Sakura Japanese - Mechanicsburg

We decided to share a sushi roll, and each ramen bowl came with its own sushi roll as well, alongside a bowl of miso soup. The miso soup was an unexpected delight and probably the best I’ve had in the area – very tasty! The sushi was exceptional and fresh; it was definitely the highlight of our meal. Ironically, I wasn’t a fan of the ramen. My husband ordered a soy-based broth, while I opted for the pork broth that our server recommended. The soy broth was definitely better; the pork broth had an off-putting smell that made it difficult to enjoy. The flavor was decent, but the aroma was hard to overlook. We would absolutely return for the sushi and boba drinks! We’re also interested in trying the udon soups next time, as they looked great.

I ordered sushi for takeout over the phone, and it was ready right on time and absolutely delicious. Their seafood sauce is delightful, resembling a great yum yum sauce. The only small drawback was that they added spicy mayo to the Carlisle roll, which wasn’t mentioned in the description. For someone who doesn’t enjoy any spice, that was a bit disappointing. However, they did follow my request to leave out the wasabi honey on the yummy roll. The side of chicken fried rice was generous and well worth the $6, with plenty of flavor. Overall, I will definitely return!

I recently discovered this restaurant and have visited 3 or 4 times, and each experience has been fantastic. I've mostly ordered the hibachi dishes, which offer excellent portion sizes and great flavors! The sushi was also beautifully plated during one of my visits. I particularly enjoy the robotic server that brings drinks and appetizers—maybe AI still needs a little time before it’s ready to deliver entrees, but it's such a cool touch! The service has been great every time, and I like the ambiance; it's a bit dark but beautifully decorated. Sakura is quickly becoming one of my favorite Japanese restaurants, and I highly recommend it!

It should be illegal for sushi to be this good... I'm ok without knowing how many calories are in these but one get one yummy roll!!!!!

When I first started dining here, sushi was excellenr, excellent presentation. tonight was not that great, waiter did not record order correctly, even after I asked him to use the electronic mobile aka apple ipad. i asked for spicy tuna handrolls, ride paper made into an ice cone shape with spicy tuna. that took another 15 minutes. wasn't that busy for a saturday night. the menu had numbers on it. the server said the sushi chefs don't know the numbers. when then sushi boar was served, the boat itself smelled very soapy as it was washed but had a soapy residue that took away from the aroma of the sushi. the sushi didn't smell right, smelled very fishy as with quality sushi, no fishy smell. took another 10 minutes to get a side plate, soy sauce and a small plate to mix soy/wasabi. overall compared to other sushi places, sakura needs some improvement
