Staff was pleasant, mask policies were being followed. Prices are fair. Its definitely fresher than what you would get at the store. The hawaii roll was a bit inconsistent, but had some great flavor.
Great lunch options. Large sushi menu. Pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff.
We had a lovely experience tonight! Our surver Jack was AMAZING! As was the manager she was super friendly and kind. Our food came quickly and was beautifully put together We definitely recommend going. They have so many options that you can go back several times and try somthing new.
Top notch sushi! Always leave full, but its not heavy. I love that you can order any roll and have it rolled in soy paper for those that dont care for seaweed.
Your staff is great. Manager Shannon came over to my table to check on us. That was very nice of her. Shes a great manager.
This was a memorable dining experience. The staff was friendly and attentive. The chefs are highly skilled. Everything was fresh and the flavors were lovely. The waiter even warmed the sake flight for us. I wouldnt order the salad, it was Americanized and detracts from the meal. Everything else was perfect.I will definitely be eating here again...and again...
Got the teriyaki steak dinner bento box :) it was so good!
This was my first time in Battle Creek and I love to eat sushi. I googled sushi and this location was the best choice I made. The staff service was very friendly and attentive. The sashimi was brilliantly cut and served. They also have local brews that were great. I will be traveling here more often and can’t wait to come back.
Best sushi in the area. I have been here over 20 times and never had a bad roll. Good service and always seating available. Prices are very reasonable and they have some incredible specialty rolls. Cant recommend enough!
Ask for Tori, an efficent,knowledgeable server...try the 2 heart special, sweet potato with Eel sauce...and the Michigan roll..soooo good.!!.you would rather have it than any traditional holiday fare..we did
Friendly and knowledgeable staff beautiful food I will be back
Good selection of menu items. Had lunch here twice, both times wait staff were great. Meals were prepared great but I wasnt impressed by my first lunch selection. The Beef Negimaki Bento Box didnt have a lot of taste, the preparation was good just not something I would ever order again. I dont live in BC so this is the first time Ive eaten here and will eat here again before I leave and more than likely stop in for a bite if Im ever in town again.
Oh how I love it here. Doesnt matter what I get. Some of the sushi here seems to melt in your mouth. Soups, salads, noodles, service are all great every time I go. I always try something new. Prices for sushi range $5/roll for a basic sweet potato or California roll to $13+/roll for more complex or elegant choices. If your a sushi lover then this is a must try.
Very friendly service. Clean tables. Sushi was wonderful
So fresh, so yummy, so cool to watch the magic happen right at the bar💃🕺💃🕺💃Waitstaff is amazing!!!😁🌞🌞🌞😁so polite and welcoming and ready to go out of their way....an amazing first visit, will definitely be back!!💃🕺💃😊💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺😁thank you for a great birthday😊💓💓😊HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 🤙🤙🤙🤙😁
This is our go to sushi place. I personally drive 45/50 min to go here even though Grand Rapids is closer to me, I do this because this place had the best sushi and great staff. I have a shellfish allergy and have never had an issue there. Update still the freaking best!
Our first time here. Great sushi shop. Our waitress was fabulous & the sushi/sashimi delicious
I made a last-minute choice and it was a good one. Sakura Sushi is one of the better sushi restaurants I’ve eaten at. I had a tuna dinner which included five different variations of tuna. It came with soup and salad. All of the staff from the server to the sushi chef and manager were friendly and easy to talk with.
Its a really great place to eat I took my fiance for her birthday
Best local sushi in the area. Always fresh, good quality seafood. We love classic sashimi and nigari,Never been disappointed. They also have many chef specials and non-raw meals including udon and rice dishes. Chefs are top notch, wait staff is always great.******Update******Staff has changed, still pretty good
Very good food and service was excellent.... will return for more good eats
The food here is so good! The employees are friendly!
This place was absolutely amazing! Their authenticity ruined us for Asian takeout. The portion sizes are plentiful! The staff was friendly & knowledgeable; Their suggestions are on point (especially for someone new to sushi).
Got takeout tonight. took a bit for prep, but worth the (slight - to be fair, there were several diners when i arrived for pickup) wait. among the best rolls i have ever had. great flavor, ingredients and well prepared. definitely will go back and try more.
Sushi Boat for 2 was great!! Love the lady at the counter shes #1.Had my order ready and fresh she always greets me with a smile and her attitude is so wonderful dont get much of that these days.. wish I could have given her a bigger tip. Will next time!!!
Taste was ok. A little overhyped. Probably a solid 4 If I never left BC.
This place never disappoints. My favorite sushi restaurant year after year.
I flew into town and was craving some sushi. Id heard Sakura was a good place to go so I did. I walked in quite confused (wasnt sure if I was at the right place) and was greeted by Faith. She was warm and kind when Id said Id never been there before but I had heard great things of the place. She made the ordering process super welcoming and chill. After I took my food home, I came back with my sister because I wouldnt share my 32 pieces of sushi :) After the encounter with Faith, I was more than happy to ride back with my sister to bring them more business. Superb first impression, and when Im back in town I will stop by again. Thanks Faith!
Sakura is taking Covid 19 seriously, requiring masks to be worn until seated and marking out areas to make social distancing easier. An appreciated part of this was that each pen used as part of payment was placed in pot to be sanitised. This attention to small things like this makes me feel more at ease. Hand sanitiser was available at the entrance and the counter.We ordered in store for take out and were given a 25 to 30 minute wait. The food was ready and waiting when we returned after 25 minutes.The food was fantastic as we have come to expect. The vegetable tempura was light and crispy. The rolls well made and stayed together. We ordered mainly vegetarian rolls- avocado, avocado asparagus cucumber, sweet potato, and futomaki. The eel avocado roll is a favourite. And we were not disappointed. We asked for sides of ginger dressing and gluten free tamari sauce and recieved both.Good food, wonderful service and attention to the small things. We love eating at Sakura.(Visited Sep 3, 2020)
Had lunch with a friend, great atmosphere and wonderful food. Never have been to this restaurant. Had the beef box great amount of food very reasonable price. Look forward to taking my wife out on a date night.
Great service with awesome recommendations on local beer. The sushi platter was exceptional.
The food was really good, the server was rather rude, the music playing in the background was inappropriate.We will probably be back but not dinning in, well do takeout instead.My Japanese wife, enjoyed the food but noted that some of the menu items were mislabeled. Our sever must have been having a bad night, because she was rude to us from start to finish. The music playing in the background were more suited to a nightclub, as most of the songs had overt or subtle sexual references. Definitely Not A Family Friendly Restaurant. Might order again, (the food was good) but will avoid the dine in experience.
Great food and wonderful service from our waitress. My son is a sushi newbie and she was very helpful. We will be back.
Absolutely delicious food. Friendly staff as well
Traveling for work and wanted sushi. This place is definitely worth the stop if you like sushi. Huge selection and delicious! The service was extremely friendly, welcoming and great. Thanks for the great food and service. If Im ever back in town, Ill def stop again.
VERY impressed with the sushi quality, creative menu, and attentive/friendly/professional service... They seem to run a tight ship, which is always comforting with raw fish, lol! :) The rolls are also easy to pop in your mouth whole (not too large).
Between manager David and all of the staff you will never get better service. It’s definitely your “Cheers” experience for sushi restaurants. And the sushi is OUTSTANDING! I’m born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Fl and eat sushi out about 3 times a week so I love me some sushi and have eaten it the majority of my life. During the summer I come up to Battle Creek to visit my parents. My mother and I eat here 2-3 times a week. It’s that good! I promise you will not be disappointed. This place is the bomb! And FYI, I personally don’t have a google account so I have to use my fathers.
Really great quality of sushi, as well as you there items on the menu for people in your party who dont care for sushi, as well as a nice beer selection. The atmosphere is very nice, dark tables with dimmed lights and light-up boards that highlight their specials. Additionally, I have never had a problem with the service here. I highly recommend trying their house special rolls, my favorite is the Crazy Dragon Roll.
High quality sushi and creative specialty rolls! Prices are reasonable. Wine list is okay, but this an area that I know I can be picky about. Staff is very friendly and competent and I never felt rushed even though we were there late and stayed after hours a bit. Highly recommend.
Great place to have lunch. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. I thought the sushi menu was pretty good and they have some Japanese beer on the menu as well. Good appetizers and a discount for military, veterans, and law enforcement. The prices on some things are a little more but not unreasonably so. It is definitely a pretty good representation of Japanese cuisine.
Food was good. Theyve managed to keep some atmosphere while adhering to new safety protocols.Waitresses need longer breaks or a fanned room. Our lady was obviously overheating under the mask and it affected her mood throughout service. I feel for them and while it slightly soured the experience this time, past successes grossly overshadow that and i just have sympathy for your waitresses.
( revised review) Great food, generous portions, FRESH made sushi. Taste is so delicious that my kids beg me to eat there over the buffets in town. The four of us ate 5 large specialty rolls and 5 regular rolls and are every last piece. So good! Compliments to the revamped management, wait staff and awesome sushi chefs!
We had the best service either of us have had in a long time at this restaurant. The sashimi was VERY nice, and my husband said the teriyaki was an emotional experience.
Really good sushi and green tea ice cream! Our server was Jayden and she was an absolute sweetheart. Great place, definitely eating here again!
Sakura is my favorite place to get sushi in Battle Creek. The wait staff always has good recommendations. Theyre abiding by covid protocols and we didnt need a reservation to get a table for a late dinner on a weeknight. They have paper throw away menus or a QR code posted out front for a digital menu. Plenty of hand sanitizer at the entrance/exit (just not on the tables). Condiments arent on the tables anymore but available on request. We were very pleased!
Very good, authentic food. I come here at least once a month. And it never disappoints.
Love the sushi and manager is always so pleasant! Good for date night or family dinner. Kids love it, too!
Oh my gosh, the food was absolutely amazing. I spent less than $40 and got a ton of food. It was hot and delicious even after we sat for 45 minutes waiting to pick up our daughter from work. We got home and steam was still coming off the food. We had the Rainbow Roll and it was fresh and tasty. The shrimp fried rice had huge pieces of shrimp and not just a few either, there were shrimp in every bite I took. We also got the shrimp tempura bento box and I can’t say enough about the shrimp that were in that meal. They were huge and tender and delicious. The fruit in the box was honeydew melon and it was ripe without being over or under ripe. There were three types of fried veggies and everything else in the hot meal was so good. There was a Japanese dressing for the salad that was so light you almost didn’t know it was on your tongue. My husband & I will definitely be going there again.
Absolutely loved everything. My new favorite restaurant. Can not wait to eat there again. Thank you chefs. I fell in love with Japanese food all over again.
The sushi chefs are great. The food is great. They pick great tasting fish. This place can compared to sushi restaurants you find on the west coast. Its not the super high end sushi place with one piece of sashimi for each course with a $100 bill at the end of your one meal. But the quality of fish and rolls are top notch. The service is very spotty though. Sometimes slow. Sometimes forgetful. If it wasnt for that this place would get 5 stars. Try sitting at the bar sometimes, the chefs might treat you to a free appetizer.
Sakura has a great menu with options for everyone. I go specifically for the sushi and sashimi, but they have plenty of non-sushi offerings. The fish is always fresh and wonderful. There are good drinks, and the prices are reasonable. The staff are great too, I have gone dozens of times and every visit was Great! The atmosphere of the restaurant is great too, sit at the sushi bar and watch your meal be prepared, or get a table :)
One of the greatest Japanese restaurant in town. My coworker and I go there often for dinner and drink after work. Staff is very friendly and great foods.
Omg.. The most amazing sushi! Definitely worth the price. Fast and friendly service on the phone as well as in person.The menu is huge and there are so many different sushi rolls. My boyfriend and I cant wait to try them all.We ordered carry out 20 minutes before lunch was over and the staff was super awesome about it.Cant wait to go back for more xD
This is decent for Battle Creek but doesnt compare to a larger market. The rice is plain and many of the menu is over the top sauces to compensate for the taste of the fish. Im not complaining at all. I had a great time and left full. Just dont expect 5 star sushi.
I was very scared and skeptical about sushi but the waitress was super helpful and made me feel so comfortable! She even showed me the dishes that were less overwhelming for a first timer! The environment was fun and relaxed to the point where the sushi chef was even entertaining at the sushi bar! Now Im hooked and have it at least once a week!
Good food, great service, excellent prices.
Not authentic and one of the worst Japanese restaurant Ive ever been to. I ordered a tempura bento, the shrimp tempura were overcooked and the coating (batter) was really thick. The two things I liked were their salad and their attentive service.
Food was good. Super unhappy about a table sitting right next to me. I asked to be moved to another table, still could hear a very disgusting conversation going on. I had to finally get up and leave. The server said her boss was talking to the owner about what to do... too late. If the workers or manager heard any of the conversation it should have been stopped. He table was loud and so inappropriate. Good thing there was no children in there. Most likely wont be back. Its too bad.
First time here after moving into the area a year ago. I will def be back! I had the shrimp bento box and one of deep fried rolls. It came with salad and miso. All was good to excellent. And the service was outstanding. I think we had Mira. Kudos!
One of the best sushi places that I ever go, omg the Mexican sushi, bussin 🔥💯
TRY TRY TRY ❣️We ordered 4 menus, Tempura / Sushi Regular / Chicken yaki soba / Chicken katsu!Very satisfying and nice cool staff.Waitress girl was super sensible and quick!You wont be disappointed at all.❤️👍🏻
I went to this place for a friday night dinner. They have great selection of sushi rolls. Most of them we tried were good except for salmon roll. It was kind of bland. We also ordered tempura appetizer and it was yummmy. I would say its a perfect tempura.Staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. I would definitely come back to this place.
Great food, great service!
Not as good as Kumo in Portage, but made for a great lunch
The food was great, the service was terrible. We split three sushi rolls between the two of us. I also had a garden salad and miso soup. The salad was drenched in dressing though. Soup was hot and good. The sushi rolls could have used some more sauce. I gave three stars because the service was very poor. Our server did not wait for us to sit down before starting to talk to us about drinks. She did not offer us water with our alcohol purchases. We got our food fast. During our meal the server did not come back, not even one time, to see if we needed anything! As I have served for years at various restaurants and in different settings I found this extremely inappropriate. I needed water and had to ask the manager for it. I could see our server standing in the back hallway socializing as we ate. She finally came back after we were well past finished. Her attitude was short and not friendly. Our bill was $51.94. We left a $60 and walked out. She stood to earn a good 30% from us, but we believe you earn money as a server by putting in effort! Lastly there was a server vacuuming RIGHT next to our table during our dinner. How rude to run a vacuum cleaner while someone eats dinner! Good food but dont expect quality service.
Sakura in Battle Creek is a nice Sushi Joint. My wife and I are vegetarians, and they have a few really good rules for us. We especially like the avocado roll. Sometimes well get the AAC and sweet potato rolls, which were very good as well. The service is pretty quick even when they are busy. We are always pleased with our meals. The side salad and avocado salad are both very tasty as well.Most of the time I order an extra roll so that my wife can share it with me, because she pretends like shes only going to eat the two roles that she ordered.
Fabulous restaurant. Being in a strip mall of sorts was a little deceptive, I’ve found those places are usually just run of the mill food. Not the case for Sakura. We were in Battle Creek just for a visit to the casino and decided on this place based on the reviews and glad we did. The Gyoza (pan fried dumplings) was so good. We had the Michigan Roll and a White Dragon, they both were larger than what we’ve found in Grand Rapids and the taste was fresh and clean, the temperature perfect, the rice fell apart into grains immediately and on the Michigan roll the Salmon just “melted” (for lack of a better term); on the White Dragon the crab tasted great and it’s apparent that it was not immigration crab. I’d recommend getting the actual fresh Wasabi (can’t recall the name but it’s not the Wasabi paste) if you like the of Wasabi, worth every cent of the $3 it cost. The Maki rolls were also very tasty but not much different than what we’ve found at other sushi restaurants.Our server was Devon, he was super attentive (but not annoying) had a great sense of humor and kept our drinks full. It’s clear he either loves what he does or is just really good at at least faking it.Oh, and the prices were also very reasonable, I’d even dare to say lower than expected based on the quality of food received.If you’re in the area and like Sushi it’s worth your time to stop in.
Food came out delicious, even though the waitress brought us the wrong roll and didnt bother to bring my drink order. Especially liked how she didnt even apologize when I explained that I thought I had asked for for a samurai roll...And after soup, salad, and food had all been consumed I no longer needed my drink order and to please cancel. Left a lot to be desired by way of customer service.
Nigiri Sashimi, Sashimi and California Roll...Lunch Combo!!
All vegetable Sushi?? YES they have it here! In fact, all of their sushi is made fresh by chefs you can actually see. This has become my new fav take out place for this genre of food in Battle Creek. Greeter and waitstaff have been wonderful any time I make over to this place. It would be better with more available parking but the food is knock-out and more than makes up for the parking thing. Try the sushi, fried rice, or a specialty meal and youll be back for more!
Amazing food and great service. Tue Alaskan and crunchy rolls are my favorite. Some sushi is tempura- lightly cooked. There is also steak or chicken fried rice for those who need cooked food.
Food was great! However our server, Angie I believe was her name, was extremely unprofessional and rude. She seemed to be training a new server and yelled at her in front of us. She ruined the experience for us.
So tasty and always wonderful service.
I love this place! The best sushi in town! This place has been a sushi staple of BC sense they opened. Its safe to say that I was addicted for the first couple years it was here. Now its a treat for myself.
Never had a bad experience and there sushi is SO good! I prefer to sit at the bar. If youre a regular and tip well the chefs will often times make you free stuff to try.
My family and I love this place. My eight year old loves the miso soup and cucumber roll as well as the chicken bento box. We always get fresh sushi when we are there and the waitresses are always very friendly. If you sit at the sushi bar, the chefs are very entertaining. We would highly recommend!
Throughly impressed with the quality of the food at Sakura. Fresh sashimi that tastes like it was just caught, so for being in the middle of southern Michigan this is quite an accomplishment. They know how to pack it and bring it in right. One of my favorite experiences about going to a new place, for me, is discovering the rolls that are unique to that location. Rolls like the Battle Creek and the Sweet Heart are original and something new to try. I look forward to going back.
Went for my 7 year olds birthday per his request. Great service, wonderful food - our server Angie was wonderful! Were from out of town and wildly disappointed we wont be able to return regularly.
Food was delicious. Waitress was attentive and double checked food allergies for us. Just plain wonderful
Excellent sushi and non sushi selections. They had 2 selections of plum wine which was awesome. The place is very clean and the staff are very courteous. The prices were also very reasonable. I would certainly go back.
Every visit to Sakura is a treat. After 30+ visits over past 2 years, I am still impressed by their service, skilled chefs, and the bursts of flavor with their fresh sushi and sashimi. Try the soup for 2... Much tastier than elsewhere. Always a date night with my wife when we get here, no matter if we are in jeans or dressed up.
Always an amazing place to get sushi! Its actually the only place in battlecreek Ill go to! Me and my wife love it.
Even though it is take out only, everyone I had contact with was very friendly also very helpful. We love this restaurant and we cant wait for February 1st so we can DINE IN..
Yum!!! High quality sushi/sashimi and rolls. Excellent options of other Japanese dishes. Good service. One of my favorite places to go out.
Oh its almost to hard to put into words. Absolutely delicious!! This is my second time coming here. The first time there was a quite a few of us and every one of us ordered something different. Everything I tried I loved.This time my son ordered. Once again it was all new. Items I havent tried yet. All was fantastic.Best place in town. I highly recommend Sakura
The Cajun fire roll was the best sushi roll we ever had and weve had a lot of sushi! Visiting from Ohio and it was the perfect spot for lunch!
Went with co workers my first time. Tried a variety of sushi and I absolutely loved it. Server Devon Wilson was friendly and knowledgeable. Will return again.
We simply walked up and read on the door that 1 person was allowed in the lobby at a time, so, my sister grabbed a menu and we both stood outside to look to the side of the door, whoever the little old blonde lady was came outside extremely rudely said move down their are customers trying to come inside social distancing thing walks back inside, as a lady with no mask walks inside, so Ill never buy from you ever considering that was the first time I was ever going to get to try sakura. Thanks for the terrible service. We are all going through this together the least you could do is be kind.
I had the dinner bento box. The flavors reminded me of being stationed in Japan as a kid. Somehow they managed to make the plate not only filling and flavorfull but very artistic.Just to let everyone know im not a bot. It came with a salad, the salad had a flavor profile of its own that attempted to become the center piece. I cant remember any of my favorite food stands in Tokyo offering salads and thus did not finish it.If you enjoy the flavors of sake while eating their sake flight hits every note throughout the meal. We had ours warmed up because it helps the flavors bloom.The service and environment needs its own review for how well they preformed.
Been here nurmous times, the food is good and reasonably priced.One of my friends had a terrible experience with their bathroom. She said the bathroom smelled like rotting food and swage. Bathrooms are supposed to smell a little but she claims that this didnt smell like someone doing their business. I didnt verify this claim because a cant go into that bathroom. She has small children so shes used to changing dipers.She ended up only eating about a quarter of her food.Our server, while she did a good job...she wasnt very friendly. Otherwise things were fine. Ill be back, maybe then we can verify if the bathroom situation is an ongoing problem or an isolated incident.
Its OK. I was starving so it worked. I didnt care for much of the food. It was different compared to others. To each its own. Not quite my fave place
Freshest, most delicious sushi Ive ever had. Fast and friendly service. Calming atmosphere, very clean. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys sushi
My favorite spot in town! Great service, delicious food, and great prices! Best sushi ever!
Great sushi and a decent section of rolls.
Delicious! Seriously amazing place to eat. Staff was great. Presentation was impeccable. Fish was fresh and delicious. Huge portion of food plus salad and soup at a great price. A+
Weve never been disappointed. At one time during peak hours service could get a little slow (as any good place does) but that has really improved with increased staff. My husband and I visit when ever we can, and always try to try something new, Weve never made a poor choice.
I love coming here. It about a 45 minute drive from my home, but its worth it. Service is always great, and everything Ive ordered has been so good! The pricing is fair too!
Amazing food and service. Food was wonderful, made quickly and amazing quality! Love this place!
Awesome place! Super clean! Great staff! Felt right at home and took excellent care of my friend and I. Go check it out! You will not regret it at all.
Very excellent food and service, this is one of the best places around , definitely try it out
I went on my birthday. They offered a few dessert selections as a comp. I selected the fried green tea ice cream. It was out of this world!!!😆 Mexican combo roll for entree. Great!!!
The sushi is phenomenal and the chefs are nice. The waitresses are kind and helpful. Its always very clean and well kept. Good for the price as well.
Always a great experience! The food is fantastic and the wait staff are phenomenal!
Go for the food. Leave because the wait staff sucks. Seriously just a bunch of pretentious rich kids. And the manager or whatever she is treats people like garbage. Good thing I go there for the sushi not the politics
Great little restaurant. The wait staff was prompt, timely, and engaging. The food is fantastic. The Vegas Roll is great!
Our go-to sushi place, love going here for our sushi fix, always fresh, great staff, just an all around great experience every time
Ive been going to sakura for a couple years now and their food has always been nothing short of amazing. Good quality great taste. Definitely recommend to any sushi lover.
The food is very good and very fresh. Can be a little pricy, but it is worth it for the quality of food. If anyone is craving good sushi, or just good japanese food in general, this is the place is awesome.
Best sushi in town! Nice calming atmosphere, and great staff. Very big selection, always fresh, and always a great time.
Great food. I wish they had a nicer setting than a strip mall, but didnt bother me enough to lose a star. Our regular sushi stop!
Hmm what to say about this place. I really like the people. What really got me was the food. Idk. Ive eaten at a lot of places. For some reason I just didnt like the food. Maybe its what I ordered. Maybe it was because I was tired from the Zoo. Idk. I guess Ill give it another shot, but something just felt off about it all.
The food is so fresh and amazing! We loved every bite! The server was very helpful, too. We will definitely be going back!
Price and quality great, both locations in Kalamazoo and Battle Creek Ive had a great experience. Friendly and prompt service both dining in and with take out.
Food was amazing and so was the service.
Great sushi! And friendly servers!
The sushi is always excellent. Im glad there is a place like this in BC.
Love this place ! Great food ! YUMMY!!
Great atmosphere!! Great Sushi!! And lets not forget they have a great staff !!!
So I recently wrote a review about the new game in town called Ichimi. Sakura is the established base. However, due to the fact that neither place is actually run by Japanese people, the authenticity lacks (dearly). Having said that, I rate Ichimis food as better tasting. The reason though that I keep going back to Sakura is that their waitresses are so nice and especially sweet to my son who loves the hot pot udon. They always give him some free dessert and take time to talk to him. I dont know if its a hiring practice, but it always is this way and that is what makes me not able to betray my beloved Sakura and go to Ichimi. I mention in my review of Ichimi too that it breaks my heart to give the nod for the food to them over Sakura. However, I reiterate that for special meals with my son or family they all vote Sakura and based on the sheer way that they have treated me over the years, this is where I pledge my loyalty. Even though I know a lot about Japanese foods, dining out is still an experience in comfort and enjoyment. Sakura delivers where Ichimi does not.
It is good food but not for me! Service was great!
Best hibachi experience ever! Sushi and hibachi were the best Ive ever had!
Great sushi, very fresh, presentation was great.
Ordered teriyaki steak was supposed to come with rice and did not it was ok but not my favorite
This place is excellent! Friendly over the top staff, family owned and operated.
Best sushi in the area. Its always clean and the staff are always nice and helpful. My favorite is the drunken tiger roll combo.
Wonderful food, so consistent. David, Shannon, Angie and the rest of the staff are amazing!
Great sushi great selection all prepared by great chefs makes for a great dining experience. All of which can be found at this establishment.
The food was excellent and great service. The portion size was more than expected. Definitely will be going back for more.
If I could give it more stars I would. From the food to the staff we always have an amazing experience. Every time I come home to visit this place always makes it as a stop.
Always good sushi.
Really good, best place for sushi in the area
Fantastic environment. Great staff. Friendly and talented chef, especially Wayne. Only place Ill eat sushi.
The best sushi and authentic Japanese restaurant in the area. Food and service are excellent!
Very fine dinning experience, excellent sushi and great service. I would recommend this place to anyone seeking fine dinning in bc.😎
Ordered Lobster roll, got shrimp and imitation crab meat.
I love this place only place in Battle Creek with authentic sushi. The lunch special is an awesome deal. Going for my birthday tomorrow.
Great sushi, always tastes fresh. Their special/featured sushi roll is always fantastic. Great service.
Had vegetable tempura rolls and avocado rolls, both tasted good. Place was clean and service was good.
Very welcoming. Great service and Great Food!!! Will be my go to spot when Im in town. Thanks David and staff.
This place is definitely worth your money. The food is delicious and of the 3 times Ive been to this location, the service has been great.
Great service & sushi! One of our favorite spots in BC!
Great Host ,wait staff , sushi fresh, amazing portions and good food what else needed!!! Oh bring family and friends!!!
Good sushi. Clean environment. No complaints. I always go here.
Hands down the best place to eat sushi in Kalamazoo, Portage and Battle Creek!
Only two other tables seated and still slow service. Didnt receive soup and salad that came with meal and didnt recieve all my change paying bill.
The best!!! We used to have to go to Kalamazoo, but now top tier Sushis in the Creek. And Qudoba down the street.....Perfection

2022-04-05Nothing better than fresh made sushi. The food is premium quality. The sushi is hands down the best in town. The restaurants astetic resembles what I would call a den. Its some what low lighting with classic Japanese wall art. There is a small sushi bar with available seating.

2022-03-05Our experience was poor at best. The manager was clearly drunk and it was obvious upon our arrival. The mood in the dining room made us feel like we where putting them out by being there on a Friday night at 8pm. Our server was less then helpful. Will not return, its a shame they used to be the best in Battle Creek.

2022-02-16Our service was really great. It was nice to have the sushi option in the area. The sushi was well presented, but I dont think the quality was that great. I feel like it was just average. The restaurant was clean so that was nice.

2022-04-22You never have to question the quality, service, or dedication to the customer. Great cuts and quality of fish make this a top notch place in my book always.The local rolls and specials are something to look at for sure. Take your time on the menu, its long and the choices are the best part. Its quite possible they have the best Hamachi kama anywhere.

2021-08-16Amazing Sushi at Sakura! I love Fatty Tuna Sashimi, but am disappointed with it at most places. Sakura delivers raw Tuna that almost melt in your mouth. I also love the Bento Lunch Boxes and their Miso Soup is on point. I highly recommend them for Sushi lovers.

2022-06-07Weve been here twice. The staff was very kind to us in both experiences. The food is good, but its not the best either. Solid place to satisfy a craving if you need a place thats open a little later than most!
