Reviews for Sakura Sushi and Grill in Chesapeake, VA

Let's start with the good 1st. The food was excellent! I got the Sushi & Sashimi bento and it was delicious, well portioned, and... well prepared. The salad had a bit too much dressing on it (the lettuce was swimming for both mine and my wife's), but stillgood. The Sashimi cuts were thick and flavorful. Spring rolls were hot and served placed in the dipping sauce. I would'vepreferred the sauce on the side because they did get soggy. The sushi was prepared nicely and tasted just as good. My wifeordered the 3 roll lunch and she enjoyed all of them and ended up taking a pieces home. Neither of us could finish it all. Wealso had crab rangoons which they forgot to make them so we had to remind them and they came fresh out the grease and weredelicious. The complimentary pineapple slushies were a nice treat as well. Overall it was a decent experience. The only issueswere the waitress had to be called to refill our drinks and then again to come and get the check. They have some little issuesto fix to improve the ambiance such as ceiling tiles damaged and LED lighting hanging off the bar. The dim yellowish lightingwas kind of a damper to the mood but maybe just my preference. I would go again to try the hibachi and further evaluate. Goodfood this go around tho! Read more

My husband and I stopped in to try Sakura today for the first time, and we had a great experience. We were seated promptly and... our server was very friendly and attentive. She started us with complimentary pineapple smoothies and a delicious cucumbersalad. My husband got the steak and chicken hibachi, and I got the 3 roll lunch special. My husband's came with soup, and minecame with a salad with awesome ginger dressing. The food was delicious, and we couldn't believe how fast it was made. At the endof our meal they even gave us a complimentary volcano roll. For all of the food we received our bill was only $31, that's superreasonable for today's standards. We will absolutely be back!

Most of a rating for a restaurant is the quality of food. Sakura is not lacking in their quality of food at all. All food came... in a timely manner and was the appropriate temperature. They have beautifully stylized plates with tea lights and flowers. Thedecorations for the food are great. Feels like a high class restaurant. We were even given free pineapple smoothies by themanager. I have two issues, one is the prices are higher than I typically spend for sushi with my daughter. Quite literally 3times the price. Typically it's $17+tip where we go and that place is amazing. Here we spent $53+tip. To be fair my daughter isfree at the other restaurant. While I understand Sunday evening may not be the busiest of times for sushi, my second issue wasthat the staff was not the most attentive. After my daughter finished 2 salmon rolls it took an additional 10 minutes toactually have someone check on us so she could order a 3rd roll. The speed that it came was fine, but not a glance in ourdirection for over 10 minutes when it isn't too busy was frustrating. My 5 year old actually yelled at one after she grewimpatient. Finally when trying to get the check, it was again difficult to find someone, and once I asked for it, it took 15minutes to come to the table. I saw the waitress I asked come out 6 times and service a table near us with a party of 4.Ultimately another waitress brought it to me. Now I want to stress that the food was top notch! But the service, which is partof the experience was not where it needs to be. My daughter did say she really liked the food here and wants to come again.Especially considering the other restaurant is quite a bit further away than this one. Read more

Honestly, hands-down the best experience, customer service and sushi I've had in Hampton Roads. Every single employee who... attended us was very kind, pleasant and courteous. We love this place and will be coming back!! Thank you all so much!! ? Read more

Our favorite place for a date night. Can?t wait to come back and try their new appetizers. We got the deep fried oysters last... time, it?s so big and fresh, the chicken on the sticks with the special sauce makes it different too. Friendly owner and staffs,thank you for tasty food n best services! Read more

We love this Sakura Sushi restaurant! First of all, the location is 5mins from where we live. Once you try, you can?t deny that... the food quality is so good (fair price for the sushi in comparison with everywhere?s else) , plus they often offer new items intheir menu, never feel boring with the same taste of food here. Whenever you sit down, the waitress will bring you a free smallcucumber salad and a pineapple ???? smoothie ????. One more thing I give them 5* because they seems to be the only who stayopen(dine-in) late. Highly recommended!!! Read more

Order sushi and fried rice, everything tasted pretty good and made fresh. Only complaint is the tempura was soggy on the inside... of the sushi more than usual there wasn't a crispness to it. Would come back tho Read more
