Yum! - Edit

We’ve been to Sakura many times over the years.
Lovely staff,lots of options and reasonably priced.

Last night we had vegetable tempura, and a selection of different maki/sushi which was all delicious.

The one thing they could improve on is actually marking their vegan options on the menu!

Tempura roll! - Edit

Get the avocado tofu tempura roll! This place has great vegan options- they do have a rotating sushi bar, which I haven't tried so can't vouch for that aspect. They're consistently good- also nice are the seaweed salad and tempura- one of the few places where I've been able to get lotus root! You can also get all sweet potato tempura, so I am a huge fan 😂

Relenting - Edit

Alright, have relented from an earlier, much less positive review. Partner wanted to eat here, and I'm glad I gave it another shot.

Ate some cucumber maki and had an udon noodle bowl. Both not bad.
Place very popular with Chinese people. Not strong tasting and no messing with fish sauce this time, the ranen was heaving with peppers, mushrooms and the usual veg you get at Chinese restaurants plus whole cloves of garlic!

Not bad, a filling meal and a reasonable cost. This is a big improvement from my last visit.

So glad I came here! - Edit

Never been to a Japanese or sushi bar because I generally don't like sushi, but the fried avocado and tofu tempura was much tastier than the normal sushi and the vegetable ramen noodles were really good too!!!

Great late night sushi - Edit

We always pop into Sakura around 9:30-10pm and are greeted by their friendly staff for a take out order. The avocado, cucumber rolls are delicious as is the tofu. The food always comes out super quick and the prices are very reasonable. But heads-up for vegans: I asked about the tempura batter and was told is has egg in it!

If in the Queens area, check out Sakura for all your Asian fusion and sushi needs!
