Sakura Japanese Restaurant

To put this in perspective, this is an all you can eat sushi place in a strip mall in the Walmart parking lot. Having said that, I couldn’t be more impressed. I’ve been in Norfolk almost a month, coming from San Diego, where sushi places are on every corner. I stayed away from sushi because I didn’t think it could stand up against my standards. This place definitely tried to impress. The real reason I was willing to try this place is because of everybody’s review saying how nice the staff was, they couldn’t be more right.

I love this place! I come for the all you can eat for lunch. It's so good. Presentation us A1 here also. I love that they have sushi that is not raw also. My favorite is the spicy girl roll.
