Sakura Japanese Restaurant

I've been coming to this place my entire life, and even now I think they have some of the best sushi money can buy in Miami. A genuine neighborhood gem. The owner and chef have known me by name for the last 30+ years I've been visiting. Don't settle for the other sushi chains, get the real deal for a good price at a locally owned spot. You won't be disappointed.

Old traditional Japanese restaurant. Walking in there made me feel in Japan for a few minutes. Small place, quite popular and it seems to be hidden since I never heard about it, is mostly known by locals who have lived nearby for many years. The food was very good, the miso soup was tasty, the rolls were excellent and the sashimi super fresh. I will come back, nice place and the prices are very good. One of the waitress seemed a bit pushy at the beginning but she ended up being very nice and hospitable

Best 🍣 in Miami! Period. Full stop. This is as fresh as it comes without catching it yourself. Absolutely my all time favorite sushi restaurant. The service is terrific, too. The only downside is the size of the restaurant and the fact that they don't take reservations. The restaurant only has about 12 tables, many for two people, as well as a sushi bar you can sit at. If you end up waiting, stick it out. You'll be happy you did. My favorite dish is their Chirashi Tokyo. It's a bowl plentiful with sashimi on top of white rice.

Sakura was excellent. Very tiny restaurant .... maybe like 5 or six tables. With a specials board and a rather large menu this restaurant packs a lot of flavor. After reading some other reviews for this restaurant I had a few things I wanted to try. Number one being the Enoki mushrooms... WOW.. they were the best!!! I can see why people said dont eat with your eyes. Maybe not the best looking mushrooms but flavor wise.... The Best. This alone will make me come back to Sakura. Also nice but a bit small was the Larry roll (rice less). But we ordered a few other things to make up for it. The Sakura mix plate brings sushi, sashimi, California roll and a thinly sliced fish in like a ponzu sauce that was also good. Ginger salad, clear soup, edamame and miso soup very standard preparations. All very good and service was excellent. Definitely a good place to come for sushi. I hear their cooked meals are also notable.

We stopped by this cute little Japanese restaurant after a long day. The sashimi was fresh and delicious, but the rest of the dishes we had were just ok. The tempura had too much batter, the sushi roll had too much rice. However, the prices are very reasonable. You can get 2 sushi rolls for the price of one sushi roll in Brickell. Service was friendly too.

Love this place, sushi is always delicious, friendly staff and very good prices. Interesting that all the Sakura restaurants are independent so don't make the mistake thinking the menu is the same at all of them. This one is probably the best in my opinion, hot towel for your hands when you arrive, food is freshly prepared and some of the best sushi around.
