Sakura Restaurant and Sushi Bar

Sakura is a pretty decent place. I’ve tried this place twice and I am glad I did because my second visit was a lot better than my first.
I came in and sat in the dinning area. They also have the side with Hibachi, which I’ve noticed is pretty big in the Gulf Coast. I ordered:
The Ron Roll with Tuna — Decent sized, not fishy and very good!
Veggie Rolls — Can’t go wrong with a vegetable roll
I also got the Lunch Salmon Teriyaki — Nice sized Salmon. Grilled nicely and not overly sauced. The skin, OMG, I LOOOOOOOOOOVE when there is salmon skin on the fish and its crispy!!!
The service was sweet! I don’t recall her name (I always do that smh) but she was very attentive even tho she had a few tables to take care of. Drinks were always refilled. Even the owner (maybe?) or the guy at the front was so nice and welcoming and like I’ve said, when you’re happy to be there, I AM HAPPY to be there.

I have driven by this resturant for years and finally tried it out. Miso soup was the best I have had on the coast. Definitely trying this place again and trying different dishes.

Very decent lunch specials for reasonable prices. You get plenty of food, even some veggies. Yes, please! My sole complaint is that the only utensils included in my bag was chopsticks. Yes, I do know how to use chopsticks (with some effort) but if I order one lunch special to go, it’s probably because I’m in a hurry to get back to work and don’t have time to sit and pinch my food.

I got veggie rolls and they were great but I ended up with food poisoning. Very dissapointed in that aspect.

I usually don’t eat at random sushi restaurants since I have a favorite but had to go here today with a client since she wanted to try this place. The service was slow and my food came out almost cold. The soup was bland and the sushi was falling apart. I would not come back… ever.

Very fresh sushi. Waitress is very nice. When we first sat down, they provide hot towel to clan your hands. Menu full of variety. Soba is good, out of expectation. Better than in California.
I don’t think I would have a chance to come back since it is so far away from me, but I would like more people know about this place.
They also have grill station.

Really enjoyed the vibe of this establishment. The only problem is I had to get it to go. No time to sit and enjoy the warmth of the Hibachi grill and décor. But for sure I will come again to sit. I got the spicy crunchy tuna, unagi and soft she’ll crab rolls. For apperts I got the vegetables tempura. Will follow up on the food review once my palate is clean.

We went for our anniversary dinner the food and service we’re absolutely amazing. We did the hibachi and our Chef Anthony was great very talented and sociable. We will be back!

Rhonda was a great server. Very attentive and sweet. Anthony was a fabulous chef. He got me to try their new black pepper sauce which was delicious. I really enjoyed my meal and it was a fun experience. I also was happy that they give a military discount and often have specials. I will definitely be back!

We had an excellent meal with superior service and military discount. The fried dumplings appetizer were deeeeelicious! The Sakura house salad was like no other Japanese restaurant, and I always order salads with ginger dressing. This one had crab, and some amazing small crunchy ginger pieces. The sushi rolls were amazing, fresh and large. The miso soup was not watered down at all. Our waitress was awesome and helpful.

High prices plus tiny portions means I won’t be coming back. Went with a friend for dinner tonight and paid @ $ 15 for three of the dinkiest little rolls you’ve ever seen. Hardly any rice outside of them and they fell apart easily. You can get much more for your money just about every other place that serves sushi on the coast, especially Samurai or Yuki’s. The food was good, but entirely overpriced for what they gave.

Dan & I like it here:) they’re friendly but orders do take longer than normal

Sakura is in my opinion is pretty good. There are plenty options for Japanese food on the Gulf Coast. I think Sakura stands out from the rest because they have «cool» dishes to eat on. The salad bowls kinda lean on it’s side…
The service is good and fast. They have affordable lunch specials. Also, and most important the dining rooms are clean.
They are a solid 4 stars. Thanks

We only had sushi, not teppanyaki when we went. Unilocal had them listed as being open before 5pm on Saturday but they actually opened at 5pm but that was ok as it was worth waiting.
We were greeted at the door and seated promptly. Our waitress was attentive and fun to talk with, we had a great report with her the entire meal. Service was excellent and all of our questions were answered and food suggestions were great.
We didn’t order the Ron Roll everyone raves about because neither of us were into shrimp. However everything else was amazing. Sushi, sashimi, and quail eggs tasted fresh and very flavorful. The rolls were well made and super tasty.
We highly recommend this delicious restaurant.

OMG, I’ve been coming here since they initially opened! I know the owners and they’re awesome people! :) even better, we love around the corner from each other so endless food!!! Lol

Sushi was what I would expect on the gulf. Ok, nothing to write home about. Although the squid salad was excellent. Service was great. Sat @ the little sushi bar & the Japanese lady was awesome. My green tea never got below half a cup.

I went with a group of guys who wanted teppanaki, they did their thing and I ordered sushi off the menu. Based on the constant reviews to try the Ron Roll, I did. I also ordered a volcano roll and salmon nigiri.
Maybe I’m picky, or maybe I just really wanted to not amused by my eyes (teppanaki…). But I really wasn’t in love with this place. Let me put it out there, this place makes a great Ron Roll. It was delicious and beyond tasty and was great to offer to the first time sushi eater at the table BUT the California roll we ordered for said first timer was akin to grocery store roll (both taste and appearance) and the Volcano roll.
Wow. Let’s discuss the sadness behind this Volcano roll. I tend to blame my husband for my love for the volcano roll and how every sushi joint makes it a bit different, but on average the ones that bake them really seem to taste the best. Here however it was baked, but the sushi beneath was reminiscent of the California roll we ordered and lacked so much flavor, the topping was baked — yes, but it was placed on top of cold sushi, so the two never «merged», rather I had cold plain sushi underneath and hot/​baked volcano topping on top.
So, if you’re used to higher grade sushi, I’d skip this. I might suggest ordering that Ron Roll to go. Sorry Biloxi, lets see what else you have to offer.

We were tooling around Biloxi looking for a place for lunch and Sakura popped up on the Unilocal map. It was a little out of the way in a strip mall, but with the good reviews, we thought to give it a try. It didn’t look very promising on the outside, but inside was very nice and clean. Who knew there’d be decent sushi in MS? But if you roll it, they will come!
The sushi chef seems very innovative and created a unique menu. There’s a big choice of specialty rolls, and most are different from what we’re used to back home. We started with miso soup & salad, pretty standard. I have to comment about their choice of dishware which was sort of unusual. The salad bowl was like a biased cut egg like the chair that Will Smith sits in to take the test in Men In Black. Segue over, we had the Ron and Mac rolls, both excellent and followed by lunch special bentos that were a great deal and very tasty. My wife had the Chirashi and liked the freshness of the fish.
If we find ourselves down that way again, we’ll definitely be back for dinner!

Sakura Restaurant and Sushi Bar is a great place for some surprisingly fresh and tasty sushi!
I’ll be honest, when you pull up to the strip mall and survey the restaurant from the parking thought the first thought in my head was «Oh great, strip-​mall sushi here we come…» but to my surprise it was actually really, really good.
The service was attentive, prompt, and friendly. The sushi was tasty, fresh, and presented quite well. The pricing was good considering we’re in the middle of Biloxi and also considering how fresh it was!
Overall, this place was really good stuff, I’ve not eaten at other sushi joints in Biloxi but I don’t think I’ll need to.

The best japanese food in biloxi/​gulfport area! The service is always good here. It’s a small place but they know their sushi. It’s a quiet atmosphere as opposed to the Sake Cafes I’m used to in the New Orleans area. The have some really good sushi here.
Some of my favorite sushi offerings:
— All their sashimi (lol)
— Blackened tuna roll
— Ron roll
— Spicy Crawfish roll
— Red Dragon roll
Their menu is extensive: dumplings, egg rolls, soups, salads, steak, shrimp, scallops, soft shell crab, salmon, pork, udon.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
