Editorial Review – Westsiders endure the long wait list and bento-box sized accomodations at this nondescript Culver City sushi spot.
ood food, decent prices, friendly staff – The owner, was previously a good waitress at a local resturant, and is almost always in the resturant and is friendly and you feel she concerned with customer satisfaction. If you get there in "prime" dining hours expect an hour wait, and little standing room, seats to wait outside though..arrive earlier or later..and no wait or not too bad of a wait, you can have a beer or saki while you wait inside. Nothing fancy here...kind of a family place..but very nice Sushi Bar, and an experi... read more
Tried this place one more time with great results – I went to this place one more time early around 6 pm and found a seat right away. We had been to Chaya in Venice the night before and comparing prices and quality was easier. The quality was on par, the service was fast and the prices were 30% less on average. The ambience is a bit run-down and the bad chairs do not help. The crowd here is of a different economic ilk than that of Chaya and would never run into them under normal circumstances. Since then, we have been to thi... read more
Quality sushi at a resonable price! – Fresh and good postions of quality sushi. The place is small and popular so expect a wait. The prices are good too and the cuts of seared tuna are nearly perfect. Service and atmosphere are just average but the sushi quality, quantity and cost is what Sakura offers best.
Great sushi, freshest fish, reasonably priced – I'm quite selective about sushi, but Sakura has, by far, the best sushi on the westside. It's a neighborhood restaurant where locals know the owners by name, as well as the comical sushi chefs (Harry!). It is ALWAYS crowded, but for a few good reasons: fresh fish, generous portions and reasonably priced. The albacore tops the list followed by the spicy tuna handroll. I'm reticent about sharing, but given the countless trendy, exorbitantly priced sushi restaurants in LA today, S... read more
Could Be Better, But Still Worth The Visit – My hubby loves this place while I, on the other hand, just like it. For some reason, it's always packed, though, and they even have to refuse patrons sometimes, as they get too busy. The sushi is good, but not as good as some of my favorite sushi spots. It's reasonable, though, especially how it's priced. I'm not a big fan of the big sushi rolls, though coz that seems a bit too Americanized. The oyster shooters are good, as are the salmon roe. Cost is usually around $60-70 for 2 d... read more
Great Sushi Spot – Sakura is a great neighborhood sushi spot. The fish is extremely fresh and well prepared. They have a great variety of noodle dishes, entrees and tmpura as well as sushi. It is always packed with families in the early evening and adults later- the servers are busy and hustling tables. They dont take reservations so expect to wait; especially if you are a group larger than four.
Great Lunch Combo – A friend and I went last Tuesday for lunch, and we were seated promptly though it was surprisingly crowded. The lunch combo featuring tonkatsu (pork cutlet), tuna sashimi, salad with a delicious ginger(?) dressing, miso soup with seaweed and tofu. It was very filling, and I would go to Sakura again for lunch. While eating, we saw a bunch of people go into the the bakery across the street, Angel Maid, so after lunch I went there to try the mango mousse. So delicious.
Great food, sushi and otherwise – This is a great local joint for those wishing to elude the hipster crowds that frequent many sushi joints ALL OVER Los Angeles, and those who don't want to pay an arm and a leg for ambience. Sakura is all about the food and the hospitality. It's fairly priced (not cheap, but not expensive, either). Sakura is an unpretentious, neighborhood joint which I hesitate to even write about. A nice oasis in a desert of trendy, subpar sushi restaurants.
