Sakura sushi & bar

Sakura on Upton Dr. is absolutely phenomenal! From the moment my fiancé and I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The sushi was incredibly fresh — you can truly taste the quality in every bite. The rolls were beautifully presented and perfectly balanced, especially the specialty rolls. The fish melted in my mouth. Service was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Cristi, one of the owners, made sure to come over after our meal to see how everything was and was so sweet and genuine. This is hands down one of the best sushi spots we’ve been to.

Food was fresh, tasty and great quality. FIONA had the BEST customer service being kind, efficient and filled with joy! Thanks’

Dare I say… best sushi experience in VB? The music, the lighting, the drinks, the food, the service, etc. all exceeded my expectations. The bar is beautiful, and the Pain Killer beverage was just as affordable as it was tasty! Great selection on the menu, and the house made ginger dressing on their house salad is the best I’ve had in VA Beach. I was impressed with the alcohol selection and non-sushi options as well. Family friendly service but a fun and modern vibe inside. I will be returning!

My wife and I had a great time. It had a very welcoming, friendly, relaxing atmosphere. The waiter was very kind and explain everything that came out with the food before ordering and after. The presentation of the food beautiful really surprise me. I love how Sakura had stone plating something different you don’t see in other sushi restaurants. We love the food and recommend trying the red mill sushi it’s was delicious as well as the volcano roll. If you want a drink try their Mai tai it compliments the food in my opinion. Definitely coming back .

absolutely amazing. its one of the few sushi places nearby that i would go to everyday if i could. this kept me fed during college. sure you can argue that i could’ve just.. gotten sushi from harris teeter or publix and actually cooked at home for cheaper, but that’s not the point. i was exhausted, just trying to get through my last year of school, didn’t have time or energy to cook. just wanted to get through the year. this place made my life a gazillion times better. Especially since my dad happily picked it up for me while i was at home, studying, and probably falling asleep in the process since i was always up late doing assignments. sure, it’s a bit on the pricey side and you can argue that i could’ve just gotten it cheaper from HT or publix.. or just cooked at home. but that’s not
