It was really busy, I wish they had more wait staff. Took us a bit to give our order, but eventually, when we got it, it helped us forget because the sushi was so good. The sitting area is pretty small and it gets packed. The rolls we had tasted super fresh and did not disappoint.

I have gone to the Sakuma restaurant for years when it was owned by the former owners. Today i went to try the new owners and I was really disappointed in just everything i am sorry to say. I ordered sashimi and the pieces were very small and thin. There was also a feeling of the fish being a bit old. The color wasnt right. All in all i am just sad as the former owners worked so hard and now this is what has replaced their integrity.

The sushi and sashimi were incredibly fresh, soft, and delicious! Considering the luxurious taste and freshness of the ingredients, the price was surprisingly affordable! My mom, who loves sushi, also said it was delicious and suggested we come here often!! Best sushi around my neighborhood! Worth the drive down from Lake Stevens!

Would recommend for sushi, but not generally for the other Japanese offerings here. This place is run by Korean folks, and the Japanese flavors in their offerings don't hit just right. I'd much rather recommend heading down south closer to Seattle for authentic Japanese that's not sushi, or if you don't want to drive that far, go to Lynnwood for awesome Korean food. A prime example is the Katsu Curry, which was closer to Korean-style Katsu that Japanese. It wasn't thick enough to be Japanese style, which made the cut awkward and wasn't as tender and juicy as I was hoping for. The fresh/sushi offerings were great though, and I was excited to find a decent sushi spot with reasonable prices up north. The Albacore Tataki and the two other rolls we tried (Spicy Tuna and Crunch Tiger, not pictured) were both delicious and well worth the price for lunch. The service was great and the spot was nice and quiet. Would be back if I'm in the area and craving sushi for lunch.

Recommend by a foodie friend 6 months ago. We go every time we're in the area. Always very good. Worth every penny. Service is perfect!
Awesome customer service, got my food out quickly, and of course DELICIOUS plates. I had the curry udon and a specialty sushi roll and it was A+. Tastes just like it was from Japan.Server and back of house were extremely pleasant and on top of everything.Also fairly priced! I’ll be back. And you should try it!Definitely for a date night!

I was pleasantly surprised by Sakuma. For a restaurant that has been around since 2007, it has a very small footprint. I only became aware of it recently because it was recommended to me. I didn't expect much, but I am moving it into my Rotation Collection. The Beef Curry Udon was very good. The noodles had a good al dente chewiness in an excellent Japanese vegetable curry to which they added sukiyaki cut beef. I would have preferred chunks of beef that were well stewed in the curry, but many restaurants just make the veg and add beef or chicken at the end. The prices are very fair, and the menu has a good variety. The service is very friendly and attentive. The decor is pleasant and kept very clean. A satisfying experience.
