What User doesn't like about Sushi Sakura Japan:
A Failing Grade for Sakura. When you have 6-7 Sushi places in Parksville, you had better step up to the 'Plate' and deliver 'cause it's a dog fight for the scraps out there. There are better places to satisfy your Nipponese Nibblees. Search for the alternatives a few blocks in either direction. View all feedback. What User likes about Sushi Sakura Japan:
We have eaten at Sushi Sakura several times in the past few months. The food [nigiri, sushi rolls, bento boxes, etc] is always excellent. The sushi is always tasty, fresh and quite delightful. No problem in recommending this restaurant., Robin B View all feedback.

I'm not sure where the multitude of poor reviews about this little restaurant came from, or perhaps I just came on an excellent day for them - but our meals wer...

Sakura in Parksville receives mixed reviews for its sushi offerings. While some diners praise the freshness and taste of the dishes, others are disappointed by the bland flavors, small portions, and mediocre service. The restaurant is commended for its vegan options and good value, but there are concerns about inconsistency in food quality and service. Overall, Sakura seems to be a hit or miss spot, with some customers vowing never to return and others enjoying the hidden gem for its great food at reasonable prices.
