Sakura — Restaurant in McKeesport

We've just moved to this state from a location where the sushi was really suffering. Having live all over the country and coastal area, I've had really good sushi. I was hopeful about the review about Sakura that the food would be good, I was not expecting the quality we received. I have a very picky eater while my other one loves Japanese food and sushi. For my youngest, it can be a hit or miss when it comes to eating out. But sometimes, she will eat some fried rice. Let me tell you friend, she ate the whole bowl eagerly. I ordered the Tuna Tataki to share with my oldest, a California roll for her, a spicy tuna roll for myself, and unagi sashimi for myself. We LOVED the Tuna Tataki! The tuna was so meaty and fresh. The spicy tuna roll was probably the best I have had since living on the coast. It was delicious. The unagi, that's really a make or break for me, but ...this unagi was perfect and so delicious. Perfectly temped and glazed. Our plates are empty. Our bellies are full. My wallet is not hurting. And my kids are happy so I'm very happy. This will be our new to go sushi place in the area. We loved Sakura. The staff was accommodating and kind. The service was fast but did not affect quality. The indoor eating was clean, simple, and to the point. No decor but that doesn't add or subtract from the chill no frills ambiance of the store front. We will definitely be finding in again or picking up...

This place is 3 miles from my house and I had no idea it existed before today! Yum!! Definitely will be back.

I ordered the general tso's chicken bento box and the pick-3 sushi rolls (spicy tuna, philly, avocado). Both came with miso soup and a salad with ginger dressing. I paid about $33 including tip; it was a very generous amount of food for the price. I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful everything was. The miso soup was solid, maybe slightly too salty for my taste but had a good amount of seaweed and tofu. The salad was outstanding; the ginger dressing is probably my favorite that I've ever had. The rice was perfectly cooked. The general tso's chicken had a tasty sauce and was crunchy, I wish there was more broccoli included. All the vegetables were very fresh aside from the cucumbers. The sushi rolls were all tasty and a really good deal for the price. The service was great and the person who gave me my order was friendly. The atmosphere inside the store is nothing special; I could see this being a great place to get lunch or dinner with better ambience in the store. But regardless, this is a great choice for delivery/pickup orders at...

Place was clean and the staff was friendly. My order was timely. The General Tso was very very dry and hard to chew. The sauce was slightly sweet but flavorless. (Weird) looks like white meat inside instead of thighs that is usually used but idk Also I up charged for fried rice instead of white which I received only brown rice again no flavor at all just light oil or something on it no veggies, egg, onion etc… or nothing else just brown rice. The wonton soup was pretty ok. Ordered 5-29 after a 10.5 shift and very disappointed it was not edible. I heard such good things about this place. Hope this is an isolated incident and others will continue to enjoy. It was...
