Authentic Japanese restaurant · Downtown

"Sakura has been a part of the Twin Cities’ sushi scene for more than 30 years. Its sashimi menu is extensive — try the fatty salmon, surf clam, or wasabi flying fish egg — and its rolls cover all the classics (tempura, caterpillar rolls, unagi, and spicy crab) and also deviate beyond them, featuring ingredients like chicken tempura, mango sauce, and spicy lobster. Sakura is known for its sushi boats, too. The downtown location makes it the perfect spot for dinner before a show at the Ordway Center for Performing Arts." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
