Expert Reviews of Sakura Japanese Restaurant

Citysearch | Dexterous chefs produce top-notch sushi and shashimi creations at this authentic Japanese restaurant.

4.0 of 5 stars. I have been a patron of Sakura since the late 80's, when I used to drive up with friends from Bloomington for dinner. Back then, B'town only had one restaurant that served sushi, can you even…

5.0 of 5 stars. One of the best, if not the best Sushi spots in the city, Sakura has great food and a cool, yet simple atmosphere. I've not fully explored the extent of the menu, but if you like sushi, this is a must…

Yelp.com Review - by Erin T.

4.0 of 5 stars. Note: have only eaten vegan here, no seafood. Best Japanese and sushi in Indy, with Naked Tchopstix second because they're not quite as consistently good.

5.0 of 5 stars. Very good. Especially the FLORIDA ROLL that tops the sushi with a little something extra that makes you go WOW. We sat at the sushi bar because it was easier to get a seat there since it's pretty…

Yelp.com Review - by Mia M.

4.0 of 5 stars. I've been comparing all of Indy's sushi restaurants to my favorite, Naked Tchopstix in Broad Ripple (see my review) for many years now. This is the first one that has surpassed it on several levels.…

Yelp.com Review - by Marc K.

4.0 of 5 stars. Excellent Sushi, comparable with what I've had in SF. The decor is really cool with a great overall feel. The only reason that I don't give it 5 stars is the wait, good places are busy.
