I dined in at Sakura and had a truly wonderful time. The chef/owner was eager to have us and was very kind. My party and I were unsure what sushi roll to order, so we one by one described to the chef/owner our likes and dislikes & he helped us pick our rolls. The dumplings and sushi were 10/10. The dim lighting also adds to the ambiance & parking was easy to find. I would highly recommend! Give this place a chance 🙂

Truly baffled by the good reviews…did we come on the most off night this place has ever had? Stopped by after taking our 5 year-old ice skating for her birthday. She wanted sushi for dinner and this spot had a solid rating and is in a trendy area, so why not? It was under a totally different name on Maps. We walked in to an empty restaurant and were hit with a potent old fried food smell (should have backed out then). The only guy that seemed to be there told us he wasn’t cooking any hot food, only prepping sushi. Ok, fine, we came for sushi. By that point we were definitely sus, but I had a very hungry 5 year-old on my hands.

Here’s what happened next:

– We were told that we couldn’t order directly from him unless we were paying cash; we had to order pick up from an app and pay on there or pay with Zelle. Odd, but ok, fine.
– Rolls came out first and they were small and not great
– My husband asked where the bathroom was and the guy seemed blindsided by the question, told him to hang on, and came back to say we couldn’t use the bathroom bc his son had made a mess with soap in there earlier…?
– We were still waiting on the Nigiri and decided to take it to go and we’d already paid for the whole meal on the app.
-There were items missing from our order when we got home.

Genuinely wondering if this place is a front? It seemed like he wasn’t really up for customers, so whatever is going on, I wish them well, but this is not the way to conduct business.

Not sure why there are two names for this location maybe new owners? Heard about this place and walked by it many times so had to try it. The owner was super kind and greeted us on entry and had some recommendations as well as let us know it’s BOYB. The menu was a little tricky to read he said it didn’t print well but it has plenty of options for sushi and some soups and entrees too. I chose the sweet potato sushi to go and he make it in good time. It was a bit warm in the restaurant and it had a very strong fish smell. The sushi itself was also quite warm I’ve never had sushi with warm rice before it’s always been cold or room temperature. The flavor was ok and I didn’t get sick after so it was all good. Overall I can’t say I recommend this place for sushi but the owner was quite nice!

Truly amazing quality/fresh fish, spectacular service, and an intimate dining experience. Was without a doubt one of my favorite sushi experiences in Chicago, let alone the states. A major plus that’s its BYOB, but the food speaks for itself. Cannot talk more highly of a locally and independently owned establishment. 5/5 recommend— a must go!!

Looks deceive
My boyfriend and I decided we wanted to have a fun night and get sushi since we hadn’t had it in a while. We searched for a modest joint within walking distance of Logan square. This popped up as an option, so we headed there.

Upon entering the place, things seemed very unassuming. A couple of booths, some of which are unavailable because they are used for take out. Dim lighting, old paper menus, and notably empty. We hesitantly sat by down wondering what we had run into. We ordered edamame and thought about leaving once we had finished the appetizer.

As we were searching for a new place to go to the owner noticed and came up to us and said “hey I know when you see a place like this and it’s empty, you don’t usually think the stuff is good. But trust me, give us a chance and you won’t be disappointed”.

We took him at his word. I order the chirashi which comes with miso soup and my bf order a couple of roles and a deep fried soft shell crab app.

One sip of the miso soup and I realized this place was different. I’d never had such rich, flavorful miso soup ever. Even at much “fancier” and most established places. My bf loved his soft shell crab (his first time ever having it) which came with a lovely soy dipping sauce.

Then our mains came and we were stunned not only at the apparent freshness of the ingredients but the beautiful display which I’ve attached in the images here. The flavor of the fish and rolls were delicate, flavorful, and unique. We happily devoured and savored the whole meal.

The owner came back. “How was it?” “Oh you were so right”. It was hands down some of the best sushi I’ve had in Chicago. The owner is even more generous. As a thank you for taking a chance on the place he gave us some free mochi.

He also told us that this establishment has been around for over 15 years and I’m not surprised. Looks can be deceiving but the service and the food speaks for itself here.

My boyfriend and I left with our heart very full. Feeling like we had found a little corner of Chicago that was so special it has to be shared with the world.

Looking for a chill evening with fantastic food, please please please check out Sakura Sushi Bar. I can’t wait to go again

This is truly a hidden gem ❤️ humble little place, food and service was amazing 10 out of 10. You will not be disappointed. I came here to celebrate my son’s birthday. They even brought him a brownie ice cream dessert I was not expecting that, that was the icing on the cake for me. I’m a fan! Thank you so much! I will recommend this restaurant to my family and friends. It is BYOB, which is no problem at all.

Truly an amazing place all around. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for a date night or gathering with friends. The ingredients are fresh, service is very friendly and presentation is also very thoughtful. The crunchy spicy tuna rolls were my favorite. Not to mention it’s BYOB and prices are very reasonable! Definitely will be back soon.

Great service and great food! This is truly a hidden gem. They didn’t have everything on the menu when I went due to some external factors but the sushi was quick and excellent.

The owner/chef, Alfredo, was literally the highlight of our experience. Not only was every single sushi dish DELICIOUS and beautifully presented (with hand made sauce art with each roll) but the service was unmatched. You could tell that each roll was hand made with love and care. Alfredo even went so far as to make us hand squeezed fresh lemonade without even asking. If you haven’t been to this place, bring your friends and BYOB- this is THE SPOT!!
