Sakura Brooklyn Reviews
Love this quaint little shop! Their sushi is always so yummy & fresh, and the owner is such a sweet lady. Dining in has a very homely vibe, and their takeout is always super fast. Definitely feel lucky to live near Sakura!
I usually choose this place because it is very close to my house. I have developed the habit of eating sushi here. I love this place. The staff is very kind. It is really cheap and delicious.
The best sushi place around. We have been regulars for years and have yet to find better sushi anywhere. The staff is excellent and always very welcoming. Great service and a great intimate setting. We will be back again soon.
The food was amazing, our waitress was so nice and sweet she even gave me chopsticks and they let me feed the fish. I love it here. I will definitely come back:)
It's my favorite sushi spot in all of Brooklyn. I'm not the only one who thinks so. When going inside, they have many customer letters and pictures on display. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
The restaurant is located in the Sheepshead Bay/Homecrest section of Brooklyn. They prepare Japanese cuisine. I ordered the sushi bento box and the sashimi bento box. Both bento boxes were very good. The bento boxes included miso soup and salad with a choice of white rice or brown rice. The sushi box has four pieces of sushi and the sashimi box has five pieces of sashimi including one shrimp. The eel avocado roll was good. The restaurant is priced well. They also offer dining in with a server. Parking is easily available with an adjacent parking lot.
the food took 40 minutes after promised time to deliver, i called to ask when it would be here and they hung up on me, then when the guy finally got here he Banged aggressively on my door and was yelling. then when it got here the food was cold and unenjoyable
The worst sushi I’ve ever had in my entire life. I don’t understand how can they give this to a customer? You can see on photos, there was skin and brown stuff that belongs in the trash. I had to spit out with every bite! I’ve never had sushi this BAD! Sushi is not cheap, I will never come back to Sakura on avenue U. It was disgusting! Absolutely horrible experience! Money down the drain.
Never ever ever again. I had tried this place years ago and wrote it off when they gave me a pickled jalapeno on my yellowtail jalapeno (sushi appetizer). I decided to give them another try today. Worst mistake ever. I HAVE FOOD POISONING. Fevers, Vomiting, Chills, Diarrhea. NEVER EVER AGAIN.
