Sakura Ojai - Japanese restaurant in Ojai - 219 E Matilija St, USA

Tasty! Came here on a Saturday for lunch. Everything was delicious. The sear and flavor of the white tiger roll was *chefs kiss!* The sauce for the raw oysters complemented the dish well. Attentive servers and awesome food.

Whenever I’m in smaller towns, I don’t exactly have high hopes for the sushi available, but this place blew me away. Everything was so incredibly fresh and the flavors were amazing. We got the baked green mussels, cucumber salad, Alaska roll, and the baby lobster roll. There was a sign saying that they were understaffed and to please have a little bit more flexibility, but overall the food came out at a pretty decent time and everyone was super friendly.

Knew the original owners. They did a fantastic job building clientel, food excellent and portion sizes larger than similar restaurants. New owners reduced portion size, but the food is still worth the trip. If they read these reviews I would suggest reducing the price. I dine out frequently, but don’t normally give reviews. $15 per entree is too high when at least in my family we order more than one roll for a meal. It’s not overpriced on quality, but overpriced on portion size. That said, we consider this a go-to restaurant.

I received friendly service here. The staff is very nice. The sushi was really good and the rolls were amazing. I had the Hawiian roll and the wild thing roll and an order of tuna sushi.

Udon soup is not that spectacular comparing to other popular udon restaurants out there 😞. that we had eaten. We came to celebrate our son exact 21st b-day. He liked to have Japanese meal for his special day. This was our first time trying out this restaurant.. Make sure you inspect your food ingredients in the soup before eating. Udon noodles were missing when waitress brought out the soup. Only vegetables . We had to send back. Washington roll is not available on the menu ; So we substitute with other rolls. Other rolls were ok We rode over 2hrs to get here due to bad thanksgiving traffic 🚦.lol 😢.

First time here. The roll menu has a lot of California roll based rolls, which is good news if you love krab, but a bit meh if you're like me and you're tired of eating California rolls over and over again every sushi stop you go to. That being said, I found their Ojai roll a fun change with it's variety of fish in a deep friend roll (with no krab)! The food came in a timely manner, but the waiting staff was a bit unattentive. All in all, an alright stop.

I don’t live in this neighbourhood, but I come here often. We always eat here when we come here. The meals are Beautiful and Tastes fantastic!!… The team is welcoming and cooperative. Sashimi Combo, Rolls,…etc. I love this place ~^^* I highly recommend it 👍💕

We ordered takeout, so used the online menu. It didn't seem like there were a lot of different rolls, or sushi/sashimi options to select. The food was okay, but not really noteworthy.
