This new restaurant is such a great addition to Lincoln. I love to find a new locally owned restaurant. The food was delicious. We had the shrimp tempura udon, cheesy fries, pan fried gyoza, stir fried udon, and mapo tofu ramen. Delicious!

This was my first time at Sakura, I definitely recommend the restaurant. We were here for lunch, and my wife had the ramen and I had the savachi steak. The food was really good, and I can’t wait to come back again.

This restaurant is DELIGHTFUL!! We wanted to try somewhere new for date night and will definitely be coming back. The staff were so friendly and fun and the owner was very sweet and clearly really values customer feedback and is working really hard to create a desirable food/drink menu and atmosphere for her customers!
The hibachi chicken and steak were both DELICIOUS. Fried rice was amazing (I am super picky about fried rice). Yum yum sauce was even better than at Grey Whale which was my favorite before.
I love that they have a sake flight, it was fun to try a bunch of different flavors. The Sakura mixed drink was really good, not too sweet but had a nice smooth flavor.
I forgot to take a picture of our food before it was devoured but I got one of the sake flight and the matcha cheesecake!

Nice little spot for some Japanese food, we got the Shishito Peppers, Caramelized Pineapple, Takoyaki, Mango Crab Rangoon, Sakura Mini Fried Rice, and the Hibachi Steak. Peppers were pretty tasty, as was the pineapple and the takoyaki. As for the appetizers though, the mango crab rangoon were definitely the stand out, even if they were a little over done.
My girlfriend enjoyed the mini fried rice, though she noted that hers didn’t seem to have any shrimp in it.
I got the hibachi steak, and the steak itself was very good, though it’s worth noting that it didn’t come with the side of pasta or the soft boiled egg, which I was a bit sad about.
Overall, we had a good experience, though I will note that the cup I got for water held like 8oz of water or something, way too small in my opinion, the poor waiter ended up refilling it like 5 times for me.
I’m not in the biggest rush to go back, but I’d be happy to check it out again at some point, I do want to try their beef katsu!

For starters, the Mango Crab Ragoons were excellent: the exterior crunchy and the cheese-to-crab ratio great.
Next, the miso soup was great: plenty of tofu + seaweed and something I’ve never seen before: green onions. They complimented the soup very well! Overall, the miso soup was well made, not overly salty and quite flavorful.
My mom got the Teriyaki Chicken: She said the rice was good, was not hard. The Teriyaki was not heavy and didn’t overpower the chicken meaning it had a great taste and was not unnecessarily salty. The vegetables were well cooked and not mushy.
I got the Shoyu Ramen: It had plenty of tasty toppings to compliment the noodles and broth. The broth was quite flavorful and not overly greasy or fatty like I’ve been had before. Definitely a nice warm meal for the upcoming winter.
For dessert, we got the Mochi Ice Cream, the Green Tea and Mango Mochi. They did not taste artificial, not overly sweet as well. They were quite nice after our meal!
My mom commented that even after everything we ordered, it was quite low priced. We had gone to places with lower quality and worse service that costed more.
Our server was very friendly and quick to serve us. We waited around 10-15 minutes for our main dish, getting our appetizer a few minutes after ordering it. The wait was not long at all.
The seats were comfortable and the overall atmosphere was pleasant—would come back again!
