I have gone to Sakura once for lunch. The ambiance is very good, but the price is too high, especially for the quality. I got nigirzushi (eel, yellowtail, and tuna). I have had better sushi/nigrizushi in Fayettevile for less and the quality was equal. In fact, I paid about the same amount in San Diego, at the best sushi place I have ever eaten at in my life. If you are ever out there, it is on Coronado. The name of the place is Yummy Sushi. They make a Shrimp Tempura that you cannot get here. They put the shrimp inside the roll, then cover with yellowtail, tuna, salmon, and another fish (can't remember) and cover with volcano/lava sauce. It is excellent, the soft texture of the fish with the crunchy shrimp is super. Enough fish for 12 pieces and only around $15.
I used to really enjoy eating at Sakura, but lately they have really gone down hill. The quality of their Sushi and service have both declined. I used to recommend this place to people that wanted to get decent Sushi in Fayetteville, but I can no longer do so. For what they serve now, it is overpriced. On top of everything else their Sushi Chef's (if you can call them that) are not even of Asian decent anymore.
I've dined at Sakura twice. But I prefer to go to Matsuri. I've been to many Japanese/Sushi restaurants and actually worked at one, and I can say that their sushi is not really the best. I agree with everyone that their rice is very sticky and the sushi doesn't taste fresh. The servers were friendly, but they tried to hurry us when we were eating (which was very rude) cause they close around the afternoon. If you are looking for a Japanese/Sushi restaurant around Fayetteville, I recommend going to Matsuri, which is 2 minutes away form Sakura on Skibo Road next to the furniture store, where they have real Japanese people making your sushi.

I think this person must be affiliated with Matsuri. Matsuri has got to be the worst place to get Sushi in Fayetteville.
I am not affiliated with Matsuri. If I was, I would never go to Sakura twice. Matsuri does have BETTER SUSHI than Sakura, no doubt.
Must agree with jvz3o5baby. Comparing price and quality, Matsuri is a much better deal. We must realize this is not Seattle, San Diego, or Tampa, places I have been and got killer sushi. This is Fayetteville and your going to get only this level of quality.
