Sakura

Honestly, the best thing about this place is the all you can eat, but if you don’t finish everything they will not hesitate to charge you extra. The actual food was sub par at best. The sushi was decent. Our waitress was not rude but very, very forward with us. How the menu worked was unclear and I thought you ordered sushi by the number of pieces you wanted instead of by the roll, so the waitress decided to throw some shade my way and be like, «Oh, you want 16 rolls of sushi?!» I was over here like, «Um, excuse you. I may be whale sized and if I was spotted in the ocean I may be harpooned, but obviously I don’t want 16 rolls of sushi.» The teriyaki chicken was very low quality. It may have been teriyaki cat. I’m not really sure. Also, there were no spring rolls on the all you can eat menu which was very depressing, as spring rolls are my favorite item and a very common thing at Asian restaurants. I may go back if their prices lower or if one of my best friends is having a terrible day and begs me to go there with them. Cheers.

I went to the all you can eat lunch special. Firstly, you feel pressured because if you don’t finish your food, they charge you an ungodly extra amount. Our waiter had this overwhelming attitude that made me feel unwelcome. The music makes me feel like I’m at a ethnic hookah bar. Honestly the teriyaki chicken had me convinced that I was eating teriyaki disgusting. Overall sushi is decent, but everything else made me want to run away.

Great sushi. Everything was fresh and distinctly flavored. Service was friendly but a little slow. The price was just right. We enjoyed 3 rolls, 2 beers and one giant bowl of udon soup. We spent around $ 40. Best Udon soup I have had! This is my new go to sushi joint.

I would give less than one star but apparently that’s not possible. Went here for the «all you can eat» lunch for 12.95. I ordered five rolls and finished about three and a half rolls. The rolls were ok. One of the rolls i didn’t care for at all as it was full of fillers and very deep fried. I asked for my check and the server told me I had to finish my food. I of course thought he was joking. I told him I was full and didn’t particularly care for one of the rolls. He told me that I had to pay 12 dollars for each roll I didn’t finish. Again haha I thought he was joking. He finally brought me my bill which was for 28.95 and told me I was lucky because it should have been closer to 60 dollars. I’ve never heard of such nonsense but he assured me it was policy. They also threatened to call the police if I didn’t pay. What an experience. Save your money and go somewhere decent.

All you can eat is a great deal. Food was fresh and wait staff is helpful. Only complaint is I asked for a hot water with lemon and he brought it to me in a regular glass not a mug. It was kind of funny.

Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday to try the All You Can Eat Sushi special, we were surprised to find out that the all you can eat extended to other kitchen items and full entrees. We decided to stick with sushi, my wife and I both had a specialty roll which was surprisingly large, the regular rolls were also a good size and had a good amount of fish in it. We definitely got our moneys worth and were impressed with the quality for the price, this is the best all you can eat sushi we’ve found in the Lake Norman area.
The service was very friendly and made it a fun experience. The sushi is made fresh to order so it can take a little bit to get your food but worth the wait for the freshness.
The all you can eat dinner menu had even more options than the lunch, we’ll be back to check that out at some point.

I gotta say this is a good little find. You have to go in with the proper expectations but if you do it is TOTALLY worth it. Have done all-​you-​can-​eat lunch and dinner and have been pleased both times. Staff is friendly and attentive and the food is good. The menu has a couple of quirky items on it like the tempura kani, calamari and the bang-​bang shrimp. They are not very good in my opinion but that’s about all I care to say on that. The nigiri is good quality (hamachi, maguro, tamago, sake, kani, unagi and I am sure a few more) were presented well and tasted fresh. The rolls (spicy girl, salmon skin, spicy salmon, spicy tuna, sunshine) are all very good. Love the tempura shrimp and also the jalepeno hamachi appetizer. The interior is well-​appointed and comfortable. Overall this is a good little restaurant. I will return soon…

I actually was a bit worried with one or two of the reviews but it was really good. the value is great and you get to try a whole bunch of new things. Loved the udon. I wish the shumi and the wantons were not fried but steamed but they were still good. We also asked for a plain tuna roll and they were happy to get it for us. The only thing I did not like is the you have to eat it if you order it. I think the rule is a good one but if you dont like somethign like the tornado roll we ordered because it was to doughy, I really wish I did not have to finish it. They say if you dont finish it you will be billed for it. But all in all the best thing was the bill, about half of what it woudl ave cost me. We did the lunch and cant wait to try the dinner. Was not keen on the guy who kept walking through, at least stop and say hello if you are going to Marshall the place. The waitresses were so very nice. give it a try

We enjoyed our first dinner at Sakura last night. «Andy» greeted us and attended to our every need. We couldn’t get over the fact that they had such an extensive all-​you-​can-​eat sushi menu for only $ 19.95! We ate a ton… the food was fresh and delicious — the entire experience was excellent!

You cannot beat this place. $ 19.95 for all-​you-​can-​eat sushi ($ 12.95 during lunch hours!), and it includes all their specialty rolls. Usually, sushi places have a limited menu for half-​price sushi during certain «happy hour» times, so it’s great to have somewhere where everything is included, all the time, for one price, AND you can get as much as you want. Great sushi and great service.

The «all you can eat» idea sounds good but the owner is crapping back to make more money for sure, the volcano roll was full of rice and fillers — barely any fish. Anything is fired was heavily breaded. The best part was my child ordered an Japanese bubble drink, after she cranked it she saw the dates on the bottle was expired. We brought it up to our server, after she consulted the owner, they have decided that was the «manufactured date». I’m skeptical on this since there’s no words «manufactured» or «bottled» dates. Personally I think what you spend you can still get descent food at regular sushi place but with quality food. No plans on going back!

This place is great! We were greeted by an awesome waiter, Freddy. They explained the menu and then the «other menu» which is $ 19.95 all you can eat. You cannot go wrong. Best sushi I’ve had in the area and all you can have for 20 bucks!
The food is top notch. Great service. So happy this opened so close to home.
Say hello to Freddy and I’ll be here every week! And the Sake selection is great to which makes me even happier!
