- Smaller, local spot with plenty of tables and booths for a Saturday lunch; only a few other parties dining, which made for a quiet, comfortable atmosphere - Private lot with ample, easy parking - Service was excellent--staff were consistently attentive, polite and checked in often throughout the meal to make sure we had everything we needed - Nice presentation with pretty plate designs and cloth napkins that add a slightly classy touch - Unfortunately, the food didn't quite meet expectations: portion sizes were reasonable (lunch entrées include both soup and salad), but the fish didn't taste very fresh and the sushi rice wasn't well seasoned or held together--it fell apart even when lifted gently with chopsticks; chicken teriyaki was also quite bland and could use much more flavor overall read more

THE GOOD ---------------- + Sushi and Chicken Bento Box lunch specials were decent. ++++ Sushi and Sashami Lunch Special was solid. Order came with 4 pieces of sushi, 8 pieces of sashimi and a California Roll. All of the fish tasted relatively fresh (although my better half disagreed). ++++ Sushi Roll Combination Lunch Special (3 rolls) - Ordered it with Tuna Avocado, Salmon Avocado and Eel Avocado and it was all good. Actually thought it was better than most of the local sushi restaurants in Bergen County we had been to. ++++ Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box Lunch Special was good. It came with a California Roll, 3 pieces of Shumai, white rice, soup and salad. The teriyaki was fried, which was interesting, and it was cut up into pieces. Once again, solid. + Prices of the food for the lunch specials were verrry reasonable for 2025. + Service was good as the waitresses were friendly with our family and our food came out very fast. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nada. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Restaurant looks like a house from the outside and has a parking lot to the side. The interior isn't huge though. CONCLUSION -------------------- = Can't say this spot is much different than any other local sushi restaurant, however, it's not a bad thing. read more

We love it here! Quiet, beautiful atmosphere with few tables for an intimate dinner. It is BYOB which is nice too. The fish always tastes fresh, and we also love the yellowtail carpaccio appetizer and their fried rice is out of this world! Their kitchen entrees are pretty limited if you don't like sushi. read more

Solid neighborhood sushi restaurant with good service and friendly staff. The restaurant is not super big and has a cozy feel to it. We came for lunch and the lunch specials range from $10-$15. The sushi and sashmi we had were fresh and tasty. I definitely want to come back again and try their other menu offerings. read more

We've been sushi fans for years, but never even knew this place existed. The restaurant has an upscale feel, but the prices were what we are used to paying for good sushi - not cheap, but not expensive either. The menu is extensive and full of combos and specials - so if you are strategic, you can navigate to a great meal at a great price. We started with the salmon tartar which was more finely chopped than our usual place makes it, and we really liked this. You could tell is was made from very good quality salmon. We chose two special rolls from the board and they were both uniquely delicious and satisfying. They did not rush us out as we finished our pot of chrysanthemum flower tea and relaxed. We really enjoyed this new discovery right in our backyard and will definitely return! read more

Simply fresh and delicious Sushi every time! Clean, beautiful decorated, great service. It's BYOB and the only down side is that they take no reservations and you must wait for a table. They should take reservations...our only suggestion. read more

I've been coming here on and off for about ten years now and each time really enjoy myself. The service is always prompt and friendly, and the rolls are teeming with fresh fish.

If I could leave zero stars I would. I downloaded Yelp just to write this review. Three of four meals were completely wrong. One was for a person with celiac disease. They didn't offer a replacement. The server was impatient and disrespectful. The ginger was old. There was hair in the food. I could go on. There was a place for me to change my baby's diaper, I guess that deserves the one star. read more

I stopped in for an impromptu lunch since I was in the area for work. I ordered two rolls, Spicy Salmon and the Sakura Roll. The rolls are deceptively filling, I probably should've gotten two regular rolls instead of a special and a regular, but you live and you learn. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that I felt their special rolls were a tad over priced. I've been to a number of other sushi locations in the area and I would've pegged their Sakura Roll as more $16-17 rather than $19; there was seafood in the roll but for 2 shrimp and some lobster I wasn't overly impressed. Their spicy salmon roll was very competitively priced at $6.5 and I would've expected to pay $7-8 for it. All in all DELICIOUS sushi and I will be back read more

Sakura Japanese Restaurant - Sakura Roll and Spicy Salmon Roll - Japanese Near Me - Wyckoff, New Jersey

Well the decor and the upscale of this restaurant is nice I can't see the same for the food very disappointed with lukewarm soup salad barely had anything on it and the dressing was terrible the sprite we had gotten taste like bleach no joke. It literally was still burning my mouth after i had shared it with my wife. She had told me to try it. On top of that the food started to taste the same way the chicken catch you seem very old and the sushi was known any better would not recommend coming here at all. I imagine all the good all the reviews from this restaurant were, another reason i was here, I'm extremely disappointed. Will not be returning, went to another sushi place and didnt taste like this, nice to know it wasnt me. read more

Sakura is a good Japanese food restaurant and the service there is great! They have good food most of the time but it really depends what day you order because they get new produce/fish on Sunday. In addition the delivery comes very fast so it is great for last minute dinners. I would recommend for non picky eaters. read more

Good service , good food , fresh , and good environment for dinning with large group of party to friends dinner

I am not one to write bad reviews. After all, everyone has a bad day. This was not about service or the quality of the fish. I ordered two pieces of tuna sushi, the pieces of tuna were sliced paper thin. I ordered an eel handroll with avocado. It mostly avocado, very small piece of eel. I ordered a spice yellowtail handroll, it was swimming in the sauce and there wasn't much fish at all. I also asked if they two other types of fish, which they did not have. Sushi is expensive enough. You must give your customers' their money's worth!!! read more

Sakura Japanese Restaurant - a variety of food items on a table - Japanese Near Me - Wyckoff, New Jersey

Let me preface this review that we've been long time patrons of this restaurant. While the quality of the food has suffered the past few years, it's local and the food was still ok. We ordered takeout tonight for two: a few rolls and a yaki udon. Pretty simple. Website says one hour. Ok. No problem. I get to the restaurant one hour on the nose and the young host says "do you mind if we call you when it's ready" I look around wondering if she's talking to me. Yes I mind. Just tell me when it will be ready and I'll determine if I'm waiting or canceling. I was then told another 15-20 minutes and I asked to cancel. The owner knows who we are as long time patrons. She and the young host handled this terribly. There was another patron attempting to pick up food who was also upset. Frankly, the food is not good enough to deal with this nonsense so we will not be frequenting this restaurant any longer. read more

I've never been disappointed. We always go for sushi and it's always fresh. I've been to other places but the sushi is always lacking. read more

Go-to local sushi bar with great lunch deals. Normally, get the sushi and sashimi lunch special, it goes for about $20. You get miso soup, salad, and a great plate of sushi and sashimi. The miso is fresh and served very hot. The salad is your typical iceberg lettuce with ginger sauce (definite room for improvement here). The sushi and sashimi are very fresh and you can tell they use high quality meats. Ask for the hot green tea with you meal. The tea goes really well with your combo. Plenty of seating but may get crowded and doesn't have a large parking lot. read more

Very fresh and delicious sushi (angel roll) and avocado salad! I recommend this place!!! It's my next favorite local sushi place next to HHK sushi cafe and I will be back to repeat my exact order! I'm not sure why I didn't try this place sooner or a local didn't force me to check it out because the food was great and healthy!!!! I'm adding this to the list of local restaurants I love: Cafe panache, Chefs table and Locale....this is one of the few local restaurants I would gladly return to with the expectation of great food in this area. Great for any small gathering, girls/guys night out, family dinners and small groups would work. The decor is clean and modern. The cons: The parking situation is a bit challenging and the service felt rushed when we arrived. I think because it was an early Friday night around 645pm when we arrived and they were trying to push us out to turn over the table but we weren't planning on rushing as it was a dinner for a few girls getting out and away from the kids for good food and conversation. They also kept trying to clear out plates while we were still eating which was annoying. The place is small and we got the last table so others had to wait for a while since they don't take reservations. However, once we tried to get the check at 830pm we asked for it and I think the server forgot because it took 20 minutes and several reminders....to get the check and another 10/15 minutes for them to process the charges. Overall, I can deal with service errors if the product is quality and that is the case here with the fish. It's also artistically presented...see pics attached read more

showed up for my reservation, the waitress told me to come back in 15, I left and came back, the hostess goes we never wrote down your reservation. I go okay well I called and that's not my fault. They promised me the next table. The woman behind me chimes in saying "you also promised me the next table" so I asked the hostess what they were going to do and the other woman got it. read more

I have to say that I was quite disappointed in the food... The place had a nice ambiance, good servers, great location, but the sushi...not so much. The sushi was very pretty and looked great but the taste left a lot to be desired... The fish had no flavor and was very bland...we had ordered 6 different mega rolls, and did not satisfy the sushi craving I was looking for. The flavor factor was just not there...I will not be back. read more

Absolutely love coming here for sushi. Hubby brought me here for Valentines Day and though I don't celebrate this gosh awful occasion, if I am bribed with Sakura I might do a skippy, jumpy thing, just sayin'. First the wait staff is so polite and greet us happily, they seat us promptly, go over the specials and bring us our beverages while we make our choices. The fish is so fresh and the presentation is 100% creative and beautiful I am always pleased with what we wind up ordering. I am also super happy that sushi when ordered here is, 2 pieces of sushi per order. So many places are 1 piece of sushi per order which I find annoying. I am partial to the sushi/ sashimi for two, the selection is generous and its nice to just take our leisurely time to enjoy the meal and the whole dining experience. The sushi chefs cut the fish perfectly, not too big just perfect bite size pieces with what I consider an acceptable rice to fish bite, the wasabi is fresh and I always ask for extra ginger. Usually we will order Hamachi Kama to share if they have it- it is sooo good. Salad does accompany our meal and the dressing is no joke, I could drink the stuff. Hot tea and bottled water (bubbly) for me always compliments the meal, hubby enjoys soda. I think the price of the meals we have ordered definitely match the quality of the food. If you are in the area and in the mood to enjoy a well presented sushi dinner that is fresh and tastes delicious, just an overall great meal, stop by Sakura and treat yourself. read more

Amazing sushi and Japanese dishes! Really nice atmosphere for dine in and always a great spot for quality takeout.

Very fresh and tasty. Delivery was also in a timely manner. Will be defiantly ordering again!

Never saw tuna that was a salmon light color ! I come from queens and they would never get away from serving what they call tuna. If it was tuna it must be the cheapest grade they pass on telling white Americans it's tuna ! REALLY!!!! They must be laughing all the way to the bank!!!! read more

Stopped in for lunch with some clients. Ordered the tuna Carpaccio, seaweed salad, miso soup and volcano roll. The soup was excellent and had a creamy texture. The type of Miso paste they used did not taste like one I have had before. Seaweed salad was your standard, pre-made affair that everyone has. The Carpaccio was excellent with jalapeno slices on top with a yuzu dressing. The volcano roll was huge and quite good. The spicy sauce was slightly different than elsewhere and it was topped with a Japanese powder which added another layer of taste. Service was good and the restaurant was clean and well lit. Only drawback was their parking lot is tiny. Recommended if you are in the area. read more

By far, taking pricing into account, the best sushi restaurant in the area. Service may not be perfect, but the sushi is excellent. My favorite appetizers are Tsao's Chicken and Miso Eggplant. The dumplings are quite good too. The roll specials, listed on a glass panel next to the sushi bar, are always good. My favorites include Island Roll, Hawaiian Roll, and Triple Three. If you can't make the drive and you just want to enjoy at home, delivery is also very good. read more

Sakura has absolutely delicious fish. For our anniversary my husband and I went and had the Sashimi for two special thing and it was delicious. Everything was super fresh and light, and they cut the fish thinly, like I asked for. The service was good, they were very attentive. The atmosphere is nice and if you get there at a reasonable hour can be very quiet and romantic. We really enjoyed ourselves. read more
