Instead of backyard BBQ, we gathered a group of friends for the Fourth of July celebration at the Sakura's Restaurant. It turned out to be an excellent decision. We ordered about 10 dishes, all were very good for a Richland eatery. The Seafood and Tofu Soup was very tasty. The Fish Fillet in Garlic Sauce tasted almost like a Michelin Star dish. The Spicy and Salty Squid was crispy, not chewy. The Kung Po Scallops will be my repeat for the next visit. Even the steamed rice was out of this world. I could just eat the rice as a meal. The two lady attendants were very nice and helpful (sorry forgot to ask names while busy eating). Overall the food was fresh and the environment was inviting (picture attached). We had a perfect restaurant experience. Say no more, Sakura deserves a five-star rating. read more

Awful food - watery egg foo young, flavorless orange chicken and overall a huge disappointment. Thank gosh Grubhub refunded my money because I would not have paid for this in the restaurant. read more

I ordered through Uber eats and I noted on every item that I wanted extra soy sauce not the regular sauce provided. I even requested extra soy sauce on the utensils request. I ordered two entrees and a couple sides. When I got my order I had 11 duck sauces on only 4 soy sauce. I called the restaurant and was told there was nothing that they would do for me and I had to call Uber eats. Uber eats told me it was the restaurant that had to fix it. The restaurant when I called back said the person who filled the order has been there a long time and doesn't get things wrong and it was basically my problem. I will never order from Sakura again. The managers comments were rude. I never complain but at this point I've had enough!!!@! read more

The food is great! With quick service and fair prices. So far I've only ordered out but I've ordered a few different dishes and have not been disappointed. Highly recommend the fried dumplings! read more

Portions are the best part but quality of food is hit and miss. Service is just okay. Price point for lunch is way more affordable than dinner. read more

I love this place. The atmosphere, location, service and menu items are incredible. They have the best Hot and Sour Soup around. The Luncheon Prices are great and they give you plenty to eat. I just placed it on the top of my list of Must-go Place to Eat. read more

Medium dinning space, tables and booths. Large menu, lots of options. Big portions. They have sushi and other food, we get fried rice, pad, Thai orange chicken, reg sushi & I have veggie sushi. Service not so friendly, they sit you down, bring your food, bring your check and that's about the only interaction.. not much for checking in or refilling beverages. They also changed the way they make there peanut sauce for the spring rolls which I was disappointed in. read more

Ordered 2 singapore mei fun's. Zero seasoning. Seems the seasoning is different each time we order, recommend a recipe card.

I used to be a regular but disgruntled customer because of their repetitive slights. I'm over it and not gonna deal with supporting an overall terrible small business. They regularly would leave out utensils. I'd go to the extent to make it a priority with comment or note but they'd still leave it out. That's just cheap!!! The food is substandard. The crab Rangoon was cold and the ratio of their imitation crab to cream cheese was off and on top of that, they'd hardly out any filling into it as well. Soooo cheap. The eggless drop soup was laughable. There's no egg. Maybe one in their entire pot because there's nothing in what they offer as a small. Embarrassing really with how cheap they are. The teriyaki sauce is soooo runny. Completely watered down. They'll mess up your order regularly and on this occasion they shorted me rice on the chicken teriyaki order. I called and gave them my two cents without resolve. Just gonna leave a blanket of reviews for this characters here. Take notice. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! Sakura sucks!!! read more

I continue to periodically try Sakura to give it a chance as long ago it had good food. This is my last attempt. Worst sushi I've ever tasted, we threw away both rolls we ordered, and the pad Thai, while generous in portion, was tasteless and the chicken was so dry it was inedible. There are so many great sushi, Thai and Chinese restaurants in the Tri-Cities area, don't waste your time or money here. read more

The food is good , but I went to this restaurant expecting to have a nice time and enjoy the food, but unfortunately my experience was very disappointing because of the service. The waitress who attended me was extremely rude from the start. When she took my order, I asked her a few questions about the food to decide better, but she answered in a very harsh, unfriendly tone, as if she was annoyed that I even asked. She spoke to me in a very abrupt way in English, which made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Service like this completely ruins the experience, no matter how good the food might be. read more

Great food'. Fair prices and excellent service. This is the best lunch menu in all of the Tri-cities. .

We are in the area visiting family and I came across this restaurant on Uber eats. food looked great, huge selection, and great prices. as far as the food goes, it was DELICIOUS!!!! We were very pleased. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because they forgot our soups, but that won't stop us from going back!! I highly recommend read more

the service was amazing i love the look of the place and most of all i loved the food the wonton soup was phenomenal the salmon was nice and tender i had the nigiri and rolls of it the avocado rolls are yummy we even had fried dumplings and i have never NEVER had better dumplings they were sooooooo good i high recommend this place ive been to nyc and vegas and dc ive tried sushi and this is definitely top 5 id say even 2nd best place read more

It was a huge amount of food but the flavors were heavy and too heavily salted. The sushi was not good. Chow mein tasted reheated not fresh and i found a small wire in it!! The white rice was good. read more

Fast service and tasty food. Very kind waitstaff. I definitely recommend. My favorite dish is the Kung Pao Chicken.

The food was excellent. Everything has so much flavor and was a reasonable price. I placed my order on doordash, but shortly after placing it, I called and asked if I could change my food from fried rice to lo mein. Weird request, I know, but it was my time of the month and a girl's got cravings, soo.... Anyway, the hostess must not have known that I could hear her talking to her coworkers when she "put me on hold". She rather loudly said she didn't want to do that because she didn't want me to complain to doordash and try to get a free meal. She then told me she couldn't switch it because my driver was already on the way to pick it up. I was like, um, no. I set it for pickup. I am my own driver. Eventually she caved and switched, but man. If that's how you talk about customers when you think they can't hear you...just wow. read more

Terrible customer service and food was not great server drop my food and just apologized and didn't even say she would bring something new the whole time we were there we were rushed because they closed in 30 mins terrible experience for sure . Won't go back again ! read more

Checked Facebook for hours of operation (11 am - 9 pm) then decided to have a late lunch to take advantage of the lunch menu (available, according to Facebook, from 11 am to 3 pm). When we arrived there were paper signs with operating hours posted on the door (11 am to 3 pm, and then 4 pm to 9 pm). We arrived at 2:40 pm expecting to be able to have our late lunch. When we walked in to the restaurant, an older Oriental woman came toward us and told us "We're closed. You can come back at 4 pm." We looked at our watches to confirm the current time, and also noticed a few tables occupied by diners. Not a way to attract new customers! We certainly will NOT return. If you want my business, treat me like a real customer and don't change your operating hours to meet your desires. read more

The food here is amazing and authentic. Food is prepared in a timely manner and the servers are always making sure everything is okay. The mood in the restaurant is very comfortable. Highly recommend for dine in or take out! read more

Extremely greasy, I'll for several days afterwards. Will never return. Service was minimal but waitress looked unhappy with 15%.

I am unsure if Sakura is under new management since it has been a few months since I have last been there, but I was definitely disappointed. We ordered our food in which our pork fried rice was over cooked, the broccoli and mushrooms were hard (undercooked). The service was also hit or miss. We asked our server for Saracha sauce a total of 3 times until finally he said, we are out. He then turned and saw a bottle on a guests table after they left and said, here you go the only bottle we have left. Overall, due to the lack of food quality and lack of service I do not recommend eating at this establishment! read more

The food was delicious and there was plenty. Our server, Venus, really took care of us.

Incredibly delicious food, great service and just a cool atmosphere. Had the chicken pad Thai and the appetizer sampler. All of it was hot, fresh and made with care. You get sooo much food! If you don't go here you simply hate yourself. read more

Great orange chicken and the calamari for an appetizer! Just across the street from me on Keene! Great food and great customer service. A must try... read more

Tons of amazing food, huge portions, great service and reasonably priced. I can't wait to eat my leftovers. Definitely recommend.

This place is incredible!!! The service, the food, the quality, the atmosphere, everything was 10/10! I highly recommend this place. We got dinner B and the sushi and sashimi combination and it was wonderful. The quality of the food is so good, some of the best sushi I've ever had too and the best hot and sour soup I've ever had. You can tell the food was made from scratch and very authentic. We will absolutely be back and I recommend anyone who wants authentic food to come here! read more

Worst customer service and bad food. Was waiting for my food and the guy was so rude to me. Never coming back again.

It's in a pretty hard to spot location but trust me when I say that you're not going to regret coming here. Wait time was short. Staff was friendly for the most part. Food exceeded my expectations. And the pricing was great. Everything in this restaurant impressed me, down to how the tables were set. I will definitely visit again! read more

Sakura - Salmon Roll Lunch, California Roll Lunch - Chinese Near Me - Richland, Washington

Food was ok. But EGG ROLLS HAVE PEANUTS! Ordered over $120 in food for 2 families. My friends kids are allergic to peanuts and after starting to eat had allergic reactions. We gave them meds and called the restaurant because nothing we ordered had nuts in it. The girl we talked to was great and went to the kitchen to investigate and she said they put peanut sauce in the egg rolls even tho there is no description of what's in the egg rolls or note that they have nuts in them sooooo ya problematic. She was sweet and apologetic. She didn't have the ability to refund or do anything about it. They have no manager to talk to and the boss doesn't speak good English so we couldn't come to a understanding. Also food was way too expensive for the amount we got. Would not recommend this place just based on ownership and inability to solve problems even though the girl we talked to was great her hands were tied with all the complications read more

The food and service here are so good! I've only tried the Chinese food and pad Thai, not the sushi but I love the food. It's always fresh. The only thing I recommend is that you ask to get your appetizers first as they bring the dishes out as they prepare them and sometimes the appetizers have been last. It's always very clean too. read more

At this point, I'm just writing reviews as a record for myself of what I've tried here. Picked up takeout today. Sakura is doing a great job with social distancing/sanitizing practices when I went in. I called ahead to order the General Tso's lunch special (comes with soup and pork fried rice), chicken lo mein, and veggie egg rolls. When I got home, I saw they misunderstood and gave me a chicken lo mein lunch special, when I really just wanted a big order of the lo mein. But that's no big deal! At least it was a little cheaper than a regular order. The flavor of the General Tso's was alright, but nothing stellar. I don't know if it needed more sauce, or if the existing sauce needed more tang, or what. I was missing the spicy, tangy, sweet of General Tso's. The breading was already pretty soggy by the time I got it home, which was disappointing. I've eaten about half of it so far, and I will say I haven't gotten any weird pieces of chicken, which is always a fear. The pork fried rice tasted okay, even if it was yellower/more oily than the pork fried rice I'm used to. HOWEVER, when I reheated it only a few hours later for dinner, it did NOT reheat well. I can't pinpoint what tasted off, but I have a lot of the rice leftover and won't be eating any more of it. Because of this, I wouldn't order a lunch special again since you don't get an option for the side, and I don't care for their soup. Lo mein and egg rolls continue to be delicious. Sakura will keep their 4 stars from me for the lo mein and egg rolls alone. TL;DR: Great: chicken lo mein, veggie egg rolls Not great: pork fried rice, General Tso's chicken read more

We had been to a couple of chinese restaurants and had 1 place that we really liked. So we gave this place a try since it offers both chinese and japanese food. The place is spacious and clean, however customer service can be improved. Other than taking our order and delivered our food, server never came by to check on our table and there were only 5 people in the restaurant. We ordered a red dragon roll, string beans, Mongolian beef and fried rice for lunch. The roll had a lot of rice and the tuna seemed to be fresh out of the freezer. String beans were good. Fried rice was oily. Overall, price was reasonable but food was not impressive and so was service. read more

Door dashed $56 in food. The main sauce to the main dish did not come. Called and asked. The mgr "Brian" was useless. Stammered and stuttered that there was nothing they could do. argued with me telling me that sweet and sour sauce for sweet and sour chicken is complimentary. I said it absolutely is not complimentary and he changed his story saying he "assumes" someone did not put it in the bag that it comes in a different container. That is a lot of money to be completely discarded the way it was. No big deal. If I could have come in, I would have gone to an actual Asian restaurant that knows what they are doing. "Brian" stammered again when I asked him what the actual restaurants managers name is and did not want to give it. read more

Dirty silverware. Hair in the salad. Ramen noodles given to us when we ordered yakisoba. Won't go back.

The food tastes good. Really good chow mein. It's a bit pricy for Chinese food but they get your food quickly.

Sakura:(n.) ornamental cherry blossom trees and their blossoms It's sort of amazing to find another restaurant serving Japanese cuisine in the Tri-Cities (there are atleast four I know of!). Under the Sakura sign it reads: "Chines & Japanese Rest" (see photo). So, sounds like quite a range of food will be covered here & you might have a tranquil meal. The restaurant is located in a fairly new strip mall, and the interior is pretty swanky for Tri-Cities standards. We called in for take out, but dining in here will definitely be something I'll want to do in the future. On to the food! The girlfriend ordered steamed veggies, vegetable tempura (we shared), and rice. I ordered three different rolls. In hindsight, yes this was a major feast, but I can't complain. I'm not an expert at sushi, but I am easy to please when it comes to sushi, and Sakura did a fair job. The tempura was also good. Overall, our food was fairly decent for the Tri-Cities. On a side note, I mentioned this place to a Japanese co-worker, and he talked to his "Japanese network" & visited the restaurant. The comments were mixed from his "network", but he thought they were pretty good. I guess one important marker for a good Japanese restaurant is how they treat their tuna. Thawing frozen tuna is an art, and it sounds like only a few cooks are good at this skill. Sakura did well with their tuna, so they receive kudos for that. read more

Mom, dad, and I came in for a mid afternoon meal. I had a particular appetite for duck. The dining area is a kind of small - fortunately the mid afternoon crowd was light. We ordered the honey chicken, eggplant, and Peking duck. Eggplant was one of the best I've had. I am not even an eggplant fan normally! The honey chicken was decent, but in retrospect I wish I had ordered something else. There are a lot of unique options, and the honey chicken is inherently generic. I was really impressed by the Peking duck. Tender, moist, and absolutely satisfied my appetite. read more

I've driven past this place many times and had decided today was the day to enter and enjoy lunch. I brought my 4 yr old daughter with me also. The windows are pretty and the ambiance is calming. There is a small sushi bar that is excellent and the food is great! (the noodles are a bit greasy, but it's nice once in a while). What I liked the best about the service here was that they were very catering to the fact that I had a child with me. They offered a half-sized plate of food knowing that she wouldnt be able to finish it, then then offered me a half-sized plate knowing that I'd be eating my meal and helping my daughter finish hers. I'm glad to put another fairly 'upscale' place to take my four-year old, on our 'date' list. It's nice to be able to take my daughter to a nice dinner that is far from the McD's and pizza regulars. Sakura offers green tea ice cream, I wish we would have had room to try it. Perhaps our next date will simply be a green tea ice cream date to Sakura! read more
