We lived in Rochester for a few years, and Sakura was by far my favorite place to eat in Minnesota. I'm so glad that some friends took us along to this restaurant. It was my first Japanese food, and it made a great first impression. Since then, Japanese has become my favorite food and I have sampled it at several restaurants both in various Midwestern cities and also on the East Coast and the Northwest. Sakura's food was just as good as it was in any other place where I've eaten since. The atmosphere is great, the staff is wonderfully helpful whether you're a sushi novice or experienced Japanese food fan. It's definitely one of the best restaurants in the Cities.
Pros: Excellent food, Helpful staff, Great atmosphere
Cons: Pricey
