“ I was on the fence with some of these reviews and the fact it’s located in a Hilton Hotel, but so glad we decided to give them a chance. Service was great. We ordered quite a bit of food including regular and spicy edamame, sashimi, three rolls, sushi tower, cucumber and seaweed salad. Everything came out at decent times allowing us to finish certain things with no rush. Our server was fun and friendly. Beer glasses were chilled which is great as well. My favorite of the night was the snake roll, but everything was delicious. Can’t go wrong especially if you’re tired and don’t want To venture out to find somewhere else to eat and good news it’s open fairly late. ”
“ We had a graduation dinner tonight and everything about the dinner was fantastic. Great food, great drinks, and great service. But overall the deficient highlight of the night was our cook pearl. She was super passionate about her work and great with interacting with the table. She made every effort to tell jokes and keep the tables energy up. If you decide to come to Sakura I highly recommend asking for pearl as your cook. ”
“ Very Good flavor, I didnt’t get Tepanyaki Table but ask for rolls & fried rice with chicken, my kids love the fried Rice and Special California Roll ”
“ Food wise. The best we have had in a long time. It is a nice, clean and enjoyable restaurant. The chef was pretty good. Not the best I’ve seen but very personable and did a great job. The options are fun and different from the normal. I’d come back again for sure. Prices are a little too high in my opinion but it’s a good experience and they did it well. ”
“ The food is amazing and it pairs well with the service. The staff is knowledgeable if you ask about their drink selections. If you have a group of 6 you can be seated to get her. Less than 6 will share the table with other guests. So be ready for table conversations. ”
“ Ate at the bar a Sunday night. They only serve sushi after 9pm. Bartender was nice. Food was good. Had drinks which were also good. ”
“ Great experience with Bobby as our chef. Lots of laughs and a phenomenal cook. We were already celebrating and he made it that much better. ”
“ By FAR the best sushi restaurant in Flagstaff. I’ve been going here for years now- the sushi is superb every single time (even when I get take-out). The service is always great too! Sit at the sushi bar for the best experience! ”
