This place is probably one of the best sushi restaurants in all of Alaska! They started us with the richest miso soup I’ve ever had! Very creamy and kinda makes all other miso soups taste very diluted. We ordered the calamari with a green aioli which was EXQUISITE. The calamari by itself was just okay but with the aioli? ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. One of the best calamari in the state. Next we did pairs of regular salmon nigiri and then Alaskan White King Salmon. The regular was thick and melted in your mouth. The white King was okay, probably wouldn’t order again because it was pretty bland. We finished with the Sakoro steaks which were super tender. I liked mine dipped in soy sauce because the truffle sauce they had with it was way too strong and overpowering. Overall an awesome experience and our server Clinton was absolutely amazing. I do plan on returning soon :).

The garlic butter steak bites were INCREDIBLE. Seating isn’t the most comfortable – it’s a large community table with a few booth options – but service was wonderful and food was delicious!

Food was well prepared and fresh, although not outstanding. The service was very good and attentive to a shellfish allergy in the group. The Vegetable Tempura and the Hustler Roll were my two favorites. The desserts were also pretty good and I would recommend the Yuzu Meringue Tart, which is a little out of the box.

I’ve been trying to eat at Sakura for the better part of 3 years but my schedule never aligned with their hours of operation. This latest trip to Alyeska finally yielded some fruit and we were able to dine here. I loved the ambiance and the service was exceptional! Our waiter knew the menu inside and out and even recommended an entree for our 3 year old that wasn’t on the menu. I got an Alaska Lager that paired well with my King Salmon Sashimi. I also loved the Spicy Tuna Roll and the Alyeska Roll! The quality of the ingredients was excellent. We spent over $200 on a party of 6 which wasn’t that expensive. Our experience here was definitely worth the wait. We look forward to the next time we can dine here. Thanks Sakura for an amazing meal!

Food was delicious! I wished they had a bigger menu of items other than sushi. There were no options for bento box other than 1 item. I wish there was more because the Japanese pancake was good but it wasn’t what I was craving that day and it was only the “one” option. Again tho it was delicious

This is our favorite restaurant so far in Girdwood. Other restaurants are nice, but this is the best in my opinion. I don’t expect good sushi in Alaska as I live in San Diego and lived in NYC before, we have a lot of great Japanese foods there. But this is surprisingly good as a restaurant in a resort. I highly recommend Combo boat if you like sushi, the ramen is amazing if you love ramen. All the other dishes we ordered are all successful. You should give this place a try!

AMAZING! One of the better sushi experiences I have had anywhere in the world. Sit at the bar and just ask the chef to make you his favorites and you will not be disappointed! Can’t recommend this place enough

Since this place didn’t take reservation (very small place) we took our chance to just try our luck. We were seated less than a minute on their busiest night….as long as you don’t mind sharing tables with strangers and made a few friends.
