Sakura Express Japanese — Restaurant in Bristol

We come here at least once a week and get the orange chicken or the sesame chicken, which comes with an egg roll, rice, and carrots. I sometimes substitute my carrots for broccoli just to change it up. Their vegetables are always cooked to perfection. We've been going for a few years now and they are pretty consistent. I've gave them the benefit of three doubt a few times because depending on what time of the night you get there, their line can be to the road. It's that good though. They are always super nice and I've never gotten cold or luke warm food, it's always fresh. Their egg rolls are my addiction, getting extra egg rolls with my order is a must. Their portions are much more than generous. I highly recommend giving them a try to get your Japanese fix. Don't forget the Yum!Yum! sauce. Also, they only do drive through now, ever since the pandemic. I really miss going inside because it was really cool to watch them cook the food but it won't stop...

First of all Sakura is supposed to be dine in; out of town truck driver here and it’s drive thru I ask if I could just order inside when I walked in a woman approached me and said I had to walk to the window at drive thru…wow okay:/ next I notice that there are mixed ethnicities working here and I get it it’s 2025 I’m all about diverse but if I go to a Japanese restaurant I want someone who’s from around that area to cook my food that’s like going to a Jamaican restaurant and a Hispanic lady cooking the rice it just looses it’s authenticity all and all very unpleasant experience and for this to be called a JAPANESE STEAK HOUSE it sure as hell is a run down rinky dink bootleg red flag run and save your money go a couple blocks down to wesebi Japan same idea...

My husband and I are long time lovers of Sakura. This week we had such a wonderful experience I needed to leave a review. I asked for hot sauce or Sriracha with my lo mein and the lady at the drive thru said they were out and wouldn't have any until their truck ran. She offered some other sauces but I said it's fine. We pulled in to a parking spot to eat and the drive thru server came running out. She brought us some sort of homemade tasting hot sauce that she had and offered for us to have it. It was some of the best hot sauce we have ever had. She was so kind and definitely did not have to bring us anything but she went above and beyond. Now I'm going to be asking for that mysterious delicious hot sauce...
