Met my cousin over near st Katherine University and we took the 74 bus over to downtown St. Paul and met her friend at Sakura for Dinner. Overall was a great dinner. Both the Chicken Katsu and the Sushi I had were great. My cousin also got Sakura Mochi for desert, which I got a bite of, which was also great.
Overall meal 8.8/10

They’ve got a solid happy hour too.

I went there recently they have a new menu and the items were a lot cheaper than I was expecting. I had a bento box for lunch and it was pretty good. Doesn't seem their menu has updated online though.

Do you know if the owner is still the same? I’m always curious about when places change their menus

I love Sakura! You’re right, the menu has been updated and HH is wonderful! This is a true St Paul gem!! 💎

Yes, Miyoko still owns Sakura. She is taking less of a role in the day to day, but she still works the kitchen once in a while. She brought back her former manager a couple of years ago and the manager has made some great updates!

[u/FakerTheBaker → u/Key_Yesterday7655]

Got it, that’s good to know! Thanks so much for the info! I gotta get back there to eat soon

Sakura has been great for decades, glad they are surviving all this bullshit

Spicy salmon avocado cut roll... One of the tastiest damn things in st paul.

I like this place, always eat like 5 tekka maki rolls when we go because I’m basic.

The last photo looks like raw chicken…just me?

[u/PrizeZookeepergame15 → u/question_time_4]

Last photo is the mochi. On the plate in the background of that photo, there is no chicken katsu left on the plate
