Despite how busy it was for Lunch, the service was remarkably fast and very friendly. Our waiter was very attentive to our needs and the food (although a bit pricey) was very good quality and nicely portioned. Will definitely come back again!

Over the years of coming here, I always loved the food here. Always delicious. The service really tries hard to make our food fast and helps us as much as possible. However, ever since the pandemic, I noticed a lot of places have not gone back to how they used to do things. So for Sushi Sakura, they like to close the restaurant by 2:30pm and reopen by 4pm. There are a lot of people who are normally off work or on their break by 2pm, so this technique loses a lot of customers. Why do all the servers and cooks need to take their breaks together? Why not send one or two people at a time on their breaks and stay open to customers who are on their breaks? Instead, we do feel like we are being rushed, so they can close the restaurant as they all sit in the back room eating together. Aside from that, this is a great restaurant with a great atmosphere. I do highly recommend it.

Best Sushi I have had in years! I've eaten in Asia and throughout Bancouver the USA and Toronto and this sushi is phenomenal! Excellent service, clean and pretty restaurant and decor and overall phenomenal experience. The rolls are massive and the menu is extensive and there are so many options. Also a good selection of Asian beer. A must go for anyone local or stopping through. By far the bear quality food in the cariboo and my new favorite restaurant!

Wow, this place is great. Right off the highway. Lots of good parking. Everything’s prepared beautifully. I’m always a little skeptical of sushi restaurants in the middle of the country as in not close to the ocean one I’ve actually eaten twice in three days here I had the dinner box with beef kind of stirfry noodles and then I had the chicken one today and I had a side of salad very nice.

Nice relaxing atmosphere with beautiful decor, food was great fresh and with a wide variety of flavors, the sashimi was delicious and were cut in nice large pieces. Desserts look awesome I will definitely be back to try them at some point.
