This is a solid choice for sushi, offering an AYCE option for a reasonable price. For the AYCE option, if one person at the table choses this, the entire table must participate so keep that in mind going into ordering as they also have a full menu. The location is spacious and has a cool video wall as part of the decor. I am not always a huge fan of AYCE sushi as it typically offers a lot of limitations including specialty roles, but this is not the case with Sakura. There are tons of offerings for AYCE and the staff is very attentive and comes around frequently for additional orders. I will also give them credit after going with several picky teenagers who devoured their food and always ask about going back as a fan favorite, that really says a lot! read more

Went early evening on a Thursday. Was seated right away and order taken and food out very quickly. So the service was excellent at all levels. The food is fresh and totally on part with other higher and sushi restaurants. Inside the restaurant is very clean, very modern and a very pleasurable than any experience read more

Nice elegant atmosphere. Host was welcoming at the door, I got seated right away. We chose the all you can eat option for $26.99. Probably the best selection if you were going for sushi. Other entrée styles were served as small plate plates and appetizer size. Our service was decent, was probably friends with a couple beside of us because they seem to be laughing and cutting up with them the whole time. Took them forever to bring out our plates. When she would ask if we needed anything else, we would remind her that we still ordered something that has yet to come read more

I have been to Sakura soo many of times so I am a seasoned vet of this place. It is def my go-to for quick, local AYCE. The sushi is always fresh and tastes amazing. Appetizers and non-sushi items on the AYCE menu are also always good. My boyfriend does not like sushi and Sakura is one of his favorites because of the chicken wings & beef fried rice. My only complaint is the lunch menu isn't my favorite and some menu items aren't as good/fresh as they normally are for dinner. Service is usually fast and prompt, sometimes it can be a little slow if there's a lot of people, but it's never too bad. Inside is always clean and put together. Overall, Sakura is probably not the #1 AYCE sushi in Charlotte but you definitely get your moneys worth! Will be back again obviously lol. read more

If you order to go make sure you check your food. Paid extra for shrimp and did not receive it. Took it as a loss but the hibachi flavors are not there. Just stick to the sushi. read more

Stopped here on a whim since I was in the area and wanted to grab lunch. Love an ayce restaurant so that is what drew me to try them out! Asked about the paper menu to mark what I wanted to get but server informed me that is was all sent on the iPad now. What I ordered: crab rangoons - pretty decent! shumai - not a fan. It tasted cold inside. Tried another, and it was the same. Fire dragon roll - solid sushi roll! no complaints here. Ordered the yellowtail jalapeño - a fav of mine but it only came out with one piece. Sashimi - ordered a few at a time, some not pictured, but it's ok. It was still a bit frozen. Miso soup - came out fresh and hot. I don't normally order this but it was good. Kani salad is also a fav of mine. Not pictured, but I enjoyed it. I wouldn't say it was a wow factor but the service and waitress made it a good experience. read more

Loved this place. All you can eat sushi and hibachi. Something to keep in mind.Their lunch menu is only Monday-Friday. 16.99 pp, 11-4pm. Saturday and Sunday the only option is the dinner price at 26.99pp. All day. There is a 2 hour max for dining. For me, this is OK as long as my food is coming out in a timely manner. The ambiance is really nice. It's a small space but well thought out layout. Its good for small groups. You can tell they put some thought into it. They have a huge motion wall that changes with different moving sceneries. Our server was nice and explained the menu. All of the options we chose were fresh, and had good flavor. We were satisfied. I like that when you order certain items, like the wings, they only bring out 1at first. You are basically trying it out so that you don't waste a bunch of food if you don't like it. They do charge extra if you waste a bunch of food. The sushi rolls to me seem a little larger than I've had at other sushi restaurants. You get full faster. Great choice for All you can eat. I do recommend. read more

Wow, this place fell off fast. When it first opened, it was equivalent to Mr. Tokyo as far as quality is concerned now it's trash. The rolls have shrunk. The food tastes like you got it at Harris Teeter from yesterday. I'm so disappointed. I used to look forward to going to this place not anymore. read more

I absolutely love this restaurant it is my favorite sushi restaurant in clt. It's affordable with very good amounts of food. The hibachi is very good, but the maki sushi is my favorite omg. So good. So good. This is my favorite sushi ever. Mind u this is 2 separate times I have gotten the maki and it was so good but I've gotten it 4 times now. read more

This has quickly become my husband's FAVORITE sushi spot. I love their vegetable hand rolls and their sweet potato sushi. The fried rice and hibachi vegetables never miss. The little fountain at the entrance is very cute and most of the time they have these huge projectors running that have cycling images of leaves falling or fish swimming - it is very relaxing for kids too (especially if you have one that loves baby sensory videos, they will be fascinated by the projectors). The wait staff are super nice too and they try to remember you if you are repeat customers as well. read more

My prior review had this place at a 5. I was going just about once a week until I found a hair on one of my rolls in October of last year. They gave me a fair discount and I just didn't eat that piece. Flash forward about 8 months, I decided to come back for a lunch out. Gone are the paper menus where you select what you want and how much of it you'd like. You have to order through the server, who has a tablet. This is annoying when you want to order a variety of food and have to remember which items to name off. I don't think you can pick the individual quantity of each item like you could before, promoting potential food waste. The new menu also seems to have some things cut or possibly hidden. They used to have ice cream as a dessert option, so I asked about it. They said they still offered it for free but it's not on the menu because the flavors change. Still, it'd be good to know that we at least a choice. Overall, I'd give my experience a 3. I much prefer the paper slip ordering system, and the special roll selection for lunch is not good. The food was fine, but I now have to go and forth between here in Mr. Tokyo where this used to be my favorite of the two. read more

Where to begin... the service was subpar. They had one server working a 12 party and our side which was like 11 tables. My husband ordered the yellowtail jalapeno and I ordered the pepper tuna tataki. The picture is below. It says 1 on the menu so my understanding is one order per person. Well, it is. But it's 1 ONE piece. The menu shows more. You only get one because it's a "special". This used to be high quality good food. Now it's just subpar. Yes, you get unlimited but it's just meh at its best. This used to be my go to. Now, not so much. I will not go back. The waiter was rude. The girl working at the counter starred me down the whole time. Save yourself your money and your time. Oh, they don't have the paper to write down what you want. You tell your server. Oh, and if you want wasabi and ginger don't forget to ask for it, it doesn't come with your sushi. read more

Love this place, love our server Erfan and the vibe is cool. Weekly visits continue for lunch!!

Really good experience at Sakura. We ordered the AYCE option for 26.99 each and it was definitely worth it. The food and service were amazing and the rolls came out relatively quick. We went on a Friday around 5pm and it was relatively empty and quiet. There is free parking in front of the restaurant. Definitely check it out if you are in the neighborhood! read more

Stopped by for a sushi fix. It's been awhile. Nice strip Mall parking lot and larger than expected interior. Typical Asian decor. Met at door by friendly hostess who immediately seated me. Since Sakura offers both all you can eat and traditional menu you have to declare intentions. Mine was for a simple quiet Japanese style meal so I ordered off the menu. Miso was brought out first and was very tasty. Next came my roll (I am sorry I forgot which one I got). It was also tasty and on the large side. Very nice. The shrimp Udon was also good but since it is something new for me to try not sure. I liked it. Service was friendly and my water glass stayed full. Very attentive. read more

Service was nice. The food came out at different times that didn't make a lot of sense. I would think a roll would come out after sashimi or nigiri. There was an interesting full wall screen that looked to be playing updated versions of windows screen savers. It wasn't too expensive, $26 for an all you can eat menu. I ordered way too much, but it all was pretty good sushi for the price. read more

First time here and I'm very impressed! Very clean and open dining area. Nicely decorated and organized. Staff were friendly and so fun with my son. We did the all you can eat sushi and everything we ordered was delicious. The favorites were Tuna Mango and Fire dragon roll. My son really liked the fried rice with chicken. Everything is all you can eat. Already thinking about when we're going back. Great experience! read more

Food: we opted for the all you can eat option. If you do that, the entire table has to pick the option. We selected a variety of dishes and it took about 15 minutes to arrive. You mark your order on a paper and you can reorder as much as you want. Everything we ordered was delicious and freshly made. They do accommodate special requests too. Service: was good but fairly slow. Compared to the terrible Mr. Tokyo this is far better in terms of speed and quality Ambiance: very nice decor. We recently came back from Japan and it really felt like a Japanese restaurant. I would definitely come back and recommend to others. You can also order through the menu or delivery. read more

Stopped by here after the movies on a Saturday and was seated immediately. It's $26.99 for AYCE sushi/hibachi which is a great price once you see just how much food they offer. I tried the tempura mushroom, spring rolls, and clear soup from the apps menu and I will say that they were very basic and just okay to me. The real star is the sushi. I got some salmon nigiri and the salmon was massive. You could also get AYCE sashimi which is amazing since I think this is the only place you can do that at. My favorite roll was the Sexy Roll. I was too full to try the hibachi but I will next time! read more

This is an 'all you can eat sushi and hibachi' restaurant in Concord. The prices are reasonable, $27 dollars for endless sushi or you can order entrees off the menu. I decided I wanted the steak teriyaki (medium well) with steamed rice, and a salad. The salad was pretty average but the steak pieces were very generous but the onions were a bit overload. The hibachi sauce that accompanies the entree was a good fit, and service was decent. The place is clean, and the restrooms are decent. Parking is available in front or behind the business. Overall, I would return again. read more

Food was ridiculously bad. Ordered the Chicken teriyaki plate and what I got was a frozen, thin cutlet that had a squirt of generic teriyaki sauce, cold broccoli and a side plate of white rice. We also ordered gyoza, which was definitely not pan-fried and the sushi roll we got didn't taste fresh and we were too scared to risk eating the rest so left 50% of the roll behind. The server was overwhelmed it seemed because there was no rhyme or reason as to what she was bringing out for our party of 12. Some people were getting ice cream before they got their sushi rolls or gyoza. Other members of our party were not getting food they ordered after the server kept dropping off other rounds of dishes and had to remind her multiple times what they were still missing. The restaurant was not that clean and felt outdated. It being Mother's Day, the fact that it was empty in the early evening should have been a red flag to us. Go to Mr. Tokyo! read more

Snuck away from great wolf to grab dinner. We were very impressed with this all you can eat sushi option. Kids get cut out of the kids pricing at 10 which is something to be aware of if dinning with light eaters. My hot tea was not included in the dinner price. But that was ok. We sampled all of the things and left happy and content. For a make as you order sit down restaurant the speed of food delivery was impressive. The main wall was used as a multi projector screen and my kiddos loved the underwater photos and cute Japanese characters. Did I mention the food was awesome too?!! Get the coconut balls. They are warm break balls filled with warm gooey coconut. read more

I really enjoyed this place. I came with my son for lunch. All parties must do the AYCE if one person selects it. Our server was new but kind and attentive. Food was tasty and ordering is by the piece for some items so there is no waste. I will come back again! read more

This is my 2nd time and both times we got the all you can eat option and it's definitely worth it. It's made to order which makes the experience even better, I do hate that I haven't gotten a chance to try the buns which I think are off the menu now. The tempura shrimp, hibachi chicken, fried pork gyoza and green tea ice cream is so good. The sushi is my favorite tho, I've tried 4 different types and none disappointed. The staff is so friendly and nice and I love the ambiance. If you haven't tried this place, then what are you waiting on? 10 out of 10 recommend!!! read more

Don't be fooled by the reviews from other people here. This is coming from an Asian that's tried all the AYCE sushi restaurants in CLT and someone that grew up eating all types of Asian food. This is probably the worst AYCE sushi in the area. Definitely at the bottom of our list. The quality of the sushi was poor. The sushi rice tasted old and stale. The appetizers were mid. Sad to say we will not be coming back. read more

Absolutely loved eating here! Such a beautiful space and my kids loved the animated wall! The all you can eat is so ideal! We were traveling to Great Wolf so it was great to stop here and get some delicious sushi. Service was 10/10 as well!

AYCE sushi and everything is made to order. You get a sheet to fill out and our server kept bringing us new sheets quickly; I loved it! Plates are adorable and inside is really cute and open. I will definitely be back here soon! read more

Sorry to say food wasn't good especially compared to price - yes you get lots of food. Steak was overcooked , barely edible. They do offer sashimi which is a positive. Probably should have ordered more sashimi in hindsight , the rolls were unremarkable. read more

Food was great. Portions are small but that's not surprising for all you can eat when it is made to order. Considering it is made to order, the wait time was very short and food came out quickly. The hot food was definitely fresh and very hot when it came to the table. sushi rolls vary by number of pieces depending on what you order but they have several options that would be a full roll (8 pcs). From the outside, it looks small but it is much bigger inside than I expected with some ambient wall projections and music. The lighting seemed just right and the overall experience was enjoyable. read more

We were craving good food and ordered chicken fried rice and chicken and udon noodles- can't mess that up right? It was SO BAD. The chicken was rubbery and it all lacked flavor. We tried to eat it because it was pricey, but we couldn't. It was really gross. A waste of $40. So sad. read more

The atmosphere is beautiful, staff is very friendly with a wide variety of food options. Important to note that Saturday and Sundays there is no "lunch menu" it's all day dinner for $26.99. We went in anticipating $16.99 AYCE lunch at 1:00 pm, but couldn't. Website had no information on pricing or disclosure about being restricted to only a dinner menu on weekends. I think it is something they should consider adding to their website. Despite that, the food was good and I'd come back. read more

It was good food that was fast. The service was good. I will eat it again. The sushi was good.

What a disappointment. I should've known when I walked in at lunchtime and there were only four tables. Pretty sure it's against the law to make people order this or that. The whole table has to order AYCE or order off the menu, went to lunch with some friends and one doesn't eat fish. She ordered spring roll edamame and potstickers and she had to pay the 16.99 total crap. The fish was chewy in both rolls I ordered and had a funky texture. I eat sushi about once a month. This was the worst, I have ever had. One of the rolls I had was deep fried and they barely fried it making it soft and mushy. For a place having so many rules for subpar food they should be ashamed of themselves. read more

The service was fine. But the food was not good. When eating nigiri, I want the fish to be cold and the rice to be room temp. The rice was hot- which made the nigiri super weird. It was too pricey for the type of food we were served. Even the ice cream was old and not good. We should've left when no one was there at 12:30 at lunch time but wanted to give the place a shot. read more

All of our sushi was very good. Service was good (we ate pretty early), but I definitely would go back.
