Sakura - Livingston

Overall, Sakura is a solid choice, though not exceptional. It's definitely the best option for Asian cuisine in Livingston. The food is quite good, and the portion sizes are reasonable for the price. The staff is friendly and attentive, even during busy times. My only issue is that they serve their tempura dipping sauce ice cold, which makes the otherwise excellent tempura taste overly greasy.

When we got our order, the packaging was a mess. Although they included some sauces in a bag to prevent spills, they neglected to bag five of them, which caused them to leak all over our food. It’s baffling that they package hot items alongside cold sushi. When I called to address the issue, the staff was exceptionally rude. Whenever I've inquired about the delays, I've been told it was due to one of the cooks quitting. Spending $89 on such poor quality food and service, along with receiving a small amount of food, is absolutely unacceptable. We likely won't return.

The air conditioning struggled to keep up with the heat, making it quite warm inside. However, the food was good, although it could have been a bit more tender. The waitstaff were very friendly. Overall, I would rate the food a 4 out of 5.

I 've eaten here many times....The food is okay but the service keeps getting worse and worse. Tonight takes the cake (or the sushi lol). I ordered three things...1 appetizer and 2 rolls (for two people). One roll comes out before the appetizer, but okay, no problem, I can deal with that. The 2nd roll never comes. The waitress is nowhere to be seen. I inquire....no..the order has not been placed. The waitress comes around with the bill...I try to talk to her about what we ordered...She firmly states you did not ....I tell her I did then she says.... that 's your opinion ... Yep she did. Rude. We try to talk to someone about what happened...Suddenly.... no one can speak English. I won 't go back. EVER.

The food was wonderful! The service was great! The place was small which was a little uncomfortable but there are not many choices of location in such a small town. I definitely recommend this as a great place to stop for a great meal.Food: 5/5
