Sakura blue is always such a nice dinner. As vegan, we ordered an avocado roll, vegetable roll, sweet potato roll and tofu roll with a ginger salad and as always, it was very fresh and delicious. Sarah is the absolute best, she always make sure you have enough ginger and Wasabi and checks in on your drinks and to ask if you’re happy with you’re food, on top of her consistently excellent service, she is such a sweetheart. I’d highly recommend checking out Sakura if you’ve never been, it’s never disappointed.

Food and service was great! The server was nice, gave me time to order with no rush, and she was super polite! The Hot Sake is a must as well as a side order of a miso soup and house salad which the dressing was very good! I only ordered a Yummy Crunch Roll which was delicious! One day I’ll be sure to give their hibachi or bento box a go!

Everything was great today! I came in with a friend for the one cent hot sake. I had never tried before, it was pretty good. For food we ordered the Bibimbap, Miso ramen, the International (sushi), the Crunch munch (sushi) and the California roll (sushi). The International roll came was literally on FIRE! All of the sushi tasted great, the house salad and ginger dressing was very tasty, same with the Miso soup.

An excellent option for sushi in the city, and perhaps the best in the St Matthews area! Tremendous selection of rolls and individual sushi/sashimi options — and now they seem to have ramen as well, which I’m eager to try. Delicious and pleasantly priced. Will definitely be back.

Nigiri lovers—this is your spot. The rice perfect. Chef—amazing. Sit at the bar. They brush the soy sauce as well as a citrus type juice/topping (depending on the fish). They ask if you want fresh wasabi paste that they do a little baby dollop on the fish(they ask your preference—put it on) OMG good. The wasabi paste is a different flavor profile than what you are expecting if you have experienced wasabi at other sushi joints. The salmon belly is to die for. Tamago is perfect—not too sweet or bite-y. Easily the best nigiri I’ve had in Louisville. My fiancé and I have tried a lot of different sushi places around the metro and this really hit it out of the park. The staff members are extremely attentive — one of the best sushi experiences I’ve had in terms of taste and quality of every piece.

Service was super fast, courteous and friendly. Owner came over to talk after. Shrimp tempura perfectly cooked. Teriyaki shrimp just right. Ginger dressing best in town. Menu recently upgraded. Will definitely return.

I’ve been wanting to try takoyaki for a while and they did not disappoint. They were so delicious and the tako karaage was to die for!

The worst Japanese restaurant in Louisville. Stay away. The sushi wasn’t up to grocery store standards. The udon came from a bag. The tako yaki were frozen. The hibachi was terrible.

Great spot for quick hibachi rice and a roll. The Beef or Shrimp fried rice for under $10 is great!
