Sakura Express

There’s been a couple times my food came out mediocre but overall I love this place. When I lived in Maumee I went once (maybe twice) a week! Hibachi steak is bomb, shrimp/​chicken/​beef teriyaki dishes are all bomb! Sushi is so so! Customer service is blah but the food makes up for it ;)

This is the best express food in Toledo. Even though it is called express, the food are fresh made. Hibachi steak is one of my favorite, and the steak is juicy with great flavor. Tempura rolls are delicious. I think Sakura is a great place to dine in or Cary out.

I ordered the shrimp fried rice and spicy tuna rolls. They were both really good. As well, I recommend the yum yum sauce (orange sauce). The sauce is absolutely to die for when drizzled on both dishes.

We walked in, and there was only a teenage girl at the counter alone. I was a bit nervous at this point (not that teenage girls can’t create great sushi but…) We order anyways.
For sushi, we had California roll, Philadelphia roll, spicy tuna, and a salmon and avocado roll. The spicy tuna was awful. It was mushy, and not spicy at all. the rest was good, I would go back for those.
We ordered my 5 year old noodles, expecting them to be chow mein noodles. They were spaghetti (seriously, freaking spaghetti???), covered in a light sauce. She promptly described it as the «most disgusting noodles ever»
My 8 year old had the chicken bento box. It came with the same strange spaghetti noodles. Aside from those, the chicken was delicious.
The husband ordered steak and white rice. It’s hard to screw that up, and it was good as well.
The edamame was good. The miso… well I’d rather have a packet of instant miso from Trader Joes.
Overall, I’d go back, but I would skip the noodles, spicy tuna roll, and the miso.

Maybe my expectations were high because of the rave reviews here & I can not speak for the other meals but the sushi and my experience were both decent. Both of my rolls were pretty sloppy and hard to grasp with my chop sticks because of this. Still, for 4.50 a roll I don’t regret the trip! I will probably be back to try some other things.

I have become a weekly customer here. The food is awesome and all of the staff is great too! We always get the hibachi steak with a side of shrimp and it just gets better every week!!!

This concept is great — takeout sushi; convient and decent priced. Most combos are ~ $ 7. Sushi rolls are about $ 5 – 10. Have not had a bad item. Teriyaki they put in chix, shrimp, and beef is spot on not too sweet not too salty. The veggies (cabbage, broccoli) that come with combo are great on their own. A step up from fast food. Sometimes busy at dinner time. Serve urself sauces at side-​counter. Give it a Whirl.

I ordered the teriyaki chicken and shrimp with a side order of the shrimp tempura rolls. I honestly came here because I was craving for teriyaki chicken but when my order came it was more of a peppered chicken and shrimp than teriyaki. It was okay, but next time I’m craving teriyaki I will not be coming here. They didn’t even have teriyaki sauce only sweet soy sauce. On the other hand the shrimp tempura rolls were actually pretty decent.

Make sure to get the super bento box! You can drown your regret (from eating it all) in their delicious yum yum sauce.

Great place! fast, cheap and delicious food.

Not impressed… I ordered the teriyaki beef and it was more like peppered beef. I had to add my own teriyaki sauce from home. The «vegetables» that is included in the meal were 90% cabbage. Inexpensive meal but not Asian.

My wife and I had this recently. For the most part, it was a decent experience. We split a chicken and shrimp teriyaki meal and a shrimp tempura roll. I’ll start with the sushi. For a $ 4.50 roll, you get 5 big pieces of pretty good sushi. I felt there was a lot of value in the sushi aspect. The teriyaki meal, however, was a little lackluster. The chicken, shrimp and rice didn’t seem to be much more than I could expect from the Chinese or Japanese eateries in the mall. Surprisingly, the star of the meal was the cabbage/​stir-​fried veggie medley. It was very good and had great flavor. Lastly, the service was underwhelming as the person at the register made no effort to be pleasant and seemed to hate their job. If you have the opportunity to go to Sakura’s main location, it’s worth it, but this place will work in a pinch as well.

Excellent Japanese hibachi style .main dish served with choice of rice and sautéed vegetables. inexpensive and very fresh. My go to is the beef /​shrimp teriyaki style with fried rice.

Very good fresh hibachi style Japanese food. It’s inexpensive and really delicious! I got the shrimp and brown rice teriyaki. I will be back for sure!

I thought the prices were good. Food was tasty. The Rolls aren’t super big but the price matched the size. It allowed us the chance to try a few different ones. The place was very clean considering the traffic.
