Sakura 6
“Very cozy place this is my lunch spot for sure, the tuna tartare and the shrimp tempura I could have 5 of each, and the prices are right.”
“The AAQ roll is fresh and the veggie gyoza are always delicious and come with a really good dipping sauce.”
“Bottom line: some of the best sushi around, free hot sake, really really affordable and around the corner from my apartment.”

Good for a quick meal. My partner and I are a huge fan of their Hibachi Rice. Get it spicy or go home! Let's face it folks, without the spice, it tastes sub-par.
The servers are generally nice. Although my being asian, I know all about how they talk a lot of sh*t about people practically to their faces. That I did not dig. Luckily for me, I'm so ambiguous, that they dare not speak about me to my face since they're never sure what "breed" of asian I really am.
The rolls are ok, I agree that at times, they are not the freshest, but it's better than all the other neighborhood sushi places.
I'm glad I can finally get a good eel roll that is not all spiney. Gross.
Ugh I wrote a lengthy review and Yelp froze or something and it didn't get saved. The worst.
Essentially, Sakura 6 is great! I came here for a birthday party on a freezing night and they were so accommodating and nice, even when I'm sure our big group was annoying. The place has a really cozy vibe: Christmas tree lights, exposed brick walls, toasty heat turned on high (can you tell it was a cold night?). There's also free sake with any orders over $10, which is crazy. We definitely took advantage, but the food is also a great deal. They have a special of three rolls for $12 or something, and the portions weren't small. Most people actually left food on their plate. It came with miso soup or salad, and while I skipped the salad, the soup was fantastic! It was piping hot but also very umami-savory with lots of scallions and miso. Definitely a cut above most places that are more expensive.
Whenever I am in Greenpoint visiting my sister I order in from Sakura 6. I am a loyal customer for the sole reason of how good their lunch special is. Three rolls and a soup or salad all for $14. However, I do love to dip my sushi in eel sauce, and they charge a dollar extra for a side of it, even though most restaurants don't.
I always get either spicy tuna, spicy Salmon, salmon and mango or the eel avocado roll as a part of the lunch special. Last time I got the spicy tuna it was a little too spicy, and was an odd red-orange color. I most recently got the spicy salmon roll which was much better and crunchy. The mango in the salmon mango roll is always ripe and delicious as well.
The biggest downfall of Sakura 6 is the service and delivery. The service is very hasty and have hung up on me once, and forgot that I was on hold another time. Additionally, although seamless says 30-45 minutes for delivery, expect to wait at least an hour and fifteen for the food. Though, delivery times have been inconsistent and once I received a speedy delivery.
Sometimes when things are super cheap, you have to be skeptical…. but it is good it exists.
I came here for the lunch special, which is a great deal! There were several different options that looked amazing from the Bento Box meals but settled on tempura shrimp & veggies. The shrimp was large and delicious and I liked the assortment of vegetables. The meal also came with soup, california rolls, little dumplings, and rice. A very full meal. I was definitely satisfied.
For the first time ever, my parents are regulars at a restaurant. I walked in with them and the hostess/waitress asked them if they wanted to sit at their favorite table.
::blink::
"You guys have a favorite table?"
We were seated and without question, a bottle of hot sake appears at the table. There is free sake with dinner.
::swoon::
I have a hacking cough and i have discovere that hot sake is a means to shut me the hell up with regards to my annoying hack.
Just then, a 2nd bottle of sake appears as my father and i make massive dents in the hot rice wine.
We both ordered the Sushi Deluxe platter which comes with 9 pieces of sushi and a crunchy spicy salmon roll. Mom had a platter of shrimp tempura. The prices have slightly gone up but its still at a great deal. The three of us had deluxe platters and the total was $53. So, about $15 -18 per person. We ate and were stuffed. The service is nice. The food is fresh. I can see why mom and dad are patrons.
They also drive here and always find ample parking right out front.
