Sakura Sushi

Went to the door to ask how much their dinner was:
Me: «Hello, how much is dinner?»
Lady: (rude voice) «How many people?»
Me: «3 people»
Lady: «We can’t serve you now, last call 9:30»
It was 8:35pm

I used to go to Sakura all the time when I went to high school close by and I have to say, I used to love it. It’s perfect for a student budget and there’s something nice about walking in, taking a seat, and having the staff bring your drinks to you because they already know what you want. Sometimes they’d forget to bring out something that we ordered, but there’s no hassle in just letting them know. I’ve been to AYCE sushi restaurants before that bring back your order sheet and argue with you when you do this but Sakura is totally cool with it. They also don’t ever kick you out if you’ve been there for ‘too long’ which is also awesome. I once sat there with friends for three hours (eating the whole time) and their service was good the whole time. Yes, there are better sushi places out there but you get what you pay for.

Sushi is great. Had a few bad experiences. I once went there and their stove wasnt working they could not make any tempura. Watch out if you get all you can eat… if you order too much they get mad and give you dirty looks.

I was in the third circle of hell a couple days ago. I was forced to come up to the middle of nowhere for sushi because my friend wanted me to meet her boyfriend. As I sat there suffering, I casted silent judgment on the guy who thought a sushi restaurant should:
1) serve sushi with ketchup or overly sweetened sauce,
2) have spring rolls (aka egg rolls in American English — those Canadians!)
3) give you FAKE crab meat being sold as scallops
4) have mediocre sushi at best (even the rolls where you can dress up with various stuff were terribly bland)
5) makes up the worst stuff for uneducated North American taste buds, like Japanese hash browns (deep fried hash browns with creamed corn in the center)
And for all these reasons, that guy thought this was the best sushi restaurant in the world. I realized that I could never date anyone with bad taste in food. It’s just pure torture.
The service I had was great. The servers were really nice and I felt so bad for them having to give us this terrible stuff. I would be embarrassed. For the service I give them two stars.

For a Tuesday lunch a day after Monday Holiday, everything was still consistent EXCEPT the Tempura batter. The Shrimp Tempura was more of a Flour Batter making it more batter and doughy.
The Shrimp Tempura that was made into a ROLL was lacking of any kind of batter and looked like someone attempted to batter the shrimp but the batter came OFF.
Maybe the REGULAR Cooks had their shifts on the 3-​day Long Weekend and a TEMP filled in. Unfortunately, I have to drop HALF a star for them at this point. *2.5 Stars*
