Sakura Bana

I had high expectations for Sakura Bana after the change in ownership, but I couldn’t have been more disappointed. We ordered the Sushi for Two,and it was far from being worth $60. Both the sushi and the rice were incredibly dry and lacked flavor. I highly recommend visiting Umami instead—same price, but significantly better quality and a much larger variety of sushi.

Can't rate this place high enough!! I've been going for close to 10 years and I've never been let down. A very large selection, all of which is simply delicious. It's so hard to find Japanese food other than sushi around here. Of course, their sushi is incredible as well. I just went a few days ago and am thinking of all the things I want to order next. I love the quiet traditional seating area. Two things I almost always have to get are agedashi tofu to start and red bean ice cream to end!

Stopped in for lunch with a co-worker to check it out as neither of us had been here. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Clean looking restaurant. Ordered one of the bento style lunches. Food was good and arrived quickly. Definitely recommend stopping in if you have a chance.

They were bought by another company and the quality of the food has declined, the menu is also super tiny now. I can't recommend this anymore Below was my previous review: The food is amazing here! I highly recommend the sukiyaki with udon noodles. The sushi is top quality and really delicious. Much better than other restaurants downtown.

I tried this Japanese food here for the first time, and the food was so good. I tried the lunch combo, which included tempura, sushi, rice, soup, and salad, and it was filling for one person. I really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere there was also good. I still miss the Japanese ambiance, but I absolutely love it and will definitely visit again someday. The location is on central Omaha, at the intersection of Dodge and 72nd, making it easily accessible. The price is also reasonable.
