Sakura Ya

Since the little one is obsessed with sushi and I like to try new places. We ended up here at Sakura Ya today when they opened. Living back on this part of town I’ll have to try some more of the restaurants tucked away here in Centennial. This place does not offer all you can eat, but the quality of the sushi was great. The little one got a salmon roll as usual and an eel roll. Both were awesome, I got a dragon roll and forgot to take a picture. I also got the sea food udon to change up my usual ramen habits. Both were fantastic. Service was great. I’ll definitely be back to try some of the other items or lunch/dinner specials

This was definitely in my top 5 favorite small restaurant in Las Vegas! The food was absolutely amazing! Fresh, crispy, and beautifully presented. Everything I tried was top top top notch. I will return now that I discovered this hidden gem. The service was prompt and we never had to ask for anything. Atmosphere was very relaxing. 100% the place to go.

Sushi is my favorite food and I love to have it delivered whenever I need a pick me up. With that being said, Sakura Ya has become on regular rotation for me when it comes to having my sushi delivered. They’ve never gotten an order wrong and it arrives to my front door on time, perfectly packaged, and with nothing missing. The food is high quality and delicious. They have all the sushi and rolls one would typically expect from a sushi restaurant along with unique rolls that you can only find at this particular spot. I also love how they already drizzle the sauce on your rolls for you instead of having you do it yourself. It’s a small detail that I appreciate instead of having the sauce being given on the side. I can safely say that this is one small business that I have become a regular at and I will to continue to enjoy ordering sushi from them! 🩷

The food was so delicious and fresh! We ordered: -chicken katsu, the chicken was crunchy and fresh. The sauce that accompanied it was so flavorous, it was different from other sauces I've tried. -Miso soup, it was so delicious and warm! I dont usually order miso soup but it came with the chicken katsu and I couldn't stop eating/drinking it. -Takoyaki, was warm and flavorous -spring roll, it came with 2. The sauce that accompanied the rolls was so yammmyyy - golden california, shrimp tempura roll and California roll were all so delicious too. -the cucumber salad was bigger than I expected and it was very delicious ! -we got one beer and another free! 🍺 Service was excellent, our servers checked in on us and offered refills. They were so kind and attentive. The ambience was calm, clean and aesthetically pleasing. The booths felt nice and comfortable. The music was nice and relaxing

My family heard from others that Sakura Ya was really good, so we went to see if that was true. And it really was! The food was delicious, the service was great, and it only took 5 minutes for our food to be out! I HIGHLY recommend Sakura Ya! 🎌🍣🍱

Upon entering the environment was pleasent and felt calming. It was a Sunday lunch and they were not too busy so that may have conributed to the calm feeling. The staff was polite and welcoming. They endured my relentless questions with patience and kindness. The food was excellent. My favorits were the shrimp tampora and the Mount Charelston Roll. The shrimp tampora was perfectly cooked and the breading was crisp and delightfull. I got the Mount charelston roll without eel sause as I do not prefer eel sauce. It was the perfect blend of crab, creem cheese, avacodo and masago topped with spicy mayo and yum yum sauce. Hands down the best shushi place I have been to in the Vegas Valley.

The food is good but expect to wait a long time for it, even if you ordered online. I went to pick it up 20 minutes after it should have been done and they hadn't even started it. The place was only half full but it took another 40 minutes after I got there before I even got my pick-up order. We ordered 6 rolls and an appetizer. It wasn't that much food. This place is also slightly pricier than some other places but like I said, the sushi is good and we don't have a ton of options on this side of town.

Hidden gem tucked away by Smiths! Make sure to get fresh wasabi with your rolls and don’t skip the Yaki Udon if you love a good stir fry. Service was great, super kind. Def will come back.

I'm happy that this place is close by. Their food is outstanding and staff are very accommodating. Place is clean inside and out.

Such a good sushi spot! It's quaint and quiet, which we love, and the service is quick too. They don't have AYCE, but they had a pretty good variety of rolls and starters. We started with a few appetizers, my favorite being their Fried Spam Musubi and the Seaweed Salad. The spam musubi was amazing!! Super crispy and the sauces they put on it were such a good combo. I believe it was Kewpie and an eel sauce, but with the fried tempura batter it was so tasty! The California Roll was pretty standard, so nothing to complain about there. My friends and I all enjoyed what we ordered and definitely plan on coming back!

The food is amazing and the service is excellent. Very attentive. The music provides a casual ambiance.

This has become our go to sushi spot! We've done take out and dine in, and it's always good. The rolls are large and it tastes like they use quality fish. The staff is always very attentive and friendly. The inside of the store has always been clean and we rarely have to wait. Pricing is a little high but that is every sushi restaurant. There is no all you can eat however.

Very well kept inside and out. The seafood is very fresh and the deals are reasonable. The service is amazing and the servers were all smile. Another great hidden gem that is underestimated! Definitely coming back to this amazing place. The place in itself is very clean and the ambiance is nice.

We were in the mood for some Japanese food so decided to try a different resturant in NW Las Vegas area. The combination fried rice was geeat with lots of beef, chicken and shrimp. The tempura shrimp and scallops were also very good on probably the best panko tempura we have had in the area, and the drag rollnwas also great. Servers are friendly and attentive and prices decent for the amount of food. We left very full and happy.

The restaurant is small, nice and cozy. Casual for families. A good option for a meal if you're close by. There aren't too many sushi spots worth mentioning in the north. Sakura Ya is okay for sushi. I think the other entrees would be done really well. The sushi is good but not the best. The rolls kinda fell apart really easy, and texture of the rice was missing something. Flavors were okay. Nothing spectacular, but It did satisfy my craving, We also had the salt & pepper calamari. These calamari rings are tiny. Like pinky ring tiny lol I was not expecting the plate that I received but I guess that's how It remains affordable. Other than It being super small the salt and pepper flavor was spot on. Service was great, checked in on us just enough. Gave my son a tiny cup and straw which was the perfect size for his hands lol. For affordability and the casual setting I would return to try some of the other food. Three rolls and an appetizer set us back at $40ish which isn't too bad.

We would recommend this place. The service was really good. They were fast and very polite. They opened the door for me because they saw that I had a stroller. There was ample parking outside and the inside was very clean. It was quiet so not noisy like some places with lots of music. There were booths and tables to sit that were all clean. We didn't have to wait and were seated right away. As for the food itself, it was fine. Normal type of sushi place. We got the chicken teriyaki bento and salmon teriyaki bento that was $12.95 and $15.95. It came with miso soup, rice, chicken gyoza, salad, and California roll. A little pricey for a lunch special but still good. We would come back for the ambiance and service. It was really comfy for us to come here with our little kids who ate vanilla ice cream. The scoop was $3.50, which was expensive, but it kept them quiet for awhile! So worth the money!

I am pretty damn impressed! I haven't dined there yet but I ordered delivery and everything is awesome! Delivery sushi always can get sketchy I know but when you want it you want it! I got the sunset tempura roll, white tuna, crab stick and sushi rice. All came fresh and still at temp even though I live a little further. They paid attention to modifiers for the most part and I have to say the quality is better than a lot of places that I've dined in at. Can't wait to check out the restaurant!

Ordered takeout from this place tonight after a long day. Boy did we make a mistake by trying a new place tonight. We ordered the Sky Canyon Special which is a combination plate with 2 rolls. We found out why it was pretty cheap and affordable. After picking up our order I took it home and my wife had taken a bit of her sashimi only to find PIN WORMS in the fish! She pulled about 3-4 from her one piece of sashimi. Needless to say this where our meal stopped. We called the restaurant (we're about 10 min away and figured this was better than going back) and the lady who answered told us the food was warm because the type of roll. Once she realized we were saying there were worms she said to call back in an hour when her manager could talk. Fast forward an hour later and now her manager is TOO BUSY to talk us. She can't help us, the manager is busy with their work, and they can't do anything at this time. They took our phone number and said they will try to call us tomorrow morning Worst service. Worst food. Will not come back and warn anyone who tries this place to check their food. We may be wrong in our findings, but it's never worth the risk. The fact they can't address this concern in the moment is beyond me.

From the beginning to end- a wonderful experience dining at Sakura Ya. We ordered fried spam musubi, salt & pepper pork chops, the combination fried rice, the caterpillar roll and the lobster roll. Everything tasted delicious. My husband said "even the water tastes good" and he always needs a lemon with his water and is very picky with water flavor. So hats off to Sakura Ya for exceeding our expectations. I am so happy we found you now we can keep coming back for more!

This place is consistent. The staff is friendly, the food is great, and you can always get a table with no wait or a quick short wait. We like their bento boxes for lunch. Their boat for dinner. Even though they aren't all you can eat the prices are fair and we love that you can see the sushi bar from where you're sitting.

Rolls are good and service is very fast. Small restaurant which is nice. I just wish they had AYCE!

The service was amazing our 1st time here. Always making sure we were happy. The food was very fresh, portions good size too. The Chicken Teriyaki was so good and the shrimp tempura too. The atmosphere was nice too not loud at all.

Had this delivered. It was very good! Well packaged and care taken how it was packaged along with enough napkins and sauces. The cold and warm meals in separate bags! So the sushi didn't get hot including the California rolls from the bento lunch special! Thank you I appreciate that! Will definitely order again and look forward to going into to eat sometime too!

Typically, we tend to frequent our preferred sushi establishments and seldom deviate from them. However, my spouse expressed an interest in trying out this particular establishment due to its favorable ratings. The atmosphere exuded a simple and pristine vibe, while the personnel were affable and their uniforms added an appealing touch. The seaweed salad stood out as a favorite among my husband's preferences. Additionally, the accompanying side salad boasted a delightful dressing, generously portioned. We indulged in numerous rolls and nigiri, all of which exhibited excellent quality. Without a doubt, we intend to revisit this establishment in the future.

Whoa. Took a gamble on this place & lucked out. Food was fresh, our orders all came out quickly, the people working here are nice, and we enjoyed ourselves because everything was perfect. Glad we found this spot, now we know where to go next time we are out exploring. This place is amazing, do yourself a favor and try it for yourself. Sugoi!

One of the best sushi places in Vegas. Very clean, polite, and fresh at the temperature. We are from Reno and we wish we were closer. We have sushi 2-3 times a week and this is great. Salt pepper calamari best we've had. The lollipop cucumber roll has no rice-amazing. Marty and Rhonda

Very nice sushi place on the edge of Vegas. Good value and the staff were nice. I got your standard sushi lunch with a miso and a large salad.

This has become one of our gotos. Food is always great. Service is always great and even one time they were so packed the service was near and far. When we came back the next time they apologized and gave us ice cream. We're regulars and we didn't complain. It was such a kind gesture. They just updated their menus and tableware it's so cute! Music is k pop type and not to loud.

Amazing service, clean facility and some of the best sushi we have had in a long time. We will definitely be coming back!!

The worst Ramen I have ever had. the sushi construction was pathetic. The ingredients in the sushi were pathetic. The sushi were very small. Very very sad.

Planning to do groceries @ smiths and saw this restaurant right next to it. Decided to get lunch before doing groceries. We came in server was busy told us to choose any table. Loved how booth were spacious and roomy, definitely a plus... Server served us beverages before taking our order had the Coconut smoothie, rich in boba and that coconut juice was just ice-smooth cold perfect for the summer heat. Starters we started off with the Salt & Pepper Calamari! The calamari deep-fried came out in smaller bits. Spicy, peppery and crunchy to taste, quite enjoyable for a starter. Would've like a bit more substance on them calamari felt small which made it easier to chew and eat. The Sho-yu ramen was just like any typical ramen noodles I've had in the past. I like that the menu has mixed dishes with ramen selection, sushi dishes and their unique Bento items. Definitely will come back to try their sushi side of the menu. Best place if you are on a grab-to-go or quick-in-dining.

It's been over a year since my HB and I had sushi in the NE Centennial Hills area. Checked this place out for dinner and we're both super happy to have found them! Very small place but the food is fantastic. Everything tasted fresh, restaurant and restrooms very clean, very welcoming staff. We will be back!

Great food and service! The place was clean and music was playing in the background which my 1 year old daughter was dancing to. lol We will definitely be back.

Great first time experience! Extensive menu and great prices. We had beers, hot saki, and dinner for under $60! The thick pieces of smoked salmon sashimi and broiled salmon skin rolls were bomb!! Try it out .

a lot of sauce which is fine but it becomes overwhelming because it soaks the greens which would be fine if more and/or other vegetables were involved in this salad. it becomes a mush of the salmon skin and the sauce and the greens are sort of drowned out. overall the initial taste is good. beyond the lunch specials though, this restaurant overall is pricey for the amount of food. service is pretty fast. its a small restaurant so i usually get my food to-go.

Ordered take out for dinner and it was pretty good! Delivered within 45 minutes from ordering on Yelp. Got a buffet of different rolls: salmon, spicy, hurricane, sunshine, heart attack, hot crunchy rolls. Some had more flavor than others but with the added wasabi and ginger it added flavor. Some of the fried rolls got soggy so maybe only order those in person.

my favorite sushi restaurant! they don't serve AYCE, and i've come to realize that their rolls are so delicious because they don't sacrifice quality for quantity the way that AYCE locations do. the rolls here are sooo flavorful and addictive. i can order like 4 rolls for myself bc they're just so freaking good. it's a small restaurant, so walking in, you definitely don't really expect to taste some of the best sushi you've ever had, but goodness gracious! i felt so addicted, i couldn't stop thinking about their sushi. the employees are also very kind, quick and attentive. also, bonus points that the rolls are always beautifully presented, even when you're ordering it to-go. this is the only photo i ever took of my food bc i am not kidding when i say i cannot stop myself from devouring their sushi as soon as it's in front of me. i'd gone here 6 times before i finally stopped to take a quick picture before i ate it lol. i'm trying to cut back on ordering out every day bc of my new year's resolution, but i still have dreams about the french kiss tempura roll!!

Found this new spot on a recommendation from a friend.. and compared to other local places near our home this place KILL'D it. Family of 6, we called ahead and asked if they had space for us.. they said yes and asked how soon we'd like to come. 10min later we walk in, greeting was warm, and immediately taken to table they had setup for us. Sushi was tasty, and left us wanting to come back again!

Good food, good service, had the chicken teriyaki which was very tasty. Wife had fried rice which was also good. We've had the bento box which is excellent for the price but is only available until 4:00

This place has been a goto once a week for my wife and I. We love the service and the food. Wife always gets the rolls and I always try something new and haven't been disappointed yet. I highly recommend this place. Also happy hour is but a beer get one free. Can't beat that.

Tried their lunch menu. Reasonable prices for bento boxes. Miso soup to start, came piping hot & very flavorful- (pet peeve is a lukewarm, watered down miso soup!) Generous portions of chosen protein (beef teriyaki & chicken katsu), freshly fried gyoza, 4 Calif rolls. Friendly, attentive service. Clean, attractive interior. Will definitely return.

Amazing atmosphere! Friendly service but lets talk about the food. Everything tastes fresh. All of it. Clean restaurant. Definitely will be coming back!

My younger son is a total sushi lover. I ordered udon noodles with teriyaki (which a HUGE by the way! I've never seen such a fat noodle in my life!) And my lunch date ordered the Roller Coaster roll. The sound of "eel sauce" put me off, but wow. It was actually really good! The lady who served us was very quiet and polite. Sushi is expensive anyways but making my kiddo happy and actually eating good sushi? Totally worth it!

Stopped here the other day and really enjoyed it. I tried one of the combos that had rolls, sashimi, and nigiri (enough for two people). Both rolls were quite nice, but what really stole the show was the nigiri and sashimi. Crazy fresh and delicious. The salmon nigiri especially blew my mind. I plan on going back to try more of the nigiri options.

Really solid Nigiri, but the real showstopper was the Shrimp Tempura. I can't remember the last time I had Shrimp Tempura that good.

Great place for sushi. Very kid friendly! Bento box and noodles were amazing! Service was attentive and helpful!

This is a hidden gem!! I'm from Vancouver Island in Canada and the sushi here is fresher than most restaurants there on the ocean. Everything is affordable, exceptionally inexpensive (how do they afford to stay in business?). Servers are always kind and patient, happy to answer questions. Miso soup is incredible! The real deal is the sushi special for lunch with a roll and then nigiri as well as soup and salad. Everything is as fresh as it can be, including the salad!

Love the sushi here. Every time I come here everything is amazing! The staff is so nice and friendly and the food is amazing! I got the sunset roll, the spicy crab roll and the crunchy roll. Everything is so fresh.

Small but busy place. Very clean and also service comes quickly. Really enjoyed the quiet enough for conversation and the smell of freshly made food. Such a good variety of both sushi and plate dishes. I will surely be back for sushi, sake, and fried rice. It just smelled so good.

Yesterday I was craving chicken teriyaki and found this restaurant was closest to me. I decided to order online and pick up. We ordered 2 orders of chicken teriyaki with fried rice , spring rolls , avocado roll, and chicken yakisoba. Let Me just say wow! Everything was piping hot and delicious! Only negative I had was they packaged everything in styrofoam containers which lead to a lot of leakage from all the sauces. So be careful if ordering to go! Everything was fresh and not greasy at all. Our meals came with a miso soup which was delicious! Egg rolls were perfectly crisp. This was our first time trying yakisoba and we are now addicted. The chicken teriyaki is a huge serving perfect for 2-3 ppl to eat. As well as the side of rice that comes with it. We definitely had leftovers since we ordered 2 orders. Avocado roll was yummy and perfect for vegans or those of us who cannot eat seafood to still enjoy some sushi. We definitely will be back to try the ramen and more!

This is a really good option for vegans in North Las Vegas, especially if you're eating with non-vegans. I had a generous plate of veggie tempura and seaweed salad to start, followed by a vegetable roll stuffed with cucumber, avocado, asparagus, and burdock root. It was all very tasty and affordable. The seating is tight but they do take reservations and there were open tables on a Sunday night. Our server was also very attentive and friendly. I would be happy to come back for the same meal.

VIBES: 3/5 super quiet Japanese spot with a heavier sushi focus than ramen. It does feel a bit disconnected due to the color scheme and seating arrangements but it does well for a large group. VALUE: 4/5 The best bang for your buck is going to be the Bento Box...I unfortunately did not get the Bento Box lol. I ended up getting a beef teriyaki bowl and it got the job done (satiating my hunger) left left much to be desired. For $3 more the bento would have scratched that itch. SERVICE: 3/5 Service here was typical of an Asian location where I don't speak the tongue. I always feel it to be short, sharp, and tinged with an air of irritation. But, maybe I'm just reading into it too deep. Orders were presented in a timely manner however which was very nice. PRODUCT(S): 4/5 The food all around was good! I don't think there were any complaints in flavor, my only complaint is just around the fact that the Bento Box was misleadingly small on the menu when in fact it's a SUPER DEAL.

Love that I have a neighborhood sushi spot where they know who we are when we walk in. Top quality sushi and some pretty inventive rolls. Service is great and the prices are reasonable. Worth a visit

Great Ambiance and food excellent right by my house nice spot! Fried rice was really yummy love the cold sake strawberry flavor

Food is very good and delivery service works well . You should give it a try . Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tried Sakura Ya for the first time via take out. It was decent if you need a sushi fix in the Northwest/Centennial Hills area. It's not a true Japanese restaurant and there is a mix of Japanese and Chinese dishes on the menu. I ordered my typical nigiri and a roll. The scallop and surf clam were good, the amaebi was ok but small. The Hawaii Tempura Roll had way too much sauce. I also ordered Agedashi tofu and was disappointed. It was not Agedashi tofu but just fried tofu. Yes there is a difference. Agedashi tofu is typically soft or silken tofu and dredged in potato or corn starch and served in dashi broth. This was a firm tofu, not dredged in any starch and no dashi broth. It was plain old fried tofu, refried and served dry (photo attached). Ordered 2 more dishes, the short ribs, salt and pepper porkchops. Both were good for the geographic area but better could be had if your willing to drive to Spring Valley. The portions are small versus the price and I'm not sure if that's due to the current situation we are living in (inflation, supply chain, etc...). If your in the area and need a quick sushi fix and not willing to drive , it may be worth going to.

Food was good. Had the chicken teriyaki bento box. It filled me up. Service staff were very attentive.
