Ambiance was amazing, nice lighting, quiet and the food was delicious, ordered a lot, I can't remember right now but it was very good, my girlfriend loved the strawberry mochi! Service was very helpful with the questions we had as well.

Had lunch at Sakura yesterday. Was fresh and delicious.. still got it after all these years.

We were very impressed with not only the quality of the food, but the quantity in the Bento box was generous. Our server forgot a few things but she was in fact busy. Same interior as years gone by so no need to change anything as long as the product is good. Definitely going back.

Having never been to Sakura Bana I wanted to check it out after the owner of Yoshitomo bought it. They had yet to update the menu so I got to see why it was an Omaha staple for sushi for so many years. It offers an authentic array of Japanese cuisine. The pork Katsu was crispy and delicious, the nigiri was well prepared with quality fish and the roll was equally as good. Excited to so see how David Utterback and team can elevate the experience further!

Good standard sushi fare that is well prepared and quickly served! Wait staff were incredibly attentive. Atmosphere was inviting but more traditional than the fancy exterior would indicate.

Sakura Bana is my to go restaurant for authentic Japanese food and sushi in Omaha. The super sushi special is one of my favorite dishes to get as well ask the chriashi don or sukiyaki. They have a great variety of sushi. The service is very good & all the workers are so friendly.

Sakura Bana is at the top of my list for Sushi in Omaha. What you get here is authentic, unique and delicious rolls and dishes that you won't be able to find at other sushi areas around. They have unique flavors, like the Volcano Roll, and some more classic rolls like the Mango Roll. Whether you like sashimi or teriyaki chicken or a good California Roll you will be able to find something here. We got our food relatively quickly but the ambiance was simple, easy, and authentic to what we were going to eat. It wasn't anything flashy - it was just what we needed. All of the servers we interacted with were kind and helpful in picking our food and getting us what we needed. Give this one a try!
