Sakura Asian Bistro - GIRDWOOD

Great service! The sushi and bento box were very flavorful! Highly recommend

Delicious food! We ordered the ramen and the sushi boat. Everything was very fresh and full of flavor. The service was fast and friendly!

Since this place didn't take reservation (very small place) we took our chance to just try our luck. We were seated less than a minute on their busiest night....as long as you don't mind sharing tables with strangers and made a few friends. The menu is decent and covers enough varieties. We picked a few basic and some unique dishes just to see how well they compared. We ordered the seaweed salad, crab tempura, black pepper king crab knuckles and the lobster crab lemon grass roll. The seaweed salad was well prepared. Not too sweet and it tasted fresh. The tempura was lite and crispy with a slightly more acidic yuzu dipping sauce which I liked a lot. The one thing I did noticed it the crab is not as fresh as it should have been. The lobster knuckles was somewhat ambitious and hit some high and low marks. High marks for creativity and perfectly studied stir fried veggies. Though the lobsters have a nice delicate thin crust, it's a bit more spicy (with jelopeno) version of the tempura sauce. I know it's a matter of personal preference but I think could be better if the sauce was on the side box you can't take it out if it's too much for the customer. The lobster crab lemongrass roll was the least favorite and disappointing for something that sounded very promising. The rice were a bit mushy for a roll and there were no lobster or crab. It looks like a normal surimi krab roll that's fried and serviced warm (yes it's another fried dish). Not worth the money... hence the missing star from my review. Overall they get a passing grade for service, quality but a bit lacking in the value for the money.

AMAZING! This is one of the best sushi experiences I've had anywhere in the world. Sit at the bar and ask the chef to prepare his favorites; you won't be disappointed! I can't recommend this place highly enough!

The food was excellent, and there was a wide variety of options that suited my tastes! I ordered the ramen with pork and a crunch roll, while my friends opted for the sushi boat. I've returned several times since my first visit! However, I probably wouldn't choose the ramen again since it didn't quite impress me. On the other hand, the drinks were fantastic! I highly recommend the dragon drink with lychee.
