Sakura Ya - Las Vegas, Nevada

I LOVE when I find a hit sushi restaurant when I least expect it and that’s exactly what happened here. They give real chopsticks, with a nice weight to them, which elevates the dining experience. (I cannot stand wood chopsticks.)

Cute decor. Great fish. We had torro, salmon, and yellowtail sushi which were all quite fresh and refreshing. We’ll be back!

We wanted to find a Japanese restaurant that served bento. We found Sakura Ya in the Skye Canyon Center. Their menu is extensive including bento. There is lots of parking with handicap parking and handicap access. It opens at 11am. The interior is nice clean with charming Asian decor. The atmoshere was cozy, relaxing. We were greeted warmly as we entered. There is booth seating or table seating. We chose the booth which was comfortable. Mandy our server and her assistance were wonderful, very attentive, patient and pleasant. Hubby ordered the sushi lunch special and I ordered the sashimi lunch special. Both came with miso soup and salad. The presentation was beautiful. The sashimi was delicious, fresh and delectable. The miso soup was yummy. The portions were just right. The prices were moderate. This was a great find. We will definitely return soon to try the ither items.

I had a great experience at this sushi place! I especially enjoyed the sushi boat—the fish tasted phenomenal, exactly as fresh fish should. The presentation of the rolls was neat and clearly showed careful attention to detail. Overall, I highly recommend trying this spot if you’re in the mood for a delicious treat!

UPDATE: My family and I still order delivery or take-out from Sakura Ya at times, and had yet to sit down and actually eat at the restaurant. We've always talked about it in the past but fell short of accomplishing this...until recently. On the evening of 8 Jun 2024, we ate at the restaurant during the late hours because we had a late lunch/brunch. We ordered the same thing we normally do; Skye Canyon Dinner Special (w/Ultimate Tuna Roll and Caterpillar Roll), Cucumber Roll, Chicken Teriyaki Bowl, Gyoza, Miso Soup, and Tonkotsu Soup, and Spring Roll. Although, we've tried majority of these items during previous visits, I will add that the Spring Rolls and Tonkotsu Soup were new to our list.

Overall, everything was still phenomenal just like all the previous visits I've experienced. The customer service is hands-down exceptional - those employees are always efficient. An honorable mention about this restaurant is that I appreciate how this business supports the active men and women of the Armed Forces to include its Veterans. I've added new photos to this review and my overall rating remains the same as before. Highly recommend!
----------------------------------------
My family and I have eaten here several times now and I kept forgetting to rate/comment on this business, until now. Every time we eat here, we typically order takeout or get it delivered - we have yet to dine in at this restaurant so unfortunately, I cannot provide any tableside service reviews/comments.

The food here is excellent; we've tried the miso soup, gyoza, chicken wings, salmon skin salad, tuna poke, tuna roll, crabstick sushi, cucumber roll, spicy tuna roll, ultimate tuna roll, caterpillar roll, Alaska roll, surf and turf roll, tonkotsu ramen, chicken teriyaki, beef teriyaki, chicken teriyaki bowl, beef teriyaki bowl, and Skye Canyon dinner special. Obviously, this was experienced throughout the many visits to this restaurant. Out of all the menu items that we've tried thus far, the ramen are probably the less desirable items. Although the ramen broth tasted good, I just wished there were more ingredients. But, we don't come here for the ramen anyways. The sushi/nigiri are great - I was skeptical at first because having sushi delivered doesn't sound that appealing to me, but since they're quick with the delivery, the quality is phenomenal.

The folks working here are very friendly - specifically the ladies who take the orders over the phone or in person. Well, I guess they're the only ones anyone would ever talk to because the others are behind the counter making the sushi and cooking in the back. There was only one time where the wait time was slightly longer than normal; however, it was excusable because for some reason, I just happen to be there when it was busier than normal. Otherwise, every time I order food for takeout or delivery, the service is great!

Highly recommend to everyone!

What a wonderful restaurant! Love their sashimi- so fresh and the portions are great. Dine in customers get miso and a salad with the sashimi order, making it a great little set meal. Also got the shrimp yakisoba, which comes with a huge portion.

I’ve been here a handful of times already and love to eat here. It’s easily become my favorite sushi restaurant here in nw Las Vegas. We got the dynamite roll, surf and turf and the cherry blossom roll. Everything is so fresh and delicious, my new go to spot :). The customer service is excellent as well! You won’t be disappointed

We recently visited this restaurant for lunch for the first time, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The waitress was exceptionally friendly and polite, making us feel welcomed. The service was impressively prompt, by the way.

We decided to try three different combinations, and I must admit, the Hawaii roll surpassed all expectations. Its flavors were simply exquisite! Moreover, I couldn't help but appreciate the tasteful decorative touches that adorned the interior of the restaurant.

Rest assured, we will definitely be returning in the future.

I didn’t want to put this review, because I really don’t want it to get ridiculously busy! But this place is delicious. Never had a bad meal and we’ve been here at least a dozen times now. A hidden gem, for now!
