they could. read more

I am in love with this place! The people who work there are always so friendly. The food is so delicious and the portions are large. My favorite is the chicken yakisoba and the rainbow sushi roll. My husband enjoys the house fried rice and the teriyaki chicken. I wish I could share pictures but I get so excited about the tasty food that a pic is an afterthought, sorry! Please try this local gem, you will not be disappointed read more

Sakura is a tiny tucked-away restaurant in a small plaza off Waters. And man is it perfect for that "mom and pop" sort of feel. The decor isn't anything special, it isn't expansive, and it isn't impressive from the outside. However, that doesn't detract from the food or service in the slightest. I just came back and my total in and out time was exactly 30 minutes from when I sat down until I left. The menu had a wide assortment of sushi and other rice and noodle based dishes. I ordered a chicken bowl and salmon and avocado roll. The roll was nothing special, if a little small, but the price was low enough. The chicken bowl was ALMOST great, and was sweet and delicious and filling. It was just missing that last bit to really push it to the top. The service was quick and despite it being pretty busy, I had my waitress check up on me often and quickly. Overall, what a nice place at competitive prices for a Japanese restaurant. read more

I said what I said. I understand as a business owner wanting your workers tipped for their hard work. But if the service was not good, then inform your staff to improve. It is not the patrons responsibility to tip only to pay for their meal tipping is optional, hence why you can leave the restaurant without one. You still handled the situation poorly and I have informed others of the prejudice nature of your establishment. I tip at great establishments around the Savannah area all the time. I'm sorry this restaurant fell short. I hope you learn and become more understanding of how the system works and invite unsatisfied patrons back instead of shunning them. P.S don't refer to your patrons as "them" it's offensive and racist. read more

This is my favorite sushi spot. I've been going to Sakura for years. The sushi is delicious and always fresh. I always get a maki combo or the party combo for 4 (pictured). It's 10 rolls of the chefs choice for $38. Great deal and some of the best shrimp sauce in town. I call it in and it's ready for pickup in 10-15 mins. read more

Sakura Japanese Restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Always delicious! Very consistent and super affordable. It's definitely our go to for Japanese on the island

Sakura Japanese Restaurant was lovey! We had a very attentive and nice waitress. We ordered the Crab Rangoon, shrimp Shumai, sides of fried rice, shrimp udon and spicy tuna rolls. It was all very good. Biting into the Shumai unlocked an explosion of flavor. The spicy tuna rolls were some of the spiciest I've ever had, I loved them. All of the food is extremely inexpensive. We left with our bellies full and hearts happy. read more

I simply have to say: Gosh, I really like this place! First of all, Sakura is not a fancy sushi bar that focuses more on the décor than on the menu, and it does not have any ambitions to be Savannah's answer to Nobu. Sakura is a small, clean, 8-table Japanese restaurant tucked away in an unassuming strip mall on the south side of Savannah that also hosts a low-rent beauty/nail parlor, a dry cleaner, and a Save-a-Lot grocery store. However, don't let the location fool you -quality of service and food go a long way in my book, making this restaurant the "go to" recommendation for inexpensive sushi in this town. This is a "real" Japanese restaurant, not one of those ubiquitous hibachi/teppanyaki joints that serve glorified fried rice with mayonnaise posing as "shrimp sauce." Sakura serves traditional fare such as Yaki Udon and Tamago Don that are without parallel in the Hostess City, unless you wish to fight for the very limited parking and absorb the high rent prices of places like Sushi Zen and Wasabi's in the downtown historic district. Every meal starts out with their house salad, which is iceberg lettuce coated with a watery, highly addictive sesame-citrus-ginger-soy dressing. We invariably order the tempura for an appetizer every time we go, and are never disappointed with the fresh vegetables encased in a light, crispy shell. The sushi is fresh and tasty, and they will even entertain personal requests if you don't see what you are looking for on the list of maki and hand rolls. Entrée portions are large without compromising on quality. Again, great place for really great food. I almost regret writing this review for fear that our little strip mall secret will get out, and the wait for a seat would be insufferable. read more
