Sakura Japanese Sushi - Marietta

Ordered shrimp hibachi and steak and shrimp hibachi both with rice(yummy! Only rice&fried eggs. You may have to add other ingredients at the time of your order???????? . Also had the deep-fried California roll. To in which I was not impressed.. It was the tempura mix that I didn't like to be exact. Other than that everything was ????

We love this place! After moving nearby about a year ago, we discovered friends had been driving 20 30 minutes for almost a decade to eat at Sakura passing several sushi restaurants along the way. Ask Tim, the chef owner, if you don?t know what to order! The sushi is fresh and delicious. Tim chooses the best and posts a list of daily specials on the white board. Watch him erase one by one as he and three other chefs fill order after order on a busy Friday night(beautifully plated takeout lining the counter). We had the unfortunate experience of observing three guests at a table threaten bad reviews if they had to pay for their meal last night (leaving the owner?s sweet daughter serving them intears). They?d seemingly thoroughly enjoyed the wine and rolls all evening until the check arrived then complained about wait time ?you didn?t even have to cook anything.? Please carefully consider any bad reviews. This is not fastfood, but it?s worth every cent and an experience to be savored slowly roll by roll, piece by piece. Take a tip from locals who just order piles of takeout when tables are full from a chef who greets them by name.

Fantastic, sushi restaurant! Small and clean with friendly service, fresh fish and creative creations! Chef Tim creates fresh ideas for an age-old art. My mouth is watering just thinking about them!

I?m surprised this restaurant has so many good reviews because the food is very average. I got the green ginger) salad $4.5), Hawaiian ahi poke $14) and Bangkok paradise $18) as a pickup order, which was way overpriced for taste. The green salad barely contained any carrots or red cabbage and mostly consisted of overly ripened romaine lettuce. The salad dressing was very watery and lacked flavor as well. The Hawaiian ahi poke was the best tasting item out of my order.It was indeed fresh and would?ve tasted excellent with a little more salt. My least favorite item, out of those I ordered, was the Bangkok paradise hand roll. The Bangkok paradise roll is described as spicy tuna mixed with basil leaves andcucumber, however it tastes like pickled cucumbers in mayonnaise. It was difficult to taste any spicy tuna. Overall, the flavors of the roll did not balance well, which made it difficult to eat. The roll would?ve have tasted excellent hadit consisted of tuna and cucumbers tossed in chili sauce, sea salt, basil leaves with a hint of mayo and lemon juice to lessen the heat of the chili flakes. The food seemed fresher but just lacking in flavor. And the cost was way too highfor the proportions and taste. I felt like my order could?ve come from a mediocre grocery store at best. Maybe other items on the menu are more representative if the restaurant but I will not be ordering again in the future to find out. Idon?t recommend this to patrons wanting an authentic sushi experience.

We ordered tuna Sashimi the large order for $16, they apparently were out of it and substituted a different tuna and charged us $22 we complained, and they were very arrogant and asked us not to come back. A very poor way to do business, would not recommend going to this restaurant, with the way the management handled this issue.
