What People Are Saying About Sakura Restaurant & Sushi Bar
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Owner Miyoko Omori greets guests at the door of her highly praised sushi restaurant. The pretheater crowd packs the small sushi bar and two-story dining room on weekend nights. The lower level features elegant Japanese decor and offers modern seating, plus traditional tatami mats, while the upstairs loft is simpler, with basic decor and a few tables. Exquisitely prepared Japanese dishes focus on light, crispy tempura, tender broiled beef teriyaki and nigiri and rolls.
Great service, great sushi
by TripleM
Made a reservation at Sakura and showed up late due to traffic. Not only that, but we were going to a show at the Ordway, so we told the host that we only had about 40 minutes. He was very accommodating and prioritized our order. We were very appreciative to have received such great service. On top of all that, the sushi was some of the best I’ve had in the Twin Cities. The restaurant itself is unique and inviting. Can’t think of anything negative to say about this place, other than the fact that it is in downtown St Paul, which is too far away from me to afford me the ability to dine here frequently.
- Pros: Great service
YummY!

Favorite Sushi Restaurant in Twin Cities
by duckapoo
Sakura is by far my favorite sushi restaurant in the Twin Cities area, and I have been to quite a few. Compared to others, the food is just as great if not better but more affordable. Since it is in St. Paul (hence, more low-key), it is almost never too busy to accommodate walk-ins (I've only made reservations once) and the food is very authentic, offering not only great sushi and sashimi plates but also bento boxes, shabu shabu, tempura, yose nabe, and other Japanese dishes. And the service, contrary to what some reviewers have said, has always been superb. Highly, highly recommended to all my friends.
- Pros: Parking (meters free @ night), Service, Sushi, Price
- Cons: Quieter (if you're looking for a more happenin' place, go downtown or uptown)
