Sakura in Germantown is by far the best sushi in the Memphis area. My husband and I come from California where the sushi is rarely disappointing. We were nervous when we first moved here, that it wouldn’t compare. And at first, it didn’t. We tried Benihana’s, Shogun’s, Blue Fin and every location for SekiSui between Cordova and Downtown Memphis, and they are all average and nothing to write home about. Then one day we were turned onto Sakura and it has been our favorite place ever since.
What sets them apart from other Sushi joints, is their cleanliness and their portion sizes. HUGE!! So huge that one night we ordered 5 rolls and we were seriously sick for days. But it was a good thing, the food was so darn delicious that I couldn’t stop eating! The waitress even warned us that we were ordering too much food, but we went with it anyhow. Their portion sizes are double than other places and for the same price. Now we order 2-3 rolls and even have some leftover to take home and the bill isn’t anymore than 50 bucks and that included a couple rounds of sake. My favorites are The Bubba Roll and the Joyce Roll.
My only complaint about this restaurant would be that they aren’t open on Sundays and we always seem to have a problem with our table being wobbly. The staff is always friendly, and we enjoy our usual waitress, Betty, she always remembers us.
