Sakura Sushi Bar & Grill in Lafayette

Tasty food - terrible experience. Slow service. Mixed up orders, they put two people’s orders on one plate and did not offer a second plate. Did not offer soy sauce. The smallest chirashi bowl offered at any sushi restaurant I’ve ever been to. They don’t tell you the price, then tell you to pick whatever you want for the fish (every bowl I’ve ever had has been chef’s choice). Price for two rolls, “chirashi bowl,” and shrimp fried rice? $75. Souvenir from the place? My husband broke off a piece of his tooth in the not-quite-cooked rice. Mom and son were busy not-so-quietly bickering through the duration of our meal - no doubt part of the reason we were pretty much forgotten about. To top it off, the kitchen (which we didn’t see until we paid), was a mess. Will never go back.

Avg at best. The venue is very small and the tightness is compounded by the restaurants popularity. We had to wait for a table, which lasted only 5 - 10 min, but could have been longer because the service is extremely slow. It seems there are only three people that were working. Two took orders, got drinks, cooked the food, was cahiers, and bussed the tables ... That's a lot. While the third made the sushi. On to that: the sushi was average at best. It wasn't bad, but the rolls left some to the imagination. I only had two rolls of the 30 or so to choose from, so I'll certainly return to try my luck at another, but do not have high expectations.

The sushi is incredible, even the healthier options. This has been our go to for years and the quality has always been excellent. It is slightly more expensive than other options in the area, but is most definitely worth the difference. The live music is always great and we love requesting songs for the pianists. My top choice in the area for sushi.

I really wanted to love this place. I took my daughter here for her birthday, and the food was cold (it was the teriyaki chicken plate). It was extremely over priced and they charged $5 for a lemonade that they didn’t even refill at all. I’m so disappointed and not to mention my husband and daughter have been getting sick since about 2 hours after we left. Never again.

I ordered the sushi. This was at the tail end of Covid-19 pandemic so I was the only one sitting in but there was a lot of people coming in to pick up orders. The sushi is a little small and the rice was a little off and the cost was a little pricey but not bad. If come here again. The atmosphere and potential of a good socializing spot is definitely inside. Please check them out for yourself. Also please help out my account by liking my reviews and pics. Thanks everyone!
