Sakura Restaurant & Sushi Bar
- Asian Fusion
- Saint Paul, MN
About this business
Considered by many to be the best sushi house in the Twin Cities, the restaurant includes a small saki bar and fairly large sushi bar. Although the Sakura serves tempura, teriyaki, donburi and many Japanese noodle dishes, most people come for the reasonably priced and exotic sushi. If you are a novice, the waiting staff will guide you towards the selections that agree with your taste.Try tempura battered shrimp and fresh water eel rolled with spinach in a flaky shell. The grilled tuna or salmon served with a steamed vegetabl... read more

Worst dining experience – This was by FAR the worst place I've been to in Minnesota! We had a large party and reserved the private dining area on the upper level. The reservation was for 7:30 pm and we were told that the entire area would be clear; however, when we arrived (at 7:40 pm) the entire area was still filled with customers. When we approached one of the owners who we had worked with initially, he first 1) avoided us, 2) lied and said that they cleared the area at 5 pm (but somehow people still managed to be sitting... read more
I've had better sushi at Byerly's... – Not recommened for sushi lovers. The Yaki Tori, Gyoza, and Shrimp tempura were great. The sushi was possibly the worst I've ever had. The fish was not cut properly and too large. Great sushi melts in your mouth and dose not get stuck in your teeth. The service would have to be the worst part of the meal. We never got a spoon for our soup, and could not find our server before our soup was cold. Not to mention the long wait, there was not enough servers for the size of the resturaunt.
Biggest sushi – The sushi was definetly the star! I've been to some places where the sushi pieces are tiny and you can't even taste the fish, but not here - the sushi was big and beautiful. Very fresh. I had uni here for the first time and loved it! We also ordered some hot food, and my favorite was the tempura scallops that came with this amazing sauce! (plum sauce?) Service was a little slow, but not bad.
Worst Sushi food... a disappointing experience – Cannot call this Sushi place. It was downright bad and the waitress didn't have the decency to bring chopsticks. Wasabi was old; didn't have any kick to it. Don't know what kind of japanese sushi this is. Coming from LA, this place is a sorry representation of a sushi place and should be shut down.
Best Sushi in the Cities! – After trying a number of different sushi restaurants around the cities I would have to say that this is the best. The sushi was extremely fresh and they have a huge variety of rolls. I recommend this place to all sushi lovers!
Helpful Staff – This was our second sushi resturaunt after trying one in Las Vegas & the waitress was very helpful with making our selections. We went on valentines day & they also had horse drawn carriage rides outside. Very romantic.
Not the best in Mpls but still a dynamic sushi joint! – I went there for a birthday luncheon for a friend. We ordered a huge variety of rolls... very good, a bit pricey. I think we spent 40 dollars a person but didn't need to eat dinner. They have wonderful NO.9 rolls. The miso soup was great. They have a so-so atmosphere. It's tucked away on a St. Paul street. Parking was found in a ramp two or three blocks away.
good sushi – sakura sushi is good and the size of the sushi is decent compare to other sushi places. I also think they have good kitchen food (for example: tempura, miso soup, fried soft-shell crab, etc..) I recommend the number 9 roll and their aspen roll. But if your're a aa raw fish kind-of-person, then go for the hamachi, toro, and salmon. Spicy tuna will lite your mouth on fire if you like spicy food. Parking can be a little hard, because of its location downtown st. paul, on weekdays especially during lunch hours and w... read more
Excellent Sushi! – I have had Sushi at a few places in the Twin cities, and no restaurant compares to the quality of Sakura. My wife and I enjoyed two bowls of Nameko soup (mushroom and tofo) which was fantastic followed by the california roll appetizer. We then shared the aspen and "ecolab" rolls which were both excellent...large rolls and the freshest sushi I've ever had. It was my wife's birthday and they treated her to a FREE tempura fried ice cream. This place has class, but doesn't come across as snobbish at all. If yo... read more
