Customer Reviews
2 to 3 years ago, Sakura was legit one of the better AYCE spots in the Tri-State area. Whether it was food from the sushi bar, kitchen, or even the dessert which is only available during dinner. However, on my most recent trip a year ago, the quality had fallen off. I don't know if something was off that day, but considering the distance I had to travel to get here, I wasn't willing to take my chance again. They have a good selection of items from both the sushi bar and the kitchen. No matter what, you need to try their chicken skewers. Absolutely delicious. Hope they get their quality back. Their service is on the friendlier side compared to other AYCE locations. Overall, you can get a tasty meal here at Sakura if it's the Sakura I remember. And being located in Delaware, no taxes on your bill! My biggest gripe with Sakura is limiting each customer with 50 pieces of Sashimi. An AYCE should be AYCE without such restrictions. And in my many trips here, despite there being a limit on sashimi, they never give you what your order. For example, I order 20 pieces of yellowtail sashimi, but I only get 5. The sushi bar needs to be more accurate with their orders.
The service was good. The Shrimp Tempura and the Avocado salad were good. The sushi didn't hold together well, despite the cream cheese. Too many unnecessary fillers in the sushi. I would not order the Spider Roll again. I did not like the shredded artificial crab. The saki tasted okay, but was weak. The wasabi was very good.
Sushi is pretty good. $30/ person after tip and tax for all you can eat. Non sushi items such as fried rice and age tofu are below average though. We only recommend getting sushi! Our waiter was attentive. Overall 4.5/5.0. The 0.5 is for non sushi items not so great and they don’t have sashimi.
If you are hungry and crave sushi, this is the place to be, an AYCE Japanese buffet for a reasonable price. In fact, it is a bargain if you have a big appetite. Of course you are not getting Michelin quality sushi from this place, but the quality is fine for the average person. They have lots of customers and this helps to keep their food fresh. We started going to this place when it was $13.95 per person. Food prices have gone way up and so is this place. I still think that it is reasonable for a sushi buffet.
All you can eat Sushi for under $30 per person. The sushi was pretty decent even if the rolls were a little loose, The rice was tender and well flavored. Highlight for me was that sashimi is included in all you can eat (up to 50 prices). The only area for improvement so far as the facility goes, the booth seats were Very hard and uncomfortable. The bathrooms were clean. Service was excellent.
