Sakura

I’m glad we made a reservation at Sakura. The place was packed when we arrived, which is usually a good sign. The food confirmed that. The sushi was some of the best I’ve had in Indianapolis, the freshness was apparent by the textures, and the miso soup was excellent. The restaurant was clean, the prices were reasonable, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Sakura fills up quickly, so it helps to plan ahead, but it’s worth it. I’m already looking forward to going back.

A cute little Japanese restaurant. The lady who attended our table is so lovely. She told us to not order too much but we just can’t hold the urge to try everything on the menu! The food is great! High quality sashimi and the food portion was generous too.

Authentic Japanese food in Indiana is rare unless you make it yourself. This place is authentic. I was craving katsudon since my Japan trip and this was one of the only places that not only makes it but has all the other Japanese beer and foods I craved but gave up on finding. Would highly recommend. The wait is worth it...but I would suggest calling a reservation ahead.

LOVE this space. Beware— there may be a wait on a weekend. I came around 7pm ish and there was a 10 min wait. The people who work here are so sweet! I got the udon and it felt so warm and cozy— good for a cold day. Their salad with ginger dressing is SO GOOD. If you’re not a fan of ginger, don’t fret. It’s not super gingery but full of umami! Great vibes here and such a cute spot

Favorite place for sushi in Indy! The staff is so friendly and the shushing is always high quality and perfect. Try the holiday roll, Hoosier roll, soft shell crab roll, and yellow tuna nigiri.

The sushi is wonderful the service was great, and the price was perfect. 20 year anniversary, wife wasn't fond of the udon ( a little fishy tasting) but just hanging with me was enough to get her through lol.

So yummy! The miso butter salmon appetizer was really good, so was everything else. Really interesting options. Friendly staff. Generous with their rice. Fair prices. Love it. 🙂
