Sakura Japanese restaurant — Restaurant in New York

This is my family's go to spot for sushi. We like sushi and eat it a lot so we've tried all the spots on Avenue U. Sakura is by far the superior to them all.

The Food: Delicious, fresh and large selection. Don't like sushi? They have a ton of beef, chicken, fish, shrimp and other seafood platters and dishes. I recommend the BBQ Squid which comes grilled and tender with a dish of delicious gooey sauce which I would drink if I could. Fried calamari is also good, but filling watch out, save room for sushi. They're appetizers are fun to explore, these are mostly small so ask how many your table will need. I would highly recommend eating in the restaurant as this type of food needs to be enjoyed right as it leaves the kitchen.

The staff: Super friendly and accommodating. No matter what your request is they will promptly rush to make you comfortable. Extra ginger/wasabi for the sushi? No problem. Hot tea? Refill? No problem. They always smile and carry themselves professionally. We always get a barrage of goodbye's from the staff and kitchen as we leave the restaurant.

Price: For sushi this place is not expensive. It's Brooklyn prices. In Manhattan you'd get half the amount of food for double the price. We often have large parties of 8-10 here and the bill usually comes out to around $350-450. For 10 people that's about $45 per person.

Have been coming here for probably 5 years now, won't stop any...

My spouse and I are 'regulars' because It's close to home, but it terms of quality, the food is pretty close to authentic Japanese food, and that is an additional draw. Sakura has a sushi bar with fresh and tasty seafood choices, but they also serve a variety of non-seafood dishes. The 'bento box' meals are a great deal, complete with soup, small salad, shumai, a six-piece California roll, and the main entree, which can be tempura, chicken or pork cutlets, teriyaki, or some other choice. The service is usually eager and friendly, and the food is delivered quickly. For Japanese restaurants, the prices are...

The restaurant is located in the Sheepshead Bay/Homecrest section of Brooklyn. They prepare Japanese cuisine. I ordered the sushi bento box and the sashimi bento box. Both bento boxes were very good. The bento boxes included miso soup and salad with a choice of white rice or brown rice. The sushi box has four pieces of sushi and the sashimi box has five pieces of sashimi including one shrimp. The eel avocado roll was good. The restaurant is priced well. They also offer dining in with a server. Parking is easily available with an adjacent...
