Sakura

Sakura in Akron, Ohio is hands down one of the best sushi spots around! The scallop and toro nigiri were absolutely to die for — incredibly fresh, buttery, and perfectly prepared. You can really taste the quality in every bite. We also ordered the Golden Dragon Roll and the Kings Roll, and both were amazing. The flavors were perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and packed with freshness. Every roll tasted like it was made with care and attention to detail. If you’re looking for top-tier sushi in Akron, this is the place!!

01/28/2026: Came back for a 3rd time for another birthday dinner celebration. Great place and great service. The only negative is they need gnat catchers placed discreetly somewhere. We saw a few the last time and there was a few hanging around again. 01/2026: Our second time here and truly enjoyed it! Came here for a birthday celebration and everyone got something different and each was satisfied with their meal.

Sakura was amazing! I got the Jalapeño Yummy Roll and it was seriously so good — super fresh with a solid kick. My girlfriend got the Rainbow Roll and loved it too. Everything tasted fresh and came out fast. The vibe was chill, the staff was super nice, and the sushi looked as good as it tasted. Definitely coming back here again!

Sushi is incredibly fresh. Also, a good selection as well. The curry sauce was also very good. The place is really small and very popular. But surprisingly, it is fairly quiet. The staff here is exceptionally friendly, like 10/10 they make the trip. The drinks here are also very well balanced and refreshing. I believe this is the best Japanese restaurant I've tried in the akron area so far. There is also a parking lot out front that is huge. You will always find parking, and it seems the restaurant always has a table available. The serves cleaned down a table next to us in less than 3 minutes, so you will not wait long.

Sakura is a hidden gem that’s perfect for sushi lovers looking for a wide variety of options in a cozy setting. The menu is vast, catering to every craving, whether you're a sushi aficionado or new to Japanese cuisine. From classic rolls to unique, creative combinations, there’s something for everyone. The rolls themselves are wonderfully fresh and flavorful, with each bite bursting with the perfect balance of ingredients. Whether you prefer traditional flavors or something a little more adventurous, Sakura Sushi delivers on taste every time. The drinks—both alcoholic and non-alcoholic—are equally delicious, offering a refreshing complement to the meal. The service here is impeccable. Despite the restaurant's smaller size and how quickly it fills up, the staff is efficient, friendly, and attentive. They make sure to get orders out promptly without sacrificing quality, and you never feel rushed. While it can get busy, the wait is always worth it. Sakura is a great spot to enjoy a tasty, satisfying meal in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. If you’re in the mood for sushi, this place should definitely be on your radar!

Hands down our favorite restaurant of all time. Favorite drink of all time- cherry blossom. Everything about this place is excellent.

My family and I have been coming here for years now. The quality of the food is always great, every waiter I’ve had has been very kind, and the vibes here are great. The quality of their fish is also great. I love this place so much

Came here for the first time with my fiancé and the food was great! You won’t be disappointed. I got the steak teriyaki dinner box.
