Food was excellent! Kindness and courtesy was extended through quarantine issues and take out was up to par as good as dining in.

First time eating here! Very good. Fresh! Service was very good! Delicious! Had spicy tuna roll, Sakura Roll, Tuna Pizza, and fried Ice Cream! read more

Sakura - Tuna pizza! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pelham, New York

I live in New York City, where we have a lot of very good sushi restaurants. I didn't expect much when we ordered last week from Sakura. It was so good we ordered again tonight. The sushi is the star. Excellent quality with delicious special touches such as Yuzu and fresh wasabi. Try the red snapper, fluke, and stripped bass. Also, the owner is very nice. read more

The food is okay, the waitress acted like she was on speed we sat down and gave us 5 seconds and asked if we were ready to order. When we did order she ran away right when I stopped talking... she was so quick to put an order I couldn't order more, she messed up the order and we had to order again. We ordered veggie gyoza not pork and gave us pork when they later brought the the veggie and it tasted like it was microwaved. We also ordered spicy mayo and it never came out. The sushi was okay but they gave us the apps and the entree at the same time which was annoying read more

As a Sushi connoisseur and wine sommelier, I must say this place takes sushi to the art level. Very fresh and delicious food. I actually learned something. The chef and manager were a pro tag team of hospitality, working hard to make everyone feel royal and comfortable. After ordering so much sushi and expressing a passion for it the chef even gifted a piece of sushi to me that didn't know to help improve my knowledge. Best sushi experience and its a great atmosphere. I recommend the smoked salmon sushi and Yama roll, also the eel was very fresh. Just wow ! Thanks Linda for a beautiful dining experience. read more

Love the fact that you can see everything you're getting right in front of you! Very fresh, spot doesn't have an over baring fish smell (excellent). Everyone was very nice and it didn't hurt that the ratings are terrific. Just stopped in to get takeout but feeling pretty good so far and I didn't take a bite of my spicy scallops roll and ummm ummm yum! Will come back again with my Beau. read more

Decent price for lunch. Got a lunch special and it was under $18. I'm not a roll type of person, but if you like rolls, they have countless ones. I'm more of a nigiri and sashimi person, and their prices for a single piece are really high read more

We came in about an hour before they closed and sat down. The server was really friendly. We got the thai ice tea, angel roll, sunset roll, and house special roll. It was all delicious. I especially enjoyed the angel roll. The thai ice tea was so delicious that I ordered a second glass. The portion size was very big. I highly reccommend this place. Super delicious food and friendly staff. read more

First, let me start by saying Sakura's staff are excellent! As soon as one walks in, they all greet you kindly and with respect. Greeting you by saying, "Hello my friend." To, "Welcome back, it's so nice seeing you again." Even the sushi bar people greet you from across the bar. Second, their sushi is fresh and delicious. Everything I eat there, I'm never disappointed by their sushi. Their salmon avocado fresh from the first and last bite. I've been to several sushi spots and I have yet to have a better salmon avocado. Third, I highly recommend this place. The town is nice and quiet (Pehlam). The atmosphere in the restaurant is great. read more

High quality, delicious sushi with friendly service. Also child friendly. These are all the ways I would describe Sakura sushi! We ordered two special sushi rolls "I so maki" and the naruto roll (no rice). I have to say the "I so maki" was one of the best rolls I've had in years! It had apple, masago, salmon, yellow tail and tuna wrapped in soy paper. Very refreshing! All of the sushi we ordered we were able to pay extra for wild salmon. I had no idea that was an option. My husband also ordered a peppered tuna appetizer that had mango, jalapeño and cucumber. Delicious and interesting pairing of flavors. Highly recommend. read more

This is the Worst place ever! Don't go here and waste your money. I'm a pescatarian and after informing the cashier that I Do Not Eat Meat, she still manages to give me chicken dumplings...thinking their Vegetable dumplings I eat 2 of them, but it didn't seem right. How stupid are you to Not understand What "I Don't eat Meat" means! Ughhhhh!!!!! read more

Really good sushi, fast service, friendly staff. For a simple roll, they make their California roll very tasty. Am now a regular.

Great customer service. Delicious sushi. Kudos to the chef for their great knife skills, nice presentation.

We probably eat here every other week. We love the Hibachi Vegetables and Teriyaki Chicken dishes. They both come with fried rice and either soup or salad. (Both are great.) As a non-meat eater, the Hibachi vegetable dish is a welcome treat! We also love the avocado and sweet potato rolls. The carnivores in the family love the American Dream rolls and fish tacos. As many other reviewers noted, the staff is welcoming and attentive. They even stayed open late one night for us to pick up our food. read more

They were surprisingly just a bit rude And condescending. Go figure. M I am convinced the strong broken English Is weirdly only for the sake of impression. As if it added to the authenticity of the place ‍ Hilariously, the girl that took my order spoke perfect English almost as if it slipped her memory. after a few words in Japanese almost in Sync from a few of the staff "Bam" she went strait into An accent mode All so unnecessary ... amazing lol Otherwise The food and price are what you expect. I'll give the place a second star only become The person that helped me when my order was done Was very nice. read more

Gave this restaurant a 2nd chance tonight after a lackluster dinner there soon after it first opened earlier this year, and we should have stayed away. People in our town who are worried that this restaurant (one of the very few non-pizza places in town) might close, post feverish pleas on social media to come out and support them. Too many things went wrong to go into (long wait, no drinks, no water, no food, wrong food, and on and on). We will not be going back, and good riddance if they do close. read more

Local spot with friendly and efficient service: sushi was fresh and delicious. A good place for families aka lots of kids, so not great for date night or any thoughts of a quiet romantic evening. Great take out place. My favorite foodie and I will be back next time we are in the area. read more

Though I've never sat down to eat at this restaurant I've gotten take-out for lunch a few times and each time was a little less pleasing than the first. At first I was pleased to see that they offered a lunch special, 2 rolls for $10.95, or 3 for $13.95 with a miso soup or salad. The first thing I noticed was that the pieces were a bit small compared to most rolls I've had, which kind of put a damper on the deal I felt I was getting for the price. Taste-wise, they're pretty okay, definitely fresh, but not the best I've had. The miso soup is also half the size of the standard small soup container that I'm used to. I've had similar specials at other sushi restaurants and I'd never been offered miso soup that small. It also tends to be mostly broth with a few flimsy pieces of seaweed. Also, almost every time I go to pick up my meal I end up standing awkwardly towards the back of the restaurant waiting for my meal, no matter how far ahead I called. I'm pretty patient but it's awkward standing there amongst diners waiting for my meal to be finished. Once I waited only to have to return because I realized that my miso soup was not in the bag. Despite all this, I decided to try the place a few more times since it's a new place, but each time I felt rather indifferent to my meal, if not disappointed. However, this last meal I had was pretty displeasing. I decided to skip the lunch special and try one of their specialty rolls, their Yama roll (as per their menu: "spicy tuna, salmon, yellowtail, avocado wrapped w. soybean seaweed topped w. eel, crunch tobiko"). After I ordered I was told 10 minutes, and even though I gave them quite a bit more time than that (I went to the supermarket nearby to pick up some things) I was disappointed to find that I'd once again have to wait. As I waited I noticed that the chef had a hard time putting my roll together and was quite flustered about it. Unfortunately, when I went to actually eat the roll, it showed. Every single piece fell apart and I was left with an unappealing mess. The "soybean seaweed" was loosely wrapped and couldn't at all hold the weight of everything in the roll. I would have waited an extra few minutes to have my roll done properly. I also did not taste any eel at all, which was disappointing because I really enjoy eel. I was really rooting for this place because I love sushi but I've had much better sushi and service elsewhere. read more

Sakura - Each piece of my Yama roll fell apart. It was honestly disappointing. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pelham, New York

We have been ordering takeout on a ~weekly/bi-weekly basis from Sakura and the sushi and cooked foods are excellent. Not only fresh but delicately prepared. Many of the pieces have accents, such as yuzu and definitely best enjoyed sans soy sauce. They consistently throw in an extra piece of salmon to our kids order. We are so happy to have discovered this place and hope others enjoy it as much as we do. read more

I didn't want to do this. But after three terrible customer service experiences it's only right. Don't get me wrong, the food is very very good but that's only half the experience of spending your hard earned money to eat out. To sum it up they are slow. Now kind of slow but two hours for a delivery slow (happened twice). Then you think ordering to pick up was any better but when I did I was forced to wait just as long except an hour of it on their outside ledge. Oh and I ordered SUSHI and apps. Come on people. Get it together or you'll lose business. You lost mine. read more

This is a great restaurant for Sushi, I can't speak for any of it's other options. We went here for lunch, and were seated quickly. The service was okay, a little slow (probably some growing pains). The real star of the show was the Sushi, it was fresh and delectable. This sushi rivals some of the sushi I have had in NYC, and I will surely be going back for more. All I was able to try was the sushi, none of their other offerings so I can't tell you much more about those. Overall, great sushi with an interesting decor. read more

I was so happy that a sushi restaurant was now within walking distance! Eh. Decent quality sushi, nothing ammmaaazing, but it does the trick. Their gyoza is seared perfectly, light and crispy. My go-to here. The veggie gyoza however, is a miss for me. I have had a few hot dishes, and UGH. Skip the pineapple fried rice--super mushy, no texture, way too much egg. I've also ordered edamame, and it smelled like bad eggs. Also a no. Service needs a LOT of work. The staff doesn't know what's in the dishes. What is that?! What about allergies?? The wait time is usually excessive for takeout. On average I end up waiting 15-20 minutes, even though I never arrive before the stated time frame. I guess this is the price I will pay for close-by sushi. read more

I'm not sure what other people are talking about that this is the best sushi they ever had. First of all upon going into this restaurant the bathroom smelled really bad like if there was garbage in there. I could kind understand if it were later in the day but it was only 6 pm on a Saturday and the restaurant wasn't full at all. I ordered gyoza, miso soup and sea bass sashimi. The gyoza was warm not hot. The miso soup tasted as the same as every other Japanese restaurant I don't think that will ever change. When I finally received the sashimi it was in a small porcelain container like if what you would put ketchup in. I didn't think too much about it. When I tasted it, it was sweet. I was thinking what is going on here. What kind of sushi or sashimi is sweet? I stopped eating after eating the first. I told the waitress that this is not how it should taste as all. Where was the rice and why are the pieces so small? So tried to make it better by giving me only the sashimi but it was still 3 pieces that very small. The portions were too small and no rice was given on it. I lived in Japan for numerous years and I have no idea what this was. They attempted to dress it up as some sort of culinary delicacy. It's just sushi. Keep it simple and nothing to distract from the original taste of it. read more

Firstly, I can't stress how badly Pelham was in need of a spot for sushi, and many will agree based on how crowded this place can get. One shall never assume people aren't willing to travel outside of their area for a night out; so I'll share how mine went with Sakura. On a night with temperatures in the single digits, we had the privilege to be seated right near the entrance aside three unoccupied tables that were together for what appeared to be for a party of six. As people kept opening the door, each gust of cold air annoyed us a little more until I asked if we can switch to the table further from the entrance but was told that table for "for bigger party" which was understandable until a couple came in and was seated at one of the tables further from the door. When I asked why they were able to sit there, the server pretended to not understand what I was saying; NICE! In conclusion, the food is average compared to what you can get 10 to 20 minutes away in any direction surrounding this place. read more

Went for dinner with family and friends. Ordered the Omakase for three and felt that I should have just ordered individual rolls. While the presentation was fine, the sushi pieces were small. Had to order grilled squid and beef yakitori, which I found tastier than the sushi. We also ordered the Udon and Gyoza, which were fine. read more

We enjoyed the sushi here! We are sushi snobs and so we appreciated how fresh the fish was. It was delicious! However, it seemed understaffed when we went. We chose sushi because it's typically quick to make. We only ordered from the sushi bar and waited 35 minutes for it. The staff seemed more focused on fulfilling the take out orders than getting the food to customers eating at the restaurant. read more

Great sushi and even better lunch specials, get the sushi sashimi lunch, you will not regret it! read more

Sakura - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pelham, New York

Ordered food during quarantine for the first time for pick up. I ordered garlic duck tempura chicken and sushi. Unfortunately the food wasn't fresh, the sushi was soggy and not tasty. read more

Good sushi in a very friendly environment. Place is kid friendly as well, and the menu goes beyond sushi, even though this time we stuck with maki rolls and sushi. My son may just try out the Japanese curry or dumplings next time, however. Free street parking after 6pm makes the place very accessible. But i may have to bring a driver, so i can try their extensive list of quality sake. read more

Customer service is amazing. The fried rice is delicious. I love it in general. The hibachi shrimp was always my top pick. Prices are fair. read more

Sakura - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pelham, New York

Great sushi and incredibly friendly staff. We enjoy both eating in and getting takeout from Sakura, a family favorite!

I had been looking for a restaurant that made excellent sushi for a while. I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon this place. Even though my visit was for take out I was still greeted kindly and even offered hot tea while I waited. I am by no means a sushi aficionado but my food was fresh and satisfied a craving I had for almost a year (I was pregnant). I was very happy to find this place and since it's only a mile away I will remain a permanent customer. read more

Just found this place...hidden gem. Fish is super fresh. Rolls are unique and tasty. We will definitely come back and order delivery in the future. read more

I've eaten here a few times before but recently ordered and got really bad food poisoning. My friends mother also got really bad food poisoning from here a month prior. Never coming back! read more

We ordered for delivery and even if we're not in Pelham it came hot and delicious! Staff is also very kind

Decor: Rustic Italian floor meets disco neon sushi lights meets dark cave meets ridiculous neon bubble tank. Clientele: We arrived at the Chucky Cheese hour because we were the only table without kids. It makes sense that there are so many children here because the fruit-heavy rolls seem designed with them in mind (banana on a sushi roll? Yes, if you only have two baby teeth!) Service: Every time a new customer would come in the waitresses would yell across the restaurant "How many?" and then point to a table. They refilled the water frequently, but seemed a little hopped up to me. Freshness of food: I ordered octopus sushi and it looked like it had been sitting in the Dry Dry Desert world of Super Mario for weeks. The skin was shriveled because it was so dry, and it was brown. Never, in my life, have I been served octopus with light brown spots on it. I didn't eat the octopus (figuring it, and I, have suffered enough), and when the waitress went to take our plates away she asked if we were going to eat it. I said it wasn't fresh. She then gave us the bill with the $2.50 octopus still on it. If this restaurant believes that octopus was fresh, I wouldn't trust their judgment especially when eating raw fish. Sushi roll: My partner said his sushi roll was too salty (perhaps in an effort to dry him out as well). read more

A somewhat recent addition to the low turnover Pelham dining scene, this sushi den is a welcoming presence on Fifth Avenue. The bento boxes are delightful and the sushi is a definite cut above Pelham Palace. While competition is scarce, this is the best in Pelham for now. read more

First time here. Staff is not attentive we were sitting for about 15 minutes before we got some service. Food came out wrong entree first then appetizers. We didn't like the udon chicken noodles they didn't even accommodate to take it off the bill. Very into their conversations and loud. Will never come here again. Only thing good was the sushi. read more
