    The scorpion roll! 2 rolls in 1.

    My friend and I came here on a Tuesday evening and we were greeted and seated right away. The service is 10/10 and the sushi is 10/10. We had a great experience. Their rolls are fresh and have beautiful cuts of fish on them. The rolls came out fast and we enjoyed all of them. We never felt rushed. We are definitely coming back.

    We tried Sakura Ya while craving some sushi. Placed a take out order online, which was very simple. They also have some nice freebies if you order online and hit certain price points (2 free egg rolls for order over $25, free order of gyoza for order over $35, etc). We tried a chicken fried rice, sunshine roll and tiger roll, and got the free order of gyoza. Food was ready right when I arrived and packaged nicely. Overall, we were very impressed with the food. Everything was delicious, particularly the chicken fried rice. The sushi was good despite having been sitting for 15-20 minutes on the drive home before eating. I can only imagine how tasty it would be if we ate it right when it was made, especially since we tried one of the fried rolls.

    I come here very often to go or dine in. Delicious food at Sakura Ya every time! The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of authentic flavor. The staff were attentive and welcoming, making the whole dining experience even better. From the sushi to the ramen, everything was top-notch. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for delicious Japanese cuisine! Glad they are so close to home

    Popped in with the family after hiking in Mount Charleston. They have everything you would want from a Japanese restaurant and the food was delicious! It's a small hole in the wall but there is plenty of seating inside. Our servers were super nice and helpful. They were so nice to my baby and honestly that bumped them from a 3 star to a 4 star. Will definitely come back after adventuring in mount Charleston.

    Baked lobster roll (10/10)

    Great local spot! Came on a Saturday night, and they were quite busy. Most of the tables are taken up. We were kindly greeted, and quickly seated. Service was fantastic throughout the night, with attentive staff. The decor throughout the restaurant is quite tasteful, and provides a comforting atmosphere. Prices are extremely reasonable as well. They only have à la carte options, so don't come here expecting an AYCE type spot. However, their options are fantastic! Baked lobster roll (10/10) - Warm, filling, melt in your mouth lobster Black pepper beef (10/10) - this dish was fantastic! Plenty of beef, very generous portion sizes - beef pieces are large, chunky, and very peppery, just the way I like it - the meat is super soft with each bite - comes with a bowl of rice Overall, I am extremely happy to find another local hidden gem. I love sushi, and can't believe it took me so long to visit this spot. Definitely will recommend to my friends, and I will be coming back in the future!

    Let me tell you guys something. Go eat here and try it out, you will not be disappointed. Very high quality food for the price. The service is always excellent and they are so nice. Every time we go here the quality of the food and the taste is phenomenal. They get the food out very quickly and don't pressure you to eat faster. The vibe and ambiance is chill with the music playing and good conversations happening over great food. 10/10 recommend you go here if you're craving sushi and TRY THE SURF AND TURF ROLL! Only thing that would make this place even better would be an AYCE option because I can't get enough.

    My husband and I came to Sakura Ya because we were in the area. We walked in to this cute restaurant that had a few customers, and we sat down. We ordered a miso soup, Angry Birds roll, edamame, and the Playboy roll. The miso soup and the edamame were fine; but the sushi rolls were phenomenal. We thought they were even better than our favorite sushi restaurant. I was very impressed and I already want to and plan to come back! Services were on point, ambience was modern and trendy. Prices were great too!!!!

    We really enjoy this restaurant. We come here everytime we go to mt. Charleston and are on the way home. And everytime we come, it has the same good standard. Great fast and friendly service. Very clean. Fair prices. Quiet. And not too busy with tons of easy parking. The food portions are also large and tasty. We get the lunch bento for about $14-15 and the. The udon for $10 and it feeds us perfectly. If you are in the area, we recommend testing this place out. It is a good and calm restaurant!

    Had this again because it was so good the first time but was disappointed with the packaging. They gave me a dirty bag that was obviously used before and the egg roll container had a huge hole. I haven't had a chance to eat in and will try that. But was disappointed with the sloppiness of my Togo order.

    Masago and California Roll
    Maya T.

    Such a good sushi spot! It's quaint and quiet, which we love, and the service is quick too. They don't have AYCE, but they had a pretty good variety of rolls and starters. We started with a few appetizers, my favorite being their Fried Spam Musubi and the Seaweed Salad. The spam musubi was amazing!! Super crispy and the sauces they put on it were such a good combo. I believe it was Kewpie and an eel sauce, but with the fried tempura batter it was so tasty! The California Roll was pretty standard, so nothing to complain about there. My friends and I all enjoyed what we ordered and definitely plan on coming back!

    My wife and I always go to this place for local sushi. Pretty girl & Angry bird rolls are a must try! It's conveniently located in the Skye Canyon shopping center and the bathrooms are clean. The service is attentive, the setting is all you need for a local sushi spot, but most importantly the sushi is fresh and prepared well! Cherry on top it's actually Asians making the food!

    This place was delicious! Popped in for a Friday night dinner right at 5 and it was quiet--which made us nervous at first lol. The service was wonderful! Very attentive staff--quick service, too. We ordered several rolls and they were all fabulous! Definitely a great option for something so close to the house. Will be back again for a lunch special soon, I'm sure!

    Special on the beer, buy one get one. Ill take it :)

    Not sure, but cross-contamination could be an unintentional issue, so be careful.

    This is one of the most efficient Sushi places I have ever been at!!!…read moreServers with tablets make sure orders go in instantly while the cheery Chef's in baseball caps work away with absolute speed. Every item was ultra-fresh. Hot when hot and cold when cold. I would order something and just a minute or two it would come out. This was even with an 80% full restaurant. Even more impressive was that hot items came out very, very quickly. Matthew, my server was a cool laid-back guy who was super attentive. Everything he recommended was great! And he checked on almost everything I ordered! Something else impressive was how quickly they clean cleared and reset the tables. It was a team effort. Everyone who was in the restaurant serving or busing helped replace the items on the table. It was very cool to see. I have to mention Cassie, the first and last person I talked to. She greeted me at the door with a happy smile, asked if this was my first time and kindly recommended a lot of wonderful items when explaining the menu. On the way out she thanked me for coming. The space was simply but well decorated. They picked a great upbeat soundtrack for midday. It was a wonderful meal all around! I'll be back for sure.

You may not see your server for a long period of time and now the restaurant has decided there are no longer interested in carryout business as they will no longer take phone orders and they direct you to their website which is great. I find those convenient but then when you go to the website now you have to pay $1.50 just to use the website every time you place an order. I'm just wondering when restaurants are going to realize services predominantly what makes them a business. I can cook food for myself at home. I can even roll sushi for myself at home, but if I'm gonna keep getting nickel and dine just to have service, I'm going to quit eating out altogether, but in the case of this restaurant, I will now drastically reduce the amount of money. I spend there due to these greedy habits There is better ways to find an efficiency solution rather than charging your clients. This is a cost that could've been absorbed by the business and they chose not to. They will make more money by being able to service more people in a shorter period of time, but don't wanna part with the money it would cost for them to make that extra money and pass it on to their consumer.

This visit we had the rich, flavorful ramen along with several sushi rolls, and everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. The service is always friendly, fast, and attentive, making every visit enjoyable. It's hard to find a place that offers this combination of great sushi, outstanding ramen, generous portions, and prices that are tough to beat. The funny part is we've been here so many times and still haven't even tried the teppanyaki side yet. If the sushi and ramen are this consistently good, we're looking forward to finally giving it a shot. If you're looking for delicious Japanese food without spending a fortune, Sapporo is an easy recommendation. We'll definitely keep coming back!

While they revolving…read moresushi options (and ramen and other dishes), they also offer table side Teppanyaki dining as well. I've had the teppanyaki here and found it to be "just ok", but the sushi is really good, fresh, and a lot of fun. We went on a busy evening and there was a bit of a wait. The check in process was easy and they texted me when our table was ready so I didn't have to stand around. (we did, but I liked having the option to walk away). Service is friendly and solid. They're working hard and, because you have a tablet to order options you don't see coming around on the revolving belt, you service isn't all that attentive but we never wanted for anything. The ambiance is lively and there is a lot coming around that belt at brisk pace. All of the sushi was fresh and cool. The rice was nicely packed and fresh as well. They have standard nigiri and maki (rolls) options and some creative suggestions I haven't found anywhere but here that are really tasty. It's a fun evening out, fairly priced. Recommended.

We completely understand that AYCE restaurants can get hectic during busy times, so we were patient. Unfortunately, our final order never made it to the table.
