Sakura - Fullerton

Love their spicy ramen and edamame.gets crowded fast so I suggest getting a reservation

Ok Japanese food inside a hotel. I was meeting with two friends and one of them chose a shabu shabu restaurant. They remembered the name wrong and we ended up at Sakura instead. To find it, just walk in straight from the hotel entrance, go through a good, and it will be on the left. They have a Yelp wait-list kiosk right in front and they were pretty busy at 5 pm. The best thing we had were the handrolls and sushi rolls. Great rice ratio, good seaweed, and the all important fish was fresh and good. Loved these Nigiri and handrolls and would come back for them again, 4 stars. Not so successful was the curry my friend got which was lighter in color and not as flavorful as we wanted. It tasted bland and we wish it had that more distinct color and more significant flavor. The shrimp tempura was also battered with tapioca and too chewy.

You are missed but I messed up on the time. I will be back!! This place deserves more love, last time I ate here they gave us an amazing Gyoza to try that we crave and wanted more of this time coming back. So drove over, but the times changed. Whoops! I'll be back. XD Seating is novel and fun inside or outside the separated wall! I liked that we had the choice. The Shoyu Ramen I had ordered here was delicious! Had perfect texture with the noodles, not being too soggy or water logged! The broth was magic on my tongue, salty, meaty, well seasoned umami, and I will soon be making my way back to try that amazing taste again with that yummy salty egg! Only qualm I really had here, was the water being warm with no ice, but that's fine for the one time we came to this location. I highly recommend if you are on the fence to try this place out. Especially if you are looking for a good ramen spot! Hours are always on the change. So make sure to check yelps hours and don't use Googles hours, google is persistently wrong. Have a good one! :D

I found this place on yelp while searching for vegan options in my area. I'm so happy I found it! The vegan ramen and sushi rolls that we had were incredible. Great price for vegan sushi too as they have lunch specials. Staff was friendly and service was quick! Very nice ambiance but please note they will be moving to a new location around 4/3/22 as shown in my photo.

Amazing food quality. Generally my favorite spot anytime. Great ownership. Here weekly
