On the main street of Urbana, the Japanese restaurant stands like a serene retreat amidst the city’s bustle. Its sleek wooden façade and glowing paper lanterns draw the eye, offering a quiet elegance that contrasts with the rhythm of passing traffic. Step inside, and the noise fades — replaced by the soothing notes of traditional koto music and the subtle aroma of dashi and sesame. The space is artfully minimal: polished wood, soft lighting, and hand-painted scrolls that tell stories of old Japan. Chefs work with quiet precision behind the sushi bar, crafting each dish like a piece of art. It’s more than a restaurant — it’s a moment of stillness and beauty in the heart of Urbana.

We came here as a group of 2. We first ordered two sets of special rolls, which came pretty good, especially the soft shell crab roll. But the portion is kind of small and we ordered another ramen. Delicious overall

My wonderful girlfriend and I went here for dinner over the weekend. Service was amazing and was pretty quick. Place was quiet and dim-lit but still a cozy and modern feel to it. We got the pan fried gyoza, spicy tonkatsu ramen and dragon roll. Food was really good and price was amazing for the portions. However, only main concerns about the food was that we felt that the gyoza needed to be crispier a bit and that the ramen wasn’t spicy. Overall a pretty good spot.

This place has a calm and dim-lit but casual feel. The food was tasty, well plated, and the service was quick. The only comment I would make is I got the spicy ramen and it had absolutely zero spice. Overall, I recommend.

Delicious! Everything we had was great, especially the sushi. The rice was soft and well seasoned and the fish was super fresh. The shrimp shumai was also delicious and I can’t wait to come back and try the noodles and bento boxes among other things! My only complaint was that my scallops were definitely over cooked, but it still won’t stop me from coming back to get other dishes!

I work in downtown Urbana so I love coming here for lunch or dinner on my break! I usually get the Tonkotsu Curry Rice (it’s one of my very favorite dishes in all of Champaign-Urbana!) but everything I’ve tried here has been amazing! Everyone is always very friendly and attentive, Sakura is the best!

Omg, hands down the best Japanese restaurant in the city! The staff is incredibly friendly, and the food is simply amazing. Not only does it look good, but it tastes fantastic too. The restaurant’s decor is beautiful, and they use quality dishes, not plastic like in many other places. Plus, the sushi is reasonably priced. A must-try for Japanese cuisine enthusiasts! The Bento box is an amazing option to try a little bit of everything – it comes with a choice of meat, sushi rolls, tempura, spring rolls, and rice! And if you’re a fan of noodles, the yakisoba and udon are also good options.

We have lived in UrbanaChampaign for a little over 3 years now and have tried to visit almost every restaurant at least once. Sakura is by far the best and our go to date night! Our favorite rolls are the Double Salmon and the Jalapeño roll. ❤️
