Sakura Sushi Japanese Restaurant

First time try Sakura at 1550 Kingston Rd #3, Pickering and very disappointed with their service attitude. I have ordered shuhi and sashimi maki party tray the website showed price is 22 and when I order in the restaurant they said was 25 the price is updated on website. Today I have checked again the price also is22 I took picture can be provided. The point is not the price just 3 dollars but disappointing the cashier lady and the man stand beside her very very bad attitude . When I said Happy new year to him. He didn’t even say anything and he showed back face to me.

Great food. Sushi was fresh and the sizes were great. Must try the kimchi fried rice. It was spicy but we enjoyed it. Nice hidden gem tucked away in Pickering. However I feel like they can improve service. They ask you to come up to the counter to order, even though you are dinning in for dinner. They also ask if you want to pay after ordering, what if the customer wants to order more after. I feel like they can improve as a business in that aspect.

Called for pick up dinner and was told it would be ready in 30mins , i ordered an avocado roll, dynamite & yamAvocado hand roll . I wanted to cancel cause it was to long of a wait for such basic items but they said it would be ready in 10 mins to avoid cancellation. I woke up in the middle of the night with food poisoning. And I realized the last time I ordered from here I also got sick but didn’t think anything of it because I trusted them but now I’m convinced that I won’t be returning. I am someone that like to support small owned businesses and Sakura use to be my favourite go to Sushi Bar. However the past few times I went here was very unpleasant.

The best sushi in Durham region! The ingredients are fresh and well priced for what you get. My favourite is the spicy salmon and Sakura roll. The staff is lovely and provides exceptional service.

First and only time we will visit this place. The restaurant is take out only. Staff are friendly. the ceiling is leaking and there are water stains on the ceiling tiles. I couldn't see into the kitchen but there could be leaking there. We bought two Bento box a, chicken teriyaki and tofu. The food smelled great on the ride home but once we started eating it it was awful. Teriyaki sauce was extremely salty making the food inedible. Teriyaki was mostly cabbage, the cheapest thing you could get. I counted seven tiny cubes of tofu. Broccoli was cut in thin pieces and burnt. Tempura was so greasy. Best part was the California rolls.

I used to love this place. It was one of the more authentic sushi Japanese places I could find in the Durham area until Covid happened. About a month ago I went in there, thinking I was going to sit down like before and eat dinner with my family to my surprise now they treat it as a takeout spot, today I ordered the Bento box with an order of kimchi, and the kimchi is not by any means authentic at all whatsoever. All it was was hard cut up cabbage that looks like coleslaw and chilli powder. You can always tell by the kimchi, how authentic it is going to be. I am not impressed and probably will not order from here again. For the Bento box and a small order of kimchi it came out to be about $45 with delivery way too overpriced for your hard earned cash.

It was dead/empty when we got here for dinner. I've always wanted to try this place as I keep seeing it whenever i pass by Kingston. The ambiance is great, it's trying to give off that authentic Japanese vibe. This is not a buffet. This is not an all-you-can-eat sushi place. They offer ala-carte instead. But their servings are quite big. I ordered their Japanese Curry. It really liked it, but I couldn't get myself to finish it as it was A LOT. It is, in fact, good to share between 2 persons. The staffs were very attentive and kept checking on us. They have a lady sushi chef and I really thought that was awesome! :) The price is okay considering the amount of food they serve. The rice they use for sushi is of high quality. I highly recommend trying this place. :D

Great service and the quality of sushi is amazing! After trying this place we will never set foot in the local all you can eat sushi places. This place makes each piece with care and the owner and server come check on you. Prices are also very good. We ordered a boat of sushi + sushimi. Highly recommend it if your in Durham area!
