Really enjoyed our dinner here! We ordered the mixed tempura, Dynamite Roll, and the Osaka-style…read moreSushi Box. Everything tasted fresh, and the sushi was excellent for the price. The service was kind and attentive, and the restaurant has a cozy, authentic feel that reminds you of a little spot in Tokyo. While we were there, another customer caused a scene after finishing his meal and then tried to get a refund. The staff stayed calm, professional, and respectful the entire time, which honestly made me appreciate them even more. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh sushi and a great experience.

I popped in here with my family Sunday (father's day) afternoon. This building has been here to…read moredecades but was recently redone, with a Laundromat at one end and this restaurant the other. There is parking on either side of the building, and around the corner up the hill from it, so if one lot doesn't work, there's another. At our table, we ordered a smoothie, the salmon teriyaki, and the chicken/beef combo teriyaki. The salmon came with a side salad. The food was great, very fresh, and very hot. The chicken/beef teriyaki, we realized, was served in a cast iron shovel. Hilarious! What was also super impressive was how quick we were served. I feel like we basically sat down, asked for food, and it was on the table within moments.

Does the thought of raw fish make you squeamish? No worries here!…read more #1 All of the menu items with raw fish are indicated with a bright red star, so no surprises. #2 There are over 200 choices on the menu! So glad I grabbed one as we left so I could study it for next time! We had the privilege of living in Japan several years ago. Long enough to try just about everything and some things I'd wished I hadn't! (My hubby was in his realm & I'm the squeamish one!) Sushi Sakura has done an amazing job in offering so many choices for just about any pallet. Everything is beautifully presented in typical Japanese fashion. I'm partial to Bento Boxes because of the variety in them and they're so stinkin' cute. And their Sushi ROLLS! We got the biggest kick out of the names of some of them: Miso Sexy Roll, the AK47, Godzilla Roll, just to name a few! The dining room is huge with lots of seating. The decor is a little spartan, but that is also somewhat typical Japanese. They keep things very clean, uncluttered and simple. I've got to try one of their noodle bowls next, now that it's winter!

I believe there's been a change of ownership, and it shows…read more Went on a Saturday night. The waiter greeting us was visibly disappointed when we didn't want habachi, just sushi. I felt bad for a minute but then he brought us to a table where the cushions were so blown out that the table was coming almost to our chins. It felt vindictive and I didn't feel bad anymore. Things got even weirder after that. We asked about happy hour and he said you have to be sitting in the bar, we asked to move there. Get to the bar and there's no bartender.......why sit us there? Bizarre. He took our drink order and mocked me for my choices. "OMG, you think whiskey tastes good with sprite? Ew" I honestly didn't know how to respond, I've never had a waiter be so weird. Then instead of making the drinks, he disappeared and didn't come back. Finally had to flag down another waiter who took our order, made the drinks and put in our food order. The food has gone downhill. My spider roll was rolled so poorly I couldn't use chopsticks. Had to use my hands and pray it wouldn't fall apart. Most of it did. Crab tasted old. Prices have also gone completely out of control. There is no happy hour to speak of, 10% off isn't worth anything. And $11 for a Sapporo?!?!?!?!? That costs less than $4 in a store. This restaurant is paying less than that. Absolutely insane. This used to be a favorite spot but we won't be back.

Our chef was super funny and super talented! Being as I made my bones in the culinary world I so enjoy watching my food being prepared in front of me! We both got hibachi for two and the entire meal was succulent and hot! Well prepared and well priced! The atmosphere is what you'd expect of a hibachi joint (I don't mind the noise as we shared tables with some nice people) Overall 10/10, would most definitely come back and would most definitely recommend to family and friends. If you ever find yourself in Kelso I most definitely recommend stopping by if you've the time!

So I went for lunch today, ordered the special chicken and gozas. Well soup salad were terrific again and then they showed up with a massive plate of teriyaki chicken and 2 huge scoops of rice! I started with the gozas because they don't reheat well, ate as much of the wonderful chicken as I could and honestly came home with enough food for 2 meals!! Can't wait to try the sushi special next!! well done.

Coming from a background where I've worked a sushi restaurant and have had really good quality…read moresushi, I was pretty disappointed with the quality served. Let's start with the positives though. The service here is friendly as my boyfriend and I were greeted and seated promptly with menus. We ended up going with their current special where you get two rolls and an appetizer, my boyfriend got the salmon delight while I got the coconut shrimp roll with the shrimp tempura for our appetizer. The ambiance here is very classy and definitely goes for a more upscale dining experience with paper lanterns, minimalistic decor and the slightly dim lighting. We got salad and miso soup but I have never seen the salad with a thick orange dressing, it was alright but my boyfriend wasn't a fan. The miso soup was okay but I really wished they put tofu or wakame. We got the shrimp tempura first and the shrimp is nice and juicy, however the breading was a bit off. It had a weird texture and taste that I have never tasted on shrimp tempura. Our rolls were dropped off and I noticed that the rolls are huge but the quality was not the great. The rice appeared mushy, the spicy tuna filling for both rolls was meh (also spicy for my boyfriend who can't handle spicy), and my coconut shrimp roll had a different sauce from the coconut shrimp as it was a spicy mayo (orange) compared to the white coconut sauce that was drizzled on the side of coconut shrimp. The coconut shrimp also had the same batter as the shrimp tempura so it was off putting and I was hoping more for the traditional coconut shrimp with coconut flakes on it. I wouldn't mind trying out the peanut butter chicken or their other entrees as I feel like that would have been the better move. Our server didn't really check in on us until the end which was unfortunate as my boyfriend needed water, especially due to how spicy the spicy tuna was.
