Sakura Sushi Roll - Montebello

Me and my girlfriends go to sushi spot for years, until yesterday we ordered our usual dragon roll and spicy tuna roll and they were HORRIBLE. it didn’t look nor taste right. It tasted really OLD and the color looked off. ’im really not a picky eater but something was off. I went into the restaurant to return my food to explain to the workers and the owner. The owner started telling me his food is fresh everyday and to prove his point he brought out a tray of tuna that looked HORRIBLE and was in a dirty dish… do not give this restaurant your business if you want to get food poisoning due to fish gone bad. They need their food rating revoked. Horrible. If I can give 0 stars I would.

The service was great. Food delicious. Generous servings, the rolls were big. I had box combo w/tempura was delicious.

The service, pricing and portions here are all excellent. They offered us miso soup for free as part of our order and they have some great happy hour pricing (buy one, get one free beer). The sushi rice and presentation were also superb, and the only qualm I had was that I didn't love the fish (which, unfortunately is a big part of visiting a sushi restaurant).

Sakura Sushi has become a reliable go to for my sushi cravings, and it 's consistently delivered a delightful dining experience. In the world of sushi spots, where quality can be hit or miss, Sakura Sushi stands out for its unwavering commitment to freshness. The fish is always a highlight consistently fresh and never leaving a trace of that undesirable fishy taste. As someone who values the essence of good sushi, I appreciate the attention to detail in maintaining the integrity of the ingredients. The rice, a crucial component of any sushi roll, is another standout. Always fresh and delightfully soft, it complements the flavors of the fish perfectly. The balance between rice and fish is well executed, contributing to the overall excellence of the dishes. The staff and service at Sakura Sushi are commendable. The team goes above and beyond to make each dining experience enjoyable. The owner, in particular, adds a personal touch with a humble and friendly demeanor, making customers feel welcomed and valued. One noteworthy aspect that sets them apart is their tempting drink deal. The buy one drink and get a second for a dollar promotion adds a fun and economical element to the dining experience. It 's a great way to enhance the overall value for patrons looking to enjoy a refreshing beverage with their meal. With consistently fresh fish, soft rice, friendly staff, and a welcoming owner, it 's a place that has earned its spot in my list of favorites. Whether you 're a sushi enthusiast or a casual diner, Sakura Sushi is a dependable choice for a satisfying and enjoyable meal.
