Sakura

Sakura in Akron, Ohio is hands down one of the best sushi spots around! The scallop and toro nigiri were absolutely to die for — incredibly fresh, buttery, and perfectly prepared. You can really taste the quality in every bite. We also ordered the Golden Dragon Roll and the Kings Roll, and both were amazing. The flavors were perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and packed with freshness. Every roll tasted like it was made with care and attention to detail. If you’re looking for top-tier sushi in Akron, this is the place!!

01/28/2026: Came back for a 3rd time for another birthday dinner celebration. Great place and great service. The only negative is they need gnat catchers placed discreetly somewhere. We saw a few the last time and there was a few hanging around again. 01/2026: Our second time here and truly enjoyed it! Came here for a birthday celebration and everyone got something different and each was satisfied with their meal.

When you walk into a place and see a fish tank, you know it’s going to be good. This place was amazing. Overall, everything we had was great. The service was nice, though it was a really busy place. Prices were extremely reasonable. We walked in on Saturday evening and had to wait about 20 minutes for six people. They have food beyond sushi as well. Parking is easy right out front since it’s in a strip mall. I would absolutely go back.

Sakura was amazing! I got the Jalapeño Yummy Roll and it was seriously so good — super fresh with a solid kick. My girlfriend got the Rainbow Roll and loved it too. Everything tasted fresh and came out fast. The vibe was chill, the staff was super nice, and the sushi looked as good as it tasted. Definitely coming back here again! 🍣🔥

Sushi is incredibly fresh. Also, a good selection as well. The curry sauce was also very good. The place is really small and very popular. But surprisingly, it is fairly quiet. The staff here is exceptionally friendly, like 10/10 they make the trip. The drinks here are also very well balanced and refreshing. I believe this is the best Japanese restaurant I've tried in the akron area so far. There is also a parking lot out front that is huge. You will always find parking, and it seems the restaurant always has a table available. The serves cleaned down a table next to us in less than 3 minutes, so you will not wait long.
