AYCE dinner $21.99. Spider roll, white tuna, tuna, yellow tail, shrimp & squid.
Jennifer W.

We were craving sushi and the fiancé has been wanting to try Sakura for a whole. The AYCE dinner is $21.99, but the selection is kind of limited. The sushi chef kept missing items from each round of of our AYCE selections (half of our nigiri first round; two rolls second round). The quality of the fish was ok, but nothing was super great. The best tasting nigiri was surprisingly the white tuna (which I normally don't like). The fish to rice ratio is actually kind of generous! For the rolls, I kind of wished you had that option for half rolls or hand rolls to try more items. I love salmon skin rolls, but they are so much better as a hand roll! One roll that stood out was their sweet potato & eel tempura roll. It had way too much sweet potato and you couldn't taste the eel over the soggy tempura batter. If you go for the AYCE, you might be disappointed when you start noticing that half of their speciality rolls are not on the AYCE list. The best part of their AYCE was the nigiri being generous pieces of fish in proportion to rice. I wish that they had more speciality flavors like garlic tuna or something spicy for a garnish sauce like other sushi restaurants. Yelp 100 Challenge - 63 of 100

Salmon Lover's roll on the left Dragon Roll on the right. Above them is the unfortunate piece of bone I bit into.

Disclaimer: I got delivery during the Super Bowl. This may have affected the quality. I ordered miso soup, edamame, and the popular Dragon Roll and Salmon Lover's Roll. The delivery was fast and very friendly. No issues there. Not thrilled with the food, though. The soup and edamame were fine, not noteworthy. There was something off about the rolls. A flavor I couldn't put my finger on. Still, they weren't awful. I was extremely off-put, however, when my first bite into the salmon roll contained a rather large bone. I've eaten a lot of sushi in my life and I can't say I've ever gotten a bone before. Honestly it killed my appetite and definitely affected this review. :/

Spicy tuna and dragon roll
Janny K.

This place is good. Good service. Quality of the food is good. Food came out in a decent time. First time having a salmon skin that's crunchy on the inside In which I've enjoyed. Food came in decent sizes, not too large So I can try out other food. We had the all you can eat special. For lunch $18.99 special, there wasn't much option so we had to get the dinner $21.99 ayce (option was just the sashimi) Cons: not much options on the menu for ayce, no free dessert /miso soup/ teriyaki dishes, uni roll, sashimi salad, mussel cheese, no bake rolls, etc. So I wasn't as satisfied as I would be like other sushi places. So I will give 3 stars because I wasn't fully satisfied with their limited options.

so overstuffed with rice with a small sushi piece
Jerry L.

Tried the all you can eat. so overstuffed with rice. rice doesnt taste like sushi rice. its got a strong vinegar taste. this is more of a fast food teriyaki restaurant quality sushi spot. quality is very mediocore. 2 stars for a very nice staff but theres only 1 sushi chef and the service is slow. they kept forgetting our orders and we didnt even order much. they gave us some comped roll for our AYCE sushi stuffed with rice and cream cheese to fill us up before we even got our 1st sushi we ordered. stick with Hon, momijis, or maki sushi for authentic sushi place is chinese owned which can be why its not that great.

Today was a weird SoCal day, it actually rained. So my wife and the rest of the family was craving some sushi, hot sake and warm tea for comfort. We were so lucky to have found this place. The food and service was great. Talking to the waitress we found out that there is new ownership. The sashimi was fresh and the rolls were bomb. We did the ACYE with the crunchy roll, spider roll and had ton of sashimi. Must try for someone who is craving sushi around the area! Oh the hot sake was money! Cheers!

Chirashi Box
Ashley M.

I had come here for lunch with my coworkers and noticed that it was actually pretty empty. I had ordered the chirashi box (sashimi over rice) and it was pretty good. Everything here was nothing more or less than my average expectations. It was great knowing that they could accommodate to the fact that my coworker wanted the E1 lunch special. But since she doesn't like raw fish, they were kind enough to make an exception and substitute he first roll with a crunch roll. It didn't seem possible at first but then the waiter went to the back and asked and got the okay. After we had ordered our food, we decided we wanted to order the Lion King roll as well. Our waiter simply told us "it would take too long," which made it really awkward. Again, in the end we still got it and it came out in a decent amount of time (it seemed the same as any other roll). So aside from the awkward moments with the waitress, I say this place is nothing out of the ordinary. Not amazing, yet not terrible.

So good!

My daughter and I went here on a Saturday around 1:00pm. We both got AYCE, kids are half price and it also includes a drink. The sushi were fresh and delicious. The sushi rolls come in 8 pieces and are huge. We ate around 4 rolls (salmon, spicy salmon, eel w/tempura shrimp and tempura shrimp). It got us really full. I will definitely come back with the rest of my family.

"AYCE" menu
Kimberly T.

Anyone who says this place is better than Sushi Kuni probably lost all their tastebuds. Came in tonight with my boyfriend. Probably should have walked back out after we realized NO ONE else was in the restaurant. It was prime dinner time too???? Anyways, we ordered off their AYCE menu and let me tell you, that is the SADDEST AYCE menu I have ever seen. TOTALLY NOT WORTH $28.99/person!!! We only did 1 sad round because the fish is NOT fresh. My boyfriend just threw up because he felt sick after eating. We left the restaurant still hungry and out $72. Go to Sushi Kuni or Sushi Me instead. We only tipped because we felt bad for the guy serving us. NOT one table came in during the time we were there, that should tell you NOT to go into this establishment.

Love this place, food are amazing. High quality fish, if you like sushi come try this place, you will love it. Definitely going back soon. Service were good and owner was really friendly too.

Yummy Roll. Hamachi on top!
Emily C.

We came here for lunch and my coworker is allergic to avocado. Thankfully they got our orders correctly as I love avocado. Yummy Roll was actually pretty good with hamachi on top. Shrimp was small but had a nice texture unlike the softer ones I've had at other places. Spicy mayo sauce was not that spicy but if you're not used to eating spicy foods, it has a bit of a heat. Spiderman Roll was pretty good but topped with panko crumbs and I didn't particularly like their unagi sauce. The crab itself was coated with breadcrumbs rather than tempura. Not bad with a coupon for buy 2 rolls, get one of lesser value (like crunchy roll) free, but I wouldn't make it a point to eat there again. Service was pretty cool and they revamped the place since it was a Shanghai place before.

Tuna Lovers' Roll. Just the right amount of kick...plus 1. Delicious food. Great company. Attentive staff.
Adrienne T.

We enjoy this place for its genuinely nice staff and decent sushi. What I love most is that it is rarely crowded. Would give 5 stars, but it feels like almost every one of their specialty rolls is based on the California Roll and I'd much rather have real fish and less mayo in my diet. A favorite is the Foothill Roll which has jalapenos and some bite! Miso soup could be better. Good people and a great little joint for a quick meal.

Renée T.

Best sushi food in the area. Friendly service and good quality food. This is my first time, but will come back again for sure.

Best sushi place in town and amazing staff !!

Dinner at Mikomi Sushi was honestly exceptional. The sashimi selections were incredibly fresh,…read moreespecially paired with the fresh wasabi that brought out every clean, delicate flavor. You could immediately tell real thought went into each choice. The cucumber salad was crisp and perfectly balanced, and service throughout the night was excellent attentive, welcoming, and polished without ever feeling forced. What made the evening even more special was watching someone rediscover how great sushi can actually be. Her incredible choices of sashimi made the entire dinner feel elevated, and somehow turned a simple night out into something spectacular.

Our group of 6 adults went shortly after 6pm on a rainy Saturday and were seated rather quickly. The restaurant is spacious and about 75% full. By the time we left, there was a small group of people waiting to be seated. The servers were humans and robots. The food....excellent! Presentation and quality were incredible. Time between food ordered and arriving to our table was very reasonable but not too fast that made you wonder if it was already made just sitting in the back. Our party of 6 ordered spicy tuna crispy rice, avocado rolls, Mikomi special role, Firecracker roll, age dashi tofu, Lady Marmalade, ultimate salmon roll, mango special roll, and a ramen bowl that I did not get the name of (our friend ordered). No pics to post, but a sushi spot worth checking out!

The small lot has crowded parking, but there's street parking and I was very lucky. It's a small mom & pops place, which usually is a great sign for sushi. Because seating is quite limited, reservations for omakase (really good value) at the bar is recommended & definitely get on the Yelp waitlist as soon as you're within 2 miles or you will be in for a wait. The staff here is knowledgeable about the menu so don't be shy about asking for their specials. We waited 15-20 min, but I will say the food is so worth it. Must tries, crispy bites, king crab chawanmushi, black cod handrolls, the bluefin burrata. Everything tasted excellent, which is rare. Even the ice cream made in house was phenomenal & I'd go back just for that.
