Sakura Asian Restaurant

The food here was ok; it did the job and was fresh. However, I definitely feel like the flavors could’ve been deepened for a better dining experience. The interiors were lovely and the service was even lovelier. We really enjoyed how hospitable and at home we felt at Sakura. If we give this another shot, we will definitely try their bento boxes and their Teppanyaki.

Ordered Sushi, they make fresh on spot! Loved all the flavors! They have some great Hibachi Item, my all time favorite is Salmon Hibachi. Little expensive and not the best service, but the food quality is one of the best. Very quiet and plenty of seating and parking space. They have a drive through option, which often helps.

Got the Sushi Bento for dinner. Everything was fresh. The three different rices were distinct (sushi, maki, plain). Sushi rice had the vinegar flavor, the maki rice was sticky and seemed to have very-slightly undercooked grains, and the plain rice was just that, simple with no flavor. The cuts of fish were alright with decent texture. The tempura and other sides were nice additions. The miso soup and ginger salad dressing were standard and good. Presentation and use of to go boxes was on point. If it had waited for much longer in the bag/box my fish would have been too warm. Price is in the eye of the beholder.

So I took a trip to State College to attend and event at the Rec Center. This was right off the main highway and I was short of time so it was perfect. The restaurant is small and was very clean. I am a VERY picky eater and asked for my order (shrimp and broccoli) to be steamed with the sauce on the side. They brought my salad out and even had the ginger dressing on the side too!👍🏼My dish was prepared perfectly, the service was very good so I have no problem recommending this restaurant.
