Sheldon Thomas

I’ve been here many times and have never once had bad service or food

Drasti Patel

Food was just okay not so great

Sydney Zieffle

Have been to Sakura twice now while visiting family in Cranbrook and both times I have been delighted. We typically order 4-5 rolls and share and the selection they have is awesome! The mixed tempura was also really great the last time we had it. We also ordered a "dessert sushi" for the first time (it was mango banana) and it was so good we had to order a second one. Service has been great both times as well. Will definitely try to go back next time we are in town.

Linda Smith

Nice place, good food, excellent service

Tony Baddeley

Big fan of the spicy seafood soup.

Rogue Trouble

It was my favorite sushi restaurant when I went through Cranbrook 5 years ago and it is still my favorite sushi restaurant ever this last trip through. I can't wait to get back to Cranbrook so I can eat at Sakura again.

I was in town for a work matter and found my way into this cozy sushi shop for dinner. As I was eating alone, I chose to sit at the bar but was initially offered seating of my choice (which is always nice). The food was fast, fresh, and very tasty. The sushi chef also prepared a little complimentary dish that was extremely good. Service was friendly, helpful, and didn’t pressure me at all despite hanging out, reading the news, and slowly making my way through one beer. Overall, a great location - will definitely visit when I return to Cranbrook!

Cam Robinson

Started with excellent service . Then excellent food! Very very good!!!

Jordan Peters

A bit more expensive, but it comes with the quality! Always great service, and always fresh and delicious food!

Jessica Krewenchuk

Good food.

Trevor Smith

Nice atmosphere, was surprised.

Ted Bryan

Good experience

Sae C

Just ok.

Chris Botterill

I always love coming to this place for a vegetarian sushi roll. It's a really great place to go if you are having a lunch meeting and even a better place if you just want to take out some sushi to eat at home. It has a very unique atmosphere inside and the food is prepared very well, you can tell they take the time to produce a quality product in the way that it looks and tastes. Just beware if you sit in one of the booths that the tables they have there have legs that are extreme Knee Bashers!

Jason Smith

Should learn to update the restaurants offerings in Google and their website. Advertised as all-you-can eat until you get there and your told all-you-can eat is no longer being offered. This is a bait and switch restaurant.

WeeeWriter

The food is great quality and the service is classy yet relaxed.

Alicja Wilson

Great customer service and the sushi is so delicious. Beautiful presentation and good prices.

Leanna Winter

Best sushi and the service is great. We have never had a bad meal there!

Granden and Myra Bertrand

Sakura is one of the best places in town to go for sushi. This time I had the little roll combo and an amazingly large bowl of miso soup. DELISH. The "boat" options are a favorite you really can't go wrong with them. Service is friendly and quick. I really enjoy the atmosphere and setting inside this place.

Mr L

Aside from not having their menu available online (other than Facebook). They did send me a copy to my e-mail, and I'm glad they did. The food is absolutely great! I would go back once the Pandemic is over to have the full experience, but for now the take out is well with three drive. Staff were friendly and the food was ready and fresh, still hot after the drive home. Thank you for making our "at home life" that much better. Cheers.

Kayla Pendry

Bulgogi was delicious.. dark table...good service

Chris Joseph

Firecracker roll is probably the best roll I've ever eaten, delicious! Great food, friendly staff

Angélique Parra

(Translated) A lunch full of flavors with service and a very pleasant setting. (Original) Un déjeuner plein de saveurs avec un service et un cadre très agréable.

Tomas Paul Santana

Food was good. Bought the lunchbox + Philadelphia rolls and they were excellent. It's always crowded with people tho

AzarathRavenRoth

Excellent food, great staff. Always make every order super fast, always accurate. Only sushi place in Cranbrook in my mind.

Andrian Fuksen Fam

Best sushi in town

Vanessa Schellenberg

Liz Royer

Kathy Smith

Good food, options if you don't like sushi

Cameron Rose

I love this place, excellent staff, great atmosphere and amazing food!

Rhonda Loggains

I've never had a bad experience here. Great tasting sushi!

Henry Hamilton

Excellent fair as usual. A bit pricier than most sushi houses.. But you can expect quality. They will bring in customer requests if you plan ahead!

Blacktail Ridge

Wonderful food, Great service, Private booths.

Joy Santos

Delicious sushi and presented so cutely on a boat! The restaurant atmosphere and decor was A+ as well. We had the "Love Boat" and the spider roll (on the left beside the tempura in the photo) was exceptional! Food was served super quickly too! I'd recommend this place to anyone.

Erik Jamik

Delicious food, great service....3 dollar beer night, what's not to like

B D

Excellent quality fish. Fish is imported fresh from Vancouver and it shows. Definitely on par with plenty of places in Vancouver, and not too expensive. Good flavor but rice could be a bit more sticky. Definitely recommend if you're looking for sushi in Cranbrook

Tyler Anderson

Always great food and awesome service

Alexandra Harrison

Always love the food here, it so fresh and delicious. The service is always great as well.

Bailey Hilton

Have been here numerous times in the past few months... Have had great experiences... Food has always been great. And absolutely love making memories here.

jake harach

Pricy but good

Richard Proctor

Best sushi joint in the small town of Cranbrook. Fresh and great selection, very good service & friendly staff

Nick Johnson (Tweetsies)

I come here often. More than I should, really. The food is great but expensive; the waitresses are friendly, do their job well, and always have good recommendations; the chefs are experienced, friendly, and will often treat you to a "special" roll if you sit at the bar (which is fantastic by the way, these guys often make the dining experience truly enjoyable). Just be ready to open your wallet. The best sushi in a four hour radius of Cranbrook certainly isn't cheap.

Ruse V

Sloppy rolls! But the staff are nice.

Shayan

Great!

Tara Cerny

Delicious bento box and great service !

Daniel Tillie

Lovely meal in a friendly place!

Liam Nish

Awesome sushi

It gud

Tracy Guenther

Love the food and the service is great !

Stuart Mason

A little expensive but good quality and service. Best Sushi in town

Kerry Shellborn

My go-to Sushi experience in Cranbrook. Sakura never fails to impress with quality Sushi. I usually go with a Nigiri combo, and if you are adventurous I highly recommend trying the “Kiss of Fire” which is a Sakura specialty.

Jennifer Turnbull

Delicious food and great service. Clean and comfortable setting. Nice atmosphere for a dinner with family or friends.

Terence Roberts

Good food, friendly staff.

Don't have a bad thing on their extensive menu. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Charlene Parr

Food is always amazing. Often busy, but they take reservations.

Tasha Kanigan

Quick take out service. Delicious sushi

Vincent Woodward

was my first sushi experience and wasnt dissapointed. luckily I had an aficionado with me and that help with the try this factor.

Andre Americo

Overall it's not bad, but don't order the chicken karaage, the portion is ridiculously small. Go to Rang Sushi instead. Better quality and fairer prices

Suzi Muirhead

Great sushi

King Bob

A little pricey, but the quality and taste makes up for it.

David Urquhart

Nice atmosphere, great service (Logan), and well-portioned sashimi made this a positive experience for us.

Favourite sushi restaurant in Cranbrook. Sushi is delicious and beautifully presented, and thw service is quick and non-intrusive

Melanie Dawn Whitnack

Great food and service!! One spot in town that all the locals repeatedly go to.

정맥스_JB

The Best!!!

G “Insert nickname here” D

Always good, always fresh, never smells like fish and that's a tell tale sign of freshness. They go through staff like crazy but Helen, the matriarch, is always there to greet you.

Craig Rogers

Love to eat there always full and taking leftovers home

Joelseph

Best sushi I've had and great price for the quality of food

Nikolas McCready

Good prices. Good service and amazing food!

Jonathan Hickle

Friendly staff with good sushi. Worth it.

Josh Abrey (Neighbours-o-Cranbrook)

Best dang sushi in the Kootenays, and that delivery guy's moustache is en pointe

Anthony Fleck

Sakura is always good

Lisa H

Nice little sushi place here. We had lunch and the fish was pretty good. I would go back again if we are in Cranbrook again.

dan r

Great food! However the child highchair saftey buckles are almost always broken or missing and the front entrance is not very accommodating of baby strollers and wheelchairs. I would love to see the highchairs repaired and make it easier for people to enter the restaurant.

Angela Vandenbosch

Awesome food, very accommodating when I go with my 2 year old.

Gerry Erickson

Food was good and service prompt.

Lindsay Grant

By far the best sushi in town, and the friendliest staff. I have always loved Sakura, but tonight really was amazing. I called 15 minutes before they closed praying I'd still be ok to order, she took my order kindly, and when I got there (10 minutes later) they had my order ready with a smile and a free magnet/bottle opener. I have never felt like a nuisance in this restaurant and their food is always top notch!

Evan Shellborn

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing people. I loved it! It is a little pricey though.

Kiara Armstrong

Fantastic service, amazing sashimi, great prices.

Chris Brach

We stopped in on our way back to Nelson. We were warmly welcomed. Food and atmosphere was lovely. Great service. Dani is really attentive and genuine. Thanks so much!

Alex Choursine

Great sushi. Huge chunks of fish on their rice. Friendly service.

James Lattimer

Nice place, good food and friendly staff

Wayne Smith

Had one of the best Japanese meals yet! Great service nice atmosphere. I will definitely be going back.

Nick Sullivan

Nice little place in heart of downtown. Got busy quickly at supper on a Friday, so make a reservation or get in earlier. Great menu variety, lovely presentation. Amount of crab in some of the rolls is a bit too much, actually! Lighting is a bit low, but wonderful spacing of tables in a smaller building.

Stacey Board

Always excellent sashimi, great service!

Val Rommus Daemones

From the decor, meals and even the staff. Everything is focused on being at highest standards possible.

Niall Curley

Probably some of the best sushi in the interior! This place goes above and beyond with every dish. Fantastic food, I eat here lots and would definitely recommend this if you're looking for an amazing meal!

Gracie Henker

Great food, but new owners were difficult to work for as proper training was not provided to new employees.

Professor J

Good food, popular and fast service.

Garth Wood

Perfect place for lunch. Quick and consistent.

Sid Gregr

Excellent food and very popular

Susie Ramstad

Reliable and very friendly. Great sushi and udon.

Antony Sebastian

Great customer service. Best sushi in town.

Chay Nali

Good food great service!

Mary-Elizabeth McGrath

Great food and ambience. Presentation of meals stunning. Short waiting times. Staff seemed a little run off their feet.

Nikki Luxton

Food was AMAZING! Eating area could be cleaner but the food made up for it.

Shelley Nicholls

I've given this place a few tries and never had good luck I'm sorry to say. The atmosphere is nice but I've not had luck with fresh sushi. When I was there last week my husband and I pulled all the seaweed out because it was old and chewy and the waitress noticed and said she would tell management but they didn't take any steps to accommodate or compensate.

Karolina Klimecki

Honestly the food was so good I had a feature bento box ???? and everything was perfectly made there was sushi in it, I don’t like sushi but I tried it and it was amazing I was surprised. My dad and I had great service and everyone was extremely friendly I recommend you go there.

N. Johnston

I have eaten at Sakura twice now, the reasoning for the 2 star rating is purely the customer service, which was awesome...the rolls not so much! I have had the Avocado Roll, Chicken Teriyaki Roll, Dynamite with Cream Cheese Roll and Sunset Roll. All of the rolls had a funny taste which was a total turn off, and some had suprise ingredients in or on them. The Dynamite with Cream cheese came with crab in it as well as fish eggs ontop which was not in the roll description, and the Sunset also came with crab in it as well as it being baked with mozzarella cheese, which again was not in the roll description. They were both in my opinion, disgusting and I couldn't finish either of them. The ingredients didn't blend well together, resulting in the rolls tasting off. Thankfully the waitress was understanding and was very accommodating, not to mention extremely nice!!! All in all, I don't think I will be going back to Sakura unless I am only planning on having the Tempura (which is delicious). Rolls are my favorite dish at a sushi restaurant and the 4 that I've had from Sakura were gross. I also think the pricing is a bit high for the quality of food that is produced. I would recommend Fubuki Sushi for an all around amazing Sushi experience!

Bernadette Bugiera

Sakura in Cranbrook has amazing ????!!!!!

Mathew Cook

The best sashimi in cranbrook

Justin Cleland

Pretty dern good sushi

Brandon Klima

Not a fan of sushi but I do enjoy the cooked alternatives! Lots of selection and friendly service. Just wish there was more to the desserts

I am a city girl, so I was like "what will Cranbrook sushi be like?" It was delicious! The atmosphere was also super lovely, they have some great decor in there. I was impressed :)

Jennifer McLennan

Good food

tammy martin

First time here. Staff are so very friendly and attentive. Food is mouth watering and you get your order in a timely fashion. Will be back for sure!!

Anette Hagman

Sooooo good. Never disappoints. Great staff, great food what more could you ask for. My favorite place for date night.

DeeAnn Robinson

My husband reckons this is the best place we've eaten while visiting Cranbrook. I have to agree. He had Teriyaki Eel. We shared shrimp and yam tempura which was perfectly done. I had the Rainbow roll, eel roll, and a side of seaweed salad. Glad I'd gotten the salad because the rolls were very rich. Delicious, but I could have used some pickled radish or something. For dessert my husband had deep fried mango ice cream and I had the ginger cake (also rich!). We decided we probably could have happily shared one or the other, but that didn't stop us from eating all of both. Lol.

Dawn Hale

My favorite place to eat in Cranbrook!! Has been for almost a year now. Always great food.

No No

Problem I have with so many places you want to see the menu you get a picture but no prices nothing really describing what the dish entails

Taliya Stepan

Amazing sushi....high prices

Daniel Hacker

The food was ok but definitely not the best

Jordain Brulotte

The best Sushi in the kootenays.

We usually order out but went in for lunch. Great food as always, our server was very nice and polite, and the restaurant is very clean which is nice to see for such a busy place.

Terrence Brown

Definitely the best sushi in town. However, the fish isn't is fresh as in the big cities; but I am definitely a repeat usually happy customer.

D3xZero

Excellent sushi, your chef staff are very well trained and experienced,

Frank Hetherington

Truly enjoyed eating here this evening. Three of us went for dinner. Two of us had bento boxes and one ordered an order of spicy salmon sushi and one spicy tuna. We all enjoyed our meals and with a side of kimchi and one of dumplings it was lots if food. Shared some ginger cake type dessert which came with a sweet sauce and some mango icecream. Service was good and always there when needed. Never seemed to be there pushing to order extra or looking to get us to order anything we had not decided we wanted.

Jolene Walker

Cute little place! Loved the deep purple roll...

Neil Gray

Beautiful food and friendly service. Spicy tuna rolls were excellent. Crab as part of the mixed tempura was a nice surprise. Eat here asap.

Here & There

I went here for takeout during Covid19. The quality of the rolls are very good. Thin thin layer of rice wrap around a generous ingredients. Price is expensive and you get what you pay for. Call ahead for take out as coin meter parking only at front.

Ken Qian

Ok

Delicious and well made sushi.

Mike Weitzel

Best sushi in town!

Warrington Agnew

Great for gluten free. All I can eat now

Wayne Klima

Kiss of fire is my favourite here. I've never had bad service or bad food. It's good!

Lisa Selinger

Had a fantastic lunch with my four-year-old daughter and husband. My daughter almost ate a whole dynamite roll herself! Thanks for sitting us by the front window, being so friendly and letting her pick out a paper crane! All the rolls we ordered were fabulous!

mike a

Best sushi I have had

Vikki Thomas

Best sushi in town. Reasonable prices too.

Taylor Tosczak

Great food and great service! ????

Maria Cooke

Exlent service

Roxanne Pruden

Absolutely delicious!! Very large selection of rolls and a great variety of other items if Sushi isn't necessarily your thing. Servers are professional and efficient, just be sure to check for peak times before you go! When they're busy, they are BUSY!!! Personal go to place when I'm treating myself lol!

TheIrongutz

Best Sushi in town! Fast, friendly and fresh with comfortable seating and trendy atmosphere.

Wayne Lapaire

A very busy kitchen even with Covid restrictions. The outdoor seating was popular. Food preparation and presentation was excellent. Not the lowest price, but good value none the less.

Ian Walks

Always fantastic food and outstanding service

Marisa Phillips

The food is always amazing and the atmosphere in the restaurant is beautiful. We had a staff dinner held there close to Christmas and they were incredibly accomodating. Definitely recommend!

Cory Lien

Very clean and beautiful decore. Amazing sushi. Best I've had in a long time.

necrobat22

Good service, great food and good portion size.

Shar Thompson

Love this this place best place ever for sushi.

Matt Kasdorf

"Grill" dinner for seven, four adults and three children, was less than $100. The food was simply amazing! This restaurant would easily survive the competition of a bigger city. We're not big sushi eaters, so we stuck to the menu and had everything from gyoza, to tonkatsu, and the standard beef teriyaki. The plates were fairly plentiful, but our only complaint would have to be how little rice we got with each item - we had to order two extra bowls of rice, and even those bowls weren't as full as hoped. If you get the kids chicken katsu "boat", make certain you get it without cheese (cheese chicken katsu?!?) and ask for more rice, as the amount given is miniscule for a pre-teen.

Boat Naked

Very nice.

Adrien Chabot

Love this place! Best sushi in town!

Richard Wilhorst

I love this place me and my spouse try to go hear at least once a month.If you dont like fish that make lots of different beef and chicken dishes as well.

Ron Cristensen

Food great! Service awesome!!

cheryl anderson

Incredible food! Decent prices!

Chad Fletcher

Great food and service. I suggest getting the Deep Sakura Roll and the Rocky Mountain Roll!

-J .R

Great service and sushi was phenomenal. Would definitely come here again

Andrew Mitchell

Amazing fresh food for a decent price really nothing to complain about friendly waitress compliments to the chef

Jay Blackmore

It's good sushi but not for its price.

Brodie Agretto

Best Sushi in town.

Shannon Taggart

Sakura Sushi and Grill is delicious. They have lots of vegetarian options and they are family friendly. I had the veggie Bento Box and it was fantastic. There was so much food and I shared it with my two year old daughter. The service was excellent and the ambience was really unique. If we pass through Cranbrook again, we will definitely be back again!

Ehmm Olson

Wow treat horrible because we did not have cell phone passports. We are 65 and have a land line and paper was not accepted.

Brian Jung

I normally dont leave reviews but I have to post this place is not more than a 2 star! Sashimi was way too frozen , nothing was fresh.. Chicken teriyaki was the worst .... Seriouly taste like frozen chicken...

Ken Baker

Good food and fast service

Laurel Woodill

Wonderful grub !!

Jason Shriner

Authentic and delicious.

Karman Tittemore

Lunch stop on the way back to Alberta. The Chirashi has really fresh sashimi and they even topped it with a tempura shrimp and some pickled parsnips. My husband had the lunch bento and that looked pretty good too! Lots of choices on the menu whether you’re a die hard “real” sushi (raw fish) or a casual sushi lover. Good ambiance and excellent service as well even though they were quite busy when we came here!

Robert Groleau

Really nice selection friendly service , sushi is great

Lynn Shin

It was the worst Japanese food ever I’ve tried! Sushi & Sashimi were not fresh and didn’t taste like a fish. Also bento box teriyaki looked like leftover food!! I will never go there again! :@

ben larsson

Great place with esquite food and perfect service

Glen Hagen

Foods always good, service was off tonight though. Wasn't checked in on once during the meal, be nice to not have to prompt service or ask for a refill when its obvious one is wanted.

Nicole Besler

It's been hard finding good sushi places in the Kootenays, but this one hits the spot! The staff are friendly and it's been easy to get take-out.

Courtney Kennedy

Super yummy!!

Gerri Burleigh logan1993

Awesome food great service lovely atmosphere this is my favorite place

Gary Brandt

We have been missed for the second time! There seems to be no-one managing the shift! Luckily a waitress saw that we weren't impressed and came over to ask if we'd been helped. She told us that nobody knew who's table we were at! Ok sushi if you don't mind the extremely long waits and overpriced food.

CHERYL OSTASH

Always a good experience.

CalWri

I have never experienced sushi quite as sweet as this, not just the sushi, everything tasted like sugar! Not in a very good way, it was like eating candy. Not what I was expecting and not for me.

Terry Chow

Good sushi for being in a small town.
