Sakura Japanese & Sushi on Stratford Road

Having just delivered my son at the hospital, we celebrated over sashimi at Forysth Medical. I had been CRAVING some for the past 9 months that it was such a big deal to me to get my hands on some immediately.

My husband originally ordered from Umi for the birth of our first child two years ago and decided to try Sakura this time, which was significantly less expensive. We weren't disappointed.

The sashimi tray provided quality cuts of thickly sliced, most delicious fish. I was surprised that I actually felt full when I finished! And compared to other sashimi plates in the area, as I've tried many, Sakura has been the best bang for the buck. I ended up ordering twice before leaving the hospital for our one-night stay!

My husband had great things to say about their chicken katsu and sushi as well and I'll take his word for it. Having been in tow for all my postpartum food craving catch-ups, he's had his fill as well.

Just an FYI, their dining space is closed due to COVID, but their drive-thru in the back is open for pick-ups. I appreciate that they're working to keep their staff and customers safe in this way, especially since they're dealing with raw food like sashimi that I'd want to stay as clean as possible considering.
