The fish was fresh, but the guac in it threw me off. The roll and pieces were very big, which I guess justify the price, but I preferred smaller rolls so I could try a variety of sushi. I think the restaurant is cute and I'm sure I would've enjoyed the regular maki rolls or nigiri, but it's a bit too pricey for me.

We did the edamame, the dumplings, the chicken skewer and the shrimp rolls. All were really delish. Our wait staff was great and everyone stopped by to check on us. All of the rolls we ordered were so fresh and every one was amazing. It is a nice interior with soft music and cozy booths/tables. They brought out a complimentary dessert for my son -which was a fried ice cream in a tempura batter....yum! They also will validate parking if you park in the "Victory ramp". Def recommend!

Happened to stop by this sushi restaurant leaving the European Christmas Market at the Union depot…read more I was craving some sushi and found Sakura was within walking distance from where I was. From the outside the Sakura doesn't look that big but once inside you see it is spacious! I was taken a back on the amount of space they had being a sushi restaurant. I happened to go in between the lunch and dinner rush so I was the only patron in there at the time. The waitress was a nice lady and had some good giggles with her as we chatted a bit. She showed me the upstairs balcony sitting area and I loved how much room there was upstairs. I told her I might have to rent it out for my birthday. The sushi I had was good with fresh quality and expert sushi makers. The menu was fairly extensive. Would recommend in downtown St Paul.

The price was excellent considering the food quality, but I was hoping for a more interactive experience And would have been nice if the chef explained the menu and the reasoning behind the drink pairings. Overall, the food was excellent, and I'd certainly return to this place since the staff were very friendly and not so busy time of the year.

My favorite ramen spot! First off this place is in an old train car which is super cool. It's…read moresmall but nice with a unique environment. Service is always super helpful and informative.

There was so much flavor and it wasn't too spicy. I was able to take leftovers home and I swear it was even better the next day. They also have an option where you can purchase additional noodles. The cocktail options here were quite fun and I had an orange cream rum drink that reminded me of a creamsicle. The ambiance of this place is so cozy especially on a cold night. It's a place we'll definitely come back to!

Prices are really good, but the lower cost may have reflected the quality of the food. The vegetarian ramen didn't come with eggs or tofu, so you'd just be eating carbs. The broth is also below mid and would not get it again. My boyfriend got the crispy chicken ramen and he really liked the chicken. But, he thought it was very bland overall. Lots of happy hour items at a favorable price. Overall, it's a decent choice if you are on a budget!

The inside is very small with only a handful of tables and chairs. I started with the crab jalapeño and that was yummy! I then had the fried chicken bun which I thought could have had a bigger piece of chicken on it as it was mostly bun. Then for my main course, my friend and I split the stir fried chicken ramen and the shredded char siu donburi. Both were delicious but the ramen didn't come with all the veggies it listed so it lacked a little flavor and texture. If you're in the area, pop-in for a yummy bite otherwise I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

Happy 2026 yelp community! We came to this buffet to celebrate the new year with sushi but we're…read morepleasantly surprised with a specially curated buffet for the holiday. The price was more expensive than the initial buffet, but it was well worth it with the choices that were served. Soft shell crab, frog legs, snow crab, and many more seafood dishes we're served alongside traditional buffet dishes. You can also pick up items from the sushi counter, the hibachi grill, pho station, or dim sum station. You will not be wanting for variety here. Service was very friendly and the staff were very quick to remove plates, trash, and any items to keep the tables nice and clean. Stafford also very friendly and chatty and really brought the experience together. A great way to kick off the year. We will have to make note of this special buffet for years to come. Regardless, this buffet always receives high marks from the locals and has been enjoyed by us when we've come in the past during their non-holiday buffet days.

I think there are better AYCE sushi places--food quality wise--however this place definitely wins on service. From the hostess to waitress, the staff were very nice.

Pros: - Very friendly staff - Clean restaurant Cons: - Some items took a while to deliver - Some of the fish quality was so-so

I've been to most of the AYCE spots around town, and never had such poor quality food. Even the fried rice was bad. Spicy tuna, was not spicy tuna. Shrimp tempura, was cold -- and bad. Salmon nigiri was barely chewable. Seriously, would never recommend this place even for a quick lunch. The best item I had was the miso soup... Check came and it said $0.00. I had to mention to my server that there was no price.
