"Best Sushi in Winston Salem, bar none. From a former So. California girl who has been eating Sushi since 1961 in restaurants that were owned and run by Japanese: this is consistently the best sushi and sashimi I 've had here. I can 't compare it to other places in High Point or Greensboro because I haven 't tried any of their 'Japanese ' restaurants. I 've lived in Winston Salem only five years now and I 've tried four other sushi places and Sakura has the freshest fish of any, and they actually know how to prepare tempura so that it is light and lacy. This is also the only place I know of where you can get some shiso, which is a leaf often found at Japanese sushi restaurants in California, and which my daughter and I like very much. Our favorite waiter is Luke. He 's very knowledgeable and speaks some Japanese, even though he is of Chinese decent and grew up in Indonesia. I, my daughter, a friend and my two grandsons love this place. Only things missing in presentation are daikon threads that usually accompany some sushi dishes and sashimi (takes some skill in learning how to do this); and the traditional style of serving white fish, like red snapper, with ponzu sauce with finely shredded topping of scallion or tobiko. One dish I miss that doesn 't appear on any Japanese menu here locally is Sukiyaki, one of the best and most well known nabi dishes of Japan."
