Sakura Sushi & Grill 200 Kanoelehua Avenue, Hilo, HI 96720

"Ohhh my goodness! Sakura restaurant is absolutely the BEST for local kine Japanese food! Their sushi bar with on any given day has original, one of a kind sushi made fresh in front of you are scrumptious. The chef takes different, yet delicious ingredients, rolls them up and the ever efficient serving staff deliver them to your table (or you can sit at the sushi bar and watch!) for you to enjoy. You will never need to wait for a server to bring whatever it is you may want. They are extremely attentive. Prices are very reasonable and make reservations!"

"My husband, kids, and I ate here on an early Saturday evening recently. We visited after a fun day at Carlsmith Beach, so our attire was very casual. We were seated immediately walking in, and the server was prompt in greeting us and bringing us waters. Our kids ate food a short time earlier somewhere else, so my husband and I shared three speciality sushi rolls at this establishment- a volcano roll, lava flow roll, and a Tati roll. All three rolls were phenomenal! My mouth still waters thinking about the taste. The cost was $50 for all three rolls, which we felt was a great price. We would go back again, and if you haven’t tried their food yet, you definitely should! As a side note, I took a picture after we started eating the sushi. The sushi was plated beautifully!"

"Delicious food, prices are very reasonable for the quality and amount of food you get. It is usually busy so anticipate 15-20 min wait. It is so worth it!"

"This place is diamond. Amazing service and the food is delicious. My husband and I shared the Captain boat and it was so flavorful. The presentation was so cute because it's a little boat. The steak that was on it was melt in your mouth. The entire feast from the sushi, sashimi, and chicken. I can't rave enough. Don't sleep on this place. We'll be back."

"Sushi place with good service and friendly staff. The food was good, the quality of the ingredients was excellent but nothing remarkable in the flavor department. Nothing sets this place apart from others. If you want good food and good service which doesn’t stay away from what is expected from a sushi place check this out. I would do 4.5 stars but google don’t give that option."
