We had such a weird experience here. When we entered we were asked if we would be okay with dining off of paper plates. No big deal to us -- I use paper plates every day of my life -- so we sat down, thrown menus and then within 6 seconds were grumpily asked what we wanted to order. We ordered, however, our orders weren't written down, which scared me because my orders tend to always come out wrong... But our waitress seemed confident in her memory so I wasn't able to insult her by asking her to write anything down. Lo and behold, one of my orders was wrong, but she claimed that I ORDERED IT WRONG (I order this everywhere I go, the exact same way, and it's never confused).... and I just apologized but didn't accept it for food allergy purposes. She did have the kitchen remake it but she wasn't happy about it. I get it, but also, I ordered it exactly how I wanted it.... Any who, the rest of our food was thrown at us when ready... And honestly, it all looked really good so while I was weirdly uncomfortable with how we were being treated, I also didn't care because the food looked delicious... And it was! Shockingly enough, it was actually some of the tastiest and freshest sushi/sashimi my husband and I have ever had! So much so that we had to order more when we finished our first batch of food because our eyes are way bigger than our stomachs. The waitstaff NEVER lightened up the entire time we were there... And my husband and I were just so confused by it because he and I weren't rude one bit. We always treat people with respect and courtesy, so we just didn't really understand. Any who... We finally wound up being done, paid, and left...... I 100% know that this dining experience will be one I remember forever and I will be forever confused by it, ha ha ha.

Best sushi for the price in the area. Always very quick (within 15 minutes), and fresh. They have places where you can sit and eat, but it's mainly takeout.

Good: Decent place for sushi given the location. American dream roll, Colombia roll and Fuji roll are very good. Hibachi and Udon are good. Bad: The cashier woman that takes orders is super rude sometimes lol, but I can't imagine being a sushi restaurant cashier is that great so I can sympathize with that, and she's been there as long as I can remember going there for like 10+ years. It also became take out only during the pandemic and they never reopened dining. The only bad thing about the food itself is that the same roll can taste totally different the next time you get it.

Sakura has the BEST fried rice! I get the chicken fried rice with 2 hibachi sauces and it is less than $10. This is a meal that fills me up and is normally pretty fast coming out! I love the takeout option that they have. They aren't opened up inside yet, but I'm sure they'll be back soon! This restaurant is in a strip mall and can be easy to miss, but keep your eyes peeled!! It is sure to impress you!! 10/10

This place is great, even though for now it's just carry out. The Shrimp Tempura Roll is terrific, and I had the Steak Terryaki Bento Box. For $12.45, it includes very well prepared, I assume Sirloin, steak strips in terryaki sauce, a sushi roll, fried rice, miso soup, dumplings, and a salad. I was surprised, for sure. And all very tasty.

After driving to Litchfield and looking at Yelp reviews, I felt inclined to try Sakura. From the parking lot, things look sketch, however they had a Budweiser sign and I knew we would be okay. Front door is stunning, colorful lights on the ceiling are amazing, DDR inspired tracks add to the quaint but classy environment. Tiffany greeted us with an option of table or booth, we chose booth. She then complimented my hair and brought a smile to my face. She promptly brought us our drinks and asked if we needed anything. All I needed was a recommendation on the best roll to try, she stated the American dream was "sooooo good", so we tried it. We ordered the Godzilla roll, pink lady and American dream. All of which were incredible. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone stopping in good ol' Litchfield. Thanks Tiffany for your wonderful suggestion and kind words. You are the gem Litchfield.

I feel like I have really high expectations for sushi. I'm originally from Chicago and was really wary of eating here at first. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was very quick and pleasant. We ordered 5 different things; California roll, Alaska roll, tuna roll,red dragon roll, and salmon sashimi. Food came out really quickly. Waited only about 10 minutes. It was presented wonderfully and was absolutely delicious. So happy I ate here and will be going again.
