Sakura Ichiban Express - Burlington

WOW! I just ordered from Sakura Ichiban Express for the first time today and I am so impressed. The selection, presentation and extras were awesome, but the taste fantastic! The torched salmon is my new favourite! I will definitely be ordering again (and again!)

Really good flavors. I was impressed by the flavors and freshness of the sushi that I purchased. The only thing that kept me from giving a full 5 stars is that half my rolls had *very* stringy/chewy seaweed paper the rest of the sushi seemed very fresh and tasted amazing, but the seaweed lingered in my mouth and I ended up spitting it out for every piece, which did ruin the overall experience. This was my first time here and I hope this was just an exception, I'll be trying it again.

I tried the takoyaki and it was delicious. I returned for the salmon sushi and Japanese cakes, and they were also really good.

The service at this restaurant is good, as it is run by a friendly family. However, the food quality was disappointing. I ordered a platter with 66 pieces for $60, but the size of the rolls was much smaller than expected. Each piece was closer to 1/3 the size of a normal roll, making it feel more like 30 pieces for $60. In a time when businesses are increasing prices and decreasing portion sizes, this felt deflating and disappointing. It was clear that we were paying more for less. I will not be returning to this restaurant as the portion sizes were inadequate and misleading.

Used to be my to go place for Sushi/poke bowl take out. Not sure if this place got a new owner or what. Both quality and quantity are not comparable with before.
