Sakura Japanese Restaurant

Best Sushi in East Cobb! We come all the time.

We love this place... our go to for Sushi in East Cobb. You have to have the Jingle Roll... We get one EVERY trip. Service can get spotty but they all work as a team so you don't need to look far if you need something. Food is great, atmosphere is great and we love everyone who works there. Thanks Sakura

We love this place! After moving nearby about a year ago, we discovered friends had been driving 20-30 minutes for almost a decade to eat at Sakura - passing several sushi restaurants along the way. Ask Tim, the chef owner, if you don’t know what to order! The sushi is fresh and delicious. Tim chooses the best and posts a list of daily specials on the white board. Watch him erase one by one as he and three other chefs fill order after order on a busy Friday night (beautifully plated takeout lining the counter). We had the unfortunate experience of observing three guests at a table threaten bad reviews if they had to pay for their meal last night (leaving the owner’s sweet daughter serving them in tears). They’d seemingly thoroughly enjoyed the wine and rolls all evening until the check arrived - then complained about wait time - “you didn’t even have to cook anything.” Please carefully consider any bad reviews. This is not fast food, but it’s worth every cent and an experience to be savored slowly - roll by roll, piece by piece. Take a tip from locals who just order piles of takeout when tables are full - from a chef who greets them by name.

This is the best sushi ever!! I personally am a sushi connoisseur, and this is the best sushi I have ever tasted. I normally come here once a week. To start, the sushi is fresh and flavorful, the staff is friendly, and it is a very cozy restaurant. Their soup and salad is on top of the game, the steamed rice makes you think you've reached heaven, and the sushi is to die for. Sakura is reasonably priced and is casual or semi casual. Overall this is one of my favorite restaurants and I hope you enjoy!

We have been coming here for over 9 years. Tim is such an artist and his sushi tastes as good as it looks. The fish is always super fresh making it difficult for us to go anywhere else even if we wanted. We have referred many people to him and everyone who has gone got hooked like we did. If you are wanting a hibachi grill experience, this is not the place for you. If you want epic sushi, this is the place for you! We love Sakura!
