Sakura - Tiger Roll and Sushi burrito - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jasper, Alabama

Food was delicious and staff is always very friendly. The place is very clean and comfortable to eat at.

4 for the food, one missing star for some of the servers... theres one waitress who always just looks absolutely miserable. I understand we all have bad days, especially working with the public. But it's an every time issue. You feel like you've offended her whole family simply by asking for an item. The sushi is always my go to. So if you're a sushi fan. I recommend. (Just hope you don't get miss grump) it's like playing waitress roulette when you walk in. read more

My husband and I went here recently for the first time when we were out of town. I'm guessing it's a favorite for many of the local community members because the restaurant got very full while we were there. We both enjoyed our main entrées and would give them a four. My husband got the Udon Noodle with triple meat and he liked it very much. I got the Teriyaki Scallops and Shrimp with white rice . They actually did a very good job with their white rice, it wasn't sticky as I've had before at other restaurants and I enjoyed the Hibachi Teriyaki flavoring that went along with my main entrée. I did like the scallops, they were fairly good, but I did not enjoy the shrimp . I believe the shrimp was overcooked, and it tasted chewy, but outside of that, I enjoyed my meal. I did like my Egg Drop Soup and ate all of that and my husband thought his Miso Soup was OK, it was a new flavor for him. I did get a nonalcoholic Pina Colada Smoothie, which I did not get a picture of, and I would give it a strong 4 1/2, maybe a five 5. It was really good and I would order it again. Our waitress was very nice and also funny, it was a nice touch for our experience there. read more

See all

Their Chinese menu is good and plentiful but nothing really sets it apart from other Chinese restaurants. The sushi is where they really shine! So many choices and it's all great. read more

I had a pickup order this evening at 6:32 pm scheduled by their online ordering system. It cost $32 before tax and tip. I checked in at the window at 6:30 and pulled to spot 1. They brought out my food at 6:47. All of the food - hibachi shrimp, spring rolls, and deep fried sushi was cold after driving home for 8 minutes. The worst? There was a sweet-pea-size rock in my hibachi food. A rock! Picture attached. Very disappointed. Previous inside service dinners have been good. read more

Sakura - My hibachi shrimp on the left, fork in the middle, and the ROCK from my food in the upper right. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jasper, Alabama

My family of 5 puked. Absolutely disgusting.. I ordered the shrimp hibachi.. mushy rice and everything was cold.. hus band ordered "fillet" that was so tough it was absolutely inedible.. I wouldn't feed this crap to my dog.. 93 dollars for food that was the nastiest junk we've ever tried to consume. Staff was rude and didn't even care the food was shitty. Husband actually had to buy a new pair of pants on the way home from the severe diarrhea. 10/10 wouldn't recommend even if you were starving and they were giving it away. read more

Good food.....excellent service. I had the Steak Bento box with Miso soup, salad and California Roll. Good atmosphere and friendly staff.

Egg drop soup had black spots throughout the egg whites, and was told it was from the ladle getting too hot in the pot. In my opinion it looks more like bacterial growth, either way i will not be coming back. read more

Sakura - Egg drop soup had black spots throughout the egg whites. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jasper, Alabama

We love eating at Sakura. Their teriyaki chicken bento is my go-to, and my husband loves the Mickey Roll. We have not had a bad meal yet!

Great food. Shrimp yaki soba was delicious. Quickly seated, order taken quickly and food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Order was correct and our table really enjoyed our meal. Why not five stars? It took us 25 minutes to get our check as our waitress never came back after the food runner brought our food. Glad the glasses were full and order was right. Will definitely be back. read more

Normally my favorite restaurant and food is always good including today but I am upset with today's service. I ordered a chicken hibachi bento box and realized that it comes with a 4 piece california roll included. I asked the waitress if I could substitute for a roll without shellfish since I am allergic. She said she would ask and come back. She never came back, instead she brought me out my bento box and a whole non shellfish roll. When I got my check, I was charged for the $12 box AND a whole roll. I feel discriminated because I have an allergy. Charging people extra just because they can't eat a certain food sounds extremely unethical to me. I'll be back, but not for a while.​ read more

Been here a few times. Food is good , service is questionable and some of the staff isn't very friendly. They should try to smile when a customer walks in not look at them like their annoyed that u just walked in read more

After placing an order we got home and we realized they had left out some food. We had a receipt and called back very nicely to let them know we were missing food. They wanted to then proceed to call back several times and act like we were just trying to receive free food and told us we were lying. We spent so much money to be harassed over not receiving food we ordered! Won't be back. Terrible customer service and food wasn't even that great. So if you order anything to go check your bag before you leave or you won't get it period. read more

Decided to give this place a shot. Mushy rice with little flavor and chewy meat. Way too expensive to not even be able to eat the food we got. We're sorry we cheated on rnr sushi read more

Do not know why we haven't tried this place in the seven years we have lived here - but I am glad we finally did! Just as good as any similar restaurant in Birmingham. Service was good. Menu options are good and it's a nice atmosphere. We will be back!!! read more

Moved here from NJ so I was SOO happy to see some good NYC sushi in jasper. Only thing I'd be more happy about is if they add chicken katsu to the menu! read more

I had one of the yummy bowls and the sushi was tasty. It was a great snack for me. I really enjoyed it.

Not a huge fan but hey that doesn't mean you won't love it. I had the hibachi chicken and it had a glaze on it that I just didn't like. Salad didn't taste fresh. Sushi was ok.. but nothing to call home about. read more

The food is descent--especially for the price, typically. However, I was charged $7 extra to put my shrimp "on the side" rather than having them on my Udon. It was tacky and completely unnecessary, and I was told that "it was the only way we could ring it up." I will not be going back. read more

The chef shows great potential; the egg roll could have been amazing and was fried to perfection. The hibachi steak and veggies were pretty good; the chicken was a little sweet. The sushi was decent, tho the imitation crab stuff was blah. The fried rice was bland; literally rice with onions and soy sauce. The salad came undressed, and the yum yum was not what most would expect, and the ginger dressing tasted oily and was a goldenrod color. I dearly want this place to rock but the food didn't back it up. The server was sweet; overworked (a party of 30 was there!) but she followed up with us and we were taken care of. read more

We have only lived here in Jasper since January and it took until last weekend for us to finally try Sakura--and it's literally right across the street! Granted, we did not dine-in, but my son got a different array of sushis to go. He was craving sushi and was tickled to death there was a Japanese restaurant so close. Y'all, I've had sushi in some of the best places in Birmingham, and I personally think Sakura's was the best I've ever had. It was so fresh and light, not heavily riced or held together with some kind of weird mayonaissey stuff that some places do. it was awesome. I had a California Roll (playing it safe, lol) and he had the spicy tuna, another CA roll and about 3 other types. NONE were bad. Very large quantites for the money, especially and he couldn't even finish. We were both happy with the quality and the quantity. I will write another review when we go to actually eat inside the place. My son said it was very nice and clean inside, so that was a bonus. I only gave four stars since we've not dined inside yet, plus I want to try the other dishes, not just the sushi. So far, though, they are off to a great start in our book. read more

Staff is always friendly and service is quick. Al of their menu items are delicious and they have some of the freshest sushi around! Their volcano shrimp is what keeps us going back! read more

They have some of the best customer service I've seen in Huntsville, the food matches the service. I love coming here with my friends and even late at night they serve us with a smile. Definitely one of my favorite Japanese places in Huntsville and hazel green. read more

UPDATE I PROBABY SHOULD HAVE REPORTED THIS TO PUBLIC HEALTH A LONG TIME AGO.. BUT I DIDN'T.. AND I THINK SAKURA IS STILL HERE...SO READ THIS REVIEW AS IT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE. I was pretty desperate for some sushi one night and too lazy to make my own (which is way better) so I got the pink lady roll. The soy paper on the outside was rancid. How do I know it was rancid? Well people, I will eat anything under the sun, and though I hadn't had soy paper in a while, I remember the last time I had it it was quite enjoyable and didn't make me feel like barfing. Well one bite of this and I knew something was wrong. I swallowed it (don't know why) and gagged and had to ask to return it. They were nice enough to do it for me so I just switched it out for a spicy tuna roll, which is also what my husband got. Food poisoning struck a few hours later and I spent a good portion of the night by the toilette. I'm sure that rancid soy paper made me sick and not the fish since my husband was fine. But all that to say...please just don't go here. read more

I had the chicken & beef tip hibachi dinner & I was pleasantly suprised. The food was fresh,hot & a big portion size, I had plenty to take home for lunch the next day. Our server was very friendly and stayed on top of things. I ordered the fried cheesecake for dessert which I recommend The bathrooms were clean, overall I had a great experience! The only thing I would change would be the house salad it's just lettuce and small slivers of carrots. read more

Absolute the best steak and chicken hibachi meal and always right on best service and always done perfect very clean and friendly I'd give it a 10 review any day we eat a lot at stick or say use to until now we eat here at least 3 days a week awesome .... read more

Sushi was awesome as always. Had special fried rice also was best we have had from anywhere so far. Very nice people working there. Will of course eat there again. read more

Seriously, sushi in Jasper, AL! Sure, I've had better in NYC and all along the West Coast... I've also had worse in NYC and all along the West Coast. Typical Americanized sushi, better than most, in Jasper. I'm just glad it's not a BBQ or Mexican... read more

Sushi is really good and fresh but the hibachi is not that good. The hibachi taste like dish detergent to me. Service is pretty good. This place could be better. read more

I absolutely agree with the last reviewer, but more so. The Chinese owners obviously have no respect or understanding of japanese food. Hopefully this pathetic attempt will fail soon. Unfortunately, in their arrogance, the owners will, no doubt, chalk it up to american ignorance, but the fact is that they have NO IDEA what japanese cuisine is all about. If the had even one japanese person acting as a chef or consultant they might have had a chance, But this is, sadly not the case. Of course the wait staff has no idea how to serve food in a timely manner. The manager decided to disagree with me when i informed her that the alleged temura was not tempura. Apparently she thinks that any fried crap is tempura. Fail! The tune roll had sat around long enough for the ends to oxidize to an unappealling purplish gray, and it was room temperature. I stopped eating it for fear of becoming sick. The place feel unclean. I heartily recommend that no one enter this cesspool. I would also recommend that the owners give up the restaurant business and, oh i don't knoe, open up a bowling alley. Pathetic and dangerous. read more

The service is absolutely horrible!! Besides the hr wait for the appetizers the food was disgusting! I will never go back! rude waiters! Don't waste your money! There were only 4customers there and they ignored all of us the entire time! read more

Overall an 8 out of 10. Good service with a very pleasant staff. Clean place with good food. First time we went there ordered a filet and a chicken dinner. The meat was great, the soup just ok, the salad dressing way better than normal but the big disappointment was the rice. Lightly fried and a drop of soy. We went back again and looking closer at the menu saw they had fried rice with egg and veggies for a $2 up charge. We ordered that and found the dish quite enjoyable. They should make that the standard, glad I went back. We see a lot of people eating sushi and have seen no complaints so that struck me as above average. read more

I'm leaving 2 stars because it wasn't overly priced. It was not very good, but it's better than eating fast food. (pending it doesn't make me sick) California rolls is what I ordered. They were not cold, but cool which to me makes a huge difference in the taste. The imitation crab that is used was VERY fishy. I'm honestly afraid I will be burping this up the remainder of the day. The inside of the restaurant was sorta odd. Imagine a Wendy's turned into a Japanese restaurant overnight. That's exactly what this is as this was a Wendy's for years. I used to eat frosty's and fries in this building. My suggestion to management. Do some remodeling so the exterior as well as the interior looks and feels like a Japanese restaurant. Keep your ingredients for your rolls on ice. They need to be cold when served. Use real crab! This will go along way in the taste of your rolls. No one wants to eat fake food. read more
