We love coming here and always come right when they open at 5pm because this place gets crowded.
We ordered:
-Chicken karaage - juicy thigh meat
-Sukiyaki udon- when I crave for udon, I come here. The broth is so beefy and lots of tender fatty thin meats. It’s so rich in flavors.
-Takoyaki - I like
Amazing find and likely my new favorite spot for Japanese food. I was craving both sashimi and curry, and found this spot to try.
What surprised me was the quaint homely vibe of the place. The opening and closing of the restaurant door honestly transported me to family run Japanese places from when
Izakaya Sakura was real authentic Japanese, and very delicious. If Japanese food your craving please give this restaurant a try. You will not be disappointed. The price it's worth it, the selection of variety of different Japanese food was very impressive but the customer service was the impeccable,
Service is a little slow- not a lot of staff, place is busy. Parking-get there early or else good luck. Food is delicious.
Sakura is definitely a go to spot for some fresh sushi and or hot plates! Sake list is on point with quite a few choices to choose from. What sells me is the welcoming atmosphere from all the workers! Nothing beats a nice welcome with great food and drinks. Quick tip, it is quite hard to find parkin
Been here a couple of times with an old Japanese co worker. The food is pretty basic, standard Japanese food. Nothing fancy. My coworker says it reminds him of home. Interior is very tired, but the prices are competitive and the service is fast and the people are nice. This is a workweek lunch spot,
Edit
The waitresses in the restaurant were very attentive. They servers the real Japanese izakaya food.
Everything we ordered was so tasty but they mixed up the order:( the service could have been better. It’s a bummer cuz their food is so good.
First time here, and I'm a huge a sushi fanatic. I DON'T KNOW HOW I never tried this place, being from San Diego. This spot is LEGIT. Real Japanese vibes, and the food is great. Not to mention, the service is top knotch. It's a lot easier to enjoy your meal when people are super nice to you...
My sister and I sat at the sushi bar for omakase. It was truly one of the best experience. The sushi chefs were very friendly, prepared tons of wonderful and delicious sushi. Every piece was different. The price was great.
My 93 yr old Aunt took me here for lunch on my quick trip to San Diego. She chose Izakaya Sakura because my dad had hosted a family gathering here a few years back. She remembered it was good and thought it would be fun to eat at the sushi bar. It was indeed very fun!
The restaurant isn't very big
Its Ok. Some of them just Average Good. Unstable Employee's Attitude.
Space good. Quite Atmosphere.
Some food so creative. So Interesting place .
Skewers are good choices.
Only You know yourself best. Should come for know exactly.
Plus point for Huge parking, nice Sushi Bar.
Curry is really nice. There are many items wanted to try next time.
True izakaya with really nice people, like you're back in Japan. The only thing I wish they serve is the cucumber appetizer that I love. It was still a really happy experience.
Great atmosphere and immediate welcoming experience. All the waitresses were very patient and understanding. Orders did take a little long but we ordered sets so it was understandable. Would go for their variety of good Japanese sets.
I’ve been here regularly for six or seven years now. Sakura has the widest variety of Japanese food options. My favorite dishes here are the katsu curry, curry udon, uni pasta, yaki udon, miso marinated cod, fish clay pot (I like both red grouper and cod), etc. Nothing I tried here has every disappo
Great place for Japanese food. I come to this place regularly, and have tried a large number of dishes. Some of my favorites are the Chirashi bowl, Okonomiyaki and their Sukiyaki. These dishes take me back to my time traveling through Japan.
Awesome Authentic Japanese Restaurant! Their cuisine reminds us like being in Japan. We found a go-to Japanese restaurant my family will frequent and most strongly recommend. Worth the wait every time.
The sushi was some of the best I have ever consumed. The cold noodles blew my concept of snacking. The miso soup is pleasurable. High regards to the staff that was informative and seemed knowledgeable. Friendly place not cheap but quality food and service
