Best Sushi In Memphis!!!. If you haven't been to Sakura, you must go. It is the best Sushi in the Memphis area. I went to college in Jackson, TN where the original Sakura is located and I ate there all the time. Since graduating and moving to East TN, I have been looking for a sushi resturant that could even compare. Recently moved to Memphis and found out there was a Sakura here and I could not be happier. Again, you must go. Once you have tried this place, no other place can compare. I recommend the Joyce roll and the crawfish roll. Amazing!!!

Excellent casual Japanese. My wife and I really enjoyed our first visit to Sakura. The Sushu rolls were excellent. The Salmon nigiri was the best that I have ever had in the memphis area.

Service was good. Casual atmosphere. Nothing fancy.

No idea what a previous reviewer was talking about... there are tons of great "upscale" restaurants in the Memphis area. This place is not one of them. But I recommend it as a good choice for Japanese cuisine. Probably some of the better sushi in town.

Maybe there's hope in Memphis. We have a tough time finding decent and perhaps upscale food (upscale does not mean high price !) food in the Memphis MSA. Memphis just doesn't have much. This place is located in a nice suburb of Germantown, east of the city of Memphis- even Germantown does not have many places besides chain cra*p, but SAKURA is excellent, it has no competition because everybody seems to serve bs food because it gets accepted easily ! this place is a pleasure to visit, owners with great attitudes, great service, and fresh food, what's not to like about that ?

YUM-O. Best sushi in town!!! Joycee roll is to die for. I crave it...that's how good it is. Staff is excellent. They always warn you that it take quite a few minutes to make the Joycee roll. I appreciate their hospitality. I will drive all the way to Germantown every day just for Sakura sushi!!!!

Best nigiri and tied for best rolls in Memphis area!. Very good and creative rolls, and the quality (freshness) of the nigiri/sashimi is very good. Prices are very good and the portion sizes are large. Good service. Highly recommended!

Xtreme creative specialty rolls. Pacific Rim was my favorite sushi spot until finding Sakura again out in Germantown. Great place for eight+ piece rolls, very reasonably priced. It looks expensive until you realize just how much food you are getting per roll. More specialty rolls than I have seen anywhere else, try the Joyce and Sake rolls...

Other s0-called upscale Memphis restaurants LOSE. Some other Memphis restaurants should take notice about this place ! Just great innovative adn fresh food and great sushi as well. If other newcomers to Memphis are sick and tired of bad Mexican, lousy chain food, and other chains like P.F. Chang which masquerades as 'Chinese', then just go to Sakura in Germantown. Thank god Germantown has something that's not a chain...finally !
