Sakura Japanese Restaurant - East Memphis

Mardi Gras roll!

I don't get to make it to The Sakura Japanese Restaurant Very often. I live about 45 minutes away, but the visit is Always Great. I love their food, atmosphere, and their staff. My favorite is the Joyce Roll. If you haven't tried it, you don't know what you're missing. 5-☆ Experience

The sushi my family ordered smelled really fishy and did not look fresh. I ordered the hibachi steak with extra vegetables. I did not get the extra vegetables but had to pay the three dollars more anyway. My wife ordered the filet hibachi and both of our steaks looked the same, over cooked and covered in teriyaki sauce with sesame seeds. We will not be going back.

Awesome eating experience. Sushi appetizer for dinner had 5 pieces and very clean and large pieces, We ate for dinner yako noodles and chicken hibachi. The food was cooked very well and portions were very adequate for dinner. Vegetarian options: One can get veg friend rice, veg hibachi and soups.

I went with my family for a birthday event. As we was there, we was greeted by a waitress who didn’t tell her name. It seemed like she was rushing us to order our drinks and food. During our time there, everytime we asked a question, the waitress had an attitude (it was all our first time there). She also barely checked up on us during our time there. Our food came at the different delayed times as well. It was unpleasant and not hospitality place. As I searched the menu, the dinner box is what’s I choose. I didn’t like the dinner box because you can’t choose which sushi items etc you want in your box. It’s basically a soup and salad (which is made up of soup (watered down) and salad (store bought salad mix) with dressing. The food didn’t taste very well. Not only did that disappoint, but the chicken I ate the meal with was basically a grilled chicken. A drizzle of sauce with sesame seeds on top. There was no love from the meal. We was only allowed to have a certain amount of refills on drinks as well. I would not choose this place again due to service and food items presented. Such a bummer for a birthday dinner. I would not go again.

We had a very nice dinner. The food was good. It was super packed and I think they were understaffed so it took longer than expected. Our server did amazing condisedering the large parties that she was also catering to. The rolls were super massive. 4 rolls could easily feed three different people. I will be back and look forward to trying all the things. My girlfriend gave it two thumbs up. Will be back.
