“Stopped in for lunch on a cold afternoon and the beef ramen really hit the spot. Lots of spice, meat was tender and flavorful.My wife ordered sushi which was OK, but not super fresh. We also split shishitos which were delicious and we split an order of fried rice that was amazing.Service was friendly, but a bit slow. As others have mentioned the atmosphere isn’t bad, just “off”.Will definitely be back.“
“Very cool little restaurant (I do mean little, during winter when there isn't outdoor seating there are six tables). Extremely good ramen, apps and sides are excellent too. I recommend the Spicy Miso Ramen and Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen.“
“I really enjoyed dinner at Sakura. I've been in Las Vegas for 27 years and the sushi experience is a little different but every plate that arrived was full of flavor and the service was top notch. Really friendly staff and owner. Was a little dismayed at the amount of times I saw the words "imitation crab" on the menu and would have really wanted to try those dishes otherwise but the lobster was great and all the fresh fish was very fresh, not fishy. Little oyster shooter with the quail egg went down well. Overall high marks.“
“Good strip mall Sushi. In something of a reversal of expectations, the fish was excellent, although only adequately prepared and served. High prices make this a tough recommendation when there are options nearby that get the intangibles right at a similar price point.Service was ok, but not great. We ordered a gluttonous amount of sushi, they decided to serve it in 2 rounds but probably should've served it in 3 rounds as our appetizers came quickly yet the first sushi round took over 30 minutes to arrive, which is too long. The server didn't ask to refill drinks until after the first round of sushi. With more care, they could've balanced out the arrival of our food to reduce "dead time" at the table. To be fair, they only had 1 waiter working and about 5 or 6 active tables, so the waiter was pretty busy.The nigiri was well done and mostly excellent. Specifically the red snapper and yellowtail were superb. Red snapper was firm with some toothsome snap to it. The ahi was also very good, not mushy nor metallic (common Colorado flaws with tuna). The salmon was slightly less great, still very good, but a half-step back from their other fish.Where they lose a star is for their freshwater eel (unagi). It was cold and uniform in texture. Ideally the unagi should be fresh cooked with some crispy bits around the edges by a torch or searing station.The rolls were OK but nothing special. Nice quality of avocado but they were overfilled with cucumber and carrot and had tiny amounts of fish.The restaurant's choice of soy sauce is unfortunate as it is very one-note and too salty. They should at least use low sodium soy by default and if possible switch suppliers.Finally, a subjective issue -- their wasabi was too mild for my palate, perhaps this was an attempt to mimic 'real' Japanese wasabi, but most western sushi restaurants use the spicy horseradish wasabi which I am used to and prefer for mainstream sushi.“
“Went there with my friend for her Birthday, We live in Ft Collins and Berthoud, We wanted to eat somewhere different since we wanted to spend the day in Longmont. Man, That food was so delicious. The guy that took our order (Jerry) and helped us because my friend has many dietary restrictions, he was so patient and gave her many options she could choose, What a great lunch, We will be back. Top notch Service and Food. Will be back....SOON“
“Awesome place! Owners and staff go above and beyond, and absolutely fits the bill for a neighborhood hangout. Prices are very fair for the portions - rolls are thicc and sashimi/nigiri are two bite pieces. Lunch specials are awesome as well, the rice bowls are a killer deal and cheaper than a lot of fast food options these days.Last visit we ordered gyoza, two orders of nigiri, two rolls, and hot tea and walked out stuffed with amazing food and vibes for around $40 a person, including tip.If you made it this far in the review then make sure to request a pot of their house hot tea - best in the state!Thank you Sushi Box for being good neighbors - looking forward to the next visit.“
