It was our first time & honestly it was a beyond amazing expérience dining there. The food was served super fast (I was expecting that I would wait at least 30 min) & the service was very friendly. The environment was also very cozy & homey. Love it & we will definitely come back again. :)

Très bonne adresse pour manger des sushis frais dans un cadre typique. Le combo soupe/tempura/salade, plat principal & dessert est vraiment parfait. Les sushis sont délicats & très frais. Tout était délicieux. La serveuse est aussi d'une grande gentillesse.

Went to Sakura multiple times in recent years & always loved the food & attentive service from the original owner & chef. It is in my experience the most authentic of Japanese restaurants around.

Nice atmosphere & a comfortable dining environment. The food was decent but fairly average. A few sushi rolls arrived already falling apart, & the salad in the set menu had quite a lot of dressing.

Service during the meal was friendly, though the food took a bit longer than expected. When we mentioned our feedback at checkout, there was no acknowledgment or apology, which was a little disappointing. Overall, a pleasant place, but there is room for improvement.
