Reviewed 9 April 2016

Tucked away at 71st and Keystone is Indy's best kept sushi restaurant. Famous not only for the fresh rolls, but also for the celebrity that have visited and left their autographs on the wall, it's a hole in the wall with class.
Takes reservations - amazing. Sit at the bar, or a secluded booth. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
Favorite things: Warm Sake, salad with ginger dressing, edamame for starters. Rolls: The Rock n Roll, Soft Shell Crab, The Holiday Roll, Spicy Tuna, New York Roll.
They also have Bento Boxes for the less adventurous.

Everything about Sakura is worthy of the five stars given. And Sakura is unlike even the other awesome sushi hotspots in town I enjoy. I love that the restaurant, its staff, and the food has character. Fresh, buttery sushi and sashimi were the names of the game, loved the miso soup and the house salad (spectacular dressing!), and the deep fried crab appetizer. Adored and recommend the mochi - gooey and fun to unwrap.

The BEST thing about Sakura? The herb tea. I was just blown away by whatever magic they use to brew this.

Highly Recommended.

Between a pleasantly full house for a Tuesday evening and many take out orders, three sushi chefs were kept busy. The sushi was made of fresh ingredients (i sat at the bar and watched them work). Try one of the specialty rolls.

Very good sushi and friendly service. The sushi bar has limited seating but is an enjoyable spot to watch the chefs work. Very popular in the evening hours. Closed 2-5.

Fifteen years apart since I was here last and this place is still packed regularly and the standard still very high. The menu selection is great! We really liked the grilled squid, sliced octopus and cold soba noodles. The sushi selection is not as extensive as I had hoped but the quality and freshness is very good. Prices are very competitive as well. I highly recommend Sakura for Japanese food lovers.
