I stopped here recently for a quick lunch and I was fairly disappointed. I had the teriyaki chicken lunch meal, which was chicken, veggies, and rice for less than $7, so it's a great price, but the food left a lot to be desired. The whole meal was very oily and the teriyaki sauce was fairly bland. The veggies were mostly cabbage and very little carrots or broccoli and it was a disappointing meal overall. It's a great deal for the amount of food you get, but I wouldn't come here again.
Ordered the sashimi combo for dinner. Wasn't a big fan of the squid or octopus pieces. Their texture seemed rubbery.
The rest of the items-the salmon, yellowtail and whitefish were decent. Overall it was ok.
The teriyaki here is delicious and eve portions are nice. You can get chicken, tofu, shirt or beef for $5.59 a $6.59 or combo them up to about $10.50, so not a bad deal. Great smoothies and you can mix the flavors.
The place is really inviting with big windows in the front, so when you're sitting down the place is well lit without a lot of artificial light during the day. There's stool seating right near the window, a long bench along the right wall under some nice ethnic set work, and small tables that seat 4 scattered throughout the place.
As soon as you walk in you can see fresh sushi being made and then the grill is right behind that to the right of the register. The one thing that I have always loved about this place is that you get to see your food, and everyone else's being prepared.
For a place that doesn't wait tables, the tables are always clean the staff is really nice. As far as the food goes, the taste is spot on and filling. All the dishes come with rice or noodles and a side of veggies if you'd like, so it's very well balanced.
It is teriyaki and sushi, a really simple menu, so if you're looking for more, you gotta go elsewhere. I love it, it's worth it and the smoothies are very good as well.
DELIVERY REVIEW ONLY:
Sakura Japan on Market delivers to Downtown in Newark. I've ordered a few times and they are consistent with both delivery service and the food. I've gotten the shrimp teriyaki, which comes with white rice and steamed vegetables, and I think it's a good deal (and tasty, too). The sushi is good, as well. You aren't getting Nobu here, instead it's like fast food sushi, but the rolls are tight and the fish fresh. Also, that spicy mayo is on point! 🙂 The miso soup also hits the spot.
I wasn't sure at first, but bubble tea can survive delivery. So if you have that craving for sugary milky goodness and chewy tapioca, you can get it delivered to you. Overall, I'm more than content with ordering from Sakura for delivery. Just order early or after the lunch rush.
This place deserves 10 stars for their super fast delivery. We ordered online from Grub Hub, and it told us to expect an hour wait. Our door bell rang just 20 minutes later! Is this an independent sushi restaurant, or Jimmy Johns?
My roommates wanted to go out for sushi, but I had the flu, and they didn't want to leave me, so they looked up sushi places that deliver. We had never heard of this place, and the fact that they had bubble tea sealed the deal. Being sick, I obviously had no desire for sushi, but bubble tea? Yes please.
The best part of the bubble tea is that they let you mix flavors, which is always a plus. I got coconut-mango with tapioca pearls, and it was one of the best bubble teas I've ever had (almost as good as The Tea Garden in St. Paul, MN). Not too sweet, but exploding with flavor. The tapioca pearls were the perfect texture, too. I'd order from here again just for the tea. (Note that all their bubble teas use dairy.)
