Best sushi in Valencia County! Always delicious and fresh. Friendly hostesses and attentive waitresses. It doesn't matter how slammed they get, they are up for the challenge.

Extremely average Japanese food that is overpriced. Service was questionable at best. If you have never eaten good Japanese food including sushi, you might be impressed. I suspect most of the positive reviews were either fake, made by the owners or their friends, or were from people who have never experienced good fresh sushi.

My husband and I headed over for lunch, as we walked in we were greeted by a girl saying their wifi was down so they couldn't do "anything". Anything included putting orders in to the kitchen. There is a miraculous invention called the pen and paper, you all should look into it. Seriously? No WiFi shuts down a restaurant??? I have never needed a router to cook myself. What a joke, the lack of common sense gives me pause about eating there again.

As sushi restaurants go, this one isnt that great. But...it's in town and offers a decent selection of sushi. I don't like how everything is covered in sauce. I like my sushi sauceless, I guess. We go here when we don't want to drive to town

I don't recommend going to this spot at all the staff is always rude not very attentive at all. You are constantly having to flag them down to get a refill. The food is ok but the sushi never taste fresh. I have gave this spot a few try's and I am disappointed every time. The ambiance in the dinning area is really nice but when you first walk in it looks like a take out only spot so kind of a turn off. I would rather go into Albuquerque and use the gas to get better quality and service.

Horrible representation of Japanese cuisine. The chicken ramen was poorly prepared using poor quality ingredients. There were only 4 small pieces of chicken, no seasoning, bagged salad mix used in lieu of fresh vegetables, no onions, no scallions. The chicken was not seasoned when warmed. The broth had no flavor of chicken, only that of the starch from the noodles when cooked in it.The poke was poorly prepared. No chopped scallions, very little quantity of ahi tuna, and very poor quality tuna used. For the cost of this appetizer to the amount of "poke" served, I would have been better off not having purchased this item.Ordered the Tiger Eye sushi roll. It arrived an hour after ordering it. By the time I waited to pay for it, drive home, it was another hour. By then, the rice was dried. The sauce used to top each piece of sushi was so bland that I am not sure they even used the right stuff. Sushi was inedible; had to toss.Granted, I went there on Valentine's Day evening, and the place was absolutely packed at 6:05pm when I arrived, but to have only two waitresses, one hostess/cashier is ridiculous. The owner should have been busing tables, as I waited 20 minutes for a table to be cleared, and there were several other tables awaiting busing. The waitressed and hostess were working their asses off and were yet friendly throughout the service, so you can't blame them for my poor experience here. Definitely need to clean the restaurant, retrain the cooks how to properly prepare the foods... and hire a damn busboy.

The sushi was D licious!!! We had the California roll and the Cowboy roll. It was light and filled me up. It wasn't heavy in the tummy. Good stuff!!

My husband and I tried to eat here the other day and we were ignored for 10 minutes. The sushi chefs didn't greet us or tell the waitresses we were there either. We sat down for 5 minutes without them asking our drink order and they didn't notice we had walked out. Will not go again, considering the prices were high as well.

Excellent! Always super fresh! Very fast service excellent dinning experience! We dine once a week!

Not a good first time experience at this restaurant. Grab ragoon was pastry pocket was tough and dry.Had to send back my main course due to it being not properly cooked.
We went to this restaurant in Los Lunas and were not impressed with the food or the service. It was at best, average.

We go to Sakura at least once a month when I just have to have a sushi fix. Hubz loves the Bento boxes and also the tempura.

Sesame chicken. I paid 18.00 for this and broccoli and I also got Hibachi steak and shrimp and received 5 small pieces of steak and 4 shrimp for 24.00. I will not be eating here again. Taste great but very little food and it's pricey.

Consistent high quality and great tasting food! My wife and I have enjoyed everything we've tried at Sakura and we highly recommend this quality eatery!

DELICIOUS! it's not always easy finding good sushi, especially out in the desert. But Sakura is the BOMB!
