The best sushi and sashimi establishment in Indiana. So good. Best service we Eve had on our last visit. Legitimately, it is inexpensive for the quality and the portions. A must visit!

I asked for a special platter and got this medium party platter. It had all I requested and required. It was the center of attention for the whole evening. It was freshly made and tasted delicious! Would definitely do it again.

As a sushi connoisseur, Sakura has not only been the best sushi in Indianapolis, but possibly within the state. It takes a lot for me to write a review, but after being a patron that would argue in the defense of the average California Roll enthusiast.. I have to fully pull back my endorsement after my last visit. Sakura *historically* has been the #1 spot for good & quality rolls. For reference, we spent ~$100 for this service.We made reservations in advance 2-3+ days in advance as I was returning with my fiancé from North Carolina to meet with my family here for a celebratory dinner. Sakura for both me as a prior local, and my parents due to their heritage over the years, has been a place which everyone I knew held in high regard as the #1 sushi restaurant in the entirety of Indiana.I hate to write this review, but I no longer hold this respect for this establishment. We made it abundantly clear how much this visit meant to us. As this family has made multiple trips to Japan directly - Sakura has always been the location to experience the same quality of food for the last two decades. I can no longer feel the same.We waited for two hours to receive our food after 20 min of waiting to be seated for our reservations. This was a busy evening, but after 3 attempts to determine status of our order - we gave up and elected to just take our food to go.We offered to pay for our meal, despite our experience, as we have had an enormous amount of respect for this establishment. And writing this review - we will never be returning and I am embarrassed to have put the effort into this as I have.After waiting two hours for our food, we asked to just have our meals prepped to go and pay for our meal promptly. We had a 20% upcharge not communicated to us prior for a petty of five, with a discount provided for our hassles to only negate this.I have gone from someone who has chosen to have the #1 meal they could pick at Sakura, to someone who feels directly insulted after speaking to the manager after our experience nearly in tears, to just be told “sorry for the hassle”.Thank you, Sakura, as you have turned a lifelong advocate to someone who won’t be returning. I understand things can become busy, but when you pay zero value to customers that respect this establishment for the #1 location to celebrate their engagement - I fail to see any amount of customer respect being provided anymore.Here is to the glory days of Sakura adorned with dated signed complimentary postings across your walls. Thank you for providing the insightful experience you did for my family of patrons that valued your establishment across all sushi restaurants from Indy to a 9 hr road trip to experience.I hope experiences for others vary, though I would no longer allow Sakura the benefit of quality that they have had before

My husband and i always love this placeWe like to go there and recommend to our friends.People who works there are kind and
I take it back. I've been waiting for one California roll for over an hour. Food just came and it's the worst California roll I've eaten here since I first started coming many many years ago Ridiculous. My roll was cold, as if it was pre-made and refrigerated. This is the second time this has happened My husband's was different, rice was room temp. Who is managing this place???

Arrived at 5:15, our server took our order and dropped our drinks.They didn't' touch our table again until 6:45. Sat without drinks for about 45 minutes. We watched multiple other tables that came in after us get sat, served, and turned before anyone came back. Bummer to drop almost $100 to be ignored for almost an hour and a half.We both have been going here for more than a decade as a great date night, but probably not any more.
Lovely all around

Service is slow and the server was clearly demanding for additional tip. Would not recommend this place. It’s a shame because the food was great.
