Sakura Sushi & Grill: Reviews & Ratings
Really solid, great sushi. We got the sushi deluxe and sashimi deluxe. Presentation was very cute. The waiter dropped one piece of sushi and replaced it with a whole new sushi roll.
Some of the best sushi I have ever eaten. Service was super friendly and fast! We had our food in less than 15 minutes.
Made a quick stop here prior to leaving from Hilo airport since it’s only a few minutes away. Really surprised with food quality and the excellent friendly and speedy service. Everything was fresh and delicious. Will be back on our next trip!
Visited from Texas. Wonderful place. Food was awesome. Server was really good and quick on refills.
Very busy at 7pm on a Thursday. Didn't take more then 5 mins to be seated. Service was very polite and fast. Fuji Mountain Roll and Okinawa Roll tasted great with fresh ingredients and right temperatures for Tempura. Shumai (Shrimp Dumpling) looked like tater tots but tasted great with good crunchy exterior and soft hot insides. 5 Piece Sashima was average size pieces of good quality and 5 different fish. Very clean very fresh tasting with great texture. Overall great experience and well come back.
Fast and excellent service! The food came out quick and was delicious. The rolls were flavorful and filling, large servings, and excellent presentation. Make sure you add cream cheese, it added so much more flavor to our rolls!
We went for Mother's Day lunch and it was super busy. The staff was working hard to clear and reset tables. One staff accidentally dropped dishes that slightly splashed on me while we were waiting, no big deal...they apologized and cleaned up.... To our pleasant surprise once we were seated, we were brought complimentary sushi appetizer that was amazing and they comped our beverages. Staff was so friendly and attentive and the food was delicious!!!
Fast and very friendly service! Excellent sushi/sashimi. The sushi rice was A! Thick cuts of fish and tasted very fresh. Everything was great! Very reasonably priced too! A little noisy. Just need to turn up the music!
