"Since this place didn't take reservation (very small place) we took our chance to just try our luck. We were seated less than a minute on their busiest night....as long as you don't mind sharing tables with strangers and made a few friends. The menu is decent and covers enough varieties. We picked a few basic and some unique dishes just to see how well they compared. We ordered the seaweed salad, crab tempura, black pepper king crab knuckles and the lobster crab lemon grass roll. The seaweed salad was well prepared. Not too sweet and it tasted fresh. The tempura was lite and crispy with a slightly more acidic yuzu dipping sauce which I liked a lot. The one thing I did noticed it the crab is not as fresh as it should have been. The lobster knuckles was somewhat ambitious and hit some high and low marks. High marks for creativity and perfectly studied stir fried veggies. Though the lobsters have a nice delicate thin crust, it's a bit more spicy (with jelopeno) version of the tempura sauce. I know it's a matter of personal preference but I think could be better if the sauce was on the side box you can't take it out if it's too much for the customer. The lobster crab lemongrass roll was the least favorite and disappointing for something that sounded very promising. The rice were a bit mushy for a roll and there were no lobster or crab. It looks like a normal surimi krab roll that's fried and serviced warm (yes it's another fried dish). Not worth the money... hence the missing star from my review. Overall they get a passing grade for service, quality but a bit lacking in the value for the money."

Sakura is the best Teppanyaki bar that I've experienced. The food is exquisite. Within the past few years, they've also started a combined menu with the Sushi Bar. As a result, one gets the best of both worlds. View menu

AMAZING! This is one of the best sushi experiences I've had anywhere in the world. Sit at the bar and ask the chef to prepare his favorites; you won't be disappointed! I can't recommend this place highly enough!

Without a doubt, this is the best sushi restaurant in all of Alaska! It's the only place I've come across that offers fresh Alaskan salmon in various types. The chefs are fantastic, and sitting at the bar is always enjoyable. Great staff, beautiful atmosphere, and vibrant dishes—thank you!

The food was fresh and well-prepared, though not exceptional. However, the service was excellent, and the staff were particularly attentive to a shellfish allergy in our group. My top two dishes were the Vegetable Tempura and the Hustler Roll. The desserts were quite enjoyable as well, and I highly recommend the Yuzu Meringue Tart—it's a unique choice. View menu

The food was excellent, and there was a wide variety of options that suited my tastes! I ordered the ramen with pork and a crunch roll, while my friends opted for the sushi boat. I've returned several times since my first visit! However, I probably wouldn't choose the ramen again since it didn't quite impress me. On the other hand, the drinks were fantastic! I highly recommend the dragon drink with lychee.

This has become our favorite restaurant in Girdwood. While there are other nice options, this one stands out as the best, in my opinion. Living in San Diego and having previously lived in NYC, I didn't expect to find good sushi in Alaska, given the abundance of excellent Japanese cuisine in those cities. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality here for a resort restaurant. I highly recommend the Combo Boat if you’re a sushi lover, and the ramen is fantastic if that's more your style. Every other dish we tried was equally impressive. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!
