Reviews for Sakura Japanese Restaurant - East Memphis in Memphis, TN

One of my favorite lunch spots. I had the Pork Tonkatsu lunch which is a great value. You get soup and salad and then the... Tonkatsu plate which includes the perfectly fried pork, rice, Cole slaw, pickles, broccoli, a slice of apple and orange and ofcourse the Tonkatsu sauce. The service is fast and friendly. That also have great Sushi lunch specials. Read more

Food was great. Biggest down fall was parties of 5 or more 18% gratuity. I am fine with that but they counted the 1 year old... baby as our 6 and we did not expect the 17 dollar tip. So if you have kids they will be counted as adults here. Read more

Excellent service and delicious food. Will definitely return

Love the Sakura roll. The bento lunch box with salmon is always a great choice. The ginger dressing is phenomenal. Service... great, clean beautiful ambiance love it! Read more

I found Sakura around 10 years ago and to date no sushi compares. Before Sakura I tried damn near every place from midtown to... Cordova. I moved in 2013 and I can't even buy sushi because the flavor combinations pale in comparison. Every time I come intown I go to Sakura at least once to get a Joyce roll and a Mother roll. DIVINE! If I lived within two and a half hours I'dabsolutely drive to get it. Best sushi in Memphis, hands down!! Read more

Wonderful, peaceful, and fun place to eat. The chef tried his best to make the kids smile and have fun too especially our... youngest. Amazing food and fair priced for dinner and a show. Hard not to get full on the soup and salad alone but they makesure to fill your entire plates I just wish I had taken a picture of the dinner plate and a video of all his spiffy tricks. Read more

Really good sushi and friendly staff! I?ve been here 3 times in the last two weeks and there sushi and customer service keeps me... coming back. The Big Time sushi roll is my favorite and the whole fried soft shell crab is really good! Read more

So this place is fanastic. We went here after the cherry blossom festival at the botanical garden's food trucks ran out of food... (lame). We started of with spirits, we had the hana awaka sake, it was sweet, smooth, and chilled. It didn't taste like alcoholat all (7%). I also had the Santory whisky, it had a powerful whisky flavor with a much smoother sensations and only a bit ofwarmth when it gets to the stomach. Next we had appetizers, tempura chicken meal came with a house salad and soup, i paidadditional for the seafood soup and it did not disappoint. I highly recommend the salad with the ginger dressing its sweet andnot overpowering. We also had gyoza and yakitori both were very good but the yakitori won out. Our main courses arrived and hadwonderful presentation. My tempura chicken with fried veggies was a little underwhelming but it isn't something I normally orderin the first place. My wife's ramen was delicious and was more food than she could handle. For dessert the waitress brought usthe menu where we picked strawberry icecream with lychee jelly. It was more or less like boba. The flavor was spot on though itwas like concentrated lychee. All in all i give it 5/5 hands down. Read more
