We've gone here the last 5 years. Absolute great staff each and every time. We make reservations, especially for our party of 12.Drinks: Good wine selections. For lunch they have box lunches with little compartments for each food item. Meals are discounted at lunch prices. Get their Jasmine tea!! This is no ordinary baged tea. They make it in the back in batches and it's serves in a mug. It's one of the best tea's I've had at a sit down restaurant. Usually you get a tea bag where you steep it yourself...not here. Plenty of menu options. This is no run of the mill Chinese/Oriental restaurant. White table clothes, beautiful, artistic wall decor, modernized. The owner is a great, well-known gentleman in the area. Our favorite roll (sushi roll) is the sweet potato. My favorite dish is the Pad Thai. I get mine with chicken. Always a good time :)Thank you

Iâve been away for awhile - and 1/2 price Monday sushi night is not to be taken lightly, nor for granted ever again. It was not a common practice where I spent the last two years and I, along with my taste buds and wallet, missed the evening terribly. I know what Bourdain would say about Monday night sushi night, but I think if he knew the pain I felt at being deprived of the delicious and economical Monday evening at A1, I think heâd cut me some slack.Service is still top notch here and the sushi rolls are as I recall, as I loved them. And after 6 rolls and 4 individual sushi orders (I kept my server hoppinâ), the food loved me back. Great spot to unwind or to do business - or both, frankly, and the soup/salad still good, and the soft shell crab app, while decent, is still being beat (but only in second place) by a competitor right down the road. Atmosphere still solid, too and the place was jumpinâ at 445pm. Had I arrived any later, I would have had to wait for a seat. Still ... highly recommended.

Many of us hardcore foodies have followed chef/icon Anthony Bourdain's various rules of sushi do's and don'ts and days to order/not order for over a decade now. But I think even Bourdain himself, if he were still with us, would come to North Canton for a Parts Unknown episode (Canton is a *tad* unknown, don't argue with me) and listen to me, alongside a few other locals, explain why it's MORE than just 'okay' to order 1/2 price sushi ALL DAY on Thursday at Sakura - it's actually a DARN GREAT idea for three simple points: 1. the sushi does not taste like 1/2 price sushi (which is often close to that mediocre edible, but bland all-you-can-eat buffet sushi) 2. Sakura's Thursday selection is varied, well-presented, efficiently and attentively served and 3. it's affordable and there are other options for 1/2 price, such as shumai, miso soup, and salmon skin salad, to name a few. Smash all three of those reasons together and I think Bourdain would agree we have a case for gathering friends and loved ones together to treat ourselves to Thursday ALL DAY Half Price Sushi (noting Monday is also available.)I love the open floor plan of Sakura (which shares a building with a Subway and sits in the formerly well-attended but now defunct Mexican restaurant Chips-N-Salsa) and that surprised me. I have MANY memories of Chips but this did not impact my enjoyment of Sakura in any way - which is not only evidence of how much I've grown as a foodie and person, but a testament to the sushi, service, and ambiance of Sakura.The Thursday we chose randomly was on a cold night in the dread of an early, snowless January, but the place was packed. All ages of couples, families, business associates and groups of friends gathered together to revel in our sushi convictions. It was a beautiful evening.The miso soup had that extra salty kick I love and while the banana tempura roll was completely new and of an off/odd texture to me, I still tried it and loved it - as well as the best shumai I've had in a decade (at least), and an extremely well-proportioned salmon skin salad. I only wanted the hot tea to be stronger.Highly recommended.
