Anna and Ryan truly made our experience the best. Even when fully occupied they went above and beyond to ensure everyone's order and needs were met. Great atmosphere and hospitality. 10/10 recommend. read more

Terrible service. They told me my order would be ready in fifteen minutes. I showed up to pick up the order about 40 minutes later, giving them plenty of time. When I arrived they told me there was no order under my name. When they finally found it, the server said it might be another few minutes and then wouldn't make eye contact with me for the rest of the wait. The additional wait was another 20-30 minutes. The manager did apologize, which I appreciate, but I'll never go there again. read more

This place is a lot nicer and cleaner then the old/other Sakura. They have a teppan menu and second best sushi in the valley. Very friendly staff and have a tv for the latest game. read more

Really wanted a side of lemons. Asked for it twice, never got it. Also said no wasabi on the roll please. I got wasabi . All I taste now is horseradish. Quality is below par for sure, but hey no big deal because this place is super far from the ocean, about 10 miles. read more

Best sushi around. Love Ben Alex and Gil always happy and welcoming. The fish is fresh and the teppan is fabulous!

I was there on a pretty busy night but the wait was still pretty long. We were seated on the side to have drinks while we waited. When we were finally seated, we were seated right by the bathroom, which i was not too thrilled about but i was hungry so whatever. The food was okay. The baked mussels were too sweet and felt like i was eating coleslaw. The yellowtail and salmon were pretty yummy. The garlic edamame was way too sweet and not enough garlic on it. Their Philadelphia rolls were tasty too. I may choose a different place to go for such next time I'm in town. read more

Ok the owners vegetable roll, no rice is a piece of art that is so delicious it's all you need to get. I go daily while visiting.

My girlfriend and I went to Sakura Ojai for dinner tonight. I tried the tuna tower and it was so delicious. They have added a lot of new amazing options to the menu. I can't wait to try the golden tiger roll. The service was great and I love all the beautiful upgrades they have made inside the restaurant. We're looking forward to going again very soon!! read more

What a gem! Reasonably priced, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere. Even though there's a lot to do in Ojai, it can be hard to find a decent place to eat with great service and good old fashioned yummy food. This place got it just right. The young man behind the counter that served us was so kind, the young woman who was our server was a delight, and the owner was so cheerful and likable. I highly recommend for those seeking out a good sushi joint in town. The locals say this is the best one! read more

Good restaurant , so happy to be here. Bbq, sashimi so good, after them the cheesecake and mocha ice cream are so good! read more

Best sushi place ever with the friendliest staff! They have the more fresh, tasty, and creative rolls. The Garlic Tuna and the Sakura roll are a must try! My girlfriend and I go at least twice a month. Definitely recommend! read more

reserved curbside parking for pickup made our experience quick and easy! pretty sure we ate everything within 5 minutes. it was so delicious. would definitely recommend!! compares to sushi places down in san diego county, really good. read more

We liked the old location and thought it would be just as good- but it wasn't. The decor was weird- too many different styles going on. The hibachi area was so loud that you can't hear the music. The food was mediocre- We won't be returning read more

A sweet little place off the main drag. Service was good, they've got a great appetizer called "Its 5 o'clock somewhere" which is a terrific value. Seems like a family joint...the sushi was very tasty, prices are reasonable, we will go back. read more

Delicious sushi and fun rolls in a nice location with friendly service. What more can you ask for? I let my sushi chef guide my choices and he didn't steal me wrong. The fish was fresh and the rolls were flavorful and beautifully done. I will definitely be going back the next time I'm in Ojai. read more

My boyfriend and I came here on a weekend day & as expected it was a little crowded. We were seated almost immediately, but the service was really bad. We literally had to ask for everything. We had to ask for chopsticks, drink refills, soy sauce, and basically everything that servers should check up on. My food came out immediately but my boyfriend's food took about half an hour to come out. By the time we got our food it wasn't that crowded and yet we still had to ask for everything. Don't think I would come back. Food was OK read more

Love the service. Love the selections. Love the sushi! Wonderful flavors and beautifully presented. Sakura is our family's favorite, hands down! read more

This place needs work. Came here from Ventura to try a different sushi place and left wishing we stayed at home. The service was really the key factor that gave the place 3 stars. A party of 6 came in AFTER we got seated and ended up getting their drinks and brought to them and food orders in before we got asked for drinks. It is a sushi restaurant, however no one expect the chefs know what sushi is. We had to explain to our waitress what the items we were ordering were because she was unfamiliar with the menu. The wrong item was brought out several times. When I ordered uni (sea urchin), I was almost brought eel. I had to tell the waitress that uni was the Japanese name for sea urchin. I feel that if you're going to work at a sushi place, you should have a basic understanding of the food. The actual food itself was tasty, but nothing out of this world. Food I would give 4 stars, service 2 stars. read more

came here for dinner during my stay in Ojai, and this place was definitely NOT a let down. it's quite spacious and the servers/sushi chefs were very friendly with my party (of 10). they made our dinner very pleasant. I ordered the Mango Tango roll and it was delicious! it's on the spicy end of the spectrum, so if you like a little kick to your sushi--order this! it's a California roll with shrimp tempura, topped with salmon, mango, and avocado, it also has a hint of Sriracha on top. my friends were also satisfied with what they ordered. and if our tummies are happy, then we're happy! :) if I'm ever in town again, I will be coming back for more!! read more

Glacial, disorganized and rude service. Came here hoping for a quick lunch. Ordered simple rolls, tempura, edamame and a lunch special, but the clock kept ticking and ticking and no food. A table that got seated after us, was served their tempura before us and a table with three girls took nearly 20 minutes while we were there to just get their salad and miso. When I got up to ask what the hold up was, I could see several plates of prepared food just sitting there while our waitress was taking her sweet time putting salads in bowls. When I returned to my table, the girls told us they had been at their table for nearly an hour. Another 5 minutes passed when another table that was sat after us got served miso before us, I got up again and told the waitress (who was still dressing salads) that if we don't have all of our food on our table in two minutes, we are leaving. At first she ignored me, so I told her I knew she could hear me and repeated my ultimatum. That got her attention. She closed in on me saying I didn't have to yell at her, to which I responded "Yes, I do!" I repeated "2 minutes, or we're out." I returned to my table. 2 minutes passed. No food. We left. read more

Amazing food at its best. Fresh , fresh , fresh, . Very great service and staff treats you like family. Food is amazing and always fresh. Thank you guys. Love it. read more

This is a pretty and clean restaurant with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. I ordered a vegetable roll and tuna nigiri sushi to go. The roll was okay. The tuna was inedible--dry, the wrong color, nicely trimmed but kind of hairy-looking, and clearly not fresh. I didn't eat it. I really wanted to like this place. Maybe I just got unlucky. read more

The service was slow but the food was as good as always and certainly as good as the one down on Ventura ave! I like the decor of this restaurant better and certainly the location I look forward to eating there more often! read more

Great sushi spot! My partner and I both tried new and different types of sushi we usually never order! Great prices too! Will be back!

We love Sakura! Came in tonight for dinner and it was fabulous! Great specials... try the spicy albacore roll. Friendly and fast service. We'll be back soon! read more

Their rolls (we ordered the spider and spicy tuna rolls) are good and the portions are large and prices are reasonable.

Love the food!!! But the service is honestly terrible. One is really bitchy and they take really long to take your orders. Would recommend for take out. read more

Best sushi by far in a 50 mile radius. Always the freshest fish. Sushi chefs are friendly, talented and fast. Not overpriced at all which is a big plus when it comes to sushi. read more

Always good spot for a quick bite . The staff is nice and the fish is fresh. Thanks guys and ill see you soon.

Back in ojai my happy place. Sakura ojai chef ben thank you always for fresh fish and nice cuts. Great sashimi specials. ^____^

Had lunch for the Second time since they have moved very unimpressed. Establishment is extremely noisy they need plants or some kind of carpet food was not good at all raw mushrooms on top of grilled shrimp on the lunch menu 1050 for something I could make for three dollarsvery uninspired will not return read more

I am so glad I found the downtown location! I was so sad when the one off Woodland Ave closed and now my joy is renewed! My favorite sushi with The Ojai roll taking the cake! Friendly, quick service with a variety of menu options and great lunch deals! read more

Fresh sushi, presented masterfully...excellent service as well. Great vibe in this little gem in Ojai. Can't wait to go back! read more

Sakura Ojai - Yummmmmmy! - Korean Near Me - Ojai, California

See all

Used to be great now just overpriced. Tastes like imitation crab. Wouldn't recommend to anyone looking for a great deal

We had the lunch special, one spicy chicken & one regular chicken teriyaki & both came with mixed tempura & California roll. We also had the gyoza & seaweed salad appetizers. The portions were fair for the price & the service was excellent. So why only two stars? In fairness, we didn't try the foo foo dishes so we can only comment on what we got. Maybe their foo foo rolls are really good but since we didn't try one we don't know. Two stars because of the blandness & mediocrity of pretty much the whole meal. The spicy chicken was soaked in some hot sauce that tasted like in came out of a bottle. The teriyaki chicken was bland & tasteless. Both chicken dishes were dry & chewy. The tempura coating was bland & tasteless. The California rolls were bland & tasteless & there were only four of them of below average size. Had the food tasted better it would have been a fair overall serving for the price. The seaweed salad & the salad that came with the lunch specials were okay. The gyoza tasted like it was store-bought frozen, not handmade. It also was bland. The edamame was served warm and kind of mushy. The ginger was limp and did not seem fresh and crunchy. Conclusion: not terrible but sub-par. Would probably give it 2.25 stars if that were possible because the service was excellent & it seemed like they were trying. If you have nothing better to compare this place to you might like it. We have had much much better. read more

surprisingly good (and fresh) sushi for a smallish local place. nice ambience. great value - they have a 5 o'clock special with large house saki. 3 pieces of sushi, four piece California roll and GREAT 3 piece dumpling for $9.95. staff is bubbly and helpful. and you are greeted as you come in the door ala Japanese farm house style! a jewel right in downtown Ojai!! read more

This place is delicious! Went down for my cousins bday dinner from Oxnard, so worth it. Our food was fresh and well served. Service was attentive. Will definitely come back. read more
