Sakura Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar

Healthy portions! It's a small quaint little place with some good selections. I thought I was getting a small lunch plate but out came a mountain of meats and veggies and rice. Nice place to stop as I traveled home.

If you're looking for Japanese food in this statesville area, this place is hands down the best around. No competition. The food is amazing. Best Japanese around. They have a large and amazing sushi menu and the sushi is great too!I love their teriyaki chicken the most. Their plates are stacked high and it's always way more than you could imagine for the price and the value. I love it and we come here a lot!

Been here a few times now. The food is what you would expect out of a cookie-cutter Japanese restaurant; nothing particularly remarkable about it, but sufficient for what you pay. For what they lack in culinary proficiency, you would think they would make up for in service, but they have little to no sense for serving etiquette.Here, you can expect to dine with company and be served separately, despite ordering at the same time. You can also expect to stay parched, as your server will likely be inattentive and/or eating at the sushi bar between waiting on tables.I am not one to expect much at restaurants, but at this rate we may as well order our food to-go and eat it at home; at least then the food will (hopefully) arrive at the same time.Part of dining out is the experience in itself -- and when that experience is repeatedly a poor one, you would be hard pressed to continue to put yourself through that at a premium.

I wasn't feeling well today and the staff at Sakura always know how to cheer me up!! I started off with the onion soup and then ended with the hibachi shrimp which is my favorite entree. The food is always fresh and cooked to order. I sit at the counter and watch the chef make the sushi. The staff here is the real reason I come back every week. I like to spend money where I am appreciated and the service and food is superb!

Food was great and I loved the Crazy Roll! The only problem with the visit was the time it took for the food to come out. It was not very busy when we were there.That being said, it was still a good experience.

Off to a great start. Excellent SushiSomeone told me about Sakura opening and since I had tried the sister location in Cornelius, I made a point of putting it on my list of places to try.Drove over last week from work on the other side of town to give them a try. Amalfi's used to be in this spot till they moved across the Parking Lot but for reference, they are next door to Old Bob's BBQWalked and was immediately seated. Clean and new with a very comfortable atmosphere.Ordered hot tea and studied the menu while I waited for my tea. Impressive menu and a variety of Hibachi and Tempura Style dishes along with an extensive list of Sushi options.In the end I went with the King Roll.Enjoyed my tea while I waited and checked the news.The King Roll came out shortly and it was beautiful as well as being very good. Good blend of tastes and textures with ginger and wasabi served to compliment.Size was perfect for lunch and I left more than sated.A little hard to find unless you are familiar with Statesville but it's off NC Hwy 115 on the North Side of I-40 in a shopping center on the left about a mile up the road.If you like Sushi, you will like this place.

We ordered dinner from here and it was delicious. We had enough food for four people. We have often visited the one in Gastonia because we lived there.The food was delicious and warm when it got to the house. These guys never disappoint us.

Sushi is always fresh. Everyone is always friendly. The restaurant is always clean and enjoyable atmosphere.

Good sushi! Best in statesville. Japaneses is good. Large menu to choose from. Quick service!

This place should be talked about for their generous portions and amazing sushi. I don't stray from the steak or steak and scallops done teriyaki style so I can't speak on the whole menu, but they are great with huge portions. Always need a take out box. Every sushi dish I have tried has been wonderful. Very attentive staff. They will take good care of you here.
