Sakura a new AYCE spot to the East Valley. Walking in there are bright red designs a tribute to the land of the rising sun Japan! When you eat here you will feel some deja vu because the menu is almost an exact replica of Akita's.
The hits: Lots of nigiri on the lunch menu with long slices of sashimi and the prices for AYCE is only $13.50. We had an interesting tobiko that was green! At first when I looked at it I thought it was jello but it tasted the same.
The misses: We ordered the tempura and it came with sweet & sour sauce (Whhatt?!) not tempura sauce
-They didn't have Unagi nigiri and when we ordered the eel avocado they put the tiniest sliver of eel.
-Ice Cream: Butter Pecan was too sweet and Green Tea Ice cream didn't have any taste.
Verdict 3.5/5
Take your friends for lunch because it's a good deal at $13.50 and you want to just fill up. But if you want the sushi boat experience this is not your ship.
