Re-visited this izakaya last night. Obviously, business has been grown with more wait-staff instead of just one last time. Ordered the sashimi (main), Wagyu sashimi (my favourite), Geso Yaki, cream croquette, Unagi & cucumber roll, ebi tem roll.Honestly, we were disappointed this time. Portions of dishes have been reduced; particularly the wagyu sashimi. Sushi rolls were not as tasteful as before. Geso Yaki only served in squid legs. At the end, we have to add the Pork loin in order to fill up our half-filled stomach. Although the sashimi plate is fresh, we can have the same freshness in Hana Sushi @ Sunnypark. Wish the management can think about it :(Rating 3.5/5Sep 15, 2016 Rating 5/5Read so many positive reviews of this Izakaya and eventually managed to have dinner at this place last night. Arrived at 5:45pm. When I first stepped in the dining area, I felt that I have made the right choice. There are four to five Japanese staff working in this little restaurant with seating capacity of 35. Just looked at the two chefs working at the sushi bar, I could judge that they must be very busy. The observation on their take-away orders from so many Japanese customers proved it to be true. They have menu with nice pictures and spectacular varieties. Particularly some of them are not offered by other Japanese restaurants in Brisbane, such as Wagyu Sashimi and Ama Ebi Sashimi. Needless to say, these two dishes were the first lot of order that I aimed. Then I order the Grilled Octopus, Sunset Sushi Roll, Scampi Hand Roll, Eel Nigiri and Tamago Nigiri and we placed an extra order of small combination Sashimi at the end. If I write my appreciation on each dishes, it will definitely take a few pages. Just cut the long story short, then it will be fresh, fresh, fresh, quality quality, quality, tasty, tasty, tasty. Most importantly, the price delivers high CP ratio. Overall it’s performance is over Hosokawa at Racecourse Road. What a local gem! Thumb up! Like,like, like!
Im going to keep this short and sweet. Among a huge number of restaurants in Brisbane trying to do Japanese cuisine, Sakura is among the best of the best. The fit out is very very modest, the location is hardly a destination and yet the quality of food speaks volumes. I can only think of 1 other Japanese restaurant thats as good as this place in Brisbane and its located all the way over the other side of town. So, what makes this place so good? The seafood is just so fresh and has obviously been picked out by a very keen eye. The knife work is excellent and gets the best textures out of every slice. The flavors within the dishes outside of the sushi/sashimi were also all very authentic in their subtlety. Japanese food when done well isnt overly flavorful, just balanced. Not much more to say other than its a very solid 5 and I believe you will seldom receive a bad meal here.
