We arrived and were seated immediately, the servers and staff were working INCREDIBLY hard to get people seated as soon as possible. The crab rangoon were truly some of the best I have ever had. Sushi was fantastic and everything is reasonably priced. Staff is amazing. Definitely stop in!

Great food, amazing service, good atmosphere… Small, quaint, and cozy. We make it a point to eat as many sushi places as we can, and this was our first time here. We will definitely be coming back.
The sushi was great, the crab rangoons were better than most, and the service was top tier.

Authentic Japanese Sushi experience, which is hard to find in a smaller city like Des Moines (as opposed to Chicago and New York).
10/10 approved by my Asian friend too
The facility and dining experience is excellent too, gear lighting.

I have been to some of the best and most expensive restaurants in Chicago. Today was my first time going to Sakura Sushi restaurant in West Des Moines. I have to say that its was the best dinning experience I have ever had. Its a small intimate setting with extremely nice people. The menu selection is huge. The food is delicious and fresh. Even if you don’t like raw fish there are endless ,delicious options available. I highly recommend this restaurant

BEST SUSHI PLACE IN THE DES MOINES AREA!!!!! If you value delicious food and a professional and extremely kindhearted staff than you MUST come here. As someone who eats so much sushi (all over the country) believe me when I say this place is fantastic. Anyone who has left a negative review doesn’t understand sushi at all and was only looking for a fancy restaurant. Service is so fast, my boyfriend and I ordered appetizers drinks entrees and desserts all of which were to our table within five minutes (if not quicker!). The staff is so honestly friendly and kindhearted people. You can tell by their interactions with regulars that they genuinely care about their customers! The price is VERY affordable, we ordered three appetizers, two alcoholic beverages, four sushi rolls, and dessert and it was only about 35 each! (We had plenty of leftovers so if you are going for just an entree or an enteee and an appetizer it would be 10-15ish❤️❤️). The food tasted fantastic and was plated beautifully (pics attached). My boyfriend and I have been to Sakari, blue sushi, wasabi, and Thai flavors within the past couple months and none can compare to this place! AND IF THAT ISN’T ENOUGH FOR YOU, you are helping a local business by going and enjoying the delicious food! 100000000/10 will be going AGAIN!!!

My first visit there. I wasn’t sure what to expect. I love sushi but most sushi places are very cold and customer service. Sakura is the warmest, friendliest, treat you like family feeling in a sushi place I’ve ever been to. Not to mention the food was amazing!

I really enjoyed the rolls! Ninja roll, spicy tuna, dragon roll… can’t miss with those. Miso soup and crab Rangoon is on point. Reasonable price as sushi goes. Low key atmosphere, not super fancy. Very laid back.

One might not think much of a small sushi restaurant nestled in a strip mall. It only consists of a few tables and a sushi bar. However, the food is very nice. The lunch boxes are very reasonably priced and you get a lot of food for your value. Even with generous portions, they do not skimp on quality. The specialty sushi rolls are full of complex flavors. I am particularly fond of the angry dragon roll. The hot food comes out of the kitchen piping hot, the sushi and salads come out cold. The decor is whimsical, even going as far as having Halloween drink specials. The servers are friendly and attentive. If you are looking for a quick lunch, a nice dinner, or even a meal after shopping at the nearby grocery store, this is the place to go.

Sakura is in my top 3 FAVE sushi places in the Des Moines metro! Possibly #2- it’s so underrated. Give it a try! I forget which day, but they do have a day of the week for unlimited sushi as well

$10.95 bento boxes with many options, excellent service, and a quiet cozy atmosphere where it is easy to talk and enjoy the food. With booths, tables, and a nice bar this is a great lunch option or just a place to meet friends and get a drink or snack.
