Sakura Japanese Cuisine

Surprisingly good sushi experience! Started with Salmon hand rolls. I can generally tell everything I need to know about the place and what to order from those 3-4 bites. We were definitely off to a good start! Salmon was not refrigerator-cold and really tender & flavorful. Roll wasn't tight so some of the nori stayed really crispy. Very well done! Miso soup arrived next. Unfortunately it presented as an instant mix, complete with the 1/4" cubes of tofu. Room for improvement but maybe they don't have much demand for it in the middle of June? Sushi rolls arrived next. The Fantastic Roll has a nice sear to the white tuna and the most perfectly ripe avocado. All in all, delicious! Chippewa Roll was likewise really tasty. Adding seaweed salad as a topping is new to me but it absolutely work

Total Ecstasy! Literally the best sushi I’ve had in WI. (I lived in LA for 25+ years) It was fantastic. Real deal. I came in right before closing but they took care of me. Great Sake too. Wish I lived here. :)

We ordered takeout from Sakura for dinner and were impressed. Ordering over the phone was quick and easy. We both had the scallop hibachi and shared two of the special rolls. Everything was great. A huge bonus was that the food came in an insulated carry bag. Very nice takeout experience.

I've primarily eaten fish as my main protein for the past 12 years in Southern California, so I'm very selective when it comes to sushi. I'll admit I've been a bit spoiled. So far, Sakura is the only place near Eau Claire/Chippewa where I'll order sushi. Everything was very good. Even through DoorDash, my edamame and noodles arrived warm, and the spicy tuna roll was fresh and well prepared. Anytime I've dined in, the service has been excellent. We were seated promptly and helped right away. The ambiance is calm and welcoming, and it pairs well with the food.

Sushi rolls were very good and tasted fresh! The restaurant itself is a bit small small but has a lot of tables so it felt like you were a little on top of other guests but the service was great and they had an awesome variety of menu items! Their udon noodles were a hit at the table with the kids and they have a nice cocktail menu which is always a nice addition with sushi; highly recommend the lychee martini!
