TWO THUMBS UP!!!!
i went here because it was next to heinen for grocery shopping.
when i was done, i asked the staff there where is the best place for lunch, they raved about sakura.
i figured i would just go in and get a california roll, but when i walked in i found out i has so many choices...
i asked the server to recommand one roll and one appetiser for me ....i ordered jalepeno yellowtail, the yellowtail was fresh and tasty with the jalepeno and sauce. the pink lady roll was awesome with a little piece lemon on the top, it brings out the flavor.... i highly recommend this restaurant.... two thumbs up!!!

Made me sick
I got very sick after I ate the sushi here, called them so they could remove the food from the line, and the girl who answered argued that it couldn't have made me sick! Clearly I will not eat here again.

A great place for a first date, or anything
I love this place. Sakura is one of my favorite places to eat. I went on a first date there and i fell inlove with it. we went to the hibachi grill for our meal. it was such a fun experience. The cook was very funny and entertaining. It wasn't a dull meal. I got the chicken meal for about $16. It was so good. the chicken was cooked just right and the veggies were great also. i can't wait to go back.

You can get better sushi across the street at Heinens and not deal with the rude staff
After eating here today for the third time in two weeks I must say this afternoon went down as easily the worst Sushi dining experience of my life.
After ordering a roll I couldn't help but notice no-one was actually tending to Sushi Bar like the other two days I had went there. The Unagi Maki roll which I had just paid over ten dollars for was literally rolled so poorly that it fell apart by picking it up with chop sticks.
After finishing it within a minute I was treated to hearing my waitress and another waiter complain about meager tips in the back room next to the Sushi Bar. My waitress did not come to wait on me for an entire 15 minutes when the entire place had maybe 5 customers there at lunch time.
After waiting for near 15 minutes the owner had to go back there and tell her to come wait on me to see if I needed my check or anything else.
Being as I have worked in food service before and understand how much waiters and waitresses rely on tips I tried to do the classy thing and leave a 6 dollar tip giving the girl a 20$ for a bill that ran me 13.90 for four eel rolls that fell apart and a cup of luke warm Miso Soup.
Even leaving her a tip after such poor service the girl did not even say thank you only replying with "Are you good than?" and when I replied Yes thank you" she said "Ok"..
Knowing that this is a family establishment and that she was most likely a family member of the owner spoke volumes about the effort that is put into this place not to mention the lack of class when the two servers are complaining openly in front of customers about their lack of tips and not even saying thank you for a decent tip after such poor service that the owner had to call her out on it..
I will never go here again and if I am in dire need of Sushi I will merely get it via takeout at Heinens or drive the extra ten minutes to Shuhei in Beachwood.
I have never been presented such poor quality food in addition to frankly having a staff member sit back after serving it and complain about her lack of tips to a co worker.. I felt like I was dealing with staff with the class of a disgruntled East Cleveland Burger King worker while paying 14 dollars for a lunch that left me hungry.

Great Sushi Restaurant !!!!!
My husband and myself love Sakura. It is always a special meal when we go there to eat dinner or lunch. My husbands loves the sushi. The sushi chef are wonderful. I always have a great meal. We eat at the bar and the bartender is very attentive and helpful when trying out new things I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. It is a 5 Start restaurant in my book.

Not Bad at All!!
Gotta say I've eaten here several times already and have not been disappointed even once. The service has been very attentive even when ordering custom sushi like I usually do since I like to devise some of my own rolls on occasions. The grade of sushi in my opinion has been top scale and as fresh as can be on each visit so hands down this place has everything in order! Some of their own signature rolls are some of the best I have ever had and overall its one of my favorite sushi places in the area (Solon - Hudson - Brecksville). Portions are very fair and prices will not break the bank which is a huge bonus for me since I don't "play it light" when indulging in sushi - it’s one of my favorite foods and believe me I can be very critical of the places that serve it if they don’t do it right.
If you're looking for a great sushi place, Sakura makes the grade. Good atmosphere, good service, and great Sushi!

Sushi is Sensational!
Creekview Sakura is imho THE place to go for sushi in the Cleveland area. The ambiance is not the trendiest as far as sushi places are concerned, but it is clean, well lit, and even has live entertainment on some nights (don't worry - hibachi and sushi chefs are there every night and are every bit as entertaining!).
My wife and I usually get miso soup followed by 5-6 sushi rolls. When we go in bigger groups, the boats start setting sail from the sushi bar to our table. The miso soup is good - just salty enough, and the seaweed is firm. The sushi is consistently excellent, whether we order "only" 5 rolls, or when we order 7 rolls and a large boat for 3. I usually order something different every time I go, and I have never been disappointed.
The service is good and usually friendly. I once had a female server ask me if I could speak Chinese, since I am Chinese by descent. When I said no, she started talking kind of rudely about us in Chinese to another server after a while. Just because I can't speak Chinese, it doesn't mean I can't hear it... :) I never let her know that I was on to her, though, and I have never seen her the many, many times I've been to Creekview Sakura since this unfortunate incident.
OK - Enough ranting about one server who hasn't worked there for years. I didn't count her for my "Service" score.
There is no better place to go for sushi than Creekview Sakura. They have an expansive menu, lots of special rolls which are not in the menu, and the quality/consistency cannot be beat!

Super Sushi!
I ate here last week and sat at the sushi bar. It was fun watching the sushi chefs work. I ordered the house salad ($2.95) and the shrimp tempura sushi ($7.50 I think). The salad was okay- the typical lettuce with ginger dressing served in Japanese restaurants. The dressing was not the best I've ever had. The shrimp tempura sushi (actually I think it is called futomaki since it is cooked) was fabulous, though! This was absolutely the best I've ever had- the shrimp was fried in a light crunchy batter and it was still warm. It was wrapped, along with cucumber strips and avocodo, in sushi rice and seaweed. It was then drizzled with some sort of brown sauce and sesame seeds. Magnificent!
Service was average. Since I was at the sushi bar and I was the only person sitting there, the staff couldn't help but notice when I needed something. The sushi chef was friendly and chatted with me. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience.

Forget it
Service was average and the atmosphere average.
A seafood soup was hot and tasty, although a miso soup was seved lukewarm. The rest of the meal was total disaster. Chicken on a skewer appetizer (about $5.00) was so dry and tough it could not be chewed. A salmon entree (about $15.00)was served floating in a syrupy sauce that had no definable taste except concentrated sugared soy, cloying and salty. Never mind, the salmon was inedible anyway. It was so dried out that the edges were crusty. Neither of these these dishes should have ever been set on a table in front of a customer. This was the third and last time I visited this restaurant. Our other experiences with the food were not good but nowhere this bad.
